What Women are Doing and Think
ing.

Gall Hamilton. while considering the
selfish devotion of Carolina Herschel to
her brother, thus briefly summarizes her
opinion of the sex: "Oh! why do the
heather age and the people imagine a
vain thing? As if any learning, or fame,
or principality, or power, or things pres
ent, or things to COME could make out of
a woman anything but a woman"
Lucretia Mott, who has just passed her
Seth birthday. is said to ascribe her
longevity, with excellent bodily and
mental health, to her simple mode of liv-
ing, her continual self. restraint, and her
constant intellectual activity.
The empress of Japan takes great in
terest in the silk spinning and other in
dustries of the country, and it has been
stated in the native papers that the tea
shrubs growing in the garden ofthe inpe-
rial palace at AKasaka were picked in the
presence of her majesty, the empress,
dowager by 100 girls, all of whom were
for the occasion dressed alike in holiday
clothes, and were further RECALLED with
cakes and tea at. the conclusion of their
labors.
Miss Lee, the eldest daughter of the
late Gen. Lee, is said to be an energetic
traveller. She was not long ago enter

Gibraltar, and during the late wa was

Tea,

The addition: of a few drops of lemon
juice, or Of any other vegetable acid, rem
ders tea more exciting; and this custom
prevails among poor Chinese and many
Russians. The addition of an alka|i, on
the contrary, makes tea less stimulating,
and in some measure narcotical. In the
East some drugs are put into tea to give
it aphrodisiacal qualities. Tea excites
the movements of the heart less than
coffee, is less hostile to sleep, and is less
fit to sustain intellectual labor; but more
than coffee it increases the eliminatlve &C.

many persons tea produces an astringent
effect on the intestines and q trouble

few drops Of generous wine can prevent

Keen the Cows Healthy .

1t is now generally conceded that milk
unduly retained in the udder of the COW
is absorbed. The flow is decreased, and
the animal gradually goes dry. Once
this. process begins, it is next to lmpossi-
BILE to bring the COW back to her full flow.
This is not 81 bad, however, as to allow
the bag to become infamed, and thus
poison the milk. This beng the case
the milk should never be used. The milk
may not show signs of faint to the eye;
it may sven taste we'll, or 20 nearly right
as not to cause alarm; and yet it will
faint the entire mess, and in the end the
whole will become little better than poi
son when made into cheese, since then
the putrefactive process still goes on. If
the COW shows any tenderness or redness
about the udder, or if it be hard or swol-
len, discard the milk until the animal is
again all right. Through this care Ger:
tain dairymen are able to get extra and
uniform prices for their butter and cheese
and especially for the milk sold for fam
lily use. In the end they make the most
money, for nsum and reputable deal
ers are apt to be shy of those who have
from time to time sold them such milk,
or it's butter and cheese.

thrown upon the stage. Kean was tu-
multuously Kissed all the time and the
widest discords prevailed, and yet it is
said Of the 1000 persons in the house
three 'tourths were in favor of the actor.
Lis second night there was less OPPOSE
ton, and the remainder of his nga
ment was but a repetition of his earlier
tr4umphs. At Boston, however, where
nc tried to play December 81, going there
direct from this city, he was driven
from the stage and the theater. a mob
filed the building and although the riot
act was read twice, the theater was
damaged to the extent of about $500.
Kean never dared show his head there
again. He wrote several most abiect
apologies, but he wa a Droken-down
man. Before describing his ALBANY en-
gagement (Which must be deferred till
our next article)it may be said briefly
that ne appeared for the last time in
America December 5, 1926, at the Park,
in New York. On returning to England
ne found his popularity had vanished.
In 1888, after a heightened retirement,
he appeared in Othello, with his son
Charles as 1ago. There had been a
| quarrel between them, and this was the
reconciliation. There was great excite
ment; the house was crammed. Kean
went through his part "dying as he WENT
until he came to the Farewell" and the
strangely appropriate words "Othello's
occuPations gone" when he gasped for
breath and fell into his sons arms moan
ing:"1 am dying-speak to them fol-
me!' The curtain went down, he was
carried home and in a few weeks was q

the most vigorous precautionary measures
for counteractlng the spread of the ter
rible disease have been adopted by the
German Government. Detachments Of
soldiers have been despatched to the in
fected districts in order to strictly watch
and superintend the execution of the
laws and regulations adopted for this
purpose; and also to completely isolate
all the cattle of the districts in which
any outbreak Of this malady has been
discovered. Arrests have been made OF
persons supposed to have introduced
these infected cattle from Russia.

