Cure for Feather Pulling.

Feather pulling destroys a flock
When a cock begins to look as if he
were picked on the neck anf breast,
one may begin to watch for the hen
that is doing the mischief; and she
should be removed at once. as she
will teach the habit to others If she
remains with the flock. Feather-pull
ing is a vice that comes from con
finement and idleness. There is no
remedy for it, but it may be prevent,
ed by so feeding the fowls that they
will be compelled to scratch for food.
They should be fed meat and bone
meal, plenty Of grass, and a little salt
in their food.

MARRIAGE CUSTOMS IN ITALY.
Matrons Only Accompany the Bride
at. the Ceremony and Girls Must
BE C~ircumspect.

No maiden can witness the mar.
riage of an Italian woman, no mat
ter how intimate she has been as a
friend, but matrons accompany her
to the church. Neither can a girl en-
ter the house of her lover; and so
emphatic is this rule that it is con-
sidered necessary for a woman tc
pass by the house of her lover in
such a public way that all can be sat
isfie@ that she does not enter it. The
lover gives presents according to the
season-cake at Easter, rosebuds at
the feast of St. Marks and almond
paste at Christmas, says Woman's
Home Companion. In addition to
bonbons and confectionery the
groom sends the future bride all the
jewelry he car afford, especially fin
ger rings. Sunday is the only luck.;
day in the week for wedding, as all
others have some ominous meaning.
If the wedding is on Monday insan-
ity is threatened; Thursday is
witches day; a Tuesday wedding will
bring great suffering, etc. In Venice
the bridegroom must furnish the
gondolas for the marriage procession,
four candles for the mass and plenty
of coppers for the swarming beggars.

Requirements for the Sue
cessful Study of Music %<
BY PROF. RICHARD ARNOLD,
vice-President New York Philharmonic Society.

HERE is no reason why ambitious American
girls should go to Europe to study music. We
have as good or better teachers in America. We
have the musical atmosphere in Our great cities.
We have the temperament. We.have the concerts,
the singers, the performers. There is no great
artist in the world but sometimes come to Amer
lea.
Our American girls are right in their desire
to become great musicians. They are the finest
specimens of womanhood in the world. They are
all AROUND the brightest women, the most lovely,
the most intelligent.
Given the ordinary common school education,
with the finishing influences of a high school,
where boys and girls are taught Americanism and
classic lore together, they are pretty well fitted

ECONOMY BAKING

There is more dependent upon the
baking powder, so far as economy in
making biscuit and cake is concerned
than in any other one thing. The cheap
alum baking powders average about
five per cent. of leavening gas. There
fore it will take three times as much
alum powder to raise the same cake or
biscuit as it does of the Royal powder,
for instance, which is cream of tartar
powder with three times the leavening
strength, so the actual cost with the
alum powder is the greatest, Further
than this, however, the cream Of tartar
powder makes the finest kind of food
while the alum powders frequently fail
when all the eggs, -four and butter
are wasted. The greatest economy in
the use of baking powder like the
Royal is in the healthfulness of the
food it makes. 1t saves in doctors bills
many times its cost over alum powders.

OBITUARIES, FUNERAL SERMONS. Often Injurious In Their Moral Effect
 Because They Are More Than Just.

From the Memphis Commercial-Appeal.
 It is a beautiful and charitable thing to bury mans sins with him, to put away the memory of his misdeeds and keep in mind only his kindly ones. But, carried too far, this very charity to the dead be- comes a menace to the living. Funeral sermons that praise unstintingly man whose darling sin was openly known, and obituaries that hold up as models certain young fellows whose depravity, in one form or another has been their counter act of constant warnings of home train- ing as any other cause we might find in A whole days search. It is charity to- ward the dead man and Christian consid- eration for his afflicted family not to heartlessly publish his sins to the world but 1t is equally inconsiderate to the liv- ing. who may be influenced by his ex- ample. to write him up as a model to be emulated.
 The weak and perhaps sin-inclined reader says to himself: This man drank or cheated or was immoral Gas the case may have been), but evidently the world does not blame him for this; on the con- trary he is set down here as among those men who may be reasonably sure of heaven If he could drink or cheat or be immoral and still be a model, then 1t Is not so bad for me to do these things. I will follow in his footsteps. and some | of these days I will be spoken of as a l perfect man." And so the complimentary

 He takes the drunkard or cheat or liber- tine for his model, believing the sin will be condoned in him as 1t was in this other man. Shakespeare said few truer things than ''the evil that men do lives after them;'' and the writer who has Tor the notoriously bad dead all praise and no blame does much to make that evil im- mortal To be brutally frank. to say bald ly that the deceased was scoundrel, a breaker of moral or statutory laws, IS not necessary. If he was good citizen, 1t should be so stated in sermon or obitu- ary; but If at the. same time he was bad husband or father. he should not be written down as perfect man after whom the rising generation might do well to fashion their lives. This is more than justice to the deceased, and a gross in- justice to the living, since 1t is giving them false measure for their conduct. In speaking of the dead we should tell the truth and nothing but the truth--but not always the whole truth.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is In
 Preserving Health and Beauty.

1 Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
 is the safest and most efficient disinfect- l ant and purifier in nature. but few real
 ize its value when taken into the human | system for the same cleansing purpose. l Charcoal is a remedy that the more | you take of it the better; 1t Is not drug at all. but simply absorbs the gases and l impurities always present m the stom- 1 ach and intestines and carries them 1 out of the system.
 1 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or eating onions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and im- proves the complexion, 1t whitens the teeth and further acts as natural and
 eminently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it dsinfects the mouth and throat from the
 poison of catarrh
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another but probably the best char coal and the most for the money Is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal. and other harmless antiscptics in tablet form or rather in the form of
 large, pleasant tasting lozenges. the char

 Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all pa-
 tients suffering from gas in the stomach
 ant bowels. and to clear the complexion and purify the breath. mouth and throat;
 I also believe the liver is greatly bene- | fited by the daily use of them; they cost
 but twenty-five cents a box at drug
 stores, and although in some sense a pat l ent preparation. yet believe I get more I and better charcoal in Stuart's Absorb
 ent Lozenges than any of the ordinary | charcoal tablets"
