"Afusical comedies will be the future
legitimate plays" said Mr.. McVicker.
"Things are tending in that direction now
that is, they will take the place of farces
and light opera. Now, in the dramatic
line think such plays as Margaret Elem
ing and Alabama will be what the pub
lie want. Here is an example of the dia.

picked up a manuscript copy of the play
"You know the story?" continued Nc
Wicker. On his companion protesting
ignorance, he said: There is Philip Elem.
ing, who has wife much too good for q
man of his disposition. He is not true to
her and betrays a girl working for him IN
his factory. But, mind you, it is the
moral it teaches and not the story that
makes it truly great play. Here are
some of the closing lines of the piece
this is after Margaret has found out her
husbands in6delity:

I've been like an escaped prisoner that

the punishment. I'm captured at last,
and without hope or fear-I was going
to say without shame-I ask you, my
judge, to pronounce my sentence.
Margaret-That's a terrible thing to
ask me to do, Philip
Philip-Of course you'll get divorced

Philip-Suppose could come to you
some day and say, Margaret I'm now an
honest man. Would you live with me

Margaret-The wife heart has gone out

it will come back again. Who knows9

AS they clasp hands, something latent,
organic, rushes over her. She masters it,
puts her hand aside: "Ring that bell.'
Mr.. McVicker concluded, laying down

The Milroy lectures this year were
on the natural history and prevalence
OF diphtheria says Youths Cmpsnion.
The lecturer gave it as his opinion
that soil and geographical formation
have something to do with its prevail
Rnce; it is especially common in damp
valleys and in England it is most pre-
vailent during the last three months
OF the year.
The greater number Of persons at
tackled are between and ~ years of
age. and the liability is greater be-
tween two and five years.
Many attacks of diphtheria are ac-
companied by simple sore throat and
tonsilitis. and many apparently sim
pie attacks of sore throat have really
an infectious character. The same
fact has been noted on this side of the
Atlantic.
Some physicians look on diphtheria
and scarlet fever as notifications Of
the same disease, and the occurrence
Of both in the same family seem at first
sight to countenanos this view. But
the theory Is disproved by the entire
absence of diphtheris in several thou
sand cases of scarlet fever in the
London fever hospital.
The probable explanation OF the occur
renee Of both in the same family is that
the condition Of the throat in a family
affected by scsrlatina affords soil for
the reception of the diptheric poison.
When diptheria does occur in con-
nection with scarlstina. 1t Is almost
always a sequel to It So too, the
sore Threats due to bad hygienic sur
roundiDgs and imperfect drainage fur
nish excellent soil for diptheric mi
crobes.
Many cases OF dIptheria end unex-
pectedly in fatal heart failures. some
times when the patient has seemed in
fair way of recovery. II such cases
post-mortem examination reveals a
fatty and granular degeneration of the
muscular fibres OF the heart
This fact emphasizes the need of
prompt treatment to secure the speed
lest possible recovery. 1t follows
TOO. that in all cases, until complete
recovery. everything should be avoid
ed which makes demands on the heart
a very slight effort often being fatal;
and that the physician should always
make careful examination of the
heart and advise accordingly.

One of the things dairymen in a To-
cality where the dairy industry is just
becoming noticeable need to avoid is
rushing into the manufacturing OF
butter and cheese before there is SUI
ficient material to work. and so col
lapse the enterprise by simply lack
of material 10 work with. The Prairie
Farmer of Chicago says that in Hi
nois alone there are 800 creameries
standing idle from the fact that they
were built in advance of their needs
and then says further. that the greater
share OF these erearneries were erected
through the 'boomingn talk of .un-
scrupulOus agents for creamery firms.
who by spurious talk and palaver, in.
duee subscription for starting cream
cries in VIGOROUSLY unsuitable local
tiles. Then the enterprise (?) fails
for want Of material to work
with and what is worse these
agents get about twice as much as
the outfit is worth 10 start with. and
the result Is that the dairy interest
gets a setback that will take years to
recover lost grounds and then 4 new
outfit will need TO be purchased. Not
very long since the writer stood in the
office OF dairy supply house and
heard one Of She directors OF one of
these dead creameries pleading TO sell
the machinery at SO cents on the dol
lar. and that without avail. Why?
Simply because-5 per cent was about
what should have been paid for It in
the start. Don't build creamery
until there are 500 cows in sight and
pledged for eight months out of the
twelve. for two years at least. Then
build 81. 500 creamery and go TO
work ON visible stock. and thus avoid
an air castle that is sure 10 collapse.
rs other hundreds of creameries have
already done when started on false
assertions and too sanguine hopes.

TO infer that the fat Of the butter is
chemically combined with the water
in 1t an altogether wrong impressions
this water is simply mechanically
mixed with the fat and persistently
remains there because no amount Of
working can get it out, just as no
amount Of wringing will make dry
towel out OF wet one; the two cases
are exactly parallel The same writer
says with apparent good reason that
milk with larger fat globnles
yields drier butter than milk
with small globules on the
same amount OF working; this Is
reasonable, because less water would
be entangled by the coming together
OF fewer large globules TO ioim The
first little grains of butter than by
the coming together OF the larger
number of small globules necessary
TO form grains OF the same size ms
water cannot he essential TO the flavor
of the butter or any other quality.
except that being in the liquid form.
In among the particles OF the fat 1t
will be saturated with the salt that
has been worked in; thus it may take
an indirect part in this quality OF the
butter that it shall have a certain
degree OF sadness; and yet this IS IN q
certain sense an artific al taste; every

Ducks are easier fed than chickens.
The hen ceases to lay when improperly
fed.
Young puIlets do not make good
mothers
Stock ducks should not be allowed to
get too fat.
1t is only in rare cases that it will pay
to keep hens over three years old.
Rats are very fond of young ducks and
this is one trouble in raising them.
With poultry as with other stock, it is
always an item to breed to improve the
quality.
Poultry fattened on corn and celery has
better flavor than when fed on almost
anything else
In feeding, scatter the feed SO that the
fowls will not eat too fast especially the
little chickens.
With geese, as with other kinds of
fowls, the most profit is realized by keep
ing the better breeds.
To secure the best results raising geese.

There is no more reason in doctoring
