that the men starved the poor fowls,
which was the cause of this voraclous
eagerness for rations from the house.
but now know it is nothing but dew
iltry, pure and simple. Again, no soon
err is a bed nicely made than some evil
minded biddy, possessed with the spirit
of the father of lies, selects that par
ticular place for a nest and deposits an
egg, a good thing in its place, but not
suitable decoration for a sleeping
apartment, and having accomplished
this feat off she goes raising racket
that sets the housewives nerves a-trem-
BILE. About the barns and feeding pens
it is the same story over again. When
the horses are fee dozen clamorous
fussy hens gather about each feed DoX
and a good large share OF the tlreu
horses dinner goes to appease their IN
satiable appetites, to say nothing OF the
injustice of disturbing the honest
equine laborer during his short interval
for rest and refreshment. With pigs,
COWS and sheep it is the same; the ever
present hen must have a share of their
food as we'll as of everything that can
be picked, plucked or stolen all over
the farm. Then if particularly nice
set of harness is hung carefully to it
self. that set of harness is the chosen
roost of some half dozen enterprising
chickens and the results are distress
ing. The family buggy, too, is not neg
lected, and the Sunday reflections of the
family about starting for church would
not make good reading. l have also
had another object lesson along differ
ent lines, but still connected with the
poultry. A writer in a late Colorado
paper has the following: Because a
man is a man, should he have all the
good things Of this earth? Must he
have the horses, the COWS, the hogs and
sheep. and then have the chickens, too?
Shall he not then have the whole earth
with a barbed wire fence around it,"
Time was when the farmers wife had
the proceeds of the poultry yard for pin
money and she sometimes flew high
with the results of sales of eggs and
spring chickens, but now, somehow or
other, the chicken money goes into the
family purse, which is, nine times out
of ten, controlled by the man of the
family" that uncrowned monarch who
grudgingly dOles out to those who have
done their full share towards earning
the ava liable finances such pittance for
household requirements and their own
personal expenses as he in his wisdom
thinks ought to be enough for them.
Not all farmers, it is true, grudge the
money their wives spend, and the pro-
portion of those who recognize that
their matrimonial partners are entitled
to a share of the rewards as well as the
trials of their mutual business is, we
are glad to say, increasing; but II the
men could be for a short time in the
places of their hard working, patient
wives and realize how hard it is to
have to ask for every cent Of spending
money that would be an object lesson
that would be worth millions of dollars
to the women of our agricultural dis
tricts and make life easier and pleas
anter for them for all time.

Rreeds Running Together.

When the Matching season ends the
different breeds can run together in one
flock, says American Poultry Keeper.
1t would be an advantage to have no
males with them, but it will not injure
the stock should the males and hens be
of different breeds. Some breeders con-
tend that when hen is kept with a
male Of a different breed her progeny
will never again be up to standard re-
quirements in points, but we have new
er known any injurious results from
such a course if the breeds are sepa-
rated two months before the eggs are
to be used. We have known Of the sep
aration Of the breeds to occur only ten
days before using the eggs, and in the
experiments made we found the in
fluence of the male to extend only five
days. We advise more time, however
and suggest two months, in order to be
sure that no mistake will occur. 1t is
expensive to keep the breeds separated

in summer More fences are required
and frequently the separation must be
accomplished by combining the hens.

to run together after the Matching sea-

years. with no injurious effects result

WAS HIS OWN LAWYER.
FRIEND NICHOLS AND GEORGE
TTNDAIL HAD A TIME AT THE
COURT HOUSE.

FRIEND NICHOLS AND GEORGE
TINDALL HAD A TIME AT THE
COURT HOUSE,
John p. Nichols, a well-known and
wealthy Quaker, of this city, recently
decided to get along without a lawyer.
Some time ago he issued 81 fas, return
able to the September term, in two or
three cases without the aid of an a.ttor-
ney. On judgments ne had already re-
covered against George Tindall, William
c. Guthrie and John McClafferty, he is
sued writs of levaria facias to effect
sale, causing them to be issued on his
own precipe
When the day set for the sale under
the writs arrived Mr.. McClafferty was
not able to attend to business and
Mr. Guthrie was out of town. Mr.. Tin
dali, who did not want his properly
sold, attended the sale. He bid the
property up to 81 200 against Mr.. Mich
OILS, and then when il was knocked
down to him hurriedly left the Court
House by the back door.
Mr. Nichols noticed his departure and
called the sheriff's attention to it. That
official ran after Mr.. Tindall and de-
manded the 10 per cent payment to bind
the sale Mr.. Tindall said he had q
man whom he expected to take the
property off of his hands, and he want
ed an hour or two grace. This was re-
fused, and as the 10 per cent. was not
forthcoming the properly was put up
again. Mr. NicOls protested against Mr..
Tindall bidding. The sheriff said he
had no right to refuse his bid. Mr.. Tin
dali ian the property up to $1,000 and
Mr. Nichols raised him fifty Acting
on the advice of counsel Mr.. Tindal
then stopped the fight and the property
was knocked down to Mr.. Nichols, who
is probably the first man to act as his
own lawyer throughout cases involving
so much money.

