BridGepOrt's New Catholic Church.
The plans for the new Church of the
Sacred Heart in Bridgeport are in the hands
of the pastor, Rev. Father Cremin. The
structure is to be of Philadelphia pressed
brick and &othic in style of architecture. Its
dimensions will be 145 by 68 feet, exclusive
of two vestries at the rear on either side
each to be % by II feet. On one side, in
trent, a spire will rise to the height of 40
feet The interior is to be finished in q
somewhat elaborate and pleasing manner. To
correspond with the style of architecture the
ceiling will be groined and ribbed, with
proper ornamentation. The whole ediice
will present an extremely neat appearance.
The plans were designed by Mr.. Houghton,
of Brooklyn, a church architect. The con-
tracts have not been given out yet, but

whsn shou1d q Cow go pry7

There is such a thing as burning a
candle at both ends. One may easily do
this in the dairy, and while the good,
easy man" thinks he is making a good
deal of light at the same cost, suddenly
his candle may go out. This kind OF
thing may go on when one milks the
COWS up to the time of calivng OF near
it, and even encourages it by feeding it
for that end. But then it may not.
And it is the dairyman's business to
know all about it and take any general
rule for his guide. There is no rule
without a multitude of exceptions, and
these are as numerous as times, places
and circumstances; and as circum-
stances alter cases, sc the reply to the
question we have put above depends
upon circumstances. There are COWS
that will not go dry, but will milk from
calf to calf. Is the dairyman to worry
himself and the COW in useless defiance
of her natural habit? By no means,
He must suit his case to the
circumstances, and reduce the milk
yield as much as possible by
milking C a day perhaps and COM
pensate the COW for her extra burden
by giving her more feed up to a safe
limit. What this limit may be depends
wholly upon the ability of the COW to
BEAUTIFULLY digest and dispose of the
food. And no one but the intelligent
owner can say what this limit may be
for it will vary as lows vary, and no two
cows are precisely alike. AS long as
the COW is in thriving condition, not los
ing flesh or making fat, the limit is not
reached.
But as a rule, to be contracted and
expanded iudiciously and safely, it
might be said that a COW shouldbe dried
off six weeks before she is due to calve.
That up to that time she should be lib
orally fed in the usual manner; that
thenceforth her food should be cur
tailed or even changed to dry hay; and
if her condition is reduced somewhat so
much the better. It will make it safer
for her and the calf. The milking may
be done once a day, or not wholly com
pleted, leaving a little in the udder.
We have even taken a little milk sever
al times a day from a COW in this con-
dition, with the effect Of rapidly drying

FARM, FIELD And PRESIDE.
A Large Rutter Dairy.

o. M. Tinkham, secretary of the Yer
mont Dairyman'sA Association, has visit
ed a farm in Pehnsyl vania, owned by
Jessie and Jared Darlington. The farm
contains $50 acres, and the herd consists
of $50 COWS of no particular breed.
Their feed is bright clover hay cut and
mixed with an equal quantity by weight,
of corn-meal and wheat bran, about
eight and one-hslf pounds of each. The
milk is separated directly after it is
brought in, the operators being run by
an engine in the creamery, and the
cream set aside in the ans to ripen, as
the late fashionable phrase is, or, in
plain United States, to sour before
churning, which is done twice a week;
and in cold weather a little sour cream
IS left in the cream can to hasten the
process. The cIurn is made of cedar,
barrel shaped, except being of uniform
size and with three narrow slaves pro-
jecting inside. The butter is washed
by pouring cold spring water into the
churn after the butter milk is drawn
out and before the butter is gathered"
1t is worked by hand, not sailed by
guess, and after standing about an hour
is re-worked, Jumped and printed, then
put away in the coolers to be shipped
next day. The prints are half-pound and
pound Jumps, each wrapped in muslin,
and are shipped in galvanized iron cans,
in cedar tubs, With icein warm weather,
and holding from a pound and a half to
seventy pounds of butter.
Their average product is about twelve
hundred pounds per week, and it is
sent to philadelphia, New York, Bos-
ton, Washington, etc, andthey are now
sending to families which have been
supplied by their father and grand
father for seventy five years. The les
son in this for the dairyman seems to
be: Careful feeding, the making of a
uniform article the year through, and
getting a good reputation for your
butter. By this is meant the making of
a good article and getting it to the
consumes with the knowledge of where
it is made.

