FEE F&THER or 81 CHILDREN.

''He knew more about the wood busi-
iless than he lid about printing and was
afraid that thirty-four children were
too many to get on such small card.
He would have the card made larger,
but he wanted it to hang across his
breast when he had his picture taken.
He was getting tolerably we'll along in
years, and some of his neighbors
thought it would be good thing if he
would have his picture taken with this
card on his breast to leave as proud
legacy to his children and his children's
children.

children. asked him if he had thought
the matter over carefully, and If he was
ready to go on record to that effect. He
said he had given the matter thought
and was ready to be placed on record.
I'VE agreed on the price, after some
dickering, and Mr.. Kirkwood went out
to sell his wood while the card was be-
ing printed. He came back at the ap-
pointed time, got his card, paid for it.,
and proceeded to the photograph gal

tintype in his hand, and the maddest
man, think, in the county. The let
ters on the card were reversed in the
picture, and the inscription read back

"Mr. Kirkwood had got tintype in
stead of photograph, for economical rea-
sons, and tlntype being negative pic
ture the letters were, of course, reversed,
and the effect was not what the old man
had expected He accused me of having
palmed off lot of 'left-handed type on
him, and declared if we did not print
him card in right-handed type he
would clean out our bunko print-shop in

best could" concluded grandfather,
'and after much difficulty convinced
him that the fault was in the picture

than spend money on another picture

TO PRESERVE BEAUTY.
A Popular Actress Tells How to Secure
Facial Perfection.


Certain things must be borne in mind
by her who would, in homely phrase,
"keep her looks" She must on rising
bathe her whole body in tepid water,
following it by brisk rubbing with
soft towel. She must exercise as freely
as possible, eat at regular hours, avoid
cosmetics, save those Of the simplest
order, and in all things be governed by
common sense and the primary princi-
pies, now well understood by most peo-
pie, of hygiene. Regarding exercise,
that chief promoter of beauty, every
day in the year when the weather will
permit every woman who wishes to pre-
serve her health and beauty should take
brisk walk of an hours or two hours
duration. This is the very least the
sensible woman will do.
A couple of hours daily practice with
the fencing foils is very advantageous.
1t is only by the exercise of great care,
which in another woman would be set
down to the credit of overweening van
ity, that an actress preserves her good
looks more than any other person. She
Is subject to constant, harassing work
and weary travel, and consequently If
she would preserve any semblance Of
good looks she must take proper care of
herself. The constant use of grease
paint will work havoc with any COM
plexion. Much can be done, however,
to counteract the bad effects. Immedi-
ately after the performance the actress
who is careful will cover her face with
layer of vaseline, which is we'll rubbed
in. The face must then be thoroughly
washed with hot mot warm) water and
soap, or if there is an objection to the
use of soap on the face, little milk
may be added to the water. This wash
ing can not be too thorough. Most
women as a finishing touch pass pow
der-puf lightly over the face, but am
inclined to be chary of the use even of
the simplest cosmetics and to trust rath-
er to plenty of water, followed by brisk
rubbing with soft towel.
Good living is favorable to good looks,

Such being the case, diet as an aid to

eat to keep the muscles firm and full,

THE DAIRY.

Feed all kinds of grain in tight
boxes. -
Color Of milk is of more account than
color of COW.
Milk your cows clean If you would
have them milk long.
When gently used, the curry-comb
and brush are just as needful for mllch
COWS as they are for work horses.
To make dairying paying and
profitable business one can not afford to
overlook the feeding value of skim
milk.
System is the soul of success in the
dairy or any place else. Work should
be Systematically planned so that there
should be a regularly appointed time
for doing each thing. Work we'll planned
is we'll begun, and well begun is half
done.
when COWS cot decayed wood and
old bones it indicates indigestion or
insufficient nutrition. A bran mash
with a teaspoonftil of ginger and twice
as much salt In it; will relieve the COWS,
and give, them a healthful appetite.
IN. Y. Times.
-"Chemists," says contemporary,
"tell us that cows fed on bran make
richer manure than when fed on oats or
corn meal" and then wants to know
whether this fact, if it is fact, is
point for or against the bran. Taking
it pound for pound in the open market
we believe milk is more valuable than
manure, though in the Judgment of
many scientists this rule is reversed. =
American Dairyman.
Winter dairying requires something
more than ordinary methods in order to
insure suctess. Some of the more inn
portant requisites are given below: In
telligent and liberal feeding, Not only
must the cows be we'll fed but properly
fed. 1t is easier to make COW grow
fat in the winter than it is to make her
give milk. Winter dairymen have found
that it is important that their COWS must
have plenty of nitrogenous food.-West,
