Wholesale Weddings.

At Plougastel, in Brittany, France,
there is but one day a year on which,
from time immemorial, weddings are
allowed to take place-namely, on the
Feast of st. Frances, model Christian
wife and mother for whom the citizens
of Plougastel have the greatest vener-
alton, which they chiefly manifest by
setting all the weddings for that day.
This year not less than forty-four cou-
pies knelt before her altar to pronounce
the nuptial VOWS This day of we'd
dings by the wholesale is, of course, a
feast for the whole village. In the
early morning all the couples meet on
the towns public square. Thence they
go to the City Hall, where the civil GER
emony is gone through with. This over,
a procession is formed, and all the cou-
pies. followed by their respective
friends, march three times around the
village before entering the church,
where the religious ceremony is per-
formed. Hereupon follows the banquet,
which is held at the common expense.
The last wedding feast saw no less
than 1000 guests partaking of the
bounteous repast. According to an
eyewitness Of these fraternal agapae.
apart from the tables at which sat the
welded couples, plates were conspicu-
GUS by their absence. There was on an
average one plate to every four guests.
That little deficiency, however, did not
prevent the Plougastelites from enjoy
ing themselves capitaly during the six
days duration Of the ceremonies.

Uufulfilled Pronhecv.


We have been re-reading the proph-
ecy of Mr.. C. Wood Davis, issued about
ten years ago, in which he said that as
in 1850 the United States exported
enough of grain, hay and cotton to sup
ply $685. 600 people in other countries.
and in 1885 enough to supply 4,3OO, 600,
that by 1895 we should have to buy
food and cotton for $4,000 of our own
people at home, and in 1900 enough for
5,475,O00. We said then that we had
no faith in his figures, and that we be-
neved the cultivation Of some Of the
then unimproved land and better meth
DDS of production would enable Us to
feed and clothe our population and
have surplus for other nations not
only in 1900, but for many a decade
after that. We are thankful that we
have lived to find that in 1900 our ex-
ports of agriculture products not only
grain, hay and cotton, but many other
things have not decreased in value or
amount below the amount we sent out
in 1885 and 1890, but have made a
handsome increase, and it will yet be
many years before all our available
land will be titled or grazed, and many
more before we shall have reached our
largest capacity Of production. The
average crops as reported by the last
census are far from being one-half, and
are scarcely one-third of what good
farmers call good crop. Figures are
deceiving sometimes.-New England

Her Father Was Not a Liar.

There is little girl in Detroit whose
passion for the truth under all circum-
stances embarrassed her father very
much the other day. Not long ago he
lost high-salaried place in business
house because of it's absorption by a
trust, and in the evening denounced
all persons connected with trusts as
thieves and robbers. But the trust
found that it needed him, and he was
soon holding his old place. in addition
to good block of stock. It was no.
ticed that the little girl was deeply i'm
pressed with the incident, and looked
at her father doubtingly when he was
home. One evening there was COM
pany at the house, and the host be-
came involved In heated political de-
bate with a peppery guest. The form
er made a statement which the latter
fatty denied.
.Why, my dear man." laughed the
host, you don't mean to call me a
liar?"
mo, he DON'T" declared the little one,
as she sprang in front of the visitor
and glared at him with flaming eyes,
''and won't have 1t. My papa is a
robber and thief, but he is no nar!"s
The explanation was soon secured
from the child, and the hilarity follow
ing the expose was the joy of the even
ing.-New York Tribune.

His Mania Is for Clocks.

One of the most ingenious mechanics
In the world is Frenchman named lie
Boullat, living at La Coutaness, who
has made himself famous for the curl
Gus clocks he manufactures. He can
make clock out Of almost any con-
ceivable material. Straw and paper
are among the raw materials he uses.
Fer twenty years he has been manufac-
turing freak clocks and most French
men who want something out of the
common In that line apply to LIE Boul-
lat
A while ago he turned lot of news
papers into pulp. mixed it with harden
ing substance and carved the clock out
of the compound. Even the wheels
and all the machinery of the clock were
made of this material. Naturally this
curious clock does not keep very cor
rect time, but the wonder Is that II
goes at all. The newspaper clock is
one Of Mr.. LIE Boullat's latest tri-
umphs.
merely collection Of large and small
sticks held together by wires. It. is
only upon close inspection that one sees
| that 1t is a clock constructed On excel
lent principles. 1. keeps very fair time
never varying more than two minutes
! in week.
Now and then the clockmaker receives
commissions from wealthy Frenchmer
for clocks of unique design in silver OF
gold, decorated with precious stones
Some Of these clocks are entirely made
Of gold, with diamond-tipped hands
and rubies, garnets, pearls, opals an6
emeralds to represent the figures OF
the dial. Some of his clocks are beau
tiful works of art and few of tht
most interesting specimens are among
the smallest Of timepleces.

start Horses slowly.

