The penny wedding of Germany is on a different basis. The bride receives her guests with a basin before her. in which everybody deposits a jewel, a silver spoon, or piece of money. In some parts of Germany the expense of a marriage is met by each guest paying for what he eats and drinks, and, moreover at a very high rate, so that the young couple thereby obtain a sum sufficient to start them nicely in life. As many as 300 guests often asaemble.

In November thousands of women will be coloring dresses, alcirts,jackets, coats, vests, pants, shawls, wool yarns and carpet rags. The dying operation is an . important one, and demands -great care.

" The requirements of health can be counted on the fingers of one hand," said a leading London physician. "They are:, Good air, good food, suita,ble clothing, eleanlinesn'and exercise and rest. "The first two requirements affect the blood, and an the blood circulates all over the body, every part of she body, including the brain,is affected. Fresh air affects the purity of the blood. The freshest air is out of doors, and it is the duty of everyone who wishes to be healthy to spend a certain amount of time in open air. Good food is -not necessarily expensive food. "Exercise and rest should altertiate and balance each other. It is quite posaible to take too much exercise, and this side of the question must be guarded against es care- fully as the other. " Women, as a rule, do not rest suffici- ently. Every woman should try during the day to get a few minutes of rest, even if it interferea with her regular work. It is impossible for her to attend to the health and welfare of her family if her own health suffers from overwork and lack of rest. She should follow her husband's eaample. Altbough he is busy all day long, he gener- ally makes it a hard and fast rule to rest during the evening in the very best way, namely—by change of employment. • Ontario's Ex -Premier. (FROM THE LONDON ADVERTISER.) Hon. A. S. Hardy has accepted the joint office of surrogate clerk and clerk of the process at Oegoode Hall, at a salary of $3,400 a year. At the age of 62 Mr. Hardy leaves the public service in which he has handled millions of public money, a temper atively poor man' and no one will begrudge him a post whichwill yield him semoderate, but needed, income, and will not prove too arduous for his predarious health. Mr. Hardy sacrificed a brilliant profeesional career to enter the Legislature. Aleeder of the bar is in a more enviable financial posh tion than a leader of any government in this country, as experience seems to show. It is almost pathetic that a man after giving his brains and his energy to his native Proviooe tor 26 years, should step down frem the highest piece in the gift of the people and be obliged to look for other employment in order to support himself at an age which would have brought h'irth ease and opulence had he refused to enter public life. Still, if public *life has few tangible rewards it has some compensations of another kind, though they, too often come late. One of these' is the kindly tribute paid Mr. Hardy by his political antagonist, Mr. Whitney, the leader of the Opposition in the Legislature, in his speech at the Tupper meeting in Massey Hall, Toronto, a few evenings aro. (FROM THE FARMERS' SUN.) It had for some time been understood that the state of Mr. Hardy's health would ob- lige him to resign office. He now announces his retirement with dignity in it valedictory marked by good feeling,good temper and good taste. Mr. Hardy can point to a pub- lic career prolonged through many years, and as free from stain se that of any politi- cian under the party system can be. During the period that he presided over the De- paitment of Crown Lands, large mineral deposits were discovered in the northern part of the Province. Here was. on oppor- tunity to exploit the resources of the Pro- vince for politioal purposes, and, had a weak or corrupt Minister been at the head of the department at that time, the interests of Ontario would doubtless have suffered. But powerful lumbermen and mining speculators found that they had to deal- with a man determined to prolrect the public interests. Party workers seeking mines and timber in return for political support left Mr. Hardy's office offended and empty banded. During the whole period of his hdministrative (ca- reer no charge of corruption was ever made against him in the Legislature. He can say on his retirement that personally he has not been the gainer, but the looser, by hie devo- tion to the service of the State. The public : aeydi:ell, overlook many shortcomings in any publie man having