WATCH YOUR WEDDING PRESENTS.
II You Don't, an Honorcd Guest May Mys-
tcrinnslv Walk OF with Them.

tcriOuSly walk on Win Them.
Here is Il story that illustrates two facts
first the foolshness of persons making
bogus wedding presents, or if not bogus
presents pretcntious gifts, and, second,
that no matter how carefully you may i'm
vite your guests to your marriage it is well
to watch them, for people in good society
will steal
As far back as 1855 in n small Hudson
river town, young woman was married
to her fathers confidential clerk In ad.
dition to winning his bride the young
man secured n partnership in his father
n-laws concern, and on the day of The
wedding there were displayed, as was the
custom in those days, the presents. Among
them was Il check for $1,000 from the
brides father.
The couple lived happily together fol
nearly 80 years, when the husband died.
At intervals the wife visited her old home,
met and convcrscd with her old friends,
reared her children in the fear of the Lord
and was in every way good mcmbeT OF
society. A few years after the death OF
her husband her father, then n venerable
old man, died. When his estate was set
tied, the daughter and widow found herself
charged in tho will with SO, 900, to be Re.
Quoted from her portion of the estate.
But" said she to the executors, Il
never received this money and it is not
fair to deduct it from my porion of the
estate. | don { care to contest the will, bat
l think there must be some mistake about
it. l rccollcct the check among my wed
ding presents hut l never saw it after
ward. l supposed my husband took it,
and if he did it was all right, but l haze
no proof Of it either way
Tho executors We're in quandary, and
in some way the news of the missing
check became known in tho village. Then
a surprising thing happened. One of tho
most respectable citizons of the town, a
prominent member of the church, came
forward, and after good deal Of hcsita-
tim drew from his pocket Il faded slip OF
paper.
Sec what my wife found in an old suit
of Clothes" said he "I-I-I-don' t
know how it came there, but 1 thought il
might be of some service to you"
1t was the $40, 600 check. Whether in
jest or with the intention of stealing it,
the respectable citizen had put it in his
pocket. Having it once in his possession,
he found it an awkward instrument. lie
was equally afraid to use it or mention
the fact Of his having it until 30 years later
when the discussion regarding the will
made it posaiblc.-New York Herald.

Minute Description In Old Deeds.

Thbse who read old deeds are impressed
with the habit our ancestors had of de-
scribing man not only by his name and
residence, as we moderns do, hut by his
trade, calling or profession. Go back in
any of the Maine records so years or
more, and we find these things stated
with great particularly. So far as men
owned real estate under recorded deed
prior to 1880 or thcroabout, the historian
does not lack for information about the
business they were engaged In. Often
when a party to IA deed had more than
one kind of business the painstaking
scriycner wrote them all in, ms if the idcn-
tity Of the person would be doubtful with
out such description. Almost any man
can learn curious facts regarding his an
cestors and family connections by follow
ing back the cid land titles in the regis
tries. Lewiston (Me.) journal.

A SINGULAR FACT.

The Sense of Feeling Deadened in Crit
ical Moments.
1t is comforting to know that in ex
treme cases of bodily harm men suffer
much less than is commonly supposed.
Rustem Pasha, Turkish ambassador in
London, was once attacked by a
bear, which tore off part of his
hand and part of his arm and
shoulder. He affirmed afterward that
he felt no sense of fear or pain.
What occupied his mind was feeling
with so much satisfaction while thus
engaged"
Sir Edward Bradford, an Indian Off
Ger, bears similar testimony. He was
seized by tiger, which held him with
one paw, and then deliberately de-
voured the whole of his arm, beginning
at the hand and ending at the shoulder.
He, too, is sure that he felt no fear
He believes he felt little pain when
the fangs went through his hand, but
feels certain that he felt none when
the tiger was munching his arm.
The author of Among Men and
Horses" from whose book the forego-
ing facts have been gathered, relates
an experience of his own, bearing upon
the same point.
He was walking unarmed through an
Indian jungle, when tiger sprang up
almost at his feet. For probably two
seconds, which seemed as many years, "
says Mr.. Hayes, he raced round me,
while l stood stock still, wondering
why I could not put out my hand and
catch him by the tail. That was the
only thought that occupied my mind
during those eventful moments, until,
with a bound and a growl, the tiger
disappeared into the thick underbrush. "

AMONG TIE POULTRY.

WHEAT is cheap-better buy it in
stead OF screenings.
BUCKwuEAT and millet are cheap, but
the chiclzcna Ike them.
COOP care is better than trusting to
good luck wish chickens.
ALLOW four square feet of floor room
for each fowl in ycur poultry house.
CLovERHEADs or cut clover for the
fowls should be placed where they will
not be fouled or wasted.
A PIECE Of burlap sacl1ing tackled over
the roosts and kept soaked with kero-
sene will keep the lice away.
CABBAGE and turnips make a good
feed for the fowls during the winter
season. The fowls like variety.
GIVE ducks plenty of litter-straw,
hay Or leaves to ''roost' upon, and do
not compel them to get their bed under
the hens rCosts.
DRY-PICKED poultry sells the best.
When picked let it lie till the animal
heat is all out then pack firmly in clean
barrels or boxes.
CLEAR ont all cockerels that are not
needed for breeding purposes; they are
better in the potpie than the hen yard
at this season Of the year
For winter eggs keep pullets or
young hens, give them warm house,
exercise, plenty Of green food, meat
and grit in addition to grain and pure
water.
WITH daily demand for As, 1000 ,OOC
eggs in the United States, and an i'm
portation of over $4,000 dozens from
Europe each week, it will certainly pay
to give the poultry little extra care.

will permit the droppings rolling off.
Or the top ridge may be constructed
with sharp spikes projecting upwards,
and thus prevent the birds from roost-
ing upon it.
Inside the box, starting from the
front edge. where the bottom Of the lid
rests. is placed a board of the width of
the inside Of the box, slanting suffi-
GENTLY to c2rry its bottom ont two or
three inc2la1 from the front side of the
inner part Of the hopper, and termin-
ating within about an inch Of the bot
tom. When it is united in place, the
grain runs out beneath its lower edge
as rapidly as the pigeons eat the food.
The diagram Zig, p will perhaps make
this description clearer. 4 B is the
bottom of the hopper, D the top,
hinged at c. A D is the front, and G
the opening at which the pigeons feed.
E f is the slanting board inside the
hopper, the grain passing ont under T
into the space between f and A. The
grain is p ured into the hopper by lift
ing the lid, D.
Eighteen inches is a very good height
for q hopper, II one is made for a hun
dred birds it should be long enough to
have at least ten or twelve openings,
each one at least four inches distant
from any other. This would make the
dimensions say foar or five feet long,
twelve inches wide and eighteen inches
high. Several smaller ones can be
used instead CT exc large one, AID we
believe this is the better plan, for they
are more readily emptied out should
this be necessary.
Mice sometimes get into the grain
and give it flavor which is distaste-
full to the pigeons. To prevent this,
the hopper is sometimes placed on a
table in the middle Of the loft, the
table itself being supported by single
smooth metal leg which prevents the
mice from reaching the grain.
It scarcely seems necessary to urge
the importance Of keeping the hopper
filed, but it is q fact that many neg
lect this, because the supply given will
last some days. After little time one
can get acquainted with the time the
supply Of grain viii last and can then
fix certain definite days for the filing
Of the hopper. BY observing these set
times the supply will be constant and
the birds will not lack for food.-Coun-
try Gentleman.
