An entertainment was given by th'
Ladies' Aid Society on Christmas
night in the Mt. Lebanon M. Z. church
A very interesting program was fully
carried out by the young men an(
ladies who took part in the exercises
The program consisted of vocal and in.
strumental music, dialogues, tableauz
and declamations. The two clergy
men, the one a "hard shell. Baptist, .
the other a colored brother, could not
well be surpassed.
The dialogues were we'll executed,
although "Tilda Gunpowder" did dror
her bard-box on tn floor and smiled
rather loud. "The Dutchman who
went out to set the hen," was also very
good. Two declamations: "The Baron s
last Banquet, and "The Indian 8
light canoe, were we'll rendered by
James Davis and William Clark
" John Jenkins sermon" by Marcus
Clark was another important feature of
the evening. Some fine music was
given by Mr.. Albert Lance. Numerous
declamations were given by the Sunday
school scholars. Many humorous as
well as pathetic tableaux helped to fill
out the progam.
Simply to thy Cross 1 cling, though
solemn, was admired by all present.
After the exercises on the program
came the Christmas tree, which was
very beautifully decorated with pres
ents for the scholars of the Sunday
school. The part of cold Krlss" was
well performed by Mr.. Dillman. Al
though the weather YVES not at all
pleasant, there was fair sized audi.

A STRANGE FUNERAL

One of the strangest funerals on rec
ord was that of DR.. J. S. Ford, of Hag-
erstown, Ind, which occurred at West
Sonora, o., recently. He made a cast
iron-will giving his widow $40, 900. He
also left sums of 5000 and $500 each to
all the women who are now maids or
widows whom he courted in his unmar-
ried days This required $4,000. Notes
outstanding on people who would be
pushed to pay them he destroyed to the
amount of $4,000. The hired girl and
all his wife's relatives were remembered
in small sums Two weeks before his
death he employed and paid the Rev. Mr..
Shackleiord, of the Methodist Church,
$50, and the Rev. Mr.. Warrington, OF
the Christian Church, SIS, to officiate at
his funeral. Immediately after this he
sent for the railroad agent at Hagers
town, and chartered train of one bag
gage and three passenger cars to take his
remains and ITO friends to his funeral
at West Sonora, O. He paid for this in
advance, and also sent cash to the best
hotel in West Sonora for dinner for the
entire funeral party. Not detail in the
| funeral was forgotten, even to the flora
tributes. His orders were fully carried
out, and when his body was laid in the
ground no one in the world had claim
of cent against his estate, and no one
| owed it cent.

DIFFERENT BREEDS FOR
DAIRY.

The Toronto Globe gives the following
as the conclusions from experiments at
the Ontario Model Farm, as deduced from
Professor Browns last report:
An average cow for dairy purposes
should give 20 pounds of milk per day
during 200 days every year; pounds OF
cream for every 100 pounds of milk; 45
pounds of butter from every 100 lbs. CT
cream: and fully 10 lbs. of cheese for
every 100 lbs. of milk. Bulk, volume,
or per cent of cream is no safe criterion
of the quantity of butter in that cream
weight alone is the proper mode otJudg'
ing, Breed, as muchsif not more than
food, affects the quantity and quality OF
milk, butter and cheese. In Ontario Elk
perimental Farm experience, the Short
Horn is an average mixer, short in dura-
ton per season, low in specific gravity,
high in percent. of cream, prOportionately
high in butter, and also high in cheese
production. The grade of this breed ap-
breaches the nearest of any others to
what is called general purpose COW"
The Aberdeen Poll is low in quantity of
milk, and the second highest of any in
specific gravity, The grade of this breed
is much improved in milking properties
giving a greater weight of cream, tho a
lower per cent of it. The Hereford is
not more prominent than the Short Horn
and Aberdeen Poll in regard to milk,
except in proportion of butter for cream,
in which it is the highest. The grade is
very prominently in advance, particular
" in proportion of cream, but one of the
lowest in cheese. The Devon is most
distinct in highest specific gravity milk,
and the weight of cheese from milk. We
have no experience with the grade ofthis
breed.
The Galloway milk appears to be of a
peculiar texture-rich, or so very small
in butter globules as to rise very slow
ly, and very indistinct in the test tube.
The Ayrshire is particularly heavy
long mixer. giving five times her own
light per season; The milk is some
what low in specific gravity and per
cent. of cream, but is over the averagesin
cheese production. The Ayrshire grade
is not improved in any respect, except in
duration of milking season.
The Jersey is remarkable for proportion
of cream, averaging 80 per cent, and Civ
ing a value of dairy products incompara-
BILE to any other breed in our experience.
The native, or common cow of Ontario,
not Canada properly, because Quebec in
particular stands distinct in her class of
dairy cows, takes high place in value
of annual produce for ordinary dairy
purposes, and along with the Short Horn
grade, is peculiarly the dairy cow for the
country.

AFFAIRS AT THE SPANISH COURT
The infdelities of the gay young King of
Spain continue to be general topic of
discussion among Spaniards, says the
London correspondent of the New York
Sun. It is held that Queen Christmas
German asceticism has suffered an incur
able wound, and that hereafter their
Catholic majesties will live apart. Her
Majesty, they say, is a German blue
stocking of the highest cultivation, fine
mechanical musician, linguist, and per-
fectly amiable, but slightly arctic in tenn
permanent. Alfonso's favorite, on the
contrary, is a Spanish beauty, whose ac-
complishments are more of spontaneous
order. One thing appears to :..be quite
assured-the young King will not be
cured of his predictions, but means to
be a merry monarch, and in the pursuit
of his bent will have the approval of his
people, who regard the present affair as
the most agreeable joke they have had
since the palmy days of Isabella. Senior
Arano. the editor of the Liberal and a
member of the Cortes, was a confdant of
Queen Christina, and espoused her cause
in his paper; and it is said that two friends
of Alfonso. the Duke de Tamanes and
the Count de Benalua, called on him, and
proposed to slice OF his ears if he did not
convert himself to different views. The

ABOUT THE HANDS.

Hands are divided into three different
kinds-those with round pointed fingers,
those with square tips, and those that are
spade-shaped, with pods of flesh on each
side of the nail The first type, with
round pointed fingers, belongs to charac-
tiers with perceptions extra sensitive, to
very pious people, to contemplatiVe
minds, to the impulsive, and to all poets
and artists who have ideality as promi-
nent trait. The second type-those that
are square-shaped-belong to scientific
people, to sensible, self-contained charac-
tiers, and to the class of professional
men who are neither visionary nor alto
gether sordid The third type-those
that are spade-shaped, with pods of flesh
at the sides of the nail-indicate people
whose interests and instincts are mostly
material, people who have genius for
business, and who have high apprecia-
ton for everything that pertains to bodi-
" use and comfort. Each finger, no
matter what kind of hand it is, has a
joint representing each of these types.
The division of the finger that is nearest
the palm stands for the body, the middle
division represents mind. and the highest
joint spirit of soul. IF the top joint is
longer than the other it denotes char
acter with too much imagination, great
ideaIity, and of leaning toward the theo-
retical rather than the practical. When
the middle Joint of the finger is long, it
promises logical calculating mind-a
very cCmmon-sense kind of a person; and
when the lowest joint is longest, it indi-
Gates a nature that clings more to the
luxuries than to the refnements of life;
q mind that looks for utility before beau
ty. If they are nearly alike, and espe-
cially if the joint of the fingers equal the
length of the palm, it indicates a we'll
balanced mind.-Ne.o York Home Jour
