The Matrimonial Cross.

woman often makes her own matri-
monial. cross. And note how cheerful
ly she goes about it. She cannot drive
the nails fast enough some times. The
vast sea of incompatibility that so
often surrounds the state matrimonial,
a sea fed by woman's futile and willing
tears, would come to gradually melt
away and disappear if ome would
dry their eyes n look squarely in the
face the reason of her weeping. An eff
fort spent to cultivate the gentle art of
being agreeable as against time wasted
in disagreeing is one way to clear sun
dry matrimonial skies of many do
nestle clouds. This hint to the men
as well-it is not a bad habit to con
tract, this habit of first being agree
able in your family. The habit once
formed is found to be the best pro-
moter of smooth matrimonial running
known. And now why does the woman
h has a nervous and irritable spouse
take time to cultivate a manner and
way of speaking that she is clever
enough in the first years of marriage
to discover disconcerts him and fans
the flame Of his irritation? : Thus CIV
ing up Willfully a happiness she Graves.
Or why does the oma with a selfish
husband cater to that selfishness, until
she finds herself entirely out of the
scheme OF such a husbands life and her
happiness as ashes in her mouth? Why
does the woman whose husband is easy
going and thoughtless of her wishes
get into a state Of constant faultfind-
ing, approving of nothing that he does,
becoming an irritant to his existence,
until she drives him-and her happiness
in consequence-from her? Again, why
does the with a jealous hus-
band-that affront to womanhood-in
untold cases seem needless of his
shortcomings or put up with the misery
that is the outcome of his suspicious
nature? A thorough understanding be-
tween such a husband and his wife
cannot come too soon, says, a writer
in the Detroit Free Press. And why
does the wife who has a shiftless and
lazy husband, in nine cases out of ten,
put a willing shoulder to the wage
earning wheel and hope in this way to
hold together the foundations of her
home? To find that she has the rather
wrecked it by taking upon herself the
wrong part of the domestic partner
ship. Need I cite more? Let us look
over the field and pick our way intelli-
gently among the many stumbling
blocks which have the appearance of
sound timber; spend less time squab-
bling around for nails, give up cross
building. Love is all too vital a mat
ter to be triled with, and time is all
too short to be wasted in such employ

OUR COOKING SCHOOL.
Canning Fruit.

TO can peaches first select nice. ripe
fruit, but not that which has become
soft. Wash them in a pan of cold
water, then lay a soft cloth in the bot
tom of another pan to lay the peaches
on to drain after washing. Peel them
with a reasonably sharp knife, so rs
not to bruise them. Cut in halves and
remove the pit. Place the fruit in the
cans with the open side down and put
in as many as you can without mash
ing the fruit. Now make a syrup of
one-half cupful of sugar to each quart
of fruit and pour over the fruit while
it is warm, and fill the cans full. Put
some pieces of thin boards or lath in
the bottom of a wash boiler and set
the cans Upon them; then put warm
water enough in the boiler to come up
a couple of inches on the cans, put the
overs loosely on the cans and cover
the boiler tight and boil one hour, then
remove the cans from the boiler, put
on the rubber and screw the top on
tightly. Tip the car down on the side
and turn it around, to be sure that it

syrup oozes from beneath the cover it
is not tight enough. If you cannot
turn the cover any tighter take some
hard substance, such as a knife handle,
and press the edge of the cover down
firmly onto the rubber and try it again
and again until not one drop of syrup
u n out. If the work is done thor
oughly on the start you will not have
the least trouble to keep fruit my
length of time until it is wanted for
use. Set the fruit away in a box or
cupboard in a reasonably cool place.

Soy Beans for Swine.

Many farmers in Iowa, Illinois and
Missouri are using soy or sofa beans as
a forage crop for swine with great sue
cess, says the Farmer. In the dryer
portions of Kansas Kaffir corr has been
found a great drouth r~esister and a fine
crop for swine feeding. Experiments
in all directions are suggesting new
and cheaper food for pork-making, and
the farmer who wants to be up to date
must keep posted as to the new discov-
cries along the line of cheap food for
pigs. Prof. Shaw, from some recent
experiments, is confident that he has a
variety of the soy bean that will sue
coed in the northwest. We already
know that rape will furnish an i'm
mense amount of feed to the acre, and
rape grows anywhere in the northwest.
When clover grows that is a cheap
food. If the soy bean proves to be
better than clover or rape it will be a
valuable acquisition as it is a soil rem
o%vator, like clover and peas. Prof.
Shaw will soon have something for the
public relating to the new variety OF
the Soy bean. When he gets hold of
a good thing he does not hide it under
a bushel.

