Her children aDo knew by sad ex|*erienoe, but the man himself had a very imper fect Idea of tho state of hi* ease. So once, when he came home and fell into s maudlin slumber, she sent for a photographer to come forthwith, and on hi* arrival she set before him Ills work. She ordered the photocrapbcr to photograph her husband as he sat In the chair. The photographer did Ids worx, and did it Well; ahtT wlien the photograph was finished and laid be side the husband’s place at breakfast it whs a revelation, and the sobered gen tleman experienced a decidedly new xen*ati')n. There was no need of ex planation; tho thing explained it-olf. There was no chance for contradiction; the sun tells no He*. There wa* no room for argument: & reform ha* taken place.

An English authority is responsible for the/assertlon that a man’s destiny depends upon the month of his birth. A man born in January will be a hard worker, a lover of wine, a fine singer, a manager of great enterprises. A woman born in that month will be affable; will have domestic taste* and w ill be capable-of great endurance. A^nau born In February will love money much, but women more. He will he stingy at home, but prodigal abroad. The woman will be an affec tionate wile and a good mother. The man born in March will be handsome, honest and prudent. Yet he will die poor. The woman will be tall and stout and witty. The man born in April will not necessarily be a fool even If hi* birtp.. day is the day next after MarcJ., gj.

WINTER lion BY PROF. W. for the Small Farmer. C WELBORN, The 4outh ought to have a system of rotation. We can grow a greater va riety of profitable crops than any other part of our country, and why wa-te our energies and our wealth of fertile soil in an unwise ami wasteful course of cropping? The sfnaTT farmer* ftlrohghont the South generally raise cotton, corn and oat*. Why not let these crops follow each other in regular order? Then the rotation would lie. first year, cotton; second year,corn and peas:third year, oat* followed by |iea». The fourth vear (lie laud would go back in cotton. It is i.ot at all probable that the time will soon come when a great majority of Southern farmers w 111 not raise cot ton. Under Such a system as propos ed, a good corn crop grown very cheap ly could always be coiintsd on alter cot- TOn. The pea* would enrich the land for the following oat crop: The oat and pea crop would 1111 the laud with vegetable matter and put it in good physical condition for cotton again. So, in the South, we can grow our regular feed and sale crops every year and keep our land rich with the catch-crop peas. Of course it is under stood the farm would have to be divid ed into three parts so that each crop could be grown every year. Thkre can lie no doubt that had such & system been practiced in the South tbe third of many farms in cotton wooht produce more than the whole now does. Every farmer can arrange for him- *elf a rotation of the crops he grows, remembering always to grow a legum inous, or food-bearing crop, as often as possible, to bring down fertilizing mat ter from the air tor succeeding crops. How Diphtheria Spread*. The Increase of disease every fall Is due largely to “catching cold” to vitia ted air in dwelling*, caused bv posing doors and windows that have been kept open sll summer, and to similar causes that tend to prodnee a sensitive condi tion of the thppat, favorald# to the diphtheria germ. There should be ad ded to these causa* the diminishing hours of sunlight as the year wauca. The direct rays of the sun kill the diph theria germ, butmois:ure and darkness favor their growth and inultlphcatio^v Good housewives, who open,-Vuulow* and shade* to the freiGIgXcss of sun and air, are practical, sanitarians, fighting contagion infection with the best and tjipr.'t potent of all disinfectants Th^ucats, poultry, parrot* and s me °*!he' of the lower animals are suscepti ble to diphtheria, and often Convey ft to children and others is beyond ques tion. The rules of the Illinois /State board of health for the suppression and prevention of diphtheria have recogni zed this fact for years, and direct the removal of bird* and other domestic pels and the exclusion of cats from the sick room. The precaution U a wise one, based upon observed facts. —Ubicngo Times Herald. !■ —- A Great Discovery. A first honor planter who gives close personal attention to his business six whole days in the week, .and who ha- been signally successful in Us manage ment, told us a few days ago of a bit of valuable experience that may be of use to other progressive agriculturists. He made an enormous pea brrffr this vear and was desirous of saving it quickly and cheaply. So he gathered his corn before tlie pea vfdes had drop ped their leaves and put his horse rake at work in the early mornings, over stalks and all while the dew was thick on the tangled mass. The rake did its work about as well as a mower would have d. ne, gathering the vines Into rows ready for other hands with pKfi forks who piled the$r liHo*lieaps.:,'the .propertime. \..S 1 - 1 v Later in the season he gfitiered the ripe peas In the same w.ty, using the rake .Ally while the were damp with dew.
