Wash its mouth out daily, keeping a soft linen cloth especially for this use. A pinch of powdered borax in the wa- ter for this purpose will prove bene- ficial, as it tends to cleanse out all partieles of milk which may adhere to the roof or sides of the mouth.

Who has not felt this? Who not done this?” has ENGLISH FARMS. Farmers in Great Britain Worse Than in America. Farms in England are selling at a ruinous reduction of their former val- ue, and in many cases cannot be sold at all, says the New York Tribune. Many properties within two hours’ ride of London are deserted. Recently at the sale of Langdon abbey 639 aeres of land with farmhouse, stahling, home- Stead and seven modern cottages. only realized £5,700, or less than £9 per acre, Fifteen years ago the property was valued at over £20,600, and four years ago it was mortgaged for £14,000. In Essex county, within a day’s walk of the Bank of England, a farm which in 1875 rented for £40C has for the last five years years rented for £1 per an- num, the occupant paying the taxes, amounting to about £150. In many cases farms have been sold for less than one-tenth of their value twenty years ago. Well-to-do farmers are abandoning the business and going to the colonies or to cities to start life anew. Nor does there seem to be any hopeful outlook for the industry in the futtre. Lord Salisbury recently de- clined to receive a deputation of Eng- farmers, saying that he knew as much about the wants of the agricul- turists as they could tell, which was no doubt true, and it is equally true that with the best will in the world the government is powerless to render them any material assistance. Al- though the situation is grievous, there may be some consolation in the fact that it is worse on the continent, and seems to be equally irremediable. Wo have not yet suffered so severely in this country, but have by no means escaped the depressing influences which seem to have fallen on agricul- ture everywhere. on The Pulse of Progress. The phonendoscope is one of the re- cent inventions which promises great things for the medical practitioner. By its use the most obscure sounds within | the interior organization of the human body may be distinctly heard. It is the | invention of two professors in the Uni- | versity of Parma, in Italy. It is con- structed somewhat on the principle of he telephone, only, considering the uses to which it is to be put, it is much more delicate as a sound transmitter. It is about the size and form of a Jarge watch, and consists of two sup- erposed plates and a hearing tube. Ap- plied to the medical sciences, the phon- endoscope serves for the hearing of all the normal and abnormal sounds of the human organism, and its practical re- sults are very wonderful. Not only can the sounds of the organs of respira- tion and circulation be heard by its use, but also those of the muscles, of the joints, of the bones, of the capillary circulation, and the first faint indica- tions of prenatal life. ErSak IES A Poet's Chivairy. | The poetry of Longfellow reveals its | euthor’s sensitive, chivalrous spirit, so | that those famillar with his verses will ‘ead without surprise this story told by Mrs. Phélps-Ward in her “Chapters from a Life:” Longfellow was reading | aloud a poem one day to Madam Mod- Jeska, whose eyes filled with tears as the reading proceeded. “T shall never forget,” observes Mrs. Phelps-Ward, “the tone and manner with which he turned toward her, ‘Oh!’ he cried, ‘I meant to give you happiness! And I have given you pain!’ “His accent on the word ‘pain’ was like the smart of a wound.” Cause for Dissatisfaction. “Miss Oldgirl doesn’t look pleased at the account of her club meeting in this morning’s paper.” “z guess she isn’t, The club is called the Ancient Order of Bachelor Girls, and the paper has it REFORM IN DINNER-GCIVING. Simple Dinners Are Now Considered the "Elegant Dinners. “A dinner engagement, no matter whether the cinner be large or small, formal or inicrincl, is the most exact- jing of sociai oblige‘icns,” says the Ladies’ Home Jouraal. “Indeed, I al- ways felt a doubie sense of obligation when invited to a small dinner. In selecting the guests tur the small din- ner choose those who are congenial. Tf among your friends you mumber physicians, lawyers or politicians, do not invite one of each class, nor all of one class, simply because their profes- sions are the same, but select congen- ial spirits. Then small dinners, well arranged, are much more enjoyable than one large aventional dinner served to sixty i} ed people. The food is better. service better and diges- diet better snd even waen trained’ help cannot be employed the hostess may erjoy the occasion as well as the guests. The art of dining, remember, is quite apart from the art of giving dinners. A reform in dinner-giving is being instigated. dinners are now “ The lives frugally. A hostess must never forget that during the short-time her guests are under her roof she is re- sponsible for their happiness and com- fort. A huge dinner of twelve courses { of badly blended food is not conducive to either. Savarin sai ‘The dinner 4s a place where men are never bored for the first hour’; the insinuation that @ second shot.id prove a bore is rather \ prom ‘ne if people in the ordinary w s of e-are to make such enter- t ments a success they must never try new or elaborate dishes, or even new ways of sery ; they should sim- ply add an extra plate or two to the usual number and iavite their friends.” FORCOT Hi the PARCEL. Couls Have Been His Wite? A rather unigue instance of absent- mindedness ovcurred the other evening on the Jefferscu avenue car line, says the Detroit News-Tribune. The car was well filled with passengers and as a stop was made at McDougall avenue a man stepped off the back platform, where he had been standing, aud the car moved on. Instantly a wild cry went up from the late passenger, which broadened into a howl of despair as the