Lend a Hand.
Liie is made ol ups and downs—
Lend a hand;
life is made of thorns and crowns;
II you would the latter wear,
lilt some emshed heart irom despair—
Lend a hand.
Crowns are not alone ol gold!
Lend a hand;
Diadems arc bought and sold;
But the crowns that good men own.
Come from noble deeds alone—
Lend a hand.
Many crown9 that many wear—
Lend a band;
Never in the sunlight glare;
Diamonds never in them shine,
Yet they hold a light divino—
Lend a hand.
Hold a light that ne’er shall fade—
Lend a baud;
Beauty, art hath never made;
'jFot these crowns that good men wear,
Fverfasting are, as rare—
Lend a hand.
Would you own so bright a crown
Lend a hand;
When you see a brother down,
Lead him from the deep, dark night,
* Place him in tl. morning light—
Lend a hand.

A ’am shell is more convenient for
scraping kettles and frying pans than a
knife. It does the work in less time.
When washing fine laces do not use
starch at all; in tho last water in which
they are rinsed put a little fine white
sugar, dissolve it thoroughly, and the
result will he pleasing.
When the hands are chapped, instead
of washing them with soap, employ oat¬
meal, and, after each washing, take a
little dry oatmeal, and rub over the
hand so as to absorb any moisture.
A solution of one and one-quarters ol
a pound of white soap and three-eighths
of an ounce of spirits of ammonia, dis¬
solved in twelve gallons of soft water,
will impart a beautiful and lasting
whiteness to any flannels dipped in it,
no matter how yellow they have been
previous to their immersion. After be¬
ing well stirred round for a short time,
the articles should be taken out and
well washed in clean, cold ivater.

Milk-Yeast Bread— Take one cup¬
ful of milk, add hot water to warm the
milk; mix sifted flour to make a thin
sponge; let stand over night in a warm
place; in the morning add one half cup¬
ful of butter, and flour to sufficiently
stiffen for bread, kneading thoroughly;
fill pans Half full, and in a warm place
allow the loaves to rise to the top of the
pans; bake in a steady oven, not too hot,
one hour.
German Flummery.—H alf pint ol
milk, two ounces corn starch, two of
sugar; boil until moderately thick,
Flavor with lemon or vanilla; beat the
whites of four eggs to a snow, stir in
lightly, turn the whole into a jelly mold
(any dish will answer) that has not
been wet with milk; let it get coot and
firm; serve with any fruit syrup, boiled
mustard ojj whipped cream.
A Nice and Simple Dessert.— Take
aalf a pint of rice,which must be put into
a little cold water and boiled until
nearly soft; now pour into it a pint of
rich milk and boil again, stirring it all
the time; sweeten with half a pound of
sugar, and season with a little rose-water
to your taste. Dip blane-mange molds
in cold water, and fill with the rice,
which should be cooked to the consist¬
ency of stiff mush. It will harden in a
short while, and turn out prettily upon
a flat dish. Eat with preserves and
cream, cream, sugar, and nutmeg, or
syllabub; custard even may be used for
variety’s sake.

