Money Tor Brides.

In order to promote marriage
there Is the idea advanced to form
a great national scheme to present
every labor union bride with a dow
ry of five hundred dollars. There
is some hesitation. however, lest the
men object to the plan. but this is
doubtless a false idea. Both viii
get married whether there is mon
ey inducement or not and 1t is not
usual for either to reject the oppor-
unity to get money. whether it be
free or not. Besides, those who are
so fearful that race suicide may be-
come rampant can consistently try
the plan If it works. all well and
good. If 1T does not prove success
full, 1t is an easy enough matter to
go out of business under the bank
rupt laws OF the country.

Chnntnnnnn,s Success.

From the standpoint of excellency
the Clarksburg Chautauqua the pres
ent week has been a grand success,
though, perhaps, not what it should

point. Certainly, there are none to
complain that the program has not
been as good as usually found at
other Chautauquas, for. with such
speakers as Captain Hobson and
John Temple Graves such claim is
easily refuted. The musical and
other features have also been of the

The use and value OF the sIlo has
made phenomenal progress throughout
the country during recent years. In
1888 the United States Agricultural
Department reported only ninety silos
In the country. The recent report finds
approximately 10000. Formerly the
benefits OF the silo were almost wholly
unknown 10 the average farmer; now
II is found 10 be a necessity on thou
sands OF farms. This is especially true
In the corn belt where the silo is almost

Recent experiments prove coneiusiyely
that the use OF sIlage IS quite as much

not only provides a palatabIe. succu-
lent healthy food, but enables the
farmer TO keep about twice the number
OF live stock as before the advent OF
the silo. II not only produces nearly
double the quantity OF dairy products
