THE COUNTRY HOME.

Did you ever stop to think that the
prospect of visit to the country home
is usually hailed with delight by both
young and old alike? The spirit of hos
pitality, comfort and plenty which per-
vades the whole atmosphere of the
farm home is delightful in the ex-
IRENE, especially to those who come
from city homes where economy is
practiced on every corner and the
good things so appetizing in the farm
home mean a good substantial tug at
the pocketbook when purchased In the
city. The hostess in the country home
cultivates and enjoys her friends. She
can afford to be hospitable with re-
sources at her command which meet
the demand of every occasion. She
makes her guests feel at home and
happy, while they in turn respond to
the freedom and lack of formality with
great eagerness.

Great Grief and Head shaving.

Among the ancients shaving the head
was a very common mode Of express
ing great grief or sorrow. Sometimes
It was done by the priest or some other
religious functionary formally cutting
off the hair, sometimes by violently
plucking it out by the roots. In eX-
IRENE cases among men the beard as
well as the hair was either cut off or
plucked out. The idea seems to have
been that mourners should divest them
selves of that which under ordinary cir
cumstances was considered most beau
tiful, ornamental and becoming. Lu-
clan land he is not the only one who
gives points on this queer mourning

pressed their intense sorrow by cutting
of the hair upon the death Of their god

GRAVEYARD Marriages,

A strange custom prevails among
certain tribe in the Caucasus. When a
single young man dies. some one calls
upon a ber'aved parent who has car
ried to the crave manageable daugh-
ter in the course of year and says:
~Your son Ia sure to want a wife. I'll
give you my daughter, and you shall de-
liver to me the marriage portion in re-
turn" A friendly Offer of this descrip
ton is never rejected, and the two par.
ties soon come to terms as to the
amount of the dowry, which varies ac-
cording to the advantages possessed
by the girl ID her lifetime. Cases have
been known where the young mans ia
Their has given as much as thirty cows
to secure dead wife for his dead son.

for some unaccountable reason he be.
trayed the confidence which his patron
had reposed in him. When Bonaparte

was to have been tried the following
day and in all probability he would
have been condemned. as his guilt was
fully established In the meantime

audience of the emperor.

"After You. Gentlemen"

The French at Fontenoy. sheltered
by the ridge, could scarcely believe
their eyes at the sight of the English
gunners Slowing round their pieces to
cover them. When they at length real,
lied that it was one of the enemy's
and not one of their own batteries the
officers of the Gardes Francois rushed
to the head of their men, shouting to
them to deploy and charge the cannon
Almost at the same moment the gren
adiers cleared the hilltop and began to
descend upon him. 1t was then that
there occurred that wonderful meeting
which has charmed so many genera
tons of readers. Every one knows the
description of the scene for which Vol
taire was indebted to D'Argeson; how
the French officers in their blue and
silver coats and their long scarlet vests
and stockings, waited the approach of
the grenadiers, hat in hand; how the
redcoats DOTTED their marvellous shield
fronted caps, while Lord Charles Hay
bowed to the opposing line, with the
words. Gentlemen Of the French
guard. please to fire firstw to which the
Comte d'Anteroche replied: Gentle
men, we never fire first. Fire your
selvesv Such was battle of the
grand age as pictured by the arlstocrat
who saw the universe reflected in the
mirrors of the Dell de Boeuf, bpt in the
Lothian papers there is yellrw letter,

be feared, more natural version Of the
story.-London Spectator.

Two coins clinked together give so
good an imitation of the robins metal
lie note that this device has long been
employed in England to attract the
welcome ''harbinger of spring." For
meriy male robins were shared by the
clinking of two copper pennies near a
dummy bird. The dummy was perched
on twig smea-ed with bird lime. and
cock robin, attracted by the sound and
suspecting a rival, flew at him with
blood in his eye This is in violation of
the bird laws in the United States, and
no one who lives where robins make
their home in confidence is likely to
give the odd trick so unpleasant a
finale. The clinking coppers serve a
much more agreeable purpose as a
means of rendering cock robin socia.

onion soup and Fame.

Membership in the French academy,
the hoped for reward of Gallo writer's
was once closely associated with onion
soup. During the restoration In France
a club was formed under the title OF
"Diner de Ia Soupe rOnion." This or

The club was to endure until every as
sociate was elected to the academy.
This was accomplished in 1S45, when
the last banquet was held.
