REFORM RUN TO RIDIcULE.

Advocates Of dress reform, like the
champions of the phonetic system of
orthography, are inclined to press the
demand for reform to a ridiculous ex-
treme. In the course of some comment
aries on masculine attire, GA B usiness
Woman" asks why men should wear
their trousers hanging down about their
heels, and suggests as a measure of re-
form that these hilfurcations should ex-
tend no lower than the ankle. The evil
indicated is undeniable, but the reform
proposed is preposterous. Would GA
Business Woman" have man 60 about
with his trousers at half mast? As the st.
Joe Gazette remarks. it is sad enough to
have these integunlehts flap about on the
limbs they encase like an idle mainsail
on a mast, OF bag out at the knees like
the snout of hippopotamus;w why deepen
the gloom by hoisting them up as sig
nal of distress? Leggins or knicker7
bockers may do, but it will never do to
have a mans trousers look as if they had
passed an ordinance Of secession from his
shoes

We see it stated, though the authentic
ity of the statement is not Touched for,
that the president has modified his views
on the silver coinage question to the ex-
tent of favoring the free coinage of the
silver produced from American mines.
If this declaration is true it is clear that
private conference wants to be ar
ranged for between the president and
Senator Sherman for a common under
standing. The Ohio senator has taken
the position of strong opposition to free
coinage of silver and is making his cam
paign i'm Ohio for reelection TO the SEN
ate on that issue. The free coinage of
American silver will not satisfy the de-

Cooling MIX Without n Spring.

With much less money than $l00 a first class outfit can be purchased of any of the standard makes of cabinet cream cry supplies, and with a well filled ice house-which, by the way, no farmer should try to get along without-this will put it within the power of every butter maker to make an article which she will not be obliged to sell for shil- ling a pound, or trade out at the village grocery.
 Our dairy outfit consists of milk room, 12-by'i5 feet, adjoining the wash room. It Is wainscoted up and ceiled inside with black oak in strips three inches wide, plain, alternating with beaded. This is finished with oil. On one side is refrigerator, which is built out into the ice house, which joins the millsroom on that side. This refrigerator is home made affair, and is simply a large box, four feet in width, the same in depth and five in height, with the open side toward the milluoom, from which door opens into it. It is fitted with shelves for the storing of cream, butter, etc. It is lined with galvanized iron. Of course, it is surrounded on three sides and the top with ice. The nilkroom contains a four-can Wilson cabinet creamer, a barrel churn, butter worker, together with table and scales for weighing butter A well of pure cold water is within three feet of the door. Though this system may not pro duce any better results than the spring water, it has at least one or two advan- tages. It can be used in winter and summer alike; while separate milk room at some distance from the house might not perhaps be convenient at all seasons of the year, and great saving of steps is also effected by having the milkroom under the same roof as the living rooms.
 Tine public or cooperative creameries take a great deal of work off the hands of the farmers wife, and unless there IS some better way of marketing butter than the average country town affords it is much better to send the cream to the creamery than to make 1t up at home. The creaneries established upon the cooperative plan pay for the butter made from the cream, each lot being tested at the time it is taken, thus giv- ing for it fair price, in many instances more than could be got for it if made up at home. Then afterward semi-annual dividends are made of the profits. This has been "a remarkably poor year for butter all over the country, yet the CO., operative creamery of our county has just declarpd dividend of nearly four cents per pound on all the butter made during the past season. Such an insti- tuition should be looked upon as public benefaction and patronized accordingly. Cor. Rural New Yorker