such a record to his • Things Worth Knowing. Doctors i say that cold ankles kill more women than nerves and diseases put to- gether. Brown Ibread and butter cut thin, and served with half a lomon as an adjunct to almost any sort of fish, makes it far more appetising, If trees are to be planted in the fall, the soil should firet be prepared in good condi- tinne Pars seeni to thrive best if grown in ohm proximity to stone. They draw both mole• ture and richness from stone. In almost every county in Kansas there are fine farms owned and operated by Kan- sas women without the aid of men. A growing Vermont industry is the can: ning of corn, this season's output in the south.eaetern part of the state being 3,000,- G°0earneS Neleeka's corn crop this year, now safe, will be 300,000,000 bushels. Corn is now selling there at thirty cents,making the crop worth $90,000,000. After boiling hams or tongue, let them cool in the water in which they are cooked. This helps to make the meat more tasty, moist, and tender. When greasing a tin for plum or any sweet cake, always use lard instead of but - as the cake will not burn so easily as it would do if_butter was used. To keep the kitchen table white, after wetting it scrape down some bath brick very fine, and spread over the surface, scrub well, then washoff the bath brick and dry. The growth of the beard is stronger on one side of the fedi than the other. It is usually the case that the hair grows more rapidly on that side which we are strongest. A temperance organization which should lay down as its fundamental law abstinence from excessive eating would do away with the greater part of the ordinary sicknesses among persons who should live up to the law. Manure should be kept packed away from the a r as tightly as possible, and if rotted should be ploughed under just before planting, otherwise several months before that time. The onio is now being boomed as a reliable weether prophet. It is said that when the Winter is to be oold onions develop two or three skins, whereas, if thewinter ia to be mild bhey consider one japket suffi- cient. A cow requires just so much to nieet the requirements of her body, and all food over this goes into milk , but only as far as the cow is'able to make milk ; all food given over this amount is practically wasted, and is, at least, fed at a loss. When there is an inclination to grow stoue fruit should be eaten for breakfast. Baked applesare a moat excellent thing to take, and toitist should always be eaten in- stead of bread. Cake of all kinds must be carefully avoided. By the usual mode of introducing the Belt it will not'mix or incorporate with the egg. The result is, you either get a quantity of salt Without egg or egg without salt. In order to make the two mix properly, after cutting off the top, put in a drop or two of milk, tea or any other liquid you may have on the table, then add the salt and stir. The result is far more agreeable—the drop of liquid is not tasted. • Flies in the Sick Room. Flies are always objectionable and' annoy- ing, and especially so in a sick room, where they may also be the means of spreading in- fection. It is a good thing to know that fumigating with carbolic acid not only testa as a disinfectant, but aleo as a preventitive of the fly nuisance. A simple fumigator is made by fastening a patty -pan by means of a bracket made of twisted wire attached to, and projecting from the neck of a ginger. beerbottle, above a night light. As the light burns the diabolic fumes of the disin- fectant in the patty -pan will fill the air, and make it unbearable to insect pests. It is necessary to place the fumigator well out of the reach of children, for not only ia carbolic acid poisonous, but it is capable of inflicting the most dreadful burns. • FATAL IGNORANCE].

Mr. Br dy was in ignor- ance of what the matter w tsusof ntilhBerighhat,sp- pened to read the sym om Disease in a Dodd's Kidnejy Pill phamphlet. Says Mr. Brady, " I purchased three boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and, after I had ueed one box, I felt the disease leaving me. I am now completely cured. My friends here in London wit' vouch for what I say, Dodd's Kidney Pills saved my life." . Wit and Wisdom. Every time the wind valises a disturbance it is sure to blow about it.' Happiness is like a kittee's tail—hard to catch ; but there's plenty ot fun in chasing it. There is no rest f9r money. Spend- thrifts keep it going; misers keep counting it. The lessons of adversity are often the most beningnant when they seem most severe. He—" Would you call for help if I tried to kiss you ?" She—" Would you eited it?"
