The Marriage Vow
INTELLECT IN A WIFE
BY LILLIE DEV
(Authoress and Lecturer, Preside
“My son," said the mission priest
to the Spanish child, “define matri
mony.”
“Matrimony,” replied the boy, “is a
state of torment to be endured in the
blessed hope of purifying the soul for
heaven.”
“No, no!” gasped the horrified
i atechist. “You have given the defini
tion of purgatory.”
“Hush, brother!” counseled the fa
ther superior. “Perchance the child
is right.”
There may or may not be a modi
cum of truth in the lad's blundering
assertion and in the father's doubting
indorsement. At any rate there can
be no doubt that on two points hang
all the difference between married
happiness and married purgatory.
These two requisites to happy con
jugal life are mutual affection and un
selfishness. *The former of course in
cludes sympathy in tastes, and with
this it is my intention to deal.
A great source of misery is the
drawing together through a brief at
traction of two people who have noth
ing in common on which to build a re
gard and respect which shall endure
when the ignis fatuus of mere infatua
tion shall have burned itself out.
In cases of this sort. If there are
no children, it may be eminently
proper that the husband and wife sep
arate when the marriage bonds gall
unbearably, but where there are chil
dren this condition changes and for
bearance must be practiced. The
household must net be broken up. Bet
ter live on together in mutual misery
than to rob your children of the home
ties that are inalienably theirs.
Unhappiness in married life is most
often due to lack of community of in
terest between man and wife. The
man of literary tastes cannot find an
enduring companion in the mindless
butterfly of fashion. The woman who
keeps abreast of the times cannot
long be interested in the society of
the husband who shares none of her
interests* and amusements. And this
brings me to the oft-vexed, never
quite-solved problem:
“Does a man prefer a pretty wife
or an intellectual one?”
While the two qualities are by no
means incompatible, I maintain that
the chances of the intellectual woman
far outclass those of her prettier but
challower sister.
EREAUX BLAKE
nt National Legislative League.)
Common sense is a strong factor in
married happiness, and the intellectu
al woman knows best when and how
to yield in matters of real importance !
and does not magnify trivialities.
Men are always attracted by a pret
ty face, but the wiser among them do
not want to marry a woman who will
be too attractive to other men.
"You admire Miss-I once said
to a man of the world. "Why don't
you marry her?”
"My dear Mrs. Blake,” he laughed,
“she is far too handsome. A diamond
is fine to look on, but one would find
far more safety and real companion
ship with a collie dog.”
Similarity of tastes and pursuits is
the firmest foundation for that pre
carious structure known as a matri
monial alliance. Self-control, too, is a
dominant factor in household peace,
and this is found to a much greater
degree among intellectual and highly
educated people than among those of
a lower order of mind. An intellectual
couple defer to and value each other's
opinions
The happiest unions are found
where both husband and wife have in
tellect. Man and wife, by constantly
living together, have such a strong ef
fect each on the formation of the
other's character that it is surprising
this point of view is not oftener con
sidered before alliances are entered
upon. Each modifies the other's char
acteristics and personality. After a
few years this change in personality
is often apparent to everyone.
For instance, the man who marries
a fool usually becomes lowered in
ideals and mentality. The woman
who marries a boor sinks to his level
or else raises him nearer to hers.
The question of marriage growrs
yearly more complex. Society’s double
standard of ethics for man and for
woman are cruelly hard upon the lat
ter. Were the same code made ap
plicable to both the aspect of marital
life would undergo a vast transforma
tion for the better. In the meantime
choice of helpmeets, guided by com
munity of tastes, the uplifting of one's
husband or wife, and constant refer
ence to the good old maxim, “Bear
and forbear,” will do much to save
countless married couples a lifetime
of misery.

“Long Live Apole Pie”
BY G. F. WRIGHT, LL.D., F. G. S. A.
There is a widespread but false pre
judice against all pies, on the score of
indigestibility. But it is related that,
at one time, when Emerson and Car
tyle met, they fell into a discussion
concerning the reasons for their dif
ferences in temperament. Whereas
Carlyle was always morose and
gloomy Emerson was always placid,
serene and happy. Carlyle could see
no reason why Emerson shoyld not be
of like temperament with himself. But
Emerson thought he saw the reason
in their diet. “Why,” he said, “Car
lyle, you eat nothing but horrid oat
meal, while I keep serene on pie
three times a day.”
