Marrying All Day Long.

~ never saw so much fun in the wed.
ding business as l saw down in Bur.
lington, N. j., the other day." said a
Scranton man who had just returned
from that town. '"The young people
OF Eastern Pennsylvania dislike the
new marriage lawvery much, and they
have made Burlington veritai,a
Gretna Green. The average numbe.
OF marriages OF Pennsylvania couples
has been eleven a day for some time
past, and the epidemic appears to be
on the increase. One Sunday not long
ago thirty couples went there to be
married. called at the house of the
parson who is an old acquaintance OF
mine, and he was so overrun with
work that he asked me to stay and
see him tie the young lovers who had
come there across the river from the
Keystone State. The hall was filed
with waiting couples, and the minis
ters's study and parlor had all they
could hold comfortably. The green
country chaps and fellows from the
villages enjoyed the jam ever so much,
and the girls giggled and accepted the
situation gocd-naturedly. AS fast as
one couple were pronounced husband
and wife all the others offered their
congratulations, although in nearly
every case the parties had never seen
one another before.
"One burly young farmer with a
buxom maiden a his side blushed when
he walked through the crowd to have
| the knot tied He was told to brace
up and not get excited by the Jolly
would-be husbands, and one told him
to keep stiff upper lip, as the agony
would not last long. When he march
| ed out into the hall he was greeted by
such EXPLANATIONS as sPshaw! it didn't
hurt you half as much as you thought
it would, and %, you're all right, if
you did look scared The much
frightened groom got out OF the house
as quickly as he could, put his bride
in an open carriage, and started for
Pennsylvania.
Gas a general thing the girls went
through the trying ordeal much more
gracefully than the boys. It's our
turn next, Nina, an don't yefurgit it,
a hard-handed chap was heard to
whisper to his girl, when couplestood
up before the minister. and when that
couple had been disposed OF and
certificate made out the hard-tisted
fellow took somewhat slender miss
by the right hand and led her before
the preacher. Git around on t'other
side, Joshua; that amt the side to
stand on, said a voice IN the audi
ence, and Joshua had to change his
position, which he did in very awk-
ward way, grinning and coloring up as
he did so, When the last couple had
been disposed OF my ministerial friend
drew a sigh of relief and looked tired.
He said he hoped no more Pennsyl-
vanians would bother him in a month.
He had taken in $50 in fees that day.

Pretty Good Potato Yield.
From the New England Farmer.

From the New England Farmer.
Mr.. Charles Badger, who reported a
yield OF potatoes from single square
rod equal to 900 bushels per acre, and
who showed a full five bushels of the
marketable potatoes at the recent
Franklin Farmers Club Fair, gives us
an account of the method of cultiva-
ton pursued. The land was in corn
last year, and was well manured. The
character Of the soil is a SANDY loan.
1t lies in a valley, and though never
too wet, seldom suffers from drouth.
Last spring good horse load of sta
BILE manure, from a barn where horses,
COWS and hogs are kept, was spread
and spaded in. the work being thor
oughly done. On the 18th of May it
was furrowed out as closely as the fur
rows could conveniently bemade with
spade, ten rows to the rod. A half
bushel OF seed was used, cut into from
two to three eyes Or more, medium sized
potatoes being cut into two or more
pieces were dropped about foot
apart, four or five inches below the
surface level. After covering lightly
with earth q light mulch of saturated
litter from a hog sly was laid over the
rows and three common water pail
fuls of fertilizer spread over the whole
At hoeing time a dressing OF pulverized
hen manure was sprinkled along the
rows and worked in as the weeds were
cut out with the hand hoe. The yield
was five bushes oflarge and one bushel
DISMAL potatoes. The trial rod was a
part of a field Of three-fourths OF an
acre planted to potatoes, with every
sixth row left for marrow squashes,
which were planted when the potatoes
were hoed. There were $50 bushels
Of potatoes and tour tons of squashes
on the field. Fifty pounds OF the
squashes grew upon the trial rod with
the six bushels OF potatoes. The
square rod was planted to Beauty OF
Hebron potatoes, the three fourths
acre to Early Rose and Beauty OF
Hebron.

SllnaOWers For Fuel.

l grow one acre OF them every year,
and have blenty of fuel for the stove
the whole year round and use some in
the other stove beside. plant them
in hills the same as corn (only three
seeds to the hilD, and cultivate the
same as corn. cut them when the
leader or top flower is ripe, letting
them lie on the ground two or three
days. In that time l cut off all the
seed-heads, which are put into an open
shed with floor in it, the same as q
corn crib.
The stalks are then hauled home
and packed in a common shed with
good roof on it. When cut in the
right time the stalks, when dry, are
hard as oak, and make a good, hot
fire, while the seed heads. with the
seed in, make a better fire than the
best hard coal. The seed, being very
rich in Oil, will burn better and longer,
bushel for bushel, than hard coal.
The sunflower is very hard on land.
The piece OF ground selected to plant
on should be highly enriched with ma
nure. In the great steppes (prairie re-
gion in the interior OF Russia and in
Tartary, where the winters are more
severe than in Dakota, the sunAowers

