THE DAIRY.

1t Is no use trying to make the dairy
pay If we have poor COWS, poor feed, bad
surroundings, or sell our butter to the
country store.--Western Rural. ~
1t requires about 2,OOO,0Oo average
cows to produce the butter which is inn
ported into England. II the United
States could furnish this item, 1t would
turn the balance OF trade our way.
Probably the best way, as rule, for
selling good butter Is to send IL to re-
sponsible commission firm. II there Is
any way by which private customers can
be got. it usually is to the advantage Of
the butter maker to get them.
Butter is usually worked too much.
It breaks the grain and makes it salvy.
II it is not neat to work butter by hand,
how about bread and other things? But
ter was better before the butter worker
was invented. Nobody can make good
butter out Of scalded milk; it makes it
full Of curds.-Stanton Hitchcock, in
Farm and Home.
We must equalize the dairy products

up when it rains porridge." or when the
most money can be obtained for prod
uct. then put it upon the market. Why
do we as dairymen make the most but

combined. All operations in the dairy.

Rural.
One man, writes the Rural New
Yorker. that owing to the objections OF
his customers on milk route he has
been compelled to stop feeding ensilage
to his cows. Well. if he makes the kind
of silage we have seen on some farms,
then the quicker he stops feeding it the
better. Such an instance as the failure
of one man while hundreds of others
succeed merely goes to prove that some
men can fail even in falling of log.
We have known men who were such abb
solute failures as dairymen that they
thought they were succeeding when they
were going rs rapidly into business

ALExANOER'S FUN.

Twas horrible! the image
Which lighted up the place.
Twas an ugly pumpkin lantern,
With shocking, shocking face,
Surely the boys who made IL
Had no thought III form or grace.
sNow, Tom." said Alexander.
Lets put II on this post,
And those gTls will think for certain
They've seen first class ghost;
And think know for certain
Which one twill frightcn most.
For Jenny, she's 80 timid,
She's afraid OF every thing.
And think that this may shock her
And some sense tn her may bring.
For Of all the ngly images
This lantern Is the king"
And then they stopped their talking
And listened, and could hear
Out in the distant darkness
Girlish voices, sweet and clear.
Then said Tom to Alexander:
'NOw they are coming near"
They came, and timid Jenny
Gave one awful, frightened cry.
As She saw the fearful image
She almost seemed to fly,
And she reached her mothers bosom
Ready, rs they feared, to die.
All night in strong convulsions
The lovely sister lay,
And the watchers by her bedside
Almost feared the coming day,
Lest when tho night departed
She. too, would go away.
At dawn the little maiden
Was lying still and white,
And twas long ere she recovered
From the illness of that night.
She never quite recovered
From her terrible alright.
Pumpkin lanterns In their places
May be very harmless fun,
But all joking that is practical
Is better left undOne,
Lest in our zeal for pleasure
We may injure any one.
And a boy or girl who's timid
You cant frighten out Of Il.
And IL You try to do Il
You show no sense, nor wit;
And joking that Is practical
Isn't funny-not q bit.
So pumpkin lantern image
Now will Alexander shun;
And he often thinks with shudders,
OF what he might have done
When he sacrificed his sister
To his cagerness for fun.

hEALTH INVENTIONS.

One That Has tho Merit OF Appealing 70
the Common Sense.
All sorts of health inventions have
come into vogue during the last half
dozen years. Some Of them may be
recommended a. useful, and others
should be condemned from every side.
The general desire to possess beautiful
complexion, good looks, perfectly -devel.
oped forms, have led many to invent
methods of treatment that would guar
antee all the desired physical beauties.
Probably the question of reducing ones

have been suggested and inflicted upor
the public, for the ostensible purpose Of
reducing corpulency. Here is one
however, that has the merit of appealing
to the common sense il it has no other
value. Corpulency is usually denoted
by an increased girth Of the waist, and
not by swelling muscles and limbs.
The fat accumulates around the
waist, and gives very unnat
ural and ungraceful appearance. Sweat.
ing reduces weight, and If this could all
be taken from the stomach and loins the
result would be satisfactory. To dc
this, obtain q porous flannel bandage
that will cover the body from the hips
to the lower part Of the breast bone.
This should be easy fitting, but not
tight. 1t should be worn next to the
skin, and flannel shirt worn over it
Then take exercise, rapid walking
horseback riding, tennis or work in thl
gymnasium. Any energetic exercise
will do that causes excessive sweating
The sweating will begin under the fan
mel bsndage, and continue rs long ~
the exercise Is kept up. Then take Z
cold bath and rub the stomach and loina

