A Romance from COrea.

For parents and near kinsfolk it is
customary in Corea to mourn three
years, says letter writer. What deep
influence this prescriptive usage has
upon the life of the people is illustrated
by the following story of an aged bache-
lor who was asked why he had never
taken wife. "My parents. as well as
myself" he said, "were desirous that l
should marry, and suitable young lady
being found oul betrothal took place.
Then my future father in law died, and
we had, of course, to wait three years.
/ had hardly put off my mourning than
| had to bewaiI the loss of my own
poor father; necessarily here was an
other term of three years waiting.
When these were up the mother of my
future wife took sick and expired, and
thus we were Obliged to delay our mar
rage another three years. Lastly, 1
had the misfortune to lose my own dear
mother, which naturally caused a fur
ther adjournment. So that, as four
times three makes twelve, that number
of years had passed over our heads and
made us both the older At this time
my bctrothed fell i'll, and as she was at
deaths door | went to pay her last
visit. My future brother in-law met me
at the door and said; Although you
are not formally ma, ried, yet perhaps
may for this once look upon you as man
and wife; come IN and see her had
hardly entered and been for moment
face to face with my poor wife then she
breathed her last. When | saw this all
thoughts of marriage fed from me, and
have remained bachelor ever since. ]"

Raising Chickens.

Raising chickens in practice is one Of
the difficult things around the farm. The
chickens hatch out and soon die, and
the farmer talks about his poor luck.
Luck has nothing to do with it. We
have had many years experience IN the
business, and while we are not prepared
to say authoratively who is the mother
of the chickens, the hen that raises the
chickens or the hen that lays the eggs,
we do say boldly hen knows nothing
about raising chickens. The way we
do is this: Fill box with bran. Wind
the hen up and set her to laying, fool
her with a glass egg for nest egg, re-
move daily her egg and number it, with
out any shaking deposit it in the box of
bran (Which must be kept in a moder-
ately cool place.. Turn the eggs over
each day carefully, one day the num-
bers up, the next down. At last when
the hen is ready to sit, take gOodsized
box, fill it half full of wood-ashes, and
on top of that build the nest, of good,
clean, fresh straw or hay. Allow the
hen to sit few days on the glass egg,
until she gets warmed down to the work,
then put the eggs under her. Have near
the nests at all times three things: First,
plenty of cool, clean water for drinking;
second, plenty of feed. the variety of.
which should be changed occasionally,
such as oats, buckwheat, Indian meal,
corn, soaked bread, etc. ; third, "a bed of
wood ashes, sand, or dust, in which the
hen can roll and free herself from YER
min. These three things should be un-
der a shed, so as to be available in all
weathers. The hen will hatch out
almost invariably every egg. If a large
hen, she should have not over thirteen
eggs placed under her, but in most cases
eleven eggs are ample. Let her remain
on the nest as many days as possible
after the eggs are hatched, and put food
and water by her. When at last she is
determined to leave the nest with the
young chicks, put the hen in a good
board floor coop in a dry place. Have
n cup for water, small and high, so that
the chicks cannot get into it and wet
their feet, feed them on corn meal
mixed with scalding water, and each
day mash an onion with your heel in
front of the coop, or else, say once or
twice week, mix red pepper in the
meal The object of the onion or pep
per is to keep them clear of the pips.
gapes, and kindred diseases. Never
allow the chicks to get damp feet, for
this causes nine tenths of the chicks to
meet with premature death and an un-
timely grave. Therefore have a board
to put up in front of the coop at night,
which must not be removed until the
dew is off the grass in the morning.

THE HIGHWAY COW.

The hue of her hide was dusky brown,
Her body was lean and her neck was slim
One horn turned up and the other turnet

She was keen Of vision and long OF limb
With Roman nose and short stump tail
And RIBS like the hoops OF home-mad.

Many mark did her body bear,
She had been q target for all thing:
known;
On many scar the dusky hair
Would grow no more where it once had
grown;
Many passionate, parting shot
Had left on her lasting spot.
Many and many well-aimed stone,
Many brickbat of good size,
And many cudgel swiftly thrown
Had brought the tears to her loving eyes,
Or had bounded off from her bony back
With a noise like that of a rifle crack.
Many day she had passed in the pound
For helping herself to her neighbours
corn;
Many cowsrdy cur and hound
Had been transfxed on her crumpled horn;
Many teapot and old tin pail
Had the farmer boys tied to her timeworn
tail.
Old Deacon Gray was good old man,
Though sometimes tempted to bs profaae
When many weary mile he ran
To drive her out of the growing grain;
Al H. II.
To get her fill and get away.
She knew when the deacon went to town;
She watched him wisely a. he went by;
He never passed her without frowR
And an angry gleam in each angry eye;
He would crack his whip in a surly way,
And drive along in his one-hoss shay.
Then at his homestead she loved to call,
Lifting his bars with crumpled horn,
Nimbly scaling the garden wall,
Helping herself to his standing corn,
Eating his cabbages one by one,
Hurrying home when her work was done.
His human passions were quick to rise,
And riding forth with a savage cry,
With fury blazing from both his eyes.
As lightnings flash from the summer sky;
Redder and redder his face woul grow,
And after the creature he would go.
Over the garden, round and round,
Breaking his pear and apple trees,
Tramping his melons into the ground,
Overturning his hive of bees,
Leaving him angry and badly stung,
Wishing the old cows neck was wrung.
The moses grew on the garden wal,
The years went by with their work and
ply,
The boys in the village grew strong and tall,
And the gray haired farmers passed away,
One by one as the red leaves fall;
But the highway COW outiived them all

No notable changes are probable for the
next twenty four hours in this section.
Reports yesterday showed a well devel-
opcd storm center to be located over

To this area Of low pressure is due the
high sontherly winds of Thursday. the
westerly Of Friday and the northwesterly
Of yesterday, which blew with great r gu
larity and attained IL maximum velocity
Of thirty. six miles. The law governing
these winds is that they ahcnys blow to-

is north OF the place of observation, OF
backing to the north, if it is south of it.
The storm is well nigh past US now, and

that rain has fallen everywhere within its
