Married Life.

A Girl thinking seriously of her
future husband does not lay great
stress on good temper. A soldiery
form, pair of fine eyes, noble
mouth-any of these might easily
outweigh a good temper. Yet one
writer assures US that "after the first
year married people rarely think of
each others features, whether be
classically beautiful or otherwise,
but they never fail to be cognizant
of each others temper" AS to
husbands fortune, it is not SO inn
portant as the qualities which lead
TO fortune-ambition, determination
industry, thrift and position such a
man may obtain for himself. In
education man should at least be
his wife's equal. Undoubtedly there
is some subtle affinity between OPP
posites. Yet there must be likeness
as we'll as unlkeness. The latter
will lend piquancy which is pleasant,
but the former will give peace which
is essential. At first love itself will
all be sufficient, but a little later
the individual characteristics reas-
sert themselves, and then in the
absence of comprehension and SYM
patty in ones pet tastes and theories
a barrier springs up, slight, uncon-
fessed, perhaps, but still impossible,
and in one sense at least man and
vile are not "one," but distincly
"two."

A boy was summoned to testify
in ase In which one man had hit
another with a shovel. A host OF
witnesses had been called, who "beat
about the BUSH in the most tedious
and provoking manner. This an
noyed the lawyer for the prosecu-
ton. who broke out as follows:
"Here, boy, we've been going
around and around this case, for
hours, and yet have no evidence TO
convict the prisoner. Now, sir"
he savagely continued, "do you hear
me? / want t. come to the direct
point. Did you see the blow
struck7'
"Yes, SIR"

rubbing his hands, eve have some
thing to work upon. Here, my
good lad, take this cane (handing

how il was given"
Eyes, sir, /"
"Now," then. no words about it,

gator. "I'm the complainant, and
you are the prisoner. Now, just

The bewildered lad did "raise the
stick" and the next moment it came
down upon the bald pate of the as
tonished lawyer and sent him stag
gering to his seat.
"That's the way it was done, SIR
said the boy, amid the shrieks OF
laughter of the whole court room.
The discounted counsel, with a
CHASTITY attempt to smile, said that
he had done with the witness-the
evidence was direct.

1t is well known that all the ma
tions Of the old world we're in more

ideas of one tribe descended to the
other. But it ia certainly interest
ing to learn that the figure ID had
its sacred and divine meaning also
in America of yore, among the long
since extinct tribes Of The Inoas ard
the Aztecs. The inhabitants Of Peru
counted seven days. without any
particular name in the week. Their
wear had seven times Efty-two days,
of four times Is weeks. The father
was compelled TO support his illegiti-
mate child to the 18th year. The
Aztecs had weeks of Is days, each
with special name. Their public
archives were of circular form, with
a sun in the center of each of the Ii
parts, and 10 were their tribes.

THE CAPABLE WOMAN.

We hear 80 much Of the capable
woman that we have to regard her
with awe without wholly under

know where our acquaintances to

Wisdom in a World of Follies.

Love is the only thing that more
than pays for all it gets.
The best advertisement for q revi-
val is the revival itself.
Controversy in religious matters
pays no spiritual dividends.
God never says "Come up higher
to any except the faithful.
The man gains nothing who loses
character and saves his money.
Unless we find God today some
body else may lose him tomorrow
The man who looks through cob
webs will see spiders everywhere.
Rebellion against God turns its
back on Heaven, and makes its own
hell.

POULTRY NOTES.
A fresh egg has llmelike surface

A fresh egg has q Ilnelike surface
to lis shell.
Too much soft cooked food is not
good for fowls. They need some
employment for the gizzard.
Overlooking is expensive. 1t not
only costs more Tor The feed, but the
hens get too fat and lay no eggs.
Ii your space is limited. keep only
few fowls and let the few be very
fine ones, as it costs no more to feed
a prize winner than it does scrab.
If you wish to be successful With
poultry, do not undertake TOO much
at first. Begin with a few fowls and
study their habits md wants and
then gradually increase their num-
Der.
If your hens do not ley, or lay
slouble-y olked or soft-shelled eggs,
they are too fat, and more wheat and
oats land no corn) should be fed;
also require them to scratch Tor all
the grain they eat.
White gu!neas are profitable fowls,
and it pays to bayc a few on the
farm. The egg Is not large, but it
has fine flavor. The white guineas
is not to be despised as table fowl,
having a rich yellow skin and deli
cate, fine grained flesh.
II after purchasing pure bred
fowls they do not begin laying at
once, don't get impatient. All they
want is little time to accustom
themselves to their new surround
ings. II they don't begin you may
make up your mind that their feed
is not right.
A small flock which receives the
scraps from the table produces eggs
when larger focks are Improbable.
The fact is plain that the smaller
flock receives better feeding. Table
scraps arc not grains. They contain
a variety not found in the rations Of
a large flock.
