The story is told in Boston OF a
young spend.thrift who hoped to
inherit the wealth of certain aged
but shrewd maiden aunt. She had
helped him out of more than one
hole, and when he went to her the
other day with long face and an
air OF penitence she knew what it
meant. "Been gambling again,
eh % she said. "Well, Pm willing
to pay your gambling debts again
on one condition. You must marry,
and I've got just the wife for you"
"Who is she ?" asked the nephew.
any nurse. She's forty years old,
strong, able to take care of you,
and, If you marry her, I'll do some
thing handsome for you" The up.
shot of the talk was that young
spend thrift agreed to marry the
woman if all his debts were paid
aud an income of 10000 a year
guaranteed to him. Then the old
aunt invited another nephew, No.
rs rival, to dinner, tod him of the
compact, and said that she had
made the proposal merely as a test,
and that she should refase to re.
ceive in her house a man VINO would
marry a servant for money.

No Man a Necessity.

Says an old man, moralizing in
the Atlanta Constitution: "There
is no doubt that a man is very soon
forgotten. l have thought about
it a good deal, and, and l tell you
that when a man dies he is gone.
It is painful to me to take an ac-
tive part in paying a tribute to q
distinguished friend after his death,
for | know how little it amounts
to. We talk about a mans good
example; and the influence of his
life, and the loss the country or the
State has suffered; but 1t is mere
iargon. When a man is dead he is
gone; and that is the last of
him down here. There was our
old friend, do you know he
thought the State would 90 to
wreck and ruin when he died !
Well, he is virtually forgotten, and
the State is running on just as it
did before. No, it makes no differ
ence who it is or what he has done,
when he is dead he is gone, yes,
gentlemen, when a man is dead he
IS gone ~

Pure Water for Fowls,

1t is of great importance in keep
Ing fowls in a healthy condition
that they should have access to no
water that is not pure. Leakings
from the manure heap, water from
the kitchen sink or slop hole in the
yard are all unwholesome, as is
stagnsnt water of any kind. Drink
Ing vessels should be easily &C
cessible at all times and supplied
with water that is pure and fresh.
Tin, galvanized iron or earthen
drinking vessels may be used, and
should be thoroughly cleansed and
rinsed out whenever refilled.

Laughing at Love Letters.

Why do people, old and young,
and of all sorts and conditions,
rush IN crowds to the courts and
almost travel over each others
heads to hear love letters read, and
then go home and laugh at them as
if they had found something unique
in tue WY of fun? Why do grave
men and rOber women skip all the
sensible reading in a newspaper if
it happens to contain love letter,
and, having read that, laugh at it
as if it were the latest and best of

Oughly in lOve-and not to have

Chemical Value Of Animal Manure

The real chemical value OF ami
NAL mauures, other things being
equal, is in proportion to the
nitrogen, phosphOric acid and pot
ash they contain, and the quantity
of these chemicals existing in the
manure is determined, other things
being equal, by the quantity con-
tanned in the food of the animals
making the manure. 1t will thus
be seen that there is a wide differ
ence in the value OF barn yard
manures, which will satisfactorily
account for the fact that far better
results are experienced from the
manure Of animals which have been
gwen a generous portion of nitro
genous food in rstions than from
an equal quantity from such as
have merely kept up an existence
through the winter on straw, roots,
ETC., and the superior value OF
guano and hen manure is due to
the character of the food out oil
which it has been made.

FARM and HOUSEHOLD.
Helpful Hints on Killing Weeds.

l. Plants cannot live indefinitely
deprived Of their leaves. Hence
preventing their appearance above
the surface will kill them sooner or
later.
.. Plants have greater need for
their leaves and can be more easily
killed in the growing season than
when partially dormant.
5. Cultivation in a dry time is
most injurious to weeds and bene'
fetal to crops.
4. Avoid the introduction OF
weeds in manure or hitter or from
weedy surroundings. Some gar
deners use no stable manure on
grounds they desire to keep es-
pecially clean, relying on CONNER
cial fertilizers and the blowing I'M
der of green crops.
5. After q summer crop has
fipened, instead of allowing the
land to grow up to weeds 1t is often
well to SOW rye or some other crop
to cover the ground and keep them
down.
6. Give every part of the farm
clean cultivation every few years
either with a hoed crop or, lfneces-
sary, with a fallow.
Z. 1t is often stated that cutting
weeds while in flower will kill
them. This is only reliable with
biennials, and with them only
when done so late that much OF
the seed will grow.
s. If the ground is kept we'll oc-
cupied with other crops weeds will
give much less trouble, Keep
meadows and roadsides we'll seeded
aud pillow land cultivated, except
when shaded by crops.

AS he is not generally inclined to
self contemplation, save in the
philosophical sense, she naturally
asked what was the trouble.
