A girl needs to know bow to spell and punctuate s letter, besides being able to correct one that is wrong grammatically. She mnst be possessed of that rare and priceless qualification -common sense, one man be obaerrinir. and she should bare an avaraim amount of intollijrenos. No nrodlry is rwuired. As to wages, the aterage young girl cannot expect to be paid as much as the average man. It is hard to say why this is so for she is almost always Just capable. A young woman for instance will get ten or twelve dollars a wees where a young man or tne same canoe r will receive fifteen to twenty dollars. Perbsps there is an indefinable feeling anions employers that they cannot ei act so much from a woman as they can from a man. A man will be often re quired to do a great deal of miscellaneous work in connection wun snortnanu ana typewriting, which would never be im nosed on a woman. But there can be no doubt that there is still room for those who will take the trouble to properly equip themselves for the work. The remuneration is ample for the needs of the average girl, and greatly in exems of thst paid for other kinds of clerical work. Ladies' Home Journal. Famlnlna Reaeonlng-.

New York Cor. Denver Republican. Slia Writes Lore Lettere. Very few people can do what a jolly old lady who keeps a notion shop on Thompson street has succeeded in doing inspiring sufficient confidence in a large circle of ber young mule custom ers to indnce them to intrust to her Uie writing of their love letters. These young men are mostly wage earners, who toil all duy, who have borny bands but warm hearts, and who have never become well enough acquainted with the pen to give them confidence in their own ability to write nice letters to their sweethearts. These young lovers go to the little shop on Thompson streot, and in the privacy of the quaintly furnished back room give the pink cheeked, silver haired mistress of the place a general idea of what they waut to write "to de girl," Then they sit bock and play with the yellow tabby cat and listen to the scratching of the old lady's pen. In ten minutus the letter is read to the lover. If it meets with his approbation, it is sealed, addressed and posted. Then the blushing youth hands the old lady a silver quarter and goes on bis way re joicing. New York Star. Aaalhar Tlaw of a Kind of Keoaemy.

FARMANDGARDEN Some Valuable Advice on Breeding. THE WANT OF UNIFORMITY. Dr. Babeook's Communication Con cerning1 the Losses Caused by Poor Creaming. Men that take up breeding who have been for a series of years engaged 111 tin run 11 n lw.rw titiifurmit v was an indis pensable requisite are likely to wonder why tho individuals in a given breed of like flge nnd nesu are 11m ,.- ....... uliL uritna C.

From' a want of a proper understanding a in Mm ii-nxMiliir material from which the sevoinl breeds were started, as well y 1,1 tin. iwiinii nf nhvsio logical laws, they judge wrongly and expect too much. t, 'iimui. n.Muiirm we. mav add a third, viz.: that the shaping of the forms of farm animals through selections in breed ing is not ut bi-st so certain on on 11s ine Hi iiiLr of a bust from a given form or the casting of metal from a given mould I'liiti-rn tnakinir in mechanics is con aidered to reouire a skilled hand. Breed ing improved animals lias not rested upon a basis eo mil in reliability to that of the hiirher mechanics. Any mail with either cash or credit can buy, selecting from among the breeds, yet the products of his coupling may not only not show an improvement, but may show the op posite. The increase irom unwise cou pling have a like standing on paper with the liest specimens in any herd showing the same lines of descent, yet there may bo and many times is such a wide diner enco in personal merit that a single ani mal in one mail's herd may outsell two in the herd of a neighborthough bred from the same foundation. Enterprising men often take up the breeding of improved live stock for the recreation it allords.as they take tip any other recreation. Such men are quite likely to err in that they suppose that they have only to feed and couple, and that this will bring as teliahlo results as are secured from a une watch ov adjust ing Ihe regulator and winding it dully. No collection of farm animals, unless it be a collection of scrubs, will hold their their uniformity on this plan. Taste, study and a fair share of energy are nec essary to reach sill-eel's. The breeding of live stock is not a calling that you can wind un as vou would w ind an e ght-diiv clock. The physiology of breeding, while not bv any menus attended by the uniform results that chemistry is, is nev ertheless governed by rules that, when understood and closely observed, ure not necessarily ilisapK)inting. The rock on which ninny split is the giving of scant nourishment. The forms will go awry if not well nourished. aVIiis rcBtiil overtakes tro', shrub nnd cattle beast alike, all from the one cause named If we buy select seed, wo do not expect grout results if this seed be planted on thin soil. Full growth and symmetry in the case ol our farm animals comes through feed and protection, provided always that we have suitable foundation to btiild upon. LOSK.S or I'OOIt CIIEAMINO. Dr. Bubcock 111 a communication to Hoard' I'dirininn said that creaming the sumo quality of mixed milk 111 a ecu- trifugo resulted in g:vinj a skim milk that had in it .31 per cent, of fat, and that lee-cold gravity, setting in deep (Mils, gave .,1 per cent, in t!ie skim milk Ho thought it was a fair test, ns tho same milk, was used fairer than to com pure tests made by different portics with ill Hi-rent, kinds o! milks and herds. In the sumo letter he gave it as his opinion that an average of the creaming done by use of nil kinds of gravity creamers, pans, crocks, etc., resulted iii leaving fat in the skim milk of the coun try three times us much as the centrifuge work does. If this is truo and who can deny it? it follows there is a frightfully need less waste of about a half x)und of but ter from the averago creaming of the country, or ubout one-eigth of the fat really 111 common milk is turned over to the calves and pigs by those who adhere to the poorer methods of gravity cream ing. True, some of these can do no bel ter than they do; but where they con they should avail themselves of modern methods. if these things are true, it would fol low that there is scarcely a creamery man in the country in a location where a good creamery can live at nil who could not afford to gather the milk and return the skim milk for tho excess of butter he could make with a centrifuge over that tho dairy fanners could get out of the milk with their own creamers nnd churns, to say nothing about the average increased price for the butter the crean eryninn sells for over that of the great bulk of private dairymen. But the private dairyman will say to this that, as managed in too nmny cases, tho loss of feeding value on the skim milk taken to a fsctory absorbs all the gain in yield, and so there is 110 gain save the increase in priceof the creamery product. This is too true: but it need not be true if the farmer demanded his rights or the creiimerynmn had the en terprise or business sagacity to use known methods to keep the w hev and fkim milk sweet till it was taken liome and fed. It can lie done by heating to 15 as fast as the whev or skim milk runs from the factory, lint to do it coits the apparatus and time, which is money. The dairy fanners in many cases in voke upon themselves some' of the ills and losses they sutler bv seekinw tr m,i down to the lowest notch the compensa tion 01 ineir creaii.eryman or cheese maker, and so make him averse to taking more from his own Pocket in ineiirriii., the expense of the labor it takes to sse the patron's w hev or skim milk in .. good condition ns'it can be done.

Exchange. Anirrlruiia Are I'onil of Silk Lining.

Cotton, linen nnd lirilliantino aro used in this capacity by tho swellest London dress makers, wliilo one of any pretensions hero condescends to nothing more ple beian than silk for any such purpose. Asido from the acknowledged tendency of our women to extravagance, this particular ta-nte is in n measure gratified by the minimum weight of silk.
