May Reduce His Weight.

On Jupiter, which is much larger and heavier body than the earth, Il man would weigh about ASA pounds whose weight on the earth would be 200 pounds. This man would weigh 2lS on Saturn. Coming to the smaller bodies we find that he would weigh less than on the earth His 200 pounds would shrink to 1SI on Venus, to 92 on Mercury, to 60 on Mars and to 30 ou the moon, while on the little asteroids, or telescopic planets revolv- ing between Mars and Jupiter, his weight would be from two to four pounds only. The matter depends on the mass and attractive force of tho planet

FORTY THOUSAND GIRLS.

They Are Acquiring Calm Nerves, Good
 Friends and New Accomplishments.
 'Forty thousand girls are now studying in the colleges of this coun- try, East and West, North and South, D said Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer speaking on the relation of girls col lege life to the American home,
 'lt is impossible that these num- bers of well-educated women, and the increasing numbers yet to come should not have tremendous influ- ence in the homes of the future. Of course. it is early yet to judge much of the effect on the homes of the col lege education of women. It is only twenty-five years since the first colleges were opened to women. All except the very few earliest graduates are still young women and really the an- swer to the question lies chiefly with the 40, 900 girls now studying in all the women's and the co-education col leges."
 Mrs. Palmer said that the question, which was once constantly asked, if it pays" to educate a girl, is by no means prehistoric. What good will it do her if she gets marriedP" is still frequently asked her by the parents of girls who are asking to go to college. The best that college does for clever girl, in Mrs. Palmer's opinion, is to give her calm nerves, good health, good friends and modest opinion of herself Her requirements, her con- tact with the learning of the centu- ries, make her broader minded, with resources that keep her from being bored. with lively interests of all sorts. and with something at least of the power of seeing great things great and small things small.

Dairy Dots.

If salt is properly applied, butter will not absorb more salt than is necessary to preserve it through the summer. If but ter has been worked too dry, so that the salt will not absorb, the dairyman will have butter that is too salt. Salt does not preserve butter It only seasons it.
 Quicker and better separation may be secured by adding water to the milk in summer. It is absolutely necessary to add water in the fall and winter When the milk is vicious, and below the normal temperature, 9S0, add warm water when you set it to cream.
 Butter is injured where Ice is put into the cream. Such a practice always in- jures the color of the butter Saltpetre is an antiseptic and serves to prevent decay, but it is not best to put into butter. It may do when put in immediately, but but ter is better without it.

was the time agreed upca and the place was an opening in a beautiful grove only five miles from town. All
 parties could take carriages in town at
 daylight and reach the grounds in time.
 Every effort was made to keep the affair quiet. so there would be no in- terruption, but some way it leaked out and before midnight half the men in town knew that Judge Hawthorne and Colonel Ashley would fight a duel at sunrise, but no one knew the exact cause of 1t Among others who heard of the affair was Colonel Ashley's office boy, and when he learned that the duel had been brought about by let ter he was very much alarmed. He had delivered Colonel Ashley's note to Judge Hawthorne. but he had been unable to find Colonel Harris. Tho conviction that he was in some way responsible for the coming duel grew on the boy until he was unable to sleep that night. He tried to find Colonel Ashley, but the colonel was in the hands of his friends and could not be seen.
 At daybreak on the morning of the duel Colonel Harris was aroused from slumber by loud knocking at the door, He went to the door and found Colonel Ashley's office boy. The lad was pale with fear and trembling in every limb.
 ''Please, sir, the kunnel's gone to fight duel!'
 "A duelP Colonel Ashley gone to. fight duelr
 "Yes, sir, he's goin' to shoot the judge, It's all about letter, and one of them's to you, so I thought maybe you might get there in time to fix it. Here's the letter sir. 1 couldn't find you yesterday"
 Colonel Harris tore the letter open, glanced at its contents, and at once knew terrible mistake had been made; the letters had gotten mixed. Without waiting for coat or hat Colonel Harris ran to his stable, mounted his favorite bay Ally, Nellie, and in five minutes he was riding towards the duelling ground at a derby winning pace.
 Clear and sharp two pistol shots rang out, but the anger of Colonel Ash ley and Judge Hawthorne had made their nerves little unsteady, and the bullets went wide of the mark.
 'Gentlemen, are you satisfed?"
 Both principals shook their heads and again they were placed in position. Before the second could give the word to fire flying hoofbeats were heard. and a moment later Colonel Harris rode up between the principals.
 'Stop this! Stop it at once, I say. It Is all @ mistake. Here is your letter, Judge; give mo mine; the boy got our letters mixedm
 Judge Hawthorne was forced to read the letter placed in his hands by Colo nel Harris. As he finished reading he threw down his pistol and going over to his opponent he said. as he extended bis hand: Colonel Ashley, it was all l have just received the letter intended for me. Iapologize and Nell lie shall name the day for the we'd ling"
 And you shall have Nellie, the bay lilly, for wedding present. said Colo lel Harris, whom he understood the natter. .--St Louis Republic.

