MARRIAGE WITHOUT MENDELSSOHN
A Word For the (ilrl Wlio CbootM a
Quiet Wedding.
There is something to be snitl in fnvor
of the quiet wedding, where the
bride agrees to dispense with "fuss and
feathers," u long cortege of bridesmaids,
wlio must all be provided with
uiore or less expensive gifts, and will
be quietly married without thnt grand
spoctnculnr entry to the church, and
the more gorgeous recessional to the
strains of the weddlnir march. What
a saving of the pouips ami costly vanities
of this world.
It. may be natural to a girl to wish
to have n tine wedding and to plan
each detail of costuming for herself
anil her bridesmaids, but It Is a wearyIns
process for the family who have
to attend to all the minutiae of a bis
church wedding and reception at the
house. It is expensive, the way It is
done now.
The bride-elect has dttle time or
though to bestow upon the stop she is
taking in life, llor mlml is occupied
Willi her trousseau, wedding presents
and I lie vexing question of minor arrangements
for the bridal party on
the great day. llor dressmaker, milli,ner
and tailor till up her hours with
appointments, and leave her uo moment
for repose or reflection.
The bridegroom-elect is anything but
ji happy man, with the multiplicity of
duties which are thrust upon him. lie
is dancing attendance early and late,
and yet seems somehow to tie a eipher
ju the grand pageant of the fashionable
ehureh wedding.
If the parents of the brhle give their
sanction for a quiet ceremony there is
iinuch to he said in favor of a "marriage
without Mendelssohn," solemnji'/.od
without the eurious eyes (if the
(gaping crowd. Witnesses, of course,
there must be. but the wedding can be
quiet, a ceremony much more welcome
to some brides and bridegrooms than
{the ostentatious functionsaudcrowded
church and house where a big wedding
Is "on."
A return to simplicity Is a good
thing. The great world has but a
passing Interest in a private wedding.
Why should ail society be culled upon
to witness the solemnisation? Whore
hieonu'S are small, ami tlie expenses
of a large wedding are great, It is certainly
more sensible to take the quiet
way, to renounce the musical accompaniments,
the pageant of tnalds of
honor and flower girls, the crowd of
guests Invited and uninvited, the
amart breakfast, expensive flowers,
elaborate toilets, cards and carriages,
and with parental consent to essay the
experiment which may he called "marriage
without Mendelssohn." ? Philadelphia

Tlu? Ciirn of tho Kj'ru.
The beauties of old. Helen of Troy
and Cleopatra notably, were famous
for the beauty of their eyes, and no
doubt they devoted much time to their
care. Some beauties ? nowadays, but
many a girl who has a pretty eye could
enhance its attractiveness by a little
care. Long, sweeping eyelashes have
been admired by poets and lovers
from time immemorial, and there is
certainly something very beautiful and
seductive iu the long eyelash sweeping
down on a velvet cheek. Not only
does it add to the expression, but It is
a greater safeguard to the eye from
dust and dangerous living particles,
if a little vaseline or olive oil be put
upon the laslies each night the growth
will be aided very much.
And then about the eyebrow. Kyebrows
differ with every individual,
but if nature has not been careful to
provKlo one with those of perfect form
much can be done to nelp matters.
The eyebrow should extend slightly
below the orifice of the eye at each
* end. Toward the temple it should terminate
in n mere line, and it should
be slightly broader at the other end.
Upon the necull.ir arch anil the
Ini m!iIi c ' 'i- ? ;. ,oivou much depends.
Deiicttie features require a delicate
eyebrow, while a face that is strong
in character requires a bolder one.
Never pull hairs out of the brow, hut
rather try. by careful brushing, to
train them to grow as you wish. If
you will try brushing your eyebrows
In different directions you will see just
how the hair should grow in order to
suit your eye best, and then you should
be careful always to brush It the same
way. A very little oil 111:1 v l>e used
hut be careful not to use It often, or It
may make tliein grow bushy.
The ('n)mtilo Woman.
The capable woman is Just as likely
to develop to perfection in the backwoods
a< anywhere else. Environment
has not very much to do with
producing her. Like the poet she Is
born and not made. There Is no college
or other institution of learning
which cm turn her out to order.
* ?
The capable woman knows just the
right thing to do in any emergency
which may confront her. and she does
it. She has confidence in herself. She
does not think it necessary to run
among her friends and ask everybody's
advice before she does as she
has a mind to do.
She doc: n't rend l'or the doctor every ,
| ^ tin.' . an ache or bad feeling
MW t
8be doesn't get frightened orery time
llbe hears a noise she cannot account
tor. She and linds out what the
nolpe originated from. She does not
throw cold water on her family. She
encourages effort, she assists ever;.enterprise
with her well-balanced
strength, and she inspires all those
who come within her influence.
She knows how to do things. If
the house should catch lire she would
try her best to put out the flames hefore
she rushed into the street, and so
give the lire a chance to develop
strength and destructiveness. If anybody
In her vicinity should break a
limb or cut an artery she wouldn't
scream or faint away, but she would
render such assistance as lay hi her
power until medical aid could bo procured.?Table