The person who lives in the city has
but a small yard, and generally can
manage to keep it neat and clean. But
country fo If s have larger places, and
having so much work constantly on
hand theyji ej.flnable to spend the time
which thev think would be required to
make t.uir surroundings pleasant.
Many farmers also have an idea that it
costs a great deal to put out ornamental
trees and lay out the grounds as village
people often do. In order to lay them
out in an artistic manner and have the
grounds resemble a city park, consider¬
able money would be needed. But a yard
can be made quite pretty without much
labor or expense. The surface of the
ground should be made and kept quite
smooth, and the grass should be cut
often. A few ornamental trees or shrubs
may be planted, but a good green stretch
of lawn by itself looks pretty, and saves
work. Such a lawn, too, is enticing for
the children, and if kept neat, which
after all h the main thing, the place
will be much more attractive than such
too often are.
StwiiiK Seeds*
While it mny.bp Yffy desirable to save
the first seeds af-some'of our vegetables,
such as sweet corn, peas and beans, it is
not best to make snob a selection from
all kinds. The first tomatoes that
ripen are generally small andill-shapen,
and it would be undesirable to select
seeds from these, as they would soon
deteriorate the variety; but the best
plan is to wait till large, smooth speci¬
mens are produced, and from these
select seed for future crops. By doing
this for a few years, you will find that
you have wonderfully improved the
tomato; and to secure improvement o)
any kind of vegetable it is absolutely
necessary to select the best specimens ol
every kind. Deterioration ought to
have no place in tho farmer’s vocabu¬
lary.— Cultivator.
Take Uaoil Care of the Horsea.
Horses need good care in these hot
days of midsummer. They should be
kept clean by frequent currying and
occasional washing of the legs and feet.
The flies will cause tho most incon¬
venience, and while working in the field
some protection from them in the shape
of nets or thin blankets (sheets) is a great
comfort to the animals. Keep the sta¬
bles clean that they may not harbor the
flies or develop any bad odors. Horses
that are at regular farm work need good
food—better titan grass alone will give.
Oats or ground teed ot some kind must
supplement the pasture at night,
Ulixed Feed Best tor A»tfinals.
No animals do well for any great
length oftinie on any one article for food.
The natural condition of all our domes¬
ticated animal is to roam at large and
make their.own selections from the
abundant varieties which nature has
provided. We frequently speak and
write of the excellent feeding qualities
of one or another variety of fodder, but
in the experience of feeding it will be
found that in the first change from one
kind to another we have an increase of
milk, although the change may not al¬
ways be in favor of the most nutrition.
A new variety tempts the appetite, and
the extra quantity which the animal
consumes will move than compensate
for its less nutritious character. It is
generally said for a horse that is work¬
ing in heavy teams corn is preferable tc
oats, but for the driving or riding hors*
oats are better than corn. With this
statement we disagree and prefer a mix¬
ture. Oats produce more muscle, corn
more fat. A horse fed on oats is
quicker in its motions and more restive,
but fed on corn is steadier and more en¬
during, hence the benefit of mixed feed.
Nowhere is the advantage of a mixed
feed more apparent than in milch cows,
for, milk being a product that requires a
fair proportion of all the elements re¬
quired for the production of an animal,
it is ovidentthat all the elements^will be
necessary tor making milk. But Some¬
times we make a special effort to pro¬
duce an extra amount o f butter; then we
must feed an extra amount of food which
contains an excess of oil or fat. We
find if we are feeding the best of hay,
if we add a little meal we do not increase
the quantity of milk so much as the
quantity of butter. The German chem¬
ists have for some time been teaching us
that to obtain the best results in feed¬
ing we must have the supply of carbo-
dydrates (fat and heat producers) and
albuminoids (flesh producers) so evenly
balanced that one shall consume the
other in the animal economy, though
this cannot always be practicable on ac¬
count of the”different conditions of the
animals. One that is being fattened
will consume a larger portion of carbo¬
hydrates than of albuminoids, and the
latter will be found making richer the
manure pile, although food is furnished
largely in excess of fat-producing ma¬
terial. In growing animals flesh and
bone producers should be in the ascend¬
ancy, and in milch cows, as already
stated, the elements should be well
balanced. The evidence that no one
production of nature is ! 11 that is re¬
quired in Die animal economy is fur¬
nished in the fact that no one produc¬
tion is adapted to all the requirements
of the animals or all that is required
from the animal.
No person has any higher apprecia¬
tion of rye and corn fodder than tliQ
experienced feeder. Yet we do no{
think that these fed alone are equal to a
mixture. Rye is valuable because it
copies when it is desirable for the cows
to' have a change; but there is a won¬
derful difference between the addition of
a few quarts of brewers’ grains and a
quart of bran, mixed, and a pint ot
meal, in tke'produclion of milk; We ark!
compelled to feed rye alone because no
other forage crop is available, or we
would not do it. If we could have a mix¬
ture of barley, oats, and clover with the
rye, we should have a superior fodder.
Pasture grass,or rather grasses,excel,ton
for ton, either rye, barley, oats, clover,
corn fodder, or any like crops, because
pastures yield a combination of grasses,
all varying in their composition and in
their time of maturing; but the differ¬
ence is this, that we can obtain a ton of
any of the fodder crops from less than
one-tenth of the ground required for the
pasture grasses. Still, it is undesirable
to feed any one forage crop when we
could feed three or four mixed, or alter¬
nately. A mixture of grasses make a
more profitable hay than any one kind.
Clover and peas are good to alternate
witli corn fodder. Clover, which is
rich in albuminoids, will produce a
large quantity of milk. Sweet corn fod¬
der is rich in sugar, starch, and fat, and
will add to the milk the butter and sugar
elements, and so on. But we have said
enough to illustrate our position as to
mixed fped being best for animals.* ’