Only Good Cows Pay,

Something depends of course, on skill in making good butter to make butter dairying pay, but more depends on having good cows. The farmer who has cows that make 800 pounds of butter a year can afford to apply the skill and labor necessary to make first-class article of butter. He who keeps cows that do not yield more than 150 pounds year cannot make as good butter, because he presump- lively has not much intelligence and cannot afford with such small product to hire it. The old maxim holds good,
 "Out of nothing, nothing comes. :"

 It is always better to thin the fruit than to prop the tree.
 A COW may be large and yet not be a profitable beef animal.
 It is not generally good plan to rely wholly upon new variety of corn.
 Remember that good grade stock has the advantage of scrubs in every way.
 If seed from any of the vegetables is to be saved, it should be only of the earliest and best.
 Fertilizers that contain good per cent of potash, give the best results when ap- piled to small fruits.
 Uniformity in size, color and weight will add to the value of a lot of hogs when they are ready to market. ' Liquid manure can often be applied to plants where it is desired to secure an ex- tra growth, with good results.
 Give the calves the run of a good pas ture; it is hardly good economy to keep them confined to close, dry lot
 Deep blowing and planting, level and thorough cultivation, are the essentials necessary in growing late potatoes.
 In keeping an account with growing crop, the work with the men and teams must always be charged against it.
 Of the seven to nine months required to feed hog for market, from five to seven of them should be spent in good pastures.
 Generally young animals give better return for food consumed than those which are matured, and this is especially the case with pigs.
 With the majority of farm products it pays to sort well before taking to market, The better price realized will make the work pay.

These horses arc then to be ridden on the high road distance of fifteen miles day for ten days. Four horses of artillery will be shod in the same manner and worked in draught After this d report on the relative value of the two descriptions will be made.
 This is a good move. and we presume it will be followed by other horses in different service till all these are thor oughly experimented. Am. Stockman.

Judge Hunt yesterday rendered a decision
OF importance to the mercantile interests OF
the community. 1t will be remembered
that Kuphal 81 Schumacher, of Helena,
made an assignment to Geo. IL. Hill about
a year since. The creditors not preferred
attached, Ginning the assignment was null
and void. There WAS n trial before the
court md the Judge holds that an assign
ment signed by one member of firm in the
firms name is invalid and of no effect aa
against an attaching creditor unless the
partner not signing is an absconding debtor
or is not capable of being consulted with
reference to the instrument. The court de-
cides that when the assignment was made
by Kuphal alone there was no evidence to
prove that Schumacher was an a%bscondinQ
debtor and that he should have assented to
tho assignment TO render it good as against
the attachments. The judge cited the de.
cisions of the supreme court of Montana tc
sustain his opinion and ordered the judg-
ments paid and the claim of Mr.. Hill az
/ assignee dismissed.
