Frankness Before Marriage.

No man should become engaged to a
woman without having perfectly frank
talk with her in regard to his means, and
the woman should be quite as honest in
telling of her qualifications and willing
ness to undertake to master the problem
of making home on the income that
seems assured TO them both, writes
Maria Parloa in valuable article on the
division of the Family Income" in the
LdCtIeS' Home journal. More than this,
they both should go over this question
deliberately, looking at all sides of it.
The changed mode of living. the self-de-
mails, the added expense of sick ness, if it
should come, all should be carefully con-
sidered. The man who for years has spent
his income upon himself, living, PERHAPS,
like his neighbor, who has fortune back
of him, Will often be frightened at the
picture of the future, which this careful
weighing of the subject presents to him,
and he may decide either to wait few
years or else do what, unfortunately, a
great many young married people think
they must do-go to a boarding house.
The woman may have lived an aimless.
careless life, her father being able to sup
port her in comfort and, perhaps ele-
gance. The picture may have as little
charm for her as for the man who has
asked her to marry him, and she, too, is
glad to settle upon the clearinghouse as
promising more style and ease tor less
money than can the simple home, This
is one solution of the problem. An
other common happening is that either
one or the other finds-or, perhaps,
both the man and woman do
that they have not the independence and
moral courage to be willing to live in such
simple, questionable manner as their
means would compel them to. When
two people feel that way it would be bet
than onn tho IunrlI OF l.
that they remain single; for we have to-
day too many people who are trying to
live as if they had an income of many
thousands, when, in fact, it is often the
case that they have less than two thou

Swinging Around the Circle

Of the diseases to which it is adapted
with the best results, Hostetters Stomach
Bitters, a family medicine, comprehen-
sive in its scope, has never been thrust
upon public attention in the guise of a
universal panacea for bodily ills. This
claim, daily arrogated in the columns OF
the daily press by the proprietors OF
medicines far inferior to it as specifics,
has in thousand instances Disguised the
public in advance by its absurdity, and
the prospects of other remedies of su-
perior qualities have been handicapped
by the pretensions of their worthless pre-
decessors. But the American people know
because they have verified the fact by the
most trying tests, that the bitters possesses
the virtues of real specific in cases OF
malarial and liver disorder, constipation,
nervous, rheumatic, stomach and kidney
trouble. What it does it does thoroughly,
and mainly for this reason it is Endorsed
and recommended by hosts of respecta-

THE TRUFFLE.
Where It Grows, How 1t Is Used and
What 1t Is Worth.

What 1t is Worth.
Whether plainly boiled, like the hum
BILE potato, served in a snow-white nap
kin, and eaten with shavings of cold but
ter, or inlaid in tiny blocks like miniature
black dice into goose liver, turkeys
breast, or pigs feet-or, again, shredded
dellcately over the creamy surface of su-
premes de volaille-the truffie, despite its
cOstliness, is deservedly a faYorite escu-
lent throughout the civilized world. Only
two European countries produce it in any
considerable quantity, France and Italy,
the respective homes of the black and
White varieties. the latter of which
highly esteemed by many eminent gour-
mets-ls almost exclusively found in GER
tain Piedmontese valleys. Even in tru-
gal Germany, 1t is i'll such great request
among the weather. classes that strenu-
GUS efforts are at present being made to
encourage its local cultivation.
Until very lately, although the annual
turnover in the French trade in Peri
CORD trutfies has averaged fifty millions
of francs for many years past, German
soil has only yielded some two thousand
pounds weight of the 'tuber cibarium'
per annum, representing a value of 1000
marks, about the equivalent of $3.50.
Hence large quantity has necessarily
been imported into the Fatherland from
France, not only for culinary purposes,
but for the preparation of the famous
Strassburg ''truflel-pasteten" or "pates
de toie graz" and of the toothsome trut-
fled sausages which are manufactured in
vast numbers at Brunswick and Apolda
Nearly a tons weight of trutfles is util-
lied yearly in the Alsatian capital alone,
and about half as much more is work ed
up into expensive "wurst' in the other
German towns above mentioned. The
value of the total quantity annually
imported is between $4,000 and 10000,
inasmuch as the price of the French tuber
varies in different parts of the German
Empire from five to ten shillings per
pound, whereas the native truffie, being
free of duty, tetches from three to four
shillinps

