In the Galilean , wedclirrg that Miss Genevieve Cowles describes in Asia the bride was less than fifteen years old. The guests as• sembled with gracious and reserved i Hebrew salutations, leaving their shoes at the door and entering softly. I A girl would pause gently and make a , little reverence, then she woflid kiss lightly the tips of her lingers and ex- • ;Send the palm of the hand to give the firtest touch to one guest and Hien to 1 other and another, with particular deference to the Old women, . The men and boys gathered in the large room of the rabbi, the women and girls hi the small room. A golden silence prevailed for long intervals while the guests smoked the nargile, or Turkish pipe, three or four of which sufficed for the company, since numerous mouthpieces enabled as many as five people to smoke at the sane time from one nargile: The men wore brighter costumes than the women, and here and there a gown of baby blue or bright pale pink added a, vivid touch, but in general the dresses of the gu"sts•were of subdued colors. , The elleuce melted into sonorous Hebrew, spoken oe Half chanted, with rifting soil falling inflections—until at 1aet, like a rest in music, came the Weisel muse and the great moment, 11eforc the future bridegroom stood a tall rabbi holding by one enol a ker. chief, The boy held the other end, according to the form of the civil con- tract, and. promised to be a faithful husband to the girl he had never seen. 'Tie rabbi then entered the room of the women, where Esther, the bride, stood waiting bashful!,; hor face cov- ered with a long veil,' and gave -her one enol of the kerchief. She, as. the boy had done, now held one end while the rabbi held the other. By accent= ing the kerchief, she silently gave her consent to the civil contract that bound. her to the man whom she had never seen. There was no sign of love between the two betrothed, as between lovers in the West, but in order to annul the marriage it would be necessary to ob- tain the consent of a tribunal of rab- tis. Esau Wobd and "His Wood Saw. You can do queer things with the Englih language. Here is a puzzler. It le easy enough to read it, but have Iietizing or palatable. Many feeders Pit read aloud to you and arse what you make the mistake of not feeding the cow enough. About 50 to 60 per cent. of the feed goes to maintain the body. If the ration is reduced a fourth, the portion left for milk production de- clines a half, for the maintenance re- quirement remains about the same. It is better to increase the ration gradually so that a larger proportion is available for the manufacture of milk, but the question centres about inducing the cow to eat the feed. eventeen Do you remember those ages, when your character was being formed how you followed examples, did what•iather people did— your senior years at school—your start in business ? Recall thein if you can. Yoil gained a knowledge you will find useful when your own boy starts out. Give him the right start. Teach him the value of personal appearance and self respect.

Success in feeding dairy cows de- pends largely upon getting the animals to eatrlarge quantities of feed, and to entice them to consume large amounts ,the feeder must employ several schemes to make the feed more ap- make of it.

()illy within the last few years has it come to be known that the so-called "miner's consumption," a cause of great mortality among workers un- derground, is not tuberculosis at all. Of course, miners are liable to tubercular disease like other folks, bat the malady here referred to is caused by breathing air that is laden with rock dust. This. dust, taken into tate lungs, lodges in the cellular structure of those organs, which after a while may become literally mineralized to a `large extent. They are no longer able to do their work properly; the suf- ferer coughs constantly and painfully, and he may die The cause of the trouble having been ascertained, means are now taken in all well-managed mines to cieartlhe rock dust out of the airs with sprays of water. A hen usually requires Considerable food for the first; two or three weeks before she 'begins to lay. Microbes are never i`ound on gold coins, while paper phoney is tin ideal home far them. The reason is that g' td acts as a ,bactericide. Salads in Rations. W can walk up to a lunch counter, order -a sandwich, beans and dessert, and our hunger may be fuliy ap- peased. But we can also go to a sumptuous banquet amid pleasant sur- roundings and eat a five -course dinner. The cow will do the same thing if she is put under analogous conlitions and she will respond in increased produc- tion. The problem is•to find out what salads and relishes she is especially fond of and then keep baiting her on till she reaches the limit of consump- tion commensurate with profitable production. Kindness in treatment and pleasant surroundings are essen- tial in getting the cow to perform to the utmost. A common way to get the cow to eat more food is to give it to her of- ten. It is nature's way. We have of- ten watched co'tvs in the open pasture eat for a while, then rest in the shade and ruminate, soon going forth for more to eat. ''Why should we not imi- tate natural feeding habits if the method can be practicably carried out? In the winter in particular it is pos- sible to feed three or. four times a day, and where many cows are kept, ;the time.so spent upon the individual cow will be very small. .-Molasses is a great appetizer, con- ditioner and mild laxative. It supplies nutriment, and when added to cheap hay, ensilage or grain, it makes the feed much more attractive to the cow and she eats with greater relish. We have noted when it was fed to high - milking cows and floured over the en- silage or grain, it acted just like mayonnaise on lettuce. In a few cases we have seen it used success- fully when mixed with two or three times as much water and then sprink- led over the roughage, old fray, straw and»chaff. From half a pint to a quart May be fed daily. Feeds themselves differ in palata- bility. Cows relish sohne feeds much better than others, and skillful is he who can find out'the individual.tastes of his cows.—Ohio Farmer. Tipperracherra. At school we are taught that King George is ruler over the whole Em- pire of India. There is-. however, a strip of land situated in Assam, about twenty miles from South Sylhet, over which Great Britain has no dominion. This is Tipperracherra. It is ruled by the natives themselves, and whenever any of them in the surrounding dis- tricts get into trouble with their sa- hibs or memsahibs, they make straight for this tract of land until the trouble blows over. More enlightened than their fellow plainsmen), the Hill Tipperras are cleaner, and have a better idea of com- fort. They build their huts in the bustis (native villages) on piles, to protect them from damp. Rather short and sturdily buiit,•they think nothing of walking forty miles to the nearest bazaar and hack to do their marketing, carrying fish strung on a stick over their shoulder, and their other purchases in a basket on the head. They dress in a short drapery, leav- ..ing the legs and arms bare,. and many dispense with the turban. They are lighter in calor than- the ordinary native, and the nien wear their black. sleek hair hanging to the shoulders with colored quills stuck over one ear, somewhat after the manner of the Redskin. White people are a source of great interest to then, and the women and butches (children) form a ring round them, exchanging many glances and words of curiosity. sllT ill Hill ii ill 1 r!

