HARY/MTIPti. —Wort is not all that
claims attention from us at this season.
Our personal comfort and health deserve
some thought, and indeed, the are a
first requisite to • proper condition for
work. The heat and sweat of the har-
vest field may be greatly moderated by a
little management. Very little water
should be drank; excessive drinking
cause& excesaive prespimtion, and this
causes thirst, and thirst encourages
drinking. H one merely wiiiihes the
mouth with oold water, and sips a mix -
tux. of water, oatmeal or a small quan-
tity of vinegar or lemon juice, the usual
profuse perepiration will be avoided, and
the thirst will diaappear.
PittYricT THE HsAii. --The sun's heat
ia most injurious when it strikes the
head and the back of the neck. To pro-
tect these, fasten a white handkerchief
or a square of white muslin on to the
hat, so that it falls over the back part of
the brim and hangs hourly. This keeps
up a movement ef the air around the
head, mut shades it front the sun'. rays.
Cum) WArza.--Cold water is injuri-
ous when drunk too copiously. It is
quickly absorbed into the blood, and
cools it too rapidly, often producing
chill, and sometimes paralysis of the
heart, and sudden death. This is mis-
taken sometimes for sunstroke, or con-
gestion of the brain, which rarely
happens to a healthy man, or, except
through some imprudence. The blood
may be cooled very rapidly by pouring
cold water on the wrists, but this should
be done cautiously, for fear of too sudden
cooling and a reaction to a state of fever.
CALM Or ANIMAL& —Animals are sub -
lice to the same sanitary laws as man-
kind. What is bad for ourselves is bad
for our horses or cows, and we should
exercise reasonable precautions in our
care of stock at this season of the year.
Corms° GLAIR—Opinions differ as to
the precise time for cutting grain. But
there is no difference of opinion its re-
gards the loss by permitting groin to get
over ripe before it is cut The best time
to cut any grain is when the grain is still
soft. As soon as the straw is yellow be-
low the ear, no more substance is taken
from the soil; but yet it will not do to
out the grain u soon as this occurs. Be-
cause the sap of the straw is being con-
verted into the starch of the grain, and
the berry is filling, the straw should not
be too suddenly dried, lest this process
be stopped before it is complete. The
time for cutting depends upon the wea-
ther somewhat, and some judgment must
be exercised for each special cue. For
years we have cut wheat, rye and oats as
soon as the grain was sold enough to rub
out in the hands from the chaff, and be-
fore it was too hard to be easily crushed
with the thumb nail If cut earlier it
shrinks. end if it is cut later it shells.
Form° LP Gleam. —It is safe to put
up the shocks as though a storm was ex-
pected. Then if min comes no damage
is done. A se* of stout tarred twine
bands cost less than the straw bands.
A pound of wheat is worth two cents,
and many a pound is lost in binding an
acre of grain with the straw. The twine
bands will last many years if taken care
of. and will serve for binding the wheat,
mit, and corn crops.

Light Brown Bread. —MU together
three cupfuls of rye meal, not rye dour,
two of ludian meal, one of molasses, one
teaspoonful of salt,cnd four cups of
intik; sour milk gutty bused, with the
addition of two level teaspoonful* of
seas dissolved in it, and it makes better
bread than sweet milk. Best these in
grectienta to e smooth batter, pour it
into*, buttered covered mould or tin
pail, set in • pot containing enough bod-
ing water to reach half way up the side
of the mould, and stern it for st least
two hours; then unoover the mould, and
bake it for half or three-quarters of an
hour in a moderate Oven, the bread is
dos when the top and sides are light.
To Settle Coffee. —To settle coffee
without eggs, put the ground coffee —
t wo tablespoonfuls or more, acoording
to the size of the family—to soak over
night in a teacup of water. In the
morning add more water and put it on
to boil, boiling fifteen or twenty minu-
test then fill in what water is neceseary
and put the coffee-pot on the stove.
in fifteen minutes it will be as clear as
amber.
Queen's Cake. —Take one pound of
sifted sugar, one pound of flour, one
pound of dour, one pound of currants
(washed and picked), flavor with nut-
meg, mace and cinnamon (as preferred),
beat the whites of the eggs for twenty
minutes, work the butter to a cream,
add the sugar and mix all. Then beat
the yolks for half an hour and put them
to the butter. Beat all together and
then add the currants, flour and spices.
Sprinkle with sugar when placed in the
little tin pans for baking.
There is nothing better for a cut than
powdered rosin. Get a few cents' worth
of rosin, pound it untilit is fine and put.
it in an empty, clean pepper or spice box
with perforated top; then you can easily
sift it out on the cut, put • Doh cloth
around the injured member and wet it
with cold water once in • while. It will
prevent inflammation and soreness. In
doing up a burn the main point is to
keep the air from it. If sweet oil and
ootton ars not at hand, take a cloth and
spread dry flour over it, and wrap the
burned part in it. It is always well to
have some simple reinedies in the hoino
where you can get them without a mo-
aien's lose of time; a little bottle of pep-
perment, in case of oohs, chlorate of
potash for'sore throat, pepsin for indi-
gestion and a bottle of brandy.
Do nut iron a red tablecloth at all;
wish it carefully in warm suds (not hot),
rinse well and when ready to hang on
the line take great pains to pull it so
that it will keep the proper shape. It
will retain its color much longer than if
ironed.
One use to make of a colored table-
cloth which is too much faded to look
well on the table, is to turn it into a
crumbcloth. Starch it as stiff as possi-
ble, iron it nicely, keeping the edges
stmight. Instead of tacking it to the
carpet, pin it in place; then it will be
little trouble to take it up when it needs
washing; it will keep clean a long time.
It is a good thing to know this, even if
you have a handsome crumhcloth, as
this can be put down when that has to
he taken up and cleaned.

who was a member of the House of Com-

his philippics against Sir Robert Peel,
remonstrated with him after one of his
fiercest attacks, "You are overdoing

showing your animosity so openly."
"My animosity !" exclaimed Mr.
Disraeli. "I admire Peel more than
any man living; but he slighted me, and
it is neceessary to my position to prove
that I cannot be slighted with impunity.

If oats are to be eared for seed, it is best
to wait until they ripen before cutting.
If the straw and leaves aro to be used

are in the dough state and while the
leaves and steins are still green. Oat
straw so harvested is thought to be very
much more nutritious than corn fodder,
and nearly equal to Timothy. Many,
indeed, cut and house oats the same as
hay, and believe it to be fully as
valuable.

dwelt in a certain Boston street two
families which, although near neighbors,
had no neighborly acquaintance. This
grew out of the fact that while the head
of one house—let us call him Jones—
was of somewhat low condition, the
other, whom we shall style Pedigree,
was upper crust, a regular patrician.
It rather troubled the Jones family to
have the Pedigrees treat them wolf they
did not exist; but they managed to wor-
ry along. and in due time the Jones
boys grew to be men and entered upon
