I The Art of Walking.
To be thoroughly graceful long steps
Mid quiok Bhort steps should be equal
ly avoided, remarks a French woman.
A stiff walk is also very ungraceful
and that is the great fault of English
guls. The walk too stiffly and tak
too long strides.
Spanish women have a very pretty
walk, naturallv, as also have Italian
country girls and all aocustomed to
carrying weights on their heads.
' The French are also very graceful
walkers, r study your , walk, girls.
, Take danoing lessons to begin with and
then repeat your lessons before your
long toilet glass. A pretty walk is a
beauty in itself, and every one who will
can acquire this beauty. Do it, then,
at once now without losing another
day. ,

Cultivating in an Orchard.
Young fruit trees greatly need to
bave the soil about them cultivated.
In working about trees, however, the
whlffletree is almost sure to bruise the
bark, sometimes quite spoiling the tree,
unless the greatest care Is exercised.
The cut shows a neat little device for
avoiding this difficulty. A bit of old
trace is tied to the whlffletree and car-
rier about its end, as shown. It Is then
tied to the trace, when it will prevent
the whlffletree iron or wood from bruis
ing the bark of any tree It happens to
strike. The importance of preventing
Injury to young trees is recognized by
but few. If badly hurt, the tree never
fully recovers.
Harnesses to Fit Horses.
Whenever a horse is sold the harness
In which it has been used to working
ought always to go with the bargain.
No two harnesses were ever made to
Bt alike, and especially where the pres
lure comes on the shoulder or neck In
Srawing. The skin under the old har
ness has been gradually toughened by
pressure on one spot But with the new
harness the pressure is shifted, it may
be only an inch or two, but It comes
trhere the skin Is tender and will quick
ly break when exposed to the collar.
If the whole harness cannot go, be at
least sure to Becure the collar with any
new horse purchased, so that the ani
mal can work without being tortured.
The collar once used for one horse
never ought to be used for another.
Hnnse for Winter.
The cut shows a method of securing
great warmth In a house that can be
used either for poultry or for the stor
age of fruit in winter. An excavation

is made In a side-bill, as shown in the
first picture. A stone foundation wall
Is then laid and the house shown in the
second illustration erected. Not a great
amount of excavating is required, as
the earth that is thrown out helps build
up the bank that is to protect the house
on all sides. A drain laid below the
HOU8K COMPLHT.
foundation, and brought around to the
south entrance, will take care of the
water that comes down from the higher
ground. '
Late Figs.
Pigs farrowed during Soptember will
got a good start before winter. Late
pigs are liable to be checked by severe
cold.' The most profitable pigs, how
ever, are those farrowed in the spring
and slaughtered late In the fall, as
they need not be kept over winter.
Farmers do no now give much atten
tion to raising pigs farrowed In the fall
unless they are patrons of a creamery
and have an abundance of material for
feeding, which only the pigs will con
sume. " ' ' : .i ; .; ;.' f

? Tie Handy Wheelbarrow.
The wheelbarrow Is very useful
about the stable and garden. tFor
wheeling out manure from the stables
the canal barrow, with flaring side
boards, Is best, as the manure can be
dumped from either side. For the gar-
den, the barrow with moveable aide
boards is the most convenient. In buy
ing a barrow, select one with a large
wheel and with a high front board. A
wide tire is also to be preferred; a
wide-tired barrow can be wheeled over
soft ground; a narrow one would cut
so deeply as to be almost impossible to
move. A canal barrow can be had fof
$2.50, and a good garden barrow will
cost from $3.50 to ?4. A strong, well
made barrow, that Is carefully built
and nicely painted, will answer every
purpose, and if carefully housed when
not In use will last for many years. It
will pay to buy a good one at the start.

Wood ashes is a valuable fertilizer for

Worm fruit in the orchard Is the best

Cutting of roses may be made aa the

Cutting out Is about the only sure
remedy for the peach borer.
Old bones buried near trees or grape
vines will have a goo effect.
Luck in planting is the result of good
common sense and judgment.
In budding, the scions should always
be of the current season's growth.
Cut off and burn all branches found
affected with the tent caterpillar.
Clear the raspberries and blackberries
out well, treating all useless sprouts as
weeds.
Buds should always be taken from
bearing trees if possible, so as to be true
to name.
Every farm should have one orchard
for home purposes, proportioned to the
needs of the family.
A mound of earth built up hard and
sharp around the stem of young trees
will help to protect them from mice.
The orchard may be made to serve
two purposes, one the production of
fruit and the other as a range for poul

a gate should sag if It Is properly con

material too light to be strongly pinned

order to give the braces a chance to do
their work.
AMERICA'S FUTURE.
An English Paper Bees in Us the Dom

The London Spectator takes this view
of the future of the United States:
The future of the world will depend
greatly upon the political character of
Americans. When In 1950 they ar
200,000,000, and have absorbed, as they
will absorb, the swarms of Immigrants
whose presence now make continentals
doubt except Just after a great sea
fight whether Americans are English
men, their purposes, their ideas, theit
will will be to all mankind matter of
the gravest moment. They will be abl
if much stirred to crush any singls
people, except perhaps the Slavs. To
fit the Americans for that destiny the
first necessity is that they should, be
fore they are irresistible, have difficul
ties, dependencies, complicated and
urgent relations with the remainder ol
mankind. At present everything Is too
easy to them, and they live too much
to themselves, "comparing themselves
with themselves," as the Scripture has
It, till they have no Idea of equals, and
see their own powers as well as rights
through one medium and their rivals'
through another. They thought, not
out of boastfulness, but pure inexperi
ence, that they could crush Spain and
liberate Cuba In a fortnight The
Spanish war will teach them much, bul

as how to be governed, must add to
their splendid patriotism the English
gift of cold and lofty tolerance; must

learn the lesson none have yet learned

11 Benefactress' Kind fiet.
From the Evening Hem, Detroit, Mich.
Mrs. John Tafisey, of 180 Baker
street, Detroit, Mioh., is one of those
women who always know just what to
do in all trouble and sickness. One
that is mother to those in distress. To
a reporter she said:
'I am the mother of 10 children
and have raised eight of them. Sev

with my daughter, which began when
she was about sixteen years old. She
did not have any serious illness but
seemed to gradually waste away. Hav
ing never had any consumption in our
family, as we come of good old Irish
and Scotch stock, we did not think it
was that. Our doctor called the dis
ease by an odd name which, as I after
ward learned, meant lack of blood.

daughter slowly passing away from us.

better, and after three months' treat
ment her health was so greatly im
proved you would not have recognized
her. She gained in flesh rapidly and
soon was in perfect health. The medi
cine used was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale People. I have always kept
these pills in the bouse since and have
recommended them to many people. I
have told many mothers about them
and they have affected some wonderful
cures.
"Every mother in this land should
keep these pills in the house, as they
are good for many ailments, particular
ly those arising from impoverished or
diseased blood, and weakened nerve
force."
