"My headaches aches an' I want dwink," quaintly complained little Lill Stuart, flinging herself across her mot nee lap and lying there, a relaxed figu -with head hanging over, half -shut ey and down -dropping arms. Mrs. Stua felt of the chiid's head and hands, te derly raised her and laid her on the sof then left the room and returned with cooling drink. She seems feverish and I think will send for the doctor," said sh turning to her husband's mother. "Yes, send for the doctor -man moaned Lille, hanging on her mothe hand. "Yea, send for the doctor --that's a ways the cry," sniffed Grandmoth Stuart. "When I was young, we liv twenty miles from a doctor; they didn grow on every corner then; and n mother carried eleven children throng the measels, whooping -cough, scanl fever, mumps, chicken -pox and Oro distemper without a soul to help her." "She must have been a very oapab woman," absently remarked Mrs. Stua feeling for Lilla's phlee. "Here's my 'nether pulse; feel th too," said Lillis, offering her othe hand. " Well, she was," admitted gran mother, "and that's the kind of woma they raised then; capable, resolute wom en who could do anything from breakin A steer to making a white shirt all b hand." At any rate, I can give her som aconite," said Mrs. Stuart, going to he homeopathic chest and searching &MOD the 'Ws of snowy pellets for the remed indicated. "Better give her a bowl of Benne te and put her to bed to sleep it off." But Mrs. Stuart was already at Lille' side. To her astonishment, the ohil refused to take the aconite. In a mom ent her refusal was explained; he gasp ed once or twice, retched, and he stomach was relieved of a mass o undigested food. Pale and quiet afte this effort, Lilla laid in her mother' arms, and grandmother posed on while Mrs. Stuart rocked gently an silently: "Nov we didn't know anythin about aconite; and if we'd had anything -of those little white pills we should hay thought we must take a cupful of them to get any good out of them. But my mother, and all the neighbors like her knew every herb and root that grows in the, ground, always had a supply on hand, on the top shelf in the kitchen closet or hanging in the attic; and as soon as the supply/ gave out, it was re- .nevved, for fear it should be needed when it couldn't be get hold of. There was sage and wormwood and thoroughwort, inugwort, motherwort, aenna, trailing arbutus, older bark, colt's foot, cham- omile, hope, catnip and hardback, flag - root -my! such lots of them -mother knew them all and what they were good for. But, after all, it wasn't so much the medicine in those days as it Was the nursing. When we were children, it W&8 first one thing and then another with us, so it seemed as if there was alwaYsone sick. Well, that sick one was always taken into mother's room, not into her bed -no! She said that if there was one person in the world who needed to sleep alone, it was a sick per- son. Father used to bring down a small bed -from the attic and set it up right side of mother's, and then mother made it up with clean bedding and on top she spread a patchwork quilt that never went on any other bed. When I was getting well from the , chicken -pox, she sat aide of me afternoons with her knit- ting and told the story of the different squares of calico. There was a piece of gingham from the dress Aunt Mari' was married in-" "Gingham !" said Mrs. Stuart. "Why, yes !" A gingham dress in those days was a pretty good dress. Then there were some pieces of a calico I could retnember mother wearing. I called , it her 'thunder and lightning dress,' because it had a very dark ground with some jagged streaks of white across. And there was a blue piece with white egg-shaped figures in it; my sister that died had a dress like that -and so en; mother knew where every piece came from, and she was very patient and answered all my questions about themi and told me things about the people who gave her the scraps of calico that I remembered to this day. When 1 wae getting well, I used to want the other children to come in and see me in my little bed, but mother said anybody that was sick enough to lie abed was too sick to have company, so I usually didn't see them till I was well enough to have my clothes on and sit up in the big rooking-chair, with a blanket in it or a comforter. The first day I could sit up was generally a sort of a quiet feativel ; mother wouldn't let the other children tunap round and benoisy, but sheh let them -one at a time -show me- any little things they had accumulated- since I Was sick, and tellme what had hap - peed at school or et the neighbors. Mother had a knack of getting round a bed without hitting it or jarring it. and she never, never sat down on it. Most all the folks in those times used to think you must keep a sick room dark and warm. Mother didn't. She said fever heat was bad enough without out- side hoot, and all she had was a small wood fire, kept evenly burning day and night. And as to darkness, she said derk rooms made folks melancholy, and she needed to have her spirits kept 'up, if