Wet-Weather Costumes.
Rainy-weather gowns now require a
good deal of attention, although there
has never been a season for years
when women invested in mackintoshes
to the extent they have this season.
I probably because the in nek In toshes arc
j smarter garments than they were,
being made on the lines of the long
coats. Some women never wear a
mackintosh, and prefer instend to have
it i-usiuiiH' inicuueii solely Tor liaU
wont her. A good model for such n
gown as this is made of the rough
cheviot, and has a close-fitting skirt
with an attached flounce short enough
to clear the ground. The waist is in
blouse shape, with two wide pleats,
and a very narrow waistcoat of white
cloth or. hotter still, red cloth, with
small gold buttons. This waist is
really a jacket, and is intended to be
worn over the dress waist. The hat Is
of the same material as the gown,
with long stiff feather that canuot be
injured by wind or weather.
The long cloaks tire most graceful
this season, and much fuller than they
were. They all lit well over the shoulders,
hut have considerable flare, and
there is always some trimming around
the shoulders, either n capuchin hood
or two or three capes that cover the
shoulders well In front the cloak is
fastened at the throat, generally with
some pretty clasp, and there are rovers
of velvet or fur and a turned-down collar
of the same material.?Harper's
Bazar.

It Is the correct thing to be sensible
this winter. Stout-soled shoes and
i garments suited to the climate's ticklei

No woman who has sense washes
her face, neck or wrists just before

If you want to wrinkle your fate
prematurely, empurple your Hps, miden

Never take a full bath before going
out. Never "sponge off" before going
to any function when the temperature
Is at zero. Health and beauty protest
alike.
Ilpfore entering the cold air rub the

Choice of Jewelry,
Every well-dressed woiran now
makes quite e study of suitable Jewelry
to wear with certain pown . There
is so much color tit the dainty neck
chains, safety pin brooches, etc.. that
lay require careful selecting. If the
brown-eyed woman wears amber or
pink coral, let all the Items of jewelry
correspond: the sante with the blueeyed
woman who deepens the color of
her eyes with blue stones. But do not
wear an amber chain with a turquoise
brooch or n blue ncckclinln with a pink
bangle, ete. Keep t?> tbe color of one
stone, even to the tiny pins that secure
the loco jabot tit your throat.
Pink coral Is extremely fashionable
just now as well as expensive. In the
language of precious stones it is supposed
to guard against danger and
evil. Strings of coral will be much
worn as watch and lorgnette chains. J

Stir tho Soli.
At a recent Farmers' Institute in
Maine, Professor <1. M. Cowell, of the
University of Maine, began by saying
that tlie general opinion had gone
abroad that the soil of the State of
Maine was uot fertile or productive,
but tho chemist bad proved that
this was not the ease by analysis of
the soil from various average Maine
farms, and in every case it had been
found to contain enough of the essential
plant foods to product? maximum
crops for an almost unlimited number
of years; the reason why good crops
were not produced lay in the fact that
these ingredients were in such composition
that while the chemist could
? ^ ii i m" pin Hi was unable to
?li> so; tlio fanner must, therefore, till
tlu? soil In such a manner that these
plant foods would he available to the
plant; this must be done by turning
the sell and allowing the air to circulate
freely through it. The same thing
might lie said of many of the worn oui
farms elsewhere in New Knglund, but
in many there is need for returning to
the soil a supply of organic mutter,
which was abundant when the land
was newly cleared. This, by Its decay
in the soil, not only adds fertility, hut
makes it more porous that air may
penetrate Into it, and helps to make
available the mineral elements in it.
Where the farm is remote from large
cities and not much stock is kept, the
easiest and cheapest way to obtain the
organic matter is to grow green crops
to plow under. For this purpose clover
stands at the head, where it will
grow, hat peas, buckwheat, rye and
other green crops may be used.
Fiitt-t'liuitnil Trees.
Where one can oversee the digging
and transplanting of frui: trees in the
fall there is Ic- * likelihood of their
being set bark by the change. It is
a crying shame in many parts of the
country to see the utter indifference
nrltl. ...I.I ? --
...... .. nu n nurs ryi.ioa take up trees
sold to farmers and ship them to their
destination in a condition that will
cause total or partial failure. The only
way to make them more careful is to
have inserted in the purchasing contracts
a clause requiring the nurseryman
to make good any trees that die
from exposure of roots or poot
packing when shipped. There are
plenty v%*ho will tell you tint t it
does not hurt young trees to be dug up
in the late fall, ami even if the roots
are disturbed it matters little. That
sort of ?:-li: ha Just a little grain of
truth in it. It dm s not linrt the young
trees to he disturbed nearly ns ntucli
as it does old ones; nor docs it hurt
them so much in late fall when the
roots are frozen; but hurt them it does,
and it will put any tree back from one
to two seasons.
xou ran transplant a large, fnU
growing tree without. checking Its development
In on.- way only, ::n?l that is
l?y digging up an cnonnous hall if
frozen earth with the roots. Tho hi-.;
anil small roots must not bo disturbed,
and tho bail of eifth must l?e kept
closely clinging to them. If this Is
done with great care gigantic eltns.
<oks ami maples ran be transplanted
without musing them any apparent io.jury.
A knowledge of this should
help us in tir? matter of transplanting ;
fruit trees. We should follow exactly
tho saute directions. I have time ami
again transplanted young trees from
the nursery in this way, and they
have absolutely not lost a month'*
growth. Alongside of them I have
planted other stock that has been
shipped in the ordinary way, where
tho roots had been disturbed, although
there was an apology for a ball of
earth wrapped around them. The.
comparative results In the growth
were such as to convince me that there
is only one true and successful way
to transplant young and old trees. Dig
them UD In tha fall of tha vear wbeo
| the grottnd is solid. and leave a ball to
their roots equal in diameter to their
longest roots. If removed carefully
with tills ball of earth unbroken, and
planted immediately, they will lose
nothing In their next season's growth*

