affects the "cordiality of our manner toward
them. It insensibly lessens our confidence.
It interferes with the delicious case and
freedom of our intercourse with them. It
.color the remarks that we make about them
to others, and then re -acts with a double force
upon our own feelings and our relations to
istem. It is said of the virtuous woman,
whose price is above rubies, that the law of
kindness is ber tongue. But in order to be
in her tongue, it must first be in her heart,
and the habit of dwelling much on the im
perfections of our friends and associates will
aoon drive it from us.

cold starch, let it lie about ten minuter,
then take a dry cloth and run it first ono way
and then another, place it on the ironing

Why Hess Eat Baas. Mr. Joseph Alex
ander says the reason why hens eat eggs in
winter is because they aro dry and they eat
'vine eggs to quench their thirst. A neighbor
f-Vas troubled by his hens eating their eggs;
after he heard the explanation of Mr. Alex-
render he supplied them with water, and the
first day they drank several basinfuls. This
seemed to corrobo.-ato the theory of thirst.

Fakmkiw and IUikomatism. In answer to
the question, "Why farmers are so liable to
rheumatism?" tho Science of Health says: "If
farmers would avoid suddenly cooling tho
body after great exertiou, if they would be
careful not to go with wet clothing and wet
feet, and if they would not over-eat when in
that exhausted condition, and bathe daily,
using much friction, they would have little or
no rheumatism."

Scrap-Jar aad Work-Baiketa.
One of the most useful articles a lady can
have, is a scrap-jar to stand by her sewing
chair or writing table. Mine Is a two-gallon
pickle-jar that had been put among rubbish,
because so badly cracked as to be unfit for
holding liquids. A coat ot brown paint and
pictures brightened it up so that the once
worthless jar is now an ornament. The pic
tures are put on with wheat-flour paste, cooked
until smooth. My scrap-jar is as convenient
as an editor's "waste basket," as it saves time
and steps when there are bits of paper or
eloth to dispose of. The jar should be smaller
at the top than at tha bottom, so that tho
contents cannot be seen. When full, it can
bo emptied into tho paierrag bag, which is
usually found in country homes.

Tho now constitution adopted by voto
of tho intelligent pcoplo of California, is

both capitalists and' criminal classes to
prevent its adoption, without avail.
It prohibit? tho confinement of wit

It makes v impossible tlio escapo of no

whoro tho papor is printed, or whoro tho
libclod person resides; and novcr for tho
Bamo oflcusc in inoro than ono county.
It provonts corporations other tlian mu

roads or otlior corporations damaging
tho property of private citizens by so
constructing their roads as to impair tho
valuo of said privnto citizen's property,
unloss compensation is mado therefor.
It declares in unmistakablo languago
that no special privileges or immunities
shall bo granted winch may not bo

provides that no property qualification
shall oyer bo required for any person to

provision ofluctually closes tlio door to

support of primary and gnuiiumi schools,
latving tho support of high, normal nud
technical schools to bu provided for by
tho legislature or by municipal or dis

justico to thoso localities which cannot
avail themselves of tho highur educational
facilities, by obliging them to pay for
what thoy get. It absolutely prohibits
tho appropriation of any monoy for sec
tarian schools. It prohibits tho teach
ing of sectarian or denominational doc
trines in tho publio schools. It stops
tne contract system in prisons, by winch
particular firms have, through iwlitical
influence, been enabled to obtain con
tracts at such figures as to beat down

convicts shall bo worked for tho benefit

with tho necessary polico now-
ors to rid themselves of tho Chinese.
It gives tlio local authorities tho power
to npjsiint officers, to regulats tho inspec

tho stockholder of a corporation from

tho rights of individuals or tiio well-
being of tho State. It provonte a cor
poration from swindling its creditors, as
at prcsont is often dono, by selling its
property, such as steamboats, etc. it
prohibits corporations making a ficti
tious incrcoso of their capital stock. It
secures tho right of representation to
all shareholders in stock companies.
It absolutely places out of tho power of
tho giant milroad monopoly of tho Stato
tho carrying out of tho design to mo
nopolize tho grain handling of tho Stato,
with which object in view thoy havo se
cured a large portion of tho water front
of two cities. It requires foreign cor
porations doing business in tho Stato to
snbmit to nil tho conditions imposod
upon thoso incorporated under tho laws
of tho State. It puts a stop to tho
thieving plan now in vogue, of officers
aud directors of stock companies lotting
contracts to themselves, thereby, in most
instances, swindling tha remaining stock
holders. It prohibits the issuance of
froo passes by railroad companies to any
ono holding an oflico of trust or emolu
ment under tho Stato (excepting tho
llailroad Commissioners), and tho ac
ceptance of n pass by any suoh officer
will work a forfeiture of his office. It
creates a Railroad Commission nnd arms
it with full powors to regulato fares and
freights and prevent discrimination. It
provides a system of taxation which
will really lwar equally on all classes, by
exempting no class of property, all of
which must Imj Uxod in proportion to
its value. It exempts growing crops
from taxation, thoroby reducing tho
hazards of agricultural pursuits and
oncouraging husbandly. l provides for
tho nsscssment of "cultivated and
uncultivated land of tho same
quality, and similarly situated, at tho
sarao valuo." This will mako tho burden
of taxation fall equally on tho largo
landed proprietor nud tho owner of 160
ncrcs. It makes impossiblo tho fraudulent
trnnsfor of property to oviulo taxation.
It makes it possible to tax tho property
of tho Central l'acifio llailroad monopoly
within tho State, at something near its
valuo. Tho Stato is piobibtted from cm
I ploying Chinese labor, and thoir cm
ployment on county, municipal and
other publio works, except in punish'
mont for crime, is piohibited. It makes
nialfeasanco in officp more odious than at
present, by providing that Uwb shall bo
mado to oxcluuo from onice, serving on
juries and from tho right of suffrage, all
persons who may bo convicted of suoh a
crime. It makes eight hours a legal

DUaiter to frontier Flocks.
Tho average man finds satisfaction in say.
ing, "I told you so." In no such feeling, how
otor, does Tho Journal recall its oft-repcatod
admonition to flock-masters in tho more
favored localities to prujuru tbomsclvoa for
such extremes of woather as constitute tho
exceptions to their usually favorahlu sur
roundings. Tho gonial temperature which,
as n rulo, has so greatly ossistod tho rauch
inon of .Southern Colorado, If ow Mexico, and
Texan to lido through tha winter months,
was, luring tho winter snaaon just paused,
crowded much below its mora common limits
-entailing enduring aud death upon tho
ilocks which are forced to depend far food up
on tlio dry grassca under a covering of snow.
Many of tho reports regarding losses are
probably exaggerated, though when thu truth
is known, its repetition will iluubtlwa havo
tho cITcct of materially toning down tha
rosoata tint which, to the oyu of tha novillata
in husbandry, has so long unvoloped tho
frontier shoop walk.
This depletion ot frontier flocks will not bo
so complete n loss, if tho present disasters will
but determine thoeo who aro tho sufferers
thereby, and also thoso who may coma after
them or among them, to guard against a
recurrence of the experiences through wWch
pastoral husbandmen hare just passed.
Doubtless many of them now soe where, by
tho use of ordinary foresight, and at an
expense within reach ot tlio poorest among
them, a very large proportion of their aovero
losses might havo been avoided. Thus fore
warned, will they as hitherto be found unpre
