THE HUSBANDS BAD MANNERS.
They Are Too Frequently the Cause Of
Many q wife's Heartache.

Many a wife's Heartache.
A friend was spending the day with
me the other day, and while she was here
our pastor called. After he left the friend
said; "Did you ever notice with what re-
spect Mr., Conrad speaks Of his wife, and
how courteously he treats her at all
times?' nodded assent and my friend
went on:
II suppose my husband is as good a
man as ever lived, but his mother did not
train him to be courteous to ladies. His
sisters were his slaves, and thereby he is
spoiled as husband. ! wish l could
train several hundred boys to be hus-
bands for the next generation. Do you
suppose they'd consider it their preroga-
tive to drive the girls out of the easiest
chair, take the sunniest corner of the
room, the best place by the light, throw
books, papers or slippers down for some
one to put away, grow up with the idea
that a wife must be a valet and the rest
of the household stand respectfully by
to obey orders? You smile, but this is
anything but subject to laugh over.
81 really believe that husbands never
think how their unkind ways hurt.
They don't realize the difference to us,
for instance, in their manner when they
come to dinner. All day the wife has
been alone with the children and serv-
ants, and is more hungry for a kind word
from her husband than an epicurean
feast. He comes in just as the dinner

ready on time the husband says.
Couldn't he have saved the heart stab
by saying:
"'That's a pleasant sound to hungry
fellow and what binders him from add
ing, what would be the milk and honey
to weary soul all the rest of the day
nay, all the rest of her life-'You are a
good wife, Cornelia.' And if dinner is
not quite ready why need he say, 'Oi
course not; never is In working mot

A Strange Mark.


James Rothermel, who lives in Fayette
county, this state. has strange birth
mark which makes him an object of su-
perstitious regard among his neighbors.
According to correspondent Of The
Pittsburg Post on the back of Rothermels
head, just below and little to the right
of the base of the brain, is a small ex-
crescence, blush in color and crescent
shaped. The moment the moon begins
to turn the first quarter of her pole the
mark begins to undergo startling
change. Its blush color turns to a bril-
liant red, and the flesh below it and ex-
tending diagonally across his neck to the
left shoulder begins to swell. As the
moon grows older the birth mark gets
redder and redder, and the flesh swells
more and more, until, when the moon
has reached its full" the crescent
shaped mark is of fiery scarlet. and the
flesh extending from the mark to the left
shoulder has swollen into a horn like
roll, two or three inches in thickness at
the largest point, and gradually tapering
to point near the left shoulder.
AS the moon gradually begins to wane,
in like manner the scarlet of the crescent
shaped mark becomes less fiery, the horn
like roll across the neck to decrease in
size, until when the moon is dark again
there is nothing to be seen but the small
blush crescent shaped mark. For over
twenty-eight years these changes have
followed monthly with the moons
phases; and SO marked are they and SC
regular that Rothermel can tell by sim
ply placing his hand on the back of his
neck exactly what stage the moon is in

The Wet season.

In many parts Of the country, and
more particularly in the West, the early
part OF the season was quite dry-so
much 80 as To create some uneasiness rs
to the outlook for spring crops. But for
the last few weeks the rainfall every
where has apparently been ample, and
we hear no complaint from any point OF
Ia lack OF moisture. Here In the upper
Ohio valley rain has been exceSsivesince
early in May, and has been abundant
throughout the season. Now that the
middle Of June Is at hand farmers would
be glad to have a suspension OF showers,
as sunshine is more needed than any
thing else. An interval Of twenty.four
hours without rain has for some time
been exceptional, andearly harvest crops
cannot be well matured unless o change
In this particular should take place.

uOFN anu etupN,
There are some curious facts about the
disposition Of horses to lie down. To a
Woodworking horse repose is as almost
great a necessity as good food, but tired
as he may be he is often shy about lying
down, even when q nice clean bed OF
straw Is provided for him. The writer
once rode a mare seventy miles in a sin.
gle day. The stable In which she was
put for the night was as comfortable in
every way as It could be made, yet she
stood the whole nightthrough. She ate
her oats and hay and then went to sleep,
leaning forward with her breast against
the manger. There are horses that have
never been known to lie down, and II
they have ever done so II was only for q
short time, and at an hour when they
were not likely to be seen. No marks
have aver been discovered upon their
coats which wouldindicate that they had
been lying down. A horse Is recalled
now that occupied for fifteen years, from
the time he was two years old, the first
stall in grandfather's stable. Up to the
hour he died no one had ever seen him
lying down, and several times after
weafisome drives Of about eight or ten
hours, a watch was placed on him TO see
II during the night he would lie down;
but he was never caught in that posi-
ton, and he could not be tempted to re-
cline by the sweetest and cleanest OF bed
ding. He died literally upon his feet.
He was taken sick, and in giving him a
drench from a~long.neCked bottle, with
his head pulled up TO a beam, he sud-
denly fell back and expired.
Unless q horse lies down regularly
his rest cannot be complete, and his
Joints and slnews stifEen; and, while II is
true that horses that sleep in a standing
position continue TO work for many
years, 1t Is equally true that they would
continue 10 work for many years longer,
and perform their work much better, il
they rested naturally. Young horses
from a country stable may refuse to lie
down when put into q stable in town,
and the habit may become confirmed
unless inducements are offered. Horses
can be taught to lie down, and they can
also be taught to be as neat and clearly
In their habits as individuals.

ed with q disease that superinduces
fever to lie down. They will stand up
until nature becomes completely ex.

tain them. They have an instinct which
teaches them II they lie down II may be
difficult for them 10 get upon their feet

and his inability 10 communicate the

AGRICULTURAL NOTES,
Matters Of Interest to me IntsiligenpsFs
Farmer Readerl,
FaEm IpmaRlty Eron plla.lsF,

Farm Immunity From Disaster,
National s0ekNaH.
Many kinds Of disasters and fatalities
attend the farmer, His liability to acci-
dent Is such that accident insurance
companies place him among their most
dangerous risks, Runaway teams, har-
yesting machines, threshers, thunder
bolts and many other things, seem to be
productive Of Observation-Disclosures
OF fatality among farmers; while, not
WithStanding their apparent healthy
surrounding, they are liable tosickness
a. any other class OF people. UntoWard
seasons often interfere with their crops,
too, and blight and insect pests stand
ever ready TO add to his misfortune, In,
deed, in view Of all this, many rural
people are inclined 70 think the farmers
lot the hardest and most dangerous OIL
all.
But there Is another aspect from which
the position OF the farmer sto be viewed,
He enjoys q comparative security from
pestilence which his city friend would
give much To feel, He never finds him
self in the midst ola community all oil
which has been swept by fire and ruin,
He Is never compelled TO hold up his
hands and cry for bread along with
thousands OF others whose sutferings he
cannot alleviate, There Is 70 him moth
ing akin TO a Johnstown experience
where apopulous neighborhood Is in q
few minutes converted into agraveyard
where not only is home swept away and
family gone, hut all traces OF his posses
sions Is oblIterated, There are many
other things OF this kind chropicled In
the public prints TO which farming com
munities arc comparative strangers, Fol
security OF possessions and personal
safety the farm Is the peer OF any othei
place In the world.
