A Good Example.

Among the passengers on one OF the
outward bound ocean steamers this sum-
mer was minister's wife, whose de-
parture illustrates an important princi-
pie in the conduct of home affairs. Her
husband receives but small salary, and
most wives in their circumstances would
have rejected the idea of European
trip as impossible. But the bearing and
rearing of little children had made large
draughts upon her vital force, and, as
the summer vacation drew near, her
husband insisted. since both could not
leave home, that she should go away in
stead of him. He recognized the fact
that in the household man and wife are
partners, on an equal footing, and that
whatever conduces to the good of one
will be beneficial to both. Maternity
had made special demands upon her, and
he Argued that it was only fair for him
to assume, with competent help, the en-
tire care of the children for few weeks.
In this mutual consideration Of each
others need, this mutual Difference to
each others rights, this mutual willing
ness to sacrifice for the others good,
lies the secret Of happy homes.-Con-
gregationalist.

are first-class table fowls, arc less liable
to diseases than chickens and will lay in

shelter and feed they will lay early in
February and continue on regularly until
late in the spring or early summer. When
quite small they need attention, but after
the feathers make good start they can
be let run and, with the exception of
being fed and watered, they will need
but little care. They are remarkably
good foragers, and if given the run of

the greater part of their own living.
They should have comfortable quarters
and plenty of water for drink, but a
pond or running stream may be dis
pensed with, as they will thrive quite
well without either. The Pekin is one
OF the best varieties, on account of its
size and color, and the feathers NAV be
