Man. Woman md Loxe.

In one of his books Max O'Rell, the
witty Frenchman, gives the following
advice:
"If you are bald, never make love
to woman taller than you. Looked
at from below, you are all right.
"Never let your ladylove see you
without a collar; no-not even the very
wife Of your bosom. A mans head
without collar is like bouquet
without a holder.
Never marry woman richer than
you, one taller than you, or one older
than you. Be always gently superior
to your wife in fortune, in size and in
age, so that in every possible way she
may appeal to you for help or protec.
ton, either, through your purse, your
strength or your experience in life.
Marry her at an age that will always
enable you to play with her all the
different characteristic parts Of hus-
banda chum, a lover, an adviser, a
protector and just u tiny suspicion of
4 father"

Fall Management Of Glover Fields.

We are having quite number of
letters of late from farmers who have
not had much experience with clover
but have secured fine stand this year,
asking whether they had better NOV it
and make it into hay or whether it is
safe to pasture 1t.
The reply, of course, must depend on
circumstances. AS we have sown this
clover for the purpose of getting crop
next year, we would not do anything
that would injure the stand. It is quite
safe to pasture the spring sown clover
In the fall provided it is not pastured
too closely. Enough should be left on
the ground to protect the roots and
catch the winter SHOWS, and the farther
north the locality and the more wind
swept the country is the more important
it is to secure this fall covering.
This lie the great objection to now
ing.
If mown at all, it should be mown
early 80 as to give an opportunity for
the second growth to cover the ground.
When We conducted large farm, our
favorite method was to do nothing
with it until winter and then use 1t as
a winter pasture in connection with
stalk fields. As winter pasture,
spring sown clover is second only to
blue grass. We believe the largest
profits will be secured and the least risk
incurred in this way. Under no cir
cumstances, and especially in the north
ern sections, should it be pastured so
closely as to leave the ground bare.
Keeping this clearly in view, farmers
can deal with this crop as circumstances
require. ltis frequently possible to get
from one to two bushels of seed in fav-
orable seasons from spring sown clover.
We would much prefer pasturing, as
after the stalk had produced seed, full
filled its mission so to speak, it is likely
to die. For this reason eastern farm
ers clip 1t SO as to prevent seeding and
thus make the stand the next year
more sure. 1t is not possible to give
advice Tor each particular section. All
we can do is to point out the general
principles which should govern and
leave the farmers to use their own
best Observation-Disclosures Farmer.

Random Notes.
Salt should always be accessible.

Salt should always be accessible.
Do not change the feed suddenly.
Clean and thoroughly air the stable
before milking.
DO not allow dogs, cats or loafers to
be around at milking time.
The big mixer is usually sensitive,
"high strung piece of machinery. If
she kicks, don't meet it with blows un-
less you wish to spoil her.
Have you arranged to keep your COWS
comfortable next winter? Feed is cost
ly fuel, but it will be burned to keep
the cows warm if they are kept in q
cold stable.
A cow is different from child In
that che can never be spoiled by too
much pettlng. Speak softly, milk gent
ly, and she becomes at once your profit
able friend.
A good way to increase the value of
your dairy is to persuade your careless
neighbor to do better. In order to &C.
complish this induce him to subscribe
for good dairy paper.
The fragrant aroma of butter is ex.
tremely delicate. 1t is the product of
the ripening Of the butter just as the
odor of the fruit is the essential evap-
oration from its perfect condition of
ripeness.
Trouble is the price of success in
making butter, and without it the
dairyman will make neither good but
ter nor good reputation as butter
maker. Have the utensils sweet and
absolutely clean.
1t is not 80 much the quantity Of
fluid in the pail that counts as does the
number of butter globules it contains
Some COWS are older and less profitable
at eight years of age than others are al
twelve. Difference in care is tht
cause.
In large cities dealers often use al
kinds of denominations in the milk be
fore they deliver it, but that will onl!

stories of London weather.

The Manchester Guardian tells u
good story of the weather. The scene
was Strand omnibus. A leaden sky
was overhead, the rain poured down
uncompromisingly mud was under
foot. A red capped Parsee, who had
been sitting near the dripping driver,
got down us the conductor came up.
what sort o chap is that" asked
the driver. Don't yer know that?"
answered the conductor. "Why, that's
one O. them Indians that worship the
SUM-" "Worships the SUM-" said the
shivering driver. II suppose 'e's come
over 'ere to ave rest!"
This recalls the reply given on one
occasion by an eastern potentate to
Queen Victoria, who asked him wheth-
er his people did not worship the sun.
'Yes, your majesty" said the oriental,
"and If you saw him you would wor-
ship him also"

piece admirably, since all ne wanted
was good ensemble; no new decora-
tons would be needed nor any change
at all.
So the piece would be read, and as
the roles We're distributed Hugo would
say musingly, "Dieu, how fine Freder-
lex would be in that part!'' ",rhat is
true" Horel would murmur, and few
days after he would announce that
Frederick was engaged. Hugo would
then demonstrate that this DESTROYED
the equipose of the cast and Raucourt,
Laferrere and Mile. Georges would be
engaged. Then Hugo would attack the
stage setting. Old scenes, that the pub
lie had tired of, were almost an insult
to these great artists. If Horel showed
reluctance at this, Hugo would threat
en- to withdraw his piece. And so the
game would go OH, till, little by little,
Hugo had obtained everything he
wanted, even to changing the paper
hangings in the stage boxes.

IN MANDALAY.

