THE ROMAN MARRIAGE.
How the Suptial Rites Were Carried oat
 in Ancient Italy.


 in Ancient Italy.
 Independent of the legal forms thare were the social observances of mar riage, which were the same whatever was the legal ceremony chosen. At nightfall, when the star of Venus be- gan to shine, the bride was fetched from. her fathers house. She wast dressed in q white robe. a symbol of her virgin purity, bound round the waist with wo0ler sash; her hair was plaited n six tresses after those of the vestal virgins; on her head she wore a lame-cOlored vail and a fresh wreath of the sacred verbena, for the wife was priestess in her family. Under the protection of Juno DOmi- duca Ghe home leader) she passed through the streets, accompanied by her friends, and lighted on her way with torches. By her side walked young boy, carrying an open basket in which there lay hank of wool, q distatf and a spindle, for spinning was the great duty of the Roman matron of the Republic. To be good spinner was a gem in her crow of virtues, by the side of chastity and frugality, and the emblems of this occupation were held in honor, even at the times when the chosen pursuits of women were very different Arriving at the door of her new home she found it wreathed with flowers in honor of the festive f l.. 4. |. I. tillets of wool and anointed them with oil as symbol, it would seem, of fertility. She was then lifted over the threshold, a custom in which we may see survival of the time when wives were habitually stolen from neighbor- ing tribes and carried by force to their husbands $ house. In the atrium the bridegroom received her, handed to her a key as the sign of her rule in the house, and offered her fire and water 10 represent the nccessaries of life which were at her disposal. An- swering to tho fixed formula in which he addressed her, asking who she was. she replied: Where you are Caius there 1 am Gaia, as we might say: Your people shall be my people. your house my house, and your life my life. " The pair then sat side by side on two chairs covered with the fleece of a sheep and the priest joined their hands. The marriage contract, fixing the amount of the dowry and the mode of it's administration, was then signed and q banquet followed, during which five wax candles were burned, while from the walls the waXen masks of the husbands ancestors, deeked for the occasion with flowers, looked down from their open eupboaris with ap- proyal. -Nati onal Review.

LOVELY WOMAN'S ERA.
Feminine Might Is Not in Force. h,
 So'eIy In Example.

Feminine Might Is Not in Force, but
 So'eiy m Example.
 Each year the dividing line between man and woman's work grows nar- rover, and we hear less and less of ''woman's s sphere, and what she may or may not do. By her extraordinary strides, one might say, during the last ten years, woman has become a recoo- nized factor Tn the world beyond the cradle and the hearth. This may in truth be termed the woman's era. A woman's work to-day is exactly what she can undertake and do-iust what she is capable Of and fitted for.
 Though women encroach more and more on mans domain, they should bend their energies, not to the filling of men's places, but to the making of business records as women, doing their work, not like men, but better, and with greater patience and in- tegrity, because they are women Thcre is some truth in the charge that business women sometimes grow brusque and self-asscrtive like men. A long fight with the business meth ods of men now and then develops this spirit in d woman. Sometimes a woman adopts this manner of mas .euline goodfelIow5hip and indepcnd- ence, with vague idea that men will, in some manner, be moro im- pressed with her and entertain greater respect for her ability. This is q great mistake. An effem- mate man and masculine woman are social and business abominations. They are carieaturcs having either inherited or acquired characteristics which belong to neither men or women. Business assoeia- tion and diligent= =p9actice may enable a woman to raise her voice. walk with an independent strut, and meet men in hail-fellow sort of d fashion, but her painfully cquiecd accomplishment can serve only one purpose-that of making her a fair average failure aa round.
 Every thing that a woman may do while maintaining her seli-respect is woman's work. Ii a woman is physie- ally strong, and without other ties CT obligations, let her break on q railroad train, or pilot an ocean steamer if she will She may follow any profession Or trade. That one woman is making, money as q carpenter and another as a blacksmith sceties the questions Of suitability in these occupations. In all Ter work. however, let her pre- serve the womaa's characteristics. Let her set an example to men in theiI' rough-and-tumbIe greeaiaes5 by gen tier and more honest business methods Leave braggadoeia. cheating and swindliag to men. Let smoothuess, courtesy and sincerity characterize the business methods of woman.
 Woman.s might l. not in force. It is in example She can not compel, but she can always lead. To do as men do may seem the brave way. but to remember that she is q lady before she is Q business woman would insure to woman her best success, and help to acquit the working Of the oft-times-trnthful charge of offensive m&5culinity Washington Post.

HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

Tine earliest lima beans should be left to dry on a few vines to be gathe ed for seed next year.
 One advantage to be derived from mulching small fruit strawberries, etc, is that it keeps them back in the spring and there is less danger from frosts.
 The tomato season can be pro- longed if perfectly green ones are carefully p cked and placed on dark shelf. They will ripen thoroughly, and be sweet favored.
 -Beets, carrots and parsnips should not be stored until the weather be- comes quite cool All root crops can endure a slight frost and keep best when stored late in the season.
 It is stated by an experienced market gardener that the liberal use of wood ashes, well narrowed in, is the best rem sdy against ravages of the onion maegot and cut-worm.
 A very profitable means of utiliz- ing house-slops and the water used on wash-day is to put them on the gar den. Such plants as asparagus and rhubafb require plenty of moisture to make a rapid growth. and these fluids furnish both moisture and plant-food in it's most available form.
 Pune Pudding - Stew one-half pound of the best French prunes very soft. remove the stones and break them up fine, add one-hatf cup of powdered sugar or less as needed; beat stiff the whites of six eggs, and stir lightly into the fruit. put in basin and bake fifteen minutes; eat cold with whipped cream or custard sauce.
 .-Before hard fr05ts, the celery should be transferred to tie cellar. Pack the roots ill wet sand. setting tho punches close together in box deep enough to contain them entire If the celery is not cut too close, the roots will throw out tender shoots toward spring. and will furnish you with . several =messes. kaep the sand wet, but do not wet the tops.
 In preparing ripe tomatoes to be eaten raw, they should be kept cool and sliced just before sending to tho table. Nc vinegar should be put oa them uatiI they are ready 10 b. eaten, as the acid in the vinegar softens the tomato if allowed to stand even a short time. Salt will draw the juices out and spells the flavor also if it Is put on any length of time before they arc eaten.-Falm and Home
 Graham Muffins-Take one and a half teacupfuls each of Graham flour, O. the entire wheat four and SOIL milk, one teaspoonful salt, and rounded teaspoonful of soda Dis solve the latter in little boiling water before stirring it into the milk; add the meal and salt, stir well to. gether, and pour into hot, greased gem pans. Bake fifteen or twenty minutes in q quick oven.
 It requires only few red raspber. ry plants to afford large supply of fruit, and the plants quickly become very thick in the rows. The wood of the old canes is cut out during the winter and the new canes topped off in the spring, To have large, we'll favored raspberries use plenty of ma nure around the canes, and once a year give them an application of wood ashes. An occasional picking of fruit may be made until frost, as the canes bear for much longer period than the regular period of harvesting the fruit. The better the cultivation and the richer the soil the larger the fruit.

Practical Suggestions on Variety of
 Timely Topic,.
 In a good and well-cared-for soil, the quince will bear liberally the fourth year
 If late weeds start up in the newly set strawberry bed, pull them out and keep them from going to seed
 A little pruning is very important but careless pruning is injurious; hence good care must be taken
 A good way of protecting peach trees is to mulch thoroughly as far out as the branches extend. Use bagasse or old wheat straw.
 Better let the stock eat the lower grades of fruit than to send to market and sell at prices usually received
 While cuttings can be planted out either in the spring or fall, as rule they should always be prepared in the 1 fall.
 A failure to get strong, vigorous strawberry plants is often the cause of failure to get q good crop of berries
 Flowing in the fall is a good remedy i
 In digging the potatoes select the seed for next year from the hills that yield the best, and pick out good medium-sized tubefs; store by them selves.
 Clearing up the garden and orchard in the fall will aid to get rid of insect pests by destroying their harboring places. Unless protected large num- =bers of them can not4iyc through the winter.
 In pruning cut close. Leaving long knots or stubs is ansightly and injuri. ons, while it i5 very little fl any say- ing in work.
 If trees or plants are Set out wbiIo the sol is dry care must be taken to keep the roots moist and to water regularly until there is a good soaking rain.
 Before investing too largely in fruit growing ascertain what varieties your soil is best adapted to and give them the preference The kind of soil as well as the market must always be considered in fruit culture.
 Pruning when the tree is dormant tends to impart yigor, while pruning while in leaf or while the plant is growing checks the growth. Hence tie condition of the tree should be considered, and weak, feeble tree never be pruned while growing.
 When it can be prepared otherwise. it is never q good plan to set oat young trees of any kind in grass sod The plants and roots seem to choke the trees so that geod growth can not be made.
 If Il good quality of fruit is to be grown care should be taken 10 give the trees plenty of room and in plant ing out the orchard allowance should always be made for the future growth of the teees.
 Do not seed the orchard down until the soil has been made rich by the ap- plication of manure Applying ma- nuee on plowcd land and then working well into the soil will insure the best results in building up the fertility.
 In the fall is a good time to set out the asparagus plants in q permanent bed Make the rows at least two feet ! apart in the TOW; it will always bo found best to give the plants plenty of room.
 The greater the distance from mar- ket, the earlier the pears and peaches should be picked for shipment It is a very important item to have them ready for sale in as attractive com dition as possible.-St, Louis Re- public.
