The May number of Bjlford's
Magazine &C ntains its customary
varied assortment of interesting
reading. The opening article, ga
Familiar Mystery by James Nc
Carroll, deals with theory of
dreams, and with occultism, and lis
burden appears to be that there
are more things in heaven and earth
than are dreamt of in the philoso-
ply of ordinary men. Preston
Connolly deals with the Negro ques
ton In the South; and James A i.
Mcknight, an ex-Consul, gives an
account of the abuses of the Amer
lean Consular service and sug-
gests u remedy. The complete
novel, "The Tribulatious of one
Etenezer Meeker," by Elizabeth
Cummings, is very clever and re-
alistic dialect story, in which love
relie ion, Christian science or faith
cure, crime and remorse are very
happily intermingled. There are,
pCblONS, suiCC tACeIltnL ohOib ooO
ries: "Doctor Merlvale," by Chas.
Z. Sherman; "Jen," by w. H. S.
Atkinson; and IAN Episode of
"Sixty- FOUR" by Gee Ess. j. W.
Watson contributes readable
sketch about "Pirater on Broaa-
way" The poetry includes some
vigorous lines on "International
Copyright" by Edgar Fawcett; all
so "The Trouba6our." graceful
bit of society verse by Kate B.
Sherwood. The pressing Negro
question is also dealt with in the
editorial department by Donn Pr
att, who furthermore discusses, in
his usual brilliant style, "The Con-
dl,ion of PARTIES" "More of Our
Diplomacy" and "The Kingdom OF
Satan" The customary Book Re-

4 joke on His Mama.

The New Haven Palladium says
A capital sto,y is being told Off
lad Of 3 summers who had mastered
the German languages one winter
while separated from his mother.
He was comforting with his father
as to how to surprise and deligh,
his mother on the acquaintance o.
the new tongue, and brilliant
thought struck the young man.
"rll say my prayers in German
that'll surprise her, papar."
The father admitted this was
an original way, but decided that i
was hardly proper. The hey pleaded
but the father, after almost giving
in to the plan, finally vetoed it once
for all on the ground of irreverence
This disguised the s year old, auC
he said:
"You don't seem to understand
papa. 1t isn't joke on God; it,
on mama"

HOaU to Rule a Mnf1.

Mrs. Frank Leslie was married
once herself, AMI has hal hundreds
of opportunities to get married
agaln. Since she sold out her grest
printing establisb .nea, sue has de-
vo;'d a good portion of her time to
writing charming letters based on
her own experience. Here is some
advice she gives on the use of anger
and tears as factors in the great art
of controlling husbands:
We'll, then, the woman who scolde,
the woman who argues each point
to the bitter en1, the woman who
always will have the last word, the
woman who tries in any fashlol to
meet MN on his own ground,
stands to lose in the fight ard is a
very foolish woman.
Not thai good, honest FL of an
ger on righteous occasion, outspok
en- genuine, brave and free from all
taunting or meanness, ia not effect
i've aEd useful, but it must be very
rare, very well controlled, and must
clear of, when its object is attain
ed, into genuine sunshine, never
dwindling and muttering Oft IN
sulky resentment. A brave manly
man is at once appalled,, shocked
and piqued by woman's anger OF
the right sort. He feels that it is
something pretty serious TO encoun
ter, and he doesn't wish to see 1t
again; he feels that his offense must
have been really very bad to arouse
such a tempest in those ordinarily
sunny skies; he is a good deal
ashamed of himself to have wrought
such havoc in the gentle nature he
feels himself bound To shelter and
protect. Bat here is a peculiar
danger Of verifying the homely pro.
verb about familiarity. 1t is kind
of weapon to use more than two or
three times during the whole story
of that woman's itfuence upon that
man, be it the story Of u lifetime or
the story of year. And what is
said Of tears: once 10 great while,
if they are honest and genuine, II
the occasion warrants ind ia prop
erly used, a good shower Of tears
may do the work of deluge; but
again, they must have an ending as
well as a beginning, and they must
be effaced both literally and meta
phorically as soon as possible. Nc
man will stand either anger or tears
for long or often. and quickly as
serts some of his own worst quail
ties against either If frequently re.
peated.

HotO to Handle Kicking Cous


A correspondent of one of our ex
changes says: Speaking of blows
makes me think of the milk stool
blows which fall on the ribs of cows
il they yield to the impulse to kick
careless mixer l have seen gen
tie cows spoiled by pounding, but
have never seen kicker cured by
it. Ii any horned animal kicks you
try to make it think you like to he
kicked. Kind treatment and the
entire ignoring of kick from a cow
will generally cure. Animals kick
because they are afraid of you and
can't get out of your way. Con
vince them that you won't hurt
them under any circumstances and
the cause for kicking is removed.
For an unsafe or nervous COW, how
ever, use "A rope; about three
Fights rope is the best Tie good
snap to one end and ring to the
other and have it about two or two
and halt feet long over all Pass
the rope around the left hind leg
just above the gambrel joint, give
il one twist between the legs aud
then snap the ends together outside
of the right leg, and your cow is
harmless. The more she is inclined
to kick the tighter the rope may be
twisted. Now keep this rope hang
ing just behind the kicker and you
never need whip her.

annual Fruit Py0nti1,1.

Every land owner, from the one
whs has only quarter-acre village
lot to she farmer who occupies
thousand-aere farm, should nave
constant and yearly supply Of fresh
fruit f ,rshis table the year round
All that is needed Is an intelligent
selection of kinds and varieties,
and moderate amount
of care anu labor. The man who
plants only once ia ten or tsenty
years, and gives no attention be-
tween, will be sure to fail. The
planting Should be made every
year with few choice kinds. This
properly done will keep up con-
slant supply, and the yearly atten-
ton and the continued ripening OF
Dew sorts every year will add TO
the interest and keep up fresh
knowledge OF the best kinds. Thee
are few newly-introduced fruits
of value, BUTT is best TO plant
proved standard varieties. The
owner may purchase annually at a
nursery or raise O small nursery of
his own. Now is the time to be-
gin such a system.
The Times-Democrat would add
to the above advice, which is given
by the country gentleman, to con-
suit tie horticultural notes which
appear in our weekly agricultur al
column, selecting only such varie-
ties of fruit which appear to do well
and giving a preference always to
those of Southern or Oriental
origin
