OF all the people who live at the Gen


ennial hotels, says q letter writer,


hink tho newly married couples


Philadelphia is full Of them, by the way


-are the only ones who are thoroughly


sontented and happy. II makes no diff


hrence to them whether the potatoes


re watery, the meats dry, or tho SOUP


elin; and they don't care pin whether


lBople talk to them or not. They live


y little world OF their own, and for q


tme-what pity that it's 80 short q


Swe-they need no conversation but


their own, have no thought but for each


dher. We have all sorts of newly mar


red couples here now, but notwith-


31s1ing the many various stations in
NE Which they occupy. and the differ
ent parts of the country from which
they come, they all act wonderfully
alike. They all have certain marks
about them which can be Immediately
detected by even an Impractical eye.


In the first place, it is noticeable that
they all try to act as if being married


was an old story to them, and still for


the life of them they can't help taking
each others hands every i've inmates.
Among other things it is remarkable
that the young men, on the old piinci-
pie that "a fellow can't wed every day, +"
are very extravagant with their money.
They are SO evidently against the wishes
Of the prudent little helpmates. An
other thing which l have noticed is that
the brides nearly all wear new watch
chains, the young husbands, especially
those from the West, are very particular
about their gloves, and even upon the
warmest and most oppressive day they
carry heavy shawl, in case such Gov
ering should be needed by the dear
woman they have sworn to protect.
The patronizing mir of ownership which
the young men assume is truly remark
able, while their attempts to answer
the many questions asked by their
wives are sometimes very amusing. One
incident will illustrate this: A few days
ago in the Main building a bright look
ing young Western farmer and an inno-
cent faced little woman who had evi-
IDENTIFY just become his wife, approached
The music stand. At the same moment
The band begun to play the opening pas
sage of "The Waking of the Lion"
The little bride listened to the music
'or moment, and then looking conf
lently up into the face Of her lord and
master, she pressed hisarm and Whisper
I'd: "What piece are they playing,
Jharley9" For a moment Charley was
but lie had just become hus-
,and, and evidently seeing the impor-
ance of maintaining the dignity of the
position, he quietly drew that confiding
title woman away from the stand, say
ng: "Oh, it's not piece at all; they
re just tuning up like" And of course
he believed him.

The deeper the sorrow the less tongue
hath it.


As if you could kill time without in.
juring eternity.


It is miserable state of mind to have
few to desire and many things to fear.


He shall be immortal who iveth till
he be stoned by one without fault.


Moaesty is to merit as shades to fig.
ures in picture, giving it strength and
beauty.


As words can never be recalled, speak
only such words as you never wish to re-
call.


Signs are small measurable things, but
interpretations are illimitable.


Learning without thought is labor
lost; thought without learning is peril
GUS.


All gaming, since it implies desire to
profit at another's expense. involves a
breach of the tenth commandment.


Distrust is the death of the soul, be-
lief is it's life. The just shall live by
faith. Intilelity is the abandonment Of
life, a suicide of the spirit.


Energy will do anything that can be
done in this world; and no talents, no
circumstances, no opportunities, will
make two-legged animal man without
it.


Limit your wants; the must is hard,
and yet solely by this must can we show
how it is with us in our inner man. To
live according to caprice requires no pc
culiar powers.


Children must have love inside the
house and fresh air and good play, and
some good companionship outside
otherwise young life runs the greatest
danger in the world of whitening, or
growing stunted, or, at best, prematurely
old and turned inward on itself.


The habit of exaggeration, like dram
drinking, becomes a slavish necessity,
and they who practice it pass their lives
in kind of mental telescope, through
whose magnifying medium they look
upon themselves and everything around
them.


A childhood passed with due mixture
of rational indulgence, under fond and
wise parents, diffuses over the whole of
life a feeling of calm pleasure and, in
extreme old age, is the very last remem-
brance which time can erase from the
mind of man.

Hans Christian Andersen used to tell
a story about damsel who came to the
gate Of q palace, weary, wet and be-
draggled, but claiming to be princess.
The queen to test the matter put a pea
ON the floor of the beadstead, covered it
with twelve mattresses, and placed
twenty-four beds of elder down, more or
less, over themattresses. Inthisluxurious
couch The princess was put to repose, and
when she was asked in the morning how
she had slept she cried out that she was
all black and blue, and could not rest at
al on account of some hard substance in
the bed. Then they knew, from her
extreme delicacy and sepsitiv ness, that
she was a real princess.

LOOKING THE ACCOUNT IN THE FACE.


In a well-considered editorial the Boston
Post offers the following fitting suggestions:
These are peculiarly favorable times for con-
slderstion. Leisure is given the people in
abundance by the dullness of business in
all its branches to study the meaning and
morals of the situation. How many pause
to reflect on the astonishing fact that for the
eleven years now closing federal taxation
has aggregated, in currency, over 81 $780,
0O0, 1000? and that the aggregate of local
taxation additional has been over S3,-
600 900 900? making for the total tax
alton more than seven and half thousand
millions OF dollars. And in the face of this
fact, mountainous as it is in the contempla-
ton, the governmect demands of the people
$21 900 900 more in taxes for the next year
than for the last. With four aud a half
thousand millions OF dollars wruDg from the
people by the federal government since 1865.
onght not great deal more than three or
four hundred millions to have come off OF
the public debt? Yet MT. Boutwell, to this
day actually plumes himself on his accom-
plishments in the way Of reduction
during the five years he pre-
occupied his mind with buying bonds, SELL
ing gold, fooling with syndicates, and NOV
ing the crops. Is it not truth more clearly
perceptible now than ever, that the first
and most urgent duty of the government
when we came out of destructive war was
to retrench expenses and get in operation a
fiscal system that would have put the debt
in the easiest and most expeditions way of
liquidation by restoring soundness to the
currency, and therefore stability, economy
and honesty to all business and trade trans
actionsf In place of that, Mr.. Boutwell,