Storing rurs in summer.

"When we put furs into storage for
the season." said a furrier recently,
"our first care is to beat them thorough
ly with rattans to drive the dust out,
and get rid of the moth eggs that may
have been laid in them or been blown
into them from the air. This done,
They are hung on wire frames that dis
tend them, and put into closets that are
lined with tar paper. Moths cannot
stand the strong odor of tar, and never
live long under its influence. Every
three or four weeks the furs are taken
from the closets and beaten with rat
tans; and so, in the course of the sea-
son, every article has to be handled at
least a dozen times. In oldtimes cam
phor was used; but it has been discov-
cred that it had a tendency to detract
from their color and make them much
lighter in hue. I suppose there il
something in the dyes used for sable
and other dark furs that camphor in
huences. Old women still use that
drug. however; and when you see
q S6alSkln SACK VI ClOdh VI
dolman that shows streaks of
gray or a muddy yellow, you can
be sure that it has been kept in
camphor through the hot weather. The
whole secret of keeping furs is to beat
all the dust out of them and keep them
in a close closet impregnated with the
odor of tar. Another old preventive
was pepper, either cayenne or common
black, but this has been abandoned;
and some good housekeepers used to
keep their furs in tobacco cuttings. l
have seen moths flourish in tobacco;
and, where / have seen insect powder
used, they have sometimes injured the
furs in some way, or have been totally
useless in guarding them from their
bitter foe.
another desideratum in stroring
furs is strict cleanliness. We wash all
the closets every spring with water and
common washing soda, and the latter
serves to destroy any moth-eggs that
may have got into the place. Thus
our closets are never invaded by the
moth; but should we show carelessness
for a single week the result would be
disastrous. Muffs, collars, and other
small articles we keep in boxes, pack
ing with them sufficient taxpayer to
keep out the moths, and the shelves on
which they stand are always kept free
from st."-Popular Science News

The Rusty Pillow

If you have a very rusty plow," says
a writer in the Concinnati Times, pour
about eight ounces of sulphuric acid,
as purchased at the a~pothecary's, into q
quart of water; do this slowly and very
carefully, for it will burn hands, cloth
ing or almost anything else; also, use
an earthen or crockery vessel rather
than a tin or iron one. Apply this to
the rusty surface two or three times,
making each application as soon as the
former one is dry. Then wash with
clear water and repeat the process.
Give some of the worst spots a rub
with a bit of Bristol brick, wash again
with water and wipe dry. Put a little
kerosene around the bolts and take the
pillow to pieces, securing each piece to
get off the remainder Of the rust spots
if necessary. This sounds like a for
midable process, but the whole opera
ton ought not to take ove an hour.
Oil all exposed surfaces with kerosene
when you set the pillow away, and when
you do your spring blowing a very few
turns will finish off the balance of the
rust"

Rome. Probably it is familiar to mauv-
but there may be others who have never
read it. These ladies make a stiff paste
OF rye flour, and covered their faces
with 1t on retiring. In the morning
they washed it off with milk they never
used water), aud applied a little powder
if it was deemed necessary. This, we
are told on good authority, is really the
best method of improving the complex
ion that has eve been used, either in
ancient or in modern times. The rye
flour is said to positively draw from the
skin any marks that may have fingered
on it. Moreover, it makes the complex
ion charmingly soft-an effect which
the milk helps to produce. Several
Partisan bellies adopted this plan, and
it is rumored hat the Empress Eugene
tried it. At all events the ladies who
are known to have followed the receipt
Of the Romans are also those who have
been celebrated for their lovely skins.
In spite of the opinion of the clever
druggist, this is doubtless very efica-
cious in softening and bleaching the

Grapes in the sick-room.

