The Chinese Nec- Yedr-Ttis not the
first day of January, nor January at
all. but the sixth day of F-br uary that
ushers in tine Chinese New Year. The
grandr-t festival in all the cal-nd ir !;
AZ think the Celesti ,ls; and thew c-le-
brate it with the most imposing cere-
monies. Not man, woman or child
that tl@s not take part in its festivi-
ties Neither the infant of days nor the
man Of century. the millionaire nor
the beYgar-nOue may be excused from
d"nning his best, and guiDg out holi-
dayiny on New Year. From the En-
peror in his gorgeous palace, surrOun-
ded with pOu,p and luxury. down to his
huml,Iest subject, living and rearing
his family perhaps in q boat. where
kitchen, laundry, nursery and bedroom
all are encompassed within the narrow
limits of q space of about twelve feet
square-every one, according to his rank
aud ability, enters with heart and hand
into the, festivities of the season. All
business is suspended. and for three
days at least, mirth, jOllity and feast
ing rule the realm. while sOme of the
wealthy keep up, for q much longer
time, the routine of Rayeties. All who
can possibly procure it don on New
Years Morn an entire new suit, no ar
ticle of which has ever been worn be-
fore; but even the poor are sure to be
arrayed in at least one new garment-a
cheap hat, fan or handkerchief, if no
thing more costly can be affOrded.-S.

as much Alike as Antsin A HiH.-I
dOn't know what the ,dy was talking
about. | merely heard the above re-
mark as she was passing through my
wood. Ha! ha! thought | to myself,
why, there Is "a much difference be-
tween ants as between people I'll tell
you how | know it: The little school
ma'am has turn for experiments, and
I've SEEN fer make one Or two on this
very point. One day she picked up
several ants from one ant-hill and car
ried them to another ant-hill, where
there appeared to he thousands of in
tabitants all looking just like the new
cOmers. But il seems the ants cOuld
see the difference, for the unfortunate
strangers were recognized as intruder>,
and were instantly set upon and killed.
Another time the little lady tOok
some ants from q large hill, and shut
them up in a hottie with some very Ill
smelling stuff called asafetida. The
next day she r.turned, bringing the
bottle with the imprisoned ants. OF
course the poor things smelled very
strongly of the as ,fRtida. and theii
nearest relations could hardly IN
blamed for refusing To know them. So
felt quite frightened for their sakcs
when the scoolma'am returned them to
their home. But no. Though they
were at first threatened by their fel :
lows, they were sOOn recognized aud
allowed to pass. Blood" WIS stronger
than asaf9tida.-St. Nicholas.

Keen the Feet Warm.

Never 90 10 bed with cold feet.
Never try to sleep without being per-
fectly certain that you will be able to
keep them warm. To lie one night
with cold feet gives such a strain TO
the system as will be felt seriously,
perhaps ending in fiji Of sickness.
Cold feet show an unbalanced circula-
,ion. The very best thing to do is 10
warm them by exercise, if that be
practicable. If not, try dipping them
in hot and cold water alternately two
or three times, and then using yigor-
Gus friction. If that does not warm
them and keep them warm, heat
before the fire, drying them lhroughly
and then correct your habits or i'm
prove your health for be sure one OF
the other is wrong, perhaps both.
With all the rest, if you sleep on a
hard bed, with cotton sheets, in a
cold room, put on an extra covering
over the feet. 1t is very convenient to
have a foot comfort" just wide
enough to cover the top of the bed
and about yard deep. This may
be made of some light material (per-
haps the remains of some pretty
dress), filled with cotton, like CON-
ior,abIe,' and tackled with some har-
monious color. During the day this
may be thrown over the foot>board
and spread over the bed at night.
The advantage of this is to secure
light covering for the feet without
overburdeniDg the remainder of the
body.
If you use hot brick or hot iron
put it in the bed a little beforehand,
aud then when retiring remove it. To
sleep with the feet In contact with ii
has a tendency to make the feet tender.
But better than both these, and 10
be used with or without them, is the
foot blanket. This NAV be a square
yard of domestic flannel, or two yards
folded of Swiss flannel, or anything
else you like that is warm enough.
only have it nice and clean. Fold
This around your feet and ankles be.
fore you put them down i'll the bed. II
not very cold, this will often warm
them, especially if you have used
friction and if warm, it will prevent
their becoming cold by contact with
the cold sheets. 1t keeps the warm
air around them. 1t does not make
the feet tender, and it is far more con-
yenient than the hot brick or soap
stone. Try it, and if you are trOubl-
ed with cold feet you will be likely to
keep Ii by you hereafter. What ever
you use, always lie at full length. To
x cu5l up" hiuders free circulation.

