THE UNHAPPY MARRIAGE.
Some of the Causes of Trouble Between
Husband end Wife.

Husband end Wife.
When two people have entered into
the relation of marriage, calling God
and man to witness, they have per-
formed an act as sacred us a sacra-
ment-one held in some forms of re-
ligious belief to be indeed sacrament.
1t seems strange that into the awful
ness of anything approaching a sacra-
ment, a relation reaching back among
the mysteries of creation in its potent
results, people should allow small and
trivial concerns to make dissidence.
But in too many marriages this is
what happens. A thoughtless wife
maddens a worried husband an exact
ing husband wearies and wears out a
high-spirited wife. Sometimes they
fight 1T out in the union; and though
harm is done, it is much less harm than
comes in the more public way. Some
times the wronged party has regard
to the speech of people, thinks of others.
of acquaintance, friends, parents,
children, and bears the burden as best
it may be borne; sometimes thinks Of
duty, and calls on Heaven for help;
sometimes, when love and happiness
are gone, finds comfort in the love OF
Heaven. Sometimes forgetfulness is
nearly attained in some of the thou
sand pursuits of science, art, charity
or business. One thing is certain, that
forgetfulness may be found. And an
other thing is equally certain, that it
is the duty of both parties to find it.
Because wife loses her first bloom,
becaIise her husband outgrows her in
tellectually, because another has come
to seem lovelier in his eyes, a husband
Is afforded thereby no excuse whatever
for absolving himself from his mar
riage vows. Because husband is sell
fish, because he is parsimonious or
mean, because he is tyrannical, because
he objects to her friends, wife has no
more excuse. Life may become all but
unbearable with him or with her; but
if there are children with future to
be considered, it is to be borne, and
duty and decency must enforce be-
havior before the children that shall
hinder their injury from wrong influ-
ences so far as possible. 1t may be hard
to bear; it may be almost impossible;

The utmost frivolity, the utmost in
difference to his wishes, does not JUS
tify husband in pulling the cloth from
the table and all the china with it; his
pulling the cloth off does not justify
her in putting herself under the illegal
protection of another man. We do not
say, indeed, that if a husband persists
against his wife's wish in introducing
into the family an element or person
that the wife knows to be poisonous
to herself or to her children, or that if
the wife persists against her husbands
wish in any corresponding course, that
either party may not be justified in tho
determination to live apart from the
other. But there is, at any rate, dig.
nifty in separation that is entirely
wanting in divorce. And surely there
is still great deal of happiness posi-

POULTRY TREADMlLL.
Keeps Hens on the Move Until They Civ
Up an Egg,

Keeps Hens on the Move Until They Give
Up an Egg.
From England comes the news of O
new and ingenious way to make hens
lay. The plan has only just been put
into operation, but already it has been
attended with some measure of success.
It's inventor is young man named
Herbert Demands, of South Totten-
ham, one of the districts of London,
who was driven to hatch this device
out of his fruitful mind because of the
worriment his hens caused him. Day
after day they would not lay, and they
fiouted and they secuted him by walk
ing around and taking things very
easily, much to his financial loss. So
he pnt his wits together and made these
domestic bipeds walk the trcadmill"
until they laid.
His machinery, an elaborate bit of
carpentering, consisted of what is
called in England "hen rum which
was sort of Midway PIaisance for
poultry. 1t was a beautifully working
miniature treadmill. a hen who had
done her full duty was allowed the full
privileges of the run" hen who had
not, and from whom Mr.. Demands con-
in spite of all her futtering, upon the
treadmill, and made to walk it until
she cvened up her score and delivered
an egg. The weight Of the new laid"
would act upon a spring and the hen
would then be liberated TO the enjoy
ment of the run" j.
Not quite all the details have come to
hand as yet, but this much is Known,
that the poultry treadmill was great
success, and sure shot to get eggs
on demand. The only thing hen
could do, once placed within, was to go
up and up until she got over her sulks
and was ready to deliver the egg
Had it not been for most unpleasant
misadventure on Mr.. Demands part,
he might be celebrated among poultry
inventors to-day. Instead of that he
is now doing "a months hard" in the
local workhouse, where most of his
time is taken up in walking the tread
mill himself. For, lacking the lumber
to build his "hen rum" and luis ex-
cheGuer being slightly low in conse-
quence of the ingratitude of his poul-
try, he appropriated his building ma
terials from stock of wood that had
been stored in the immediate vicinity
to be used as flooring for some new
houses. The theft was not discovt red
until after the poultry run" was COM
pleted, but when it was found out the
owners of the lumber were exceedingly
wroth, and, refusing to recognize l.ud-
ding genius, they put the case in mag
istrate's lands at once.
So the treadmill for feathered bipeds
has nov been torn up, and the hens are
purs uing their life of ease in the ordi-
nary manner. Mr.. Demands will soon
be out of Jail, however, and will then
construct run" on even a larger scale
than before, taking care this time to Sc
cure his lumber legitimately.-N. Y.

