Age.
low temperature is antagonistic to
all forms of life. Plant life fiourishes
most luxuriantly at a high temperature,
provided water is present in sufficient
quantities, while cold checks the growth
of plants. Animal as well as vegetable
life is dwarfed under the influence of
low temperature. In mountain climb
ing, one can almost determine the alti-
tude by the height of the struggling
pines which grow among the rocks.
The influence of cold is especially
productive of mischief to human
beings at the two extremities of
life. Children and old people are
of all classes the largest contribu-
tors to the mortuary tables during
the cold season of the year, and espe-
cially during ''eold snap" Bron-
chitis or winters cough, in old people
capillary bronchitis in children, and
pneumonia In both classes, are very
common during the coolest months of
the year. These susceptible classes
should be carefully guarded from the
cold by strict attention to the clothing,
an avoidance of all exposures to low
temperature. 1t is particularly i'm
portant to regulate with great care the
temperature of sleeping-rOoms. Sleep
ing-rooms should always be at a tenn
perature slightly lower than tbs room
occupied during the dav If the day
temperature is sixty-fve or seventy de-
grees, the night temperature should be
"a out SIXTY degrees
Sleeping-roorIs should always be
heated, either by CRATE, or by regis
ter connected with hot-air furnace, or
by steam heater. Too high tempera-
ture during Jhe night, however, should
be carefully avoided. Sleep is much
more refresl ing in an atmosphere a few
degrees belC W the ordinary atmosphere
to which the body is exposed during the
day, than in warm, relaxing tempera-
ture. Warm bed-gowns should be worn
at night during cold weather, and spe-
cial care should be taken to protect the
lungs by extra layers of flannel during
the day. particularly when exposed to
low temperature in going out-of-doors.

WANTING AND GETTING.
why 1t l. That People DO Not Have
More Wishes Realized.

1t has been said that the reason so
few people get what they want il this
world is that they do not want it hard
enough. There is profound truth at
the bottom of this odd conceit Earnest
striving and perseverance are rare quail
tiles. A little struggle, and then fall
ing off; few faint efforts, and then
despair-this is the usual story of at
tempts to get anything" whether it
be physical, mental or spiritual good.
But to long for thing so strongly that
for the sake of its attainment one can
conquer obstacles, live down OPPOSE
ton. ignore encouragement and work
persistently. and through years of trial
and obscurity toward the fulfillment of
a hope-is not this the record of all
grand achievements and the history of
all purposeful lives?
Many more wishes might be realized
if people were willing to pay this price
for them. Anything worth having in
this world is dear, including expert
ence. Genius itself has been defined as
only unlimited patience, or an endless
capacity for hard work.
Ii was told of some celebrated general
that he never knew when he was de-
feated. BY and by he could not be de-
feated. A little of the same spirit in
fused into ordinary life work would
make many a dream possible that now
seems TO the wistful dreamer as ex-
travagant as the cloudiest castle in
Spain.-Harper's Bazaar.

Between the manger and the feeding
alley the partition is low enough to adj
NIT of readily feeding over it and see
ing the cattle, and it does not reach
down to the floor by foot. The square
feeding boxes have each a handle, so
that they are easily pulled out into the
alley and cleaned and emptied, without
any lifting; the manager is swept out
into the alley, and the boxes refilled
with food at the proper time, and pushed
back again.
fine this a good arrangement, if /
could only do two things. One is. TO
board up the partition in front, and, |
think. when get time to study it out a
little, can invent something that will
be m0edbie, so it can be easily removed
for feeding, or if friend comes in to
see the cattle. The other necessity Is,
to both widen and deepen the gutter
behind the cattle, although this is not
as much needed, as the entire stables
are cleaned out twice "a day, and at
present cutters are / foot wide and 8
inches deep.

a very great deal wider and deeper

barn, was horizontal wire rope, of
such height that mans head could
not strike it. On this were a mum ber
of small rings, each of which had a
long cord h ranging to it, and at the end
of the cord was a common harness
snap. The whole thing looked

two feet from touching the floor. As

ANNOYING statesmen.
Some Examples of the Mistakes They
Sometimes Make.

A common annoyance to customers
in stores is one that undoubtedly is
never made the point or complaint in
the list that meets daily the ears of
the managers OF the different depart
ments. A customer will ask to see
some article. When it is Shown her and
she expresses dissatisfaction, and asks
If it is all they have, five times out of
six the clerk will say: NO it is not all
we have. but the other is more expen-
siye. Now, are the clerks instructed
to guard against customers becoming
extravagant? Or does their experience
enable them to tell at a glance Just
about how much a customer can afford
to pay for an article? If the latter they
make some serious mistakes at times.
Not long ago a woman came into the
city from a country town to purchase
fur cloak. 1t was raining, and she
covered her rainy weather attire with
a gossamer She went to the most
popular fur store in the city and in
look at mink coats. He showed
her an inferior grade. She did not like
il. He showed her little better grade.
Still she was not satisfied. The clerk
finally climbed up to one that was
marked $3.50. She wheeled around and
said: Young man, is that the best
cloak you have in the store?"
"No, certainly not. We have very
expensive ones"
''WeIl, show me the very best that
you have, and remember this, you never
can tell how far TOAD will jump by
the way it looks"
The attendant stared at her and
showed her a cloak marked $3.50. She
took it.
In another store-a book store-a
lady wearing d rather shabby sealsbin
asked for a second edition of Dante's
Inferno" She was shown one that
was not what she asked for. She said:
Have you not the one 4 want?"
"Yes, madam, but that is very expen-
sive.'
She gave him look that at least ex-
pressed great surprise, and said:
did say anything about the price?"
With a flushed face the clerk pro-
iuced the book. 1t was what the lady
wanted She paid the price and ordered
the book sent to her address. The name
was one that made the clerk vow that
never again would he make such a
blunder.-Teresa ii. Dean, in Chicago

KEEPING COWS CLEAN.

A woinsn's Interesting Contribution TO

Much of the trouble in keeping cows
clean could be obviated by boarding up
the managers on the back. or side farth-
est from the cow, so she could not
step forward at all. This detracts
greatly from the pleasure of looking at
the cattle (mine stand face TO face,
with six-foot alley between). and it is
also impossible, then, TO feed from the
alley. My present mode of tying /

for the cows, and nothing which gives
a better view of them, in easy and

When the cows get up, the rings run
up on the rods and spread out, SO that
the chain is stretched horizontally
across the big opening at the top of the
V. When the cows lie down, the rings
slide down, till they meet at the lower
point of the V, and the COW then has
all the slack there is. and can turn her
head and reach away back in her stall,
ard sleep with her head on her side.

all my life! But it did just exactly
what the owner wanted. As the cows
stood up, their tails hung in the nat
ural position, or pretty much SO; the
gutter was so deep and wide, and floor
of stalls so short, and stanchions kept
them from stepping forward, so that the
floors where they stood and lay were
spotlessly clean. Just then some of the
cows lay down, and the owner pointed
with pride to the fact that not one of
their tails lay in the wet gutter to after

true. There lay the cows, coutentedly
