WHAT Is 4 WIFE'
sOme Interesting Answers which
Were aIVen ny bright Young
Americans.

st. Paul Pioneer Press The pretty
school teacher, for little advertisement,
had asked her class for the best original
definition Of "wife," and the boy in the
corner had promptly responded: "A rib."
She looked at him reproachiully and
nodded to the boy with dreamy eyes, who
seemed anxious to say something.

"a holpmeet," put In q flaxen haired
girl.

suggested demure little girl.
"And spends his money when he's
flush" added the incorrigible boy in the
corner.
There was a lull, and the pretty, dark
eyed girl in the corner said slowly:
"a wife is the envy Of spinsters."
Zone who makes a man hustle" was
the next suggestion.
"And keeps him from making fool Of
himself" put in another girl.
"Some one for a man to find fault with
when things go wrong" said u sorrowful
little maiden.
"Stop right there" said tho pretty
school teacher. "That's the best deflni-
tion."
Later the sorowful little maiden sidled
up To her and asked:
"Aren't you going to marry that hand
some man who calls for you nearly every
day?"
."Yes, dear" she replied, "but with US
nothing will ever go wrong. He says so
himself"

URIOSITIE OP COLOKIAL DAYS.
The severe PunIshment which Was
Melted out In the Days Of
william Penn.

Chester, Pa, NstOs: The assembly
that convened ct Chester, December 4,
1852, enacted n code Of laws that made
the people Of the IsW colony live up to
the mark, and, while many Of the severe
penalties Of the Duke Of York's code were
softened, yet the unfortunate deemed
them hard enough. The man or woman
who used profanC language was punished
by fine or imprisonment, and more than
one person had reaaon for regret for eI-
pressing their feelings in public with too
much emphasis.
The severest punishment was met2d
out for licentioas conduct. A public
whipping and one years Imprisonment
was the penalty on the graver degree oi
this crime, while a second ofFense was
punishable by imprisonment for life.
This Law was amended in 1905, the first
ofense being punished by twenty-ons
lashes and imprisonment for one year, OF
fine Of ESQ; a second conviction sub
jected the culprit to seven years impris-
onment, and the letter "a" was branded
on his forehead.
In lelonious assault the aggrleved party
received half Of the estate Of the agrees
or, and the convict was publicly whipped
and had to go to Jail for one year. For
the second ofense he was imprisoned for
life.
The man who had more than one wife
instead Of bslng an object Of commisera-
ton was liable ~ be sent 10 jail for life
while the man who broke into housI
and stole was sent to jail for four months
He had to work like beaver, and unless
he restored fourfOld to the party the court
sent him up for seven years to give him
time for reflection.
Murder was punished with death and
tho forfeiture Of half the estate Of the
felon.
Theft was punished with public whip
ping and various terms Of imprisonment,
while restitution had to be made from
three TO fouriold.
Tho minor regulations prohibited all
persons from taking part in stage plays,
revels, masgGes and kindred worldly pur-
suits, 80 that any troupe that had chanced
to drop into Pennsylvania with ta-ra-ra.
boom-de-ay worl1 have been sent higher

Drinking Of health was punishable by
fine Of five shilllngs or Eve days i'm
prisonment; and horse racing, shooting
matches and sports Of like character were
interdicted. If the offenders happened to
be slaves they were whipped and impris-
oAed instead Of fined.

TALES OF MARVELLOUS STRENGTH.
Giant spanish Athletes who Could
Easily XIII n BuII with n
Blow OF the Fist.

After the Spanish occupation Of the
Grand Canary a certain enormous stone
was for long time pointed out as one Of
the instruments Of the Gaunche athletic
course. The natives had been able to
lift it, set 1t on their shoulders and even
throw it over their heads. Their degen-
crate posterity and the Spaniards could
not raise 1t from the ground.
Tradition has immortalized one Adar-
gonna, Of Grand Canary, who could wres-
tie for two consecutive hours, and, hav-
ing been thrown undermost in a certain
contest, got his antagonist between his
legs and arms and squeezed him so that
his bones began to crack. The native
was subsequently carried as prisoner to
Spain, where he astounded the people
by his performances. One day in Seville
he was visited by brawny youth from
La Mancha, who was anxious to try a
bout with him.
"My good friend" said Adargoma, "as
we are going to wrestle together it is only
reasonable that we should begin by
drinking something"
A large bowl Of wine having been
brought, he took this in one hand and
continued to address his challenger:
"If with both your arms you can over
power one Of mine so as to hinder me
from drinking every drop Of this wine we
will try our strength together. II not,
you may return to your home"
The struggle took place, and Adargoma
by degrees drained the bowl in the cool
est manner, without spilling 4 drop oi
the wine. His one hand was more than
a match for the two,
1t was reckoned nothing out of the
common for a man to take an untethered
OK by the horn with one hand and slay
it with the other. A certain native born
priest of Grand Canary, in the seven
teenth century, showed that he inherited
some Of his ancestors vigor, for one day,
hearing that an enraged bull had broken
loose and was running in the street, he
ran out, and grasping it by the leg threw
it down and so held it until its owner was
able to secure it. This doughty son Of
the church, before his death, CHANGED to
have one Of his legs amputated for 4 can
Ger. 1t was then found that his thigh
bone was solid, with no trace Of marrow.

