On tine jefferson avenue line, the
other day, a mau with an umbrella and
a woman with g basket were the only
occupants of a car for several blocks.
The man not only stared at her, but
rested his umbrella on his chin and
took a long look. She was first ner-
yous, then vexed, and by-and-by she
cried out:
"Why do you stare at me IN this
rude manner"
IL am not staring at you TO be rude,
madam, but simply to study you.'
"Weil, l want you 10 stop it,"
Certainly, madam; but l assure

Butter and Cheese.


Can any one tell what dairying is
drifting TOP We hear of all sorts of
queer monstrosities, from lard-cheese to
cotton butter. No man knows what he
eats if he buys it. Stimulation Is the
spirit Of the age and no end of science
end skill is employed to deceive. A
clever imitation is what men prefer to
produce, and the public are led to de-
YOUR. The simplicity of genuineness is
out of the running, as things 90 in the
world. The public must eat what is
given them, asking no questions. The
oleomargarine men have done terrible
lot of mischief, and offal is the god
whom they delight to honor and exalt.
At all points they aim to circumyent the
dairymen and swindle the public.
The taste of the people is degraded
by the sham butter and cheese which
seems to be real. Mems stomachs now
a-days are sepulchres for strange abomi-
nations which they ignorantly rather
than innocently swallow. This sort of
thing is leading them they know not
whittier, and posterity will pay the piper.
1t is no longer that which cometh out Of,
but that which goeth into the mouth that
defiles. Meats and drinks of many
kinds are not what they pretend to be.
and there is a good deal of '.tricks that
are dark in what passes for dairy
goods.
Whose fault is this? Well, in a great
part the dairymen' for they have spoiled
good milk. They have given an opening
for the shoddy men of the dairy, who
are growing rich out of offal. The law
complacently lets men sell what they
like, and the sham is often enough better
than the real one Shoddy sells we'll
enough to be carefully made, and so the
makers of counterfeit butter and cheese
do flourish. Dairymen who make In
ferior butter and cheese, no matter how
real the goods may be, are out of the
running entirely. If only the palate of
the public is suited. it matters not if the
article be real or pretended, so careless
dairymen can hardly make ends meet
and tie But one thing is clear; the
makers of really first-class cheese and
butter can hold their own and will hold
their own against the nefarious stuff that
is made IN any and every country. The
wedding out process is going on, and
goods which are mere simulations will
take the place SO long occupied by the
the products of milk that was spoiled.
If, then, the oleomargarine business, the
melted tallow and ether less credtable
things shall result in bringing about
thorough reform in dairy methods, we
shall have reason after all to be grateful
to men for whom few of us entertain
feelings that approach to respect or affec-
ton Rut LET the public have fair prO.
lection. let them know what they buy;
then the dairymen will win-if they want
to, and if they don't the fault is their
own. ~--Prot. Sheldon, in IoWa Home.

Everybody in Midway, KY, knows
old Med" the children's dog. He
formerly belonged to the late Mrs. Mar
garet Buford, but as there were no
children at her house he came to town
and took up his abode at Mr.. S. n.
Rogers. He goes 70 school with the
children every morning and remains
there all day. When they 60 out to
play he goes, too, and is quite expert at
catching ball; indeed, in a game, he
takes the place of child. When the
bell rings he is the first to run into the
school-house, and when the classes are
called up to recite he takes his place in
line at the foot. After the child next
above him has recited, he answers the
next question by an intelligent bark and
bow OF the head. Should question be
missed by the child at the foot of the class
and passed to the next by the teacher,
Ned will answer it in his peculiar
way. Spelling seems to be his favorite
branch Of study, his answers in that be-
ing exceedingly quick and vigorous.
Although he turns the children down.
after his fashion, he never goes above
them. He will fight for any OF the pupils.

that he had forgotten the crevice. In
December the number of occasions was
twenty. During the month of January
she spoke OF it twenty-five times. In

matter at each meal, and the other day
she nailed him down with the remark:
