Unequally Yoked. Farmers who work oxen know what that means and they know how unsatisfactory is tbe work done by a pair of oxen when une qually yoked. There is no way of getting them to pull in harmony so that each shall bear its own burden. In business affairs there are part ners sometimes who do not match well. One is a quick starter and the other slow and deliberate. So they move by jerks and jolts. The sooner they dissolve the part nership the better for both of them. Buta man and woman, unequal ly yoked for life, with no tact in adjusting the yoke, have a hard j road to travel. The farther they go, the more galling the yoke be comes. Out in Missouri a farmer from a rural district, where they say "dawg" and "hoss" and "yander" and believe in moon signs, married A city widow who was educated and refined. Husband and neighbors soon began to laugh at her on ac count of her city "stuck up" ways. She applied for a divorce and got it. If she had properly considered conditions first she would not have yoked up with a man totally diff*"" ent from her in all his tastes, habits and associations. A few days ago a marriage was annulled because a man who was a Protestant married a Catholic girl. He promised to be married by a Catholic priest, but after the cere mony was performed by a Protes tant he refused to have the second ceremony. He basely deceived her. The woman in that cas? should never have yielded to his persua sion to marry at all. She was weak and foolish and he was a de ceiver. Young people are going to keep np the habit of marrying and they are not going to adopt the plan of "trial marriages." In this state it is a life time partnership. Once the yoke is on, it has to ?tay there, whether it is easy or burdensome. If not adjusted and made easy it becomes heavier the longer the way is traveled. Here are some of the differences which should be considered in a bu siness way by young people. Church relations cause much trouble. A man and woman, with irreconcila ble church creeds and prejudices, should never tie up at the mar riage altar. They will never be broken in to pull together. Such a relation is bad for their chil dren. A man or woman claiming to be an artist and nothing else should never marry one totally opposite in habits and taste. The woman whose soul is attuned to heavenly har monies can never pull well with a clod hopper who knows only how to sow and reap and accumulate dollars. The girl brought up to do noth ing worth while is not prepared for taking charge of a farmer's home and the chickens, garden, milk cows and pigs. She would have to possess a fine sense of adaptibility to meet the require ments of such a change in her Ufe. So the final word to young peo ple is to study church, social, po litical and educational relations before they agree to slip the same yoke over their necks. Remember that yokes are made of tough, sea soned timber and it is impossible to bend them to suit the neck of the wearer. "Be ye not unequally yoked together." Had Left His Glasses. He stumbled up the steps and pushed open the door, says the Hew York American, and stood confronting his wife, who held a telegram in one hand. "Here's news," she said sternly, **that has been waiting for you since 1 o'clock." He braced himself against the ?at-rack. "Hie-I've left my glass es in town. Hie-." "Well, I see you have brought borne the contents." Almost Through. The preacher was eloquent, the congregation patient, and the dis course very long. A stranger enter ed and took a seat in a back pew. Presently he whispered to the man at his side, evidently one of the old members: "How long has he been preaching?" "Thirty or forty years, I think," answered the elderly man, "I don't know exactly." "I'll stay then," said the stranger. "He must be "nearly done." Corrected. A wealthy American girl was at tending a social function at a couu try house in England. "You American girls have not such healthy complexions as we liave," said an English duchess to the girl. *T always wonder vvhy our noblemen take a fancy to your .white faces. " "lt isn't our white faces that at tracts them," responded the Ameri can: "It's our greenbacks."