BRAVE GIRLS.

Tho More There Are Like Them the
lsetter for All Concerned.
We have reason to believe that the
type Of girlhood described in the fol-
lowing extract from an article in the
Christian Advocate may be found in
the homes of many OF our readers; and
the more Of such girls the better:
There is girl. and love to think Of
her and talk Of her. who comes in late
when there is company. who wears =
pretty little air Of mingled responsibility
and anxiety with her youth. WHOM. the
others seem to depend on and Took to
for many comforts. She IL the girl who
helps mother.
In her own home she is blessed
little saint and comforter. She takes
unfinished tasks from the tired, stiff
fingers that falter ut their work; her
strong young figure is . staff upon
which the gray-haired. white-iaced
mother leans and is rested. She helps
mother with the spring sewing. with
the weeks mending, with cheerful
conversation and congenial companions
ship that some girls do not Think worth
while wasting on only mother. And
when there comes a day that che must
bend, as girls must often bend, over the
old worn out body OF mother lying UNI
hcedful in her coffin, rough hands fold
cd. her long disquiet merged in rest.
something very sweet will be mingled
with her loss. and the girl who helped
mother will find . benediction Of peace
upon her head and in her heart.
The girl who works-God bless her-
is another girl whom know. She is
brave and active. she 10 not
too proud to earn her own living,
or ashamed to be caught at her daily
task. She is studious and pains
taking and patient She smiles at you
from behind counter or desk. There is
a memory Of her sown into each silken
gown She is like a beautiful noun
tainccr already far up the hill, and the
sight of her should be fine inspiration
for us all. It's IN honor to known this
girl to be worthy OF her regard. Her
hand may be stained with factory
grease or printers ink. but it is an hon.
est hand and helping hand. 1t stays
misfortune from many homes; il is the
one shield that protects many iorIorn
little family from the almshouse and

A small boy OF ten, who had listened
to the story with eager eyes, as we'll a.

other parts OF Saxony nor in all Ger
many were the banks SO rich As here.
In early days every one had right
TO gather muscles: in 1921 the sover-
eign assumed possession Of the pearl
fisheries. Prince Electoral Johann
George appointed in that year Moritz
Schmirler rs electoral pearl fisher at
salary of 80 forms ($l2) year. An
ordinance of 1901 administered severe
punishmcnts for pearl thieving.
The Schmirler fami.;; were always
connected with pearl fishing. Mo-itz' $
parents arc known to have occupied
themselves with it. Their celebrity for
skill and knowledge in this branch
was SO gre at that in 1740 one Of them
was summoned TO Denmark in order
to investigate pearl fisheries in that
country.
Not long ago three Oelsnitz citizens,
descendants Of Moritz s,chmirler, were
salaried as sworn royal pearl fishers.

and produce. yearly. Therefor they
had to deliver to the Government all
the pearls found. The Schmir!ers
fill the same position to the pr .sent
day.
When pearls were higher in price the
largest Elster pearls were valued at $50

He comes when the candles flicker yellow.
And he does hts work In jaunticst style.
For he lightcns his cumbersome bag OF sand
With . light and brisk and generous hand.
Ho. for the Sandman. merry old ccdgcr.
His aim Is firm and his shot Is crack.
And the sharpesf wilcs OF the nimblcst dOdgci
Can bafiie him never. nor hold him back:
Blue eyes. gray eyes, black eyes. brown,
he powders them soft--and the lids drop down.
Ho. for the Sand man! funny old rover.
He stops the playing and halts the fun.
He doesn't wait till the games aro over
He docsn't care whether the romps are done.
His shaggy old head pokes in, and 10.
Mouths cape wide open and feet lag slow.
Hoi for the Sandman. blithesome old caller.
Mothers esteem him and nurses adore.
For he gathers the children. the big and the

the DAIRY.

