How to Milk . Cow.

A Canadian paper says that the most
economical way to milk q COW. all
things considered, is to milk the two
fore teats clean. leaving of with .
pretty full stream, and then milk the
hind ones down to short stream. and
returning to the fore ones, milk them TO
the same condition, not touching the
hind ones again. This will leave the
teats empty, and tho bags too. II is q
false notion that Juggling away at the
teats stimulate COW to give moro
milk; but. on the contrary. emptying
the bag as soon as possible yields more;
then the COW can have the extra time
TO eat, which is better stimulus than
either. A slow mixer Is never toler-
ated in the dairy districts, and q
"strlpper' is an injury anywhere. The
sooner the COW is MIXED. and all the
organs connected with feeding. diges-
ton and secretion are left in their
natural condition, the better it is for
the COW.

INTELLIGENCE OF DOGS.
How . Rabbit Hound Induced His Dr
Mate to Follow Him.

How . Rabbit Hound Induced His Duh
Mate to Follow Him.
That dogs have any thing like what
we know as genius has often been dis
puted. but well authenticated casce Of
an exhibition Of that quality ARE by &c
means uncommon. Their instincts arx
as pronounced as those of mankind.
Their methods Of reasoning, too. strike
one as the same. and bright dogs often
give their imagination play and origi-
nate means Of accomplishing q purA
pose that would be called genius In
man. They have what might be termed
an instructive language. which is MOTH
ing more or less than an expression Of
their emotions. the meaning OF which
they learn from association with each
other. Then they have more reason
able language, which is a means u
making their wants known to mankind.
Some of these methods Of indicating
their wants are simple and have been
acquired or taught with little difficulty;
but others again are Of quite an intri-
cate nature and are inventions born Of
the imagination. A man living In one
of the suburbs Of Chicago has q pair
Of rabbit hounds. one OF which
is q particularly bright specimen
OF his kind and fond Of hunting.
His mate is rather dull. and fond
only Of hunting when accompanied
by the master. The brighter dog. how.
ever. has fondness for going hunting
without his owner. and often goes to
the woods near BY to give bunny
q chase. He tried in various ways to
get his mate to 60 with him. but that
stupid fellow did not seem to understand
what he wanted. and all reasonable
methods failed to got him away from
h me. The bright dog finally hit upon
successful plan. He would 60 to I
field near by and chase about it, giving
tongue as if in earnest chase Of 9 rab
bit. This attracted the other dogs at
tention. and, believing he was follow
ing q real trail, he would join him. BY
the time he reached the spot where thu
cunning little hound had been larking
the bright dog would be chasing ;
phantom trail somewhere else, and il
hot haste the stupid hound would joil
him. BY this time they would be vel
away from home. with their hunting
blood well stirred. and the bright d0t
would have no further trouble in lead
ing his mate to the brush where tn,
real game was to be found. In thi
way the stupid dog was taught by hi
companion that there was real fun il
hunting without tho master, and ate
once having got the idea in his head h

Ants Versus Caterpillars.

seeing a caterpillar crawling at rapid
pace, followed by hundreds OF ants.

ants would catch up with the caterpil-

bite him. The caterpillar would turn
his head and bite the ant and kill his

pillar showed signs of fatigue. Betak-
ing himself 10 stalk of grass, the cater
pillar climbed up tail first, followed by
the ants. As one approached, he seized
it In his jaws and threw it off the stalk.
The ants seeing that the caterpillar had
too strong position for them, resored
to strategy. They Logan saving
through the grass stalk. In u few mo-
ments the stalk fell, and hundreds oil
ants bounced upon the caterpillar.

Multiplication of Drugs.

tendency to the multiplication OF useless
drugs. The writer asserts that in the in

allowing for duplication and repetition, he
estimates represents about 1l.O00 remedies.

reasons, "two grains of wheat hid IN two

Eras of Universal Learning

Learning and the arts flourished among
the Greeks. especially under Pisistratus,
597 B. c., and again under Pericles, 444 B.
C; and with the Romans under Augustus,
at the commencement of the Christian era
Greek refugees caused the revival of liter
ature, sculpture. painting and wood-carving
in Italy, particularly after the taking Of
Constantinople by the Turks in 1853, and
the invention of printing shortly before the
