upon mountain grass and Alp roses alone,
is all mistake. Not one pound in fifty
is produced on the Alps. Morning and
evening the milk is brought TO the cheese
factory land there is one in almost every
village, where it passes examination, to
see if the delivery did not come in con-
tact with a spring or river. If it is
found right, the cheese-maker enters a
credit on his book for so many pounds
At the end of the year after the cheese
is sold, the milk dealer receives the
amount for all milk he has sold during
the year.
The most common complaints of little
pigs are diarrhea and colds. The former
is caused by giving the SOW improper
food, or q too sudden change of diet, or
by irregular feeding, or from want of
pure water and fresh air. To cure this,
as a general rule, no medicine will be re-
quircd. Change the food of the mother,
and let her go out into the air, but let
the little pigs remain quiet in the pen,
and see that they are warm and comfort
able. 1t is also important to keep the
pen clean and well ventilated Scatter
some dry earth about the pen to absorb
the offensive gases Scald the pig troughs
with boiling water, and make them sweet
and clean. Let this be done every day.
The introduction of the Dahlia into
Europe is said to have been due to the
culinary research of Lady Holland.
Having eaten and enjoyed Palestine
soup" somewhere in the south of Europe,
and learning that one chief ingredient
was the Jerusalem Artichoke, she pro-
cured root of it, as she supposed, and
sent it to her gardener at Holland House
At first she was not little disappointed
when beautiful flower appeared instead
of a succulent vegetable but the value
of her acquisition began to be realized
when London florist who came to see
it offered her thirty guineas for root

Phrasing In ChOir.Singing.

The Church Journal recently quoted
from Leslie's Sunday Magazine a story
illustrative of the necessity of distinct
enunciation in singing. The Brooklyn
Monthly matches it:
A little girl, who was slightly i'll,
asked her mother to sing something nice
and pretty to her. What shall
singY" said the mother 60, sing that
pretty hymn about Sally and George"
said the little girl But l don't know
such hymn" eyes, you do; you
often sing it-about Sally Comfort and
George Turner, you know" The
mother sang over the familiar hymns
until the delighted child exclaimed :
CHATS it! That's the onep'
The particular verse that had fixed
itself in the mind of the child, and
proved source of so much qualification
to her, was this:
otis religion that eangive
Solid comfort while we live
IT'S religion supply
Joys eternal when die"
We were at church the other evening,
where the choir consisted of leader and
a half-dozen ladies, and where the music
was well rendered, with the exception
of enunciation and phrasing. They sang
with much vim and enthusiasm:
Once for Rollol-Sinner receive It,
Once for Rollo!-Brother believe it."
The same choir gave the well known
refrain of "Title Clear"
My Godmi--heavenmi-ya-a-a-
Godm--heayenmi--yawl'
precisely as we have indicated.
This carelessness in phrasing often
leads to an utter perversion of the sense,
as in the lines:
He saw me ruined by the fall
He loved me, Notwithstanding ALL"
in the last line of which we have heard
sung:
"He loved me notwithstanding ALL

Swimming Across Niagara.

The Niagara Falls Gazette says: The
feat Of swimming across the Niagara
River below the falls has in it 80 many
elements of danger that peculiar credit
has always been accorded its accom-
plishment. Within a comparatively
short time, however, numerous persons
have successfully crossed the turbu-
lent stream, and even some small boys
have demonstrated their ability to ac-
complish the perilous trip. Recently
two boys-Willie Flynn and an adopted
son of Mr.. Sully-swam from a point
below the gasworks across the river and
back with apparent ease. At one time
the boys were enveloped in the thick
foam on the surface, and were com
pletely lost sight of for few moments.
The successful accomplishment of the
feat was loudly applauded by their nu-
merous comrades who witnessed the af-
fair from the American shore.

GLEAN1Nos FROM THE MUSE.



Miss Maggie O'Keefe was beautiful girl
From the sole of her foot TO the little black curl
That she used topin on with queer little twirl
Right over her aquiline nose
Her lovers she surely could count by the score
Aud for aught that know there were nyriads more
Who ceased not in silence Miss X to adore;
And soshe bad plenty of beaux.
Well one Of these lovers she'd known all her life,
Twas an understood thing, she would soon be his
wife:
Whom the war sounding notes of the drum and the
fife
Went ringing through city and town.
When the President called for the first volunteers
Her lover enlisted, think for three years.
lie went as high private, and then il appears
That his stock soon began TO so down.
For shortly after he went away,
Major De Boot appeared one day,
On special service--thati is 10 say,
He there detailed to recruit.
Quite gorgeous, the major in figure and face,
Mustaches as long as clcrgyman's grace;
And every young lady and girl in the place
Was wild over Major De Boot.
Maggie frequently thought of her absent beau,
But priyates were then at discount you know,
Whiie coioneis and majors were all CONNIE il fault,
AS the story would seem to prove.
private was only an awkward galoot
50 Maggie o Keefe married Major De Boot,
lShe found him sort of a second-cass brute),
But a " major" OF course she could love.
For year or two everything went quite well,
They lived on in style at the best hotel,
And the major continued most awfully swell
While holding his proud situation.
But when the war ended and peace was made,
They mustered out she entire brigade,
At which the major wasquite dismayed,
For gone was his occupation.
Then the major looked round for something to do;
He must be good for something, he knew,
SO he started off home for Kalamazoo,
Though Maggie felt bad about going,
His pride very soon was run into the ground,
And driving horse car the major soon found
calling which gave him chance to be round
While Maggie his wife, took in sewing.
The private whose suit for her love had been spurned
With glory and honor soon after returned,
And n big pile of money twas said he had earned,
BY n fortunate speculation.
AS he rides about in his coach and four,
And passes sometimes by Maggie's own door,
She regretfuly thinks OF the days of yore,
And her own bad calculation.

