MARRYING FOR A HOME.

Home is a woman's real sphere OF
usefulness, however much conditions
and necessities have forced her into
other and more extended ones.
No true woman is indifferent 10 home
and all that it means % herself aud
others.
The moro truly womanly he is. the
more she appreciates ana values IL.
But 70 marry for the homes sake is
like buying a picture for It's frame, or
valuing the binding of the book above
the book itself.
No one can make the home a more
important thing in married life than
the man one marries and in no pnsSi-
bic case can the home satisfy one II
the husband fails.
Love for the man one marrieS will
make a home Of an attic. OF the wealth
or side OF hedge row.
But married life. where the home
comes first and the husband second,
or bad third, is hideous trayesty Of
what it was meant to be. aud 1t can
never draw anything but a blank in
the marriage lottery.
The girl who marries FOR a home has
provided herself FOR the best Of her
days with a cage. which she must

Marriage can hardly he a lottery In

one could tell them 50 confidently
beforehand that il will never draw
anything in their case but dreary
blank.

N.RAYs AND DIGESTION.
This Process Causes Their Emission, ~
Does Muscular Activity.

Does Muscular Activity.
That the processes Of digestion, as
well as mental ana muscular activity,
seem 10 cause the emission OF N-rays,
Is the conclusion reached by NJ. Lam
bert. In France, after series OF inter
esting experiments. lie believes that
these curious rays are produced by
fcrments, especially by those con-
cerned in the digestion Of albumInoid
matter. In his experiments on diges-
ton says n writer in Harper's Week
~, NJ. Lambert placed a small quantity
Of hbrin in tubes containing IN one
case activated pancreatic juice, and
In another artificial gastric juice made
by mixing five per cent solution Of
pepsin with q four per cent solution
Of hydrOChlOric acid. From these
tubes the N-rays were emitted and
were detected not only by producing
increa sed luminescen0e of phDs-
phOrescent screen, but also photo
graphically thus removing the sub
Iectivp element from the experiment.
As result Of these experiments, VI.
Lambert believes that in the course
of digestion sthe hb~n undergocs
strains which act 10 produce Nrays.

GRUBBING OUT STUMPS.

Grubbing out stumps or trees is a
hard job. If all the roots are removed.
1t does not pay to dig ont all the roots
except in road building or digging cell
lars. The best way to remove small
trees from the soil is 10 cut them down
six or eight inches from the ground.
Dig the soil away from the stump.
from four to six inches deep. cut a
length of stove wood from the stump
and cover the roots with soil. It is
much easier TO cut the tree twice than
cut it through the tough roots the first
time as it is a hard job to work out a
chip long enough to fell the tree ex-
cept hewing out n little at a time by
taking tiers of clips. When cutting
the stump the blocks may be split off
in thin pieces working around the
stump TO get the narrOwest side each
time. The roots remaining in the soil
will decay in a few years, causing the
soil to settle a little, which may be
filed and reseedcd.--J. III. Andre. in
The Epitomist
