In DR.. A. B. scherer's young ia

-Four and Twenty Paragons," which
Japanese children are set to read for
the purpose Of character building. He
says: "Of one Of these paragons it is
told that, although his mother was but
a stepmother and one who treated him
cruelty at that, yet his sense of filial
duty was so great that in winter,
when the streams were frozen, he
would lie naked on the ice, thereby
melting a hole with the warmth of his
body, SO that he might catch fish to
satisfy the whims Of her appetite. An
other would lie unclothed upon the
hoor at night, without mosquito net
ting, to entice the bloodthfrsty insects
from their attempts to pierce the nets
Of his parents. But the chief Of all
the paragons perhaps was be who

Question Of Legality.

Within a recent time several couples
have been married in this county on
licenses issued in other counties, and
some married in other counties, on
licenses issued in this. There is some
question as to the legality of such mar

are on the anxious seat. The code pro-
vides a fine of several hundred dollars
for the conviction of any minister or of.

AN ANCIENT CUSTOM.
Wassail1nx Of Apple Trees still OBJ
served In Par of England.
What ts the wassailing Of apple

What is the wassailing Of apple
treess
This is an old custom, fast dying out,
but still observed in parts Of Somerset
and Devon. At Wooton-B asset, neal
Minehead. the ceremony takes place
on old Twelfth eve. All assemble at
the farmhouse, and, after a hearty
meal, form a procession to the nearest
orchard. the master in front with a
light, and men with old guns, blunder-
busses and anything that makes a
noise, in the rear. Plenty Of cider is
taken and some pieces of toast.
When the orchard is reached a ring
is formed. and the master, in the cen
ter, SEXES a branch and sings a verse
beginning, "Oh, apple tree, I wassail
thee, in hopes that thou wilt blow"
Then all shout in chorus:
Hatfuls. capfuls, three bushel bagfuls,
Barn ~oorfuls, tullet holefuls,
And a little heap under the stairs.
Then follow cheers, drinking of
healths, shouts of "Now, Tom Pod, we
wassail thee!" and the placing Of the
pieces Of toast, soaked in cider, among
the branches for the robins.-London

eastern part of the city and stands 70
feet in height. with a grain capacity of
$1,000 bushels, probably the greatest of
any elevator west of the Missouri and
possibly in the state out side the Red

POULTRY II WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA.

E. H. Durham, of this city. recently
wrote its progress in Poultry Journal as
follows:
Much has been written in regard to
poultry raising in different sections of the
country. The writer has raised poultry
in different parts of the country and, so
far, has failed to find a better place than
western North Dakota for poultry rails
ing. Warm, dry springs for Matching
and starting chicks, and ideal summers
and late falls to grow them into healthy
and vigorous fowls for winter eggs.
Fresh eggs readily bring from 80 to 40
cents per dozen. From November Istto
March 1st b%roilers sell at s1.oo per pair
when they weigh IN pounds. Our
neighbor state, Montana, makes an ex-
cellent market for both poultry and
eggs. All kinds of feed are pro6tably
grown; wheat, oats, barley. speltz, rye,
corn, %sunflower seed, cabbage, turnips,
beets and alfalfa are grown in abun-
dance.
Houses can be easily constructed of
either adobe or sod. l prefer the adobe
houses, as they are easily cleaned and
whitewashed, inside and out, and are
strictly frost proof. The walls should be
about 10 inches thick. This Can be done
by setting temporary posts about u in
ches apart, inside and out, using planks
2x12 inches, for the molds. Fill in with
mud, we'll mixed with hay Or fax straw
to hold it firmly together; six or eight
planks will be all that are needed for
the mold work. Tramp mud in firmly
and let it stand until we'll set before
raising the planks to add more mud.
When the wall is nearly completed,
say a foot from plate, set in foot bolts
with a board at bottom, say 2 feet long
and about E inches wide. These are to
anchor plate for roof. When you have
bolts set, say about 6 feet apart. fill to
about 3 inches from top of bolt. Now
put on plate and bolt it down, fill in with
mud flush with plate and walls are ready
for roof. The roof also can be covered
with mud and made rain and frost proof.
Place rafters 2 feet apart, use common
boards, n layer of tar felt, now owe
with about 3 inches of mud, the same as
for side walls. When thoroughly dry
you will see that it has cracked some.
Now mix up: a thin solution of mud and
wash the roof. This will fill all the
cracks and make the roof strictly rain
proof and will last for years.
There are buildings in this country
that have been built for years and are
nearly as good, if not as good, as when
first built.

Sit Up Straight.

Your backbone vas not made for a
barrel hoop, so do not curve it around,
but rather straighten it out. God made
man upright-not round ~shouldered,
humpbacked or bending over.
If you bend over too much in your
studies, get a lower seat. Saw the
legs off from IN old chair, and then
sit down SO low that your chin will
come just above the table. Make the
hind legs a little shorter than the fore
legs, and then read and write with
your arms on the table, and It will

The past week has been cold and

in considerable areas it exceeded 2
inches, and in some places was more

Winter wheat harvest progressed
rapidly in southeastern counties, and
is nearly finished in the extreme east
ern counties; it is just beginning in
central and western counties. The
crop now promises to be good, both
as to yield and quality. Oats have i'm
proved in condition during the week.
Some rust has appeared in spring
wheat, and the crop is decidedly less
promising. Potatoes continue to grow
well. Considerable alfalfa hay was
damaged by rain, and some clover and
timothy was also injured. The hay
crop will be large, except in a few
southeastern counties. Corn has
grown fairly well during the week,
but needs warmer weather. 1t is
small for the season of the year.
Cultivation has been retarded by rain
in most counties and the crop is get
ting weedy. Some fields in southeast
ern counties have been laid by fairly
