Cloud Banners of the Aims.

Among the most exquisite scenes which
delight the eye of the European traveller are
those wonderful, rose-colored cloud-ban-
ners floating from the Alpine cliffs. But it
is only in the sunlight that Nature hangs
out those beautiful tokens. So it is Only In
the glow Of health-the sunlight of our
inner being-that Nature reveals those
physical cloud banners, the rosy cheek"
and cherry lip" to praise which every
poet of the earth has invoked the Muse to
aid him. But they are as rare as tn CIV meal
Hood conceived Christian charity 10 be.
Woman, eager to retain this charm, resorts
to French art and rouge. The effecg is simi-
lar to that which would be produced by
substituting auctioneers' flags for the deli
cate, glowing cloud banners of the Alps
If woman would aid Nature instead of
adopting Art, would seek health instead of
vainly trying to mask disease, she would
not only win the greatest charm of
womanhood-health- she would aver
much misery both from herself aud 9th
ers. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has
received the htghes. praise from thousands
of pale, delicate, suffering women. One
| bottle often affords more relief than months
of treatment by caustics aud other medi-
cines. 1t is harmless in any condition of
the system, and its use oftcu renders the
modest invalid exempt from that most try
| ing OF ordeals-a personal consultation with
physician. 1t is the duty of every woman
to become familiar with the CAUSES and
symptoms of the many diseases to which
her peculiar organization renders her liable
and also to learn the proper means of pre-
venting these maladies. The Peoples Med,
ical ADVISER contains an extensive treatise
upon Woman and Her Diseases" The
author also advises courses of domestic
treatment, which will often render the ser,
vices of physician unnecessary Every
woman should read it. A copy Of the Ad.

milk in 8 tight can confines the animal
flavor to the milk. Milk carried to the
factory with the cover open is bettered
by the transportation. 1t requires less
rennet to chadulate milk which has
been transported to the factory. Slight
ly churning skim-milk will make it
produce = better quality of cheese.
Cheese made from milk which is off
flavor will not stand the hot wealth er
as well as cheese made from pure milk.
Cheese should have a temperature of
zoe for curing, and this should not be
varied. TIE ventilation by the small
tube In the cover Of the can is not suf-
fcient to secure the best quality of
milk. He had invented cover with a
wire gauze in the center in place
of the tin. A rim two inches high is
placed around the edge of the gauze; a
fiange around the cover prevents the
cover from sinking. Many of the New
England factories will not receive milk
in other GALS.

THE GOLDEN MILESTONE.


I,eafess are the trees their purple branches
Spread themselves abroad, like reefs OF coral
Rising silent
In the Read Sea of the winter sunset.
From, the hundred chimneys of the village,
like the Afreet in the Arabian story,
smoky columns
Tower aloft into the air of amber.
At the window winks the Pickering fire-light;
Here and there the lamps Of evening glimmer,
Social watch-fires
Answering one another through the darkness-
On the beach the lighted logs are glowing,
And like Ariel in the clover pine tree
For its freedom
GrOans and signs the air imprisoned in them.
By the FIRE the old men seated,
Seeing ruined cities in the ashes;
Asking sadly
Of the Past what it can ue'er restore them.
BY the hresida are youthful dreamers,
Building castles fair with stately stairways,
Asking blndy
of the Future what it cannot give them.
By the freside tragedies are acted,
In its scenes appear two actors only,
Wife and husband,
And above them God the sole spectator.
By the freside there are peace and comfort;
Wives and children with their thoughtful faces,
Waiting, watching
For wel-known footstep N the passage.
Zach mans chimney is his 3lden Milestone;
Is the central point from which he measures
Every distance
Through the gateways Of the world around him.
In his farthest wanderings still he sees it;
Hears the talking fame, the answering night-w ind
As he heard them
When he sat with those who were, but are not.
Happy he whom neither wealth nor fashion,
Nor the march of the encroaching city,
Drives exile
From the hearth of his ancestral homestead
We may build more splendid habitations,
Fiji our rooms with paintings and with sculptu res
But we cannot
Buy with gold the old associations

How Valentines are Made.

