That the COW is much influenced by
affection for human beings is certain.
Every one who has had much to do

milk most freely when MIXED by per-
son whom she likes, whereas she will
not give it as well, or even withhold it
altogether, if the mixer is a stranger
or any one for whom she has an aver.
sion; consequently, it is most important
thattall her attendants should be lnvari-
ably kind, gentle and patient with her.
In our childhood there was in the herd
beautiful little Alderney, with whom
we were on intimate and atfectionate
terms, and who, after calving, firmly de-
clined to be MIXED. The dairymaid
bel g in difficulties, the present writer
went to her assistance, and found that
the COW would remain as quiet IS possi-
bic so long as we stood by her head and
caressed her; and after we had thus as
sisted for the first once or twice when
she was MIXED, she became quite recon-
ciled to the operation and never after
ward gave nany mort trouble about 1t.
At that time we were on an excellent
footing with all the COWS, tarongh con-
stantly taking them pieces of bread, ap.,
pie paripgs and similar luxuries; and
also through having discovered wherea-
bouts they most enjoyed having their
faces, necks, heads, ETC., rubbed, pattted
or scratched; The consequence Of this
was that they used to greet the arrival OF
their friend amongst them cordially, and
we we'll remember the horror and dis
may which this once caused to a German
coverness. We were crossing field on
one side of a hill. when the herd caught
sight of us, and came charging toward
us, tossing their heads with joy and ex-
citement, and slipping and sliding down
the steep. slope IN their hurry. The
poor governess imagined that she was
surrounded by mad bulls, and gave her.
self up for lost, and never again could
she be induced to. trust herself in the
same field with what she persisted in
regarding as dangerous creatures, from
whom she had had most lucky escape.

Skylarks Disappearing.

Il An enormous decrease in the number
of sbYlarks in Scotland and northern
England has been complained Of recent
ly. Mr.. Edwards, q Scotch naturalist,
has published an essay in which he at
tempts to disprove the popular theory
that starlings or meadow-larks cause the
mischief by breaking the eggs in the
nest and by killing the young, That
the bill of the startling is capable OF de
stroylng the eggs he admits, but he rid
icules the idea of its destroying the
young, and he does not believe thai the
starlings are to blame. He attributes
the evil chiefly to the increase in cattle
and the taking in of waste ground for
agricultural purposes. "As a rnle," he
says, "larks do not breed among hay,
corn or barley. For ole nest have
known in such places, | have, / may
safely say, found a dozen in meadows,
on pasture lands and on waste ground
Now, for one COW or OK that there were
years ago, there are about score at
present, Is it not possible that the great
increase of these animals may have some
thing to do with the decrease of the lark
by tramping on their nests or maltreat-
ing them have myself, whilesearch-
ing in clover fields for moths and in
grazing grounds for beetles, come across
numbers in recent years so destroyed.
Pheasants, partridges and other ground
breeding birds also suffer sever ely. Be
side we have cattle and sheep now, but
More particularly the latter, put into
%oods and plantations to eat down the
herbage there" In conclusion, Mr.. Ed
wards protests very earnestly against
the destruction of birds nests and the
trapping of song birds by men and boys,
by which thousands of birds are destroy
ed every year. .. ...

A Wealty Michigan Family.

A party Of Detroiters who were fish
ing for brook trout on the Boyne river,
and camping on it's banks, ran out of
supplies, and au envoy was sent out to
beg, buy or borrow something until an
order sent to Traverse City could be

reached a loghouse in the woods. A

ture was all home made, the tableware
consisted entirely of tin dishes, and only
one bed was visible. The envoy stated

Romance Under an Umbrella.

One day, during the Summer of 1919,
the Due de Berri happened to be taking
walk in Paris with his wife; and they
were returning toward the Elysee when
a heavy rain shower came on. The two
promenaders, being unproyided with
umbrellas, took refuge under porte
cochere already tenanted by a young
man with the appearance of clerk who
had an umbrella. When the storm had
somewhat abated, the Due de Berri
stepped up to the young fellow and asked
whether he would mind lending the
umbrella to enable him to take his wife
home. The other was suspicious and
decidedly objected to parting with his
property on any conditions. The Due
persisted, but finding that there was no
homes of obtaining a loan OF the coveted
object, he asked its owner whether,
though not having sufficient confidence
in him to lend it, he would mind lending
the lady his arm as far as her residence.
The gallant young clerk willingly agreed
! to do so, and of the Duchess and her
escort accordingly started. The latter
individual, very garrulous by nature,
soon opened a conversation by the query
as to whether his companion lived in the
quarter they we're then in. "Quite
close to here" replied the Duchess. ut
is splendid quarter, Madame, plenty Of
luxury and very CONNIE il faute. La
fact it is the grandes danes quarter,
with nothing but Duchesses and Mar
quises in it with their dresses all worked
in cold" "Quite so" "I don't know
whether Madame has noticed the fact,
but generally the less elevated a persons
grade of nobility the higher the floor he
or she occupies" '"There is some
truth in that" gravely responded the
Duchess gHa.s y.s %, aun bua b..
"For instance" pursued the theorizer,
"you will usually find Viscountesses end
Baronneses on the fourth floor, and if
MAZDA me happened to be a v Viscountess
would wager that know the floor on
which she lives-the fourth that is y
"Not low enough, sirl" said the ady,
ooh, we'll then, Madame is very likely
| a ContesseP Lower still" observed
bis companion. /" Indeed, Madame
must be d Mar1uise, then ~ .qGeried the
astounded clerk, "MY floor is lower
yet" replied the Duchess, who had
found it very difficult to avoid laughing
outright. just at this moment they ar.
rived at the Elysee, the guard, OF
course, presenting arms in due form.
The proprietor Of the umbrella felt in
clined to shrink into himself, and'was
beginning to ssammer out some excuse
when the Duchess cut him, short by
thanking him very heartily for the ser
vice he had done her, stating that she
would not forget it. The young fellow
returned to mis- employer wealthy man
of business, and recounted his advent
ure. not quite recovering from the, to
him, unaccustomed effect Of the society
of Duchess for the remainder of the
day. Before the expiration cf week
he received from his quondam aequaint-
anae of the Elysee an umbrella richly
adorned with silyer.oas.lsesrrprss-s.