At the Bottom of the Ocean.
Wonderful, isu’t it? that it is possible
to tell what is at the bottom of the ocean.
It seems incredible to the landsman who
has ventured a few hundred yards out¬
side of the coast line that any one can
tell the secrets of the great deep. Yet
the scientists have mapped out the bot¬
tom of the ocean, at least of the Atlantic
ocean, and the story is told by Doctor
Crawford of the results of the explora¬
tion of the British ship Challenger. The
average depth, it seems, is about 13,000
feet, or about two miles and a half. The
average height of the entire land, of the
globe is only 1,000 feet above the sea
level. The area of the sea is about two
and three-quarter times that of land.
The form of the depressed area is liken¬
ed to a tea-tray, the edges of which
abruptly slope up, thu3 forming Europe
and Africa on the one side, and America
on the other. It is on this flat and
relatively even surface that the cables
are laid. Venus or Love, in the
old Greek mythology, was born of the
sea. Strangely enough, the scientists
all seem to think that the origin of life
-was in the ooze and slime which covers
the ocean beds. But how different are
the researches of the scientists compared
with the visions of the poet. Who does
not recall in this connection the splen¬
did lines which Shakspeare puts into
the mouth of Clarence, the brother of
bloody Gloster, who thus tela his
dream of the ocean bottom:
“ Methought, I saw a thousand ioarfnJ wrecks;
A thousand moil, that Ashes gnaw'd upon;
Wedges oi gold, groat nuuhoi s, heaps of pearls
Inestimable stones, unvalued jov ely,
All sc.irici'o l in the bottom ol the sea.
Somo lay in (lend men’s skulls, and in those
holes
Where eyes did once inhabit, there wereoicpt
(As ’twero in scorn ol eyes) reflecting gems,
That woo’d (lie slimy bottom of tho deep
And mocked tho dea l hones that lay scat¬
ter'd by.”
Fine poetry this, but wholly unlike
what Dr. Carpenter found in his re¬
searches.^ —Denmcst's Monthly.
Tile aud Wealth.
When the American girl lavishes her
smiles and her preference upon the hand¬
some youth of good family and great
fortune, dof s she prove herself to be a
snob ? If her feeling could be analyzed,
it would be simply this, that she would
willingly marry him as the condition of
an ample gratification of her social am¬
bitions and tastes. Her marriage would
seoure her the best social position, and
supply her with the splendid environ¬
ment which she desires. The young
English girl sets all her smiles in the
same way for a dissipated young marquis,
let us suppose, ignorant, and boorish,
and poor. But are not her feelings and
purpose the same as those of her Ameri¬
can sister ? Is not her motive the same
desire of the best social position and the
gratification oi splendid tastes ? And is
this what is meant by snobbery ?
Evidently Thackeray’s lance was
thrown at something more than this,
and one of the shrewdest of women says
that very snobbery is worship of rank as
marking a higher order of humanity.
The English girl, says this authority,
does not lock upon the marquis as the
American girl looks upon the young mil¬
lionaire, but she thinks him to be a
superior being and his willingness to
marry her a condescension. This is the
degradation of snobbery, she argues,
that a mere acoident, or something wholly
apart from the character or
of the person, like the form of bis
or the color of his hair, should
another person as a kind of
superiority. No American girl can
derstand that anybody is her
merely because be is of a certain
or of a recognized rank, and she
laugh until sunset at the suggestion
a man called a duke did her a favor, or
condescended to her, when he promised
to marry her. Snobbery, according to
this view, is the worship of
worship which levels all moral and
tal distinctions and eats up the soul,
But the desire of money in the
of the Amerioan also levels such
tinctions and in the same way. This
not an essential difference between
feeling which impels a woman to marry
a marquis because of his rank, however
poor, and ignorant, and repulsive
may be, and that which persuades
to marry a millionaire because of
money. Snobbishness is the
of time, and labor, and thought,
energy, in fact, of life, to mere
display. The woman yho laughs at
pretensions of social rank and
title, yet who gives herself for a
is no less a snob than her sister

