APPRECIATES HIS WIFE.
Why Kentucky Editor Calls Her His
"Bcttcr Seyen-Eighths."

Many of my friends have asked me,
and few strangers had the curiosity
to write and inquire: why is it that
you always speak of your wife as your
better seven-eighths?" In this brief ar
tice l will endeavor to explain, and /
use the personal pronoun, that the read
ers will the better understand me. In
Christian fortiuude she is as a fortress
capable of withstanding any fusilladc;
l put rifle pit with many unguarded
gaps in comparison. Her faith is that
of a healthy tree in full foliage and
fruit; mine like tree blasted, with an
occasional sprout that lends hope of
fruition, but so frail that the first cold
wave of espondency deadens and with
ers it. AS neighbor she embodies those
qualities expressed in the words of the
Master: "Do unto others as you would
that they should do to you;" am con-
tent to do by him as well as he had done
by me, and too frequently fall short of
that standard. AS nurse she is a sister
of charity reared in the Garden of Geth-
semane or in a nunnery of Nazareth,

sicllroom; 1 both impatient and irasci-

quently drone of disappointment. The
day is never so dark but the bright
light beyond beckons her on as bea-
con of hope; despondeucy darkens my
vision and obscures from view anything
favorable the future might show. Thus
in al the nobler attributes of life she
towers above me as the forest pine
about the stunted fig bush. During a
continuous companionship of over 22
years | have been sensible to these SUI
perior qualities, and / have been al
ways honest enough to say so. She
combines characteristics quintuple in
quality, and in her affections assumes
the place of mother, wife, sister, friend.
Al in all, she is the apple of my eye, my
best beloved, in whom am well pleased.
Such is my wife as 1 see her, and have
known her in all these years She con-
dones my faults, finds excuses for my
errors, sympathizes with me in sor-
row, and strengthens me in adversely.
Hence, / say, ''our better seven
eighths;" such she will ever be to me!

FARM AND GARDEN.
ABOUT EGG FARMING.
Three Elements Which Are Abso.
Iute1y Essential to Success.

Three Elements Which Are Abso-
lute1y Essential TO Success,
In these days of specialties farm
ing is much more divided than former
ly; we have fruit farming, dairy farm
ing, duck farming and egg farming.
OF those who have attempted the pro-
duetion of eggs on large scale a few
have succeeded. The chief cause Of
failure with those who have not been
successful has been that they SEEM
ingly undertook it with the idea that
all they had to do was to multiply the
small flock with which they did well
by 100 or 1000 to get 100 or 1000 times
as much profit. Multiplying the mum,
ber OF hens is the very smallest factor
of success in egg farming.
The first element in successful egg
farming is small flocks; the second is
economical housing; the third, facili-
ties for handling and cheaply caring
for the focks. The flocks being small
each one can be cared for and treated
as though it was the only one on the
place. The houses should be warm
and, convenient for the birds and the
attendant. 1t will be much cheaper to
limit the range of the f1ocks by their
own free will instead of by fences OF
runs. To do this, place the houses at
short intervals apart-ten or twelve
rods-and have them of different col
ors and with different surroundings, so
each may be readily distinguished by
its occupants when they wish to seek
quarters" at night or for laying.
One of the most successful egg farm.
ers in this country arranges the houses
of his hens along streets, ten rods apart,
through his farm. Half of the 12O-acre
farm is used as hen yard one year and
the other half cultivated. The next
year the houses are moved over to the
cultivated half and the hen yard used
for cropping purposes. The houses are
built on sills which form runners, and
a good team is used for moving them
in the spring. During the summer they
are moved their length every week; in
this way the houses are kept sweet, as
the soil where they are to stand Is
plowed before the houses are moved.
The object of this is to keep the houses
healthy with fresh soil as an absorbent
OF the droppings, which renders the air
pure without the labor and expense of
a daily cleaning, and also fixes" the
fertilizing elements in the droppings
and enriches the soil for next years

