Once more the years roll on. A new
family wields sway In Venice; but the
taciturn spirit and well-filled purse want
the strong hand to control tho varying
passions Of the state. A band Of armed
men steal silently across the square; they
seek the home Of the Norosino, meaning
at one fell blow to quench their mortal
feud in the blood OF al who bear the
name; but strength meets strength, and
Stefano Caloprini retires baftled with bis

urged against it the might Of the German

baffled in thine attempt to lay the city of

a legacy OF hatred and murder, which was
only satisfied by the assassination Of thy
sons and the deposition Of the helpless
doge.

What do we mean by this? Do we
mean, don't use any more manure than
you can help2 Not a bit of it. Some
farmers would perhaps like to have us
mean that, because they can't see of what
use on this western land muck manure is
anyway. They have notion, aud too
many have it. that the soil itself is ma
nu:e, perpctrally self.renewing manure.
Those who 90 on under this deIusion will
reap the delusion, just that in addition
to the smaller, coarser crops they will
raise. Rich as the prairie land is, its el-
ements are ever lessening, of course with
the constant draft on them, aud however
out of notice the fact may vlsibly be,
still it will develope it's own verify, if
we will supply manure enough to show
the difference that was wanting.
Wasting manure does not consist in
bestowing it with wise ]iberality on your
fields, you can't waste it by being gencr.
Gus with it there-but We will tell you
how it may be wasted. Cart it all off,
and get rid Of it--damp it anywhere. as
lar away from your farm as possible. re-
gard it as anuisauce. and drug. Let your
more sagacious eighbor get the better
OF it, and Of you BY getting it from you

Turn of Life"

Between the ages Of forty and sixty a
man who has properly regulated himself
may be considered in the prime of life.
His matured strength of constitution ren.
t'ers him almost impervious to the attack
OF disease, and experience has given
soundness to his Judgment. His mind is
resolute, firm and equal; all his functions
IN the highest order; he assumes mastery
over business; builds up competence on
the foundation he has formed in early
manhood, and passes through period OF
lie attended by many qualifications.
Having gone year CT two past sixty, he
arrives at standstill. But athwart this
is viaduct called the sTurn OF Lite"
which if crossed in safety leads to the
valley Of ''old age" round which the
river winds, and then beyond, without
boat or causeway to effect It's passage.
The bridge is, however, constructed Of
fragile materials, and it depends upon
how it is trodden, whether it bend or
break: Gout,appoplexy.are in the road to
waylay the traveller, and thrust him from
the pass; but let him gird up his loins
and provide himself with 9 filter staff,
and he may trudge in safety, with perfect
composure. To quit metaphor, "The Turn
OF Life' is turn either into prolonged
walk, or into the grave. The system
and powers having reached their utmost
expansion, now begin to either close like
flowers at sunset or break down at once.
One injudicious stimulant, single fatal
excitement, may force it beyond it's
strength, whilst acareful supply Of props
and the withdrawal of all tha, tends to

They parted. and met two days later
at the same place. Perrier did not limp
any more. He was dressed in the height
of fashion and was evidently in excellent
spirits.
This time Malbranche treated his friend
to the champagne. Then they whispered
. long time in IN animated manner to-

Pe,rier shook his head repeatedly, but
at last Malbranche said in . louder tone
of voice:

"All right" he said.
Three days later the Marquise de Pom.
padour, the Kings principal mistress, had
u strange whim.
She wanted to put on for an hour the
clown diamonds, which the Queens oi
France wore on gala occasions.
The King at once promised to comply
with her wish.
"All the crown diamonds " he said ''arf

The King went out, but returned 4 few
minutes later, prey to intense excite

Throwing the Shoe,

One Of tho best known customs con-
nected with shoes is that of throwing
them after wedding paIty ON their waI
from church or elsewhere. II il, sav the
authors of Lancashire Folklore, relic
OF Anglo-saxon or Danish usages, along
with many other Wedding usages Of
ancient origin. The Ian csshire custom
is to throw an old shoe on leaving the
house 10 be married, as q preventive. of
future unhappiness, and an omen of good
luck and prosperity. In Norfolk it is
also the custom to throw the shoe after
the wedding party on proceeding to the
church. In Yorkshire, according to a
writer in Homes Table Book, in 1927,
was custom called "trashing," which
signified pelting people with old shoes
on their return from church on the we'd
ding-day. "Trashine" has at first some
raison d'etre, but as time went on this be-
came forgotten, and the custom was in.
discrlminately practiced among the low.
er orders. The Kentish custom is for
one Of the groomsmen to throw the shoe,
after which the bridesmaids run. she who
gets it believing that she will be married
first. She in turn throws it among the
men, the man who receives the blow be-
ing also destined for marriage before the
others. A custom not very dissimilar
used to prevail among the noble Ger
mans in the past. The bride on being
conducted to the bride-chamber ueed to
take off her shoe, and throw it among
those who were near, every one striving
to catch 1t, and the successful one accep
ing it as an omen of his or her early and
happy marriage. There is an old rhyme
still cxtant which gives an early date C
this custom OF throwing shoes at wed.

Nutmegs.

Nutmegs grow on trees which look like
resr trees, and are generally over twenty
feet high. The flowers are very much
like the lily of the valley. They are
pale yellow, and very fragrant. The nut
meg is the seed Of the fruit, and mace is
the thin covering Of this seed. The fruit is
about as large as peach. When ripe it
breaks open and shows the little nut in
side. The trees grow on the islands Of
Asia, and in tropical America. They
bear fruit for seventy or eighty years,
having ripe fruit upon them at ali sea-
sons. A fine tree in Jamaica has over
four thousand nutmees on it yearly. The
Dutch used to have all the nutmeg trade,
as they owned the Banda Islands, and
conquered all the other traders, and de-
stroyed the trees. To keep the price up,
they once burned three piles of nutmees,
each of which was as large as a church.
Nature did not sym2athize with such
meanness. The nutmeg pigeon, found
III all the Indian Islands, did for the
world what the Dutch had determined
should not be done; carried these nuts,
which are their food. into all the sur
rounding countries, and trees grew again
and tho world has the benefit.

During the last twenty years the prac-
tice of luxurious self-induleence has
crept on apace. Splendor and spending
are still the order of the day, and house
holds vie with each other in the race of
,ostentation: Extravaganza, not economy,
is the standard of domestic happiness at
present in fashion. 1t is not a girls
ideal, when she marries, that she should
stay at home; but, on the countras7, that
