4 Singular Wedding Custom.

Thh Mandingoes, who inhabit a tract
of country in Africa, are strict Mo-
hammedans in religion, but, curiously
enough, they still retain many OF the
superstitions of the African races from
which they sprung. Consequently
their marriage ceremony is a mixture
of the two, and, although it is per.
formed by a marabout, or holy man in
the mosque, it contains one very rld1c'
ulous element. Next in Importance
to the marabout is the ~bridegroom's
sister. and when the marriage cere-
mony reaches the point where the visi-
BILE bond, usually typified in civiliza-
ton by the ring, this sister steps for.
ward and in place of the ring presents
the lady with a pair of trousers, which
are Immediately donned. The cere-
mony is concluded by a mournful song
sung by the companions of the bride,
who then conduct her again to the
home of her parents, as, owing to the
extreme probability of one or the other
r~etracting at any moment by reason OF
m unfavorable omen, no house is built
until the ceremony is completed. Poly
gamy is the rule, but each wife has her
W house, to keep her from quarrel
ing with the other wives. They are
the most tyrannical wives in Africa
and, hating each other, band together
against their husband and rule him
with a rod of iron.-New York Com

MAKE BEST BUTTER.

If dairymen will bear in mind that
the best butter pays o profit and the
poorest insures a loss, they will have
one large foundation stone of dairy
economy established. The average
grade just pays the cost Of production ;
the poorest grades fall below and the
better grade rises above. The profit
accrues from the better grades of but,
ter produced from the better grades OF
COWS. For while it is entirely prac-
ticable to always make a high grade
butter from a low grade cow, it is not
possible to secure a profit, because OF
the small quantity. Neither can 8
profit be obtained by making large
quantities of poor butter. First we
need a good COW, then give the COW
and her milk good care and success is
certain. There is comfort in the feet
that it is just as easy to make good
butter by good methods as to make
poor butter by the cold granny"
methods, in fact it is very much easier
and ten times mote satisfactory

PRUNING GRAPE VINES.

Many agricultural writer's insist that
grape vines should only be pruned in
the fall or beginning of winter, and
undoubtedly that is the best time, but
we have pruned in the spring, after
the leaves were half grown, without
any injury to the vines. We did not
cut back as closely as we should have
done in the fall, and sometimes one
or two of the last joints died, probably
from bleeding, but there was no ex-
cessive bleeding, and the main vine
did not seem to be, hurt by it, or the
fruit lessened in size or sweetness. 1t
was thought better than to allow a
neglected vine to grow too much
wood. But we would not care to prune
between the formation of the. fruit
buda1and the ripening of the fruit, I'M
less to nip off the ends of branches
that are making too much growth

How Parrots Shaped Americas Destiny,

A fight of birds, coupled with q
sailors superstition, robbed Columbus
of the honor of discovering the CONT.
nent. It is a curious but historical
fact. When Columbus sailed westward
over the unknown Atlantic he expected
to reach zipangu (Japanh After sew
eral days sail from Gomera, one OF the
Canary Islands, he became uneasy at
not discovering Zipangu, which, ac'
cording to his reckoning, should have
been ZIG nautical miles more to the
east. After a long discussion he yield
ed to the opinion of Martin Alonzo
Pinzon, the commander of the Pinta,
and steered to the southwest. Pinzon
was guided in his opinion solely by q
fight of parrots which took wing IN
that direction. It was good luck to
follow in the wake of a flock of birds

z Oh IRON NAILS.

Since the introduction of steel nails
the iron nails have been slow of sale,
yet the latter are often palmed off on
the purchaser unless steel nails are
especially ordered. The wire steel
nails cost q trife more than the square
cut steel ones, but are enough better to
pay, as the wire nails do not split the
timber, or mutilate the fiber of the
wood, as does the common nail. A
wire nail, if notched, clings to the
wood, and for clinching is preferable
to the common form of steel nail. AS
to durability, both will rust away if in
an exposed position. Iron nails break
when under heavy strain, or when bent
at right angles, while those of steel
hang with a most wonderful tenacity,
and for fencing, and like purposes,
should always be used. For shingling,
wire nails are best. They do not split
or tear away the underside of the
shingles, as do the square cut nails OF
both iron and steel. When driving
large steel nails into hard wood, they
are liable to bend unless struck squarely.

War Games.

The wal games best calculated to
weld really useful results are those
which are sometimes played in antici-
patton of some field day or series of
~manouvres. Tt is surprising how
often there is total disagreement be.
tween the probable issues arrived at,
seYerally, by real men on real ground,
and those brought about by lead pieces
upon the map or model. Ground fea
lures. so apparently insignificant that
their existence is undiscovered even
upon the largest scale maps, willsome-
times suffice to alter the entire situa-
ton. Speaking generally, the COM
mon result of much playing of war
games is to i~ncuicate the mistaken idea
that, given certain data, n combat has
d fixed issue. An ounce of practice is
worth q ton of theory. One of the
first things which it is essential to APP
preciate is that in war there is no such
thing as certainty, and that it is the
unexpected which very frequently hap
pens. All that the best general oan do
is to insure the desired result as fnr as
lie is able, and make proper prepare.
tions for meeting the difficulty in case
of failure.-Broad Arrow.

HOW TO GROOM A HORSE.

The few stable hands who know how
to groom a horse properly are gen.
orally too INDECENT to do it. 1t is quite
an art to clean a horse as he should be
cleaned, and 1t is no easy job. For
that reason he is seldom groomed as
he should be. A groom must be &C.
tive, strong and experienced. Every
inch of the horse, beginning at the
head, should be gone over thoroughly
with brush, comb and rag.
A mar who would not much rather
take care of his own horse, provided
he has the time, has not true love for
the horse. No animal will repay one
for care and attention like the horse.
He will show it not only in appearance
externally, but in health and spirits.
Good grooming will do as much in i'm
proving the condition Of q horse as an
additional four quarts of oats per day.
In grooming a horse properly he
should be tied from side to side 81 that
he cannot throw his head around and
work himself all over the floor, which
he is sure to do under the comb if he
is not of q disposition too phlegmatic
to feel the scratching. A good brush
and comb are required, as we'll as a
broomcorn brush for name and tail.
Never use the comb on the horses
head. Il he has any spirit at all he
will not endure it.
Take the brush in the right hand
and the headstall in the left, steady
his head while brushing gently, and
then with the comb N the Left hand
curry the neck from behind the ear
and the entire right side. Go through
the same process on the left side
leave no space untouched. After cur
rying take the brush and brush the
hair the wrong way, scraping the
brush at intervals with the comb to
clean it. Then go the right way with
the brush follow the brush with
wooden rag-rubbing the hair up and
then smoothing it. Don't spare elbow
grease, and the horse will show hif
keeping and act as he feela-Kansas
