pare the pale, wearied look of our teach

ness of servant girls and laborers, w
should be convineect that the centrar
is the truth. Bat it is thought to be s
much more dignified to work with th
mind than with the hands that no On
who can do the one will think of doing
the other.
We are told that all our cities are
• crowded. while farm hands can scarcely
be obtained. The professions are all
full and running over. To ineretise the
'demand, physidans divide themselves
iuto some half a dozen different schools
—little:pills and big pills, !cold. water and
hot water, herbs and physic. Lawyers
are dissolving into "claim agents" and
"land agents." and a score of other
" agencies"- whereby theymay create a
case and pocket a fee. To employ the
constantly increasing surplus of "brain,"
manufacturers and- publishers are send-
ing agents and canvassers all over the
country peddling books and maps and
pictures, hair dyes and. lightning rods.
Every school committee is overran with
applications, while a -competent girl to
do housework is sought for as for
" hid treasures." I was on a city school
board several years,,and for every va-
cancy there was an average of six appli-
cants. A poor woman called on me one
day, desiring to find a place to do house-
work. I orily named the fact to a few
friends, and yet there were three urgent
applications for her services before the
next night. A clerk left one of our
naercantile establishments on the three
o'clock train. Before sundown eighteen
applicants appeared for the vacancy.lu
A work fell from the scaffolding of
a new building about the same time and
disabled- himaelf. The contractors had
to search the -whole town to find a man
to fill his place. Every town in the
eauntry is full of young men—candidates
for clerkships—lying round idle, " wait-
ing for something to turn up." That is
they are waiting for somebody to the or
resign that they may " put into a
clerk's office and. be able to eat a piece of
bread." On the other hand alrnostever
kind of manual labor is at a premiiim.

ye. Inoculation With Bee Poison.
pg Mr, G. Walker in the British Bee
Journal opens up, says the Academy,
the interesting question as to whether
immunity from the pein and other in-
jurious effects of the sting of the bee can
be obtained by inoculation. Visiting
the Hanwell apiary, he was struck with
the mole in which the owner managed.
'hiis bees,. arid asked him .the length of
time necessary to render a person sting -
proof. The reply was, that the son had
only been a short time Working with the
bees, and that he was quite free from the
usual effects of bee stings. Mr. Walker
made the experimene upon himself'his
modus operandi being to catch a bee,
place it upon his wrist, and allow it to
sting him, taking care that he received
the largest amount of :poison by prevent-
ing the bee from going away at once.
The first day .he stung himself twice.
The effect was rather severe cutaneous
erysipelas, disorder of the motor nerve,
with the usual signs of inflammation.
A few days having elapsed, and the
symptoms having subsided, he caused
-himself to be stung again three times in
quick succession. The attack of ery-
sipelas on this occasion was not nearly so
severe, and a lyniphatic gland behind his
ear increased considerably in size, the
the poison being taken up by the lym-
phatic system. A few days subsequent-
ly he was stung thrice, and the pain was
considerably less though the swelling
was ,still extensive. At the end of -the
next week he had received eighteen th
stings, and. by e close of the third
week thirty-two stings. After the
twentieth sting there was very little
swelling or pain, only a slight itching
sensation with a small amount of inflam-
mation in the immediate neighborhood
of the part stung. which did not spread.
further. • It would be interesting to learn
how loag the immunity thus obtained is
likely to last. •

Indoor Culture of Tomatoes.
The London Gctrdener's Chronicle de-
scribes a method of raising tomatoes
within doers which it says has been suc-
• cessful, and is worthy of general adop-
tion. The seed is sown about Christnias,
and by the first week in March the plants
.areset out against the back -wall of some
of the lean-to vineries, in a good com-
post, with ample root -room. Fiera they
make a rapid and vigorous growth, and
in the course of the season attain to a
height of from ten to twelve feet, and
prodnce successional crepe of fruit with
greet profusion until past Christmas. .In
this manner early and late ton.atoes are
obtained- from the same plants. As a
matter of course the plants can hardly
be kept too moist, and a good dressing
of crushed, bones is occasionally given.
The border in which the tomatoes . are
planted is only about fifteen inehes in
width. The plants must, be well fed,
but the wonderful crops they bear is the
best testimony to the advantage of a
liberal treatment. The weight of fruit
obtained from one plant in a season is
somethingn
reta.rkabled m
t, and of
them attain a great size,
Snap Cure for l3alkY Horse.
• My former treatment, when a horse
balked, was to take a piece of board or a
barrel stave and go at him as if I intend-
ed to kill, yet it would not mar or injure,
but would scare hiin so that he would go.
But this treatment would failitometimes,
and it was always very unpleasant.
Three years ago T bought a three-year-
old mare of a neighbor, with*. 'a recdrn-
mend that she was "sound and. trne."
One Sundak morning I hitched her to a
buggy to visit a patient, but was sur-
prised to find her balky. I Whipped her
Land forced her to go, but the defect grew
upon her until she would stand a severe
fleecing. Last summer I made up my
mind that I never would beat her again;
that she was too nice a beast • to be
whipped, and that there must be some
other plan. 1 was on my way tou bleak -
smith shop to have some kind of a snap
made to snap in the nose to lead her
with, but in stopping in a hardware store
I saw a snap that suited me, and,upon
inquiry found it to be a cattle snap to
lead vicious cattle. This was just what
I wanted. I tied to it a few feet of cord
and threw it in my buggy, and the first
time she stoppedgot out and' snapped
itin herenose, an4 pulled on the cord in
front of her. Of course she settled back,
but finding she cold not pull much that
way began to walk up. I led her around
a little and tied one end of the cord to
the harness anct got in, and findingliber
disposed to go all righ t removed the snap,
and never had to apply it but once there-
after, and now she has no disposition to
vent a nose piece. I think the most
-vicious horse can. be handlrd with the
nap, and it does no injury.; but the
nap should. I believe, be made about
ne-thircl larger than the common. snap.

the mete make a good substitute for
early pasture. It promotes the flow of
thilk m the ewes, keeps them in good
heart and with fine appetites. I have
always aimed to keep all my animals
healthy and thriving. If they once go

feed is thrown away. Two-thirds of my
ewes usually have twins. With lambs
at eight dollars to nine dollars each, and
wool at fiftSr cents per pound, your
readers °an figure up my profits on 100
ewes.
I will dose with one remark : • that
without a root crop of about -1,000 bush-
els, I would not keep sheep. Not that
these are all fed to the sheep, as cows and
horses are all benefitted by them, but for
sheep they are indispensable.