THE Ei'HEATA MEETING.
The Democracy of the Northwest.

A"U hchsOSAnCE VI sAC <>OEIAWcbts
A spirited meeting of the Democrats OF
Ephrata was held yesterday, the stand
being erected opposite B. n. Winters's
occasion. The Reamstown band presently

came with their band and banners. About

eloquent speech. lie was followed by G..
W. Barton, of Philadelphia. The meeting
adjourned for supper and was reorganized
at G:45. w. L. Hensel then spoke for
about tlircc-Yuarters of an hour aud a
torchlsht parade was lad through the
village. The evening meeting was
very largely attended and was adj
dressed by Richard Broadhead. esq.,,
of Eas;on, son Of the late cx-
L. :. Senator Broadhead, j. l.. StcinmetZ,
A. J. Stcinman, Jere. MOhler and others.
They were listened to with interest and
enthusiasm and the whole spirit of the
mcetin" marked the interest of the Demo-
cracy OF that section in the success of their
national, state and local candidates. The
Indiana result has only stirred them to
fresi, effort and renewed courage. Under
the lead of the Messrs. Mohlcr, Lebcr,
Winters. Cricl, Hertz and other gallant
Democrats, Ephrata and her neighbors
make good fight for the good cause.

and confidence are what they need, but
the manufacturers press the tariff issue +
the forefront theirs be the responsibility
Of all that ensues.
In conclusion Mr.. Apsar exposed In
OUTRAGE business of the Repub
lican campaign shirekers, and closed witt
an eloquent prediction that united New
York. forgetful Of past factional strife
would lead the Democratic column ant
with Connecticut and New Jersey elect tn
Democratic candidates.
Mr.. Apgar spoke for an hour and three
quarters and was attentively listened to
and point after point of his telling arsu
ment was raptuously applauded. Thougl
suffering from severe indispositlOn hs
spoke in his usual incisive style, and hi:
lapier thrusts at Republican sophisms were
as keen as the cut Of a Damascene blade.
Mr.. Lagens Speech.
Mr. Chas. A. La.eD, Of the Philadelphia
bar, u prominent young barrister of that
city, native Of Lancaster and son Of Mr..
Daniel Lagen, was introduced, and though
the hour was late his first words com.
mandcd the attention of his audience and
hc held it fiXedly to the end of his speech.
He pictured the relief afforded to Pennsyl-
vania in the dark hours of the rebellion,
when troops hurried to her succor sent by
the Democratic governors of Democratic
New York and Democratic New Jersey.
ICEccrs.l That WAS her situation to-day
and thence would come her relief and
the election OF her fayOrite son. The
Eight has changed. 1t is now for
Grant On the Republican side, and
should Garfield be elected the inauSura
ton exercises will open not with hymn
See4, but with the 3OGth. The stalwarts
who went down at Chicago came up at
Mentor. The Republican campaign for
1880 is the Republican battle for Grant in
1884. For this federal marshals are en-
pioyed, for this capital is set against labor,
ior this intimidation of voters is resOrted
to. Heretofore there was one day in three
hundred and sixty-five when the en-
p'oyce was the equal of the employer,
and that was election day. (Applause.)
The Democratic party proposed to see
that this should continue. The Republi-
can party's pretensc of friendliness to the
workingmen is as naked as it is false. Gar
field denies the letter in favor of cheap
Chinese labor, but his denial is not very
valuable, while at the same time his
congressional record confirms his let
ter and not lis vague contra
lictiOn OF il. Mr.. Lagen read from
Gartield's congressional record to prove
that lie favored Chimes labor in competi-
tion with American. Mr.. Lagen continued
at length in powerful denuEciation of the
tricks and fallacies of Republican dema-
gogues and closed with an eloquent appeal
t" Pennsylvania for Pennsylvania favor
ite son. to whom her confidence had been
given i'll the past and by whom it had never
been forfeited. 1t was 11:1O when Mr..
La@cn closed and the court house was
well-iiIlcd to the conclusion Of his speech,
the presence OF some Democratic ladies
lending inspiration to the occasion.
Altogether the meeting was one Of the
most successful and spirited Of the cam
paign. 1t bo::es we'll for the Lancaster
Democracy. Let it he followed with
general turnout.
