in circle on the outside. The initial
letters of the names of these jewels
spell the word "Regard." This is the

there is one made of $1,000 worth of

WORDS OF WISDOM.
Tediocrity is unpardonable.

Mediocrity is objectionable.
Defeat is tonic TO brave man.
Good biography should not be oil
praise.
Success is sometimes mistaken for
victory.
A young man is theory; and old
man n fact.
There are one thousand good takers
to one good thinker.
An ungodly rogue stands no chance
against n godly one.
Do as little work as you can, but
make that little count.
The timid and weak arc the most
implacably revengeful.
No old cat but would like to bring
her kitten up rabbit.
A cause that cannot stand defeat il
not worth fighting for.
There comes time when pleasure
has no diamonds to pawn.
Let no good pass waiting for to-
morrow. You may not be here.
You never see II man around TO keep
compliments out of II newspaper.
Read good books, not trash. and try
to read little of them every day.
There is 50 much good prose that it
is not wise to waste time on poetry.
1t is necessary to meet good luck
half way, but bad luck will chase you.
II is to be regretted that man is so
constituted that he cannot forget his
foes.
II cannot be impressed too soon
upon child that life is n serious busi-
ness.
Talk rs though certain that what
you say will be accepted without argu-
ment.
Ambtion-a kind OF egotism-is
behind oil achievement and all excel
lence.
Some people would be very nice il
they could get over one or two bad
habits.
Many men wreck both fortune and
health trying to earn II dollar they do
not need.
Mothers Gre the only people in tho
world who never find out that they
have been proud without cause.
Human nature never changes. II n
man promises to do better than men
have done in the past, do not believe
him.

Effect of Dehorniny on Milk.

DIR. +. NJ. Gatchel, OF West Chester,
Penn. has within week examined
about 700 COWS for tuberculosis. Only
few cases were found. He thinks
that it will not be long before all the
herbs have passed inspection aud milk
from the county may once more be
shipped to Philadelphia. In speaking
of his examination, DIR. Gatchel made
this startling observation:
"There is one other evil wish to
call your attention to. That is in re-.
gard to using the milk OF herd OF
cattle on the days imme iiately follow
ing the operation OF dehorning. |
have examined quite a number OF cat.
tie after they were dehorned and found
that the temperature rose to lOi,
LOG, and, in some cases, as high as los.
A period OF eight or nine days elapsed
before their temperature went down
to nearly the normal. During that
period the owners continued shipping
the milk 20 Philadelphia. When II
cows temperature runs up to l0i or
upward her milk is positively unit Cor
use, and, dare say, may be deadly 10
infants
The custom of dehorning cattle is
practised by majority OF the Chester
farmers. This statement will probably
lead to n halt IN this dehorn ing bust
ness or to the stopping Of the ship
ment of the diseased milk. - Philade!,
