Some Remarks Apropoe to Marriage.

At what point in courtship is man privileged
to withdraw without paying damages? He may ask
a woman to marry him and discover in the very
manner of her consent that she does not love him.
Suppose he desires to retreat from what seems to
him loveless engagement? Have the four-ply
steel hooks of the law already taken hold OF him,
or can he escape scathless? Where is the danger
point?-New York World.

enumerated, and that is the function of cooking.
Some animals do build their habitations; the
beaver, for instance. The fox constructs his hole,
the hog his bed, the mole digs his underground
roadway, the ant builds cities, roads and fortica
tons, birds build their nests. 1t is said that in
times of great drouth the prairie dog digs deep
wells to get water, and constructs steps by which
to descend and ascend easily; but no animal, n-s
sect or bird ever was known to cook its food. Thus
the cooking function is exclusively human and
falls on woman. As far back as history or trad-
ton go, women have been the cooks of the race
Suppose women turn the tables on Mr.. Allen and
put their side of the argument in sylogistc shape,
thus:
1t is human to cook
Women cook.
Women are human.
Or thus:
1t is human to cook
Men do not cook.
Men are not human.
Is not this fully as biological as Mr. Aliens
premises and deductions? Should he object that
some men cook, it may be replied that some wom-
en- manufacture and till the soil.
Cali the vast gans,' says Mr.. Allen, (which
our race has made in its progress toward civiiza-
ton, have been made by men. So far as women
share in these gains, they share, in virtue of being
their fathers daughters, not IN virtue of being
their mothers. There are women, admit, who
inherit much of male faculty Chat is, of the hui
man part of the race), and some follow male avo-
cations, but by so doing they unsex themselves
Nothing can be more modest than this, and if
modesty supreme and towering to-the-skymod-
esty, be also distinctly human function, then the
immense preponderance of this quality found in
the males of our kind Gf Mr.. Allen is fair sam
ple) will furnish additional evidence that men pos
sess an UNNECESSARILY greater share of the human
than women. In Mr.. Aliens next biological
treatise on this subject, he should not forget to
put forward the plea of modesty to sustain his po-
sition regarding the superiority of men over
women. ELIZABETH A. MERRIwETHER.

LANDSCAPE GARDENING.

The following extract from paper
contributed to recent number of
VSck's Magazine by Prof. Mccarthy,
of the N. G. Experiment Station, may
be of interest to those who are con-
templating the improvement of their
lands:
$50 extensive is the range of
climate, soil and surroundings in our
country that no useful list of the
best trees can be gwen for general
use. There are, however, some excel
lent rules of general application, which
should be observed by all who plant
for beauty, healthfulDess and pleasure.
Frank j. Scott, in his excellent work,
Beautiful Homes, gives the following
six rules:
l. Preserve in one or more places,
according to the size and form of the
yard, the greatest length of unbroken
lawn that the space will admit Of.
2. Plant between radiating lines
from the house to the outside of the
yard, so as to leave open lines of view W
from the principal windows and en-,
trance porca. Leave open vistas to-
wards any point of particular interest
3. Plant the larger trees and shrubs
farthest from the center of the lawn,
so that the smaller may be seen to ad-
vantage in front of them.
4. In small yards plant no trees
that attain great size.
5. In adding to groups plant near
the saliant points rather than in bays
or openings
6. Shrubs which rest upon the lawn
should not be planted nearer than ten
feet from the front fence, unless they
are intended to form a continuous
screen of foliage
To these six good rules few may
be added, viz:
Z. Plant no trees of any kind with
in twenty feet of the house.
s. Plant no trees not perfectly har-
dy in your neighborhood.
9. Do not mix up without system
trees of widely different appearance,
as magnolias and pines.

are branded with infamy, did not sell

THE TRAITOR
The time has come when we shall
see who are men among us and who
are traitors, and whenever we find
the Judas enforce the law. See Ritual,
page 4, lines 10 to II, and enforce a
strict observance of their purport,
and we will avoid trouble.
Brethren, remem ber that any viola
ton of the constitution forever brings
with it more or less trouble; leniency
on this line will bring disaster, If
you have few discordant elements
in your Alliance, however prominent
they may be, open the back door and
let them out quick. Every farmer is

them would sell you for smile or a

poor and poorer, until he can see
more mortgage before him than any
thing else
WHY do we see the farmers OF the
country, North, South, East and West,
but especially in the South and West,
uniting in organizations for mutual
protection, to try to protect themselves
and lift their industry up from the
mire into which it has been dragged ?
Look at these figures, look at the de-
pressed and poorly requited farming
industry throughout the country and
the answer is given. He is limited by
discriminating legislation to sell in the
lowest market and compelled by that
same legislation to buy in the highest
market, being thus caught at both
ends of the road and victimlzed at
both for the benefit of some one else,
and robbed in the name of the Gin

whose benefit he sweats, tolls, lives

can be prosperous, however much
politicians or political manipulators or
their hirelings or dupes may pretend
to the contrary. a
The cooperation of the Farmers
Alliance has saved to the farmers of
America $5,OOO,OOO on twine, and
$2,52O,OOO on bagging during the
past year, besides the consumers are
now saving $40 on each and every
wagon bought, $40 on each buggy,
$40 on each binder, $40 on each
mower, 40 per cent. on sewing ma
chimes, and with equal results on
every line of machinery used by the
farmers, the amount will exceed $lO,-
600, 900 annually.
