The Boss nIilkmaid- from Coulson Bottom.
Helena tMontl Herald

A Yellowstone dairy hand struck on his
employer and quit work on the difference of
$40 a month wages. Yesterday he rolled in
through the bottomless mud on the west
ward-coming coach, and to-day was looking
about town and lnquiring the nearest cut TO
the Prickly Pear milk ranch.

the crowd.

There is a brisk demand at home for West
ern butter, and the shipments TO Eastern
points have largely fallen off within the
past three weeks. The fact is one tor con-
graduation among Western dairymen,. who
are saved the expense of shipments and at
the same time enabled to keep up their rep
utation among the people who know them
most intimately. Grass butter of the highest
excellence is coming forward freely, al
though prices as yet are held ratheS. above
the sveTsge at this season of the year. Con-
gressional action upcni the subject Of oleo-
margarine and the prospective tax upon
bogus butter has tendency to keep up the
price of the genuine article, and it is not
likely that good creamy will be offered al
lower than existing prices for several weeks
to come.

IncompatibfIity of Temper.

New York Herald
A short time ago a married couple in IIli-
nois, who had lived together forty years and
given the world bakers dozen Of children,
disagreed so seriously that the wife sued for
divorce on the ground of incompatibility
OF temper. rare coincidence of profes-
sional decency caused counsel on both sides
TO agree upon an endeavor to reconcile the
couple, and the Judge promised to assist.
so when the case was called each client de-
clared the willingness of his client TO do
whatever was honorable and proper. the
Judge followed with manly address, and
suddenly the husband and wife arose shook
hands and departed together and for home.
Thousands of divorces might be prevented
in the same manner. for in conjugal life in
compatibility of temper is merely a LEGAL
term for indefensi BILE seIfiShness and a mere
instant of fair feeling will compel it to APP

A Faithful ELEPHANT.

There is beautiful story of an old ele-
plant engaged in battle on the plains of In
dia. He was a standard-bearer, and carried
his huge back the royal ensign, the rally
ing point OF the Poona host. At the begin
ming OF the fight he lost his master. The
mahout. or driver, had just given
him the word halt when ne
received q fatal wound and fell to
the ground, where he lay under heap of
slain. The obedient elephant stood still
while the battle closed round him and the
standard he carried. He never stirred a foot,
refusing either 10 advance or retire as' the
conflict became hotter and fiercer, until the
Mahrattas, seeing the standard still flying
steadily in its place, refused to believe that
they were being beaten, and rallied again
and again round the colors. And all this
while, amid the din of battle, the patient
animal stood, straining its ears to catch the
sound of that voice it would never hear
again.
At length the tide of conquest left the
field deserted. The Mahrattas swept on in
pursuit of the flying foe, but the elephant,
like a rock, stood there, with the dead and
dying around, and the ensign waving in It's
place.
For three days and nights it remained
where its master had given the command to

Mutton for Market.

A visit to the droveyards of our large cities
will convince all skeptics that either the
breeds are kept for wool or the inferior kinds
only are marketed. While the sheep has,
no doubt, received its share of improve
ment, there is still room for further advance
in the size and quality of most of those that
are every year driven through our streets to
the yards. Many of them are of the worst
kind of scrubs, and II is a surprise how any
farmer can afford to breed them, as such
stock shows a system of extravaganza in the
breeder that could not be afforded by those
who endeavor to make their sheep profitable
or their farmsproductive. The English butch
ers, who have critical customers. always DIS
play the dark legs of the Southdowns on
their legs of mutton, when such can be pro.
cured, as the buyers know the advantages
possessed by that breed as mutton sheep,
They breed in England for mutton rather
than for wool, but as improvement in one
direction leads to improvement in other
ways, so, we may say, the wool interests
have not been overlooked across the water.
There is no stock more easily or cheaply inn
proved than the sheep, as single ram is
sufficient for quite a flock. Some farmers
are inclined to think that the fine breeds
are not hardy, but this is a III stake. They
need perhaps, more attention, but this
should not be objected 10 on well-regulated
farms. Our common stock should be crossed
with Southdowns, and occasionally, for a
further change, with Cotswolds. Such cross
ing will give finer and better muttons as
we'll as increase the yield and quality of the
wool

Economical Table Cover.

By the following method simple, cheap,
and yet very pretty cover for table or stand
may be quickly made. A heavy double
faced canton flannel is now manufactu red,
in various colors, having the nap on both
sides, and is on sale generally. Either this
or the single-faced can be used, but the
double-faced is preferable on account of its
extra thickness. The shade can be selected
to match the furniture. When cut TO
suitable size, it is bordered with a contrast
ing shade of the same material of any de-
sired width. But this is best made of the
single nap flannel, as the double would be
little clumsy. The border is cut of double
width and folded so as to leave the fold for
the outside edge, and stitched on. To cover
the seam, sew on strip of velvet or vel
veteen with cross or feather stitch of filon-
celle, OF contrasting shade; gold is prefer
able. This comes in all colors and costs but
little, and each thread can be split into two
or three threads.

Whoever places much dependence on the
strainer for securing clean milk will never
make gilt-edged butter. Allowing dirt to
get into the milk and then depending on
the strainer te get it out is a poor apology
for cleanliness. More or less of the dirt, es-
peciaIly everything of a soluble nature and
some that is not, will find its way through
the meshes of the strainer.

When we read of the great Dalrymple

The cause is plain to the one who has
