oMeNs or MARRIED LIFE.

Signs That Are Believed to Predict Happi-
$50 p nose or Misery.
On the day of the marriage SO many
superstitions enter into every detail
that it Is very wise bride indeed who
remembers all those little acts that are
so sentient with meaning in regard to
the future, II by chance<she should
happen to put ON her left shoe first her
married life will prove unhappy; there
fore it behooves her to lopk carefully to
this-portion of her toilet and be certain
to select the right foot as the first to be
attended tor sr 4e
No bridal guest should wear = cos
tune entirely black, as such q choice
will bring sorrow to the bride. If the
best man stumbles on his way to the
altar, it is regarded as most ominous
proceeding, and at any rate is awkward
enough to merit rebuke.
The wedding ring should be circlet
Of gold, unbroken by any jewel, as the
significance of the ring demands that
its form shall be typical Of thSendless
love that prompts its bestowal.i To try
ON the ring before marriage is certain
TO bring dire misfortune, and many
there are who would regard taking it
off as an actual sin, holding fast TO the
belief that II was placed on the finger
for all time and not merely as the sym
boil of an evanescent affection.
When the bride leaves the assembled
company to change her gown she
throws her bouquet among the group.
and the fortunate one who catches il
is promised husband within year,
provided always that he or she Is sin
gle at the time. It Is the du ty Of every
bride who pretcnds at all to be yersed
in these superstitions to throw away
every pin that was used in her bridal
attire. The bridesmaids as rule are
willing to GO down on their hands and
knees on the carpet in order to secure
one of these lucky emblems, and each
one fortunate enough to possess her
self of even bent and decrepit speci-
men feels blest in the thought that
good fortune will attend her hence
forth. -Philadelphia Press

HIS SCIENCE AT FAULT.


THIS Phrsnozogist Saw Twenty Years Of
CrimInality in Jaller.
A phrenologist who has been touring
the country and giving lectures in the
art tells the following good one" on
himself. He was in the habit of in
viting people of different avocations to
come upon the stage. and he would d.
late upon and expound the peculiarities
Of their cranial construction. He had
come to that portion Of his lecture
where he dealt with the criminal form
Of crania and addressed the audience:
IF there il any person present who
at any time has been the inmate of .
prison he viii obliGe me by coming up
on the platform"
In response to this invitation heav-
ilybuilt man went up.
''You admit that you have been in
prison, sir?" Slv ~

swer. = 49, =.
''would you kindly tell MS how
many years you have spent behind
prison bars?'
"About twenty years. = unhesitating-
ly replied the subject.
Dear, DEAR" exclaimed the pro-
fessor. "Will you sit down. please"
The subject sat down in CHR at
the center of the stage. The professor
ran his fingers rapidly through the
hair of the subject and assumed =
thoughtful expression.
"This is most excellent. specimen.
The indications of . depraved character
are very plainly marked. The organs
of benevolence and esteem are entirely
absent; that of destructiveness is de-
veloped to an abnormal degree. Icould
have told instantly, without the con-
fession of this man. that his life had
been erratic and criminal. What was
the crime for which you were impris-
oned?"
II never committed any crime, T"
growled the man in the chair.
s'But you said that you had been an
inmate of . prison for twenty years?'
: $50 I have. but I never committed

s'Will you tell us why you were
there then?' persisted the professor.
"Why. you fool. I am jailer."

BREEDING HOGS.


Essentials to be Observed III You Would
Save Profitable Bacon.
To make hog breeding successful
and profitable the first subject for con-
sideration is that which is to produce
them. The male must be q thorough
bred two-year-old or over, well devel-
oped, of good health, weighing not
less than 500 pounds. strong and ac-
tive. The SOW should be his equal in
age, size and breeding, and roomy.'
All things being ready, mate them
One service is sufficient. Take the SOW
away and place her in yard, and give
her the range of some oat patch, with
feed enough to keep her thriving.
Avoid too much corn. Remember, now,
that the food for the sow is food for the
pigs One can not thrive without the
other. Feed bran, oats ana little oil
meal Two weeks before narrowing
time place the SOW in small lot, hav-
ing q shed in il, Make tenders on the
sides next to the J wall by nall
ing strips four inches from wall
and seven or eight inches high.
This will give pigs passwav

rowing the SOW seeds rest more than
anything else Give little water to
drink, but very little food the first
three days, then increase slowly til
you may give her full feed. The lit
tie fellows will want more milk every
day. Feed the SOW good slops with
some milk. bran. scraps from the kitch-
en-any thing now is relished, for the
pigs are drawing on her. Now you do
your part and give her all she will eat,
and that of variety. 1t will require
no science now. for hog win pay ac-
cording to the way he is fed. When
the pigs are two or three weeks old.
feed them by themselves, anything
that they like, milk and bral slop
soaked corn and oats Give them all
the green cane or anything of the
kind they will eat. With this
treatment your sow will come through.
In fine condition, and your pigs
will repay you for trouble. and feed
consumed. Wean them in eight or ten
weeks. Don't let up now; You have to
give to the hog first before you get
anything from him. Keep them grow
ing and have them ready for the first
buyer who comes along and then sell
them.
It don't pay to feed : hog two years
for 500 pounds Of pork. Make him
weigh that in eight or nine months-
You can do that ii you have good stock.

Their Value In the ECONOMY Of the Poul-
try Yard.
To induce hens to lay in winter, they
must have something to take the place
OF the green food they secure in sum-
'mer. When hens have their liberty
they eat large quantity Of grass, and
hens that get grass and exer-
else, with light food ration, are
almost invariably good layers When
the season comes that the fowls have
to be confined to the houses, and can
get nothing except what the attend
ant gives them, all the details in the
food rations that the hens get in sum-
ner must be supplied, or q suitable
substitute. Years ago it way supposed
that hens in the winter must be fed
nothing but grain, and that mostly
corn. Now, the wide-awake poultry
man feeds a large preparation of
hay to his laying stock, thereby lessen
ing the cost of wintering greatly, and
securing a great many more eggs than
were secured in former years. Clover
hay is generally considered richest in
lime and egg-forming material We
have found lawn clippings to fill the
bill admirably. As general thing.
lawns contain more or less white clover.
and the other varieties of grass used
are tender and juicy, where long
enough to be clipped with lawn
mower. Lawn clippings have some adj
vantage over clover hay: First, they
are always cut and ready for feed; sec
ond, all can be used, whereas clover
hay has large stems which the hens
can not eat, and which are of no par
ticular value. Each week our lawn is
mown and the clippings are carefully
dried and packed away in sacks. When
cold weather comes, and the hens can
not go out of the house, the clippings
are soaked in boiling water, and a lit
tie bran is sprinkled over them, and
the hens relish them. They not only
serve as food. but form the best-kn0wn
material for packing eggs for Matching
in. They are light and elastic, there
by preventing them from breaking
when shipped As a packing material
they can't be excelled. :. - #
There are hundreds Of people in our
CLUES that Keep a lew FANCY chickens
in the small back yards, where they
can get no food at all except what is
given them. These parties can easily
procure lawn clippings for a. small
sum, if their own lawn doesn't supply
enough, and no better green food can
be found for summer or winter.
As we have already stated, one great
advantage In lawn clippings is that
they are already cut and easy to stow
away. Be sure they are thoroughly
dry before you pack them in the sacks,
or they win heat and spoil. You viii
be surprised to see how far they viii
go wheh soaked. For the city fancier
they are much cheaper than the cut

the farmer they are cheaper than put !
