A Boy, a Woman and a Cow.


IT is now over one hundred years
snce an American philosopher pro-
pounded the query: "Why is a woman
afraid of cowpn and yet no one has
ever succeeded in giving a satisfactory
answer. There is once in while wom-
an who doesn't seem to have the slight
est fear, even when passing a COW with
one horn all twisted out of shape but
follow that woman home and you viii
find that she kicks the dog, cuffs the
children, jaws her husband and knows
how to sharpen butcher-knife and use
an AK. The real woman has mortal
terror of cows, and the real COW seems
to have an antipathy for her.
Friday forenoon a lady was walking
down Cass Avenue when she suddenly
came upon cow. The animal was
feeding on the other side of the street
and the boy sent out to watch her sat
under a shade-tree and played on a
mouth-organ.
The lady halted.
The COW looked up.
"Lost any thing, ma amp" asked the
boy as he removed the music from his
mouth.
"I-I'm afraid of that cow" she re-
piled.
What furP Cows don't bite nor
kick, same as horse. All they kin do
is to run their horns through you and
pin you to the ground"
"Oh! my-she's coming!"
"No, she hain't. She's just making
believe that she wants to git at ye and
hook ye over the fence"
"Oh! but dare not passl"
"Yes, you dare. Cows know when a
woman is afraid just as quick as any
body. The mint you give COWS to un-
derstand that you are able to catch 'em
by the heels and mop the ground with
'em they go to hunting fur clover"
"Dear me, but guess I'll go back I"
"I wouldn't. If yen only spit on
yer hands and shake yer fist at her
she'll wilt right down. Cows Know
who's boss just as we'll as men do. Now,
then, I'll hold yer parasol while you spit
on yer hands"
"Oh! 1 can't-I'm going right
home!''
"Well, my little brother he swears at
'em instead of splitting on his hands.
See if you can do that"
No--no-no! I'm going nowi"
elf l was a woman and l couldn't
swear or spit on my hands, should
carry sword-cane to stab COWS WITH"
observed the boy, as he looked across
the way.
"My soul! but there's another COW
up there!" exclaimed the lady, as she
looked up the street.
"Yes, lots of COWS around these days,
but l never heard of two cows attacking
a woman at once. Iguess one generally
hooks 'em all to pieces first, and then
the other comes up and paws at the
mangled remains. If you"
The lady uttered iirst-class scream
and made jump for the nearest gate.
1t opened hard, and after one pull she
went over the fence and up the front
steps of a strange house, there to re-
main until her husband could be sum-
moned by telephone to come and act as
body-guard.
aid just like to be womap," mused
the boy as he sat down to punish his
mouth-organ some more. I'd carry
bowie-knife down the back of my neck,
and the first COW that tried to hook me
would feel that ere knife playing num-
blety-peg arourd her vicious heart

REST

KNITTING, busiiy knitting,
The dear old grandmother sits,
While through the window in sunshine
Tho lazy butterfly fits
IL lights on the well worn Bible,
Aud sways its beautiful wings,
While the good old grandmother ponders
And swcctly, but feebly, sings.
The hollyhoclxs, tall and slender,
Stand close by the open door,
Like sentinels watchiul and tender,
Their shadows thrown on the floor
The blossoms tempt bees by their sweet
And blush in the light of tho sun,
While birds, in their nests mid the tree
tops,
Cease csroling one by one.
And now she has finished the knitting,
Aud thinking of far away lands
she watches the butterfly fitting,
Aud folded are grandmother's hands.
She dreams she hears little feet coming,
And all her faint pulses are stirred,
For loud DER the sound of bees humming,
The voices of children are heard.
They troop up the garden path gaily,
And rush through the doorway in glce;
But soon, in demurc satisfaction,
Are seated by grandmOther's knee.
She tells them the old time stories,
And presses them each to her breast,
Calls them "Grandmother's dear morning
glories,"
And no one knows which she loves best.
Her dreams change slowly to others
More sad, and yet they are bright,
For three little heads are all shining
Above her, like angels OF light;
And six little fair hands are beckoning
And bright golden gate opens wide,
Where her dear old companion stands wait
And gladly she walks by his side.
And thus, swectly resting, they found her
That day at the setting of sun
With a halo of glory around her,
For grandmother's work was donel

Cheese Making.

