Some Very Old Buttermilk,

I know q man who drank some OF the
Oldest buttermilk ever heard of. He
lives in Tennessee. One day he and
some others were asked in great hurry
to dine ut the house of neighbor, with
a promise that the company would be
treated to one of the rarest drinks ever
tasted in all the ages of the world !
This proved to be buttermilk, brought
to table in Jug. It had been dug out
that same morning from well which
had caved in thirty years before. At
that time the Jug Of milk, safely corked,
was hanging by rope far down the
we'll, to be kept cool; and there it had
stayed buried for thirty years. All who
drank of the buttermilk said it was de-
icious.-& Nicholas.

worn with any low eoifure. The high,
est mode gives q narrow, three~forked,,
baIl-headed affair, and the ponisrd, with
one ball or cross. shaped hilt, carries
out the same ides. This finishes high
head-dressing with fine effect. So long
AGO as when Rachel was in this country
it was la haute mode, ano the great
tragedienne wore at q dinner poniard
of gold in her jetty hair, in which were
set three diamond solitaires.
"LA SURPRISE. - Only the ultra
fashionable will venture to wear this,
the first hat of the season. It is best
suited to carriage wear. To walk the
street with it would be hardihood in
deed; and this, not because either its
material or trimming is eccentric, but
because of the adjustment of the feather.
This feather is three quarters OF q yard
long and is attached to the forward part
of the brim on the right side, and simply
hangs from that "proud eminence," !"
curling down upon the shoulder. The
effect is that OF its being detached by a
high and unreasonable wind from the
main body of the hat, and OF its hanging
thus almost apart from it without the
wearer's knowledge. The hat is Of the
" mousquetaire Louis XIV" shape,
either garnet or navy blue velvet, and
the plume is white, or very light. As
associated with suit of gray silk, trim
med with either garnet or navy.blue, it's
effect is good, or would be, could the
eccentricity of the feather be lost sight
of.
Already novelty in sun umbrellas is
introduced and commands attention.
The "Pekin satin stripes" harmonize
with the satin stripes in alternate bright
and dull shades, now the leading fashion
in dress goods, and is novel, tasteful
and elegant material for sun umbrellas.
Those of Pekin silk, with satin stripes,
are shown in blue, brown and black and
those in cardinal are very effective for
the carriage. The cotton "Pekin stripes"
with silk finish, come only in black.
This material is fine, resembling closely
those in silk, and is decidedly superior
to the boiled twills at half the price.
The handles are varied, including carved
ivory, gold mounted, pearl and ivory
combined, celluloid, white and cclored,
in perfect imitation of coral, she'll, NAL
achite, etc., and those mounted on
VENTILATED handles are exceedingly
attractive. e.-Ne,D York Herald.

stranger that she called timidly Mr..
Fitzallan, and Jack and her guardian
had greeted at the house as Herbertl
At last there was pause in the talk.
She gave deep sigh, prompted by a
sad longing to do right, vague fear, a
first suspicion of the change that was
coming over her impetuous heart.
care you cold, Madge?" asked Jack,
pulling away and bending to his strong
stroke. "Keep your shawl we'll about
your shoulders. And, my dear girl,
look to your steering. You have been
sending the boat into curves like cork
screw-only did not want to disturb
your tete.a-tete."
Poor Cousin Jack She drew the
white shawl closely round her, chilled
not by the wind, but by sudden pang
of remorse, the foundation of which was
very small, but enough to trouble her
peace.
What need to tell the inner history of
Madge's life during the next few weeks ?
More and more she longed for freedom.
Fitzallsn was staying in The neighbor-
hood and was frequently at the house,
and in the thousand little incidents Of
everyday life she knew he cared for her,
and honest Jack grew yet more distaste-
full in her sight.
In due time came the second promised
pleasure. The family that distinguished
the name of Jones by the prefix of Pom
sonby gave their party. Madge was in
her glory that night. But the trivial
triumphs and pleasures of the night
were long forgotten by Madge before
she lost one remembrance of scene
that passed in the conservatory, where
the music was hushed by heavy cur
tains, and there was only the soft light
of a few dim lamps among the masses
of blossoms and dark green leaves. She
had lost the flower from her hair-one of
her favorite camellias-as she said,
"with darling bud," and Fitzallan
had promised, with Ponsonby-Jones
permission, to get her another with
darling bud too. She had placed his
gift in her hair, and she sat near the
dewy glass, saying it was cool there and
she would rest. Fitzallan stood at
little distance, penknife in hand still,
swinging carelessly the fan-like leaf of
a dwarf palm.

