Foundation of Happy Marriage.
In the Woman's Home Companion a
writer suys:
"II was .lane Welsh Cailyle who
wrote these words after thirty years of
married life:
" I married for ambition. Cariyio
has exceeded all Hint my wildest hopes
ever .Imagined, nud I am miserable.'
"Science lias taught us a great many
Interesting tilings about race progress
ami eugenics, but the fundamental
principle of eugenics seems to have
discovered Itself very early In tho his
tory of the race. Healthy children ure
usually those who are born of happy
marriages."
Keep the Weeds Down,
Attack the weeds as soou as thoy
appear In the garden. It Is loss work
to keep a garden clean from the be
ginning than It is after the weeds have
Diado a good start. Weeds are gross
feeders and roll the garden plants of
food and moisture they require.
Dandelions, plantain and dock can
best be removed from the lawn by cut
ting them oft below the erown. Fill
up the holes with earth. Cut the
weeds every two weeks and all will
soon disappear. New York Sun.

Hia Title Comae From the Old English
Ua of Wooden Tallies.
Formerly accounts were kept and
lnrgc sums of money paid and received
by the king's exchequer In London, with
little other form than the exchange or
delivery of tallies, pieces of wood notch
ed or scored, corresponding blocks be
ing kept by the parties to the account.
From till usage one of the head offi
cers of the exchequer was called the
"talller" or "teller." These tallies were
often negotlnhle. Adaj Smith In hi
"Wealth of Nations" says that "In 1600
tallies had been ut -10 and 50 and 00
per cent discount, and bnuknote at 20
per cent,"
The system of tallies was discontinu
ed about 1S30, and the destruction In
the night of Oct. 10, 188 1, of the old
houses of parliament 1 thought to have
been occasioned by the overhentlug ot
tho flue when the furnaces were em
ployed to consume the tallies, rendered
useless hy the nlteintlon lu the mode
of keeping the exchequer account. An

and repeats the process until she has
erected a circular wall about one foot
In diameter. She keeps on till the

the surface of the water, and the

The work Is performed only nt night,