Walk* and Driven Through Lavnn.
Walks and subsidiary drives must lie
provided where people want to walk
or where they expect to drive. Neither
is artistic in Itself. livery foot^of
walk or drive is a trouble, au expense
and usually a* distinct detraction froui
the artistic beauty of the place. They
should, then, lie designed to fit the
actual demands of tratiie about the
place. The most practicable thing is
often to await the most explicit call
for a walk. When a path begins to
appear through the grass, the need of
a walk is manifest and its general direction
pretty accurately indicated.
Gentle curves are better tlmn
straight lines for walks, except upon
small places or in a geometrical plan.

1'ccillnK lions In 'Winter.
It is so easy, comparatively, to have. J
hens lay in winter, ttiat it is an inexcusable
waste and had management
not to have them lay. To have plenty
ot fresh eggs upon our own table is a j
consideration ilint is worthy of all the
effort that is required to stimulate the
liens to lay; hut the protit on the eggs
we may have to sell in winter is far
greater than the profit we derive from
anything else that is produced on tin
farm. It is unnecessary to say anything
about warmth in this connection,
for we all know that without
warmth, we cannot "get eggs. It is i
equally unnecessary to mention the necessity
of exercise or to mention the
fact that plenty of litter with grain
scattered through it is the proper
means for inducing liens to exercise.
Sonic other features of the business,
however, may profitably receive notice.
If we expect the highest success in
winter egg production, wo nnmt f..o.i .?
variety. When the thermometer Is
low, we should feed plenty of whole
corn at night. Warm water twice n
day. in cold weather, is very beneficial.
In very cold or stormy weather the
fowls should ho kept Indoors. The
practice of feeding corn all the time?
which Is common on the farm?Is unwise.
Corn Is not an egg producer.
It is a fat former, and for the production
of eggs, nitrogenous foods are
used. Wheat is a splendid food of tli's
character, and It may be fed from
January to December, with excellent
icsults, a statement that cannot be
made as to corn. Especially Is much
corn harmful to the large, comparatively
inactive breeds. The small
breeds, whleli are always active, can
manage a steady corn diet better. It
must always be remembered that a
confined hen cannot he fed large
quantities of corn as safely as can one
that is on the range. Yarded fowls
can be kept successfully the entire
year without a grain of corn, although
as already said, corn at night in cold
weal her is excellent feed. The yolk
of the egg of the yarded fowls is not
is yellow as that of the eggs of tha
fowls that are on the range. The
r.ason of this, is the lack of green
.cull iiihj coloring matter. Yellow corn
will give the higher eolor, but it Is
:; >t advisable i<> feeil It in sutlleicnt
<iuantities 1 o accomplish the purpose
t-specially as the average oonsunjer
will i>? satisfied with n lighter colored
yolk, if the egg is fresh. In the construction
of houses, it may be said In
this connection, provision should be
made for the admission of plenty of
sunshine in winter.?Horatio Wood, in

