Consecrated Mustard Seed.

an immediate conservation contcnded

churchmen, however. asserted that

Get Out Doors,

Every woman owes it to herself and
FAMILY to get out into the open air,
and enjoy the life-giving sunshine.
Mothers and children who have been
confined more or less in heated rooms
oil winter, should now revel in pure
DIR. There is now nothing SO valuable
as sunshine, pure air and fresh water,
The sprnstime to many women is
suggestive only of hard work. They
are Soot! housekeepers, their tinware
ana stoves are always bright, their
washing done on Monday morning;
they may he going to move that day
into another state, but the washing
must be done first; there is no child's
name scrawled on their windows their
children never wore a torn garment
in their Lies, and their mothers never
read book to them or told them an in
tercsting story. The house of these wo-
men may be clean and pure, but their
minds will grow musty and cobwebby.
Nature will renew herself in the spring
time, and while our homes must be
cleaned and frightened, our own and
children's wardrobes made over and
added to, let us also take time to look
beyond our work, to brighten up"
soul and mind.
On these lovely June days there is
something at every turn to remind us
of the possibilities of life and to sug-
gcst: a way by which we may be instru-
meats for doing good. The beauties Of
natura pass in daily succession many
peo2ie without leaving any impression
whatever; many derive no satisfaction
from the scenery around them; they
have ro conception of the beauties Of
their own country. We know one
young lady that underwent great exer-
ton to collect flowers and ferns from
different states that she had visited,
and was ignorant Of the fact that the
same plants grew in the woods around
her own home.
Children should be interested in the
rising and setting sun; the sky, the for
est; and the animal and vegetable king
dom. They will be benefited by this,
and receive much pleasure that they
would hardly exchange for any other.
Children will do many useful things
which to them is only play; no child
will refuse 70 rake the garden and
gather the l,1:.s': together for a bonfire;
each child s'lc,;',. be given spot of
ground for his own favorite flowers;
the boys will take great interest in this
and readily make neat supports for
vines and slender plants. There is
nothing so conducive of good spirits
and that means good health as outdoor
exercise; neat lawn and growing
plants can be kept in order by the
mother and children, and will often in
vite you out when you would otherwise
remain in doors. Children will not be
SO restless ana cross and want to go
some place so often" if you will only
lead them and let them learn to love

The Ideal Husband

The pet theme of the sages has been
advice to mon in choosing wives, but
from the paucity of literature from the
opposite point Of view it is to be sup
posed that women had to take hus-
bands as they came and were not priv
LEGGED, OF, perhaps inclined, to choose
the quality of husband by a standard.
A good husband will want his wife's
respect, as we'll as her love, and a man
who doesn't bring credentials. unless
introduced by a reliable friend, is not
worth marrying. Trustfulness concern
ing comparatively strange men should
be eliminated from a woman's heart.
It's very beautiful, perhaps. in your
favorite heroine, but it's not good COLI
dition in practical everyday life. You
have no right to marry a man OF
whose past life you know nothing. A
man is always careful to select Il wo-
man about whom there is no mystery
when he choose mother for his child
rem, and a woman should be equally
scrupulous She may think that her
husbands family can be nothing to her,
but the laws Of heredity should play
an important part in the choice Of hus-
band and Wife. If the moral qualities
Of the man you love warrant it give
him your whole confidence, but don't
marry man whose moral qualities
require faith.
Love is an eccentric passion and finds
its affinity without apparent law. But
to endure through the vicisstudes OF
married life it must be founded on
solid respect and qualities of mind and
heart which 10 not govern love at all.
Benjamin }7r;,nSlin's advice to young
men to Choose from a banch' is quite
as applicable to husbands as to wives.
An only son, whether the only child
or the pet of q group Of sisters, is apt
to be badly spoiled, and the young Wo-
man, who has no notion OF being her
husbands slave, had better not marry
him.
That blot upon modern society. d.

it. can only be eradicatel by women.
Men whose youth has been given to
reckless dissipation are accepted nus

out too late what life means with such

a misstep are tramDled under loot.
Men whose lives are shameful are per-

DlRest!blllty of Cheese.