When the horse has been fed and is
taken out to work, 1t should be started
in to labor rather easily to get the most
work at the least inconvenience to the
horse. The reason for this is not hard
to find. It Is simply that during the
feeding time the organs are getting
themselves into condition for digestion
and are possibly even digesting the
feed. A large quantity of blood is call
ed away from the other members and
is poured into the vessels about the
stomach. This blood must all be with
drawn when the horse begins to work
and be supplied to the muscular Or
gans where it Is most needed. This
change cannot be done all at once. It
requires a little time for the blood to
reach the physical demands. If the
blood has time to make the change by
moderate starting all will be well. If
not, then there is a temporary exhaus-
ton from which it may require hours
to recover entirely.

Running Farm MACHINERY.

No man can be considered an expert
in running farm machinery unless he
attends to certain points in managing
the machines. First, keep every joint
and bearing well oiled. Next see that
all parts which areliable to collect dust
are brushed clean at least every time
the team is unhitched, and see then
that every nut and bolt is in place and
holding the parts snugly. Not only that,
but If rattle is heard when at work,
investigate at once and stop it, even if
it is necessary to unhitch the team to
make it safe to work on it. Keep all
cutting parts clean and sharp, and see
that the draft is just right to be as
easy as is possible for both team and
machine. The man who does all this
will accomplish good work and not in
jure team or machine.

Notes About Fruit,

In the market buyers sometimes pre-
fer small but fully ripened strawberries
to larger ones picked too green.
The grape is considered the most
healthful of all fruits. Every one who
has garden, yard or wall can grow
grapes.
In starting young orchard look af-
ter the trees often, and wherever limb
is found crossing another limb cut it
out.
Plum trees should be sprayed with
Bordeaux mixture, but it should be
weaker than for apples, or it will burn
the foliage.
Apple, pear and plum trees should be
planted In every poultry yard. They
will afford shade for the fowls and the
poultry will destroy many insects.
Plum trees do not generally require
as much pruning as apple trees. Prun-
ing should be done as early In the
spring as possible. before the sap
starts.
There is no section of country where
some variety Of every kind of fruit
viii not do well. Experiment with
fruit until you find varieties suited to
your locality.
Most pIums should be picked for
market a few days before they are
thoroughly ripe. Even for home use
they are better just before they are per-
fectly ripe Germantown Telegraph,

Air Torpedo.

The Swedish government has given
5000 kroner ($1,340) to Major w. T.
Unge for the purpose of making fur
ther experiments with the air torpedo
invented by him. Major Unge's inven-
ton is patented under the name of ..the
flying torpedo" is intended to convey
through the air large explosive
charges for considerable distances, and
looks like an elongated cannon shell.
1t is propelled through the air In the
same manner as a rocket. In a sep
arate compartment the torpedo con-
tains some kind of slow-burning chem
ieal composition, the propelling charge,
which generates gases in large guam
titles. In the base of the shell Is a
turbine through which these gases es-
cape, thus furnishing the motive pow
er and causing the shell to rotate
around Its axis.

Immediately into the ladies' cabin, which
was almost empty, and chose berth for
myself in the darkest corner. 1t was not
far from the door, and presently two
other ladies came down, with a gentle
man and the captain, and held an anxious
parley close to me.
"Is there any danger? asked one of
the ladies.
well, l cannot say positively there
will be no dange1," answered the cap
tain; there's not danger enough to keep
me and the crew in port; but 1t will be
a very dirty night in the Channel. OF
course we shall use extra caution, and
all that sort of thing. No; cannot say

"But it will be awfully rough?" said
the gentleman.
1t was very stormy and dismal as soon
as we were out of Southampton water,
and in the rush and swirl of the Chan

distracted my thoughts. My hasty escape
had been SO unexpected, so unhoped for

almost a pleasure to lie still and listen
to the din and uproar OF the sea. Was
myself or no? Was this nothing more
than a very vivid dream, from which

Clover B1oat.

Glover bloat can always be prevent
ed by keeping the cattle off the clover
while it is wet with rain or dew. The
usual cause of death when an animal Is
bloated is congestion Of the lungs from
pressure of the stomach against them.
The flesh of such animal should be
darker in color from the stoppage Of
blood In the small vessels than the
flesh of an animal butchered. but l do
not believe it would poison any one to
eat the flesh of such animals. The best
remedy for clover bloat is to make an
opening. in the upper part of the left

fingers into the opening. Then the gas

"You have no change, nam m'zelle?" he