-Judge. Error Due to Slip of Type. The following, which is repub lished word for word and letter for letter just a? it appeared in one of our exchanges, serves to show that type behaves itself unseemly when ope is most anxious for it to be cor rect: "Some of the various literary clubs of the city might devote one meeting a month to the use of dic tionary and the deriviation of some of the common words. The pro nunciation would also be an inter esting study. Many of our reading people do not know how to use a dictionary." GOOD NEWS. Many Edgefield Readers Have Heard Ic and Profited There by. "Good news travels fast," and the thousands of bad back sufferers in Edgefield are glad to learn where relief may be found. Many a lame, weak and aching back is bad no more, thanks to Doan's kidney pills. Our citizens are telling the good news of their experience' with the old Quaker remedy. Here is an ex ample worth reading: Mrs. C H Key, Wigfall street, Edgefield, S. C., says: "I suffered intensely from pains in my back and head and my eyes were also affected. Doan's kidney pills were finally called to my attention and were so highly recommended that I began their use. I can say in all earnestness that they did rae a world of good, relieving the trouble that was caused by my kidneys, in fact, I never knew of another remedy that acts so quickly and effectively. Doan's kidney pills did such gt>od work in my case that I consider it my duty to endorse them." For ?ale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

WAYS OF USttia MUTTON. lu small places during the cold weather mutton is hard tQ buy; but a few recipes will be, useful when the meat ls inor? plentiful". Shepherd Pie.-Take, a pound. of cold mutton, a pint of coid boiled po tatoes, one-half an onion grated, one or two cooked carrots; out the mut ton and potatoes into small pieces and put them with the onion and carrot into a <eep baking dish. Add a cup ful of stock or water, Bf.!% pepper and a tablespoonful of burier cut in bits. Pare and boil four medium-sized po tatoes, mash and add cup of cream, salt and pepper to taste, beat until light, then add" enough flour to make a soi* dough; roll out and cover the dish with the dough, mane a cross cut in the center to allow tie steam to es cape, and bake in a moderate oven one hour. A modern shepherd^ pie is made like the above with the addition of a few capers and a stalk or two of cel ery. Barbecued Mutton.-Make a sauce by melting two tablespoonfuls of but ter; to this add the juice of half a lemon, a quarter of a glass of cur rant jelly, one-quarted of a teaspoon of prepared mustard, one-half tea spoonful of salt, pepper to taste and a bit of grated orange peel. Reheat slices of mutton in this sauce and serve hot Do not cook after getting hot or it will toughen the meat. Mutton Left-Over.-Mix together the following ingredients: Two cups of cooked macaroni, three cupfuls of cold cooked mattoe, one-half cup of strained tomato, one teaspoonful of curry powder, one egg, one and a half tablespoonfuls of butter, salt and pep per to taste. Butter a deep pie plate or baking dish, make a mound of the mixture and cdver thickly with crumbs, well buttered; cover the pan and cook twenty minutes, then uncov er and brown. Remove to a hot plat ter and garnish with sprigs of parsley. Ooquettes are fine made from mut ton, using curry for flavoring or a lit tle tabasco and Worcestershire sauced HERE are two stones we may not dare to cast; The stone of stumbling in our brothertj way, The stone of Judgment at our brother"! past. We, who ourselves Ilk? sheep have gone astray. -Hamilton, PRACTICAL POINTS. During the extremely cold weather if the clothes pins are put into a drip ping pan and heated hot, the hanging out of the clothes will be made much more comfortable. Do not carry out a fuji basket, or all the pins. A second trip will more than pay by the com fort Always wrap linen that ls to lay any length of time, in blue paper. It will keep lt from turning yellow. Hair brushes, if carefully washed tn hot soda water and quickly -dried, will keep their freshness for years. A good housekeeper says If we wtU stir a tablespoonful of ^vinegar into the lard In which fritters, doughnuts or potatoes are fried, they will not soak fat A teaspoonful of salt or a small piece of gum camphor added to the oil in a lamp is said to improve the light, always providing the burner ls kept clean. To lessen the labor of ironing table linens, if they are wrung by hand the wrinkles are not so firmly set and will dry smooth. Eat apples. They are a tonic and an appetizer. They are rich in flavors and a valuable food adjunct If one would have a good complex? lon, it is necessary to kave plenty of fresh air while Bleeping and plenty of work to keep the mind busy. The only wrinkles then will be those made from laughter, and those are considered beautiful. Winter or summer one window in the sleeping room should be kept open, day and night One person can exhaust all the air In an ordinary bedroom In an hour. A well-ventilated bedroom and the sleeper's head entirely covered wi* h the bedclothes is no better than sleep ing with a closed window. Don't worry about taking cold. Fresh air ls one, of the best preven tives.
