A Cheap Poultry Yard.

my chicken house was built, and my
poultry have had the run Of the place.

onion bed and row of peas destroyed.
Instead of wringing the necks of the
fowls I went to the city and bought a
roll Goo feet of combination wire and
picket fence four feet high. measured
off square piece, including the front
and one side of my chicken house, so as
to just use up the 100 feet of fence.
then set posts six feet apart, ran ordi-
nary spruce board. around the yard for
base, and tackled the combination fenc-
ing to the posts. It took my man just
half.a day to cut the posts and set them
three feet deep, and together we sawed
off the tops Of the posts, put on the base
boards and tackled up the fencing in just
two hours. will make gate at some

This yard is sufficient for an ordinary

CHICAGO ART INSTITUTE.

ChlGf1dO ALL EIN011lO1
AS long as every Chicago man was
recently from somewhere else art cul-
ture languished, but in 1879 the line was
drawn. All who were there before the
great fire of 1871 were counted old set
tiers, and an academy Of design, which
had started in 1865, was reorganized
and, on application of Marshall Field.
Murray Nelson and others, was incor-
porated as the Chicago Academy Of Fine
Arts. In 1882 it became the Art Insti-
tute of Chicago. Its four story and
brownstone front building, erected in
1885, was long considered the most per.
feet piece of architecture in the city;
but it was sold recently to the Chicago
club for $425, 900, and the permanent
home of the institute will be in the $780,
900 building now going up on the lake
front. esss satssftag e
Art culture and the Chicago river are
held by some to be incompatible, but
did not Venice rise from the salt marsh
and sandpit to unmeasured opulence9
Art followed wealth there, and SO it is
about to do-yes, so it is doing-in Chi
cago. The institute now has about 400
pupils in the day school and 100 in the
night school, besides Saturday class of
nearly 200. The first regular art gal
lery in Chicago was established in 1864
by j. F. Aiken and Albert Crosby, and
they had $65, 900 worth of pictures when
the great fire came, and all their collec-
ton went up in smoke and ashes. The
love of pictures is growing, however.
The other fact over which Chicago
has recently experienced a thrill Of local
pride was the arrival of the Norwegian
steamship Wergeland, which made the
voyage from Bergen to Chicago without
breaking cargo, except that part of its
freight was transported from Montreal
to Kingston on lighters, the loaded
steamship drawing a little too much
water for that section of the st. Law
renee. Other vessels have arrived from
foreign ports, but this was the first to
make it direct from Norway with regu-
lar consignment to Chicago. Her cargo
consisted chiefly of behring's and cod
liver oil, its value was $4,000 and the
Tightening on the st. Lawrence added
an even $1,000 to the cost of the trip.
Otherwise the voyage was a perfect sue
cess, and no trouble whatever was
experienced in passing through the
Welland canal.
It was d great day for the Scandina-
vans when the Wergeland arrived, and
over 100 of their prominent men went
out on q steamer to meet her. Many
hundreds of others went on smaller
craft. A vast crowd lined the river as
the WeYgeland came in, and while the
multitude cheered, the Morse sailors and

nntIe. of tha nfald of Honor.

She is going to be maid Of honor at
the wedding of one of her dear friends.
and she wants to know what her duties
are Well, they are not very onerous.
She walks alone, just ahead Of the bride,
in entering the church, or wherever the
ceremony is to be performed. Her dress
must be little more elaborate than that
of the bridesmaids, but not of course ~
rich as the brides. When the altar Is
reached she stands just beside the bride,
holding her bouquet At the moment
when the ring Is to be assumed she hands
the bouquet to the first bridesmaid, and
assists the bride in taking of her glove.
All this time the bride has been standing
with her veil over her face, but just
after the service is over, when the bride
rises up after having been blessed, the
maid of honor throws back the hlmy
cloud and the bride stands facing the
bridegroom and ready for his kiss. The
bouquet is then handed back TO the maid
of honor, by her given to the bride, and
as the procession retreats she walks just
behind the bride and groom, leaning on
the arm Of the best man.-Ruth Ash

A friend once told me that she did not
know what TO do with her little boy,
four years old, who had for the last few
days been telling all sorts OF nntruths,
with no reason or sense In them. For
instance, that morning sho told him she
did not want him to carry out. as be
had been doing, his little basket of ap-
Piles TO share with his playmates. as the
apples were nearly gone. Two or three
hours after she heard his little feet on
the cellar stairs She went out, and
saw him coming mp the stairs with his
basket of apples.
"Why, Eben, did not tell you not TO
bring mp any more apples for the chill
dren?"
"Yes'm," answered the little fellow.
pursuing his way.
why do you bring them, then?"
"rm not bringing them," said he.
"Is not that basket of apples you
have in your handY'
"Yes'ms"
"Well, then, you are bringing up APP
Piles, as told you not to, are you notS"
"No, mamma, he said, with an honest
expression of face.
She was shocked at his deliberate and
stupid untruth. and also that he should
seem so Indifferent aboutit. The child
was, and is now that he is grown, per-
fectly honest and truthful; but here was
phase Of development when the refrac-
tion of mental rays produced this crooked
result in his mind. The prime element
of untruth is deception, and here was no
intention to deceive.-Harper's Bazaar.