DIR. Harrison of Cannes recommends
grapes as valuable liet in fever. The
grapes contain a considerable amount of
hydro-carbonaceous matter, together
with aquantity of potassium salts,a COM
bination which does not i~rritate, but, on
the contrary, soothes the stomach, and
consequently is used with advantage,
even in dyspepsia. While considering
the carbohydrates contained in the
grape, we must not neglect the organic
acids, particularly t~artaric acid. DIR.
Harrison thinks the nourishing inau-
ences of these acids too much neglected.
It is indeed known that they are
changed to carbonic acid in the blood
and are excreted as carbonates in the
urine. Possibly careful research might
show that, under some circumstances,
the organic acids are changed to fats.
DIR. Harrison believes that the organic
acids should be ranked with the carbo-
hydrates as foods. When fresh grapes
are not to be had, raisins OIL diluted
wines must be used.

How Roman Women Beautify Their Conn

Compilations differ very much with
the climate. The English have beyond
a doubt, the most beautiful compilations
in the world. American girls possess
more beauty of feature perhaps, but
their compilations are not nearly sc fine.
As n goes farther south toward the
equator, one sees darker skins and dark
er hair and eyes, for all these physical
characteristics have reference to climat-
ic influences. Upon two things the con-
dition of the skin depends--oil and col
oring matter. The skin of a very old
man or woman, for want of oil, becomes
like wrinkled, dried-up parchment; an
Albino has scarce any coloring matter
in his hair eyes or complexion. To

Things We read of; But Never See.

Philadelphia Progress.
It reads almost like a fairy tale, be-
cause such acts of spontaneous kindness
are rare, and yet it actually happened q
few days since, under my own observa-
ton in aChestnut street toy store. A
small, ragged boy, about 8 years old,
stood in the doorway eying wistfully a
large-sized velocipede. A sweet-faced
lady in the doorway caught sight OF the
longing in the child's face, and going
up to him asked: "Would you ike
very much to have that velocipedeT
The boy only looked at her In open
eyed wonder, and in answer to the re-
peated question stammered Eyes" Inc
lady walked up to the counter, inquired
the price of the velocipede, laid down
the money for it, and calledto the child
to come and take the coveted treasure.
The little fellow grasped it boldly In
his arms, almost sobbing for Joy, ana
ran out of the store as fast as he could
with his precious burden. .

Sailing Butter.

A correspondent of the Breeders Ga
zette says: One morning last summer
two or three friends met at my dairy.
While there the question was raised
whether butter gained or lost by sailing.
The cream of the herd was placed in
two churns and churned simultaneously.
Butter came first in the smaller churn,
coarse-grained and yellow, and was
washed in several waters, worked dry
in a butter worker, and weighed. 1t
was then sailed, the salt being weighed
in, one ounce to the pound, was re-
worked and reweighed. It was a strict
" gilt-edged article, and was imme-
diately packed for shipment. Here are
the weights:
Unsalted, well-washed dry butter. ........1L06
Sailed and reworked. ....................lL8
Loss in ounces. VI
Particular attention is asked to the
other churning. The butter came too
soft, but of excellent color, and was
treated precisely like the other sample
except that it was too soft to be passed
through the butter-worker, and the salt
was worked in, and the water and brine
apparently thoroughly worked out by
hand:
Unsalted, well-washed soft butter. -, .2803H
Sailed and re-worked. .29O4H
Apparent gain.........."..........lW
This sample was too soft for packing
or making into rolls, but to q casual OBJ
server it would seem about as dry as
the other, and to need only cool
ing in order to be marketable. But my
dairywoman at once pronounced If full
of moisture, and insisted that it be put
aside and re. worked the next day. l
therefore took charge of it, and next
morning it was re-worked and weighed
again, making only 26.0St Of strictly
marketable butter.
Here we have an apparent gain in the
first instance of seventeen ounces, but q
final loss from original unsalted weight
of twenty-seven ounces, and from the
extreme sailed weight, while soft, of
forty-four ounces, nearly n n and
one and a half ounces to the pound re-
spectively. This is a rather extreme
case.
Subsequent experiments led me to
the following conclusions:
LIST. That if the butter is worked I'M
washed, or is washed in clear water, it
will lose by sailing, and the loss will
average from one-half ounce to one
ounce to the pound.
I'd. That # it is washed in a brine of
moderate strength, it will gain by salt
ing, seldom, however, as much as one
half ounce to the pound.
Sd. That if washed in a very strong
brine it will gain about the weight OF
the added salt, but will contain quite
too much salt to be a first-cluss table
butter.