three or four back somersaults and
when they picked him up he rubbed his
shoulder ruefully. In fact the kick
nearly dislocated it and he was in pretty
bad shape for week. He couldn't tell
what was the matter with the gun, but
he showed how he loaded it, and that
explained lucidly enough what had been
the matter. The bullets were pointed
affairs with concave base. When the
gun went off the explosion expanded
the base and fitting closely into the
rifiing of the barrel, it cleaned the gun.
Pat had put his bullets into the gun
hard. Of course when the gun went off
there was a terrific kick.
"Why did you put the bullet in that
way?" was asked Pat.
"Sure, thin, because it wint in much
easier" he replied.
But the bullet! After it left the gun
it struck picket on the fence, splinter
ing it. Then it hit the earth in the mid
die of the garden patch, and richochet-
ting struck the target exactly in the
middle, and the great splotch of lead
tore the bulls-eye clean out of the target,
the best shot that had been made. Pat
got the IL hours leave, hnt his shoulder
did not permit him to ENJOY it much.
Poor Flaherty's taking away was
quite in keeping with his army career.
He served through the war and came out
alive with quite little money saved up.
While in the army he did not drink at
ALL but he came back to Massachusetts,
and married a girl who drove him to
rum as a solace for his woes. One night
he was coming home pretty well filed
up and he lurched and fell, lying pros
trate on the ground. AS he fell he had
thrown his arm out in front of him and
his face rested on his arm. His open
mouth was filled with his coat sleeve,
and Flaherty, who before he reached
the ground was in a drunken stupor,
did not know enough to move it away
no he could get air, AID he smothered
himself with his own arm.--Springfeli

New shades In stationery.

A leading stationer shows a window
full of opalescent shades in new sta
tionery, some of which have peculiarly
paradoXical names. They are all a

than the others, is called Turkish blue,
and a certain pretty sized is called the
Victor. They are all absolutely new,
and pretty indeed. The new salmon
pink, called crevette, a sort of pink
cream, is one of the prettiest, while the
colonial buff for colonial danes is also
very dainty. The violet shades are az
popular as the violets themselves.

How Expert Pastry Cooks Make a
Fresh Strawberry pie

One of the most delicious of all pastry
is pie of fresh strawberries. Line q
deep tin pieplate with the incest pastry
you can prepare. Fill the pastry with
uncooked rice and bake it in the oven.
When the paste is done remove the rice;
1t can be soaked and used for boiling,
or it may be kept on hand to bake in
pastry. 1t simply serves to prevent the
form of pastry from rising and getting
out of shape as it would if it were not
filled. Apple jelly is sometimes used
to fill the pie, and when the crust is
baked its contents are scraped out, leav-
ing perhaps quarter of an inch of jelly
in the bottom. The apple jelly is some
times given the exact flavor of straw
berries by mixing strawberry juice in
equal proportions with apple juice
when the jelly is made. When the crust
is filled with jelly it makes a rather
more elaborate pie, but takes more
time.
In either case, as soon as the crust is
baked dredge little sugar over it and
fill itwith perfectly ripe, luscious straw
berries we'll sweetened. Heap sweet
ened ana whipped cream thlckly over
1t. 1t may also be covered with mer-
ingue made of the whites of three eggs
beaten to stiff froth, four tablespoon
fuls of sugar and the juice of half
small lemon. Cover the berries careful
ly with the meringue, which is non
conductor of heat, and isolate the pie
plate holding the pie from the oven bot
tom by setting it on thick pine board,
and bake the meringue in this way in a
moderately hot oven for 20 minutes, If
the work of isolation has been properly
done the berries will not be heated, bvt
the meringde will have risen and VIII
be well done and only delicate brown.
Remove the pie to a cold plate and let it
become ice cold before serving it.-N.

