The longer a man lives and the
more he learns, the stronger becomes
his conviction that ignorance is at the
bottom of nearly all the trouble in
the world. Eye shall know the truth,
and the truth shall make you free"
said the Geart Teacher. There is a
blessing in every truth, not only to
him who learns 1t, but to all with
whom he comes in contact. Those
who suffer most from ignorance never
know what is the matter with them.

The women of Los Angeles were
never courted as the men are counting
them now. Only a few women voted
in the primary last Saturday and
enough have registered to swing the
majority to either the socialists or the
republicans in the general election.
From this distance it looks as if the
women will split their vote about like
the men do, though the plea of the
socialists that they favored woman
suffrage while the republicans opposed
it in the referendum may have some
influence.

unualIant. but Effective.

In a breach of promise case, the
oarrister who held the brief for in
jured beauty, arranged that his fair
client should be so placed that her
charms should be well under the OBJ
servation of the jury. He began a
most pathetic appeal by directing
their attention to her beauty, and call
ing for justice upon the head of him
who could wound the heart and betray
the confidence of one so fair, conclud-
ing with a peroration of such pathos
as to melt the court to tears. The
counsel for the defendant then rose,
and after paying the lady the compli-
ment of admitting that it was i'm
possible not to assent to the encom-
iums lavished upon her face, he add
ed that nevertheless he felt bound to
ask the jury not to forget that she
wore a wooden leg. Then he sat
down. The important fact, of which
the fair plaintiffs counsel was I'M
aware, was presently established; and
the jury, feeling rather sheepish at
their tears, assessed damages at the
smallest amount.

WINTER CARE
FOR ANIMALS
Sudden Change From Pasture TO
Grain and Hay Feed Has Often
Been Cause OF Sickness
Among Stock
(By r. B. RUSHING0

| find from experience that It Is
most profitable and will cause as lit
tie shrinkage as possible in the milk
flow or loss of weight in the animals
interchanging from grass to grain and
hay, that such changes should be
gradual.
/ think at least ten days or two
weeks should be taken to shift the
animals from their fall quarters of
grass to winter quarters of grain and
hay. | too often see animals out in
the pasture until very late in the fall
and receive very little attention If any
till some stormy time comes and then
fed lots of feed which is pitched to
them any way and usually the conse-
quence is some sick, and perhaps dead
stock. This is not profitable.
Very often during the season when
the animals are to be changed the
pasture is rather short and sometimes
tough, while if the fall rains have
been plentiful. the grass may be in
fairly good condition but If the ami
mails are allowed access to rack full
of good sweet hay they will begin eat
ing the hay even while the pasture
is quite good.
In this way the animals will become
accustomed to the change gradually
and there will be no danger when put
on dry feed.
I think one of the best feeds TO be
gwen Immediately after removing
from pasture is some kind Of roots,
turnips or beets which may be fed at
this season of the year to the best
advantage and will assist the animals
In getting to the corn and hay.
In feeding forage at this season of
the year it should be of the very best
quality as the animals must be

OLD WEDDING KNIVES
FEW SPECIMENS LEFT OF ONCE
COMMON BRIDAL GIFT.
Some Generations Ago They Were
Considered an indispensable Part
of he Wedding Costume
Origin of Custom Lost.

OF the many dainty and curious rel
les belonging to old wedding customs
| none is more interesting and beautiful
in themselves than the once indispen-
sable bride knives, specimens of which
still linger here and there among the
cabinets of old country houses.
Or you may discover, says writer
pair OF these ancient posy knives, in
their delicate, faded cases, hiding be
hind the glass in some sleepy, provin-
cial museum.
You scarcely realize as you examine
them that without her wedding knives
duly attached to her girdle the mediae
val and seventeenth century bride
would hardly have considered herself
dressed. So completely a part OF the
marriage costume were they and so
| important an item Of the ritual of the
ceremony that they once came to be
considered almost as necessary to an
orthodox marriage as the veil and the
ring itself. The old plays TEEN with
| illusions to them.
And who can forget the figure Of
Juliet, wearing her wedding knives.
as she stands in tragic anguish in the
Friar's cell, and again when she Is
| about to take the sleeping potion.
Shakespeare in the old quarto of 1897
made special reference to his heroine
wearing them.
OF the hundred and one delicate tri-
| fles Of the ancient wedding toilet few
were invested with more tender fam
cies or mystic symbolism than these
knives; there was first the idea of the
severing of the knot of love and then
the more practical suggested emblem
of good housewifery and domestic pol
| icy.
They were not worn in England
alone, but all over Europe wedding
knives formed part of the brides reg
ular accoutrements. The highest in
vention was often brought to bear upon
their metal, brocade and shagreen
cases and sheaths. In the old Flemish
pictures they may be seen hanging
from the ladies' girdles beside the
UOuhAus SCISSOlS anu OluSL
articles of the new wife.
Very beautiful indeed are some of
the quaint old blades and handles, and
all were of superior quality and artis-
| tic ornament. AS the rank of the
bride rose so they became more elabo-
rately chased, and sometimes they
were jeweled to a standard OF immense
value. 1t is very curious to learn that
many of the finest English specimens
emanated even in those remote days
from Sheffield.
The precise origin Of the custom of
wearing wedding knives is lost in OBJ
security, but their declines from favor
semes to have set in after the reign of
William and Mary. In the time of Anne
and the early Georges the custom was
already obsolete and archaic. There
is something almost mysterious in the
way in which these beautiful little
mementos have completely vanished
from modern usage, disappearing al
most concurrently with the Inflated
Stuarts.
