A "Flame" Party.

An original party was given not long
ago by a bachelor woman who has 4
weakness for red and has furnished
her den largely in that color. Desir-
ing to entertain her friends, she re-
solved to crafty her love for brillialce
by having flame" party. All the IL
vited guests were requested to wear
red as conspicuously as possible.
To make the coloring of the den even
more vivid for the occasion, the hos
tess strung festoons of red peppc- 5
around, and covered the ceiling with
a spiders web of red cord.
When the evening came the guests
arrived in perfect flames of red. The
women wore red kimonos over evening
gowns, red hose, red slippers with red
ribbons, red aigrettes in the hair and
red gloves. The men wore red neck
ties, red hose and red shoe lacings.
"A profusion of red cords hung from
the central chandelier, and to the up
per end of each favor was attached,
the guests selecting the cords at ran
dom, as the intermingling prevented
them from seeing to what the dang
ling end was fastened.
Red meat sandwiches, red drinka-
bles and red ice cream furnished the
refreshment.-New York Cribune.

Bent Slot Gas Meters.

Among the specimens of "household
dishonesty" recently gathered from
the quarter-in-the-slo gas machine
were twelve plugs or imitation quar-
ters, three "pearr' buttons smoothed
off in places to represent twenty-five
cent pieces, baby's teething ring re-
duced in size and thirty-eight counter
felt coins.
For those who must have gas for
cooking or Illumination, but who can
not afford to pay deposit for the lux
Try of n meter, and for those whom the
gas company does not wish to issue a
monthly bill there is a compromise in
the shape of a slot machine meter.
By dropping in quarter of dollar
the automatic meter does faithful SER
vice for little time.
1t is only within a comparatively
few months that the company has no.
ticed n wholesale attempt to beat the
machine. The proceeds of each meter
is dumped into Q. great bag by the col
lector, who monopolizes the combina-
ton, but so many bad coins. plugs,
makeshifts and other frauds have been
discovered that it has been decided to
inspect in future each contribution as
it is released from the mechanical gas
gauge.-New York Mail and Express.

Preservation of Tools.

The preservation of tools and ma
chimes on farms is an important mat
ter, as one of the principal sources of
expense is that of repairs. Tools are
costly when not kept in some place
where they will be protected against
the weather l. the spring, when
the hurry of work comes, the imple-
ment most required may be unit for
service, and Il new one may be neces-
sary or repairs, which should have
been procured weeks before, must
be purchased. 1t is not unusual for
farmers who change locations to find
themselves loaded with tools that they
did not suppose they possessed, the
clearing up for removal bringing to
light some that had been stored away
where they could not be found. Other
farmers leave their plows, harrows
and other implements in the fields to
rust,

Farming is a business, the object
being to derive a profit, for no farmer
should be satisfied with bare living
or existence on a farm. If there is an
insufficient quantity Of manure for a
large field reduce the area, as the Ia
Dor is something that enters into the
cost. Concentration of labor and ma
nure will give profit when failure is
sure to result in working large plot
of land. Much of the cost of labor is
in the beginning, and not in the har-
vesting. The larger the area the great
er the wear and repairs of implements,
and the greater the distance to be trav-
eled while working. A crop of forty
bushels of wheat on one acre will give
a profit, while twenty bushes per
acre may not pay expenses. The rea-
son is that the larger yield will cost
less per bushel for labor and plant
food than the smaller, the land also
being benefited by the better cultiva-
tion and treatment of the growing
crop, whether of wheat corn or oats.

The season for selling turkeys goes
beyond Thanksgiving, as the demand
continues long after Christmas. The
farmer should never send his turkeys
to market until he has penned them
for about ten days and fed them three
or four times n day. A mixture of
four pounds of corn meal, two pounds
ground oats and half pound of lin
seed meal, moistened with milk and
warm water, should be given at each
meal, except at night, when an abund-
ance of corn and wheat should be al
lowed. Fresh water, gravel and some
kind Of green food will also be neces-
sary. A single turkey; alone in a
coop, will not thrive. Put several in
a yard together, and they will be more
contented. Two or three pounds added
to each turkey will amount to con-
siderable sum in money for a large
lot, while the extra quality will en-
able the farmer to secure q higher
Price per pound.

