Fast and Slow Milking.

1t is generally understood that fast
milking has the advantage Of securing
more milk than slow milking. But We
are not aware Of any scientific expert
ments to determine the fact. Mr.. Ralph
Allen, Of Delavan, ILL.,, however, gives
to the Jersey Bulletin a little experience
that well illustrates the difference. His
boy was learning to milk and took two
and half times more time than a fast
mixer, who got from the COW at each
milking Q to l21f pounds Of milk. The
boy could get only to pounds. The
evidence in favor Of fast milking was
pretty conclusive-provided the time in
milking was all the difference that Affect
ed the flow. The fast mixer may have
been more agreeable to the COW, and his
manner Of milking may have been more
agreeable. The bungling Of the boy may
have been positively annoying to the COW.
This would affect her giving down." as
1t is called. 1t may have quite as much
to do with the variation in the yield as the
difference in time Of drawing the milk
had. You must please the COW If you
want her to do her best. More or less
milk Is seCreted during milking-as saliva
is secreted during eating; il the COW is
annoyed, it checks the secretion Of milk
II pleased, it stimulates it. For these
reasons, it is important to have fast milk
ers who are good natured and agreeable
TO the cows.

Delinquent Subscribers Hit Hard.

Waitsburg Times: The Times will start
4 man around the world In 4 short time.
We have not yet selected our man, nor
have we so far fixed the date on which he
will start. But arrangements are being
rapidly perfected, and the trip will be
begun in the near future. He will travel
westward all the time, will travel afoot
except when he can bum a ride. Being
an excellent swimmer he will have but
little difficulty in making the water part
Of the trip. Just when he will get back
we have so far made no effort to figure
out, but he will probably be back by the
time some Of our delinquent subscribers
pay their back subscriptions.

A PERILOUS DESCENT.

Estel]a Leroy, Cleveland girl.
whose real name is Hull, attempted t.,
make her first balloon ascension and
parachute jump at Beverlcs Park OH.
June 26. She failed, however, anI
j narrowly escaped death. The balloon
was inflated with hot air and an EN-
ploye named Ed. French was sent i'll,
side to keep it from igniting from
sparks from the fire. He was forgot
ten, and when the balloon was sutfici-.
emily inflated it was cut loose and shot
up in the air. French was not prepa-
red for ascension and he began to
scramble out. One of his feet caught
in the ropes and he hung head down
ward.
After vigorous struggle he sue
ceeded in extricating himself from the
hallon when it was about fifty feet
from the earth, and after turning two
somersaults in the air he alighted on
the ground on his face and was sever
ely injured The struggles of French
loosened the parachute from the bal
loon, and when at tho height of 100
feet it suddenly broke loose. The
parachute did not open until it had
trayersed a considerable distance and
the woman descended with a rush.
There was loud cry of terror and a.
general stampede. Fortunately the
aeronaut fell in the branches of a
large tree and was rescued without
sustaining any injury. She was con-.
siderably frightened, but declared her
intention of trying the feat again.

A STORY OF STONEWALL
JACKSON.

An old soldier tells this story OF
Stonewall Jackson
1t was during his valley campaign,
and battle was expected within a
! a day or two, though Jackson's plans
were so carefully guarded that not
even his adjutant could guess intelli-
gently. This self-reliance was cha
racteristic of Jackson, and his aver
sion to telling his plans was we'll
known among his officers and men.
In fact it was his policy to surprise
his own men no less than to surprise
the enemy.
Gen. jackson was one of group
Of officers, and another of the group
was a Georgia colonel, who is still li7-
ing. Conversation was dragging.
jackson was thoughtful and had lit
tie to say, and the effect was dampen-
ing. Finally, just to revive the con-
versation, the Georgia colonel asked
abruptly
General, viii we have a fight to-
morrow"
Everybody knew in an instant that
the blunder was irreparable, and no
body realized this more than the colo
mel.
Jackson turned quickly and stared
full in the speakers face. Then he
slowly surveyed the colonel from head
to foot, and back again.
The silence was painful.
Colonel" said the general slowly
but not in an unkind tone, "can you
keep secret"
eyes, general" was the warm, if
embarrassed, assurance. Il know |
can, general. Yes, sir"
care you quite certain, colonel?"
Il am quite certain, general"
"Well colonel" in the same quiet
even tone, $50 can !, sir"
The colonels face flushed crimson,
and there was deathly silence for
half a minute or more.
"Now colonel" said jackson with
some feeling, "that rudeness Of mine
hurt me as much as it did you, but /
trust that it has taught you valuable
lesson. If we do have fight to-mor-
row, colonel, your regiment shall have
q chance. ."-Atlo7sto Constitution.

A STRANGE COINCIDENCE.

A very singular coincidence occur
red at the residence Of Mr.. 0. Ditch,
last Saturday, which is truthful in
every way. Their little daughter,
Florabel, had died, and was laid out
in the cold arms Of death in one of
the rooms, her loving parents bending
over the pretty corpse shedding tears
of bitter grief-for Florabel was the
only daughter in a family of several
children. The little girl had pet
white pigeon that frequented all parts
of the house at its pleasure, getting
into the lap and on the shoulders Of
the little girl, and seemed to under
stand everything said to it. This
pigeon few into the death chamber
through the door, and perched itself
on the mantel- piece. Mrs. Ditch turn
ed toward it, and calling it by name
said: "Peedee, poor little Florabel is
dead! look at herp at the same time
pointing to the dead companion. The
pigeon stretched itself, looked at the
little lifeless form, gave futter Of
its wings, and fell off the mantel-peice
1t was alaid out" very pref
tily placed at the feet Of the child in
the coffin, and Florabel with her bird
companion in life were laid to rest to-
gether in the cemetery at Berwick.

IN WOMAN'S TOLLS.
From Meridian MISSY News.


After traversing the world to escape
the vengeance Of the law, the French
murderer, Eyrand was identified in
Havana by a woman, and was arrest
ed and taken back to Paris. This
goes to show that man when he is
evilly disposed and happens to inform
on him. Women by nature are true
friends of those whom they like.
But when it comes to hunting down
a man it is a law Of destiny that he
will be handed over to the law by
some woman whose animosity he has
aroused, provided, Of course, she had
a chance to have finger in the pie.
A man may be a criminal in the eyes
Of the world, but when all others have
deserted him, the woman who loves
him will stand by him. But woe to
the man who having gained the love
of a woman, and then fails her when
he should remember her many acts Of
alteration and admiration. When he
does that he will find in her his
bitterest enemy, and his most unfor-
giving foe.

A PECULIAR SPRING.

Two and a half miles south of the
little Mexican village of Las Humet-
tas, in western Arizona, in low, san
dy valley, fanked by tall mountains,
there is a hole about three feet in di-
ameter and Of unknown depth, from
which a dense cloud Of smoke and
steam is constantly arising. For 100
feet on each side Of the hole the ground
is moist and heated. Water collected
in the holes which have been dug in
this moist ground has the tendency to
make one very wakeful, besides Civ
ing the face, hand and feet, paraly-
tic numbness. Every evening at Z
o'clock large volumes of sand arc shot
from the hole, proceeded by a roar
that can be heard for miles.
