and verses. Her principal fad Is her lord

not at all aesthetic In appearance. Next
come her gowns. For evening they are
barbarically splendid, made like flowing
robes, covered with lace and jewels and
ornaments. Her fad in animals is white
kitten, which came all tho way from Paris
In Grated box. For its especial amuse.
inent Mrs. Wilcox strung several thousand
shells on ribbons and made portiero oi
them, which also serves rs plaything foi

Glove ONE ANOTHER"

A gentleman once said to me in the pres
ence of a great grief, us it not mistake
that we allow ourselves to think so much OF
each other that we allow ourselves to centre
so much OF affection in single human life,
or in two or three human lives until the time
comes when nothing can happen to such
life, which does not undo and crush and mar
tyrize our own?" And 1 could not help
thinking how much better it is for any life to
be undone and crushed and martyrlZed than
to 60 through its earthly career without the
blessings in some deep and abiding form OF
love. 1t is natural to the genus man to be
hungry for love. He wants its light in some
body's eyes, he wants its arms about his neck.
1t makes every moment Of sickness an anX-
ious moment it makes every moment of
parting one that changes the front OF the
universe for somebody; but sum up oil the
memories of sanctifed homes, OF self-sacri-
fcing mothers and gentle fathers, OF affec-
tionate brothers and sisters, OF manly sons
and womanly daughters, OF friends that come
with influences of benediction. OF neighborS
and fellow-citizens who feel somewhat OF
each others losses and gains-sum 1t all up.
and tell me who would forego it to be rid OF
the struggles and the sufferings which Its
very depth and intensity bring! The omnip-
otence Of the heart! lit is the divine spark
within US which no experience can quench:
it testifles of its possessor that he is "a Sod
though in the germ. ."-Frederic A. Hinck!ey,

ANOTHER CHANGE NEEDED.

Do not most Christians need another con =
version Certainly this must be true If we
are TO reckon all the members OF our
churches as Christians. For only small
part OF them are doing much If anything for
Christ, are bearing witness to His power TO
save are making themselves felt on the
side OF righteousness, are manifesting
concern for the salvation OF others.
Only few put Christ and his church first in
the arrangement OF their plans, the manage
mcnt of their money, the disposition OF their
time. They have more or less fallen away
from their first love. They surely need re-
newal And this renewal Of their primary
conservation. which has been lost sight OF
in the rush of life. may be attended with
80 much increased light and be marked
by 80 great Hn upliit, that it may perhaps,
with propriety, be called a second con-
version There may be rs great change.in
consequence of it. from the life they had
been for some time ivi"g, us there was when
first they found the Lord. And the change,
whatever name be given it. is unquestion-
ably demanded in the interests both OF use
fulness and happiness. Our churches greatly
need more members who are dead in earnest
70 be good and to do good.

EXPERIENCE IN POULTRY RAISING.

Noticing your request for experience
in poultry raising venture to give
mine. Ihave kept poultry in small
way about seven years. In the be-
ginning I kept account of eggs until I
found that poultry keeping was very
paying business. My accommoda-
tions for keeping fowls are very limit
ed-fowls having no range except a
very small pen. But I manage to get
eggs the year round, making special.
ty of eggs in winter. In winter 1 feed
the fowls, mornings, on warm mash OF
middlings two parts and bran one
part, at night corn only. In summer
T give the mash with oats and wheat,
corn very sparingly; also keep them
we'll supplied with cracked shells and
plenty of water-always in winter.
Have had little experience with diff
ferent varieties of fowls, especially
Barred Plymouth Rocks, and thought
them the fowl par excellence, until l
tried the White Wonder fowls. 1pro'
cured a sitting last year, Matching
them in June. Twelve fowls were
wintered in o pen six by six feet square
without any other run. They began
to lay the first of January and have
laid constantly ever since, keeping tho
egg basket filed with fine brown eggs.
As egg producers they cannot be ex-
celled for the table, being fine, plump
and juicy. They reabout the size of
the Rocks, and being pure white,
without colored n.feathers, are Ger.
tainly for on all-round fowl ahead OF
anything I have met. My pens are
we'll lined with tarred paper, as find
that cold draughts and fowls won't
prosper together. Gas tar is also used
freely about the sides and perches, it
being one of the best ofinsecsicides,--

ENCOURAGEMENT TO TEACHERS.