Test every COW and SEQ whether

Dairy Commissioners Brown says
oleo will not dissolve in the human
stomach at its usual temperature.
Don't eat it.
"A series Of soiling crops. put in at
the proper season, will furnish an
abundance OF good milk-producing
food, in good feeding condition through
out the entire summer. and until late
in the autumn, when the silos can be
opened. BY this method good low OF
milk can be produced throughout the
year. and where land is valuable, tho
cost Of production will be largely re-
duccd.
A farmer with considerable expert
cncc, says an exchange, who has siloel
clover two years, says II it should be
left to wilt ON the ground for two hours
after cutting. and each days filling Of
the silo be allowed TO heat before the
fresh clover is added. and the sides.
not the center. kept thoroughly
namped. the clover will come out moist
and green. and the cattle will relish it
as thoroughly as summer pasture.
Milk giving is function separate
and apart from beef.making. and to
first induce the beef habit BY feeding
fat-formers, like corn meal, to a heifer,
is to train the heller in that way, and
at last, when COW, and you wish to
.feed her up" the extra food will 90
to beef instead OF butter, and big
loss il met with; for the food that is
turned into butter is sold every day
and there is only one sale for the beef.
In developing cows for butter the
feeder should be sure that he does not
overfeed, but rs he finds they eat with
good appetite, he may add little
more to each feed. and so continue
gradually to increase the feed as they
will bear it. This power OF digestion
will increase. and he may gradually
increase the milking capacity Of his
cows and their production Of butter.
The skill Of the feeder has much to do
with the result.
An Ohio dairyman tells the Dairy
World how he makes his cows COM
Portable in hot weather. He keeps
them in stables. slightly darkened,
through the middle OF the day. Dur
ing this time they eat, he says, but lit
tie. From ten to three o'clock little
fodder corn or green food Of some kind
is kept in their hangers. His expert
ence is that under this treatment tho
llow Of milk is more uniform. and the
cows are certainly much more profit
able.
An argument in favor OF small
cheese, says the Michigan Farmer, was
made by a well-known dairyman at the
Grand Rapids meeting. who said he
had fallen into the way Of using the
surplus curd in the manufacture Of
small cheese. which arc thus of as good
quality rs large ones. and sell at from
| to II cents per pound more than the
large ones. The leftover curd is thus
satisfactorily disposed OF.
Name and breed alone are not the
passports TO high prices. but individual
merit cuts the figure now that its inn
portance deserves. This promises we'll
for future excellence. for when all
breeders begin TO discriminate in the
quality OF their animals, begin to real
ize that it is possible for them to be
purely bred yet be without particular
excellence or value. We will begin to
see a more rapid improvement all along

THE LATEST HORROR
Wrappers for Cigars Now Made OF atel
kye.Straw Paper.

Wrappers for Cigars Now Made OF atent
Kye-Straw Taper.
Among the latest limitations which
have been successfully introduced into
the tobacco trade OF this and other
cities, are cigars. the wrappers of
which are made ont Of specially
prepared paper. A gentleman well
known in the iron manufacturing circles
Of this vicinity was the first to inform
one Of our reporters that smoking ma
terial Of this kind was new in the
market. lie had recently returned
from a visit to Norfolk. Va. where he
met drummer for large tobacco
factory OF New York State This
gentleman informed the Pittsburgher
that he was then introducing an inn
initiation cigar wrapper which was so
deceivisg in its character that experts
could scarcely distinguish it from the
genuine.
This preparation is made from rye
straw. and one portion OF the process
was to steep the material in strong
solution made from tobacco stems. The
grain OF the straw together with the
manner in which the material was
dressed would lead any person to sup
pose that it was a sample Of leaf used
in making cigars of a more than ordi-
nary quality. The flavor of tobacco
was also present, owing to tho paper
having been immersed in the solution
made from the genuine article.
Tho gentlemen subsequently exam
ined cigars on sale in Norfolk and dis
covered that they were made with these
patent wrappers. The samples exam
ined were Of an extra fine quality. The
drummer stated that the firm which he
represented was making tons OF this
material. and shipping it to all tho
leading cities Of the country. Paper
made from rye straw is the only kind
that can be successfully used for that
purpose, as all other kinds Of paper can
easily be detected by the smoker. The
new material is also used for filters in
certain classes of cigars. It is very
cheap and can be sold greatly below
the price paid for genuine leaf.
A well-known tobacco salesman In
this city, when asked yesterday II CT
CARS Of tbat kind were sold here, re-
piled in the affirmative. He had seer
numerous samples and they were very
hard to detect.

this kind was news to them. They fell
that its success would be short-lived, a.

ceit, and then mighty effort would b,
made to drive cigars made with bogu

KEEPING BUTTER SWEET.

1TcoNOO ~ INV ITOCGots
The agricultural editor OF the New
York Times says every dairyman who
is - expert at his business has heard
of DevOnshirc cream and butter. The
.'clouted" or thick cream is sold as
luxury To be eaten with fruits or pies,
or it is made into butter which has the
reputation of exceedingly long keep
ing. In the journal OF the Bath and
West OF England Society. recently pub
lished. is an account of this cream and
butter, and the value Of the process in
fine dairying. There is nothing new
in it. but ii recalls at an opportunc
time a subiectof much interest to dairy
men. The process is as follows: The
milk is set in the ordinary way in shall
low pans for twelve hours. The pan is
then set in hot water or a steam bath
for twenty minutes, until the milk is
hot and the cream ''crinkles." but 10
not suffered to boil. Ito be precise,
the temperature is $50 degrees, but we
do not know this is SD given in any
| work on dairying,) The pan is then
returned 10 the dairy and remains
twenty-four hours for the cream to
rise completely, The cream is then
quite thick, and. If churned, makes a
very sweet butter which keeps a year
without change, the heat having dis
sipated the volatile oils which. by their
decomposition, produce rancidity.
There is trouble. of course, in doing
all this, but there is a compensation
for the labor in having butter which
will keep sweet for months.