she wants to marry. By and by she
does find him, and when she does she
drops everything and goes with him.
She stops short in her music, her act
ing her art, her literature, or what
ever tits, because after all her instinct
tells her to marry, and she follows
her instinct instead of her reason.
A man can marry and go ahead in
the particular pursuit or profession
he has chosen, but the woman stops
and subjects everything to the one
duty OF wifehood. That is the reason
women do not succeed as we'll as men.
They fall short. Grant all this for
the sake of argument. Admit that it
is the general mission of women to
marry and raise up d family But l
am now writing about the exceptions.
There ale exceptions in all classes, all
rules, all theories and all PHILOSOPHERS.
Most women do marry young, and
that is right. That is as far as most
of them want to go. They are fitted
for this sort Of life, and have no desire
or fitness for another.
But are you going to make one kind
of girl do this when it is straight
jacket and an abomination to her? In
other words, is she to marry simply
for the sake Of marrying, and "settle
down" simply for the sake Of settling
down? Why not allow her to follow
her natural bent as well as the young
man? True, she may, as my Director
says, find some man while herself fol
lowing a successful career whom she
will love and whom she will marry,
thus cutting short work that might
otherwise have been rounded out and
made com plete. True, women are not
as completely successful as men in the
more independent pursuits of life. But
the point wish to make clear and
emphaticis that society, and the WON
an herself, and the man she marries,
and all directly or remotely concerned,
are the better for her having done even
something for herself, however little.
repeat that the sef-reliant woman
is a civilizer. The busy world is i'm
proved by her having been partici.
pator therein. Her words are gentle
and kind, and her presence is a re.
straint to the headlong impetuosity OIL
men. Even though she may not re.
main long with us single, let US be
thankful that she has come at all. Il
she falls in love and marries, even at
the expense of an independent career,
her life after all is not in vain. Her
own views have been broadened, her
sympathies have been deepened, her
capacity for enjoyment made greater
and her scope for usefulness widened.
say again and again, let the ambi-
tious girl see what she can do for her
self.

Neglected Natives.

1t is not the pretty native calves
we should select, but those born of
good mothers. This is the definite
and about the only rule we can fol-
low, for our remissness as a people
has been such that on the sire's side
it is doubtful if pedigree can be
traced more than to the first or
second generation. The native bulls
are usually chosen because of their
color Or some notion. The rule Of the
breeder OF thoroughbred that ''the
sire is half OF the herd' is never
thought OF by the owner of the COM
mon stock. l have heard men, who
ought to have sense, say, zone bull is
just as good as another" This doc
trine will never improve our diaries,
or beef. The bull should be selected
from the the best COWS, and be "cow-
like" not all neck and horns; such a
bull is good to get fighters and this is
what the heavy neck and horns are
for. The cow-like bull, with a slim
neck and light head and horns, will
have thin skin, soft and mellow, and
d good Development of milk veins,
teats and other COW marks. He will
be docile and his get will be more like
ly to make gentle COWS. The princi-
pie that "like begets like" has built up
many noble breeds, and it might have
improved our native stock if care and
brains had been used.-F. D. Curtis,
Kirby Homestead, N. Y.

To Be Touched With Caution.

Special crops, as hemp, flax, broom
corn, hops, ETC., are to be touched
with caution. They are easily grown,
but the means of harvesting, securing
or preparing them for sale, is wholly
mechanical and technical, and needs
knowledge and skill There are man
uals for the use of the inexperienced,
but even with these it is necessary to
go very slowly as into a labyrinth or
upon country crossroads with only a
map in the hand and one learns most
through his inevitable mistakes. Many
become discouraged IN this way, and
give up just as success is within grasp.
The boom ofthe past season in broom
corn will lead many farmers to venture
into it's culture, and a cautlonary hint
will save some from disappointment
and loss.-F. Warner.

An Elephant Kills a Man.
From the Pail Mall Gazatte.

From the Fall Mall GaZatte.
A man named David Watkins has
been killed by an elephant at Abel
dare. For the past two days Bostock
and WombwelPs menagerie has ex-
hibited in this town. April 6, the ele-
plant Madame Jumbo, only four inch
es less than the renowned Jumbo him
self, was stabbed in an enclosure at
the back OF the White Lion Inn.
Some boys managed to get into this
place, and proceeded to feed the ele-
plant with biscuits. Others, more
mischievous, gave the animal supply
OF stones. This SO angered it that
it attempted to wreck its vengeance on
its tormentors. The boys, however,
managed to escape over wall. The
elephant then turned upon Watkins,
an old man OF sixty-five, who had
been an amused spectotor Of the
proceedings. He, unfortunately, was
unable to make his escape, and the
elephant seized him with its trunk,
dashed him violently to the ground,
and then pumn,eled him severely
The cries OF the old man brought the
keeper to the spot, but he was in turn
compelled to seek safety in fight and
obtain assistance. Watkins was
eventually rescued, but he was found
! to be terribly injured, and died.
