The Art of Ruling a Wife.

There are many wise ;nen and women too, who periodically spring sets of rules for married folk. None of these rules are anything but good and all seem inter- esting. But there Is quite q novel touch in woman's setting rules for the guid- ance of husband. However d woman tells How 10 Make Woman Hnppy' in the columns of little literary journal called 'tThe Books of Today and the Books Uf Tomorrow.
 Unquestionably it will interest all men. benedicts or bachelors, to read these rules, so here they are: -
 Keep up the Illusion. Don't settle down toe obviously to married life Re as eager to please her as you were before marriage.
 Remember that the new H.e. which to you Is merely an episode. Is to her n complete revolution Of thought and habit an undiscovered country. Make allow {. anees for her
 Tell her occasionally that you love her. She knows it. but she likes to hear it over again. She can't always take 1t for granted.
 Start in the way you want to continue. fartieulariy In affairs of the purse Never humiliate her by making her ask for money. Have a definite understanding at first. Money causes the discord which makes most family bells to jangle out of tune.
 Be thoughtful in little things. A single rose may perfume a whole day
 Tell her your sorrows as well as your joys. Two can bear trouble better than one. She is your wife, not your sister. and she loves you. You owe 1t to her She may develop new power and grace with the knowledge
 Learn to bear with her occasional tears. Men must work and women must weep.
 Don't embarrass her by adverse criti. cism of any kind before people Make it curtain lecture if 1t must be.
 Don't forget to kiss her good-by.
 Make her feel that she is the only woman you have ever loved. This is very important.
 Don't tease her and then refuse to be leased yourself
 Treat her like comrade and friend. but never forget above all that she Is n woman, who needs your utmost sympa- thy and protection l.-
 Above all keep up the illusion, if you can. It is worth while.

Ice Evaporates.

An inquirer asks il ice evaporates.
and whether plants under thin sheets
of ice can be protected by it Temporal
lily. In answer, plants may be protect
ed by ice If they happen to be in prop
er position, the most common form
being in snow. Ice and snow evaporate
slowly at all temperatures. They evap-
crate most rapidly when nearly up to
the freezing point, and with the wind
blowing strongly over them. The less
the wind, the slower the evaporation;
and as the temperature falls, the less
is evaporated. The experiment may be
easily tried during continuous cold
weather, by pouring water on the face
of horizontal board where 1t will
freeze. and then observing the time re-
quired for it to. disappear under the
various conditions of cold, wind and
time. 1t often happens that crops are
planted In windy places, and become
covered with coat of snow. The wind
evaporates the snow before the owner
is aware, and winter-killing is the re-
sult-Cosntry Gentleman.

Buyjno a Horse.

II you want to buy a horse take no
mans word for its soundness and
value. but trust your own eyes and
judgment. Don't buy horse In har-
ness. Unhitch him and take everything
OF but the halter and lead him around.
II he has any failing you can see It.
Let'him go away by himself and If he
walks right into anything you will
know he is blind. No matter how clear
and bright his eyes are he Is wholly
sightless. Take him by the head and
make him move backward. Some horses
show their weakness or other tricks in
that way when they don't in any other.
Notwithstanding the closest examina-
ton you can make of a strange horse
you are liable to be deceived. Even ex-
perts are deceived sometimes after the
most careful and thorough tests. A
horse may look ever so nice and go to
a great pace and yet have fits. No man
can tell of the existence of this ailmen
until something happens to develop
it. Or he may have a weak back. Give
him the whip and of he goes for a
mile or two, then suddenly he stops.
After a rest he starts again but soon
stops and for the time being is unable
to move. Such horse and there are
many such fixed up for sale, Is worth
no more than the value of his hide

A Coughing Plant.

