JAPANEsE MARRIAGES.
A Native WEEDS Thirty-six Brides Before
He Gets One to Suit Him.

Native WEEDS Thirty-six Brides Before
He Gets One to Suit Him.
If we are to believe the press of Japan,
writes James Payn, their view of matri-
monial happiness is far more sensible than
that entertained at home. 1.-The nrinci-
pie underlying the whole marital relation
is that the affection that makes marriage
happy is not the love which precedes I'M
ION, but the respect esteem and sense of
mutual helpfulness that grows up after
ward This is an admirable truth,
though it has been ignored by all the
poets, and almost all the novelists of Eu-
rope. 1t has, indeed, been observed of
lifelong friendship that it is hard that it
should be superseded, and have, so to
speak, Its nose put out of join" by
chit of girl, whom man has only known
for week; but love is so vehement pas
sion that flor the time, at least) it sweeps
all before it, and there is nothing for
poor friendship but to get out of the way.
But to compare this sudden food, as we
do, and even give IL the e-eminence,
with the deep, strong current of married
love, with all its common interests and
memories of sun and shade, is ludicrously
false. That we sometimes hang ourselves
because we cannot marry our first love is
nothing to purpose, for we certainly are
in no position to estimate her value; we
know nothing about her
sour love is like all other loves,
A little glow, little silver,
rosebud and pair of gloves,
And fly not yet upon the river"
1t is reasonable that the loss of; this,
however attractive, stranger should be
weighed in the same balance with that of
the wife who has proved herself what in
the formers case, we have only hoped for,
and who has halved our sorrows ano
doubled our joys? Yes, it is the lover
baked of his mistress upon whom all the
sentiment of fiction is lavished; it has
not word of pity for the widower,
though it makes plenty of fun of him if
he marrie2 again. One can only suppose
that the distortion of the mirror of life
arises from the fact that it is chiefly
those children of Mammon, the novelists,
appeal to the sympathies of their best
clients.
In Japan (where there are no serials)
people have more common sense. Of one
japanese, indeed, we read that in his
efforts to secure tried and faithful part
ner, "whose respect, esteem, etc., should
grow up afterward, he has married no
less than thirty-fve chits of girls, all of
whom have disappointed expectation, and
still in hopes, he has just been united to
his thirty-sixth bride.

Warm Sheds and Stables.

The greatest lack of economy in the
wintering of stock In the west is observed
in the ca, eiess construction of sheds and
stables. This has been encouraged by the
former belief that stock did not REQUIRE
any protection from the storm, not even
feed; that they would safely pass the en-
feed or shelter. This kind of history, COM
ing down to our western farmers has,
with out doubt, had much influence in en-
couraging neglect in winter stock protec
ton. Each winter however, demonstrates
more clearly the allacy of trying to winter
stock without shelter, or with poor shelter.
We have frequently seen cattle and horses
wintered in Nebraska without any protec-
ton. except such as they could get from a
little strip of cultivated timber, or by how
ering around some hog shed Or horse stable
The western-raised cow, if healthy and in
good flesh in the autumn season, with
liberal supply of hay. will usually worry
through pretty hard wiutec with these
accommodations. She is not much of
COW, though, when spring opens up, and
it takes a long time for her to recover and
get in thriving condition.
The best investm ent that the farmer can
make is in providing close, tight sheds or
stables for the stock We very often see
large, well-built barns and stables that are
not sided up with tight siding. Common
barn boards, with the cracks not stripped.
makes very poor stable for stock. Ali
sheds or stables, sided with this kind of
material, may be remedied very cheaply
using plastering lath, mailing them on the
cracks from the inside of the building. 1t
is very essential that all these crevices,
cracks and openings be closed up and shut
out all currents and air draughts as these
are what cause the stock to suffer. Make
all stock buildings tight and warm and
keep no more stock than you can accom-
modate in such quarters, and you will have
more profit at the end Of the year than if
more stock were kept and less care given.
IRISH CHANNEL TUNNEL PROJECT
Passage of Thirty-Three Miles in Length
Proposed.
This project was presented in a more
detailed form at meeting held on Dec.
II, at Belfast Mr.. Barton, the engineer,
explained his preliminary plans. The
shortest line between Ireland and Scot
land was from Tor Head to the Null of
Cantyre, a distance of Il miles, but the
water there was 462 feet deep, and the
site unsuitable. Mr. Barton proposed to
cross between Island Magee and Wigton-
shire, with tunnel about 81 miles long,
with 500 feet of water overhead. The
proposed line would leave the Northern
Counties railway at point near White

KANSAS CRY, KAN, Sept ., 1891.
In the mass meeting held by the
colored people of this city at the NJ.

seems that the vexed school question
found a decision, the people deciding
to render their general assistance by
the subscription plan, thus enabling
the schools TO keep open till January,
when the regular public school fund
will be used in paying the teachers for
| the balance of the school year.

She was one of those who always,
seemingly, carried an inward limo
cence aud an outward happiness and
contentment. If she was not happy
at all times, she did not make others
miserable at any time. She was loved
by all who had the pleasure of making
her acquaintance. The remains were
inferred in the city cemetery Saturday
(26th) afternoon.

ALLIANCE UNCOMFORTABLE.


Senator kirkpatrick "roasted" the
Alliancemen at Springs park on the
Goth. He delivered two -r0using
speeches, the one in the late afternoon
and the other was begun in the late
evening and closed at early night.
The large audiences were made up of
representative people from all portions
Of the county and few from the out
side of the county. A heavy sprink-
ling of ladies of both shades were
present. In the afternoon speech the
orator dwelt mostly on The tariff aud
the b-treasury scheme. He holds
that the sub-treasury scheme is i'm
practical from beginning TO end, and
in speaking of the wheat crop of the
country, he says it would take two
trains of cars reaching from San
Francisco TO New York City to haul
it. "The Alliance party" said the
speaker, swami the government to build
store honses I'm which to store this i'm
mense crop and then to advance so
cents on the tushel and to buy the
railroads which would cost $S,000,000,
or more and when would the govern
ment ever be able to raise that
amount ?" Mrs. Leases method of
paying off the mortgages was thor
oughly aired to the detriment of the
calamity party. The majority of the
reading people everywhere admit that
the Farmers Alliance party is losing
ground rapidly.
c. w. Daniels, the chairman of the
meeting, after making few remarks
of thanks introduced the speakers in
hisi own peculiar way, though, how
ever, struck the boys just right.
The Columbus fiambeau club was
down and joined in our street parade.
All the candidates were present and
made short speeches which were graft
flying to all who heard them. Senator
Norton was with us and delivered a
short address. John t. Stewart, chair
man of the Republican county central
committee, was on the ground.
Stewart no doubt is the best Republi-
can worker in the county.
We have been informed that Mr..
kirkpatrick will speak on the 9Th at
Galena and that there will be great
Republican rally at Columbus soon.