A SEAsoNABLE RELIGIoN.-How
many people do you know who regu.
larIy pack up their religion in cam
phor for the warm months? Strange,
how easily they slip out of the old
habit, and don the new. Wonderful
what a difference it makes in their
personal appearance; how much more
stylish and elegant they look in their
summer suits. You wouId hardly
know them tor the same people. Every
thing fits so much more LOOSELY. They
had a habit in the winter of going to
church regularly. But away in the
country tor the hot weather, it is such
bore, and nobody goes, and there is
no preaching :hat they care to hear,
ami II wouldn't do much good at any
rate; and so,-well that habit is GER
'aIuly much too heavy and close for
the summer.

WILD OATs.-The old saving about
the sowing of wild oats " is a very
foolish one. 1t is on q par with ether
incomprehensible and still popular
lies, such as that bad beginnings
make the best endings," and that
married rakes are the best husbands
People repeat these old sayings as If
the were wise; but folly has her
proverbs is we'll IS wisdom. Reduce
such maNims into practice, knock a
hole IN the bottom OF Your ship As
you are about TO sail, fall and badly
bruise yourself as You start on a ieur
ney, and take such beginnings IS fine
omeys for success, if you can. So al
so in question Of morals, To stain
yourself so that you may become
pure, TO blot your virgin page so iha;
il may look white, TO throw away
yeur money in order 10 fiji your purse
would be al voted contradictions in
terms and living a youth of folly
and SIN, so that We may dedicate OLD
age 10 wisdom, philosophy, virtue and
greatness, Is plainly no less. He wi O
is resolved TO sow wild oats broadcast
IN his youth may rest assured that
there Is an eternal tFu,hiu the saving.
Whatsoever man sowelh, that al
so, shall he reap

ALFALFA.-The cultivation of alfal
ia is increasing all over California,
and 1t seems certain 10 prove of very
great value to farmers generally and
especially TO stock.raisers. Upon favor
able soils the yield per acre is enor-
nous, often three or four times great
er than any of the grasses. When it
can be irrigated four crops per year
can be raised, afording abundance OF
green feed at all seasons. 1t is one of
the hardest plants known, very diff
cult 10 be eradicated when once well
established, and is green when all 9th
er kinds of vegetation are dead and
sere. This constant vitality seems 20
depend upon The power of its roots to
penetrate to great depths as if in
search of water We know OF no 9th
er plant except the grapevine that
sends down lis roots SO far. \ few
years a ago, upon the high bank of q
stream where a flood had cause q
part of the soil to fall into the water
an alfalfa root was traced seventeen
feet downward from the surface where
the plant was growing.

Az ARGUMENT FOR MARRIAGF.-Owln9
to the education of the girls of the
present day and the supposed expense
Of keeping a family, young men re
main single until :hey have required
sufficient means TO enter into the mat
rimonial state, and like the sinner de-
:ermining on reform, go on and on
until too old to seek a mate. Powers AN
eminent sculptor, on being questioned
as to why Ae married when possess
ed of such limited means, replied;
"Family and poverty have done more
to supper; me than have to support
them; they have compelled ne 10
make exertions that | hardly thoughI
myself capable of; and often when on
the eve of despairing, they have forced
me, Ike a coward in a corner, to fight
like hero, not for myself, but for my
wife and little ones" And Powers
was right, for a wife TO direct man
toward a proper ambition and general
economy, is like timely succor al
sea, to save him from destruction on a
periIous voyage. Let I young man
of steady habits AMI possessed of the
means of selfsupport, marry the girl

commence housekeeping, but before
he makes his selection, let him know

how she has raised her daughter, if 10
he at home in the kitchen as well as
in the parlor; ifas handy at the needle
as the piano, he can safely marry un,
der the cOviction that he will have a
wife that will help him along the un-

NUTmTIyE VALUE OF WHEAT PRo>
DUcrs.-An analysis of Prof. Storer
shows that American wheat is very
valuable as food for domestic animals,
In the latest table of Wolf of the ac.
ricultural experiment station, in Ho-
henheim in Germany, European bran
is reckoned as worth L per cent. less
than rye, and 80 per cent. more than
average hay. THESE estimates are
based upon the actual digestible f; cd
ingredients contained in them, certain
value per pound being assumed for
albuminoidr, carbo hydrates and fats.
Taking rye as the standard. and cal
cuIatiug what number of pounds
would contain one dollars worth OF
these ingredients, the same number OF
pounds of European bran would be
valued at 81 cents, st. Louis "shib.
stuff at IS cents, and corn meal at
94 cents. The middliDgs and shipstuli
contain less of albuminoids and fats,
and more of carbo hydrates, than the
shorts or bran, but must be a tritie
more digestible. The estimated value
would not differ greatly from that OF
the bran or shorts. "It is worth moth
ing,' Prof. Storer remarks, "lhat the
ash of bran Tor shorts) contains an un
usually large percentage of phos-
pilates (oyer 80 percent Of this ash is
phosphoric acid, calculated as if it
were free and unccmbined), and that
every ton of shorts or meddiings con.
tains from 80 to 80 pounds of ash. All
the varieties of bran are consequently
well fitted to supply the phosphates
needed by by mich cows aud grow
ing animals, and the manure from
animals fed with bran will, of course
be especially rich in phospbates."