One cannot realize the goodness of
Providence until he sets cut to enu
merate the great variety of things, not
only which satisfy his hunger, but
which appeal to his taste, and make
the table the chief center of social
life. What is better than a .thick
apple pie, with rich, tender crusts
above and below, filled with tart, crisp
apples, well cooked, seasoned with
sugar and cinnamon? There is noth
ing better, except it be a turnover,
which as about half the size of a small
pie, with the crust turned over, as
its name signifies, upon ai. sides, so
as to keep all the richness in, and to
be eaten without being cut. What
schoolboy in the country does not re
member his mother’s turnover that he
carried with him for his lunch.
In this case, as in so many others,
familiarity is in danger of breeding
contempt. The apple fails to be ap
preciated, because it is so common
and so widespread. Its history is ob
scure, but interesting. There are
enumerated no less than 2,000 varie
ties, and their number is still increas
ing, under cultivation. In its wild
state it is the crab apple, which is
found growing in the fields throughout
Europe and western Asia, seeming as
much at home in northern Norway
and in Siberia as anywhere. But the
i-rab apple is small, hard and “crab
bed,” and is only utilized where noth
ing better is obtained.
The best varieties of apples grow
in the temperate zones, where the
summer is hot and not too short, late
frosts in the spring being peculiarly
i destructive of the fruit. How these
varieties originated is one of the mys
teries of science, for no one can tell
when he plants the seed cf an apple
what the fruit will be.
Apples have been cultivated from
the very earliest times, the remains of
them having been found in the ruins
of the prehistoric lake dwellings of
Switzerland, while, if we give the or
dinary interpretation to the word,
there was an apple tree in the Garden
of Eden. But it is difficult to tell the
exact meaning of the words applied to
objects which existed in prehistoric
times. Many commentators suppose
that, in early times, the word “apple”
was a designation of any fruit that
emitted fragrant odors. But from all
we know of the earliest varieties of
apples, they would scarcely have been
a temptation to Eve, for even as late
as the times of Pliny, the only apple
known was a crab, “a wilding,” upon
which many a foul and shrewd curse
was poured on account of its sour
ness.
The apple is a most valuable food,
because of its abundance, its digesti
bility when cooked, its variety of fla
vors, and the readiness with which it
can be preserved throughout the win
ter season. Certain varieties of apples
can be kept in cool cellars until
spring, some of them, indexed, scarcely
being good to eat until nearly the
close of the season.
In former generations dried apples
were an essential element in every
well-stocked larder. No social gath
ering was more interesting in former
times than the apple bee, when both
the old folks and the young gathered
to spend an evening in paring, quar
tering, coring and stringing apples,
these being the preliminary stages in
those days to the process of drying.

HOW THEY CARRY BUNDLES
- $4
Traits of Character Are to Be De
duced from the Way it
Is Done.
Everybody carries bundles, and
everybody, according to a philosopher
who spends half his time in deducing
traits of character from deeds per
formed and the manner of their per
formance, carries them in his own
way.
“A man of cautious disposition," he
said, “carries a bundle clutched tight
ly in his left hand. If it is too large
to be carried that way he doesn’t
carry it at all, but has it sent home
in the delivery wagon. Such a man
Is not only cautious, he is stubborn,
md painfully slow of speech and
thought; but he is home-abiding and
□f unquestionable probity. The man
who carries a bundle in his right
tiand has all those qrialities, but in a
modified degree.
“A man who stumbles up the stairs
of the elevated station with a pack
age tucked under his arm inclining
backward and downward at a decided
angle is good-natured, but rather pes
simistic, and he might, if things went
against him too hard, take refuge in
drink. If the bundle tilts up he takes
a more optimistic view of life and
likes to tell funny stories.
“The man who carries a bundfe
hugged up close to his coat front is
jealous and inclined to be stingy.
Still, he can be managed, and if his
wife had the knack of winding him
around her finger she can easily be
the best dressed woman in the block,
because he has the money to do it
with.
