Another Baby"
BY KATE NJ. CLEARY.

lin Good Housekeeping.I
When the wild winter winds did blow,
The bitter winds of January,
That swept with sparkling swirls of snow
The wastes Of western prairie,
A little child came to my arms
To bring me jOy-Or sorrow maybe,
And 40, beset by vague alarms
sighed "AnOther baby"
Another little waif 10 tend.
Another little helpless stranger,
To lead, to feed, to fold. to fend
From every wrong and danger,
TO make one anxious, make one sad,
And fearful for each morrow maybe,
With heart half sorrowful. half glad,
l moaned, Another BabyW
And then thought how near, how dear,
The little children God has sent US.
How full they made our home Of cheer,
And how their presence did content us
Hard II but one were laid away
This year or next. as might or maybe,
Our hearts would ache. wo1ld burn, wouli
break,
And now-Another baby!
All. SO thought and so I said
In ecstacy Of peace and pleasure.
As bending down kissed the head
or my last. weest. weakest treasure
"Oh, dear child Of my life AMI love,
Whate'er you are, whate'er you may be,
I take YOU from the Christ above.
And thank him for-AnOther babyi"

BASED upon his measurements and an

lowing rule: The weight Of a bow RANGING

periods annually maximum. a me.

maximum period lasts four and half
months, commencing in August and end.

stage has the same duration, from the
middle Of December to the end of April.
The minimum period appears during the
remaining three months, from the end of
april to the end of July. The increase in
weight during the maximum period is
three times that of the medium period
and almost all the gain Of the medium
period is again lost during the minimum
period From the working Of this law

1t is singular that the hair Of the hu.
man head should always have been held
as something sacred and to be associated
with sacred acts. Not to speak of the
way in which we cherish the lock shorn
from the dead, or the way in which the
lover treasures his mistress curl, the hair
has long had place in ceremonial acts Of
sacrifice AS the strength of Samson, ac
eording to the old Bible narrative. was in
his hair, so it would appear that Achilles
felt himself still giving Of his life and
strength when he cut of his yellow locks
to cast them on the pyre Of Patroclus.
Constantine had the hair of his son Herac.
Illus dispatched to the pope as evidence
that he begged the pope to become tbe
lads adopted father. And as late as Az
Eighth century people Of rank were in fbe
habit OF waiting, before cutting the hair

THE MAKING OF CIDER.
BYGoNE DAYS OF THE STONE
TROUGH AND ROLLER.

Methods Of the Massachusetts Farmer of a
Hundred Years Ago-Primitive Press and
the Cheese wooden Cylinders for
Grinding-lTodern Inventions.
There are some interesting facts in con-
hectlon with the cider industry of the
sUaIe winch at the opening of the present
/ century was primitive business anonp
the farmers. The fruit of which tbe
cider was made at that time was the wild
natural apples, mostly sour and deficient
OF 1avor. The cider was a harsh. sour
drlnk, even as it ran from the press. The
cluef orlnker OF those days lived to great
age. As time went on, grating was dis
covered; then many of the wild trees were
grated to more palatable fruit, and later
on budding came into use. Then an ex-
pelenced budder could change hundreds
OF small nursery seedlings in one dav TO
any desirable variety. At this dav, there
are not more than ten or a dozen varieties
OF apples with which it is advisable to
plant an orchard. Those choice varieties
are cholee because they possess the re-
qulSites Tor success to the planter: namely,
quahty, productiveness, vigor, growth
and color pleasing to the eye of the con
sumer.
THE OLD FASHIONED MILL.
Here is a description Of a cider mill of a
well to do farmer 100 years ago: The first
thing was a circular stone trough about
oO 1eet III diameter. The inside stones
winch were set up edgewise, were about |
10 inches in height, and the outside |
STONES were feetin height. The SPACE |
between the stones was filled with clav, |
pounded in hard to prevent leaking. The /
width of the bottom of the trench was |
about 10 inches. A post was set in the
center of the circle, and from that most
extended shaft of wood which served
as the axis of u stone cylinder made to
turn III the circular trough. This cvlin-
Ger was 4 4eet long and about s inches in
ulaLneJer. AT Re end Of the shaft. out
SIDE the trench, N2rse was hitched. The
animal, by walking around the stone.
Jaulnled under the cylinder the apples
IhaV were placed in the trough. A man
or a smart boy had his hands full to keen
the horse going and to poke tbe onnlee
unuer the stone, as they had a tendency
TO slide up the sides of the circular
trough. In six hours a horse and man
could mash about thirty bushels Of an
pies II the horse did not get the blind
'Cag5efs from walking in so small a circle.
AIIer the grinding the finest portion of
ne pomace was shOveled into a tub and |
sid on two timbers to the press. A thick
aver OF straw was laid on the bottom of
ne press. with the ends reaching over a
rame the size Of the intended cheese,
Lhey layer Of mashed apple was laid ON.
