MARRIAGE OF CHILDREN.
An Evil That VIII Continue Until Parents
Assert Their Authority.

assert In0r AutnOriIy. --.---.
Recently boy and girl from Ohio
wandered around for four days
and visited three States en-
deavoring to find some one who would
marry them regardless of the fact thai
neither was of actual marriageabls
age. Their parents had, of course
objected. but the boy found full-growr
men willing to aid HIM in scheme te
run away with the girl, ard the girl
had the most active assistance ir
avoiding the parental vigilance Of
some full-grown women, who sym.
pathized with her probably because
they had no little girls of their own tc
misguide in most important affair Of
life. This boy and girl, after being
thus aided to escape, tried West Vir
ginia and Pennsylvania, but failed te
get license to marry. Then they re-
turned to Ohio and could not get any
one to marry them there. In desper-
alton the boy telegraphed for his
fathers consent. which he didn't get,
and the girl brother turned up and
did her the good service to take he1
home
The failure of these children to get
married is very discouraging to them
and to those who allotted them, but il
is most encouraging TO society. 1t is
creditable that in three States they did
not succeed in finding any one willing
TO aid in making them miserable for
life, but they had the good fortune not
to strike New Jersey. If a boy was to
be sent 10 school the matter would be
important enough to employ the fam
lily Judgment; if he wanted to buy a
shotgun or dog or suit of clothes,
he would get the advice Of his friends;
but when he starts out to get married
he generally displays very small dis
position to consult either his n
Judgment OF that of any body else
who has any sense to spare. If the
girl wanted to buy new spring hat
all her friends would be called to con-
suit about the color of the ribbons,
and they would warn her against this
or that; but when she wants to dispose
of herself for life against her parents
wishes her friends warn her against
nothing. They turn in and help her
to escape from home and plunge into
every possible misery.
These things have been done time
and time again, and they will continue
to be done, although there are enough
horrible examples known to every
body to be a sufficient warming 1t is
useless to moralize on such things.
The responsibility is upon those who
are older. Girls. while still playing
with their dolls, are made to believe
that getting married is the whole OF
life. There are grown women who
devote themselvss to teaching such
things. who assume the responsibility
of making matches regardless of the
character and fitness of the parties,
and they do it with less concern for
the result than they would have in
matching yard Of ribbon, where they
would exact perfect harmony. The
match makers make the mistakes and
children have to suffer the conse-
quences. This will continue to be SC
until all children learn that their best
friends are their parents. - PbitGdeI.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
How Economical Women Can Save Money

HOW economical Women Gan save NONE!
Every Day.
Do not let the clothes-line hang on
all week in wind and rain. When the
clothes are all in, wind it up carefully
and take it into the house. A good
many devices are now employed to dc
away with the necessity of having to
put out and take in the clothes-line
each week. One is little box with a
pointed roof like bird house. with 6
roller attached to a crank or handle or
the outside and fitted to a cog wheel
within. 1t is then but the work
of a few minutes to wind it up in its
inclosure. where it is protected from
rain or snow. Others use heavy gall
vaniAed wire which. when once
stretched, needs no attention as it will
never rust, stretch or sag as rope lines
do. Have plenty of clothes pins, they
cost but trife. and in muddy or ex.
posed places are a necessity.
Keep sharp the knives used for cut
ting meat and bread and for peeling
vegetables. We have been in families
where great deal of time was lost in
performing all these operations be-
cause there was not sharp knife to
be found in the house. The same is
true of lamp scissors and the family
scissors and shears. For the former
purpose discarded scissors are too often
used. The result is haggled wicks
which not only smoke the chimneys
but give very uncertain light. A
few minutes work will put both in
good condition and save no little time
and strength.
Wash fiat irons each week before
heating them, especially if they have
been used for ironing starched clothes.
Burnt starch clinging to them spoils
the best washed garments.
D, not throw away any pieces of old
ingram carpets. Very good rugs can
be made of the pieces which we are
apt to regard as entirely useless.
There are rug making establishments
where, for seventy-fve cents a square
yard, the unsightly pieces are trans
formed into rugs Of all sizes, from two
yards square to as small as desired.
They are nicely finished with fringe
and striped border and are almost
as heavy and firm as Turkish mats.
Cleanse the sinks and drains by
pouring down them plentiful supply
of copperas water 1t is inexpensive
and prevents their being coated and
choked with grease.
Cut warm bread with hot knife
if you would avoid its becoming
clammy. The pieces should be laid
on a napkin as cut.
To remove fruit stain from handker-
chiefs. aprons. ETC.. keep on hand a
solution of chloride of lime, made of
four ounces of the chloride to a
quart of water. Shake it we'll. al
low the dregs to settle. and wet the
stains with the clear liquid. Rinse
the cloth well before applying soap or
it will become stiffin drying. -Prairie

