member Of the reception committee
to look after delegates to the Con

| and with his usual zeal in perform
ance Of duty, he was at the noon
train yesterday, on which number
of the brethren were expected. The
"Mixed Pickle" troupe came by the
same train, and Uncle Phil rushed
up to the leader, who by the way was
not very clerical looking individual
either, and asked "are you a member
of the Conference sir?" "Confer-
ence, hi I'm a MIXED Pickle. !"
"Oh excuse me, you're not the gen

joined heartily.-Statesman.
Wrong again Cap. You are mix
ed and not the pickles. The genial
Mr.. Showers asked the gentleman "if
he was conference manY The
gentleman misunderstood the term
and thought he was asked eff he was
confidence man p Thereupon the
pickles grew hot--hotter than mus
tard-and Showers was in pickle
He however excused himself but
kept his eye upon Mr.. Pickle. Soon
q little colored boy approached him
and wanted to tote his grip. Pickle
| said he could carry it himself. The
poor boy said: sis you n conference
man, sir ~ Pickles grew hotter and
went for the boy with "get away

Misunderstanding.

That the blackberry can be successfully
grown has been practically solved By Civ
ing il due care, good cultivation and pro-
lection Prepare your soil well by giving
it liberal coating of manure. Pillow it
thoroughly and drag it till all largs lum ps
are well pulverized. Set your plants out
carefully, press the dirt around them
firmly, in rows seven feet apart, the
plants three feet apart: hoe them
well and keep the center of the rows we'll
cultivated. In the fall cover the plants
with earth. The first year you are really
laying the foundation for profitable
undertaking. and no care should be neg
looted to have each plant we'll establish
ed and in as strong and healthy condition
as possible. The second year the plants
need more care than the first year. The
wood that will grow this year is that from
which you have good reason to expect d
bountiful crop of fruit. It is necessary
to protect the growth from being broken
by the winds by placing wire on each
side of the row, the same to be supported
by stakes every sixteen or eighteen feet,
and this same wire will answer to protect
and hold your plants when loaded with
fruit, for the succeeding year.
When the new growth has reached the
height of two feet, nip the top off, and
that will cause the new growth to branch
out and form good strong branches, and
be more handy to handle, while covering
also produces more growth of wood suit
able for fruiting. In laying them down
remove small quantity of earth from
the side you wish to lay the brush and
press with foot firmly against the crown
and press the top lightly with fork.
Secure the plant after you have laid it
over by putting g few spadesful of dirt
upon it, and the next plant will lop upon
the first and by laying them down length
wise of the row, you have them in close,
compact row. After your row is down
cover the plants out of sight, but be care
full not to put too much upon them, for it
is not necessary.-C. q. Hamilton, before
Wisconsin Institute.

of them. These three are now, and have
been for over twenty years, more than
twice the size of those not treated in this
manner. These facts should lead farm
ers-each of whom consumes in his fam
lily an average Of two pigs and a beef
animal per year-to see that the bones
are not thrown away. Occasionally an
animal dies; if in simmer, it is buried
so deeply in some out-of-the-way place
that no good ever cor of it; if in WIN
ter, it is dragged off il 90 the woods and
suffered to go to decay there. 4 better
way-unless the animal died of some con-
tagious diseases TO bury the carcass in
the borse-manure heap. The heat of
that soon rots all but the bones. and
when the manure 1s removed the bones
should be stored in some safe place for
future use, together with all others that
can be picked up. Dead animals and
bones are worth at least $40 a ton for
plant food. This makes a carcass of
one thousand pounds worth $40, and that
is cheap per than commercial fertilizer can
be bought for of equal value.

Chinese Weddings.

The instances of marriage where the
Chinese bride brings her husband dot
are not sofrequent as formerly. Almost
always the wOOer in reality buys his
wife from her father. In addition to
this the parents of the girl receive from
those of her affianced more or less
valuable presents of rice, and wine and
silks Children are often betrothed at
very early age. Sometimes friends
agree even before the birth of children
that in case they are of different sexes
on reaching the proper age they shall
be married. Such agreements are re-
ligiously regarded.
On her part the maiden rises early
on her wedding morning, bathes while
a band of musicians outside discourse
alleged music, clothes herself, break
fasts on food sent by her intended
parents-in-law. She only takes few
bites, however, as it is considered a
good omen for her to eat abstemiously.
Before she takes her place in the sedan
chair it is her duty, in company with
her mother, to weep copiously. This
part of the ceremony is frequently OBJ
served even in more civilized lands
ut pIOtCcoIOl plNSNObo " WIZ
house of the bride, where the groom
awaits her at the gate.
1t is an unwritten law that everyone,
poor and rich alike, must remain stand
ing when wedding procession passes, as
it was recently the universal custom in
Italy to remove ones hat IS a funeral
went by. In China even mandarin
must observe this custom, and if he
meets the poorest wedding train, even
though he be on horseback, it is his
duty to dismount and show this honor
to the young couple.
Among strange customs and laws
that concern marriage in China may be
mentioned the regulation that per-
sons bearing the same name are
not allowed to marry. So it comes
tina, the children of two brothers can
not wed. while it is perfectly per-
Missile for the children OF two sisters
or OF brother and sister to marry if
so inclined. 1t is considered dishonor-
able to marry a widow. This only
happens among the very poor classes
with men, because it costs less to
marry a widow than maiden. with
the women ia order to receive a per-
manent means of support.
