FOR LITTLE PEOPLE.
ALWAYs FoReEITINe.

Have you ever, pray, met with this style Of
boys
You may md him IN country OF city;
Has he been your companion in play or EN-
ploys
You are truly person to pity.
He forgets every toy and forgets every tool.
Through constant and careless mispiae-
ing;
Forgets half his books tin hes fairly at
school
And his questioning teacher is facing.
He completely torgets when on errands he
runs,
or, if all Is not wholly neglected,
For the bread ne was sent for brings back
with him buns
And lard for the butter expected.
He forgets-but can not begin 10 relate
The things he is ever forgetting,
The few he remembers 'twere easy to state
Yet he's always resolving, regretting.
He meant nothing wrong Tor at heart he is
kind.
But, alas it was loaded-that rifle;
The salt and saitpetre got mixed in his
mind,
An, forgetting is often no tribe
So I urge should yon know some forgetful
young lad
Tell him, sure as the sunrise tomorrow,
Unless he soon conquers this habit most
bad,
twill cause him yet bitterest sorrow.

DOG STORIES.
Bessie's Dog Jack-Touchtng Account of a
newfoundland Dog.

JSessie's Dog Jack-Touching Account OF a
Newfoundland Dog.
There is really no limit to the number
of interesting stories that can be told
about dogs. During the early part of a
summer that lived in Yonkers ! knew
this to happen several times. A little
girl living in cottage on Warburton
| avenue had to 60 about half mile to
school every morning, but it was not al
ways convenient for someone to accom-
pany her. Let Jack come with me. :"
Her mother consented. and the dog
went off carrying the basket. AT three
o'clock he was told: Jack, go fetch
Bessie. Away he started, took the
| basket, and escorted the child home
1t was not necessary after this to tell
him what to do; he stood ready before
the child went out and took her to
school, and started away little after
two to bring her back. If he thought
she was staying in too late, he would
scratch the door.
Here is a story, a pathetic one too,
which / can vouch for. In place called
Lear's Cove, on the Newfoundland
coast, two brothers in an open boat were
trying to land. The sea ran high, and
at last wave swamped the little craft
and sank it. One of the men chung
to an oar, the other was drowned.
Among the spectators on shore was a
large Newfoundland dog owned by the
poor fellow who had gone down. When
he saw his masters fate, for he rec
ognized the skiff. he set up the most
piteous crying. He would not leave the
rocks that night, but the next morning
at gray dawn when the disconsolate
fishermen came out they heard the most
extraordinary series of barks and cries.
Going along the strand they found the
dog lying on the body of his master.
The heavy sea had thrown the poor fell
low upon land during the night. Ed

RlPEElNG CREAM.
The Best Methods Of Getting Cream
Ready for the Churn.

Mr.. John Boyd. Of Chicago. said in a
paper which he presented before the
Illinois Dairymen's Association at its
recent meeting: As ripening cream is,

Of these requirements flavor is the
Creates # all, nearly equal 70 all other
essentials put together
1t would follow that the practical
question for the dairy and creamery
man IS, how to produce this condition
in the cream with uniformity, for we
all know that uniformly good article
is the key 10 success. 1t is what tho
consumer demands and is willing to
pay for, and the standard tin this coun-
try at least is constantly being raised
higher and higher The butter-maker,
not only of the present, but Of the fut-
ure, must meet the demand or fall out
of line and manufacture at loss. Re-
cent scientific research has established
the fact that all changes that occur
in milk and cream are the
result Of spores or bacteria, and
that normal milk and cream contain
forty different species Of bacteria, and
that nearly all the different species
have a definite effect on milk each pro-
ducing its own deocmposing products.
We can form some idea Of the number
and growth of these bacteria in milk
from the fact that the species that pro-
duce ordinary souring are found in milk
just before coagulation in great NUM-
bers, ZOO, 600 in about a teaspoonful.
Some of these bacteria do not affect
milk at all; some produce Tactic acid
from the milk sugar, and the acid then
coagulates the milk. Many bacteria be-
long to this class; some of them coagu-
late milk at low temperature, 20 de-
grees Fahrenheit; others only in a
warm temperature, 81 degrees to 10o
degrees Fahrenheit: some produce
Tactic acid, but not enough to coagulate
milk even in warm temperature; some
coagulate milk, not by producing an
acid but by producing a ferment similar
to that Of rennet. The ripening OF
cream is due to the growth of spores
or bacteria which multiply with
tremendous rapidity during the ripen.
ing process, single drop OF ripened
cream containing one hundred thousand
/ or more of these spores.