distance between him and the trolley car wid- ened. As he shrieked he also ran and waved his hands frantically. The con- ductor, seeing the shadowy form in the dimness of the night and hearing the unearthly cries, pulled the bell-strap and thus induced the motorman to halt, which he did with a jerk. The man in pursuit came within hailing dis- tance, “What d’ye wart?” shouted the puncher of pasteboard. u et want—the—lady—in there!” gasped the man, swinging his hat at the open car door. The car having come to a dead standstill, a woman arose, deliberately walked out of the car and was received by her breath- less escort, who had so nearly left her to her fate of missing parcels. Amid much laughter the next man who left the car in company with a lady insisted that she walk in front of him until safely on the ground. A Boy's Essay on Journalism. From the Atlanta Constitution: A bright little voy who attends one of the city pullic schools was told by his teacher a few days ago to write an es- say on “Journalism,” and the next day he handed in the following: “Journal- ism is the science of all sorts of jour- nals. There is a heap of kin@s of jour- nals. Journals is good things ‘cept when they is hot journals, and then they is just awful. My ma, she takes a fashion journal what is.always full of pictures of horrid old maids with the ugliest dresses on ~I ever saw. The fashion journal is a heap gooder than the hot journal, ‘cause the hot journal stops the train and the fashion jour- nal starts it. The fashion journal don’t stop nothin’ but the broken win- dow light and pa’s bank account. “There is sheep journals and hog journals and brass journals, too, and pa has got a journal down town at the store and wriles things in it about folks he don’t want to forget. Then we had a woman ’t cooked i.-x us named Sally Journal. She was the funniest journal I ever saw. She was a bald- headed journal. “They ain't no more journals that 1 know of. “Pp, S.—I forgot to say that a man what puts grease on the car wheels is called a journalist.” An Episcopal Bicyclist. The Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol fs report: \ as the latest cycling recruit in Englanu He has been seen astrido a bicycle mere than once in the neigh- borhood of .iloucester lately.

Bad Res of Vaccination, In a family living near Houtzdale, Pa., there is a seven-year-old child no larger than a five-months-oid bahe. The baby was vaccineted when it was five months old, and blood poisoning re- sulting, it has not grown a particle since. At Last. Jack—Hurrah, Mamie! married now Union stock like lightning. Mamie—Oh, We can get Jack! Have you some? is going up ut your father has.—New Cattle Raising for the English Ua wet. Azcording to a British government’ report, the impcrtation of American cattle inte England is steadily om the increase. For the first five months of the current year it was 175,000 head, as compared with 112,000 for the same period last year. If this -rate per month be sustained, the year’s import will be over 400,000, or much larger than. the exceptional importation in 1892... The London and Liverpool mar- kets.have been so heavily supplied thatthe prices of American beeves have there fallen as low as 9c to 9 1-2¢ per pound (estimated dressed weight); while export steers were being uoted at Chicago at $3.75 to §4 per 100 lbs, live weight. At these rates shipments must have been made at a loss. The development of the chilled beef import trade presents many interesting feat- ures, and is, in many respects, very similar to that of live cattle. in| 600 pounds as the average weight is cattle slaughtered for the dre: beet trade, last year’s export from this country of fresh beef to England rep- resented a number of. cattle nearly equal to that exported alive, the latter being, however, heavier cattle. The past five months’ export of chilled beef was 108,759,600 pounds, as compared with 81,841,065 pounds for the same 4 period last year. At this rate, the t year’s export will be some 60,000,000 5 pounds greater than in 1892. It seems still a matter of doubt which of the two branches vf the trade offers the largest profits. The secretary of agri- culture, in his report for 1895, says: “It appears to work out more profita- | bly to transport the live cattle. They are carried on parts of the ship that would otherwise be unoccupied. They do not require such special fittings and appliances as to debar the vessel from carrying other cargo when cattle are not available.” The ocean freight on the four quarters of a steer varies from $5 to $6, How a Letter May Be Recalled. The public is not as familiar with its privileges about postal matters as might be supposed. Many times peo- qi ple would like to recall a letter after it has been mailed. This can be done, even if the letter has reached the postoffice at its destination. At every postofice there are what are called “withdrawal blanks.” On application they will be furnished, and, when a deposit is made to cover the expense, the postmaster will telegraph to the: postmaster at the letter’s desiination asking that it be promptit returned} The applicant first signs this agree-; ment: “It is hereby agreed that, if! the letter is returned to me, I will pro-! tect you from any and all claims made} against you for such return and will! fully indemnify you for any loss you! may sustain by reason of such action. And I herewith deposit $— to cover 4 all expenses incurred and will deliver to you the envelope of the letter re- turned.” In many cases persons have made remittances to fraudulent par- ties or irresponsible firms, not learn- img their true character until after F the letter had gone, and have’ suc~ : i ceeded in recalling them. There is:an a 1 instance where a Kansas City mer- chant had remitted a dishonest tray- i eling man a draft for $175, and by means of a withdrawal rescued the j draft just in time. : (ee manic ere nen | ‘The Longest Continuous Speech.
