Tho YOnng ITnn flat WINS.

A certain brutality of manners,
adopted from the English, is affected by
some of our young men. They answer
hnrshly, affect not to see lady to whom
they owc tivilities, and try 10 become

be frowned down; it is the fault of mcdi-
ocro men, But, as Houssaye says:
"4Oung men arc moderate nowadays,

excess; they cut grooves for thci, voices
to run i'll. They arc 6OUycriS, who
carefully avoid fatiguing, much more cx-

He Was There.

A correspondent of one of the London newspapers, writing from Moscow of the coronation ceremonies, says: "I was not one of the favored correspondents admitted to the cathedral during the sacred ceremonies, but l stood outside in the magnificent assemblage of guards and courtiers At the conclusion of the ceremonies the procession moved out of the cathedral to the sound of music and the waving of banners, I caught sight of the Czar as he came down the steps, and I thought had never seen on his face before such an expression of sadness and weariness. He was carrying his crown in his hand, having replaced it with 8 neat plug hat which set off with good effect his gorgeous robes. As he passed by me there was temporary halt in the procession. He turned and recognized me. His eye lighted in moment The shadows left his face. He winked in the drollest manner imaginable, and leaning over toward me said in most excellent English I'm 8 hard man on a dusty road The procession of glittering sorrow moved on and I did not see Aleck again for two days"

What Fire is Destroying.

"Fire is good servant but a bad mas ter," says the proverb. There are few who have Ifot seen it as master, and known what it is to helplessly look on and witness the vanishing into air of a house or barn and contents that have cost say round thousand dollars. Think of hundred such fires, of two hundred of them, or enough to destroy whole village of considerable size. Now imag- inc four hundred and fifty (45O) such villages, or enough to place one every mile between New York on the Atlantic and Buffalo on Lake Erie, and all on fire and destroyed. Yet this would be no greater ss than what has, on the aver age, been occurring every year in the United States and Canada for eight years past, at least-or $72O. 100000. Take good care of the matches, the careless use or storage of which has been the most fruitful cause of fires.

The Farm Dairy.

In order to compete with the proprie- tors of large butter and cheese dairies, farmers have been obliged to give more attention to their own resources for making a good quality of butter and cheese, and only such as do this need hope for marked success. Good COWS, we'll watered and we'll fed, will produce good milk, but this is not all. Good milk must have proper care and intelli- gent treatment, or it will not produce fine butter or cheese. At this time of year, and later, there will be much co m- plaint about taint in milk, and this de- feet is largely attributable to the COWS drinking impure, stagnant water. We'll watered, means having plenty of good, pure running water. Cows should also hot weather. It is not strange that & can of milk is occasionally spoiled in 8 seemingly unaccountable way when it contains pailful of milk drawn from a COW in an overloaded condition. Cows should not be hurried or worried in going to and from pasture, and when milking time" comes, let the "thorough work" of cleanliness begin.
 In the average farm dairy, too little attention is given to the management of milk. The introduction of what may be termed 'the homemade creamery sys- tem," has proved wonderful boon to many farmers. Such as do not invest in the patented creameries, need some ar titicial method for keeping the milk and cream at a proper temperature. A neighboring farmer has for several years kept milk in cellar-tank, which is SUD- piled from an adjoining pond of pure water. Into this water tank, cans 20 inches deep, are set so that the water comes to within two inches of the top. and they are left uncovered, to allow the animal heat to pass off. A thermom- eter, occasionally plunged into the water enables him to regulate the tenn perature, which should be at about 62 degrees, and as result, the cream rises, to depth of from two to three inches, ill the can. The tank was built, and water conducted to it, at d small expense, which has been amply repaid, as the quantity of cream greatly exceeds that produced by the old method, of setting in shallow pans. By some such means as this the farm dairy may be made profitable adjunct to general tarming.- Agricutt,u'ist.