CONTEMPORARY OPINION
THE FATE OF GREECE.

The fate of Greece is discussed in the
Contemporary Review by E. J. Dillon
in a long and, ON the whole, instructive
and suggestive article. The truth is
that the government of Greece, like
that OF the United States, is in such a
condition as to make the annexation Of
outside territory ineXpedient. The in
ternal problems are so serious as to de-
mand the employment of all the avail
able political virtue for their solution.
But a few years ago the interest on the
public debt was scaled down." while
at the same time extravaganza prevail
ed in every department of the govern
ment The 'spoils system" fiourishes
luxuriantly, and the number of Office
holders is frightfully large.
The entire adult male population of
Greece is about 10000 and over 1900
of these are government functionaries.
The army numbers, at the highest esti-
mate, $4,000 men. but the civilians en-
ployed in the war office are nearly s.
OOO The Department of Finance has
over 2 200 functionaries; that of The in
terror has nearly 400. Under such an
incubus of public servants taxes have
been doubled within a few years, in
spite of the Reputation of the debt. AS
Mr. Dillon points out, the Greeks can
hardly be regarded as inferior to the
Roumanians; but the Roumanians have
succeeded in maintaining a respectable
government and in securing material
prosperity.
It is deplorable thing that Greece
should become tributary to Turkey, as
Is proposed by the powers, for no more
taxes can be wrung from the people
without oppression. But il is clear that
the amount OF the tribute could be
raised without increasing the taxes
simply by reforming the government,
and If the exaction of the tribute should
have that result. 1t might eventually
be for the advantage OF the Greekes II
they will learn to govern themselves
they will have opportunities enough for
expansion in the fuure.-New York

STRIKE OF THE MINERS.

The present strike of coal miners is,
In point of number OF men who are out
and in the vast interests which are at
fected, the largest and most important
labor movement in the history of the
country. II is decidedly the most re-
markable labor movement, inasmuch
as, while more than 10000 men have
quit work, and the most intense inter-
est is centered upon the outcome, not
one oct of violence has yet been at
tempted.
Heretofore in the United States the
idea Of strikes has been associated with
that Cf lawlessness and bloodshed In
this respect the present strike entirely
does away with the association Of the
two.
Il is very much to be hoped that the
cool heads among the labor leaders will
continue to guide the movement and
control the strikers, to the end that
there shall be no lawlessness and blood
she'd If labor and capital have differ
ences the ways of peace should be in
vOked to settle them. The miners have

WINNING A WIFE IN GREECE.

Sponge Gntherers Engage in Sub
mucous Contests for Her Hand.
In many of the Greek islands diving
for sponges forms a considerable part
of the occupation of the inhabitants.
A visitor to this unfrequented region
describes the following rather startling
custom. lie says: "Himia, which is a
little island directly opposite Rhodes
is worthy of notice on account of the
singular method by which the Greek
inhabitants of the island get their liv-
ing. On the bottom of the sea in this
locality the common sponge is found in
greater abundance than in any other
part of the Mediterranean. The natives
make it n trade to gather these. and
their income from this source is far
from contemplate; their goods are al
ways in demand among the Turks, who
use an incredible number of spOnges in
the ablutions prescribed by the Moham-
medan ritual A girl in this island is
not permitted to marry until she has
brought up a certain number of sponges
and given proof of her skill by taking
them from a certain depth. But in
certain of these islands this custom is
reversed. The father of a marriage
able daughter bestows her on the best
diver among her suitors. He who can
stay longest in the water and bring up
the biggest cargo of sponges marries
the maid.7
