Deceased Wife's Sister.

There, is an erroneous impression
that marriage with a deceased Wffe's
sister is easy in France. AS a matter
Of fact, it can be performed only by
the authorization of the government,
which is very serious affair. When
application is made a minute inquiry
into the private lives of the applicants
is set on foot. Apparently this is so
exacting that no average standard Of
rectitude can pass the ordeal. The
minister Of justice has issued a circu-
lar to the responsible officials requir-
ing them to conduct their examination
in "a large and humane spirit, so as to
soften whatever may be too rigorous
in the bearing of the civil code on the
majority of cases." In Paris atte1-
ton is called to the fact that the house
OF commons has frequently approved
marriage with deceased wife's sister,
and it is suggested that a bill to re-
move all obstacles should be passed
through the French hamber.-London

him by gesture and ordered his class

to one of the students, what is the

besides having the virtue of being
quite true. DR. Madison G. Peters was
the victim. He CHANGED to be stop

Not long since we saw the wife of a
pretty we'll fixed farmer dragging a
heavy sack and hunting around the
place for fuel with which to cook the
evening meal, and as she found some
cobs or some sticks or some pieces Of
board she would put them into the
sack. Seeing this woman thus working,
we wondered if her husband thought
as much of her as he did Of his cows,
horses or hogs. Now you men who
read this, see here. Don't you secure at
once for your own comfort and conven-
fence each and all of the improved de-
vices for doing your farm work? And
don't you know that you often go into
debt for them at that? The use of
these improved appliances has made
your work vastly easier and taken from
the farm very much of it's old time
slavery and toll. Now, what have you
done in this line for your good wives?
Practically nothing at all-no soft wa
ter save as you can catch some in a
leaking barrel, no woodhouse, no wood
pile, no conveniently arranged kitchen
and modern cooking utensils, no paint
ed floor, no washing machine, none Of
the hundred and one little inventions
which SO tighten the housekeeper's toll.
And the wife, partly because you al
ways preach that you are hard up
and partly because of her ignorance
that such labor saving devices exist,
goes on uncomplainingly. There was a
time when poverty excused to some eX-
tent this neglect and selfshness, but
that day has passed, and any man
worth $1,000 who will compel his wife
to work in the old poverty rut needs
attending to. In all fairness a man
should provide his wife with the same
improved facilities for doing her work
which he secures for himself, and If
he won't do it he is an old brute.

If one could take six distinct and diff
ferent breeds of fowls-for instance,
White Brahma, Leghorn, Houdan,
Langshan, Plymouth Rock and Wyan-
dotte-and let the breeds mix, hit and
go MISS for six years, what sort of a
breed Of fowls would one have at the
end of that period? Well, for one thing
the law of reversion would be very
nicely illustrated. The distinctive fea-
lures of each of these breeds would dis
appear. The ultimate product would
be just common scrub stock, with the
chance that the Leghorn type would
suffer the least in the metamorphosis,
as that breed more closely follows the
original type of jungle fowl from which
all our poultry originally came. This
same process of deterioration and re-
version to original types operates just
as powerfully with stock of the i'm
proved breeds as it does with poultry,
and it explains why when man starts
out to cross Jerseys with Holsteins,
Shorthorns with Polled Anguses and all
other sorts of cross breeding he soon
finds himself a breeder of simple and
original scrubs. The improved breeds
Of poultry and stock are, we might say,
purely artificial productions, the re-
suits of careful selection by man, and
need to be continually REINFORCED and
fortified by additions of blood from ami
mails excelling in the particular quail
ties for which the breed may be noted.
Now you can see why the grade sire
will always run herd of stock or
flock of poultry down and how impor-
tant it is to select only the purest bred
sires If herd of cattle or a flock Of
poultry is to improved in quality or
even maintained in excellence.

When winter comes, too much can
hardly be said in favor of the evergreen
as an adjunct of the farm homestead
1t affords when properly planted an
impenetrable wall of protection from
the fierce and bitter prairie winds and
the drifting snow; it affords shelter
{ to many of the birds which try to pass
the winter in the north country and
when the ground is covered with snow
is the most attractive feature of any
country landscape. No man can do a
better thing for his farm home than to
plant out next spring three or four
rows of evergreens around the north
and west sides Of his premises. Plant
white pine or Scotch pine, and if Sass
riety is wanted put in some red and
white cedar and spruce. Plant at least
twelve feet apart each way to give the
trees chance to make good wide and
thick base. Take care Of them, and in
fifteen years you won't care whether it
storms or not.

We are again asked to give some