THE B1LLvILLE CHRISTMAS TREE

We were all about as happy as the Lord would
have US be,
Till we took up subscription for the Bill
Vile Christmas tree;
An then the trouble come around an
swamped us left an right,
An there won't be any Christmas tree in
Billville Christmas night.
First, Parson Jones, he made a reach an
grabbed pair of boots,
Likewise two linen busters an three staYin'
Sunday suits;
AM Deacon Brownie pranced aroun' an
said he'd go to prison,
But the parson brought him to the groun' an
swore the boots was his'n!
Then Sister Jinkins grabbed dress an
started on the run,
But Sister Brown was in the town an kinder
stopped the fun;
Because" said she "'twas meant fer me
that dress, AS well as more"
AM then the two went rollin' like Jordan on
the floor.
Then Sister Spriggins said her gal deserved
the biggest doll
Then Deacon Scott said he guessed not-she'd
not get none at all;
Then Sister Spriggins went fer him an
whacked him side the neck,
Until he stood, worse than the boy upon the
burnin' deck
There never was a time like that; they fought
all over town,
Until they dragged that Christmas tree from
Bulville clean to Brown;
An that's jes' how the trouble come. an
Swamped US left an right,
An there won't be any Christmas tree in Bill

a Hottentot Superstition.

According to the Hottentots, the
moon once sent hare to inform men
that as she died away and rose again
so should men die and again come 10
life. But the stupid hare forgot the
purport of the message, and coming
down to earth proclaimed it far and
wide that although the moon was In
variably resuscitated when she died,
mankind, on the other hand, should
die and go to the devil, When the
silly brute returned returned TO the
lunar country and told what he had
done, the noon was so angry that she
touk up an AK and aimed blow at
its head to split it. But the AK
missed aud only cut his lip open,
and that was the origin of the Iiarelip.
Maddened by the pain and the insult,
the hare flew at the moon and almost
scratched her eyey out, and TO this
day she bears on her face the marks
of the hare claws.--N. r, Telegram.

New Lumber Development il
West Virginia.

Negotiations are now pending
between the Chesapeake & Ohio Rail-
road Company, aud the Rochester
Room & Lumber. Company, which
viii likely result in the estabiish-
ment of one OF the largest mills ever
erected IN West Virginia st the town
OF Marlington, on the Greenhrier
river, in Pocalionlas comfy. The
Rochester Company was chartered
some IN enths ago, and has purchased
about $4,000 acres OF timber land
located on both forks of Greenbrier
river above Warrington. 1t is COM
posed OF the following well-kno wn
business and professional men. Hon.
John L, McGraw, OF Grafton, w.
Va. C. al. Warner and a. Ames
Hewlett, of Syracuse, n. Y; Eli NJ.
Upton, Henry HI. Craig, John n.
Beckley and Marsenus ii. Briggs, of
Rochester, n. Y. The capital stock
OF the concern is 81, 600, 600, all OF
which will be invested in the enter
prise. The land owned by the COM
panY is splendidly located for tim-,
/ bering operations, being cut by
both forks of the Greenbrier river
1 in such a way that all the timber
may be floated to the mills at Mar
linglon. The land is stocked through-
out with oak. poplar, cherry, black
birch and ash, Spruce is the most
plentiful OF all the woods, and cherry
follows close second. In per-
sonal letter a few days ago Mr.
Briggs who is president of the COM
\ - = a. a..
build saw mill which will have
capacity of at least 100000 feet a
day, aud that possibly larger one
would lie built. The company will
also put in dry-kilns, planing mills
and appliances for manufacturing
the product of the forest complete
on the ground. Mr. I. C. Pfaudcr,
of Defiance, Ohio, is said 10 have
prepared plans for the operating
plant winch call for most complete
establishment. 1t is reported, on
what seems to be good authority,
that the West Virginia & Pittsburg
Railroad, of which Senator Camden,
of West Virginia, is president, and
which is now in operation into Web
ster county, the county adjoining
Pocahontas, will be built through To
Warrington and beyond to connec-
tion with the Chesapeake & Ohio this
summer or next, doubling the trans
lportation facilities of the section on
which the Rochester Company will
operate. In that event there will he
other aud equally extensive develop
nent in tho same region by other
timber land owners. IL will also
open the Pocahontas county iron-ore
fields, which are known to possess
such richness, and which have lain
so long waiting for transportation
facilities.
