Sensation at "a wedding.

A stunning and decidedly sensational
wedding occurred in Odessa the other
day. Marc Pogorezly led his blushing
bride to the altar. While the Russian
priest, or pope, us he is called, was pres
pairing to perform the ceremony. Marc
went out to get a drink, saying that no
would return in a few moments. In his
absence, however, u handsome young
stranger approached the bride and Of
fered himself as substitute. She i'm
mediatelyaccepted him, and the pope,
who was half drunk, never noJiced the
change. The ceremony was performed.
Just then Marc reappeared, refreshed
and ready for matrimony. But whom
he found out what had happened he
proceeded at once to paint the church
red. He thrashed the bridegroom,
slapped the bride, knocked down the
father-in-law, punched the pope, and
kicked the mother-in-law. Ho was ar
rested; but as the case involves q qnes-
tion Of ecclesiastical law, it WAS referred
TO the Gear, the bead Of the church. =

EMERSON,S lNEIuENCE.

and Grow in Moral Beauty.
II has been objected to Emerson that
he Is altogether too refined and lofty
for the daily uses of men; that the ideal
which he insists on is unrealizable.
That he was sane and sensible in his
own life is we'll known; that he kept
aloof from visionary associations and
had sound counsel where public affairs
of Importance were concerned is we'll
known; but it is still proclaimed that
his writings are not concrete and prac-
tical enough for the world rs IL is con-
stituted, and on this account are curious
rather than useful, species of intel
lectual fireworks, dazzling, but of little
substantial value. That this is all
error might be npprehended by suppos-
ing such a person as Emerson in any
given community going around and.
with such strains as we find in his
books, animating, kindling and com
forting, making people aim in thought
and manners ut something high and
beautiful, making them respect SINGER
ity, courtesy and faith. roconciling
them to life and inspiring them with
conviction of grenter and loyelier things
yet to come. Would not such n person
be serviccable in any community? Why
do we rush after the really eloquent
orators, if the world can do without
transccndont expression? Emerson
never expected the world to realize the
ideal he set up but he intended to make
people aim high, so that they should at
least be less vulgar and mean and base.
And this is a great work and good one.
1t is high mission and ncedful one.
We do not need fewer but more "trans-
cendcntalists.' In a land mainly de-
voted to politics and business, these
stirring and enchanting messages that
call us all into the temple of the human
soul and bid us adorn its walls with
spiritual gifts and listen to the mysteri-
Gus voices that make deep music, these
are now and always messages we most
urgently need for growth and salvation.

LION tanner MARTIN,
Recognized by TIE Beasts After an Alb
sence of Five Years.

Recognizcd by tie Beasts After an Abb
sence of Five Years.
When the celebrated animal tanner,
who died lately. had retired to private
life, one day he took a notion that he
would visit his former large menagerie,
which he had not seen for five years. 1t
was in Brussels, and he started for that
city from his country seat near Rotter.
dam.
At four o'clock, the time for feeding,
he entered the menagerie. Being winter
time Martin was wrapped in a cloak
!, He mingled with the crowd and waited
until the animals would receive their
food, for which they were waiting with
wild impatience. While they were eat
ing he began to cough. Suddenly the
animals paused in their treat and lis
tened then broke into wild howls of
Joy and tore at the iron bars, so that
many of the timid visitors fled from tho
menagerie. The parrots, kangaroos.
pelicans and monkeys began to screech
howled-in short, it was perfect bed
lam.
Then Martin stepped forward. With
movement of his hand and with his
powerful voice he commanded silence,
and suddenly every thing was quiet.
He swung himself over the bar which
separated the visitors from the animals
and put his hand in tho cages to fondle
the animals. A mighty tigress showed
more Joy than any of the others. When
Martins hand glided over her magnifi-
cent fur her limbs trembled nervously;
she uttered weak, tender grunts, and
through the iron bars, with her rough
tongue, she licked the face of her former
master. When he went away she lay
down without eating any more food.
There was lion named Nero who
had once bitten Martin in the hip and
had been severely punished by him for
it. The lion had an unreconcilable
hatred for the animal tanner. Nero
made no other motion at Martins APP
proach than lift his head and eye him
intently. He remained in his place,
lying still in the back of his cage, when
Martin came near. Martin spoke to him.
He did not answer and viewed Martin
with apparent Indifference. But, when
Martin was going away, the lion, with
q mighty spring, entirely unexpected,
threw himself against the grating,
pushed his paws through the iron bars,
and with his claws tore off part OF
Martins cloak. BY quick movement
Martin escaped another injury from this
animal.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