Pit. T. C. MENDEXHALL.
President of the Worcester
Polytechnic Institute and a
member of the' Mnssncliu-1
setts Highway Commission, recently
delivered an undress before the Automobile
Club of America on the policy
now pursued by the Old lday State in
regard to roads, lie said that for the
last six or eight years Massachusetts
had spent more money than any other
State in the Union on her roads. For
this new system the people were indebted
largely to the wheelmen of the
State. The bicycle had thus done a
public service.
The topography of Massachusetts is
different from that of New York and
New Jersey, and the supply of material
is not the same. The general plan
that is now being followed is to construct
in the host possible manner a
complete system of roads throughout
the Commonwealth. This does not
moan the reconstruction of all existing
roails. Only about ten per cent,
of the roads are to be rebuilt. This
is about the same percentage as is
maintained l?y the National Government
in France. Not counting city
streets, Massachusetts lias about twenty
thousand miles of roads. Ilenco
only two thousand miles will be included
in the new scheme. These,
| however, will be judiciously distributed
over the State, so that there
will scarcely be a farm or corner of
the State which will not be within two
or three or four, or. at most, live miles
of this great system of State highways.
It is expected that the local
roads connecting these more remote
localities with the great system will be
improved, and. in fact, many of lliem
have already be n improved and eon|
neeied with the uuiin system by the
local people.
Thus far nearly throe hundred miles
of road have been built, at an average
I cost slightly exceeding ?lo.0oo a mile,
j Hut this will probably be reduced a
j trille ere long. An nnuual appropriation
of J?r>tM),OOrt enables the Commission
to builil about tlfty miles a year.
Dr. Mcmlcnhnll said that if .<1,0<>0,000
was asked for the Legislature would
probably give it. but tlie Commission
j was satisfied with less. It should be
| remarked that, although the counties
repay one-fourth of the cost, the money
is provided at first by the State, and
spent tinder the direction of the State
Commissioners, who nre three in number.
The work Is done in such a way
that the roads will he as good twenty,
thirty and forty years lienee as to

We pay great attention to the removal
of water, which is the great
curse of the public road, as everybody
knows, doing a great deal of drainage,
side drainage, using telfovd ft great
deal and putting down drain pipes on
both sides; in fact, about half of the
$10,000 per mile that. 1 speak of is

is not visible, so that the surface part
which people mostly see. and which
they only see. represents about $.~tH)0
or $(5000 of tin? total $10,000 which Is
spent. We put more stone upon our
roads than Is the practice of some
other States. Our standard road is
six to eight Inches of stone after it is
rolled.
We put the stone down In three different
sizes, in three layers, which is
a practice much condemned by some
road builders, but highly approved of
l?y us after considerable experience in
both systems, and each course is rolled
very thoroughly by a ten-ton or twelvc|
ton roller as it is put down, so iu the
end wo have a solid pack of six or
eight Inches In thickness, and, If necessary,
with telford six or eight inches
underneath. Our masonry work In
bridges and culverts is as good as can
he made. Our system is expensive
l?ecause we purposely make it so. We
tlnd it Is not wise for the State of Massachusetts
to build roads that will
have to he repaired a very great deal
within a few years.

TUK DAIKY COW.
Professor \V. J. Spillman, of tt.e
Washington Agricultural experiment
Station, recently talked on "The Dairy
Cow and ller Food." Professor Spllltnnn
lias given iuucli study to the
points whieh indiente a good dairy
cow and is acquiring a reputation as
tin accurate judge. lie said if he were
picking the good dairy cows out of a,
herd he would see lirst how luuch eaebi
cow can cat. The profitable cow must
be a big eater. Don't take the cow
with a pinched nose, because that Indicates
a delicate constitution. The
cows selected should have :larin<r
nostrils, big mouths and strong Jaws.
If tlio cow is a big cat or and t. gooC
milch cow slic will have a great afr
domlnal capacity- be deep throrgh til*,
body, wide also. A long body is in1
dicative of stamina. The next thing f>
tind out is whether the cow makes
moat or milk of what she eats. If she
has been giving milk three for four
months, the dairy eow will bo thin and
angular, no matter how well) she ha*
heen fed, but if she lias been, well fed
and is not sick she will loox healthy
and vigorous.
Among I lie moat imnortft'lt
tions of agin idcow" ir.ill j
secreting organs. First lock at ?ie '
milk veins. These ilo not convey milk
t<? tin' u<Mei\ but carry awuy from the
udder blood from "\vliich tlu milk has jl
been made. As a large amount of tiiilk I
cannot be made in the udder without
a large How of hloou, large-veins 9how
a large secretion of milk.
If a eow is really a lilie dairy cow
the veins <>11 the udder also staud oul
I prominently. I
The udder should not hong down
very low, but should be Irtrge and extended
well forward and bnck in the I
form of a semi-elrele.--Oregon 1 AgriI
