How Women Rest.

How differently men and women in- dulge themselves in what is called resting spell. 'I guess I'll sit down and mend these stockings and rest awhile," says the wife; but her hus- band throws himself upon the easy lounge, or sits back in his arm chair, with feet and hands at rest and feet placed horizontally upon another chair.
 The result is that his whole body gains the full benefit of the half hour he allows himself from work, and the wife only receives that indirect help which comes from change of occupa- ton. A physiciah would tell her that taking even ten minutes in horizon tai position, as change from standing or sitting at work, would prove more beneficial to her than any of her make shifts at resting. Busy women have a habit of keeping on their feet just as long as they can, in spite of backaches and warning pains.
 As they grow older they see the folly of permitting such drafts upon their strength, and learn to take things easier, let what will happen. They say, II used to think must do thus and so, but Eve grown wiser and learned to slight things" The first years of housekeeping are truly the hardest, for untried and unfamiliar cares are almost daily thrust upon the mother and home maker.

Will Have to Wait.

A German, long resident in London, who left home at twenty years of age, thereby cvading service in the army has sent to the English papers com munication received from the authori- ties in s'the Fatherland' in answer to an application to be permitted to come and visit his father ere he died. .sCome by all means" was in effect the austere rejoinder. but you will have to pay a fine of 6E i0s., undergo six weeks drilling and spend six months in a fortress This was too much for the correspondents iilial instinct.

How People sneexe.

Sneezing, and the manner in whick the sneeze is sneezed, is an interesting study in itself. No two persons sneezs exactly alike. A two months study of this spasmodis practice has fully demonstrated the fact that there is as much Individuality in the sneeze of the average man or woman as there is in the laugh, the conversation, the walk, or the handwriting.
 The little boarding-sch0ol miss trips jatiutily along the street, and in turn ing to note if she is attracting due at tention, happens to inadvertently look at the sun; in moment her nostrils begin to tickle, and burying her face in the folds of the neatest of cambris handkefchiefs, she contracts her shoul- ders, and gives titterance to the dain- tiest "skick-skick-skick" imaginable.
 The fat woman, with a basket upon her arms, haIts suddenly upun the street, bows her head reverently, re- mains so for few moments in wild expectation, and then. straightening up little, inhales the air until she rMtttt uH iiHt t bdiittht tiiNh schooooo! ah-h-h-schoooo! ah ah-ah skitch-tsschoo. oh, myl" and wobbles along, wiping her inflamed nose on her apron.
 The tall, cadaverous man, whose ev- cry look indicates the presence of con sumption. stops short on the sidewalk nervously runs his hands into half a dozen pockets before he can find his handkerchief, throws his head back ward until his nose points at the City Hall clock, and electrifies all within hearing with spasmodic "witchoo- witchoo-witcho-o-o-o-wi-wi- witeho-o- o-ov' then gives his peaked nasal organ wipe or two, and moves painfully along.
 The nervous man stops, while look of pain crosses his face, draws two or three long breaths to hurry the thing along, then doubles himself up as if endcavoring to shoulder the heaviest portion of his body, twists his face out of all semblance of human being, and jerks out his "kroo-whak-kroo- whak- ak-boosh-ah-kroo- wlak-oh!" and leaves the spot, wearing look of the most disconsolate pain.
 It does one good to see the jolly fat man sneeEe. He throws back his mas sive shoulders, opens his cavernous mouth to it's fullest capacity, shuts both eyes. and fairly raises the dead with his '.ah-schoooo! ah-schoooo! ah- ah-schooool whoopee! woosh-ah- schoooooo-wagh- h-hooo- oo-physchoooo!"

Dairy Education.

The capital invested in the dairy interests of the state of New York. is estimated at S4o0 100000. The profit which her dairymen and farmers deriyo from the inves tment is much smaller than it might be. Neither in quantity nor in quality. are the prod ucts what they ought to be, and what is true of New York in this regard, is true in other dairy states. The CO., operative creamery system, Is, where ever it is introduced, improving the yield. The slovenly processes Of but ter making practiced by farmers at home, by which butter of all grades and much of 1t below grade, was pro- duced. have been replaced by the cleanly. systematic modern methods of the factory, and higher prices and correspondingly larger profits are realized
 But creamery can be successfully maintained only in a community. where Q number of well-stocked adjacent farms exist Where these farms are scattered. as is frequently the case, the butter is made at home; where neither the theory or the practice of the art is understood. How to reach these farms, how to instruct their inmates, reform their butter processes and improve their productsp These arc felt to be questions of cardinal importance. Here as elsewhere among those who pursue our vocation. ignorance and in- difference are the great obstacles to overcome. Ignorance of the funda- mental principles of milk. butter and cheese production, and indifference as to the importance Of careful observ- ance of the principles.
 The great dairy county of Chashire, in England has Dairy Institute, the sessions of which are held on farms en- gagged for the purpose. But two in structors are needed during the season. the manager. a gentleman, who teaches cheese-making and the butter teacher who is a lady. With the view of bringing the advantages of tho h. stitute within the reach of all, the terms are $2;50 per week.
