Ring Giving In Spain.

1t is a dangerous thing for Spanish
lover to present lady with ring
unless he desires soon to marry her.
The Spanish courts have, over and
over again, held that such a present
was the same as a betrothal, and that
ring which had been presented by a
man is sufficient evidence of an en-
gagement having existed between
them.
Spanish brides have deep super
stition against removing the wedding
ring from the finger after it has once
been placed there. The only occa-
sion upon which they can be induced
to do this is when guests at the we'd
ding feast desire to pass pieces of the
wedding cake nine times through the
ring. These pieces of cake are after
ward taken home to be put under
pillows, and the young girl who does
this is supposed to dream OF her future
husband.-PHiladelbhia Times.

PluckiDg Fowls,

Plucking fowls may be easily and
quickly accomplished in this way
AS soon as the bird is dead immerse
it in pail of very hot water, the
water to cover all the feathers. One
minute is usually long enough to keep
the fowl under hot water. Too long
soaking is liable to discolor the skin.
After this hot bath the feathers are so
loosened that they can be almost
rubbed off. The bird is then rinsed
in cold water and wiped with soft
cloth. 1t should then be put into a
cotton bag kept for this purpose and
hung in a cool place. When fowls
are not to be used at once, they should
always be loosely rolled in cloth or
paper 10 keep them from turning dark.
Ducks cannot be managed in this
way, as their feathers contain so much
oil that the water does not penetrate
them.-NeV York SIN.

BEAR ADOPT A LITTLE GIRL

Little 4year-olds Helma Wesler
wandered away from her home near
Snow-shoe, Pa, Oct. az last, she was
swallowed up by the wilderness of the
Allegheny Mountains. A large search
ing party turned out but were unable
to find her Late in the afternoon
one day last week four lumbermen
found the child about a mile and
half from her home in the dense
woods, playing happily with two bear
cubs. The men were taking Helma
away when a 500 pound female bear
dashed out from the underbrush.
After a desperate struggle the beast
was killed with axes. One of the
mems arm was terribly lacerated and
amputation may be necessary.

How Grant Was Named Ulysses.

The story was curious. As related
by the father afterward, it appeared
that the common difficulty of choosing
a name for the babe arose, says Ham
lin Garland in McClure's Magazine.
Multitudes of suggestions only confus
ed tie young parents the more, until
at last ii was proposed to cast the
names into hat
This was finally done. A romantic
aunt suggested Theodore. The
mother favored Albert, in honor of
Albert Gallatin. Grandfather Simp.
son voted for Hiram, because he con.
sidered 1t handsome name. The
drawing resulted in two names, Hiram
and Ulysses.
1" Ulysses" it is said, was cast into
the hat by Grandmother Simpson,
who had been reading a translation
of Fenelon's "Telemacbus," and had
been much impressed by the discrip-
ton Of Ulysses given by Mentor to
Telemachus.
" He was gentle of speech, beneh-
cent of mind" Z" The most patient
of men," " He is the friend of truth.
He says nothing that is
false, but when it is necessary he con-
cedes what is true.
"His wisdom is seal upon his lips,
which is never broken save for an i'm
po5tant purpose"

Tired, but Hopeful.

The patriotic man looked blue. ''The year
grows old, - quoth he,
"And does not bring the various changes that
I've hoped to see.
For I've long believed an era Of good things
must come our way;
That peace and plenty, hand in hand, would
soon be here to stay.
Yet these publications down in Cuba cause
despair,
And the trusts demand the plenty as their own
exclusive share.
OF course I'll raise the stars and stripes and
greet them with a cheer
But I hope things will be different when July
the Fourth gets here.
''I'n ever love my country, let her course be
what it may;
But I'd like to be more boastful when make
speech that day
Iwant to see it soaring still with brilliancy Il.
spent;
want the rockets splendid flight and not tho
sticks descent;
want to see its myriad glories dazzling moro
and more,
Not smoldering like the embers when the cele-
brations DER
There's nothing that shall make me hold my
native land less dear
But hope things will be different when July
the Fourth gets here"

Thousands of Pocr People Ready to Turn

The straw berry picking season opened
up at Sarcoxie, Mo-, recently with the
greatest gathering of people ever assem-
bled in that community. The Sarcoxie
horticultural association, controlling a
farm of 1,400 acres of straw berries,
advertised for 1000 pickers. Their
circulars were responded to by fully
90, 900 persons, who are besieging the
hotels and lodging houses of Sarcoxie.
The overflow has been so great that
thousands have been forced to sleep up
on the ground and prepare their meals
in improvised duGouts or shanties con-
structed of branches and leaves. The
line of campers extends ten miles up
and down on each side of Spring river.
Men representing almost every voca-
ton are there. Some of them have seen
better days, but poverty having forced
them to leave the ranks of the thousands
of unemployed i'll the large cities, they
have sought the field.
There are former railroad conductors,
engineers, telegraph operators, brake
men, iremen, store clerks, newspaper
men and all kinds Of tradesmen, down
to the professional hobo.

flying, went to Bolton the other day,
carrying, of course, bird with him in

pigeon in the town hall square when a

that he must not toss it up there.
