II was beyond the bounds Of reason. A
reduction in price was one of the things to

temporary depression in the market. The
seasons for u few years past have been

consumption has not been AS large The
large hay crops and mild winters have

OBITUARIES.


The death of Mrs. jasper q. Jennings on
the North river road on Friday last, took
plnce under very distressing circumstances.
Her husband had bad light attack Of
diphtheIia, but had recovered from it, and
It was hoped that there would be no other
case in the family. His wife, however,
was SIR cken with the dread disease little
over week ago, and died at the time above
named. Daring the illness of both OF these
people, the mother of Mr.. Jennings was
also quite i'll in the home with n billions
fever. This family surely has b, en- great
" afflicted. Mrs. Jennings, whose maiden
name was Lit leiield, and who was native
Of Skowhegan, will be kindly remembered
by all who knew her. She had lived i'll
Bowdoinham for some time, but about
year since returned to our town. During
the past season Mr. jennings had erected
n pleasant home, and the young couple
had looked forward TO long residence in
the new honsc. Shadow, however, rather
than sunshine, has been the portion of
this fam ly. Mrs Jennings was n christian
oman, and one tcnderly beloved by
wide circle of friends. Faithful to her
family and devoted to her friends she
all be sincerely mourned as one who
,uught to be helpful in all the relations Of
life. There was q private funeral on Sat-
urday after Don which was conducted by
Rev. {. V. Hanson She leaves husband
and two small children these with her
mother, Mrs John Lally, have the sympa-
| Thy of their friends.

Skim MIX and Meat.

Milk Is or C of the best foods that eau
be given the laying hens, but 1t should not
be sour, nor should it remain exposed to
become distasteful. We are often asked
ifimilk cannot be used as n substitute for
neat. The fact Is, milk is superior to
meat, as 1t is more complete food, but
when we realize that meat Is concentrat-
ed, compared with milk. the difficulty OF
substituting milk for meats is plainly
seen, as the hens cannot drink enough of
the milk, there being about SO per cent OF
water in 1t. That il, to derive IA pounds
Of solid matter from milk the hens must
drink sc pounds of water in the milk,
which requires quite q lenght of time.
Milk should be given, even when meat is
fed, as 1t contains mineral matter, and
also because 1t is more convenient to be
obtained than meat.

FARM, GARDEN AND
HOUSEHOLD.
Good Manners and Good Morals.

We have TO fall back at last for the
standard of good manners and good NOR
ais not upon the few, but upon the many.
The masses OF the people are unquesiion-
ably more critical as to morality than any
exclusive circle and as TO the essential
of good manners they are to be found
more securely among the many than
among the few. We have the high anth-
ority OF Mr.. Bronson Howard for saying
that a Borery audience Is far quicker
than fashionable New York audience to
frown on anything really Immoral in a
play. More than one English nobleman
has been forgiven In American drawing
rooms for conduct which would have
caused him, II known, to be summarily
elected from Rocky Mountain mining
camp. Howells, with his usual penetra-
ton, selects a rough Californian as the
man who patrols the sic ping-car to be
the stlfappointed protector of the ladies'
An unprotected gal may travel by rail
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, anu meet
with less Of rudenc IS or unkindpess than
sha might encounter In single evening,
even from her own sex, at some very ex-
elusive ball. The little social circles have
their value, and a very great value; they
furnish part of the education and exper
lence Of social life. Where they happen
to be und the leadership of really cul-
tivated and high-minded woman-like the
late Mrs. John Jacob Aston, for instance.
they afford not merely school of de-

son, "because live In an alley. Tell him
his soul lives In an alley" In all parts of
the world there are women whose forms
are covered with diamonds, but who still
carry the habits of the alley in their souls.
In the long run, the safety Of our national
morals and manners does not lie In any
Of the little social circles, but In the aver
age sense aud breeding of the vast public
from which those circles are constantly
