SUNLIGHT AND coLoRs.


Remarkable Changes Produced by 1sanip-
uIation.
Every one knows the danger of mis-
takes in attempting TO select colored
articles in artificial light Only the
white light of the sun, containing all
the elements of color known to us, can
be trusted IN such cases to reveal the
actual hues possessed by the objects
under examination. Some interesting
scientific experiments on the effect OF
light in reveafing or concealing color
weae lately made by DR.. HI. w. VogeI,
the distinguished physicist and astron-
omer in Derliu.

and earthenware vessels against the
door of the house occupied by bridal
couple is still maintained, the object of
the fusillade being thedriving-away of
'''scolding sprites." This custom also
prevails in SARDINIA. In some parts OF
the orient the bride cuts off her hair in
tokens of submission to her husband,
and in certain sections of Russia she
pulls oil her husbands boots, the groom
at the same time giving her slight
cut with whip.
Betrothn4rnts are still announced
in. newspapers and by card in Ger
maryland Austria aswell as most other
European countries. In the United
States this custom has never obtained
footho'd ,D.pG aalong the Jews and
the direct descendants of foreigners.
An ilnportant IacIur, ,of comparative
ly recent development. in matrimonial
negotiations is the marriage broker.
Adopts in this profession have existed
from time immemoriaL In parts of
Asa, aud iil tic l.. 1islriets o. III.
ern Europe, they have always been CON
sidered Important personages; but In
genteel society they were not reeog-
nized until very recently. The marriage
broker Of Paris Is the prince of his pro-
fessicn. He usuially maintains COST
ly establishment on one of the fash
ionable boulevards. Applicants for
husbands or wives are listed and sehed-
nled. They have to give their names,
age. titles, possessions and prospects.
Their statements are carefully inves-
tigated, and If found correct, they
become clients of the establishment.
The modus operandi of the brokers is
as follows: After an applicant and his
wants have been entered on the books.
the agent proceeds to employ sub
agents who are familiar with the finan-
cial circumstances of all wealthy or
titled families. These designate "a
man or woman, as the case may be,
whose social position corresponds
with the requirements of the appli-
cant. The agent next ascertains what
places of public amusement are FREE
quented by the person he wishes to
meet. Having accomplished this, he
makes use of his large circle of ac-
quaintances in all classes of society
and secures an introduction. 1t is then
a very easy matter to bring the two
young people together; and in nine
cases out of ten marriage results.
For his trouble the broker receives an
entrance fee and certain percentage
of the brides dot, without which no
marriage is made in continental Eu,
rope. Many attempts have been made
to establish similar matrimonial bu-
reaus in the United States, but hitherto,
let us thank the good sense of our peo-
pie, without success.

young man can begin his wooing in
earnest. In China girls are betrothed
atA very early age, many brides being
scs4eely ten years of age. After mar
riage the girl is taken to her husbands
home, where she becomes the virtual
slave of her mother-in- law, whose
every word is law. My informant ar
gued from this that the stale mother
ih-law jokes of our period must have
had their origin in the celestial en-
pire.
The most nonchalant method of
counting of which we have authentic
records is practiced in the Tonga is
lands and among some Australian
tribes. When man happens to see
a maiden who pleases his fancy he
knocks her down with a club and car
ries her to his hut. Among the Ben
gals of India the maiden does the chas-
ing. She pursues the youth of her
choisykin true foot-race style. When
she has caught him he is carried to
river or creek by the girl and her
friends and immersed with ven
geance, a proceeding which always
terminates in wedding.

How sportsusen I'm the Adiro adacks Quar-
~ Their Game.
Long lake Is one of the best feeding
grounds for deer in the Adirondacls,
growing as it does kind Of spice weed

change, is very curious and interesting;

