CuriOsities Of Wooiug.

In olden times it was the fashion for q
suitor to 60 down on his knees to a lady
when he asked her to become his wife
which. with very stout gentlemen, was an
uncomfortable proceeding. The way in
which Daniel Webster proposed to Miss
Fletcher was more modern, being at the
same time neat and poetic. Like many
other lovers, he was caught holding 1
skein of thread or wool which the lady
had been unravelling. "Gracie," said he
'' we have been untyng knots Let US see
if we cannot tie one which will not unite
in lifetime" With a piece of tape he
fashioned half a true lovers knot, Miss
Fletcher perfected it, and a kiss put the
seal to the symbolical bargain.
Most men when they pop by writing
are more straightforward and matter of
fact. Richard Steele wrote to the lady OF
his heart -'Dear Mrs. Scurlock, (there
were no misses in those days,) am tired
OF calling you by that name; therefore,
say day when you will take that Of
madame our devoted, humble suitor,

cordingly and Steeled her name instead

William Grimes, were exceedingly attach
ed to each other, and had no desire to be
married But it was thought proper by
their friends that one of them should be
come husband, and Jacob being the eld-
er, it was agreed that he should be the one
to enter the bonds of matrimony. A suit
able lady was found, but Jacob declined
to do the courting, requesting William to
act as his agent William consented but
soon found he was in love, and wanted
the lady himself He could not think,
however, of depriving his brother Of such
treasure, and knew not how to act An
aunt kindly delivered him of his difficulty
by telling Jacob, who willingly resigned
the damsel to his brother, and went out of
the way, until she had been made Mrs
William Grimes.
A Scotch beadle was the one who pop
ped the question in the grimmest manner.
He took his sweetheart into the graveyard
and showing her dark corner, said,-

like to lie there, Mary ?" Mary was
sensible lassie, and expressed her willing
ness to obtain the right to be buried near
the beadle's relations by uniting herself
to him in wedlock.
A similar unromantic view of the sub
iect was taken by another maiden. Upon
her lover remarking, /" think I'll marry

Poultry Feeding in Winter.

capable Of carrying a surplus OF fat, can

also furnished a good lot of scraps for

thrown together into a large iron kettle

the meat all drops from the bones. The

KISSING IN CHINA 1t is a singular fact
that the custom of kissing is altogether
unknown in China The Chinese indeed,
have no word or term expressing love as
we understand the tender passion. An
American navy officer voyaging China
wards narrates an amusing experience of
the Chinese maidens of the science OF kiss
ing Wishing to complete conquest he
had made of a young mel jim beautiful
LADY, he invited her-using the English
words-to give him a kiss. Finding her
comprehension of his request somewhat
obscure, he suited the action to the word
and took a delicious kiss. The girl ran
away into another room, thoroughly alarm
ed, exclaiming, Terrible man-eater l
shall be dcyoured" But in moment,
finding herself uninjured by the salute.
she returned to his side. saying II would
like to learn more of your strange rite,
ke-e-es me.'' He knew it wasn't right,
but he kept on instructlng her in the rite
of "ke-e-es me- until she knew how TO 40
it like native Yankee girl; and, alter all
that, she suggested second course oy re-
marking, "Ke-e-es me more seen Jsa Nee

lesson went on until her mammals voice
rudely awakened them from their deli
cious dream.

THE TORPEDO. During the discussion
on Mr. Rdrnaby's paper, at the recent
meeting of the British Institution of Naval
Architects, Admiral Lord Dauderdale re-
marked that since the torpedo system had
been so much improved we need not be
afraid of our harbors, for the torpedo
would take care of them. The Ameri-
cans, with that aptitude tor mechanical
invention for which they are distinguished,
have developed both torpedo attack and
defense to very high pitch; yet Admiral
Porter, the very able head of the Ameri-
can fleet, in his annual report to the Secre-
tary of War, lately published, asserts that
no towing, diving, or swimming torpedo
yet invented is match for smart vessel
properly armed with her crew at her guns
The Harvey and fish torpedoes can only,
he adds. be used successfully against ships
taken by surprise, lying at anchor. Still,
both authorities we have quoted may be
right, tor the American admiral evidently
contemplates an engagement on the high
seas. and the other probably the defense
of harbor against bombarding squad
ron Yet there even might, in the con-
fusion and smoke of a sea-fght, be ample
opportunity for launching these tormida-
Bile missiles against vessel hotly engaged.
1t is satisfactory, at all events, to know
that the subject is engaging the close at
tention of our own naval department; so
that. when the occasion arrives, we shall
not be found unprepared.

