A German Village Wedding.

The village church, where the we'd
ding took place, is on the top of a lit
tie craggy hill. The church is very
old, built of gray stone, with q square
tower and an odd-shaped belfry. The
stony path led through the graveyard
to the church door. The chime of bells
rang out with a decorous joy. "Let all
things be done d%ecentlv and in order"
they seemed to ring, mot too fast: we
are staid people and take time for all
things" The interior of the church
was cold and severe. looking, the walls
.white-washed, but the galleries painted
PINK and blue. The long narrow win
lows seemed set in stone arches, so
thick was the wall. The pulpit above
the alter was as high up as the galleries,
SO that the minister breaches far above
the heads of his flock. On one side of
the alter hung a portrait of Luther. on
the otker of Melanothon.
The wedding took place at midday.
FIRST came a troop OF little girls each
carrying in her tiny hand punches of
flowers. The little things, with their
braided hair (no hats) and dresses nj.
most touching the floor, looked as quaint
and demure as the little women in the
old-fashioned picture books. Next
came the bride and one bridesmaid, then
three bridesmaids walking together.
lastly the groom and the groomslnen.
The bride and bridesmaids entered a
pew to the left, and the groom and par-
ty one to the right. Ali knelt in pray-
er. Then the bride went bv herself 10
the altar, laid on one side a white silk
handkerchief, q sprig of rosemary and a
lemon l wondered to myself if the
lemon was emblematic of the sourness
OF married life. She then re-
turned to the pew. [ noticed that
there was on the other side of the
altar another white silk handkerchief,
Q sprig OF rosemary and a new bible.
Inc choir sang quite along hymn. The
minister went up in the pulpit and
preached q sermon Of about twenty min
utes. The choir sang another iymn.
A little boy placed q long, low stool be-
fore the altar. The minister descend
ed, and the bride Joined the groom Mt
the altar, the bridesmaids and grooms.
men remaining in the pews.
At the close of the ceremony Tho mis-.
lister presented, the groom with the
new Bible. The choir sang still an
other hymn. Then the bride returned
to her pew and the groom to his and
sald their prayers, after which the
groom and groomsmen left the church
ana were not joined by tho bride until
they were quite out in the c~hurchyard.
1t seems the silk handkerchief, lemon
and rosemary on n side of the altar
were for the minister. On the other
the gift was for the organist.-Crail-

Bad Seeds.

Prof. Beal states in one of his public
addresses that it was estimated q few
years ago there were 10000 bushels of
bad turnip seed mixed and sown with
good seed IN Germany in a single year.
Mills in that country are employed to
grind up quartz, sift it to the size of
and color it to resemble the
seed of red clover. He also stated that
in England there exists an organized
agreement to adulterate seeds to a GER
tain extent. Pure, fresh seed they quote
as met Seed" and dead seed as ssthree
knocks" Among the frauds is the use Of
the seeds of weeds which resemble good
sorts in appearance. These are killed
by boiling or baking, SO as not to come
up and tell the fraud, and they
are then mixed with good seeds. The
practice of purchasing seeds in market,
for testing at experiment stations, an
unknown third person making the pur-
chase, is likely to lessen the fraud COM
mitted, some of which pass through the
hands of innocent dealers, who will thus
be induced to take greater care in buy
ing of others. The worst frauds ere
found inimported grass seeds. In MAX
ing these statements it must not be for
gotten that the failure of seeds to ger
inmate does not always prove them to be
bad, for such failures Gifted result from
planting too deep, or in covering with
dry or cloddy soil, or from emitting to
press the earth sufficiently over them,
or romlll-treatment; the fact that when
the same seeds are properly planted in
fine, mellow soil, and at a moderate
depth, they terminate finely, proving
their good quality.-Country Gentle

Polygamous Economies.
From Harper's Magazine.

from Harper's Magazine.
Tho private home routine of q polygae
NOUS family is n matter upon which so
much curiosity is constantly expressed
by my acquaintance that / venture to
say here what little I know; but the
reader must remember that less than
ten per cent. Of the voting Mormon
population of Utah are polygamists.
The polygamist as a rule, has accum-
ulated some property and owns a house
before he takes second and successive
wives, though sometimes he begins by
marrying two or shree at once. All of
these marriages, however, except the
first are made secretly by the Church,
and no record Of them is accessible.
In the city, at least, it is seldom that
different wives share the same quarters.
In the country this is not so uncommon,
but the natural unpleasantness follows
nEmost cases. The general method is
to have a large house, the main part
OF which, perhaps, is occupied by the
first wife and wings or additions by the
successive candidates for marital honors.
These large, struggling, hotel like
and mark difference between it and a
town of small houses like Cheyenne and
most other western Villages. In many
cases, however, the husband sets up his,
wives in separate homes, either side by
side or in different parts of the city. In
any case each has her own kitchen-gar-
den, etc. / have in mind a wealthy
digintary of The church whom you
might eaisly have mistaken for the late
Peter Cooper and who is possessed
Of wives. Each Of these
women has some farming and
garden ground of her own and all
are greatly devoted to rearing bees.
With the help Of their grown children
they each raise o large amount Of pro-
duce and honey annually. The husband
acts as their agent. He hives their
swarms of bees and charges them for it;
he renders special aid when called up
on and is paid for it; he sells their
crops and honey when it is ready and
Ecreaitss eachga,vifew with hergdue share.
IMostsof them live in suites Of apartments
under the roof Of his great house IN