nobody else did. Of course that -didn't apply where there was danger of injuring the eyesight, as in measele or scarlet fever or such. But even then she said it was better to let the warm Bun stream into the room and bandage the weak eyes lightly, because the sun Is the life -giver and strenthens and sweetens everything it touches. pa theee days, wheu you were sick, you neig-ht be ever so thirsty, and nobody would give you a cup of cold water for Jove nor money. They thought it wasn't good for you. Well, now I shall _Al- ways think my mother was ahead of her times; for I never remember her saying -"no' wheir I wanted a drink. All the rest would offer you weak tea or gruel or something, but if you said 'water' to mother, water it was. And isn't it 'strange that nothing else would quench your thirst t " There is a whole temperance lecture in that one little fact that only ,clear water will assuage thirst, while alco- holics produce and increase it," said Mrs. Stuart, changing the sleeping Lilla from one arm to the other. "Yea, there is," assented grandmoth- ten. She remained silent for a moment, a a re rt es rt P- a, a e, r's 1- er ed f t et at le rt at 0.d - a r, a then took up the thread of her thoughts where she had dropped it she loied to talk of the wholesome, heartsome,I effici- ent mother who had fought thei3 good fight and laid down her arms mor than fifty years ago, but whoalloyed and moved in a loving dau hter's memory. "Now mother's cooking; it wan good at all times; one of my brothers talked till the day of his death about mother's johnny-cake ; but it was in times of sicknese she excelled. And she didn't have a.tity market to go to, either, for ic little b rda, find all kinds of foreign fruit, ad jellies, and vegetables rown under glass. We had to do without those t ings. 'But mother would go to the appie-bin and pick out a great juicy apple ;1then she would roast it just, right -it would fairly burst with good - nese; then sift on a little sugar,then dip over it Some thick yellow cream ; it was fit for al queen. And mother's gruel. Most folks hate gruel ; but I love it, if it is made as it ought to be with good, sweet meal, boiled plenty long enough till it is well cooked and quite thick, then salted and thinned with rich milk till it is right to drink. Sometimes mother need to fry chicken with pork and poui cream sauce over it; that was when we were getting pretty strong and hearty a d had a coming appetite." "]'or is rather difficult to digest, even for well person," said Mrs.Stuart, with a s ile. i "Yes, your pork," contemptuously sniffed t e plain-spoken old lady. " But father's ogs were treated as well as his horses and osttle. Their pen was on the bank of ti running stream, and was kept clean, with clean bedtling often renew- ed; and their food Wits clean and they were clea critters themselves; and they made the finest, nicest pork, sweet as a nut. All the neighbors used to Come round killing -time, in hopes father would let them have a side of pork; and he genera ly did, as far as it 'wouldgo. Now mother's chicken and pork. -"i Here Lilla opened her eyes, yawned, stretchedlittle and slid out of her mother's ap. I "Is it orning Mine ?" said she. ii feel bettee now.

A calico drees and contentment are much mohe to be desired than a fine silk one germ- tured with scandal. Don't complain to the man to whorn you are engaged, of the different mem- bers of your own family; it is not a good preface to matrimonial blies. Don't write silly letters to him, even if he is fond of affection given in that way. Let it be by word of mouth, rather than with pen and ink, Don't expect him to.love you as no man has ever loved before; the methods of loving are very much the same all t 'e Iworld over. Be satiafied if you have g t a gopd, honest love. Don't believe" that he is a combination in beauty of all the ancient gods, of all the gallant knightsand of all the great statesmen; but conclude that he is a gentleman, and that should be your ideal.. Don't believe that he is thinking of you every hour of his life. He is not ; be satisfied if he is working away, with every now and then giving a thought to the girl for whom he is making, a home over which he expects her to preside as a loving, thoughtful wife. • System in Farm Management. BY J. F. KELLER IN OHIO FARMER. As the years pass and we progress in education, scieuce, art, etc., there must be corresponding approach toward per- fection in the creative occupations - manufactures and agriculture. To do this system must be employed. Coin. petition has become very fierce, so muoh SO that he who can produce cheapest is the successful one, and he only. I do not say all others are compelled to make assignments, but he who steadily &MIER- nlatee must apply all the items of ad- vantage in cheap production. Producing a marketable article chely is equivalent to selling the article t le a good price, and as we cannot now (arid probably will never again) obtain the good prices of yore, our- only teeeeese js in cheap production, But what has system to