The good housekeeper, who looks on
the outer world as a pitfaII, and on
home as the only safe place, relies
largely on the delicacics of the Ia BILE to
bring people home and to keep them
there afterwards. And so. also, does
many another woman who has no such
poor opinion of the outer world. In ac-
cordance with this precautionary wis
dom, she feels 1t necessary not only to
have sweet sauces and honeyed dainties
for everyday use, but to esta blish a
sort of sinking-fund in the matter OF

THE HONEYMOON.
Bridal Tours Said to Interfere with Its
EnIoymepts.

Bridal Tours Said to Interfere with Its
EnJoyments.
The question of reform in the we'd
ding journey is now being agitatcd by
leaders of English society. They main
tain that much time and money are
thrown away needlessly on this ideal
trip. and that not only is there no adc-
quate compensation for the loss. but
that frequently the honeymoon is there
by robbed of its blissful serenity.
A dozen letters have appeared lately
in a London daily suggesting that the
honeymoon should be curtailed and
simpiified. One humorous writer. who
dates his letter from Grosvenor square,
the most fashionable part of London,
declares cmphatically that the newly
married husband tires of the honey
moon. He may get very tired of it, or
Just a little, but he tires of it. He may
idolize, love or merely like his young
wife, but, by whichever graduation OF
sentiment he is attached to her, he still
tires of the honeymoon. Sometimes.
indeed, it is added, the more he loves
his spouse the more the wedding
journey annoys him.
The period of betrothal is an irritat-
ing and annoying one for the man. The
wedding preparations, so highly appre-
ciated by the bride, are source of con-
tinuai worry for the bridegroom. From
the discussion over the brides dress to
the gifts; from the social to the civil cere-
monies, every thing represents minute
and assiduous labor: so much so that
unless he is aided by immense love,
great longing or strong interest he
could not perscvere in his task. There.
fore the bridegroom, when the wed.
ding day arrives. is in state of acute
irritability (no man can possibly be
tranquil on that day unless he is an i'm
becile), and the departure for the hon
eymoou. always harassed by eomplica'
tions, delays and confusion, 9ply aug

The Oat Meal Factory.


In Akron. o, Shuinaker, one OF
the Hrst ost meal manufacturers In
this country, and now one Of the
largest In America, started about
1853. In 1885 he was burned out
while building his factory; his In.
sursnce had expired and the citizens
came to him and offered him oil the
money he wanted to rebuild his
works, ~ they considered the oet
meal business Of greater advantage
to their city than any other business
they had. The Sslina people should
not rest until large oat meal fac
tory 10 established here. A factory
OF this kind would furnish o home
market ct good prices for thousands
Of bushels Of oats every year. The
cooper and box manufacturer would
fnd employment for 4 number Of
men throughout the year. The
printer would come In for q large
share Of work, as every box and
every barrel must be nicely marked
and labeled before Il leaves the fac
tory. A mill Of 1000 bushels Ca
pacity per day will furnish employ
ment In all departmental, from the
farmer to the consumer, of nearly
fifty people. Salina, to make .
good town, must have manufac.
tories. We have one of the largest
and best paper mills In the West
that cost nearly tI00, 900, and will
cost more than that before they get
through. This 10 an enterprise that
every citizen Of salina IL proud Of.
A big oat meal factory should be
the next. The farmers have Q big
crop Of splendid oats, but no market
for them.

Should the balance Of the crop yet