EfaiMsof hersown little out Of the city,
Ftoswhichsshe and her children have re-
tired, to end their days in peaceful in
dependence.
The way in which this old gentleman
has always arranged his domestic life is
reported to be thus: He had certain
rooms in his house where he kept his
bed, his wardrobe, his books and saw
my visitors who called upon him. Here.
he was q bachelor and here he staidi

Sweet love, for the rose that you wore
Against your waist, a king might sigh;
Here on my troubled heart they lie
Graded in rest, to rest no more.
Crushed, faded, but forever sweet,
All, was it fate or was 1t chance,
That shook them downward in the dance,
And dropped them gently at my feet?
You did not dream, when we should part
You, in your stately loveliness-
How close against my heart should press
The flowers that nestled on your heart
Alb, so l keep them. Half divine
Is the deep mystery they reveal;
And in my happy dreams feel
The beating ofyour heart on mine.

strawbsrrtsx for HON. u.s.

HHN tH"a.E- .Hr. r I'll
Mr.. Edmund Hersey, who has fur
nished his household with Strawberries
for thirty-fve years, reports all actual
seasons yield of 100 quarts from fifty
plants, mostly Hovey's and Cutters
Seedlings, on two rods OF land and with
four hours of labor" He urges all
farmers and rural residents with "no
matter how small gardens" to raise
their W supply, declaring that those
who depend upon the open market
never can buy the best fruit, Indeed
they have little conception of the luxury
of a dish of good, well-ripened straw
berries" His ideas as to culture, based
on long experience from the amateurs
point of view, are given as follows in
The Massachusetts, Ploughman:
Zone of the great mistakes that many
make who attempt to grow strawberries
in their gardens, is in trying to get
more than one crop of fruit FROM q set
of vines. The easiest and best way is
toset new vines every year, keep them
we'll cultivated until October, then omit
cultivation until the fruit is all ripe and
gathered, when the vines should be
ploughed under and the land set with
cabbage or sown to turnips, thus getting
another crop and at the same time keep
ing the ground FREQ from weeds and
grass. If an attempt be made to carry
the bed over another year, it will take
twice as long to clean the bed of grass,
weeds and surplus vines, as it would to
set q new bed, and keep it clean the
entire season; but once cleaning will
not be enough, it must be weeded out
several times during the season, and
even then will not yield as much as q
new bed"
MANY set in August, bit this is not
the best time; if the weather be dry it
will be necessary to water the plants,
and then the next spring they must be
kept clean of weeds and grass, and then
muiched to keep the fruit clean. 1.-THE
plants do well they will not bear half
as much fruit as if set in spring. After
trying different seasons l have settled
down to the last week in April as the
best time to set q new bed. Then the
ground is wet, and before the season
gets dry and hot the plants have time
to get we'll established, so the plants
require no care, except to keep the
weeds and grass out. If one is short of
garden space the vines may be set in
rows fo1,r feat oport and n ,1r

EL
The Poultry World says that the diff.
ference between an egg laid by aplump,
healthy hen, fed with good. fresh food
daily, and an egg laid by thin. poorly
fed hen is as great as the difference be-
tween good beef and poor. A fowl fed
on garbage and weak slops, with very
little grain Of any kind, may lay eggs,
to be sure, but when these eggsare bro
ken, to be used for cakes, pies, etc,
they will spread in a weak, watery way
over your dish or look q milky white,
instead Of having a rich, slightly yellow
tinge. A "rich egg," retains its shape
as far as possible, and yields to the
beating of a knife or spoon with more
resistance, and gives you tho conviction
that You are really beating something
thicker than water or diluted milk.

TERRIBLE rRADEerH DALLAS, TEXAS.

DALLLs, Texas, July IA mosi
horrible tragedy hgs just occurred at
the National Hotel, in which two of the
most prominent young men of Dallas
evidently fought a duel to the death.
w. H. Beale and Bowie Strange are
both lying dead in q room in the third
story of the hotel Strange is partially
dressed ard Beale stripped, except his
drawers, showing that they we're about
to retirefor the night. The pistol Of
each is lying by his side. Both appear ts
be shot through the heart, and Strange
also, through the heart. The doors
to the third suite of rooms we're locked
and your correspondent and Mr.. w. J.
Dial had to break them in to effect an
entrance, being the first parties toarrive
on the tragic scene.
Their duel is shrouded in mystery.
They were devoted friends, but are said
to have had hard words few minutes
before the tragedy.
At 1925 the report of the pistols was
heard, and the announcement of the
deaths have created profound sensation
and hundreds of people are congregated
in the streets. The killing of no other
two young men in Dallas in such a
tragic manner could have created more
regret or excitement.