PROF. SHELDON, writing to the Rurdl
Ne10 Yorker, says: lin the process of
making cheese, the great bulk of the
milk-sugar is not retained in the curd,
but passes off III the whey; so it follows
that if the whey is imperfectly got out,
a too large portion of the milk-sugar is
also retained in the cheese, and it is
this that is the cause of sweet cheese.
This sugar, too, or portion of it, en-
ters into fermentation in the cheese,
forming, among other products, car
bonic-acid gas, which, in trying to es-
cape, causes the cheese to heave and
become porous. An excess of whey
causes annotto-that is used for color
ing cheese-to be unequally distributed,
so that the cheeseis not of uniform color;
or the Tactic acid formed from the milk
sugar has a destructive effect on the
cOloring matter later on, causing it to
fade and the cheese to become of bad
color The presence of whey and the
fermentation caused by the milk-sugar
cause the cheese to decay without rip
ening, in manner that makes it very
disagreeable and unhealthy article of
food. The necessity of getting out all
the moisture, over and above the guam
tity which the cheese may safely be
allowed to retain, will now be apparent.
This is effected, first, by the cutting off
the curd; second, by pressure; an |
third, by moderate amount of acidity,
where such is employed. Acid ty in
cheese-making is the most c1ectual
means of expelling the whey, but it
must be employed with great caution,
for, though it is capital servant, it is
q bad master.n

CUSTER was the name of a New
foundland dog that belonged to New
Jersey girl. awe trained him to hold
the halter in his mouth and lead the
horses away" she said. "He could
carry two eggs in his huge mouth, and
never break one. He could turn a
knob as well as any one, and on enter
ing a room would always turn around
and put his paw on the door to close it.
If this failed he would jump upon the
door, taking care not to scratch with
his nails. If any one sat down in the
house without doffing his hat Custer
would steal stealthily up behind him
and pull it off, then dropping it on the
floor at the side of his chair would walk
quietly away and lie down, as one who
had performed a duty. We would
wrap few pennies in paper and send
him with it in his mouth to q store for
candy, of which he was very fond.
After delivering it to us he would stand
expectantly by, wagging his tail and
waiting for the sweet morsel he knew
he was sure to get. He was fond of
milk, too, but would carry it .-ithfully
to our pet lamb; and though he would
glance lovingly into the pail occasion
ally, he was never known to betray our
trust or steal one sip of the coveted
beverage"

Outdoor Accomplishments.

