Lesson in MilL Drinking.

Few people know that there is good
and bad way of drinking milk. The
bad way is that which they generally fol
low, viz, to swallow a large quantity at
once. When milk goes into the stomach
it is instantly curlled, and il it is curdled
into one biz mass the juices of the stom-
ach can work on only the outside OF it.
This is the reason that many people who
like milk, and to whom it should be of the
utmost benefit, cannot drink il. They say
it gives them Indigestion, and they are
right. Let them give it another chance.
But this time they must sip it slowly. not
taking more than good teaSpoonful at
one sip. and taking at least four minutes to
finish the glassful. Each little sip thus
becomes cudled up by itself when passed
into the stomach, and the digestive Juices
pcrcolatc freely around it and it speedily
becomes aesimiIated. One of the best re-
stOrativcS known after excessive fatigue.
and one infinitely preferable to any form
OF alcohol, is glass OF hot milk The
heat seems TO Tighten it and to deprive it
OF much of the the sweetness which is so
cloying To some tastes.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
value of Good Roads.

The Iowa farmers are waking up to the
importance of good roads for the transac-
ton of their business and as an aid to
their interests. They have called a con-
vention at Des Moines for Aug. Is, at
which steps are to he taken to prepare new
road laws for presentation to the next leg
islature. In that way the farmers will
come to an agreement and understanding
as to just what they need, and they will
be organized for concerted action. This is
a step worthy of the attention of the farm
ers of other states. Main lines of thor
oughly well built roads, constructed on
scientific principles, throughout the coun-
try districts of Vermont, would add more
than anything else could to the value of
our farming lands. They would make an
immense reduction in the aggregate cost of
transportation and would practically bring
every farmer just so much nearer market

of the FIRST session of the JIst Congress.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Mail and Express gives that pa
per chapter of very interesting and signid-
cant facts. The present Democratic house,
he says, has gone on record as the most eX-
travagant of any American Congress- The
great howls about the billion-dolar Con-
gress will now have to cease, for the first
session Of the Fifty-sccond Congress has
gone over 81, OOO0 600 more than the total
for the first session OF the Fifty-first.
The cheeseparing Democrats have tried
in vain to keep the figures quiet, and when
it was announced that the excess would he

for this year runs over S2G, 100000 excess.

The Folly orthe Overdravy check.

Perhaps one-half of the misery that
horses suffer is caused by improper check
ing. A loose checkrein, particularly of the
od-fashioned kind, drawing at the side of
the neck, may be useful piece of harness.
and, if unchecked in going up hill or in
drawing heavy load, will not cause any
considerable discomfort. But where is the
excuse for the check which draws straight
back from the top of the head, allowing alb
solutely no downward movement and pro-
viding for perpetual dead strain? There
ought to be roll of honor made of the in
creasing number of people who drive with
ont check-rein or with a loose one of the
side-drawing kind. If you will look at
horses that are so driven, carving their
heads with natural curve of the neck,
you will decide, first that they are happier
and, secondly, that they look better than
the horses with their necks straightened
ont and their heads drawn up and their
noses pointing forward, as if they were
stretching out after bunch of hay. We
know that fashion. often departing from
nature, DEGREES the most ungraceful things,
anu that, after We have become accustomed
to these fashionable mOnstrosities. they
seem natural and beautiful to us: and
poor Nature herself is despised and scorned.
We need a return to nature in many ways:
and We shall not only exhibit HUMANITY
but also the best taste, by preferring the
horse in his natural proportions and car
rlage to the horse that is mutilated and
drawn out OF his normal shape.