BLANKETED CATTLE.

-. +. S." These cattle are descend
ed from Dutch stock imported into this
country long time ago. Several names
have been given TO these cattle as ''Belt-
ed" "Sheeted," "Draped," etc, all
founded upon the leading characteristic
namely: broad band, or belt, passing
around the middle of the body while all
the rest is black. They arc excellent
mixers, and are found in considerable
numbers in Orange county, New York.
q noted dairy locality: and when seen
there in herds, are marked features OF
the landscape, which even the unobserv-
ing traveller could not fail to notice and
admire. In Holland this peculiarly
marked breed is preserved with great
care. An engraving of pair Of these
cattle was given on the first page of our
journal for December. lS77.-.imeyica,l

AMERICAN HORSES IN EUROPE.

The bushes OF exporting horses, SO
successfully begun in this country, for
tunatcly meets with favor in Engirnd.
The following remarks from the eng
lish Live Stock Journal" may be 10th
interesting and instructive, as pointing
out needed Improvement in our stock
Of horses, and one which has frequent
~ been cnjoine by the American Agri-
culturist. Our horses are too light for
much OF the English heavy work. In
England, tools. and vehicles are heavy,
and clumsy, and rexuire heavy animals
10 move them. English riders, too, are
in general more corpulent than Ameri-
cans, and saddle horse needed for that
country, must have stout limbs, strong
back, and shoulders; points which have
been neglected in the breeding Of our
trotting or road horses. Our road
horses are unexcelled. Our English CO.
temporary has the following TO say on
this question:
..Of late a considerable has been done
in importing horses from the United
States and Canada. The North Metro
politan Tram-ways this is the name
given in England TO all horse railroads.
imported more shan a thousand. They
were full Of quality, with fair, and in
some specimens fine action. There were
pairs well worth $3.50 to a dealer, but
they have not weight enough for tram
work, and are being superseded by the
French horse of the class so LARGELY used
for the last five years by the London
Omnibus Company. Unless the recent
fall in prices stops the trade, the United
States will send Us Il great many high
class horses-of the sort Yorkshire used
TO breed. In the States they have plen-
ty of mares of the right stamp for hunt
ers, hacks rnd harness; they have thor
oughbred sires 10 keep up quality; they
have boundless pastures Of good grass
and maize al very cheap rate. On
the other hand, they have no idea 81 the
proper make, shape, and action of a
riding horse, or Of breaking for saddle.
All their horse talent has been directed
to producing fast trotting harness
horses, these they understand perfectly.
But they are the quickest people in the
world TO learn a new trade if it pays.
They will learn to pick out mares and
sires with riding shoulders and strong
backs. thighs, and hooks. Their horses
have size, quality, good temper, and
sonnd constitutions TO start with. With
these advantages the Americans will
soon ill up the blank in horse stock Gre
aied by the competition Of beef and
mutton in Yorkshire and Ireland

INTERESTING AND IMPORTANT

Figures will be found in our market
reports. From the port Of New York,
alone. the exports of wheat from Janu-
ary TO November II reached the enor-
nous and unprecedented amount of 3d.
1901 bushels, and an equivalent i'll
flour of about 10 million more bushels,
or n total of over 20 million bushels.
During the same time, nearly 10000 600
bushels of corn, and 1867 ,48s bushels of
rye went out TO foreign lands-over a
hundred million bushels of grain from
one port. Much more will continue TO
go. and more would have gone, had not
speculation run prices unwarrantably
high. At fair, rc,nunerative prices, all
we can spare-and that is a good deal
ye;-will be taken by Europe; too high
prices will check foreign consumption,
and very materially diminish the de-
mand. In return for these exports gold
stil pours in upon lis from abroad, and
enters into all channels of trade, pro-
noting the general prosperity of all
classes. -i1yicnHaTia.
