IO HE ApNERIlSER.
The other day / was sitting in the
office of the well-known house fur
nishers, S. M. & e. Fl. Wilkes & Co.,
when Mr.. Ed Morley, of Grand Rap,
ids, Mich, came in, and after the usual
greeting, he said: "Well! Mr.. Wilkes,
when I met you in New York at the
Exposition | never for once thought
that you kept such q magnificent Sc
lection of house furnishings as this
everything 10 complete the house
from kitchen to parlor. What struck
me so forcibly as 7 walked along the
aisles of your store was that your pur-
chases are only from the very best
manufacturers. | note that You look

its general appearance and price and
a customer an article OF that kind, he
will be sure to come again, when he
wishes to make another purchase

and have watched the steady growth
of this firm, from a small Tinware

we can boast Of the best house-furnish-

zone characteristic OF the Wilkes Co.,
IS that they only employ the very best
and experience assistance that money
can secure. Their Mr.. Monroe, the buyer
OF bicycles and sundries, has been with
them from very small boy and it
shows the confidence they have In him
by giving him such responsiable
position as buyer OF this particular de-
partment.
"I note in all their advertisements

Love In LapIand.

When a young Laplander is in love with girl he and she run a race. He Is heavily handicapped, so that she may win if she chooses, and if she outrun him he cannot propose again. Of course, she suffer- herself to be overcome if she cares for him, but the consent of her parents must be obtained before she can be married. The law of the land is very strict on this point, and in olden times the man was subject to capital punish ment if he married without the consent of the girls parents.
 After Laplander has chosen a bride he sends her a present of girdle, a ring, and a quantity of brandy. He goes as far as the door of her hut, but remains outside until invited to enter, when a bumper of brandy is offered to the girls father. If he drinks it it is a sign he consents to the marriage, and the young lover then promises to give the girl some clothes and pays sum of money, generally hundred copper dollars, down on the spot. This, of course. is remnant of marriage by purchase which in primitive times suc- ceeded marriage by capture. ....
 Banns are published once in Lapland, and the marriage ceremony is very short. The bride wears her hair loose, and has gold band around her head. Her presents and her dowry are general ly reindeer and she and her bridegroom remain with her parents for year aft CT marriage.

FarrOwfnR Sows.

On account of the better opportunity for getting the pigs ready for market in good season in the fall many farmers find it good plan to breed their sows early enough in the fall to have them farrow in February. On account of the sudden changes in the weather that may be expected in March many prefer to have the sows farrow in February or April When they are to farrow in Feb ruary, it is important that warm, dry quarters be provided. If the SOW is to have separate quarters they should be arranged about ten days before she is due to farrow, so that she will have plenty of time to get we'll accustomed to them. Then rather old bed is prefer able to an entirely new one, as there is less risk of the pigs getting buried un- der the bedding. When corn has been the principal food, as is usually the case at this time, it will be best gradually to change to middlings and ground oats until at least half of the ration only is corn. Too much corn tends to induce a constipated, feverish condition that should always be avoided. Too much bedding is detrimental, especially if it be new, and too little will not afford sufficient warmth. The object is to have her as comfortable as possible, and then one can be assured that she will be quiet. A SOW in comfortable quarters, well fed and in good, thrifty. condition, will rarely need any attention in far rowing, and it is never advisable to dis turb her when it is possible to avoid it.

 Tuesday, the Fourth, was red letter day for East Canaan. At nine o'clock the new flag was raised, the Southfield band playing appropriate music, the glee club singing "Star Spangled Ban- ner," and Rev H. Utterwick made 8 speech. Then the ragamuffin parade which was fine but must be seen to be appreciated, many saying it was the by Clem Kegler, the prize watch. Joe Allen caught the greased pig after spir- tied race. The ball play was won by the Norfolks, score II to 3. The fireworks were grand. The day was claimed to be the best celebration in this section in years. The whole affair was a success and credit to the management. There was no drunkenness or carousing but everyone seemed to enjoy the day. Much more might be said but space will not permit.