A Dakota hove Story.
William Dowdall) of Faxon, Sibley
county, Minnesota, the head of a num¬
erous family ot boys and girls, yielding
o the laudable ambition of finding a
larger farm for his family, set his face
to the westward and selected himself a
home ol 320 acres in range fifty-six, in
McCook ’county, Dakota. So well
pleased was he with the country that he
resolved to send his two grown up
daughters out to the new laud of prom¬
ise that each of them might secure a
farm of her own. Willi this aim in
view the old gentleman, before leaving,
made arrangements with Charles Bar¬
rett, a claim agent and locator, who
guided himself in his homesceking, to
receive his daughters upon their arrival
at Sioux Falls. In course of time Dow-
dall’s daughters, Nellie and Annie, ar-
rived at the “ Lowell of the West,” and
true to his appointment an instinction
gallantry the lively land man, Barrett,
met them at the depot. They were a
pair of charming girls, calculated to ex¬
cite in the manly bosom a regret, that in
this favored region a man can marry
only one wife at a time. Added to the
charm of personal appearance Nellio
Dowdall, one of the sisters, was tho
happy possessor of ways at once practi¬
cal and fascinating. Nellie meant busi¬
ness, talked business, and was business
all over. She talked in an eminently
practical manner to the land agent, and
an an’4j$$ f ment was entered into that
they should start upon their land ex¬
ploring trip next morning. Sister Annie
was simply lovable. Nellie was tho
business partner of the concern, and i
was deemed inexpedient to take Annie
along, Nellie volunteering to “go it
alone” with the land man and select
claims lor herself and sister. On the
trip they were accompanied by other
homeseekers; but Birrett and Nellie
Dowdall occupied a foremost place fir
tho procession, enjoying a whole wagon
and quiet conversation to themselves.
As far as the history of the affair dis¬
closes, the whole conversation related
exclusively to business. The girl se¬
lected a pre-emption and timber claim
(320 acres) for herself, and the same for
her sister, and resolved to complete the
business of her mission by proceeding to
the Yankton land office, sixty miles dis¬
tant, to file the necessary application for
the claims.
It was afternoon on a rainy day, un¬
pleasant for a long ride in an open
wagon, and the land agent, fearing that
in the darkness they might lose their
way, suggested that they ' lay over
under shelter on the prairie that night,
but the bright young blonde from Min¬
nesota came West on business, and

him go on and make the entry

cuts iidpi the reign of Pharamond down¬
ward. Under Clovis, indeed, the heard
of the 'king was an object of peculiar
veneration, a,nd, indeed, every individ¬
ual was more or less sensitive regard¬
ing his beard. It is related that after
the great battle of Toibiac Clovis sent a
deputation to the defeated Alaric re¬
questing him to come and touch the
victor’s beard as a token of
Far from accepting the invitation in the
spirit in which it was offered, the en¬
raged king of the Huns seized the
Fraukish emissaries by the beards, and
hauled them out of the room by theii
revered looks. The unfortui ate envoys
returned rather crestfallen to Clovis,
narrated wliat had happened, and swore
“on their beards ” to avenge the affront.
In subsequent reigns the beard was the
object of numerous enactments, and the
fashion of wearing it was changed as
frequently. Sometimes it was worn
long, sometimes close-clipped, now
peaked, now plaited, or even decorated
with pearls and gold trinkets.
Even in the saeied atmosphere oi
Rome itseif beards were the objects of
considerable discussion. Different
popes enacted that no beards were to be
worn; another as stringently directed
thattttfr$0zor was never to be applied to
the chin. Saints Clement o Alexan¬
dria, Cyprian, Jerome and Chrysostom,
ongaged in vehement controversies
about the mode of wearing the liair
about the face in the fourteenth century.
In France the final triumph of beards
dates from the Renaissance, when the
example set by the great artists, who
largely indulged in these appendages,
was closely followed by the sovereign
and other magnates of the land. Under
Henry III. shaven chins were the
mode, the mustache being worn long
and drooping. During Henry IV.’s
rdign beards, cut square, came again
into fashion ,and mustaches were curled;
while under Louis XIY. beards were
again tabooed, and the mustache alone
worn, in the two following reigns the
razor was in full use. Under tho re¬
publican regime, as also under those of
the empirp and restoration, no beards
were grovjir. witp the They revolution came in again, ol 1830, how¬ in

