How Shall a Woman Speak OF
Her Husband.

Jnspeaking other husband a woman
never makes a mistake ifshe calls him
"Mr." or my husband" 1t is some
times difficult to decide when the
husbandhas a title just what the wife
should do with it. This is the sever.
est rule. In speaking of her husband
she should not say General A." or
doctor b." but "Mr. A." "Mr. B."
No matter what he is-judge, Govern.
or, captain-to her he is and should be
plain "Mr. A." Mrs. Grant never even
when her husband was President spoke
of him as other than MI. Grant,
though it is the custom OF the Presi.
dents wife to speak of him as "the
President"
The one exception to this rule o.
ignoring her husbands official or pro
fessional titles is when the wife pre-
sents him to any one else. Then she
says, my husband, Senator Smith,
or simply, "Dr. Jones'" The reason
for this is evident. 1t gives the proper
clue to the stranger, who would wish
of course, to address the new &C
quaintance with the proper title.
Last of all, let any wife take heec
how she wears her husband 8 title anG
allows herself to be spoken ofas "Mrs
Governor JONES'" or "Mrs. Secretary
Smith," No matter what title bel
husband has, she has no more right
to wear it than she has to wear hi
shoes.

How "A JEW CAN FIND a JEW

The Queer Customs That Enables
One to Locate the Home OF An

"A certain class of Jewish peddlers
desire only to deal with people oftheir

the poorer quarters OF the city, where
Jews live side by side with Germans,
Swedes, Bohemians, Poles, Irish, and
others, yet they eve knock at the
door of u room where other than a

III is due to a simple use-not known
to the Gentile-which dates back to
the time when history was young.
The Jewish Biblical story says that
Moses instructed his followers to keep
green the memory OF their departure
from Egypt by marking their houses

from those of the Gentiles. The last
curse sent to Pharaoh'speople wasthe
Slaughter of irst-borns. The Jews
marked their doors with lambs
blood, and the Destroying Angel
passed by the doors so marked. This
and the Biblical injunction led to a
custom among the orthodox Jews
which is followed to the present day.
On the door-frame at the entrance to
every Jewish house there is nailed a
little tin box, generally three or four
inches long and one-half or a whole
inch wide. It is usually placed six or
seven feet from the ground, and in it
rolled a piece of parchment contain

TO.

placed at the outer entrance of the
houses, but here it is the custom to
nail them on the inner portion of the

Late Fall Pigs.

This is q subject on which there has
been much discussion pro and con,
some claiming that fall pigs can be
raised successfully while others say
not. / think they cant, but that
depends a great deal on circumstances,
o. what might be more properly
termed conditions, also on the &C.
commodations.
If We have warm and pleasant
weather until the middle of November,
and q good, comfortable house at
night, then, along with proper food
and attention, it may be done. On
THANKSGIVING Day, 1886, we had a
SOW which narrowed sever pigs. w
made a good warm pen for her in one
corner Of the barn by mailing up an
unused stall. As soon as the pigs
yer old enough to begin to eat, say
at 8 or 4 weeks of age, we kept con.
stantly before them in an adjoining
pen, where the old SOW could not get
at it, such food as soaked corn,
shorts and milk. mixed, also
clear milk. They were kept in
the barn until about the LIST Of
May, when they were turned out in
clover pasture and fed plenty of food,
along with what clover they wanted
to eat, until the following summer.
some time about the first week Of
July, when they were sold. Their
average weight at that time was 21O
pounds, which / think was fair. While
these did we'll | would not advise
having fall pigs come SO late. / think
about the middle Of September OF
first of October is plenty late enough,
as that would give them from six to
eight weeks of nice weather to get a
good start before the ealcold weather
sets in. Neither would I recommend
that you have any pigs come
than you have accommodationsfor.