IT is great pity that the whirligig of
favor the flower-garden work of ladies
in the good old days of our grandmoth-
ers. 1t is such healthful, pretty and
fitting work for the girls, so rich in its
rewards, and so stimulating in its rival
ries, that we can't understand how nor
NAL young women, who can command
their time and patch of ground, can be
content to either do without the flowers,
or leave their care to "the man." Flow
er-culture ought to rank as real ac-
complishment, and might furnish
pleasing and profitable vocation to many
women who are now stitching their lives
away at starvation wages with needle.
A fashion for producing the finest flow
ers would at least make an agreeable
variation to the mania for dabbling in
art, ;" or doing fancy work, that is just
now spelling so much raw material and
making hypocrites and invalids of the
girls. They don't like it half so well as
they pretend to, most of them, and at
the best it is only another device for
cooping up our already over-confne0
American women.
Flower culture likewise affords pleas
ant relief from the house-work tread
mill. 1t is pretty much all the diversion
that many farmers wives know, and
they are wise to give much thought to
it. The taste, skill and industry of the
daughters of the family can hardly be
put to better use for the coming month
than in devising floral and vinal adorn-
ments for the home. If the porches
and yerandas are not already provided
with vines, don't leave them bare an
other summer. How much finer than
any artificial adornment is the living
beauty of the woodbine's graceful
growth, and the brilliant colors of its
foliage in autumn! While you are wait
ing for this, plant and train morning
glories, honey-suckles, mountain-fringe,
or some of the pretty annual climbers.
A village or country home is shamefully
blind to is privileges that does not have
vine-curtained porch in which to sit,
with its outstanding invitations to the
humming- birds, wrens, bumble-bees and
butterflies.
Then there is the arrangement of
flower baskets to look after. For fifteen
to twenty cents each very serviceable
wire baskets can now be had; and
half-dozen of them filed with expensive
vines and plants will go great ways
toward rendering the door-yard and
house attractive. Or exercise your
skill in putting frames around old
flower-pots-if you won't make them
too % rustic !" we have seen concocted
and patched-up monsuosities that would
scare any timid flower within sight out
of blooming. The flower.beds deserve
separate preachment; but we can't
stop without renewing our word in favor
of a clump of roses-not struggling
bush here and there, but generous
bed that shall fill the whole air with
fragrance, and furnish the garden and
house with a succession of GUNNER
beauty. Rose culture as an outdoor
avocation for girls is at least worthy to
divide the time with croquet or "dress
parade" What do you think about itP

WE often hear the remark made that

1t is equally true that they are masters
Of circumstance, if they will only cope

of circumstance is assurance that he

may mold our destinies, 1t is surely
not altogether an agency by which our
course of life is formed. To admit

Augusta, Saturday Morning, March -
Rx-Gov. Garcelon Before the
Hale Committee.


The appearance Of ex-Gov. Garce.on
before the Hale investigating commit
tee occurred yesterday az expected
He promptly answered all questions
asked, bat some Of the answers tor man
who had been at the head OF the affairs Of
our State were astounding The first
point upon which Mr.. Hale questioned
him closely was in regard to the enlarge
ment Of the committee on elections Of the
Council, The usual number Of that com
mittee is three, and 1t was made up at the
beginning Of the year 1879 Of that num-
Der, the members being Moody. Chase
and Fogg. After the September election,
at a meeting Of the Council in October,
this committee was enlarged by the addi-
ton Of Foster and Brown. The Govern
or stated that he knew nothing Of any ex-
element about the count upto this time, but
although everything was serene and love
ly so far a. he. knew about the count, he
deemed IL advisable, he says, to add two
more men To the commlttee--a step with
out precedent and without reason as 1t
would seem If only fair count was in
tended. Everybody now knows that the two
men thus added to the committee, Foster
and Brown. were the master spirits in the
count-out which allowed. The public
will draw their own conclusions as TO
whether their appointment upon the COM
mittee was with a view to the fraudulent
count which they engineered, or whether
it was done simple a. GarceIon SAYS, for
the purpose Of satisfying the public that
the count would be fair and square. If
for the latter purpose 1t was great fail
ure but If for the former, it answered the
purpose intended so far rs the Council
could accomplish the count-out.
Another point which astonished those
who heard Garcelon's statement was the
ignorance he protested as TO the political
character Of the list Of members counted in
by the Council. He sworc point blank

he solcmnly swore he had no knowledge that
the list contained n fusion majority. Even
Mr.. Hale seemed to doubt the evidence of
his senses Mt the statement of the ex-
Governor. and was only convinced by sew
cral repetitons of the affirmation that
Garcclon meant what he said. Why. there
was scarcely an inhabitant of the State
that did not know immediately after the
list was announced that a fusion majority
was counted in. and yet Gov. Garccion,
although he was ut the head of State af-
iairs and the centre and leader of party
intensely interested in that very fact.
swears that he knew nothing ut all about
twas only intent upon performing his
constitutional duty. Is it strange that
his audience were amazed aud incredu-