if all the rest of the stationary wash
basins or sinks in the house are in use,
this is all the more reason why the one
not in use should be the most dangerous
one in the whole house, It is perfectly
EASY to understand that exactly the me
phitic gases will be formed and escape,
because there is no water to absorb them.
Plumbers will tell you, and wisely, that
a current of hot water, from time to time,
should be sent, even in warm weather,
through all the basins in a house. The
reason is simple. Quite solid deposits,
made Of soap or animal greases, coat the
pipes, which are only dispersed by hot
water. A kitchen sink, though much
hot water be passed through it, because
it receives much grease and vegetable
matter, always wants, both in Winter and
Summer, some disinfectauts.

The Home in Spring-'Time.

With the return of Spring and warmer
weather, it is not too early in common
use. It should be remembered that the
first action of the Summer in our temper
ate climate is not to be considered at all
in proportion to the actual heat de-
veloped. There is. a peculiar chemial
action in the u rays, which, most
especially in the Spring, appears to
engender rapid decomposition. Nomat-
ter how thoroughly a house is construct
ed, Indifferent as to the skill of the
plumber, necessary %precaution should be
exercised. Automatic traps, no matter
how %ingeniously contrived, will lose their
selt-regulating powers, and as they are
concealed, no one car ever tell at what
moment they may really be doing
more harm than good in the house.
Just as soon as cold weather is over, a
careful housekeeper should examine the
condition of the cellar. If there be leaks
or admission Of moisture in the cellar, it
is more likely to be visible 10 that the
furnace Is nc longer in operation than
during the Winter. It is all well to look
carefully at the exact places where the
drain-pipes from the closets enter the
cellar. In some cases these may be built
into the wall and are not visible. Good
architects, with sound sanitary views,
hold in horror any contrivances having
to do with the health of the inmates
where there is no chance of seeing or
knowing whether deleterious gases are
being filtered through the house or not.
Many a sad accident occurs in a house
where the fault is sought below the
ground, when it actually exists midway.
All typhoid fever does not exist in
badly drained neighborhoods. Its spora-
die character mag often be traced in good
neighborhoods, in carefully constructed
houses, from the careless indifference of
housekeepers, who will not keep their
eyes about them. Cellars should be we'll

accumulation of ashes may hide or keep
in allegiance a mass of corruption, caused

malaria when warmer weather sets in.

the free use of water, wherever it is
found. Flushing a room wherever there
is a wash basin, even if it be an untenant-
ed chamber, should never be neglected,

Why does the bud that is near to its breaking
Wake sweeter smiles than the fully-blown
rose?
Why does the dream on the verge of awaking
Stir deeper truths than a deeper repose?
Why does the love that is broken with parting
Lift itself higher by the fulness of pain?
Why is the incomplete rapture of starting
Close on completion we never attain?
Why? For q %boundless unsatisfed longing
Lies deepest down in the warm human

Ever with this are the sympathies thronging
Ever by this do the heaven-lowers start.

Devon Cows - Makers.

through the Country Gentleman the milk

Lady D0lly's Fan.

Spread out against the opposite wall
is an old fashioned fan; very big, very
heavy, and c%uriously painted with scenes
of love courtship. It belonged to an
ancestress of ours, who was q lady-in-
waiting to Queen Charlotte, and daugh-
ter of. the Ranger of Exmoor. Lady
Dolly-that was her name--appears to

young Devonshire Squire named Blake.
