CoURTsHIP AND MARRIAGE.

With an honorable girl and an
honorable man, an engagement car
ries with it something more than a
few sunny months of courtship. At
ter courtship comes marriage; after
marriage comes the home. To de-
scribe the reasons which to some
young people seem quite sufficient to
justify them, in flirting, and then in
getting 'sengaged' would answer no
good purpose. But putting aside
the indiiect manner in which writer's
address their readers, let me speak
frankly to you as friend to friend.
Let me ask you to consider what you
must have in your future husband, in
your future wife, to make it even
tolerable to spend twenty or thirty or
forty years together. / will not in
sist on the elements which are nee
essary to the romantic perfection of
married life; for most of us are COM
monplace people, and a life of ro-
nance is beyond our reach. There
are some very commonplace things
you ought to make sure of. Good
sound health is one thing; there
are twenty grave reasons for insisting
on it. Next to this / should put per-
feet truthfulness the man who will
lie to other people will lie to his
wife; the girl who will lie to other
people will lie to her husband. Next
to truthfulness, temperance, industry,
and courage. Then fortitude; that
is the power to bear pain and trouble
without whining. Then unselfsh-
ness f; for the selfish man, or selfish
girl, though drawn out of selfishness
in the early weeks of courtship, will
settle back into it again when
the wear and worry Of life come on.
| said just now the most of us are
commonplace people, and that a life
of romance is out of our reach; but
believe in "falling in love-" The
imagination should be kindIed and
the heart touched; there should be
enthusiasm and even romance to the
very end of life, or else the home is
wanting in its perfect happiness and
grace. The wonderful charm which
makes the wife more to the husband
than all other women, and the hus-
band more to the wife than all other
men-this is necessary to happy
marriage. But take my word for it,
those plain, solid virtues of which I
have spoken are Indispensable to the
security and happiness of home +;
and it is home you are drifting to
when you are drifting into love-

MIXED HUS8ANDRY.

The great land owners and grain
kings are monopolizing the business
of growing grains, cotton. etc., so
that the small farmers cannot make
anything to speak Of, growing such,
hence the necessity of using land in
such way as will pay. Many farm
ers have been nearly ''run OUT by
system of cropping year after year.
But little stock kept on the farm,
and but little, if any, seeded down,
and the hay and straw packed and
seLt off the farm; thus rapidly run
the land out. THIS should all be
changed-stocks should be kept and
the hay, stalks and straw fed out to
such and the manure used on the
farm, and what is sold off. should be
only the surplus grain and live stock.
Every farmer having good orchards
should grow fruit, for even when APP
pies are fifteen to twenty-five cents
per bushel, they pay better than any
gram crop that can be grown. Take
apples, for MISTAKENLY having the
orchard fenced in and allowing the
pigs and stock to run therein, the
trees get the benefit of the manure
and the pigs eat all the wortny fruit
as it falls, and thus none but the per-
feet fruit is taken from the trees-all
or nearly all of which make good
barrel apples at good paying prices.
Peaches, ounces, plums. cherries
and small fruits can he grown by
thousands Of farmers and markets for
them found near by. How many
small farmers there are in every To-
cality, which if one-half or two-thirds
or three-quarters were turned into
stock raising-cows, pigs, sheep and
also grain-not selling off any hay,
straw OF stalks, aud the other part
into fruit growing. these same small
farmers would make more money
than their more extensive land own,
ers.--Five acres in many lOealitie:
could be made TO pay more real pro
fit than 100 acres of such kind O
farming as one sees carried on il

enough small fruit for even thei
own use, while they will freely Blu.

KITCHEN TALKS.

81 saw Cynthia Wood washing
dishes the other day, Marmsle, and
she put milk in the water! The pan
was half full of hot water, and in that
she put cup of old but sweet milk.
She said it softened the hard water
and prevented the hands from chap
ping, and Mrs. Wood said girls Of
ten wondered why their hands got so
rough and unsightly; but if they
were careful to dry them before GO
ing out in the wind, and used this
recipe for their dishes it would not
happen. 1t was the crude soap peo-
pie used and their own carelessness
that caused such rough, red hands,
and then girls felt they were martyrs
to dish washing" 1t was one of the
Hillside girlies who said this, after
calling on neighbor, and thought
the idea might be useful. For my
own part, / prefer borax to soften
water, and it is so easily managed !;
nor have | ever known it to hurt the
hands. I know that for tin-ware
milk and-water is better than soap,
for the tin does not have the same
rusty, streaked appearance.
We had a long talk about "pie"
too, in the kitchen, the head of the
household being very fond of
apple pie, though he admits that it
| is not the most healthful diet. Late
ly the Amateur Cook has tried a new
paste, first in small quantities, to see

Mothers sometimes mistakenly in
sist that the child shall eat all upon
its plate, to prevent it from being
"wasted." 1t ought to be needless to
remark that this is not to be com
mended. A child should early be
taught not to waste food, nor shonld
he ever be permitted to render value
less that which may be Of use to
others. But to eat food when one
has had a sufficiency, to keep it from
being wasted" is not the way to
teach child frugality. 1t is bet
ter to help child to food two or
three times than to load his plate SO
that he may be in danger of leaving
any. Thus may health and frugality
I be secured at the same time.

now, however, depends largely on
the soil and methods of cultivation,
is less generally understood. The
potatoes grown on the soil full of
vegetable matter will be large and

ing the putting up OF these rods. That Pro-
yisional Board, as board, never contracted
for this work. One member OF the board
permitted a rod to be put on the smoke
stack. That is the extent of il. This is the
only testimony In its favor. Other testimony
shows there was no contract, no order made
by the board. The board even ordered some

Mr.. LLOYD: This subject has been
thoroughly and fairly discussed. 1t passed
the Senate as S.. 100, came here and was cut
down TO s. 500, Ieeommitted to a committee

MIR. PENDLETON: Great stress is put
upon DR.. Jameson's testimony. The gentle
man who has so much quoted from Dr.
Jameson did not read the part where he
says that Mr.. Munson should be paid-that
he has already been bid out OF his money
long enough. The bill has been cut down
until there Is no question about it.