Why Women Have to Pay Higher Prices
For Clothes Than Men.

Why Women Have to Pay Higher Prices
For Clothes Than Men.
The relative cost of mems and women's
clothes was never more clearly illus
trated than in the prices charged in a
leading tailor's establishment in this
city. Complete suits of cheviot, in
three pieces, are made up for men at $50
to S35, while woman's gown of the
same material will cost ST5 finished
with cheap cotton Innings; with silk
Innings it is SIS. 1t takes about twice
as much material for woman's gown
as for mans suit, but this is a small
item and would not add more than
25 per cent. to the cost. The chief
reason for the higher price charged
women is that there is very little COM
petition among the tailors who furnish
women with dresses A tailor gown is
regarded even now by ordinary buyers
as an extravagant fancy, and this senti-
ment without doubtaffects prices. The
tailor gowns sold in shops where ready
made dresses are retailed is the barest
makeshift for what it pretends to be.
The cheapest cloths. cotton Innings and
machine-made button-holes are part
of its makeup. Business women and
any women who desire to dress neatly
and plainly, who wish strong, daintily
made gowns, which will endure the
wear and tear of work, find they mustpay
eXtravagant prices to supply their needs.
1t is for the interest of the tradesman
that women's dresses shall be made in
such a way as not to last too long,
and in many cases they seem made so
that they will wear out as fast as posi-

who will engage competent workmen
and establish huge retail store for
supplying women and schoolgirls with
jackets and gowns OF cloth as neatly

are such establishments in LONDON.
There is nothing more fixed in the un-
written laws that govern American trade
than that whims should be paid for, and
the tailor gown is apparently still re-
garded as within.
The sleeve has become finally the
most picturesque accessory of the dress.
The high sleeve grows gradually larger
at the top and closer at the forearm. and
promises finally to reach the huge di-
mansions of the old leg-o'-mutton
sleeves, which have long been the won

the sleeve reached well over the hand
and was supported at the top by pillow

hand and is familiar in pictures Of court

Low Prices and Dealers In Futures
Causing Great Depression,

WASHINGTON, March 2l.-Thc prevailing
depression in American agriculture is treat
ed by the statistician, ]. X. Dodge, in the
March report o! tl:c department o: agricult-
ure. The prevalence OF low prices is noted,
and o feeling of Encouragement in rural
circles throughout the world is indicated
1t is and hos been especially severe in Great
Britain, and is the subject of complaint,
discussion and of official investigation in
Germany, France, Italy and other coun-
countries. The main cause of low price, is
and wheat and other staples are cllcu;,
because OF ovcrproduction. Railroad ex-
tension has stimulated production and
overwhelmed the Eust with Western prod
ucts. There are imports costing $24O, 600 OOO
per annum OF agricultural products which
should be produced here. The statistician
treats of what hc charactcrizcs as the folly
OF wheat growers insisting on going to the
antipodcs for binder twine, while a million
acres Of flax fiber is wasted in adjoining
fields, and when they could grow
hemp enough in six months to
bind the wheat OF the world.
Another, serious cause. of depression, he
says, is the exorbitant share of the farmers
products taken by the middlemen and car.
riers. The army of dealers in futures dis
turb the natural flow of trade, check ex-
portation by a temporary rise, to bo fol-
lowed by lower prices and greater fiuctua-
tons. Spectators depress prices when gar
ners are iull, and boom them when farmers
have nothing to sell, as at present. The
community is infested with pestilent
swarms Of non-producers. Men who pro-
ducc nothing. who neither toll on the farms
nor spin i'll the factories, are absorbing the
wealth of the country by combin
without conscience, and service without
equity.
