TRY TO SEE HUSBANDS.
When Tired Of Single Life Russian
Maidens Resort to So-Called
Divination.

Russian girls frequently amuse them
selves by attempting to discover what
sort of a husband will eventually lead
them to the altar. A favorite manner
of doing this is by so-called divinatlon:
says Cassell's Magazine.
The girl who is tired of a single life
sits in the mystic hours OF the night,
between two large mirrors. On each
side she places a candle, and Their eager
ly watches until she can see IL reflected
lights. If the fates are propitious, she
ought also to discern the husband she
desires portrayed in the glass before
her.
Another method of divination is to
have supper laid for two. II the young
lady is in luck, the apparition OF the
future husband will come and sit down
beside her; but in order to secure sue
cess the girl must not divulge to any
one her intention of thus attempting to
dive into futurity.
There is a story told to the effect that
the daughter of a rich farmer was in
love with a young lieutenant. and ne,
suspecting that she would probably
have supper laid for two, climbed the
wall of the garden, and, sitting down
by her side. partook of the prepared
banquet; the girl being under the i'm
preston that it was his apparition, and
not the real simon pure.
On leaving the room, the officer for
got his sword, which he had unbuckled
before he sat down to supper. The girl,
finding the weapon after his departure,
hid it in the cupboard, as a memento OF
the visitor.
Eventually she married another
sutton. and he. fancying that there was
some rival who supplanted him in his
wife's affection, and n day discover
ing the sword. was confirmed in his sus-
picions. and killed her in a fit of pas
sion.
Sometimes the inquisitive husband
seeker will take a candle. and, melting
the wax. pour it on the snow, after which
she strives to discern in the hardened
substance the likeness of him she seeks.
A very fayorite amusement when sew
eral girls are congregated under the
same roof is to divine by the aid of a
cock. Each girl. taking some corn,
makes a small heap on the floor, and
there conceals a ring. The chanticleer
is then introduced. and is let loose beside
the corn. Presently he begins to peck
at the heaps of grain. At last one Of
the rings is exposed to view, when its
owner. according to the popular belief,
will outstrip her companions in the race
for matrimony.

Cotton appears to receive more at
tention from destructive insects than
any other plant, which fact is probably
due to it's rich fiber, oily seeds and its
location in a very warm climate.
"A very good way to apply water In
a dry time is by means of perforated
tin cans. Sink them in ground near a
plant and fill with water. The water
seeps out gradually through the holes
and causes the roots to sink deeply.
Various estimates of the loss oc-
casioned to the cotton planters last
season Q903) have been made, and
range from 235 600 to 500, 900 bales of
cotton $500 lbs. per bale), representing
from eight to twenty-five millions of
dollars.
Two or three years of grain plant
ing would make a decided impression
upon the boil weevil, enrich the cot

up, so that when the conditions are
favorable it might be. policy to again

DISPOSAL OF DEAD HOGS.
to the Fnrmer and II Com
munfty I'm General.

N N"G
The proper disposal of dead hogs
means a great deal to the farmer and
also to the community in which he
lives. He should consider it his duty
to keep his surroundings is free from
infectious diseases as possible. This
applies not only in the matter of prop
erly disposing of dead animals, but to
everything under his care.
His stables should be thoroughly
ventilated and should receive an appli-
cation Of whitewash once or twice a
year, to which has been added a little
carbolic acid.
If an animal becomes sick he should
give it proper attention, and if the dis
ease is new to him, he should quaran-
tine the animal until well.
If one of his hogs dies he should dis
pose of the body in such a way that no
trouble will come from it. Too often
this is overlooked. While many men
would not harm their neighbors if they
knew it, they will often drag the body
of a dead hog into some gully or out
of-the-way place and leave it to decay.
The place looks to them remote and
they do not think of the harm that
may come.
In case the hog died of some o n
tagious disease the germs of this dis
ease are at first, of course, very nu-
merous in the body. They are easily
transferred from the body 10 anything
that comes in contact with ii. In this
way dogs and wild animals, such as
vermin and snakes, come in contact
with the body and then carry the
germs to neighboring farms. One can
readily see how dangerous this is to
the community.
The practice of burying diseased ami
mails is generally resorted to and is a
very good method. although there Is
still some danger, especially if the
body is not put down deep enough, But
it is best to always burn the body, thus
eliminating nearly all possible chances
of further danger. If carried On thor
oughly and properly very little, if any.
bad results can come from it. There
really should be certain requirements

 And next we contemplate with q thrill of genuine pride the corrtly and stately Ingersoll, whose democracy, as all who knew him best can testify, was a profound and lifelong conviction.
 Time will not permit to do more than bid you recall to your minds the great Richard D.

st Petersburg, Sept (1:45 p. m.)-- From the latest advices received by the war office the authorities now be- 1eve that the danger of Field Marshal Oyama cutting off General Kuropatkin has practically passed According to their calculations the whole Russian army should reach Mrlkden tomorrow night. Generals Kurolzi and Kuropat- kin have been marching northward along parallel lines, but both armies being greatly hanpered by heavy roads, the Japanese in rough region and the Russians along flat coun- try, but embarrassed by the high Chi nese corn. which prevented marching on the side of the main roads. No dif- hclllty is being experienced at the Hun river Ca few miles south of Mukdenl, where bridges had been provided for crossing the stream. There has been constant fighting at the Russian rear and along the eastern wing, but so far as known by the war office nothing of importance has occurreds since the retreat began
 The general staff naturally, is re- ticent about Kuropatkin's plans, and especially whether he intends to stop at MgIkden. His decision probably will depend upon the intentions of the Japanese Contingent preparations will probably be made to evacuate Nfukden, and there is considerable evil dence. that Krropatkin, if compelled to go north, will make stand at Iieling, where the Russians wintered last year. Ideling is forty miles north of AIukden. At this point there Is mar row defile, wiWl the Liao river on one side and mountains running almost down to the railroad on the other. Steps are being taken to guard against possible attempt to cut the line there
 The report that the sailing of the Baltic squadron had been postponed until November, Is officially denied, as also Is the report that several of the ships composing 1t developed defects. The squadron will sail for Libau Sun day. Exactly when 1t will sail thence is not known.
 Although the report that Rear Ad- miral Ouktomsy, In command Of the Russian fleet at Port Arthur is to pa courtmartialed is untrue, the admiral ty has decided to recall him, probably placing Captain Wiren, Of the arm ored cruiser Bayan, in command It has been realized all along that OqllS- tomsky lacked the requisites of a cCm- mander of a fleet under such difficnIf EcircumstanceE but owing to the i'm, possibility of sending flag officer to Port Arthur he was allowed to remain lin command. The admiralty is great ly dissatisfied with his action in re. turning to Port Arthur August 10 in face of the order of the late Admiral Withoft not to do so, ana this led to the decision to supplant him.
