4 Modest Request.

To Judge from an incident reported
in the Washington correspondence Of
the New York Tribune, the department
of agriculture sometimes appears from
distance like big department store.
During the season when members OF
congress send out seeds one of the
packages found it's way back to the
sender, accompanied by a note from
the farmer to whom it had been ad-
dressed. -
"My dear SIR" wrote the farmer, 81

the seeds. but my eldest daughter, Ma
tiida, is going to marry the doctor
down to the village next month, and
wife and think Of giving up the farm
and going there to live. If we do. the

shan't have a garden; so if you could
change them for some stockings (No.

Admirable Bookholder.

The proper way to read book or

there is plenty of light and where it
can be maintained indefinitely without
firing any portion of the body, as the
principal cause of eye strain is the
constant changing of the position to
rest the arms or body, necessitating "a
change in the book or paper which Of

yond the amount required for easy
reading. The bookholder shown in the

wall, tree, gas fixture or a piece Of fur
niture, but in all cases the book is held
perfectly quiet, and when once proper

A Cats Love For a Donkey

In the bowels of fhe earth, says "a
correspondent, / was 81 witness to one
of the most pathetic friendships that
ever existed between animals. In this
certain mine there was cat which had
lived in the underground stables for
great number of years. 1t was always
to be found IN the sui belonging to
an old donkey when tn animal was
resting from its labors and would very
often accompany the donkey in its
working journeys mile, underground.
One day, owing TO the 'carelessness
of its driver in unloading 1t, the poor
little animal suffered severe strain
and was unable after to do it's daily
work. For nearly a couple of weeks
the donkey lay in agony in its stable,
and during that: time the eat scarcely
ever left it's friend. Sometimes the
lads would drive it away, but it would
stealthily steal back again, and when
the donkey died as a. result of its in
juries the cat began to how'll pitifully
and would not be comforted.
But the climax came when they
were taking the donkey's carcass to
the surface. The cat began to scratch
and fly at the men who were removing
it to such an extent that it had to- be
killed.

WEDDING SUPERsTlTloNS.

The bride should not fail to shed
few tears on her wedding day. 1t Is
an omen Of good luck In the future.
It is unlucky for the bride to enter
the church before the ceremony at one
door and leave after the ceremony by
another door.
The bride should always cut the first
piece of her wedding cake and pour out
the first glass of wine for her guests
if there are not too many.
If the bride drops her handkerchief
on the wedding day and the bride
groom picks it up, it is a sign that in
the future he will play second fiddle.
1t is said to be unlucky to tie shoes
to any part of the carriage in which
the bride and bridegroom go away, but
it is lucky to throw an old shoe after
the bride as she enters the carriage.
In leaving the church the bride will
do well to place her right foot fore
most if she wishes to be happy,
healthy, ETC., in the future, and she
SHOULD always be the first to call her
husband by name.
After the wedding breakfast and re-
ception the bride should be careful to
throw away and lose all the pins, if
there are any about her. The brides
maids should not keep the pins them
selves or they will retard their chances
Of marriage.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Frufts md Cereals.

"Its an i'll wind that blows no one
good" The exigencies caused by the
recent rapacity of great monopoly
have led many families to thoughtful
ly consider the undesirability of flesh
food. Aside from the humanitarian
standpoint, healthy longevity cannot
be evolved from food the underlying
principle of which is death and decay.
The possibilities of disease in flesh
diet are enormous. Every element re-
quired for the sustenance and growth
of the body is found outside the anil
NAL kingdom. When men live on
higher plane of thought, they will
cease to slaughter in order to exist.
When you consume the nutritious ce-
reals, the luscious fruits, the fattening
legumes, the satisfying nuts and all
the sun kissed products Of the vegeta-
BILE world, you are missing absolutely
nothing conducive to bodily and NEIL
tai vigor, sbut are absorbing the vital
izing principles of sunlight, air. life,
health, cleanliness, instead of possible
disease, decay and death of the slaugh-
ter house.
Many q. pasty complexion and erup-
tive skin, many a case of nervous de-
rangement and .irascible temper, have
been cured by an entire abstinence
from meat.-Lilian M. Siegfried in New
York Ledger.

A Pig Race.

Some years ago. in celebration Of the
jubilee Of the International club at
Baden-Baden, a pig race was held on
the lfizheim race course: The pigs
were trained by being fed. once daily
for fortnight at certain spot on
the race course. On the day Of the
event the animals were let loose by
the starter (alias swineherd) few.
hundred PAGES from the feeding
troughs and scampered toward the
goal in wild confusion. emitting loud
grunts Of satisfaction. The prizes were
arranged according to the regulations
of the turf, and each pig was painted
its own color-red. green. blue body
and yellow head. etc. The sight was
intensely amusing and one not easily
forgotten.