ceed." 1t is the custom of this animal
to browse on its way down to the water
at night for drink, and the slight crash
made in coming through the brush be-
trays them to the guide, who, with his
companion seated In boat, is slowly
and noiselessly padding close to shore,
and nearer and nearer to the locality
from whence the sound comes. AL
though there are many other noises
abroad on the night air none can mis-
take this particular one. The guide
holds his breath or emits 1t in quick
gasps. Absolute silence on the part of
the inmates of the boat prevails.
The night wind blows softly. The
stars are reflected in the still water.
The air is heavy with the fragrance
from woods, flowers and trees. The
boat drifts or is propelled so gently
that 1t is calculated to deceive ones
own senses as to whether, after all, 1t
is not all a dream. The occasional
sound of the paddle sounds like the
ripple of water or the tapping of the
waves against the shore when sudden
ly another and unmistakable crash is
heard close at hand. The cap is off the
jack lantern, instantly search-light
is thrown over the lake and adjacent
wooded shore. Two bright eyes are
seen, terrified whistling is heard, and
the deer starts to run, but it is too late;
whiz and bang and fine four-year-
old buck falls to the ground. The
tense straining of every muscle and
nerve is relieved and followed by the
widest excitement and connection as
the boat is hastily padded to share.

Bran VS.. Clover Hny.

Many farmers feel that the present price
Of wheat bran is too high, considering the
low price OF wheat. but the millers show no
disposition to lower the price This is due
10 the fact that very few farmers have any
thlng to substitute for bran in the dairy
ration The only way to secure cheaper
bran is to stop the demand by providing
some other feed
In a recent article on this subject T. 3.
Terry says: I'VE may raise our wheat
bran largely by growing the common red
clover and cutting it early for hay. BY cut
ting it two three times in season |
could certainly grow what would more than
equal three tons of bran per acre Theo
Lewis, the noted hog man of Wisconsin,
used to say at the institutes that by cutting
a ton OF clover quite early, before it was
hardly in bloom, it was just about equal to
ton of bran to feed his pigs. Many might
to great extent grow ter own wheat
bran for less money t..,an they are now
paying for it, and. at the same time the
Clover COW i-as, etc, would benefit their
ianu' III course / know that cows and
othe... animals need some grain, some more
concentrated food. They cannot always eat
enough hay and fodder to enable them to
do their best. But they will need much less
grain with good early cut clover hay as a
part of their ration in the place, say of
timothy, or if you have some COW peas
mixed with the ensilage corn. Wheat bran
used to be very cheap But now when If
sells for almost much per ton as wheat
there must be a good many farmers who
are running up prices on themselves and
who could raise the albuminoids chearer
than they buy them in bran. Bran fur
nishes this element largely. that our fodder
and ensilage and timothy hay are deficient
in. That is one reason why we need it,
But clover hay contains nearly as much
again as timothy. Why not raise more
clover and buy less bran? The mills -,
raise the price just as high as they - vi
get rid of their product, and tho, - an,

Senator Allen Takes Occasion To De-
fend the P0pulist Party.
WASHINGTON, d. c.. JAM 15.-The
senate gave the day to further dis
cussion, in which the income tax served as
a text for wide range of discussion on
tariff, currency and Populist platform. MIR.
Hills proposition made last week to amend
the deficiency bill so that the income tax
would be tested in the courts has appar-
emily started an inexhaustible flow of
speeches on public affairs in general Mr..
Cockrell in charge of the deficiency bill.
has sought vainly to secure a vote on the
Hill amendment SO that the deficiency bill
might move along to final passage. He
hoped to secure action today, but the
speeches of Mr.. Call Fla.), and Allen
(Neb.) made this impossible. Mr. Allen
took occasion to defend the Populst party
against many charges made in and out of
congress that 1T was a party of vagaries
1t led to a very full discussion of The Pop
ulst doctrines aud a comparison of them
with the doctrines of other parties
Mr.. Allen urged that the two old parties
had served their periods of usefulness. and
that the Populist party. representing the
masses, was the party of the future. 1t
had cast a million votes in 1893 and two
million in 1894, showing the phenomenal
growth of 100 per cent. 1t had no vagarie
as senators had asserted.
Mr.. Allen read the Populist platform
adopted at Omaha, and in commenting on
it, stated that the Populists believed in the
election of United States senators by the
people.
THAT doctrine" interrupted Mr.. George
Dem. Miss) was embodied in a resolution
by Democratic house of representatives
before the Populst was thought of. II
will be found that whatever is good in the
Populst platform was taken from Demo
cratic principles.
"Another Populist accession from Demo
cratic ranks said Mr.. Allen.
mo, not an accession" declared Mr.
George 1.-The Populists are following the
Democrats, not Democrats following Pop
ulists. Give me your national platform and
