How TO MILK.-A mixer should
learn to milk quickly. Slow milk
ing will iuin any cow, and there is
little doubt that many COWS are
made improbable by bad milking
As soon as the flow OF milk begins
it should lie drawn as rapidly as
possible. Stripping with the fin
ger ard thumb is a bad practice
and should be unlearned at once
and the whole hand used to milk
with. By pcrservering one vii
soon be able to milk very short
teats if the hand is moderately
small, The lest mixers have small
hands strength OF wrist will come
in time.

Charming Girls.

1.-THE popular belief among young
girls Is that it is only pretty face
which will bring to them the admira-
ticn and love which they naturally
crave. No books, it is said, have a
larger sale than those written that
give rules for beauty, recipes to de-
stroy fat or freckles, and to improve
the skin or figure.
Now, no recipe will change the
shape of a nose or the color Of an
eye. But any girl by baths and
wholesome food, and by breathing
pure air, can render her complexion
clear and soft. Her hair, nails and
teeth can be daintiIy kept. Her
clothes, however cheap, can be fresh
and becoming in color. She can
train her mind, even if Of ordinary
capacity. to be alert and earnest; and
if she adds to these a sincere, kindly,
sunny temper, she will win friends
aud love as surely as if all the fairies
had brought her gifts at her birth.
Bat it is of no use for woman
whose person is sOlled and untldy, and
whose temper is selfish and irritable
at home, 10 hope to cheat anybody
by putting on fine clothes and a smile
for company. The thick, muddy ski
and soured expression will betray
her.
John, said an artist the other day
TO a Chlnaman who was unwillingl,
acting as a model, smile.
you don't look pleasant I'll not pa,
you.'
'No use,' grumbled the washer
man. If Chiuaman feelee ugly al
the time, he lookee ugly which
