 First. it Is not the proper way that cotton should be put mp, for it gives the parties through whose hands it passes the chance to steal some from each hale, namely. the weigher al our cotton wards who gets one bale for the weighing of every six hundred bales which equals twenty-thousand ia 12.uo000o bale crop.
 And then it goes on to the compress where they can steal enough to pay all expenses and that amounts to one hundred thousand or more bales and the old-time street buyer took equally as much in samples, which is called

Hen Talk.

The poultry business has always hepn looked upon as hard times business by many thousands of peo- pie When times are good and money k plentiful the poultry business is looked upon by many as a "pin.money affair, but when hard times threaten or are at hand. when thousands o' people are daily being thrown out e' a job, then fl is thai they begin to think of taking ap poultry,
 or all classes the poultry man has the least to fear from hard times. The poultry business has never been on q better footing than t is now | is the experience Of all the years. the lean years financially are the years when the poultry business grows. This Is because, when men and women are brought face to face with Inc proha biiity of losing their positions, they besin to lock around for some way in which to invest their savings so that r will bring in profitable income should the worst happen. and they are thrown out of employment No hust ness can be started en se small eapl- tai as poultry. and yield q livelihood for those who follow it
 II takes less capital 10 gst 2 start in the poultry business, and get il 10 Yield an income for. living expenses. than any other business know of. without having previous experience. Where they are content to start at the bottom or in small way. and gfow in the business. g3inins experience d. they grow. and nrofting by this eXpe- rienee. and with due attention given 10 their business. they will rarely find it failure.
 PeHlrXmen who have stock to seil can find buyers now mere readily than would he possible if every one were working and receiving good wages.
 The a4eFage farmer ts in position to gef staHtaa in fae poultry business more cheanly than anyone else. IS he has plenty os ground and aftentimes house room that Is id5e that nigh, just as well be making him money.
 Statistics show that the farmer who always keeps poultry and stses any attention ta t It the end of the year has a smaller store account than the farmer who does not.

Facade Of Saint Bernardino's oratory
AZ peru0ia

Francis he exercised an extraordinary
power over the minds of men in the
Middle Ages by the mere example of
pure living and beauty of character,
but perhaps his power lay a little
more in preaching and in stirring men
to action than that of the saint of
Assist, whose influence was essen
italy peaceful. His whole life was a
struggle for light in a very dark age.
He was full of unselfshness and char
ity, and it is said that he started the
first Monte di Pieta or pawnshop,
which still exists at Perugia.
The facade of the oratory is the
work of a Florentine sculptor, Agos-
tinO Ducci, and is an interesting work
of art. 1t is built of the pink colored
marble of the country, decorated with
terra Gotta figures and white marble
garlands.
The saint is represented in the cen
ter, holding a square tablet with the
initials of Christ, surrounded by an
gels playing different instruments.
His miracles are represented in
plaques underneath, while his virtues
are shown by means of six figures,
which stand for Humility, Mercy, Pur-
ity, Religion, Patience and Holiness.
The facade is elabOrately decorated,
and it is considered a masterpiece of
singular beauty. 1t is not clear why
this particular spot was chosen on
which to build the oratory, but prob
ably the reason was its close prOximi-
ty to the Convent of St Francis of
PratO, where the saint lived while at
Perugia
There is something touching in the
associations of the Oratory of st.
BernardinO, and the thought of mar
ring its beauty in any way seems
nothing short of desecratiOn. But the
spirit of the present day is distinctly
material A we'll paying hotel is con-
sidered far better than the unob-
stgucted view of a celebrated facade,
and the cult of preserving the sur
rOundings of works of art seems grad
ually disappearing in Italy

German Marzipan.

One pound sweet almonds, two
ounces bitter almonds, blanched and
chopped fine. Add one pound pow
dered sugar and two tablespoons of
rose water, just enough to mOisten the
ingredients so they may be kneaded
by hand. Form the mass into a ball
and let stand Is minutes or so. Cut
slices from the ball on a board
sprinkled Wen with powdered sugar.
Sift sugar over rolling pin and roll
slices to about One-quarter inch thick.
Cut in fancy shapes, hearts, diamonds,
etc. Cut strips from plain sheet and
fasten to edge of shapes like tart
crusts, with rose water, crimping them
with a fork.
Sprinkle sheets of paper with sugar,
lay on a board and bake the cakes on
this in moderate oven till a light
brown. Fill them while hot with the
following mixture, prepared before
hand: One and One-half pounds pow
dered sugar, juice of a large lemon,
two tablespoons 'rOsewater; stir slowly
a long time, till it looks quite clear.
If it gets too hard add more rosewater.
After filling the cakes do not remove
from the board till they are cold.

Washing and Ironing Wisdom.

Put clOtheSpins in a small basket
that has a hook made of wire on the
handle Slip the hook over the line
and push the basket along as you hang
the clothes.
Prevent scorching ironing sheet by
tacking a piece of asbestos paper
about u inches square on end of board
where the iron is set The paper will
not burn and it saves the sheet.
On ironing day fold the sheets four
times and lay sn Doth on the kitchen
or laundry table, then fold the table
cloths and place On sheets, then pillow
slips, towels, napkins, handkerchiefs,
etc. Then iron each piece as you come
to it, and by the time you get to the
sheets they will need but little more
ironing. The work can be done much
quicker and does not require so many
irons, thereby saving footsteps.

be bought in large quantities at a say
ing, for they will not spoil
Perishable things, like cOrnmeal,