Parents who are not Christians themselves
sometimes desire the best religious instruc-
tion for their children. Two illustrations Of
this fact came to cur knowledge at the open
ing OF the present school year. A mother. In
placing her daughter at Il fine private school,
remarked ~ have never felt the need OF
going to church myself, but think it will be
a help to my daughter. want her to come
in contact with Jesus Christ, to make him
part Of her life." The other case was that OF
an irre!gious father. who WIS naturally ex-
pected to demur at the observance Of daily
worship and grace Mt the table. But when
told that these customs were observed at the
school he eagerly expressed his approval.
Little incidents like these furnish real encour-
acement to the earnest teacher, who feels
thut her efforts in trying to develop the spirit
ual nature OF those under her charge will be
neutralized by home influence.

CRACKED HOOPS.

This trouble is mostly duo to want
of care of the horses feet, and quite
frequently to the standing in manure.
A horses feet should be frequently
washed, and then we'll rubbed with
pure vaseline; the floor of the stable
should be of earth, on the front half,
and the whole should be kept we'll
Uttered. Sawdust is the best of all
kinds of litter for the horse stable.
The horn of the hoof naturally con-
tains nearly one-half its weight of
water, and it is this water to which
the electricity of the horn is due. If
by any means this water is driven out
of the horn, either by absorption or
internal Inflammation, the horn will
shrink, and then, unable to bear the
tension due to the pressure of the
weight of the animal, it will crack,
and it is a difficult matter to heal the
cracks. Thus it is far easier to pre-
vent the trouble than to cure it. But
frequent soaping of the hoofs, with
the application OF vaseline or glycer-
inc, but not grease or ter, will in time
restore the condition OF the horn. -

A SchNol.Girl Vile.

Arrayed in her sun bonnet and
checked apron, with school satchel and
lunch baaket, the young wife OF
General Cassius NJ. Clay, the octo.
2eenarian sage OF White Hall, may be
seen every week day morning with
the other children on her way to
school to the little unpretentious one
room school house near her palatlat
home at Waco, Ky.
When the General married her, last
spring, she was only fifteen years old,
and her parents having been OF the
humblest class she had no opportunity
TO acquire an education. In domes'
tic economy, however, she was an ex'
pert, knowing how to milk, make
butter, cook and attend to the house.
Since their marriage, however, the
old General, who owns one Of the most
magnificent places in Kentucky, and
lives in scholarly ease with his books,
pictures and papers, has been trying
to wean her from her former plebeian
WAYS and make her a congenial com.
panion. With this end in view he has
had several governesses at White HAN
the past summer. but suspectlng the
last one, it is said, of trying to prelu-
dice his wife against him by telling
her that she was too young and hand
some for her gray-bearded partner, NJ
dismissed her, starting his wife to ting
common school near BY, presided
over by a Miss Tudor, o very accom-
plished teacher.
The General, it is said, is as foolish
over his young wife now as when they
were married, and has one OF ms
armed retainers to accompany her TO
and from school. She is said to be
very bright, and obeys her aged hus'
band with flial submission, never
going away from the house without
asking his leave. Her name is Dora,
but in speaking of her to his friends
he invariably calls her his "peasans
wife. st. Louis Stsr-Sayings.

INTELLIGENT READERS.

The most intelligent reader is the one who
knows how to "skip" judiciously. There
are still few conscientious souls who con-
slider it breach Of morals to pass over un-
read a single paragraph in volume which
they have undertaken to master. But the
person who can CLEAN what he wishes from
book and ignore the rest will soon acquire q
literary Judgment which the other class OF
readers do not possess, and will also be
able to read more extensively. The
same principle OF skipping can be yari-
ouslv applied in household science. There
are certain garments which may quite as
well be worn unironed, certain seams that
need not be closely overcast, certain rooms
that will not suffer If the weekly sweeping Is
occasionally omitted. In the realm OF human
relationships, too, let Us learn to skip wisely.
Let US pass over vexations and recrimina-
tions and complaints and hurry along to the
pages that are bright with hope and cheer
fulness and forbearance. The best mothers
understand when TO skip childish errors and
when to make them subjects of discipline.

selves in sheer delight. This time, to
prolong the enjoyment. they began.
"Say, missus! 'Scuse US, but you

aEMopELING OF The SOUL.

The artist sits at his table with his clay be-

statute-rhe arms. the hands, the features,

Your SOUL residing within your body, models
your body. it models the fingers which grow
flexible at the piano by that which the soul
directs them to do; their fitness for service ls
made. not by fingers working on them from
without. but by a soul working on them from
within. So the face is made by the
soul that lies behind the face. If there
is fire which flashes from the eye. or
kindliness which looks out from it. it Is be-
cause the soul has fire or the soul has love:
if there are grooves OF care nodded IN the
brow or in the cheek. it is net by an external
artist who shapes them rs Rogers shapes
them in his statute. You yourself, by YOUR