Carnivorous plants are known
which will consume even mice; laugh
ing plants and plants that weep are
also known; tnt no one has ever
heard of a vegetable that suffered
from whooping cough.
There exists, however, a plant
which prospers in tropical countries
and the fruit of which resembles the
common broad bean. 1t Is quite a
crank, easily gets into a rage. and
what is more peculiar, has a horror
of dust
: AS soon as a few grains of dust are
deposited on its leaves the stomata
or air chambers which cover their
faces and which are the respiratory
organs of the plant become filed
with a gas, swell and end by driving
out the gas with slight explosion
and a sound which resembles so much
the cough of a child suffering from a
cold as to be mistaken for it.
1t serves as an ornamental plant.
One can imagine the concert that
would be furnished by two or three
of these strange plants in a drawing
room in which the coming and going
of visitors has raised a cloud of face
powder. Journal de la Sante.

Fooled the Milk Thief

Flat jewellers on the upper West
Side are victims OF milk thieves. Bot
ties of the tactical fluid left on the
dumbwaiters at early hours are not to
be found when the breakfast hour ar
rives. Despite all efforts of the jani-
tors and the milkmen themselves, the
purloiners have managed to escape de-
lection. Suspicion. however, is direct
ed toward a gang of Independent"
milk dealers who follow the regular
wagons, abstract the bottles and resell
them to customers. Il put up a deal
yesterday" said former Pittsburger,
hopefully. Our cream is delivered at
4 o'clock in the morning, and before 5
o'clock it invariably Is gone. Yester-
day got up at 4, took the cream in as
soon as it arrived, emptied nearly all
of it out of the bottle and then filed
the bottle with water. The remain
ing cream colored it sufficient so that
in the morning dusk no one would no
tice the substitution. I returned the
bottle to its accustomed place, and, as
usual, it was stolen. | may never have
the pleasure of knowing the result, but
live in hope that at least one milkman
will not only lose a customer, but get
a proper calling down into the bar

Light and Heavy Oats.

The weight of oats per bushel varies
from thirty pounds to fifty, and even
fifty-five pounds in some of the west
ern irrigated states. The Office of ex-
pertinent stations notes an experiment
on three pairs of Percheron horses
which were fed light and heavy oats.
The practical results of this expert
ment seem to indicate that pound for
pound, the light oats have nearly the
same feeding value as the heavy oats.
Although the heavy oats contain a
higher percentage Of protein and car
bohydrates, and a less percentage OF
fibre than the oats, 1t seems probable
that the relative proportions of these
constituents are such that they are
more easily and thoroughly digested
1t should be remembered that although
the two. grades are practically equal,
pound for pound, they are not equal,

Farm Notes.

Breed the best ewes to the best
rams.
Sheep are always improving or they
are deteriorating.
The way to keep ideal sheep is by
trying to improve them.
Stationary troughs and racks are moi
desirable In the sheep stable.
An uneven lot of good sheep are bet
ter than an uneven lot of poor ones.
In fattening sheep especially, punct-
uality in feeding should be strictly OBJ
served.
Ewes will produce larger and better
lambs If in thrifty condition at time
of mating.
At weaving, II, possible, the ewes
should be placed in a field out of hear
ing of the lambs.
1t is well to place the ewes on short
pasture for week or more after the
lambs are weaned
If radical change in the rations
is made too suddenly, growth of both
body and fleece is liable to suffer a
check.-From sheep Notes" in the

cRokER's JOKE ON ENGLISH
eorrows $4,000 as a Poor Irish
Farmer Under the Land Act.

