At late social entertainment the
Prince of Wales is said to have car
ried a bouquet of large lilies tinted
with delicate pink and blue, by the
absorption of dyes through the
stems. The dyes do not in the
least affect the perfume or fresh
ness of the flowers. The process is
the discovery of Mr.. Nesbit. 1t is
said flowers refuse to absorb GER
tain olors. Some of the lilies
which had been treated with a pur
pie dye separated the red and blue,
the colors being divided in the pro-
cess of absorptiop.--Scientific

Southern Standard Statistics
show that Tennessee has 100000
worthless dogs What each dog
eats would make 100 pounds of ba-
con, which in the aggregate makes
100000 pounds of bacon. This
would abundantly furnish meat for
100000 able-bodies laborers for the
entire year. At ten cents per
pound the bacon is 100000,
which is equal to 17S,000 pounds
of silver dollars, This would make
wagon train half mile long.
These worthless whelps prevent us
from raising 100000 of sheep, the
mutton and wool of which are
worth $5,OOO,0OO Thus our
blessed dogs cost really $4,000, 900,
counting sheep killed, while we
spend not more than $a,000,000 to
educate our children! Keep it be-
fore our people; eight millions for
dogs and three for children.

Throughout the southern part of
Texas cattle are suffering fearfully
for water, and many of them are
dying. Stock raisers are driving
their cattle to the nearest railroads
and shipping them to points where
they can obtain water They are
compelled to ship, for no water can
be found along the route Of the long
drive. Thousands of them die of,
Notwithstanding the efforts to save
them. 1t has been a terrible sea

Medical News: We have preyi
ously stated that it is improbable
that cholera will reach the United
States this year, but that it is an
even chance that we shall have il
next. Since that opinion was pub
lished, the danger has diminished
very little, if any, and while there
is not the slightest occasion foI
panic, there is very urgent need OF
enforcing cleanliness, of looking to
the purity of water supply and
of great care in the administration

That the industrial employment

That the industrial employment
of women is not regarded as social
ly degrading in other countries is
evident from the fact that, of the
forty girls attending the School for
Training Girls to proficiency in the
art of type-setting and its accesso-
ries at Berlin, all were of good po-
sition socially, being daughters of
landed proprietors, cleygymen, doc
tors, schoolmasters and govern
ment officials. 1t is also note
worthy fact that Queen Victoria's
daughters were taught knowledg e
of cooking, and that for years no
day passed in the palace, without
some article of food prepared by the
princesses being placed on the ia
BILE. In France and Germany and
even in England there are colleges
of gastronomy, where instructions
are given in the art of cooking and
domestic economy generally, and
German ladies of the highest rank
consider their education incomplete
without knowledge of the prepa-
ration Of the various articles of
food.--Leslie's Illustrated.

If,


Itmen cared less for wealth aud fame,
And less for battlefield and glory;
If writ in human hearts, name
Seems better than q song and story;
If men, instead of nursing pride,
Would learn to hate it and abhor it;
If more relied on love to guide,
The world would be he better for it.
II men dealt less in stocks and lands,
And more in bonds and deeds fraternal
If loves work had more willing hands
To link this world to the supernel;
Ifmen stored up loves oil and wine,
And on bruised human souls would poul
it;
If"yours' and "mine'' once combine
The world would be the better for it.
If more would act the play of Life,
And fewer spoil it in rehearsal;
If bigotry would sheath its knife
Till good became moro universal;
If custom, gray with ages grown,
Had fewer blind men to adore it;
If talent shone for truth alone,s
The world would be the better for it,
If men we're wise in little things,
Affecting less in all their dealings;
If hearts had fewer rusted strings
To isolate their kindly feelings;
If men, when wrong beats down the right,
Would strike together and restore it;
fright made might in every fight,
The world would be the be tier for it.

Let Us Have a Creamery.