In marketing my cream to fancy
trade, writes L. V. Axtell, Of Ohio, in
the American Agriculturist, 1 make
capital of the fact that l use only
well-matured and well-cured foods for
dairy COWS. Our feed consists of
clover hay and corn stover fed whole
at the rate of one Part of clover to two
" stalks. Our grain feed consists
principally of corn and oats produced
ON the farm.
1 try to balance the grain ration
with protein in its cheapest market
form, as the prices may vary on oil
meal, gluten or cotton seed. l think
that most modern idea dairymen feed
too much protein rather than not
enough in proportion TO the fatty
foods. IL less intensive methods were
used in the feeding and stabling of
cattle, we should have much less tu-
berculosis, calf scours, abortion and
disease generally on our hands. Plen-
ty of the more natural foods, plenty
of exercise and fresh air are good
agents with which to combat disease.
| think the feeding of badly cured
ensilage productive of much abortion
and calf cholera. Other spoiled foods
could produce just as unfavorable re-
suits. The putting up of cnsilage is
managed much better than formerly.
Before putting up silo l have been
waiting for a short hay crop. For
twenty years 1 have kept on 200 acres
from seventy-fve to 100 head of cat
tie and an average of ten head of
horses. 1 have never bought ten tons
of hay. We have never sold much,
either, and never sell except at high
prices. We never buy but little grain,
and the wheat sold much more than
pays for feed bought. If ensilage ena-
bles farmers to carry so much more
stock, 1 should have to build more
barns in addition to the silo, and 1
have care enough, so l think 1 will
continue old-fashioned.

A thin old horse was standing in
the road nibbling at the disappearing
grass. Picking up 4 stick he threw it
at the animal and shouted at the top
Of his voice. The horse went off at n
pitifrl hobbling gait to escape its tor
mentor.
"Strange that lin Colson should do
that" he heard some one behind him
say. In the gathering dusk it was not
easy to determine who it was.
Yes, he is such a gentleman" came
the reply. Il believe there is n great
future for that boy"
"He is to be one of the new railroad

The time has gone by for the farmey
to go to mill for grinding his grain
There has been wonderful improve
ments in grinding mills, as they can
be made to grind very rapidly and to
any degree of fineness. The cob and
gtain may be ground together if pre-
ferred, though experiments do not
show much benefit in feeding the cobs
with the grain, the advantage being
that the cob is converted into manure
and thereby rendered useful. There
is a great saving in food when the
grain is ground and fed in connection
with coarse materials that are cut fine.

was born in 1887 amid the mutterings
of the revolution. Guizot's parents
were married by prescribed Protest
ant pastor, and his birth was never

was an advocate, used his talent for
public speaking in the interests of the
prosecuted Protestants, and became a
marked man. After living for several
weeks in danger of his life, he was at
last arrested, unwillingly enough, by
gendarme who knew and respected
him. Shall l let you escape?" said

Trees Near boundary Lines.

Trees are real property and belong
to the owner Of the ground upon which
the trunks stand. If the trunks stand
wholly within one mans boundaries,
the whole of the trees belong to him,
even though the branches may over
hang and the roots feed upon the soil
of another. But a land owner need
not suffer the nuisance of overhang-
ing branches; he may abate it by cut
ting them off.
In planting his orchard q farmer
placed one row of trees close to the
fence which divided his land from his
neighbours. While the trees We're
small they caused no trouble, but
when they grew large, the branches
extended out over the neighbours land
and became source of annoyance to
him. One fall, when the trees were
loaded with fine fruit, the neighbours
boys commenced to take apples from
the overhanging branches, and the
wife of the owner of the orchard,
being a hasty woman, scolded the boys
and said some mean things about the
neighbor's family. This started very
bitter quarrel
A few days after scolding the boys
the woman crossed the division fence
for a basket of apples, and was or
dered out. Upon learning this her
husband went to an attorney, and was
told that, although the apples belonged
to him, by crossing the fence to get
them he made himself a tresspassera
so the fine fruit fell off and rotted on
the ground.
The next spring the neighbor, while
plowing under the overhanging
branches of the apple trees, scratched
one of his horses badly. This made
him angry, and he sawed off all of the
offending branches straight above the
fence. Then the owner of the trees
again sought advice, but learned that
he had no remedy. The trees looked
very unsymmetrical with the branches
on one side all gone, but the neighbor
had only exercised legal right. When
you plant trees, plant them far enough
within your own boundaries so that
the branches will have room to spread
without overhanging the lands of your
neighbors. For, in the eyes of the
law, when man owns the soil, he
owns it from the centre of the earth
to the highest point in the heavens."-
9. H. Whitaker, in American Culti-
vator.

The proposed removal of the peni-
tentiary at Laramie, Wyo., to Rawlins,
calls attention to the fact that the in
stitution possesses the unique distinc-
tion Of having the only woman chap
lain in the United States, if not, in
deed, in the world. The chaplain is
Mrs. May Preston Slosson, wife of the
vice president of the University of
Wyoming, and for over two years she
has presided over the spiritual well
fare of the conVicts imprisoned at
Laramie.
Mrs. Slosson is a quiet, modest,
unassuming little woman just fitted for
the work she has chosen. Rain or
shine, she is at her post in the chapel
each Sunday, having rarely missed a
service during her two years Of work.
Neither the bleak winds or binding
snow Of winter, nor the shimmering
heat of summer have sufliced to keep
her away from the prison and the men
who so eagerly watch from the graf

Mrs. Slosson, besides being the only
woman prison chaplain, was the first
woman to receive the degree of PHI. D.
at Cornell University, graduating well
up toward the head of a class Of young
men. She was born at lion, N. Y, in

to Hillsdale College, Michigan where
she took the degrees B. 5. and NJ. s.,