are planted in the same manner as is fol-
lowed in putting in plants grown from the
seed. II it is unavoidable that they have
to be kept a few days before planting,
they should be lightly covered with earth.
For transport they are packed in damp
moss. If the land for the plantation has
not been prepared, the stalks when re-
ceived should be put out six inches apart
in nursery rows, the space between the
rows being about two feet. These plants
will make roots, and if put out in the fol-
lowing year will progress rapidly and
even Lear a small crop. By adopting this
method the plants will be as advanced
as though they had been planted at the
same time they were cut from the par
ent stalk.

WHY THEY FALL ii LOVE.
OF LiEe'S Most OhRTmIng
Mysteries.

Why do women fall in lover Many a
happy and many an unhappy wife looks
back and wonders. Nine times out Of
ten they fell in love when the man who
made love most to their taste came along.
Also q girl falls in love about the time
she makes up her mind she ought to, and
with the man who happens along. That
is something half Of them will not con-
fess, but she same half Of them will know
1t is true, Many q girl doe= not know she
is in love until he asks her to be his wife.
Then she has to say something. To say
mo" will be to give him up. She de-
cides she does not want to give him up,
and that makes her think she loves him.
So she says "Yes." A big percentage of
the girls fall In love Win the first man
who makes love TO them. II woman
escapes the first man she is apt to get of
safely good many times, and so stand q
chance Of finally getting the right man.
You see, when the first man makes love
1t is q new sensation to the girl. Her
heart beats and her head goes round.
She thinks it Is the man, but 1t isn't. It
is the loVe-making. She, feeling her
head 60 round and her heart beat, and
thinking 1t is the man, decides she is in
love with him. Phool She isn't! II
something happens and she does not fin-
ally marry him, she finds that her heart
| haaia and har hoad s,oaa round tho rovi
time she is made love to. Then she be-
gins to think. Then, II she decides that
she likes to have her head go round and
her heart beat, and Is sure that il is love
making and not any particular man that
makes things do that way, she goes in
for the sensation merely and becomes a
wicked hirt. The wicked firt is just the
girl who stands the best chance Of know
ing the real thing when it does come.
Presently she gets tired Of everything,
and her head wont go round any more,
and as for her heart, she wonders II 1t
ever will beat or ever did beat, She
thinks life is all over and there isn't any
fraud so big as 'love." Then, all of a
sudden, something happens quite differ
not made her dangerously fond Of taking
risks, she settles things quickly, marries
the man she really loves, and Is as likely
to be happy and as likely 10 be unhappy
as the ether woman. But consider what
lot more iun sac had.

AYouns Oak for ParnOr Ornaments

A young oak tree growing in a glass or
vase Of water is not only ornamental, but
interesting. Place IN acorn suspended
by a thread within half an inch Of the
surface OF the water. Let it remain un'
disturbed for a couple oi months, save fol
the filling up Of the vessel to replace
evaporation and On occasional complete
change Of the water by a siphon.
The acorn will throw root downward
into the water, and upward will shoot q
slender stem with glossy leaves. Hya.
cinth glasses are the best for the purpose.
7 title charcoal is needed at the bottom
to keep the water These are frequently
seen in English restaurants.

viii Go to the WORLDS Fair.