A number of creameries have
been established within the past
few years in North Missouri, and
with one or two exceptions, have
proved to be highly remunerative.
In Iowa and Illinois where
creameries have been in successful
operation for several years their
value is UNREASONABLE. 1t is no
ticeable fact that in both those
stats the highest priced farms are
found in those countries where
creameries most abound and milk
farming is one of the chief pursuits
The experience in both of those
states shows that the creamery bus
mess may be made profitable as a
cooperative enterprise. If one
should be started in, Vernon,
and there is every reason why one
or more should be started, let it be
on the cooperative plan. Let a
stock company be organized among
the farmers of neighborhood, then
let them select one of their number
whose judgment and good sense
may be relied on and send him on
tour of investigation to the re
goin round Elgin or Rockford, Hi
nois or Cedar Rapids and iowa
City in Iowa. Elgin is the head
quarters of the creamery butter and
cheese trade in the west and we
presume the business is conducted
in that vicinity on the most i'm
proved methods.
An experimental creamery in q
good neighborhood ought to be
erected and outftted at a cost
of $1,000. If the supply of milk in
creases beyond its capacity it may
be enlarged, or another factory es-
tablished in an adjoining neigh
horhood. When established and
put in operation-and there is no
good reason why it should not be
managed by sensible Missourian
as well as by superintendent i'm
ported from another state-it ought
to be kept supplied with the milk it
can consume, and the working of
the establishment made a subject OF
constant inspection by the cooper
alive investors, to insure economy
and prevent waste. 1t has been
proved that milking in a well man
aged creamery circuit will yield 500
or SIS per head for every good cow
milked--and this is much more
profitable than selling raw crops

There are a thousand senseless
items telegraphed over the coun-
try every day and newspapers
squander thousands of dollars pay
ing for them. For instance: 1t
went out all over the country Satur-
day that hog cholera was raging in
Rhode Island and one farmer had
lost 10 hogs. The Nashville papers
paid for this startling item. Right
here in Giles there have been a
thousand or more hogs and cattle
to die recently and these papers

The creamery business of this
state, says the Davenport North
western News, is growing into i'm
mense proportions, There are
eight hundred creameries in opera
ton, and Iowa butter is eaten in
nearly every civilized country On
the globe.
And the beauty of the thing is, in
making a good article of butter we
make that which is wanted by every
man, woman and child in the civil
lied world, hence the demand must
keep pace with the supply. Mis-
souri, must first supply its own
wants, then come to the front as an
exporter of irst-class butter and

String beans can be preserved for
use IN the winter in this way.
Firt string" the beans, then cut
them in pieces about two inches long
and put them in brine of the
strength used for cucumber pickles
that is about a cup of salt to a
gallon of water; keep in a covered
jar. When you wish to use them
take them out and wash them; let
them stand in cold water for several
hours, then scald them; if not fresh
after one scalding repeat the opera
ton. The housewife who contribu-
ted this hint has tried this success
fully year after year, and has never
failed to have what appeared like
new string beans in midwinter. 1t
is very little trouble to prepare
them, and they help to give variety
when it is difficult to know what to
have for dinner.

Cattle are sometimes poisoned by
eating the wilted leaves of the wild
cherry. The green leaves are not
poisonous, but the poison seems to
develop by some chemical change
which takes place during the wilt

cut wild cherry trees and leave the
branches where the cattle can get
them, for strange though it may
seem, they will abandon good
grass to eat them.-American Gull

The proper time to gather the
apple is when the stem loosens
readily from the limb, so also the
proper time to harvest the potato is
when the tubers loosen readily from
the stalk; not when the tops or
vines take on their dry and with
cred look, for such may be the case
weeks, or perhaps a month, before,
the tubers are suf1icietly ripe for

We must always speak the truth.

We must always speak the truth.
Yet we need not invariably tell all
the truth we know. Silence is of
ten golden. 1t is frequently the
part of kindness to refrain from
speech, and the truth about our
neighbor which, DONG no good and
serving no noble end when pro
claimed, serves only to ALLEVIATE his
friends, would much better be sup
pressed. Silence is never golden

time to speak as well as a time TO
