Keeping q Wife Young.

A certain amount of social life is
absolutely essential to all of us-to the
old as well as to the young, writes Ed
ward w. Box in pertinent article on
mans inability to see the things as
others see them,S in the May Ladies'
Home Journal. A woman never grows
so old that she ceases to enjoy the
company of others, and generally the
older she grows the more she enjoys
it, 1t is always a pity to see a ma n
fall into a state which he explains by
saying: "Oh, we're getting old and
don't care for so much variety in our
lives. " In the pure unselfishness of
his soul he always speaks of ''us, as
if it naturally follows that because he
is getting antiquated his wife must
keep pace with him in his decline.
Men all too often make their wives too
old. 1t is greater credit to husband
to keep his wife young than to make
her grow old. His actions and his
habits necessarily influence those of
his wife. Let him keep in touch with
the world, both he and his wife will be
the better and the younger for it. l
like to see man proud of his wife be-
cause she keeps young. Old age is
beautiful and has its advantages, but a
man makes great mistake when he
rushes woman unnecessarily toward
it. And he does it most perfectly
when he deprives her of those enjoy
ments which every man should give
his wife. No economy is so false, so
hollow and so misguided as that which
seeks to withhold one pleasure from
the life of good woman, a true wife
or loving mother. The best home a
man can give woman becomes
"poky," as one woman | know ex-
presses it, If she is asked to live in it
three hundred and sixty five days out
of every year. The Lord knows that
woman's life in this world is hard
enough. She travels path of endur-
ance and suffering, to which man, be
he ever so heavily afflicted, is an ntire
stranger. 1t was given to man to
make that path as pleasant, as easy
and as bright as possible. Every dol
lar which man spends for the happi-
ness of the woman of his home will
come back to him in double, yea, in
four fold measure.

How Corn Was Ground at One Time.

The watermill is older than the
windmill, but prehistoric corn-such
wheat, for instance, Pytheas, the first
traveller from civilization to Great
Britain, saw the natives of Kent dry
ing in large sheds ON account of alb
sence of sun-was ground in hand
mills, as is still done in the east. Quer-
ners, as the mills are called, are fire.
quently found in the cyclopean under
ground dwellings of Scotland. Their
simplest form consists of two thin cir
cular stones, the upper of which is
pierced in the center and revolves on
wooden or metal pin inserted in the
lower one. The grinder dropped the
grain into the central hole with one
hand, while the other caused the upper
stone to revolve by means of stick
inserted in a small hole near the edge.
The laboriousness of this operation
is well illustrated by story told of
Columbia. He was studying under
st, Finnian, and every night on which
it fell his lot to grind the corn with
the querne he performed his task so
quickly that his companions enviously
asserted that he had the assistance of
an angel in turning the stone. Wilson
thinks that at this time the early part
of the sixth century the querne was
the only mill in use. Large water
mills were introduced in the thirteenth
century into Scotland, and legal
means had to be employed to render
their use compulsory. y.-Gentleman' 5

THE PROMISED LAND

The half has never been told,
OF a land so rich and so wide,
Where seeds we SOW, and beets do grow
With sugar cakes inside;
Where taters big as wagon wheels
Do split the earth apart,
And IL takes four mules, and then boy
To role them in a cart;
Where onions large as candy pals
Do come from meath the soil,
And it takes mighty nelghboorhood
To eat one ere 1t spoil;
Where cows gives butter every day,
Some seven pounds or more,
And everybody plenty has;
No need to lock door.
Where chickens large as ostriches
Come out upon the side,
And catfish big as Jonah's whale
Do up the Nishna glide;
Where buildings are of finest brick
And not of rotten lumber,
Where chickens scratch up Jumps of gold
And let them go to thunder;
Where hogs worth $50 grow,
And steers a hundred more,
And berries grow, and babies, too.
And ducks and geese galore
Come to Iowa, then dear friends,
And in Fremont County land,
And you will prosper, and, at last,
VIII join the angle band.

UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE.
How to Secure State Scholarships In the
Institution.

The General Assembly of 1898 has
enacted a law abolishing the former
complicated system of appointments to
rec Safe Scholarships in the University
of Tennessee and establishing in lieu
thereof simple method of examin
ations for admission, This act praLti
cally throws the door of the institution
open to all qualified persons. The only
limitations now are those necessary
to secure students of proper character,
age, and preparation.
The law new, which is printed
below, provides:
1st. That all students who have com
pleted the course in city high school,
nigh school department, private school,
or academy. having course of study
pproved by the Faculty of the Uni
versity shall be admitted upon a Ger
tificate.
3rd. That examinations shall be
held at convenient points throughout
the State for the benefit of persons who
have not attended any of the above
schools. (See Catalogue, p. o.
Each representative can nominate
three, and each senator two, qualified
students, and the President of the Uni
verslty can appoint all others who pass
the examinations to free scholarships,
up to full number allowed by law,
which is large enough to include all
who apply.
Candidates for admission to the
Freshman classes must pass examina-
tions in at least three of the following
subjects, two of which must be English
and Mathematics
!; English. English grammar and
composition, as exhibited by an essay
on an assigned subject and by written
or oral questions.
2. Mathematics. Arithmetic and
its applications, algebra to quadratic
equations, and the first two books OF
geometry.
3. Geography, and History of the
United States.
A. Elementary physics and elemen
ary physiology,
.. Latin. A knowledge OF tn
orns, declensions, genders, conjuga
lions, etc. and the ability to read the
simpler prose writers,
q. Greek. knowledge of the noun
and verb infections, of the simpler
rules OF syntax, and the ability to read
selections from Xenophon, etc.
These requirements for admission
are determined by the course fixed for
the secondary schools. AS these
schools were not established until 1891,
and as their course covers three years,
these requirements can not be fully en-.
forced until September, 1894, The
minimum requirements for admission
next September are, therefore, a know
ledge of English as described above, OF
arithmetic and its applications, and
a satisfactory examination either in
geography and United States history
or in elementary physics and elemen
tary physiology.

Greedy movement, and the anything
to beat Grant" year. So the Demo
Gratis nominated the Hon. Rev. VIM.
Blount Carter for Congress, and of
course "Old Black Bill" was just going
to eat Judge Butler up alive ; but when
they met on the stump the Democrats
soon found that Carter was no match
for the willy Red Fox. He was smart
enough, but then he was not posted,
and Butler not only ruined him on the
stump, but beat him as badly at the
polls as Grant did Greedy.
The year 1874 was bad one all along
the line. The very foundations of the
great deep seemed to be broken up in
both parties, and at the August cleo
tion of that year there were from three
to seventeen candidates for every coun-
ty office. In the meantime Judge Gil
lenwaters and Judge Butler were hav-
ing first class picnic over the race for
Congress, and were making things de-
cidedly red hot. Butler was, somehow,
losing his hold on his party, while Gil
lenwaters was beginning to be looked
upon as the coming man. A few weeks
before the election the Democrats NOM
mated Wm. McFadden as their candi-
date for Congress, and he at once
lined" the show and began to make
the fur fly in manner quite refreshing
to the Democrats, and equally distress
ing to the Republicans, who saw moth
ing but certain defeat staring them in
the face. Fact was, something had to
be done, and done quickly, too. So by
some kind of an arrangement Gillen-
watere was induced to withdraw and
Butler was left to make the race against
Mcfarland. But it was then too late
to help matters the devilment had al.
ready been done, and Butler was badly
showed under at the November election
OF that year.
