Chinese wedding superstitions

No other country has SO many super
stitions about marriage as China. The
Chinese never marry within a hundred
days after a death has taken place in
the family of either the bride or groom,
for if they do they believe domestic
troubles are sure to follow. There
seems to be no reason for this belief,
and the Chinese do not attempt to eX-
plain it, but are willing to let it go
as an undisputed fact A Chinese bride
may be brought to the house Of the
groom while there is a coffin in the
house, but not within hundred days
after it has been taken out If bride
breaks the heel of her shoe while she
is going from her fathers to her hlls-
bands home it is ominous Of unhappi-
ness to her new relations. A side Of
bacon and a piece Of sugar are hung
on the back of a brides sedan chair as
a peace offering to evil spirits, and
when she is dressing for the wedding
ceremony she stands all the while in
round wicker basket When a bride
Is eating her last meal at the table of
her father before going to live with her
husband she is allowed to consume
only half bowl of rice, lest she be
followed by continual scarcity In her
new abode.

THE SHEEP. BARN.
A Mistake to Close 1t In Summer.
Sheen Need 1T.


Sheep Need 1t.
The sheep barn during the summer
months should be made acceptable for
unrestrained occupation by the flock.
The prevailing practice among flock
masters is us soon as the flock goes to
pasture to close the sheep barn for the
season and compel the dock to seek
protection where available. This prac-
tice is wrong and deleterious to the
flock. The sheep barn can and should
be made as serviceabIe during the sum-
mer as the winter months, and in so
doing serve double purpose During
the summer the sheep barn should serve
as a protection against excessive heat
and drenching storms. 1t can be made
more adequate retreat during the
heat Of the Gay than is possible for the
flock to o,i1@ln elseW here. Sheep suffer
greatly froIA intense heat There are
always during the summer frequent
local &tJlG-<-s that are followed by
nights of cold, damp air. This weather
is injurious to health and not infre
quently lays the foundation of disease
in the flock

Protection From Parasites.


Parasitic trouble is one of the serious
things that infest the dock during sum-
mer The sheep barn affords a means
through which parasitic trouble can
be eliminated in a great measure.
Sheep suffering from intense heat will
huddle together either in fence corners
or under shade trees, thus affording an
excellent breeding place for parasites.
If the flock is allowed access to the
sheep barn a disinfectant can be APP
piled effectually about it, Then, too,
the occasional visit to the barn gives
the owner a chance to examine his
flock and discover parasitic trouble
early before the entire flock becomes
seriously infested. The foregoing are
only part Of the benefits of the open
sheep barn as enumerated by T.. G.
Reynolds of Michigan in the National
Stockman, the conservation Of manure
and protection from dogs being other
items. In conclusion Mr.. Reynolds sug-
gests that the barn be we'll cleaned to
start with, and the windows curtained
to retard sunlight, as this keeps out
flies and other insects. Good ventila-
ton should be afforded and litter used
frequently and abundantly underfoot.

Original Story of
Custer Massacre

water. Men volunteered to go
with canteens and camp kettles
though to go was almost certain
death. The attempt succeeded,
though in making it one man
was killed and several wounded.
The men were relieved and that
night the animals were Watered.
The fight closed at dark opening
again next morning and continu-
ing until the afternoon Of the
9th. Meantime the men became
more and more exhausted and all
wondered what had become of
Custer. A panic all at once was
created among the Indians and
they stampeded from the hills
and from the valleys and the vii
lage was soon deserted except for
the dead. Reno and his brave
band felt that succor was nigh.
Gen. Terry came in sight and
strong men Wept on each others
necks but no word was had from
Custer. Hand shaking and com
gratulations were scarcely over
when Lieut.. Bradley reported
that he had found Custer dead
with one hundred and ninety
cavalry men. Imagine the Eff
feet. Words cannot picture the
feeling OF these his comrades
and soldiers. Gen. Terry sought
the spot and found it to be true.
OF those brave men that followed
Custer al persisted no one lives
tofell the story Of the battle.
Those deDloyed ais skirishers lay
as fell shot down from every
side having been entirely SUR
rounded in an open plain.
Then nlenin the companies fell

skirmisll line Law AS they fell
with their officers behind them

Custer who was shot through the
head and body seemed to have
been among the last TO fall and

brother law and his nephew

future campaign. ..t
The men were worn out with
marching and fighting, and are
almost wholly destitute Of cloth
ing.
The Indians numbered at least
| eighteen hundred lodges in their
permanent camp, while those
who fought Crook seem to have
Joined them, making their effec-
tive fighting force nearly four
thousand. These were led BY
chiefs carrying flags Of various
colors. nine of whom were found
ina burial tent on the field Of
battle. Many other dead were
found on the field, and near it
ten squaWs at one point in a RAJ
vine evidently the work Of Rec
or Crow scouts. Y.
The Indian dead were great in
number, as they were constantly
assaulting an inferior force.
The camp had the appearance 81
being abandoned in haste. The
most gorgeous ornaments were
found on the bodies Of the dead
chiefs, and hundreds of finely
dressed and painted robes and
skins were thrown about the
camp The Indians were Ger.
lrainly severely punished.
We said none Of those who
went into battle with Custer are
living one Crow scout hid him
self In a field and witnessed and
survived the fight. This story IS
plausible and is accepted, but We
have not room for it now
The total number of killed was
two hundred and sixty-one
wounded 81. Thirty eight sof the
wounded were brought down on

Bathgate Pink Paper: w. A. Fai-
coner, writing the Bismarck Tribune
last October, says our contention
that taxes should be made due
October list and delinquent December
1st, is not practical. That assess
ments are made in April and May;
the local equalization board meets in
June, the county board in July and
the state board in August. That the
tax sale comes ON the first Tuesday
in December and making that the
date of delinquency would so pile up
work that the county treasurer would
be unable to attend to it.
This argument is entirely along the
line of convenience for the county Of
ficers and does not take into con-
sideration the interests of the people
or public BUSINESS The state board
could meet in July, which would give
the county treasurer and auditor go
days in which to prepare the books
for tax payment if taxes are made

A change to October and December
might necessitate some notifications
in other parts of the law, but that is
almost always the case in amending
laws. The delay in date of delin-
quency was made as a special favor

er make his notes payable? Is 1t not,
almost without exception, sometime
from October LIST to December LIST?
This shows that they feel that to be
the easiest time for payment. If in
any other business transaction, (and
this is just a business transaction,)
you should suggest date of payment
at March LIST, he would object. The
farmer and the business man alike
are better able. to pay their taxes dur
ing the two naonths mentioned than