Farm, Garden and Household,


Dumb brutes have everything to learn
They are nearly as capable of approaching
kind words and gentle treatment as many
the human species. Many persons are dis
posed to think that if Il young horse or an
OK does not obey the commands OF his
driver he is obstinate or peryerse and must
be lashed But the truth is, animals do
mot understand what is wanted of them.
All! domestic animals should be made
familiar with, and encouraged to form
sort oi affection for the confidence in their
owners and managers This can easily be
brought about, especially if commenced
when they are young and persevered in by
caressing and talking to them in a mild,
pleasant voice, and showing mild. famil-
iar ana pleasing expression of the counte-
nance. and especially Of the eye.
Few seem to understand or realize the
great effect the expression Of the eve and
the tone OF the voice have on domestic an
imals. AXE the horse tor instance Few

1t has been found by experiments that
in feeding cows with abundance OF roots

though abundant, was deficient in butter.
Corn-meal, wheat-meal, and cotton seed
meal, variously mixed afford good food
for cows.

Sulphur for Fowls.

There is no remedy and assistant SO
easily and cheaply obtained, so harmless
to the fowls, nor satisfactory in its results,
as sulphur. 1t being in the system OF ami
mails to small degree, there is greater
affinity for it than there otherwise would
be. 1t can be administered to the fowls
by having il in small box, SO that they
can help themselves, or by mixing it with
their TODD once week, as often as there
are indications of vermin. Penetrating, as
1t does, to every part of the system, all
parasites are quickly and surely destroyed
Also gapes are said 10 be prevented in
| chickens. Fowls need it more than the
most animals, their feathers containing be-
tween four and five per cent of sulphur.
Their eggs also have a small quantity,
which is noticed by the dscooring of a
silver spoon when it comes in contact with
boiled egg. Applied externally to the
fowls when on the nest, to the nest itself,
OF mixed with the soil in the dusting box,
it is equally efficacicus in destroying ver-

A New GRASS After General Sherman
made his march to the sea, all in the wide
track OF waste and desolation that he made
with the tramp of his tootmen and the
IRON feet OF his cavalry, there sprung up
a new and unknown grass from the soil,
which the farmers called Sherman clover"
1t would grow up in the most unexpected
places, and it is said would root out Ber-
muda grass and, as a strange similarity,
we now hear that after the ranco-Prussian
war of 1901, in many districts Of France
a new vegetation sprang up, evidently the
result of the invasion. 1t was believed
that this vegetation would become accli-
matized, but very few of the species in
troduced in this way appear likely to CON
tinue to flourish. In the Departments OF
Lor and Loir- Cher, of one hundred and
siNty-three German species, at least one
half have already disappeared, and the
surviving species diminish in vigor each
year Scarcely five or six species appear
to manifest any tendency to become ac-
climatiZed. Can any Of our naturalists
account for it? Savannah Advertiser.
The grasshopper plague at the west is

largely upon the grasshoppers and their
eggs.

Gods Waiting.
BY JEAN INGELOW,

Grand is the leisure of the earth:
She gives her happy myriads birth,
And after harvest fears not dearth,
But goes to sleep in snow-wreaths dim.
Dread is the leisure up above,
The while He sits whose name is Love,
And waits, as Noah did the dove,
TO see if she would fly to him.
He waits for us, while, houseless things,
We beat about with bruised wings
On the dark floods and water springs,
The ruined world, the desolated sea-
With open windows from the prime,
All night, all day, He waits sublime,
Until the fullness of the time
Decreed from His eternity