Rebecca, age eight, was very proud of her father's rank as a first Beaten ant, and grew quite indignant when a neighbor boy called him "Captain," according to an exchange. "I'll have you understand that my daddy is not a captain," she said. "He's a lieutenant " "011, it doesn't matter," replied the boy; "he is an officer." "Indeed he is not an officer," she pro- tested. . "Yes, dear, a lieutenant is an offi- cer," interrupted Rebecca's mother.

It attacks people when the blood is overcharged with acid and impurities, thus setting up inflalnina- tion in the muscles and joints, Wet weather or cold weather of autumn may start the tortures of rheumatism, but is not the Cease. The cause 13 in. the blood. end the blood only. Victims of this malady have every reason to fear the first dull ache in the limbs and joints, followed by sharp pains through the flesh and muscles; these are the symptoms of poison in the blood which may shortly leave the victim painracked and helpless. There is only one way to cure rheu- matism, and that is through the blood. Liniments, hot applications, and rub- bing may give temporary ease, but cannot possibly root the trouble out of the system. That can only be done by the rich, red blood which Dr. Williams'. Pink Pills actually snake. This new blood drives out the poisonous acids and impurities, awl the rheumatism disappears. If you are sufferer from this painful malady been curing your- self to -day by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and sec how soon the pains and stiffness of the joints fade away, leaving behind new energy and new health, You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, from The Dr. Williams' Medi -1 cine Co., I;rockville, Ont. University Memorial. Speaking of the many donations to Univer„sties in recognition of the sac- rifices of college men and women, whose response to the call to arms was not surpassed in alacrity by any • body or cls ss of citizens in any of the allied countries, Sir Robert Falconer, President of the University of Toron- to, points out with pride that no''tini- versity in America has a record of service that surpasses that of the big educational institution which has helped to make the provincial capital famed throughout the world as a seat of hetrning. Sir Robert is,.intensely interested in the big campaign which is -now being waged to raise half a million dollars to perpetuate, by a Memorial Tower and Gateway and the institution of scholarships and a lec- tureship, the war record of the 5,60il graduates; and former students who auswered when Civilization called, as well as the memory of the six hundred gallant men wlho cheerfully gave their lives on foreign b<.;tz.lefiel.ds. In comparison ison with Toronto's cam- paign it is pointed out that the Uni- versity of Clhic:a;;o Itos received one gift cf two and a half million dollars from one nr .n., La Verne W. Noyes, who has stipulated that the money he used for the benefit of soldiers and sailors of the United States and their descond�ats. In connection with the scholarship. which are to be instituted here, $300,- 000 of the fund beim; set aside for this purpose, the Prenblent of the Univer- sity of 'reliant() explains that a scholar-' ship should not be less in value than $200 a year. This means that if one ' candidate is to receive a scholarship every year an outlay of $S00 would be necessary for the four years' course. In order to supply such an annual in- come a good capital sum would be re- quired. If it were decided that these scholarships were to be awarded for a periet1 of years, say fifteen or twenty-five, the amount of capital would not be quite as large as.dhat necessary if they were to•be made perpetual. The conditions required in addition to those of having served in the war. or of being a close relative of oue who has served are a certain standard of scholarship to prove that the candi- date is likely to profit by a course in the University and if there are several candidates in the community the scholarship to be awarded on tI•Se basis of rhherit.
