Fee ding Table Birds.

A great loss is sustained on farms
in general by neglecting to fatten
table birds. Excellent authority says
"the bird is allowed its liberty, and
frequently but scanty living until
the morning when the pot-pie is
wanted, and the good wife feels of his
bony frame and sighs, sometimes even
wondering that it is not fatter. Every
bird should be shut up in close, clean
quarters, and fed for seven to ten days.
Kept in confinement longer than this,
most birds begin to pine, lose
their appetite and decrease in
weight The feeding troughs
should be well scalded out daily, or
every other day If the weather be
cold, and sharp grit kept within reach
of the fattening birds. Sweet oat
meal and hot corn meal mash are
among the best things to induce rapid
fattening. The feed should be
very slightly scalded. In this way
every bird may be made to gain from
one-third to one half in weight with
out noticeable expense, and whether
for selling or the table it means con-
siderable profit. A little salt in the
food once a day is also advisable"

Married In Two and . Hal. Seconds.

While the town board meeting OF
West Indianapolis was In session
the other night Justice Of the
Peace Allen, who was present,
was summoned to perform q mar
riage ceremony. The contracting
parties were John Perry and Miss
Mary McGreevy. The ceremony was
performed at the residence OF the
bride on Bridge street When Mr..
Allen entered the house he was in
formed that it was desired by both
parties that the ceremony be short
one. Mr.. Allen promptly tied the
knot. Mr.. Wynne, who had taken
his watch from his pocket to note
the time consumed in the ceremony,
startled them all by announcing that
the worlds record had just been
broken.
..You have taken only two and one
half seconds in the ceremony"

Feeding Ground Meat to Hens.

The usual way of feeding ground meat
is to mix it with ground grain of some
kind. This is unnecessary. 1t should
be fed as variety, and in a way to
afford change. There should be
certain meals, on special days, for
giving it to the hens. For
instance, give it at night, on every
other day, in q trough, unmixed with
other food, SO that .he hens will have
nothing but the ground meat for that
meal. The next morning give some
other food, as corn, and the following
meal may be of wheat or cut clover.
The ground meat may be given plenti-
fully, if fed in this manner. Simply
allow the hens to have all of it that
they will cat, and they will relish it
and find it beneficial If fed on meat
every meal, it may cause bowel diff
Guilty; but given once every two days,
il will not be in any manner injurious,
and will prove of great assistance in
inducing the hens to lay at this season
of the year.-Ex.

women, the writer included, think $50

down stakes in front, leaving just

is iGcongruous, like the remark of

He can run after departing train and huri
himself on the back platform, instead OF
signing and then sitting down demurely and
waiting twenty minutes for the next one.
He can call on the girls he likes and let Sc
yerely alone those he doesn't care for, while
a girl must entertain one caller rs courteous
ly as another. This is one of mans greatest
privileges.
He isn't frowned upon II he casually re-
marks that he's In love. A girl Is expected
to conceal such secret as carefully as she
does the fact that she still owes SLIT to her

AN AssYR1AN WEDDING.
Peculiar Oriental Ceremonies Per-
formed in Illinois.
From The Baltimore American.

Cairo, ILL.,, Jan. 14.-There is a large col
ony of Assyrians here who come from
Beyroot, on the Mediterranean sea, 100
miles from Jerusalem. Two of their num-
ber Salina Tannoos Salibi and Miss Jan
ME George, are being married.
The wedding festivities began three
days ago, and while the groom has been
feasting and dancing girls have amused
him, the bride-elect has been fasting,
closely yelled and seated on a reclining
chair beneath white canopy. At noon
yesterday the native ceremony was per-
formed. Tambourine girls in native cos
tunes danced before the groom, who was
seated on throne alone. They sang the
questions in their language and his replies
were spoken in the same tongue. AS the
final question was sung he arose and re-
NAMED standing, When he concluded
the tambourine girls Frustrated them
selves before him.
The bride, still yelled, dressed in heavy
purple satin, with profusion of jewelry,
was led in, and all then entered carriages.
Eight vehicles were filed, and, preceded
by two Assy rians, who enacted the sword
dance, brass band, and guarded by a
platoon of police to keep the crowds back,
they paradel several streets to ST. Pat
rick's church, where the Catholic cere-
mony was performed.
After this ceremony the bride was un-
yelled, and, re-eutering the carriages,
they and the band paraded several other
streets. When they reached home the
bride and groom stood up insthe carriage,
showered nuts and candies on the crowd,
burned small quantity of paper money
and the marriage was over, The festixi-
ties will continue until Tuesday noen.u
