The KINDS OF POULTRY TO KEEP
There are two productions for which
fowls are always in demand-laying
eggs and for poultry-so it is well TO
keep the breed in the best condition
possible for one or both of these
branches of business. And if you can
at the same time have them please the
fancy of the fancier, so much the better.
as they make better customers usually
for the surplus stock than the butcher.
In some localities eggs are worth more
than poultry and it is desirable to nave
them at a particular time Of the year;
For egg production the non-sitter should
be chosen, and they will produce eggs
when wanted, and in quantities to suiI'
if properly fed and otherwise cared feI'
If early poultry is wanted, the nou-si.,,
ters Of good size are the best TO breeo
from, but If you want to raise IN lass
Fall or Winter choose the short-leggea
Asiatics.

MARRIAGES IN SERvIA. fathers
of two houses concerned meet and settle
the matter together, exchanging pres
ents which sometimes amount to q con-
siderable value. This by sort of pur-
chase, is as useful a member of house
hold as a grown up maiden, surren-
dered by one to another. The brother
of the bride delivers her to the solemn
procession, which comes to conduct her
to her new abode; and there she is re-
ceived by the sestse, q sister-in law Of
the bridegroom. She dresses a child,
touches with a distaff the walls, which
are SO often to see her occupied with
this implement, and carries bread, wine
and water up to the table, which it will
become her daily duty to prepare.
With these symbolic ceremonies she
enters into the new community. Her
mouth is sealed by piece Of sugar, to
denote that she should utter little, and
only what is good. As yet she is only
a stranger, and for a whole year she is
termed the betrothed." By an as
sumption Of continued bashfulness,
prescribed by custom, she keeps apart
even from her husband. In the pres
ence of others she scarcely converses
with him, much less would playmate
phrase be permitted from her lips. 1t
is only when years have passed, and
she has become the mother of grown up
children, that she. in reality, finds her
self on an equality with the other mem
bers of the household.

A REMARKAB1E instance of the presel

A REMARKABLE instance of the preser-
vation Of dead body is mentioned in
the Richmond Dispatch. A Mr.. Dues
berry died in March, 1857, and the
body was buried in a metallic coffin.
Recently it was removed to another
cemetery. The wooden box was de-
cayed, and the coffin was found sub
merged in water. A thick coating Of
rust covered the case, and when the
heavy metallic plate was removed from
the upper part, and the body exposed
through the glass, it was found to Oe in
state Of perfect preservation. The
clothing, also, was just as when the
burial took place, and even the flowers
around the dead mans face looked
fresh.

To keep the veil down when visiting

several novelties in preparation; but
the most becoming wells are either plain

The newest kid slippers for ladies are

A substantial improvement in bustles
and paniers is that of having the ends
of the horizontal hoops interlocked with
the lengthwise wires in secure way
that prevents them from being displaced
and .protruding at the ends, as they are
apt to do. Another good invention puts
hinges in the lengthwise wires, so that
they will fold without breaking, when
the wearer sits down. These are made
up in cloth and in skeleton paniers,
small bustles, long ones, and the small
hoop skirts that many ladies like to use
during the summer months.

the trimming. Thus mandarin yellow
is used as the lining of the bows on this
dress of plum-gray camel's-hair, and the
rows of sewing-machine stitching are Of
grayish white. Other suits made by
this design are of olive-green wool
stitched with pale blue, or else myrtle
green stitched with tilluel.
The scarf dolman is one of the best
models of the new short raps. It's ex-
treme simplicity of shape, with only
one bias seam down the middle of the
back, and Talma dart on each shoul-
der, will commend it to all, and this
scarf-shape, with the merest slit to pass
the hands through, makes it cling around
the shoulders and hold the arms closely
to the sides, giving the slender appear
ance now considered stylish. The most
dressy Of these raps are Of light-colored
wools, with black silk. Sicilienne and
net will be used for summer, and plain
black cashmere is used for palmer wraps
that are neat and ladylike, though not
meant to be dressy.

The steamer has been In use in this
city three years. The other day 1t was
taken to pieces, cleaned and put to-
gether again. The chief engineer pro
tom. ordered it out for trial, TO see If it
was in working order. Tho engine
threw water from the Crutchiield dis
tern, and replaced it from the fire by
drant. Mr.. Daniels complains of this,
and states that he will not consent to
filing cisterns from the hydrant, and
the city has no right to do so under
its contract. The water works will
supply water for the eCtinguiShmcM Of
fires. AS far as the legality of Mr.
Daniels objection is concerned, we
claim that he is correct, but at the same
time we think the Water Supply Com.
pany show very illiberal spirit in re-
fusing what little water that is required
for practice. The question now arises,
can the city afford to pay four thou
sand dollars u year for a supply of
water during the existence OF fire
only, and continue to I'LL her cisterns
in the old manner, by pumping it
from one cistern to another. Ever
since the organization f the fire de-
partment until the building of the
water works, the Texas and Pacific
Railroad. with its accustomed liberali
ty, hes given water from its tank to
the city, for the use of the fire depart
ment free Of charge, and we would
suggest that our cisterns be connected
with each other by pipes, and the gen
erosity of the Texas and Pacific road
will still allow us to keep them full,
and thus save the wear aud tear of our
engine, and not put the city to the
further expense of paying the water
company extra for filling the csterns