6orroWs $4,000 as Poor Irish
Farmer Under the Land Act.
Richard Croker was r, ognized as
a poor Irish tenant farh er" by the
Irish Land Commission, and thereby
hangs tale showing the old Tam
many boss still possesses all his finan-
cial shrewdness and persuasive abil-
ity in argument. Where a lawyer
failed Croker succeeded not once, but
twice in having the commission change
its mind, and because of his fine work
he becomes a borrower from the
British exchequer under exceptionally
favorable terms.
Croker offered $31,500 for farm to
Lord Carysfort, and after much nego-
tiation the offer was accepted. Then
Croker sent his lawyer before the
Land Commission to argue that under
the Irish Land act of 1903 it should
advance the money to buy the farm.
The commission would not be moved,
and Croker himself appeared before
it and answered the old question of
New York days, where did you get
it?" by saying, 81 have not got it."
Croker looked grieved and exclaimed:
"You gentlemen are treating me
unfairly. You think am the million
aire I am reported to be. tell you
I am not a millionaire. I am as much
entitled to the benefits of this act as
any other tenant in Ireland"
The commissioners pondered Crok-
er's plea, and offered to advance $751;
0S0, but Croker returned again to the
attack, and to such good effect that
he received the full grant of $4,000
under the law. Just what this means
in a business way may be gathered
from the fact the $4,000 will be re-
paid, with IL percent interest in d.
minishing installments extending over
s. years and mot only that. but
the annual repayment will be 80 per-
cent less than the annual rent Croker
was paying to Lord Carysfort for the
farm.-Dublin correspondence of the

ORIGIN OF FADs.

Most fads have an odd origin. This
is true of the present notion for wear
ing a narrow band OF black velvet
about the throat, either tied in little
bow In the back or crossed and fast
ened with a brooch in front. Late
last summer an impertinent mosquito
bit the throat of beautiful woman
at Newport. The bite became hide
ously inflamed, defying all efforts OF
mistress and maid 10 conceal 1t. Then
the sight of a lovely old miniature
brooch framed in pearls suggested
happy thought and that night the
belle appeared with an inch-wide
band of black velvet about her wnils
throat, pinned in front with the MN
iature. And the effect was SO lovely
that this becoming little fad came
in at once, and has stayed all winter

Fill the WalloW.

The gerT-ladened hog wallow is
growing in disfavor every year. Many
people used to contend that it was nat
ural for the hog to seek the filthy wal
low and that such places should be
provided for him to satisfy this inclin-
alton. 1t was claimed that the primi-
tive hog was lover of filth and that
the present day animal cannot forget
his first love. While the animal may
have many Of the desires of the prim-
tive hog, he is very different Great
ure. The present day hog is the re-
suit of much careful breeding till he
is very unlike the primitive hog. He
has become accustomed to different
conditions and If he is exposed to con-
ditions like those to which the primi-
tive. hog was accustomed, he will be-
come infected with disease. The dis
ease ladened wallow is one of the ex-
posures he is unable to withstand. 1t
Is useless for the farmer to make an
attempt to fight disease when the wal
low In which the animal spends half
his time is filed with the germs of
every known disease. Fill up the wal
low.-Farmers' Home Journal.

Breed and AGE for Eggs.

AS regards egg production Of differ
emit breeds, 1t was found at the Ontario
experiment station, that thirteen Ply
mouth Rock hens laid 693 eggs. the
average cost per dozen being 6.02 cents
and during the same time an equal
number of Audalusians laid 1886 eggs
the cost per dozen being 5.34 cents.
In general hens over two years old
Director w. r. Graham points out, are
seldom good layers. 'Leghorns, Min
orcas, ETC., are sometimes good dur
ing their third and four years; but
generally speaking, the Rocks and such
fowl are of little or no use as layers
after the second year, being much in
clined to become excessively fat.
For summer egg production the
lighter breeds or late-hatched pullets
of the heavier breeds are best. Do not
expect a hen that has laid well all
winter to lay exceptionally well dur
ing the mmer."-American Cultiva-
tor.

Fright Makes One Tender.

when our grandmothers arranged
to have chicken for Sunday dinner
for the preacher" says The Eldorado
Republican, they picked out the big
gest and latest and toughest old hen
on the place Saturday afternoon, and
had the boys and dogs run her down.
A tough old hen that is chased all
over the place and frightened out Of
her life Is as tender as a spring lamb
when cooked. Fright makes any ami
NAL, bird or fowl tender, so the books
say, and 1t appears from this that our
grandmothers knew what they were
doing when they had the tough old
hens chased before killing. kansas