A couch is an Indispensable article in

homes this room is apt to be the Ii

low book cases, with broad top for the
accommodation of clock lamps, jar
dinicres and bric-a-brac. A corner case
of this sort can very easily be combined
with couch after the manner suggest
ed in the accompanying illustration.
Here one may take his ease, with all his
favorite volumes convenient to his
hand, while at night the lamp above
his head will make reading and rest
irg especially delightful.
The bookcase proper is broken up by
drawers and curtuined spaces, to take
away the "set" look that long rows of
book shelves can hardly help having.
Peneath the couch are three capacious
drawers for the convenient holding of
old magazines, pamphlets or files of pc
riodicals one may wish to preserve.

hub soon reached the ears of the lieu
tenant, and he came down in tearing
hurry to see what the trouble was all
about. Pat brought him up short with
his bayonet, and demanded the coun-
tersign, although he knew well enough
who the officer was.
"Ticonderoga," said the lieutenant.
"llowly smoke" sighed Pat, "and he

Pat. 'Ticonderoga' wasn't the wor

"What was it, them" said the lieu
tenant, beginning to see the fun.
"Bedad, it was Wrong kind OF
roguery,'" said Pat, and - shout of
laughter went up from the group he
had standing around him. Flaherty,
having recently come over and not be-
ing well up in American history, had
not heard OF Ticonderoga, and had mis-
taken the word, although they had
drilled him carefully, trying to get him
to pronounce it. Not long afterward
the regiment moved to the south, and

/ "How's this? What is your name,

Sure it's Wrong kind of roguery,'
sir" said Pat, complacently, thinking
he had sprung good joke.
The major flew into a rage and or
dered Pat off to the guardhouse, intend

considered himself previously insulted,
and it was not until the captain of Pats
company explained the joke that
flaherty got off.
When the regiment was lying near
Alexandria Flaherty achieved the honor
of being the best shot in the company
through a curious circumstance. The
men shot at mark for practice, and
the man who made the best shot each
day was given a 12 hours leave to go to
Alexandria. The mark that Flaherty's
company was shooting at was on a
bank, and the men shot over picket
fence and across Il garden patch.
Flaherty had never shot gun in his life,
but when it came his turn he brought
his gun to his shoulder and let drive.

Hot MIX ns NutrIment,

If anyone doubts the nourishing
properties of milk, let test be made of
the following preparation of it: When
very weary or weak from exhaustion,
heat some milk to the scalding point,
until a thin skin begins to wrinkle upon
the surface, and then drink 1t as hot as
possible. 1t refreshes almost instantly
and restores the exhausted vitality to a

WOMAN AND HOME.
PRETTY VEIL CASE.
A Present which Is Not Only Attrnc-
tive, Hut Useful Also.

UNcs nut bScIul AlSO.
Many women find an added charm in
gift that has been the personal handi-
work of friend. The article seems to
acquire a sentimental value far beyond
it's actual monetary one in such case.
Yet, with plenty of spare time on their
hands, and all the necessary executive
ability, many givers of presents are
obliged to content themselves with the
purchase of their gifts ready-made be-
cause they cannot plan out anything
that shall be at once useful and orna-
mental, and so able to Justify it's anna
teur construction. To such puzzled
devotee of the work table, the veil case,
shown in the accompanying sketch, is
offered for consideration. There can
be no question about its pretty ap-
pearance, and any woman who has had
her good veilings spoiled with knocking
about in her drawers, to catch inevita-
bly, upon every glove, button or hook,
will decide that such separate recep-
tacle for them would be of the utmost
service.
For a present that is to be as hand
some as possible, the veil case should
be developed in white satin, with pow
derings of blue forget-me-nots, lin
ing of pale blue silk, and cord and
ribbons in a similar shade. To make
the shape, the ubiquitous mill-board
must be again called into requisition,
and two palette shapes cut from it;
the size may be decided at the work
er's pleasure, but generally useful meas
urements would be from ~ to s
inches in length, and about six inches
across. This gives the veil comforta-
Bile space, if it is folded carefully.
Cut two pieces of the white satin,
and two of the blue silk, the same shape
as the palette, only rather larger, to al
low for turnings. Then proceed to
stretch piece of satin and a piece of
silk on either side of cardboard por-
ton, taking care that there are no
wrinkles; turn the edges of the ma
terials inward, and stitch firmly to-
gether round the edge of the palette.
The remaining piece of satin must be

the corn is the better it will char. Put
the ears in a baking pan in the stov,

is burned crisp and black. The fowl
will eat it greedily, and it is well to feed
them full feed of it once week. This
is especially good for over-fed hens and
for chicks that have any tendency to

corn should be broken up before feed