The digestibility OF various kinds Of
cheese has been ca efully tested by a
German chemist, who placed the sam
Piles in an artificial digestive fluid con-
tanning considerable proportion of
fresh gastric juice. Cheshire and Ro-
quefort cheese took four hours to d.
gest; Genvine Emmenthaler, Gorgon-
cola, and Neufchatel, eight hours;
Romadour, nine hours; and Gotten
berger, Brie, Swiss, and ten other va
rieties, ten hours. AS an ordinary
meal is digested in four or five hours,
the common belief that cheese aids d.

dies-a rare treat for them. The men
are well educated and Intelligent They
usually speak English, and they all
speak French. Then, too, the European
woman has an opportunity to visit the
harcm and penetrate the interior of
that mysterious spot. Here one sees
the native women without their wells,
and in all the splendor Of their jew
els, of which they are exceedingly fond;
and this is one Of the very few chances
which they have Of displaying their
possessions to each other. The little
bride of 10, 1T whose wedding O cor
respondent of darper's Bazaar was pres

three diamond tiaras an1 fifty-six
shawls! Her bedroom, which she fur
nislled herself, was very beautiful, and
among other luxurious appointments

on the washstand, fine linen towels
heavily embroidered with gold, silver
toilet-set OH the dressing table, and,
on the little table by the bed, gold
tray with gold pitcher AMI cups to

pean articles about the room showing
that the Egyptian woman is progress
ing in some directions at least, notwith-
standing her limited environment.
There is no church ceremony for the
bride; the groom goes to the mosque
and prays, she meanwhile waiting for
his return, seated on a throne in her
apartment and gazed at b. many wom-
en-. When the bridegroom came, at a
wedding witnessed By the correspond

her veil was put over her face, and
from an opposite door The procession
entered-eunuchs carrying torches,
singing women, and then the groom,
dressed in a conventional modern Euro
pean dress suit. He was a good-look!ng
fellow of twenty-five years. He had
been educated in France, and had i'm
bibed many progressive ideas. He ad-
vanced to the bride and raised her
veil, seeing titus her face for the first
time what an anxious MON AntD looked
at her intently for moment. and bent

The Work of n Dairy School.

The instruction is given, first, by lee
lures; second, by work at the separa-
tors, the churns and the cheese Yats, as
well as in the laboratory. Lectures are
given in the following branches: The
breeds and breeding of dairy cows. the
feeding of dairy cows, diseases of dairy
COWS, the chemistry of milk and its
products, bacteriology Of the dairy
products, physical problems connected
with the dairy, and the care and man.
agement Of the boiler and engine.
These subjects are presented to the
class by different professors of the uni
versity.
The practical work is taught in the
butter and cheese room, as well as in
the laboratory. The picture of the sep
arating room shows the arrangement Of
the seDarators. OF these all the latest
and most improved patterns are kept,
as well as OF the butter extractor. 1t

How Mcnhaden OIL and Guano Are
Made.
The process of extracting oil from the
menEadcn is very simple. When the
| fish is delivered at the factory it is
Immediately placed in large iron tanks,
containing about a foot deep of water.
Heat is then applied until the mass
begins to simmer, when the heat is
turned off. In this way the fish is more
thoroughly steamed, and the oil cells
are more or less separated from the
| flesh. Often, when the fish is rich in
oil, a considerable quantity exudes dur
ing the steamlng process. This is
drawn off from the top of the simmer
ing mass and runs in troughs to the
oil tank.
After the steaming the fish is placed
in ''curbs," circular vessels having per;
forated bottoms. and rolled to the oil
presses. Here the oil is released by
| hydraulic pressure. and the remainder
is simply the heterogeneous part of the
fish, which is called SCRAP"
The preparation of the scrap, or fish
guano, is very simple. After the oil is
released, the solid matter is taken to
the drying boards-a large field covered
with closely fitting tongued and groov-
ed fiooring-upon which it is spread to
dry. From first to last the greatest
care is taken that no foreign substance
shall become mixed with it. When
it is sufficiently dry it is bagged for
transportation, either to the manufac-
turer of artificial fertilizers or direct
to the farmer.