Thousands of ,Pngoda Bells Ring at
the Setting of the Sun.
Mandalay has its own sky, soft and
gray and incurving like tent, with
whlts cloud lines that seem meant for
scrolls If one could read 1t is the
Very Sacred City, the city of contem-
plation, the city of all the monks. A
thousand pagoda bells give tongue to
the wind there when the sun goes
down; a crurnbling thousand more give
up to time the testimony of outworn
things.
1t lies in a curved arm of blue hills,
and something broods over it with So
licitude. This you suspect from the air
of the place and the way the shrill
talk of the parrots and the complaint
of the goats and the laughter of the
people come to you wherever you are
sitting. Afterward you go out, as
did that morning with the commission
er, and see under the very zenith, where
the low gray sky is caught up, the
square Of the dark red crenellated
walls of the old royal city, three miles
each way, and outside the walls the
parallel clear moat thinking back at
the sky, and then you are sure that
over and above the government of H.
dia some spirit is in possession here,
some spirit that bends in affection over
finished and forgotten things.
Seven rooted kiosks stand at inter
walls over the gates in the wall-they
are called pyathat, but they strike the
eye like peaceful conclusions-andl low
white stone bridges raised in the mid
die span the moat. The buttresses Of
the gates are painted deep gray and
white, and the bank that slants steeply
from the wall to the water has here
and there a low, twisted, spreading
tree on 1t, purely for decoration. You
may stop ut corner and look two
ways along the rejecting water, with
bridge after bridge receding across,
and pyatlat after pyathat diminishing
above, and each red and gray and
white vista so picked out and finished
under the quiet light slipping adorably
into the near blue of the hills.
Mandalay seemed aware with bunt-
ing that day, flags and arches of well
come everywhere and crowds flocking-
aware and almost awake-but you
looked again and saw that she only
turned in her sleep and smiled, as ut a
dream.-Exchange.

For the love of country, as such, it
would be difficult to decide between
the highlander of Scotland and the
mountain born inhabitants of the Tyrol.
Both will wander in search of fortune
to the ends of the world and yet look
back to their native mountains as their
only real home. The same is true of
the Swiss, although in lesser degree.
It is very singular fact that inhab-
ttants of mountainous countries pos
sess this feeling of attachment in
much intenser form than those of fiat
countries

The Anthracite Iupele.

In answer to an assertion that an
thracite coal is on the free list, The
Chronicle would say: "Yes, it is. In
paragraph 523 Of the Dingley act free
list we read: "Coal, anthracite, not
specially provided for In this act"
But when we come to inquire what
"coal, anthracite" is not specially pro-
vlded for we light upon the following
in paragraph 415 in the "sundrIes"
schedule: "Coal, bituminous, and all
Goals containing less than 90 per cent
of fixed carbon, and shsle, 81 cents per
ton of % bushels, 80 pounds to the
bushel."
It tsppears that all anthracite contain
ing less than 20 percent of fixed carbon
is specially provided for, and the spec
,isl provision is duty of 81 cents per
ton.
live pursue our inquiries we shall
find that no foreign anthracite available
for import into this country contains 90
per cent of fixed carbon.
1t follows, of course, that, practically,
all anthracite coal is dutiable at the
rate stated. 1t is very neat juggle.-

year Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, the
new catarrh cure, has met with such
success that today it can be found
in every drug store throughout the
United States and Canada.
To be sure a large amount of adj
vertising was necessary in the first
instance to bring the remedy to the
attention of the public, but every
one familiar with the subject knows
that advertising alone never made
any article permanently successful.
1t must have in addition absolute,
undeniable merit, and this the new
catarrh cure certainly possesses in
n marked degree
Physicians, who formerly depend
ed upon inhalers, sprays and local
washes or ointments, now use Stu
arts Catarrh Tablets, because. as
one of the most prominent stated,
these tablets contain in pleasant,
convenient form all the really eff
cient catarrh remedies, such as red
gum, blood root and similar antisep-
tics.
They contain no cocaine nor cpl
ate, and are given to little children
DIR. j. j. Reitiger, of Covington,
Ky, says: II suffered from catarrh
in my head and throat every fall,
with stoppage of the nose and irrita-
ton in the throat, affecting my voice
and often extending to the stomach,
causing catarrh of the stomach. 1
bought a so cent package of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets at my druggists,
carried them in my pocket and used
them faithfully, and the way in
which they cleared my head and
throat was certainly remarkable. L
had no catarrh last winter and
spring, and consider myself entirely
free from any catarrhal trouble"
Mrs. Jerome Ellison, of Wheeling,
w. Va, writes: g L suffered from
catarrh nearly my whole life, and
last winter my two children also
suffered from catarrhal colds and
sore throat, so much they were out
of school a large portion of the win
ter. Ny brother, who was cured of
catarrhal deafness by using Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets, urged me to try
them so much that / did so, and am
truly thankful for what they have
done for myself and my children. 1
always keep a box of the tablets in
the house, and at the first appear
ance of a cold or sore throat we nip
it in the bud, and catarrh is no long
err household affliction with u.s."

tarrh Tablets are sold for so cents at

Why are so many men ailing? Why
do they continuously take treatment
for their private ills and yet never
get we'll? In the majority of cases
it is because they secure only ordi-
nary treatment. 1t is because they
go to the general practitioner, who
lacks the teachings of experience in
special cases, or what is still worse
for them, they go to the self-styled
specialist whose speciality en-
braces, as their announcements inn
ply, every known disease. 1t is be-
cause they come in contact with too
many belts, specifics. free samples,
or similar devices. That such treat
Inent does not nor can not cure di-
seases and weaknesses peculiar to
men is well known to all who have
tried it.