“The man who ties the bundle he
has to take home with a heavy string
and goes along swinging it by thfr
loop made fcr that purpose is the
most lovable chap of all, but he is
also the most unreliable, because he
is a spendthrift, and :.s so prodigal
of his affections that the many women
whom he is sure to make love to are
apt to pass through sotae mightly un
comfortable days and nights before
they find out where they are at."
- Pretty Millinery
By JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
THERE are three leading shapes, shown in many modifications and vari
ations, upon which millinery for the fast-coming winter season is manly
built. A single example of each one is shown in our illlustrations. There
u ^re the side and the back roll styles of brim, and there is the smart and
chic” small round hat or turban. The first style with brim much widened
and crown more or less heightened becomes the picture hat. The back roll
brim is shown in hats of medium size and the turban is developed by height
ening the crown into the “Cossack” and even into the “drum major" styles.
At the very first glance the hats pictured appeal to us as more beautiful
and more becoming than anything we have had for several seasons past. A
closer study convinces us that our first impression is correct. The shape,
in the first place, fits the head as easily as a man's hat. They do no envelope
us, fairly concealing the face, nor are they perched precariously on top of
the head, as if about to take advantage of their wings to fly away. This good
fit makes the wobbly hat a thing of the past, and once properly adjusted and
pinned to place, we can be reasonably sure that they will not slip into an
undignified if not rakish looking pose.
The trimming for each of these hats is well chosen and substantial to
begin with, elegant and beautiful to end with. In No. 1 the velvet covered
hat has a brim upturned in the back and what is known as the "collar
edge” in front and sides. The shape is of plain velvet. It is draped with vel
vet (the light Paon silk variety) and trimmed with natural wings. These
will stand any amount oi wear and are to be had in all colors.* A band orna
ment of gunmetal or other beads finishes the decoration. In addition to
fitting well, this hat fulfills all the requirements of good millinery when it is
well made. It affords a protection to the head and eyes and it is more than
becoming—it is really flattering. It is said that the test of perfection in
millinery is this: the wearer should look better with than without her hat.
In more than nine cases out of ten this model will be found to stand the test.
A very elegast model is shown in No. 2. It is of fine beaver felt with
(rimming of shirred ribbon and a wreath of roses. The ribbon is shirred on
light wires and cleverly draped over the crown. The semi-wreath is of roses
made of a very high luster silk and velvet having a metallic appearance.
They are shaded in tones to harmonize with the hat. Every winter we find
flowers growing more popular as a trimming for cold weather headwear.
They are fashioned to look as if meant for wintry weather and if chosen for
dress hats will prove worthy the happy greeting they have received from
women. Although not as desirable as natural wings and quills, they will
last a season out. This hat is especially fine in the catawba shades and in
bronze browns and olive green.
A pretty Paris turban in which the designer has deigned to take note of
serviceability as well as beauty is shown in No. 3. There are draped tur
bans of many kinds to choose from. This one has a crown of Dresden silk
in which a fascinating play of color is introduced. The brim or coronet is
made of velvet which terminates at the left in an irregular rosette or chou.
A big cabochon of jet forms a side decoration. One may have an additional
aigrette or fancy feather. The silk fiber grasses are graceful and a satis
factory substitute where there is an objection to the aigrette. This turban
admits of almost any variety ot feather trimming at the side and nothing is
handsomer than three ostrich half plumes. Unless a good quality is used,
however, a fancy feather is to be preferred.
She who chooses any one of the three hats shown here may rest assured
that there is nothing better in the line of practical and elegant millinery.
The picture hat and the distinctly tailored hat are not of this kind and
require separate description.
GARNITURES IN TWO FORMS
Seed Pearls Worked Upon Chiffon or
Insertion—Valenciennes Lace
Is Liked.
One of the very newest garnitures
consists of seed pearls, pearl beads
and tiny clear beads worked upon
chiffon all-over or insertion. The in
sertion is $10 a yard and one of the
pearl collars costs no less than $16.
Its richness cannot be appreciated un
til one sees the material itself. The
smallest clear beads imaginable are
used on milky white chiffon, there be
ing just enough glitter to make the
trimming very rich in appearance.