FACTS FOR FARMERS,

| Too much corn or cornmeal causes
chicken cholera.
With many varieties of trees for
shelter, shade or ornament the i'm
portant item is to get them fairly
rooted.
"A farmer with quantities of ex-
perience says: ''Of all the kinds of
cattle food ever grew sweet fodder
corn is the best"
The farmer who feeds sour swill
to his swine seldom realizes that it
causes arrangement of the digestive
organs and gives them diarrhea.
Plant corn and you will get corn;
plant thistIes and you will get thistles;
plant beer and you will get bier;
cultivate your head and you will get
ahead. - Western PloaUnaan.
Tile market for fat sheep shows
these days very clearly that the man
who remembers that carcasses as we'll
as flecces are to be sold from his tiocks
is the shepherd who is going to win.
Cool clover hay, or a variety of
grass in the pasture, will give better
results than an exclusively grain diet
to any kind of stock. 1t is the variety
OF food rather than the quality and
quantity that promotes digestion and
health.
There is danger of getting the
manure in the potato hill too strong.
1t barn manure, it should be rotted
and composted with sand months pre-
vious to placing in the hills A quart
of manure per hill is enough.
The sure way. to break hen from
egg-eating is to cut off her head. Pre-
vent the habit. if possible, by giving
nests lined with straw and large
enough for the hen to move without
breaking the eggs; also gather the
eggs daily and use artificial nest eggs.
One man of good Judgment and
large experience in conducting farm
ers' meetings will accomplish more
good by taking direction and holding
it than dozen men, or hundred.
moving without system or the requisite
knowledge. -Husbrudman
Prof E. W. Stewart, who is noted
for his experience in stock feeding,
states that one ounce. or less, of OIL
meal to q gallon of warm, sweet whey
will make it nearly equal in feeding
value to whole milk for raising calf
to three weeks old, and after that
another quarter of an ounce may be
safely added. The oil meal should be
dissolved in hot water before mixing
with that of right temperature to
feed.
1t is getting to be noticed that all
most every thing of value has been
found out by practical men. and that
about all the men of science do is to
explain the how and the why. This
is. of course, no slight service, and
should not be moderated. But it is
curious how many things once con-
sidered motions" and 'superstitions'
have turned out to have solid basis Of
truth. Rural Termaonter.
There is no waste, but saving.
in wetting the feed for cows and
horses, but it should be done in
proper manner The meal should not
be given alone and wet, as this would
be wasteful, but it should be sprinkled
over the cut and moistened fodder, to
which it adheres., The more finely the
meal is ground the better. and it is
better when bran is fed to have this
ground with the grain. The cut and
mixed feed is eaten more perfectly
than any dry feed. and is digested
more completely. In feeding in this
there is a saving of one
fourth to one third and the animals
do better

BLAINE ANDYHE SACKVILLE LET
u TER.

No man in the country will be more sur
prised this morning than James g. Blaine,
to read heletter OF Secretary Bayard in
reference to Lord sackyille's indiscretion
in answering the Anglo Californian Murch-
ison. Mr.. Blaine not being in the
secrets Of Mr.. Cleycand's administration
assumed, because nothing Of the Presi-
dents intention or action in the matter
had been made public, thatnothing would
be done, and in a speech delivered at
Albany last night he lectured Secretary
Bayard upon his duties in the case. Mr..
Blaine did not know that hours
before he had begun his speech
the President, through Secretary Bayard,
had notified Lord Sackyile that his pres
ence as Her Majesty's Minister was no
longer desirable in Washington. This
summary dismissal was forced upon the
President, as Secretary Bayard's letter
makes plain. The attention OF Lord Sauls'
bury was called TO Lord Sackyillo's indis-
crction, through Minister Phelps, in the
hope OF his immediate recall. But this not
following. and after the lapse Of three days,
this summary process was made necessary.
This, as We have said, will be a surprise to
Mr.. Blaine, because he mistook the courte-
Gus delay Of the President tor failure
OF duty. Mr.. Bayard's letter will be pre-
scented this morning in all the great dalie'
Of the country side by side with hi;
speech, which will in consequence fall nat
as stale beer. Blaine is thus bailled again

THE PRESIDENT TO SACKVILL.

THE PRESIDENT TO SACKVILLE.
The summary dismissal OF Lord Sack
vile, British Minister at Washington, by
the President is an net fully justified by
the discourtcsy shown by the diplomat in
refusing 10 make any explanation or
apology for his inJiscreet letter to Murchi-
son, OF California Every opportunity
was afforded him TO do this much
in his own vindicaton, but failing, and
Lord Salisbury also failing TO interfere,
nothing else was left the President but to
dismiss my lord" and send him his walk
ing papers. That disposcs Of Sackyille.
But there are others 10 be disposed Of,
others who may DO reached by the Fed
eral Statutes, quoted by Secretary Bayard,
for taking part in correspondence with
an agent OF foreign government with a
purpose TO influence the action OF the
government in relation TO lis dispute with
England upon the fisheries question.
These parties Including those who aided,
counsellcd and advised Murchison- arc
liable TO punishment aud should be made
an example Of. II is Of tho first import
ance that they should DO arrested, and
perhaps SackviIlc will remain long enough
in the country In his now unofficial capac
ity to help the government in running all
the parties TO the letter 10 cover. Indeed
he has already taken some steps In thii
direction on his own account, and losing
his place makes II more than ever incum
bent upon him that no make his part il
the play plain. Murchison is the maj
now wanted, Murchison and his conicd
| crates.