do with cheap production? Ver Y much. The successful manufac- turer adops a carefully prepared system, so that the cost of the finished article, may be lessened by getting & greater amount of work from a -given amount of labor. In the production of b. simple article the same passes through many hands, one workman, perhaps, giving only a alight stroke, then passing to the next, and so on. When at last the crude material cornea out a finished pro- duct, time and labor have been econo- mized and a superior article has been produced, at a comperatively lessened cost. This is the reault of system. Some say systemis very good for other occupations but it is not practiced in our management of the farm. It is jug as practicable and just as indispens- able cm the farm as anywhere else. Everything has its drawbacks. Our system may be interfered with at tithes (by conditions over which we have no control), yet this is no fault of system, nor does it make it any the less valu- able.' Nature comes to our assistance in reducing our farm management to a system. In stock building we have a universal law that like begete like,rip with the application of intelligent, 8 s- tematic breeding, the cattleman is !al- most sure of producing a show aninial, or the horseman a trotter; whereas, he - fore the use of a superior ;system i of breeding, a show animal was' the excep- tion and the production of the trotter a game of chance. Then in the growing of our crops we are not compelled to care for them all at the same time. This would result in confusion -and neglect. First, in March, we break the soil for corn and oats. April, seeding oats, and preparation of soil for corn. May, planting corn. - Then a breathing !spell which we may attend to all odd jobs that the rush of work has prevented giving earlier at- tention Then comes the cultivation of corn and making of clover hay for June, then the harvest of wheat, mita and timothy hay for July.; August, odd jobs again, and breaking soil and top- dreseieg for wheat, September, harvest- ing corn, sowing wheat, gathering win- ter fruit. October and November, husking corn, stacking fodder, prepara- tion for winter, by - leiter of cleaning yards for stock ; haulibg manure, re- pair of stables, feeding racks, etc., classing the stock for Winter feeding, &c. ,December, Januity, February, caring for stock' and the working up of the by-products of the farm into a first ' class fertilizer, by feeding same to high- class attack, thereby obtaining a revenue from two sources -sale of stock, and from the most valuable crop of the farm, barn -yard manure. Now the farmer that applies system to hia farm management is not idle half of the year, as some are, but prosecutes his busineas as profitably in winter as in summer, Idle hairdo are the devil's workshop, and thelarmer who in wipter is not employed puts in his time grumb- ling at the weather, complaining of hard times,Ur in going to town to talk a cheap class of. politics. I once knew 'a man who would work hard for an hour or two in the morning, then hitch bia team to the fence, place the seat of his pants onthe top rail, and wait for Rome one to come along, so that be could have assistance in giving vent to his indigna- tion over the oppression of the people by reason of excessive taxation, the re - Bruit of bad financial management in the administration of public affairs. It is needless to add that this same man was non-taxable. He used no system in his farm management. Did Not Disobey. "Thomas,you have disobeyed your old andfather. "No, I didn't, ma." "Ye, you did. Have you not been swimming ?" "Yea, ma." "Didn't I hear him say to you not to o in swimming ?" "Oh, he didn't tell WI that; he only me out and said Boys, I wouldn't o in swimming,' and I shouldn't think e would, an old rheumaticky man like him, but he didn't say nothin about our g ing in swimming." ow to Dress for a Photograph. If you are short and stout don't ask t e poor artist to make a picture of you 11 length. He will if you insist, but knows he is doing a great wrong ereby. Nothing is so graceful and easing in a picture of a stout lady as a f h t p sitting at half length, the figure to turn - e' as to hide the too too stoutness. A aint if you are slim and angular, d not for an instant forget that a _full - le gth figure will make you appear more el m and angular. Then the pretty bust is your hope, and you should insist on h a ing none other. If a gentleman has a ery long neck -n� matter how nicely h looks in a high collar, his picture if ta lp in such a high affair would look gr tesque. A short neck and high cel- la , and long neck and low turned -down co lar by all means. No long stripes, no gr at checks, no striking figures should be worn in a photograph. One thing be r in mind when yen visit the studio -iring along you home expression. Dol 't upend two days before you dome to he studio practising poses and differ - en expressions before your mirror and, las ly, give the photographer the benefit of xercising his artistic and profes 'ion - al biljty.-[Exchange.