Valenciennes lace again comes to
the fore in trimming of satin over
skirts. In many instances it is slightly
gathered, especially where there are
loops and graceful curves. The ma
terial is cut from beneath and this
softens the skirt very much. Many
lace pieces are used on the corsage to
define more closely the cuirasse
bodice, which is a handsome feature
of the season’s best dresses.
Remedy for Dandruff.
Sixty grains of resorcin, one dram
of ether, one dram of olive oil, six
ounces of alcohol. Dandruff can be
remedied only by extreme cleanliness
of the scalp. You should have a
thorough shampoo every ten days,
never use a fine comb or irritate the
scalp in any possible way.
SHAPE FOR AUTUMN
S' ^
Of bla<?k silk, lined with black vel
vet, and turned up at the back. Soft
crown of fine black net.
Embroidery Rings.
Oval embroidery rings can be used
for other purposes than that for which
j they were originally designed. One
hoop can be used as a necktie holder.
If it be wound with shaded ribbon of
a sensible, durable shade and from
the ends a hanger be extended, a
holder which will meet with the ap
proval of the brother or cousin will
be the result. .
These hoops can also be used for
the tops of darning bags, laundry
holders and waste bags. When they
run through the hem at the top they
afford a firm support for the hanging
weight.
Individual towel holders are at
tractive In this form. An oval ring
can be painted and enameled in white
or the color of the bath room. A
small monogram can be marked upon
each ring to insure sanitary precau
tion.
Three Fopular Blues.
Just now three blues that are most
prominent are the deep marine shade,
a brighter Prussian blue and a lovely
color called lapislazuli, after the stone
of that name. It is full early yet to
think of the summer exodus, never
theless the milliners are preparing for
the departure of those birds of pas
sage who come and go with startling
abruptness in these restless days, and
are selling traveling headgear.of vari

HOG HOUSE ADAPTED
TO VARIOUS SECTIONS
Swine Thrive Where There Is Good Shelter in Winter
and Shade in the Summer—By
J. E. Bridgman.
Elevation of Hog House.
It is only natural that the climate
and soil which will best favor the
production of any live stock are those
in which the same stock is found
wild, in his natural state. The hog is
found where vegetation is abundant
and luxuriant, where he can find shel
ter In winter and shade and plenty
of water in the summer, writes J. T.
Bridgman, in Orange Judd Farmer.
While he is a heavy feeder and
thrives best where he can find luxur
iant pastures, roots, etc., he is not a
ranger and cannot endure a great
amount of travel at one time. As
hogs are notably affected by extremes
of cold and heat, tiie character of
their shelter will have much to do
with their successful rearing. The
above being true, we will naturally
do best with hogs when we have ar
ranged their home* and feeding
grounds, to a certain extent, at least,
such as he would choose for himself
in his wild state. Proper shelter is
root cellar is located under the feed
ing room for storing roots; the stair
way is located under the main stair
above.
The floor of the feeding room is
dropped eight inches and covered with
stock boards. The entire floor con
sists of eight inches of cement. The
feed room is also used as a slaughter
house. A galvanized iron, vent stack
is placed over the cooker to carry
away the steam, and a good brick flue
is built in the corner, as shown. The
house is sided with drop siding, and
lined on the inside with six-inch floor
ing. Each pen has a small window
and one door leading to the driveway,
also one leading to the yards. A slid
ing door, shown at B, closes the drive
way from the feed room. A good
tight floor is laid in the loft, and a
5x8-foot open door left for passing
down bedding and for a ventilator.
All hog men have their own ideas
of arranging the feed and water
troughs. However, a good plan is

no doubt the first and most serious
question, and while the perfect hog
house has not up to date been invent
ed, great improvements have been
made during the past few years.
The accompanying illustrations show
a hog house that is well adapted to al
most every climate, except the ex
treme south. As shown by the floor
plan, the house is 28x62-feet square,
and ten feet to the eaves. The lower
story is seven feet, leaving ample
room above for bedding and feed.
The chop feed is stored in bins above
and drawn through the spouts AAA.