bales. If it be; that amount, it will
produce 3 000.000 '^ tons of cotton seed wili
b ^ de s e e A ‘° r antin8 ; which
yield 0 90,000,000 aa „ n gallons of oil, M0Q,800 trife
tons of oil cake and 1,500,000 of
hulls suitable for making paper. Each
ton of oil seed meal will keep five sheep
six months. Thus the cotton seed crop
will support millions of sheep and
return to the land the fertilizer needed
to grow more Cotton. He further says
that the.present cotton acreage of the
South covers Ipss than two per cent, of
the cotton-growing area in the United
States.

A Fight VVUU Liens.
F. Faulkner Carter, in charge of the
elephanls attached to the Royal Belgian
expedition into Africa, gives an account
of a sudden fight he;, had with three
lions at Kerima, Central Africa. He shot
a pig, and soon discovered three lions
devouring it. He says: The two
nearest were within two feet of me, and
the furthest three and a half feet. - The
brutes’ boards, chests and claws were
covered with blood. Though startled
at first, I was perfectly cool, and yet felt
certain that 1 must be killed, as: even a
tame lion is savage when eating his
food. The lion opposite me caught
sight of me at once, curled his lips,
lashed his sides with his tail, but what
the others were doing 1 cannot say, as
my friend was in the act of springing,
and I dare not take my eyes off him for
a second. At last lie crouched for the
spring, and I let drive in his face, re¬
treating a step to give me p, chance with
the other barrel at one of the remaining
two, determined to sell my life dearly,
but to my great delight these two sprang
over the grass in opposite directions. I
gave a sort of sigh of relief, looked
round for my gunbearers, and there they
were, fifty yards off, trembling with fear
and blue with fright. The rascals had
run away, and I had no gun to fall back
upon. I returned to pick up my dead
lion, but foumfhe e had crept away with
a bullet through him. I followed his
trail until the jungle got too thick, it
being nearly dark.
Vegetine.
More to Me than Cold. *
Wax,YOL.E, Mass., Match 7, 1880.
Mr. H. R. Stevens:
I wish to inform you what Vegetine has done
for me. I have been troubled with Erysipelas and
Humor for more than thirty years, in my limbs
Oiker parts of my body, and have been a great suf¬
ferer. I commenoed taking Vegetine one year ago
last August, and can truly Bay it has done more for
mo than any other medicine. I seem to be per-
f ctly free from this humor and can recommend it
to every one. Would not be without this medioine
—’(is more to me than gold—and I feel it will prove
« blessing to others aa it has respectfully, to me.
Yours, most DAVID CLARK.

Elopement Fashions.
The fashions plain. for girls Some who white elope juS^H
now are very
ery, a convenient window, a long ladder,
a dark night, a coach, a minister, and
tlie house of a friend, and the elopement
is over. If the irate father, armed with
a double-barreled coal shovel and a
town constable, doe3 not pursue, the
affair is, although picturesque, not ex¬
actly a successful elopement. If the
father of the bride relents within two
ways the foolish couple are not happy
If it leaks out that the mether of the
bride is in the secret, much of the pleas¬
ure of the trip is spoiled. If both the
father and mother of the bride are in the
secret ot her going away, and have actu¬
ally left the ladder near the window,
and that fact is found out, the elopement
is a failure. Ip the olden time the eh>/-»
ing bride packed all her portable goods
on herself and went away heavily laden.
Now, as she is about to return in a day
or two in her lady friend’s dress, she
goe3 away quite light.
The Lotus club in London, for both
ladies and gentlemen, appears to be a
failure. Scarcely a week passes with¬
out some disturbance there in conse¬
quence of the introduction of ladie3 who
■ue distasteful to other ladies, etc._