Both of these are necessary for the
proper growth of a flock of sheep, but
the source of the water is very inn
portant, says E. P. Smith in Michi-
gan Farmer. Water from sandstone or
slate rock is usually pure, but water
that comes through a bed Of limestonei
is very apt to cause trouble in sheep.
Most of this water will be found to
contain too much lime and magnesia,
and the sheep, by absorbing "a lot of
these mineral elements, may come.
down with an attack of goitre. But IL
water cannot be obtained from any
other source it may be partly purified

exposure to the air. This can best be
done by DETECTING the course Of the
stream or brook so hat the water

sand. This ffltering process will re-
Heve the water of all organic matter.
and make it harmless to the animals.
Ordinarily little attention is given tol
the drinking water of the animals on
the farm, but it is demonstratable that,
many of the common diseases which,
affect them car be traced directly or
indirectly to the impurity of the water
they have been accustomed to drink.
Next to their food the drinking water
OF sheep and all farm animals is the
most important factor in their growth
and development.
In the great West the wild animals
always resort to what are called salt
ticks, which is really a salt marsh,
Where he water is not only good to-
drink, but has an excellent effect other
wise IN preserving the general health
or the creatures. This habit of the
animals shows the necessity Of having
good water to drink, and the natural
craving they have for salt. The crav-
ing for salt is natural, for the system
equlre a certain amount of it all the
Special physical conditions Of
the animals will also demand that
more salt shall be taken into the sys-
tenn. Salt is one Of the elements of
the gastric fluid by which food is d.
gested, and good digestion is impos-
slble without a sufficient supply Of
salt. An animal suffering from indi-
gest1on will often require more salt to
set her right. 1t is the lack of suf1-
cient salt in the gastric fluid that some
times induces indigestion, and the true
way to remedy the trouble is to give
co the animals a larger supply. Nature
generally indicates the trouble by
stimulating an abnormal craving for
salt,

Going to Bed Hungry,

1t is a mistake to suppose that it is
never good to eat before sleeping. Many
an hour of sleeplessness may be avoid
ed by ~nibbling a biscuit at bedtime. All
animals, except man, eat before sleep
ing, and there is no reason why man
should form an exception to the rule.
Fasting between the long interval be-
tween supper and breakfast, and es-
pecially complete emptiness of the
stomach during sleep, add greatly to
the amount of emaciation sleepIessness
and general weakness SO often met
with. 1t is we'll known that in the
body there is a perpetual d~isintegration
of housekeeping or waking. 1t is.
therefore, natural to believe that the
supply of nourishment should be some
what continuous, especially in those in
whom the vitality is lowered.
AS bodily exercise is suspended dur
ing sleep, with wear and tear CORE
spondingly diminished, while diges-
ton, assimilation and nutritive actiy-
ity continue as usual, the food fur
nished during this period adds more
than is destroyed, and increased weight
and improved general vigor is the re-
suit, says Woman's Life. If the weak

How to Remove a Tight Ring.

Most girls who have had baby rings
have had trouble in removing them
from their fingers.
There is really no necessity for all
this ado about removing a tight ring"
said a downtown jeweler. "In that as
in everything else, the secret of sue
cess lies in knowing how to do it. Here
is a recipe that 1 have found unfailing
for removing a tight ring, and there is
no painful surgical operation in
volved, either. Thread a needle fat in
the eye, using thread that is strong
but not too coarse. Then pass the head
of the needle under the ring. Care, of
course, must be used in this, and it
would be best to soap the needle be-
fore beginning. The needle having
been passed through, pull the thread
through a few inches toward the hand
So" By this time the .jeweler had
passed the needle and thread under the
ring On his own finger, and was pre-
pared to illustrate the little lecture.
Wrap the long end of the thread tight
ly and regularly around the finger to-

The family is the foundation of the
state, and in studying the equities of
public burden bearing, governments
have not lost sight Of the bachelors.
The addition of 25 per cent to their as
sessed valuation by the grand duchy OF
Hesse is initiated in effect, it seems, by
the tax law in Kansas, a citizen there
who supports only himself being rated
at the common valuation and 5000
more. The bachelors liberty is made
part of his taxable property. Such an
ordinance may not always encourage
matrimony," as the Hesse law con-
templates, but the legislators probably
meant to tax bachelors, not so much
for a privilege as for stunning a privi-
lege.

simple, nutritious food before going

would be raised to a better standard Of

1t has been our experience that, after
digesting a bowl of bread and milk or
a saucer of oatmeal before going to