shcathed, so there is very little to OBJ
struct the sunbeams. The gates to the
several pens are placed along the hall
way, and should be just four feet
Wide, so that when opened they will
reach across and close the hallway,
which will be found great conven-
fence in handling pigs, as it enables one
person unaided to sort out and separate
number, and arrange them as he may
wish.
As to the floors for pig pens, there
are divergent. opinions. That the dirt
floor is the healthier 1 have no doubt,
but it is far more troublesome to keep
in good order. If board floors are used,
they should not be nailed down, but
so put in that they may be taken out.
Great care also should be had that
crack in the floor does not admit
draught of air.
Again, serious objections are raised
against building lot of pens under
one roof, some breeders favoring indi-
vidual pens that can be moved from
place to place. For brood sows at far
rowing time a single pen is far pref
cradle. For wintering lot of hogs
the larger one is better. AS many as
co to 100 pigs can be arranged in the
eight-pen shed above described, and
still there need be no trouble. Use
disinfectants freely. Sprinkle with
carbolic acid. Use mercurial ointment
to keep pens free from lice. Change
the bedding frequently. Give the pigs
the run of the pastures on pleasant
days. With this kind of care your
cluster of pig pens will be all right

The county Of Pike is older than the State
OF Missouri itself, having been laid out in
1910. The town Of Louisiana was laid out
In the same year, so that Louisiana, Mo-,
and the Estate Of Pike" came into history
at the same time.
When the Territorial Government estab-

to Pike County the late Judge Stark, then O
young man fresh from Old Hickory's New
Orleans campaign. He started the nursery
and planted the first grated orchard in the
State, having brought the scions on horse
back from Kentucky.
The business has descended from father
to son, and Is now conducted by the third
generation, assisted by the fourth This
firm has more than / 900 statesmen and wants
as many more; business men, professional
ever inexperienced, are taught the business
and work the year round-recelving good
pay weekly. The company employs more
people in its offices than would be necessary
torun q large manufacturing concern. The
extensive packing-houses are connected
with the railroad by special track, whence
hundreds of car loads of trees are shipped
annually. The nursery grounds embrace q
number Of farms convenient to the city, and
even extend to Rockport III, where there
Is plant Of several million trees.

Distinguished Lecturers.

The appearance Of Ex-Gov. Bob
Taylor, the democratic governor OF
Tennessee, back in the latter part
of the SOS, with his brother ALT.
who opposed him as candidate for
governor on the republican ticket
was greeted by a large audience at
the opera house in this city last
night.
"Yankee Doodle and Dixie" was
the entertainment afforded. This
was a novelty in the lecture line
and only could have been evolved
from the fertile brains of these two
historical, uncommon men. Mr.,
ALI. Taylor led off with splendid
lecture on the northern states and
their people, industries, aims and
claims and held the rapt attention
of his audience to the close. He is
a man of great depth Of thought
and fine eloqunce.
His effervescent witty brother
Ex-Governor Bob, however, won
the hearts Of all in his
hearing when he followed with
lecture on Dixie, painting her
glories and her SORROWS. her home
life and her present condition in
glowing word pictures, extrava-
CANT and droll comparisons, OF
pathetic anecdote, and interpersed
the lecture with his quartette, in
which he carried the second to the
tenor, giving Dixie folk songs, lula
bys, old plantation melodies and
camp meeting tunes. His power
as an actor greatly aided him and
throughout he carried his hearers
through many emotions of pride
happiness, gayety and sympathy
The entertainment was not BIZ
tiresome and was ended all too
soon, many prominent gentlemen
and ladies remaining after the
audience was dismissed to become

brothers and present their con-

Dealer Accuse

Dealer Accused,
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 25.-
There is little doubt today that
Annie McGrath, the girl who was
found dead at 1926 Girard avenue
Mo9day night, was either killed as
a result Of plan for double suicide
with Samuel Langdon, a wealthy
coal operator, whose mistress she
was, or that she alone committed
suicide. Evidence thus far ad-
duced points TO the theory that
Langdon took her life and then
attempted to commit suicide, but
forsook ;this purpose and fled from
the house. He Is still a prisoner
in a room in the city hall where
he will probably be kept until a
chemical analysis OF the girls
stomach is completed. The most
discriminating fact in the case is
that the girls lips and almost the
entire interior Of the mouth
were burned and discolored as
II by acid poison, while Lang
don's tongue, from tip to
palate, is seriously liberated and
mucous passes, which, according to
his own statement, were not there
before Monday. This condition is
almost exactly similar to that ex-
listing in the girls mouth, except
that in the latter it Is more aggra-
waited.