The Beautiful Banks.

A woman was observed skulking
around the foot of Woodward Avenue
in Detroit M. Quad says), as if she de-
sired to conceal her identity from people
on the ferry boats. She finally concealed
herself behind post, and after an hours
watching she suddenly walked aboard
one of the boats just landing. On the
promenade deck middle-aged man of
good address was talking to two women
who seemed to be strangers to him. He
had been calling their attention to the
cool breezes, playful ripples and dane
ing sunshine, and was just asking them
If the green banks on the Canada side
didn't remind them of the quaint old
ruins along the Rhine, when the woman
who had been skulking around came I'D
behind him and landed cuff on his ear
that made him gasp for breath.
"Pintin' out the scenery, are yOu!"
she exclaimed, as he reached for his hat.
" Left home on drunk three days ago,
your family out of provisions and the
baby sick, and l find you down here
with all the style of Duke, pintin' out
Canada to strange womenp
CT was"
" You pint for homep' she inter
rupted, "and if you even think of dodg-
ing into an alley I'll yell 'murderp and
turn out the whole police force"
He gave one last lingering look at the
Canada shore, and went down stairs,
logged around buggy, and shot down
the wharves as if fired from gun.
"Never mind % she remarked as she
stood on bale of hay and watched his
flight" he'll have to have a change of
paper collars before the week ends, and
it'll be just as delicious to get my fingers

morning! When | get through with

ON cIAl Information.

by {. W. yoN COELLN, STATE SUPT.
Many questions which are submit
ted for official opinions from this de-
partment, are of more than local inter-
est; with your permission, | will give
them in your journal, for the benefit
Of Iowa readers, especially county
superintendent school officers and
teachers.
l. When the boundaries of cities
and towns are extended, the bounda-
ries of their respective school districts
are correspondingly extended.
Territory attached to an indepen-
dent district by the extension of city
limits, becomes at once part of the
independent district.
Taxes certified before Sept, /, by the
directors Of the old district, become
null and void, and the board of the in
dependent district certify the taxes
for the annexed territory.
2. Insurance and the putting up of
lightning rods are precautionary
measures against possible loss by the
district, and acts to provide this secu-
rity come legitimately within the pro-
vince of the board of directors.
3. When scholars under the provi-
sions Of Sec. 1898 attend a, graded
school, the following should be the
basis of arriving at a just proportion
Of the expense: Each grade or room Of
a graded school where pupils attend
must be taken as the basis for COM
putting the average tuition; the contin-
gent expense is computed for the
whole school.
Sec, 1896 provides that newly
formed sub-districts commence their
operation with the month of March.
The moving of a school house to ac-
comodate the change of boundaries
must necessarily be delayed until the
change in the sub-districts takes effect.
5. AS soon as an officer is aware that
he holds over he should qualify anew,
according to the provisions of See. 800
code 1873.
6. That the teacher and parents have
joint control over Children on the way
to and from school as well recogniz-
ed principle. The teacher ought to
secure the cooperation of the parents
in such matters, if possible, to avoid
the continual friction caused by this
joint control.
I. A contract with teacher approx
ed by the president or the board of di-
rectors cannot be rescinded. The
teacher will recover his pay after

The protectionists Of Canada and the United
States seem to have got things sadly mud
died. In the United States they want a pro-
tective tariff to keep Canadian goods from
competing with American manufactures; and
In Canada they want a similar tariff to pre-
vent the home market from being ruined by
the importation of American wares. That is,
Ii these tariffs were mutually abolished
American goods would drive Canadian goods
out of the Dominion, and Canadian goods
take the place Of our home manufactures in
this country.
In Canada, however, they are more insane
on this subject than we are, and really don't
know what they do want. Sir John A. Nc
Donald, leader Of the Conservative faction,
which favors protection, made speech at Co
burg in favor of "a moderate and sufficient
protection to Canadianindustry, and another
ut Nepanee, forty miles away, in favor of ere
ciprocity of tariffs"