Evidence that VIII Astomish the Eng

Ben Abou" in the New York Press
When the Boring Sea arbitration takes
place the English government will be as
tonished by the evidence that will be pro-
duced by the United States to prove that
the Canadian seal poachers are literally des-
troying the seal life in the Northern Pacific.
| was talking yesterday with Mr.. c. b.
johnson of Seattle, Wash, when he said
to me: THE United States government
will not be lacking in very valuable evidence
of the course pursued by the seal peach
ing vessels of Canada. | know young man
who enlisted in the crew of a seal poach-
ing vessel which went out from Vancou-
yer, and spent three months in pursuit of
seals for the sole purpose of finding out the
truth about the pursuit of female seals with
young and the number of seals killed in
order to secure a single skin by the seal
poaching vessels. His evidence is all in
the hands of the government at the present
time and, by the way, he is not an Ameri-
can, but an English citizen. He told me
that on the average the number of seals
killed by Canadian pOaching vessels where
one skin was secured was fully six or seven.
He saw the killing of innumerable female
seals in the open waters and the mothers
dragged upon the boats where it was pos
sible to recover them from the water, while
the infant seals who were 80 to 100 miles
away on the coast were left to starve i'm the
seal rookeries. He heard the men talk
about landing upon the islands about Alas
ka, where they killed the mother seals,
knowing that the infant seals for whom the
mothers We're seeking food would speedily
die, He told me that he was not alone in
being able to give this information to the
government, but there would be ample tes-
timOny TO the same effect

One hardly likes to say the word ''eti-
quette when the question is that of being
kind and lovely in one own family. Yet,
II members OF the same household used
little more ceremony toward each other, no
harm would be done. What true gentle
man would treat his mother or his sister
with less courtesy than he would a chance
acquaintance? No one would greatly re-
spect a boy whose custom it was to let his
sister trot about on his errands-run up
stairs for his handkerchief, fly hither and
thither to bring his bat or his racket.
| well remember the surprise of a young
lady when, in a certain family, the brother
sprang up to light the gas for his sister,
and, when the latter attempted to put some
coal on the open fire, quickly took the hod
from her hand and did the work himself
You wouldn't catch my brother being so
polite to me- she said. $50 much the
more shame to your BROTHER thought.
Every boy ought surely to feel a certain
care over his sister, even Il she be older
than he. As a rule, he is physically strong
er, and consequently, better able to bear
the burdens of life than She There is
nothing more charming than the chivarous
protection which some boys (bless them y
lavish on their fortunate "women folks"
Ana nothing is so attractive to other girls
as to see a boy gentle and tender to his
sister
As for you, dear girls, you would never
be so rude as to fail to acknowledge any
courtesy which your brother paid YOU? If
you would deem it extremely unadylikc
not to thank any person who gave up his
seat in the horse-car to you or who helped
you across an icy spot on the sidewalk, you
should blush to be less grateful for SINH
lar kindness on the part of your brother
If he is ready to place chair or to open
a door for you, to make sure that you have
an escort after dark, to take off his hat to
you on the street, surely you are eager to
please him,-tO sew on stray button or
mend rip in his glove; to thank him for
taking pains to call for you and bring you
home from a friends house; to bow as
politely to him, and to accept him for a
partner with the same pleasant smile which
you would have for some ones else brother.
A boy should learn the habit of easy
politeness in all circumstances; but, if
there be one place on earth where one
should use freely his very best manners, it
is in his own hOme.-EpiUOrh Herald.

lied system that we have constructed will
be in force here. Heretofore Russia has
had no agricultural statistics and the peas
ants have lived from hand to mouth.
They are not economical or thrifty nor
accumulative in our sense of the word and
it requires a study of their character and
their condition to understand the situation.
Thirty years ago they were in the condi-
ton to great extent of our slaves in
the South, and if today the negro and the
planter had been left to work out their sal
aid of the money and the push of the
North, they would probably be of some
what the same character as these people
are here today.

Great Fails and Canada Railway Charged
with Importing LaboE

GREAT FALLS, MoNT., March 26.-On
good authority it is said that the Great
Falls and Canada railway, running between
this city and Lethorldge, Northwest Terri
tory, will be cited to appear IN 4 few DAYS
before the United States district court at
Helena, to answer a charge Of violating the
alien labor law on a number OF counts.
Several months ago this company en-
ployed one Buchanan, hiring him in Leth-
bridge, where the labor market is over
stocked, at $50 month. and brought him
TO this city to work in the yards. He dis
covered that his wages were lower than
the usual scale for similar services and de-
manded $40 per month, whereupon the COM
pany discharged him. In retaliation he
proceeded to Helena and made a statement
10 the United States district attorney.
Assistant District Attorney Mcdonald
has been here the past week Investigating,
and he is reported to have discovered other
cases Eof n like nature also; that the
company is IN the habit of having their
locomotives, which are of American build.
repaired in Lethbudge, in violation of law,
because of the same difference in the wage
standard. Buchanan has been placed under
bonds TO appear as the complaining witness.