around his waist one can sweat the
stomach and loins without sweating the
rest Of the body, and In this way tho fat

boatmen already had a song thereon, which
they sang as they labored at the oar. Also
heard how the galley that was sent To
search for the vessel which carried the
Syrian merchant had foundered with ali
her crew, and the tale that the Queens as.
tronomer, Harmachis, had flown to
Heaven from the roof of the house al
Tarsus. And the sailors wondered because

Abouthis, where left the craft, aud right
glad were the sailors to see me 60. And,
with breaking heart, ! walked through
the fertile fields, seeing faces that well

as the sun sank, near to the great outer
pylon of the Temple; aud here crouched
down in the ruins of house, not knowing
wherefore had come or what was about

missionary, while his mother was an
Englishwoman In 1885 his parents
came to the United States and settled in
Boston, and soon afterwards his father
was appointed as professor of oriental
languages at Harvard College. Here
young Adam received his education and
studied law. He drifted out West to
Iowa, when about % years of age, and
at the outbreak of the civil war
joined Vandever's regiment in the
Union army. He rose 10 the rank OF
captain and assistant quartermaster.
He severed his connection with the army
while at Vicksburg, after the war, and
at once resumed the practice of law.
During General Grants second term
Adam was appointed United States
District Attorney for the Southern Dis
trict of Mississippi. His health became
impaired and he went to Denver, Col,
where he attended to all litigation con-
nected with the famous "Townsite"
Clark of that place. Thence he went to
Tombstone, Arizona, whence he went to
San Francisco, where, in 1881, he was
prominently connected with one of the
famous Tichborne claimants. About
five years ago he drifted down to this
city, where he soon made many warm
personal friends. F~ss

THE WEST ENDERS.
Various Matters Discussed by tn,
Board of Trade.


Board of Trade.
The West End Board of Trade met on
Wednesday evening, H. G. Register in
the chair.
j. Mills Davies, chairman of the COM
mittee on streets, reported the present
status of the proposed grading and inn
provement of First and Second streets;
also that he had requested property own
ers on Beaudry street and Crescent ave-
nue. to be present at this meeting to dis
cuss the proposed change of names of
said streets. In relation to the Pasadena
boulevard, Mr.. Davies said Supervisor
Hubbard informed him that the boule-
ward would probably come into the west
end of the city and terminate at Sixth
street park.
Mr.. Innes gave some interesting fig
ures showing that the votes cast in the
Second ward at the recent sewer elec-
tions exceeded those of the Fifth, Sixth
and Ninth wards combined. Upon this
showing Mr.. Innes made the following
motion, which was carried: That the
chairman be requested to ascertain how
many men are employed in all capaci-
ties by the city as laborers from the diff
ferent wards. ~
The action Of the Superintendent Of
Streets in placing Temple and other
streets of the West End in good condi-
tion was highly recommended by a
number of members present.
Messrs. Galbreth, Daily and Innes
were appointed committee to draft a
petition to the City Council for the
establishment of grade on Old Temple
street from Burtz street to the city
limits.
H. G. Wilmer, delegate from the
Crown Hills Board of Trade, reported
that at recent conference with the fire
and water committee of the City Council
the said committee promised to endeavor
to compel the water companies to put in
four-inch mains, and if they refuse to
do so, to test their franchise and ascer-
tain if they can be compelled to do SO.
A proposition from the Citizens Water
Company to furnish water meters was
accepted.

handsomely decorated for the occasion, the
stage presenting a fine appearance, with its
drapery of flags and festoons of evergreeDs
and flowers. The parents OF The pupils aud
friends and patrons of the school turned out
III full force TO witness the various eXer-
ciseS, and testified their appreciation of the
merits OF the different performances by Wig
orous applause and frequent demands for
eneores. The pupils acquitted themselves
we'll and deserved the fine reception they re-
ccived for their declarations and vocal and