Modern valentines, aside from val
liable presents contained in them, are
very pretty things, and they are grow
ing prettler every year, since large bus
mess houses spare neither skill nor
money in getting them up. The most
interesting thing about them to "grown
ups" is the way they are made; and
perhaps even you youngsters who
watch eagerly for the postman, "sink
ing beneath the load of embarrassme nts
not his own" would like to know how
satin and lace and flowers anu other
dainty things grow into valentine.
1t is no fairy's handiwork. 1t went
through the hands of grimy- looking
workmen and dowdy-looking girls; it
made familiar acquaintance with sand
paper and glue-pots, and steel stamps
and inky presses and paint brushes,
and all sorts of unpleasant things, be-
fore it reached your hands.
To be sure, dreamy artist may have
designed it, but photographer with
inky fingers printed the picture on it; a
die cutter with sleeves rolled up made
a pattern in steel with the lace-work Oh
the edge; and a dlngy-looking press
man with paper hat on stamped the
pattern around the picture. Another
hard handed workman rubbed the back
of the stamped lace with Sand paper till
1t came in holes and looked like lace,
and not merely like stamped paper, and
row of girls at common long table
talking about their narrow lives, the
hard times, aad so forth-put on the
colors with stencils, gummed on the
hearts and darts and cupids of flowers
and mirrors and doors and curtains, and
stuck In the sacket powder, and tied up
tucked in the handkerchief or other
gift, and otherwise finished the thing
exactly like the pattern before them.
You see the sentiment about valen-
tine doesn't begin yet. To all these
worKmen it is "a erely their daily work,
and to them means only bread and but
ter and a home. 1t is not until Tom,
Dick or Harry takes it from the sta
toner and writes your name on it that
it acquires in some mysterious way, the
settlement that makes it such a nice
thing to get.
The hideous abomination called a
"comic valentine" which is merely a
cruel or low-minded insult to the re-
ceiver, is beneath the notice of any
gentleman, whether he be five or fifty
years old, and [ am sure that no boy
cares to know just how it is made

der"
His resolution was desperate one
must be carried out without the delay
of a single moment, if at all. He
swung himself down on the pilot,
twisted his feet within the iron bars,
and extended his body ahead as if
carved from oak, and stretching his
hands still in advance.
1t was trying situation, one requir-
ing the greatest courage position no
one unused to feats of strength within
the arena could have sustained at all.
But he did, and bravely, and the en-
CINE rolled on nearer and nearer. and
the boy suddenly becoming aware of
his danger and the impossibility of es-
cape, sank down upon the ties, and his
screams of mortal agony rang out
louder and louder than jar of wheels

save me- Oh, save me !"
Save him? John Lathrop was kneel-
ing on the floor of the cab, with his
hands raised in prayer, his face white
as snow, and working in the most ter
rible torture. The fireman had taken
his place at the lever, throttle, and
whistle, and the engine plunged with
increased speed upon down grade to
grind into atoms all that dared oppose
its way.
1t was upon-over the boy No,
heaven be praised; the arms of the
tramp had grasped, lifted, and dragged
him upon the pilot and to safety before
touched by the fire breathing monster;
and when it paused, quivering upon the
very brink Of the crippled culvert, John
Lathrop was holding his brave boy in
his arms, hugging him to his heart, and
crying over him as q woman.

Oh eese Making.

At tie recent meeting Of the St.
Lawrence dairymen, Prof. L. B. Arnold
delivered an address on cheese making,
in the course of which he remarked
that one of the most important errors
is that the dairyman keeps two COWS
to furnish the milk one might be made
to produce. The rule to adopt is to
produce the largest amount of milk
from the least amount of carcass. He
would impress the dairymen with the
importance of keeping full supply of
food before the cow for a time after
coming to new milk. If you pinch
her then, ehe cannot be brought back
to what she gave at first. Feed that
kind of food that is oest adapted to
making flesh. After the rush of grass
other food should be provided to make
up the deficiency. If this is not done,
no amount of food later in the season
will make up the loss.
The supply of water and the comfort
of the cow during the warm weather do
not receive sufficient attention. A large
share of the cheese manufactured dur
ing the hot weather last summer was
out of flavor. Cattle do not have suffi
cient protection from the hot rays of
the sun. The heat makes them thirsty,
but if the water is not convenient they
suffer and the milk suff ers. That milk
makes bad quantity OF cheese, and it
is not the fault of the manufacturer.
If the water is bad the effect upon
the milk is great. have been able to
tell from the cheese whether the COW
has had plenty or good quality of water.
These circums tances which iniure the
quality of the milk also injure the
quantity. A serious loss occurs from
the method of carrying the milk to the
factory. The practice of closing the

WATER RIsINGs FOR BREAD.-Take a
quart pitcher and spoon, scald them 4;
fill the pitcher half full of boiling wa
ter; let the water cool to the temper
ature of good, hot dish-water; stir in
Hour to make batter as thick as for
pancakes; add quarter -teaspoonfu of
salt and as much SODA; cover closely;
set where it will keep quite warm, stir
ring occasionally; it will rise in five or
six hours. Some prefer this to hop or
brewers yeast.
PoTTED MACKEREL.-Cut off the
heads, take out the roes, clean the fish
thoroughly; rub them inside with lit
tie salt; put back the roes; season them
with pepper and salt; lay them in a

gradually in the other pint of milk al
ternately with half pound of -four
Then, by degrees, mix in milk and melt
ed butter, and a half cake of COM
pressed yeast. Cover he pan, and set
near the fire to rise. Let it get very
light. Have your waffle iron very hot,
and grease the inside we'll with butter.

cloth, tied on the end of stick, is best
to use for greasing, and have the butter
melted. Turn the iron so that the waf
f1es will brown on both sides. Take
them out of the iron with a knife, and
send to table hot. You can butter
them and sprinkle or them powdered
sugar and cinnamon.

The Sioux as Cavalry.
