Is often found in the neglect of ones

attention; the assumption being that
they will soon pass off, and it is only
when a case of full-fedged sickness de-

that neglect are fully realized. AS

There are rats and vessels which must be
kept from perches and nests. but who can
describe the manly sense of protectorship

There are chicken houses to be kept neat
and clean, shells to be baked or broken,
feeds to be mixed; but from the sense OF
knowledge which comes with acquired
skill in all those branches, what innocent
and agreeable pride and self respect do not
spring. What traits of patience and di
plonacy are exhibited in the skilful treat
ment of the obdurate and aggressive hen
that is determined to sit even when she
ought to be layingl
What gentleness and forethought must

overruling fate, steps in to end it all upon

And to think that all this pleasure may

in line with his right hand, cubit and

Marrying an Older Woman.

Whenever young man marries WON
an older than himself all the gossips in the
community begin to cackle. Worshipers
crane their necks when he comes into
church. and he is stared out of countenance
in the theater. His friends congratulate
him in the usual way, but look at him as
though he were freak. Were it not for
such ordeals as these the thing would hap
pen oftener than it does
A Morgantown young man wants to
know what the chief objections are to a
man marrying woman older than him
self.
Aside from the notorety it gives man
there are some rather forcible objections
A woman natures earlier than man,
reaches the prime of life earlier and be
comes old earlier. The difference is from
five to ten years, although some fix it at
from three to seven. However, it depends
very largely on the individual.
There would be no sense of fitness in a
man of twenty marrying a woman of
twenty-five nor would it be proper for a
man of twenty to marry girl of fifteen,
The average marrying age of men Is from
twenty five to thirty, and of women from
twenty to twenty-five. These are general
ly regarded as about the best ages at which
to take such an important step.
Some men are, to all intents and pur
poses, older at thirty than Others are at
forty. Such men may therefore marry
women of their own age, or even Older
without being outclassed Prematurely
old or apparently old men may marry real
ly old women, and young looking or young
blooded men may marry really young WON
en- with comparative safety. 1t is better
however, to allow the woman few years