Mixing barrels or boxes are placed
close to the cooker, shown at C, and
the cooked or steamed feed carried
to the pens in a wheeled feeder. A
shown in the pen marked X. A nest
is built in the rear corner, a water
trough placed in front, a feed trough
along the side, and a Ux4 timber is
then placed across the pen from the
rear end of feed trough. This makes
a feeding floor for ear corn, and the
hogs will seldom foul this part of the
floor. The house should set on a
good foundation, and have a good
tight roof, and the exterior-exposed
woodwork should receive at least two
coats of paint. A feed and litter car
rier may be installed if the house has
over eight pens, and will save some
labor. The cellar has an outside en
trance, and each gable has a large
double door for hoisting feed and bed
ding.
WAGES PAID
FARM LABOR
_
Increased from $10.43 In 1879
to $1 7 In 1906—May Tend
to Hold Men On
Farms.
Statistics gathered from the federal
government's reports show that the
average prices paid farm labor since
1879 have risen considerably. For the
year, or season, the monthly money
rate paid farm labor for the different
census periols was $10.43 in 1879,
$13.29 in 1893, $12.02 in 1895, and in
creasing to $17 in 1906.
George K. Holmes, in Volume 33,
No. 2 of the 1909 annals of the Ameri
can Academy of Social Science, speaks
of this wage as follows: “The expres
sions of farm wages in money and
as a rate is very misleading and is
probably one of the most powerful
causes of the dissatisfaction of the
laborer and of his migration to higher
nominal money rates of wages in
town and city. The farm laborer re
ceives some things besides money in
return for his labor. More or less in
local practice there are wage pay
ments which take the form of bonus
es, such as house rent, or the use of
a garden plot, or pasturage for a cow,
or milk for the daily use of the fam
ily, or firewood, or feed for a hog or
two, or the use of horse and wagon
for family pleasure on certain days.
Then there is the low cost of living in
the farm laborer's favor as compared
with the cost which he would find in
the city, which makes his money
wages much larger in fact than the
rates indicate. This fact, however, has
no weight with the farm laborer and
is not perceived by him.
“These failures to perceive and to
understand the full fact with regard
to wage earnings tend to deplete the
farm of its hired labor. The recent
rise in the money rate of wages may
perhaps tend to hold wage labor to
the farm. Not until the recent pros
perous times in agriculture has the
farmer been able to pay much higher
wages than during the many years of
agricultural production depression pre
ceding 1897 or thereabouts. The far
mer is now getting into a financial
position where be may be able to
hold the country labor from drifting
to the city, especially if he expresses
the entire wage in terms of money.”
When in doubt, take a day off and
nind your own business.
Where Is the Dog Kept?
Nothing so annoys or makes a dog
ugly, snappish and uncomfortable as
chaining him within a limited space.
Constantly and vainly endeavoring to
get free, the dog's disposition in a
short time changes and he grows al
most useless on the farm, says Farm
Journal. It’s true that a good dog in
side of a dwelling is worth two out
side, where acquaintance with passers
by is easily made, and would-be rob
bers have opportunity easily to fix the
animal; but a reliable barn dog is
best employed in running about, keep
ing order, watching the stock and
prepared to alarm the household when
strangers .appear. Such a dog is a
safeguard against pilferers; but
chained to a kennel his efforts are
hampered and he is absolutely worth
less as a watch-dog and a perpetual
trouble and nuisance to his owner.
Starting Sheep on Grain.
When about to feed sheep on grain,
if it has not been fed them before,
they must be started on corn grain
cautiously, especially if corn is a prin
cipal factor in the food to be fed. We
have great faith in using oats as a
principal portion of the grain food
when starting the feeding process. A
little bran will be helpful, but it is an
easy matter to use too much of the
latter.
Two or three weeks should be taken
to lead them up gradually before they
are put upon feed; otherwise the ap
petite may be destroyed, and it may
take several days, and even two or
three weeks, to bring the flock back
to that condition in which they will
be able to consume food with a proper
relish.
Advantage in Geese.
One advantage in keeping geese is
that they live to a great age. 25 to 40
: ears, and are breeders till ten years
of age. If you can porperly handle
a small flock of geese on the farm
their feathers will prove a great item
in household economy in making pil
lows and other articles for which
feathers are used. They can live on
an exclusive diet of grass in summer.
Soil for Turnips.
Turnips do especially well in new
ground, because of the good supply of
mineral elements and the humus. Old
fields and gardens should receive lib
eral fertilizing.
Few Letters Go Astray.