MoLAssEs FOR FATENlNG SrocK w,


heard II years ago, but a paragraph il


one of the agricultural papers just brings


it to mind that molasses is claimed to be
an excellent material for fattening stock


Very likely too much is claimed for its
merits, but, under certain circumstances
we have no doubt that it pays to feed ii


in small quantities When a creature
which has no organic disease, but which
from neglect, short keeping, or a very
quality of food, has become very thin in
flesh, little molasses fed to it daily may
prove of great benefit. Moasses is also
y useful article of diet when it is desira.
BILE to fatten the animals as soon as pos
sible.


That any one should seriously pro-
pose to feed molasses to horses, cows,
sheep or hogs, may seem ridiculous at
first sight, but it is founded upon philo.
suphical principle. has been proved b,
actual trial, and found to be correct
Some chemists have believed that starchy
food is converted into sugar by the stom
ach, before it is used to nourish the
body; and it is a well known fact that
pure sugar will speedily fatten animals
who are fed upou it. But Tor feeding to
farm stock, molasses is to be preferred
to sugar, because it is cheaper, and in
better shape to be used without waste.
Not only will benefit be derived directly
from the sattening properties Of the mo.
lasses, but it will also improve the appe-
tite, and cause the amin ais to which it is
fed, to eat more food than they otherwise |
would It it easily .ligested, assimilated
rapidly, and consequently shows its ef |
fects very soon. One writer on this sub |
ject has said that if molasses is fed to a
poor horse, be will show . decided
change Of condition in few days. 1t is
said that too much sweet Of any kind fed
to animals, will prevelt their breeding
readily. Cows, which it is desired should
raise calves, should not have more than
o pint of molasses per day. but to those
which are being fattened, three pints may
be given with good results. Probably
the best way to feed it is to cut hay or
clean straw, pour ona little boiling water
in order to make it partially soft by the
steaming; then thoroughly mix it with
the molasses diluted with water. Care
should be taken to use no more water
thau the hay or the straw will readily |
absorb. For hogs molasses may be mix
ed directly with their food, and it is said
to produce wonderful results. For feed
ing to stock, there is no use in obtaining
nice or expensive article Of molssse
A low grade, if clean and sweet, as some
of the lower grades are, will answer ev
cry purpose, and be much moro p!ofta-
ble than any high priced brand. A coarse
sorghum brand may be used.

FIVE per cent, and perhaps ten, can
be added to the amount Of milk obtained
from the COWS Of this country, if the
following rules are einexorably followed:
1. Never hurry COWS in driving them to

even intervals as possible. Half past
five in the morning and six at night are
very good hours. 8. Be especially ten
der to the COWS at milking times. 4.
When seated draw the milk as rapidly

A TKRRIRLH SITUATIoN.-A farmer,
Horace Miner, was chopping in the
woods near Waymart, ten miles from
Honesdale. At noon his wife carried
his dinner to him. He was engaged in
telling tree when she arrived at the
spot, and she stood near waiting for him
to get through. She had in her arms .
child few months old. The tree in
falling lurched toward Mrs. Miner, and
before she could get out of the way it
came crashing upon her, one of the
largest branches striking her, and pin
ming both her arms and her child to the
earth. Miner ran to the spot. He
could not see his child, but his wife was
lying with her face turned up and gasp
ing in death. Miner at once set to work
to extricate his wife and child from that
terrible position. The branch of the
tree lay across Mrs. Miner, and it was
evident the child lay beneath the mother.
The husband, to extricate the wife and
child, was compelled to cut away the
branch, which was seven inches through,
and before he had finished his task he
saw his wife die before his eyes. He
removed her body from beneath the
tree and found his child crushed to
death, having been crushed deep into
the ground. The husband, almost fran
tic, took both bodies in his arms and
carried them a mile through the woods
to his home.-Port Jervis G,lsstts.

ga new way to pay old debts" is to
claim that the money was sent In let

of idiots is very large this year, if all
the men who sent large sums of money
in unregistered letters really did send
them. It is incredible that men will
continue to risk money in letters which
cannot be tracked" any more than you
can track fish in the water, while the
Government offers a perfectly safe
means of transmittal by money order
to all important offices, and compare
lively safe means by register to all
offices. Twenty-Five cents is the largest
fee for a money order. You may send
$50 for 10 cents, and it Is practically
impossible for the money to miscarry.
You may register letter to any Office
in the United States or Canada, and to
nearly all foreign countries, for fee of
10 cents in addition to the regular post
age. Registered letters are not sent in
the regular mails, but pass from hand
to hand of postal clerks or route agents.
The person taking your registered let
ter gives you q receipt for it, and the
law requires every person into whose
hands it passes to produce either the
letter itself or receipt for it. 1t is not
absolutely safe, like money order, but
safe beyond any other contingency than
accident or crime. In the case of the
money order, safety goes beyond this.
If a money order is even stolen the
thief cannot collect the money, because
he cannot identify himself as the drawee,

formation which is sent confdentially
to the postmaster in a separate letter