Several young men Of La Grande, ogn.,
have secured possession Of an old time
stage coach formerly in use on the PEN
dleton-Walla Walls line. They also have
six horses and the necessary harness for
their steeds. They will tit up this outfit
in approved frontier style, and each mem
Der will secure a genuine cowboy cos
tune, beiEg especially particular to train
his mustache to the required length.
When preparations are completed they
will start some time in April for the

Hop plants are reared either from seeds
or cuttings. Sowing is the slower process,
but plants so raised are the best. The
seed used should, Of course, be of good
quality. 1t should be perfectly ripe and
taken from well-developed canes Of Wig
orous specimens Of the same species, all
Of which have arrived at maturity to-
gether. By so doing there is a better
chance Of obtaining plants which will de-
velop and mature at the same time. The
point is important, as affecting cultiva-
tion and the expenses Of picking the crop.
To ascertain the quality Of the seed a
handful should DO taken hap-hazard and
thrown into glass Of water. The seeds
which float on the surface are bad, and
those which sink To the bottom may be
considered good but this test is not in
fallible. The seed should be sown in a
hotbed frame, either broadcast or in
rows. Whichever method Of sowing is
adopted the soil should be light, well
mdnured and thoroughly pulverized. If
the seed be sown in rows the spaces
should be marked out with lines two or
three inches apart and about a quarter Of
an inch deep. II sown broadcast the
method in use in sowing all fine seeds
should be adopted. The seeds should be
covered by means Of rake, the back Of
which may be used to gently press down
the soil, after which the teeth may be
used to mellow the soil still further. The
seed should not be covered by more than
an eighth Of an inch Of earth. A little
chopped straw should he spread over the
surface in order to prevent the seeds be-
ing exposed or the plants washed out
when watered. Watering is indispensi-
BILE to maintain the earth in a proper
state Of humidity for the termination of
the seeds and the development Of the
young plants.
When sown broadcast the seed must
be covered up with rake and operated
upon as II sown in rows. Sowing should
be done early in January. The seeds
germinate in six weeks, and the plants
are ready for use in the following month.
They should be put down at the end Of
March or the beginning Of April, but
they yield no crop until the following
year. When cuttings from stalks are
used some advantage may be gained
under the following circumstances: After
the second year the plantations are sub
jected to an annual pruning, which takes
place in January or February. The
pruning operation consists Of cutting
from the upper part Of each stalk, from
the neck downward, length Of six inch
es. The pieces Of stalk thus cut of
should be Immediately planted. The
roots, however, should first be removed,
leaving only the eyes ranged round the
stalk, Of which there should be at least
three or four rows. These pieces Of stalk

A QUIET HOP MARKET.
The Holiday Depression Has PF0Vented
Any Movement The Prospects.
Figures Indicate That Prices must
stFenRthen-HOPst Grow from
Seed are said to he
the Hest.

J. ]. r. Short, who recently visited
tied Yakima, has the following to say to
the Sacramento NeWs man:
"Prices will not go much higher, al
though they are trile lower at this
season than they will be few weeks la
ter. The day for corners in hops has
passed away. There was q time when
the brewers lost millions Of dollars In try
ing to hold down the crop Of the world,
but they are now combined for mutual
protection and do not cut each others
throats, in a business sense, as they did
formerly. They do not fight over desir-
able locations for saloons as thev used
to, but have matters so arranged that all
get the same chances and no money is
wasted. The prices now being paid in
London for choice Pacifics run from "a to
20 cents, and when you take off Ave cents
for commissions and freight, there is lit
tie difference between what the dealers
are offering and what they will get."
HOPS WILL BE SCARCE.
Some of the growers believe that there
will be greater demand for hops early
next year than the dealers will allow.
Especially is this the case in New York.
The Homestead, in referring to the stu
alton, says: "Tho smallest quantity Of
hops ever imported by England during
the past twenty-five years, and that, too,
during season Of very heavy crop yield,
was l22,O0O cwts, or 5000 American
bales. Putting the total United States
crop OF 1892 at zoo, ,OOJ bales, and the con-
sumption at only ono pound per barrel
on 33, 600, coo barrels Of beer, or 5000
bales, leaves a surplus Of II 900 bales for
export during tho current trade year.
But We have already exported 1900
bales, importing less than 1000 bales, SO
that really We have at the present mo-
ment not pound to spare in the country
over and above the requirements Of our
own brewers without including what is
needed for export, for making hop extract
or for medical purposes. England took
from us last year over 10000 bales, and
it is quite reasonable to suppose that she
will need more during the present trade
year, as her own and the European crops
are lighter. Our brewers will doubtless
have to reimport American hops at high
figures, as they did six months ago, and
there is every indication of very strong
and active market later in the season."
