Marriage by the Glove.

In Holland, says a Scotch paper, mar
riagP by proxy is allowed. This is the
so-calied marriage by the glove" and is
usually put in practice by a Dutchman
who is sojourning abroad, and wanting
a wife, is too poor or too far off to re-
turn home for one. In such a case he
writes home to a lawyer, who selects
one conformable to the requirements of
his client. If the gentleman approves,
he next sends the lawyer soiIed left
hand glove and a power of attorney,
which settles the business. A friend
marries the woman by proxy. and she
is thereafter promptly shipped off to
her new home.

KEEP FENCES TIGHT.
A Good Part of the Injury to stock
from Burbs Is Due Almost
Altogether to Neglect.

One of the most common causes OF
breachy animals on the farm is poor
fences, and we may go further and say
that a good part of the injury to stoc k
from barbed wire fences, is due to a
poor condition of the fence. The
wires get loose and sag down, and
stock get tangled up in them and in
jure themselves much worse than they
would if the fences were kept up prop
erly. Low tumble down fences are a
constant temptation to stock to
break over, and once they get started
it will be much more difficult to re-
strain. The safest plan in all cases is
to keep the fences in a good condition,
especially those ar%und the pastures.
If the stock are to be changed CON
stantly from one pasture or field to
another, prE@iie good gates, as lay
ing the fences part way down and
compelling the animals to jump over
what is EST up, is giving them the frs
lessons in jumping or becoming,
breachy. If an animal seems inclined
to be breachy, get rid of it as soon as
possible, as one mischieSous or breachy
animal on the farm will soon teach
the greater part of the others to be
like them. With wire fences properly
built care being taken to have strong
corner posts well braced, it is not
much work to keep them in good con-;
dition. But no matter what kind of
fences there may be on the farm it is
good plan to go over them every few
weeks and see that they are kept in
good repair.-Prairie Farmer.

This Is worth Considering.

Experiments recently made at the
Michigan Experimental station show
that about four times as much feed is
obtained from a meadow allowed to
mature hay as from field pastured In
soiling, the difference would probably
not be so great, owing to the fact that
the grass, or peas, or alfalfa, or what
ever is grown for the purpose, is cut
before it fully natures, but even then
from two to three times the number of
animals can be supported by soiling as

will result in the elimination of Chris

with him in the present organization,
and will give the franchise to DR.. Frank

FRANCHISE or agreement to play games is
the property of the whole league, and not
of any individual base ball club
This description of the value of a fran
chise was advanced by John t. Brush

"A LINE A DAY"
BY the Latest Notion in Diaries On,
Can Learn What Ones Self Is.

A unique diary is stamped on the
cover IA line a day" This may not
mean anything to the casual observer.
but to the inquisitive person looking for
oddities it suggests something more
than simply one line dedicated to each
day especially as it is quite a bulky
volume. 1t proves to be a most inter-
esting innovation in the way of diaries
in fact,a comparative diary covering
period of five years. Each page is
given up to each day of the month and
is divided into five equal parts. The
single line a day is not strictly true.
There ares everal lines devoted to each
fifth part. These parts are dated 1899.
1900, 1901. 1902 and 1908
The idea is obvious, to compare the
chief interests and general trend of one S
life for the same day of the year for
five years, having that day before one
on the same page throughout the five
years.
What he was doing last year on this
day would be most interesting to any
one, even if his life were drifting
smoothly by year in and year out, for
there is certain to be a change in the
point of view, whether we realize it or
not. We are said to be entirely differ
ent persons every seven years. and five
years comparison may show some in
teresting psychological phenomena.
OF course, the idea would be a farce
unless faithfully and truthfully carried
out. Many persons are constantly pass
ing through many strange experiences,
and panoramic view, taken day by
day might prove interesting as a good
study Of human nature, or of self,
showing progression or retrogression,
or change of character or mind.
What was doing two years ago to-
day, three years, four or five years
Under what influence did l decide
Had it been one year ago instead of
now how would I have looked at this
question or that? Have we changed
for the better or the worse? We
might learn to know ourselves far more
intimately than we do now, could we
have the data for such an analysis of
our own characters before us.--New