hung between the two front arms of this
jack which hold the evener as shown,
stretching the wire. This wheel is
made of two disks of boards with the
edges chamfered. They are nailed to-
gether cross-wise and their chamfered
edges brought together in such way
that the completed wheel has a grooved
edge.
A strong rope must extend from the
axle, on which this wheel is hung to
the evener, for stretching the wire.
From the groove on the wheel rope
reaches to pulley at the top of the
tripod and to the weight below it. This
weight has an increased advantage over
the rope attached to the evener, rs the
wheel is so much larger than the axle
on which the evener rope winds. At
the foot of the jacks legs are half-inch
irons. When the jack Is being used,
these irons are pinned solidly into the
turf, SO the machine can not be moved.
Now we will proceed to reel out the
wire. First pay out the bottom wire,

AS to the amount of food, / only say,
says a writer in the Ohio Farmer, that
in my Judgment you can not push pigs
too fast if you feed for bone and mus
Gle rather than fat, and / would give
variety of food and all that they will
eat. You must use judgment and not
feed so much that some foul feed will be
left in the trough; but if you only give
what they will eat up clean, there is no
danger of overlooking. In order to give
variety, and encourage them TO eat a
large quantity of food | would feed
some whole corn each day-one or two
ears each per day after the pigs are
three months old. When the object is
TO develop pig so as to get it ready for
market as soon as possible, there is no
economy in short rations, but the more
food we can get it to digest the cheaper
we can produce the pork. | believe
bran to be the cheapest and best food
we can give to a growing pig, but we
must feed it with some other food. Oil
meal is only TO be fed as balance ra-
tion and for the small quantity required
we can afford to pay Sl.25 per 100
pounds; but it could not be substituted
for the other foods named. / place
good deal of Importance on the use of
salt in this ration, both to make it pal
atable and also to add to it's digestibil-
ity Always manage so as to have your
slop-barrel emptied once day, to pre-
vent it from becoming too sour, and add
salt each time you mix fresh slop. 1t
is best to have two barrels and use
them alternately. am speaking now
of hot weather feeding, when little
carelessness or neglect will develop
acidity so as to injure the food.

METHOD OF BRAcING.

within two inches of the picket, and
turn them over once or twice, accord
ing to the distance apart you want your
pickets. The next time turn the
wrenches In the opposite direction, SO
that the wire will not get twisted. The
best braces are 2x4 strips or poles.
They extend from the top of one post to
the bottom of the next and do not come
in contact with the ground. The wire

gaps. Weave up the gap, nail the last
picket firmly to the post, then go to the
opposite side of the gap, put in picket
and nail this to the post. After going
rod or two further the wires can be
cut in the center of the gap and wound
about the posts, thus fastening the
fence firmly. In this way but little
more wire is required and great deal
of time is saved in setting up and get
ting started. The posts at each end of
the fence and either side of the gap
must be stoutly braced.
When the wires have been placed
they are attached to the evener as
shown. and the evener holds them
steadily in place, though not so ssiffly
that the weaving can not be done. But
before we can proceed to weave in
pickets it will be necessary to make three
wrenches, one for each WIRE Take n
piece of 2x8 scantling 10 inches long
and saw an x op both edges of it, one
fourth Of an inch deep and ~ inches
from the end The triangular pieces
must then be removed with chisel as
shown in the engraving. Next an auger
hole must be bored in one side, and a
a strip of band iron run around where
the wire is likely to wear the wrench.
The ends of the band iron must each
have a punched hole and these must
come directly over the one-inch auger
hole. A screw put through the punched
ends will draw the band iron into the
hole until it is tight about the wrench.
Unless tina strap of iron is put around
the wrench it will not make over 20
rods of fence before wearing out
Having braced the first post we will
begin at tho left hand to weave. Insert
the wrench between the wires. This
will open them and the picket may be
inserted. With a nail hammer in the
right hand force the picket into place
