A Negro superstition.

"While | was in Florida / was n
great deal amused at an incident | wit
messed which illustrated supersti-
ton that appeared to be prevalent
among the negroes" said a toSrist.
zone day an old negro who had been
out rabbit-hunting came home, bring
ing with him an immense rattlesnake,
which he had killed. He exhibited his
trophy with pride to crowd of tour
lists who were standing about in front
of the hotel. The reptile measured
six feet three inches and had twelve
rattles and a button. One of the
guests offered the negro dollar for
the rattles. The negro did not seem
to think that was enough for so valu-
able trophy, and said he would not
sell them for less than two dollars.
Just that moment another old negro
came upon the scene, and, upon hear
ing what was going on, said to the
owner'of the snake: 'Doan yo' cut Off
dem rattles.' 'Wharfo' won't cut off
dem rattles, eff kin get two dollars
for um?" demanded the other. 'Doan
you know dat eff yo' cut off dem rattles
yo go blind? When yo' cut EN- off, de
milk oh de snake fly up in yo' eye and
blind yo'.' The owner of the rattle.
snake pondered for q moment and then
he said: EFF any gentleman give me
two dollars for dem rattles, he can
have 'em; l cut 'em off, nd if go
blind, all right. Use seen enuff any.

CAUSE OF TUBERCULOSIS.
The Disease Is Simply Question of Toe
Much Give and Take.

The Disease Is Simply Question of Too
Much Give and Take.
1t would be well for dairy farmers to
pause and ask themselves what is the
cause of the rapid spread of this dis
ease, practically unknown until within
a few years. Have we in developing
the cows to their utmost capacity
weakened their constitutions? 1t would
appear as if this question would have
to be answered in the affirmative.
The production of milk is a serious
drain on the system of any human be-
ing or animal, and, in the case of the
COW, is often continued with little or
no respite all the year round and year
after year. In order to obtain the
largest possible returns, the cows ARD
kept in warm stables and given as
much rich food as they can consume.
While the owner thus succeeds in OBJ
tanning abnormal yields of milk, he
has also succeeded in giving his cows
delicate constitutions. They have be-
come like dollhouse plants, which fade
away and die at the slightest exposure
to the rude blast These dollhouse
constitutions render their possessors
easy victims of disease, Hence the
spread of tuberculosis.
Some people claim that the Jersey Is
the breed most liable to this disease,
and, by way of proof, point to the fact
of the number slaughtered for tuber-
culosis being greater in proportion
than that of any other breed. But the
writer does not hold this view.
More Jerseys have been slaughtered
simply because being, as a rule, more
valuable than animals of the other
breeds, more care has been bestowed
upon them; they have had more cod.
ding and coddling and delicacy go
hand in hand. The Jerseys are of
themselves quite as robust as their
rivals. 1t is not the breed, but the
system of caring for them that is at
fault
tuberculosis is simply question OF
too much give and take Let the
cows have more fresh air and exercise,
cooler if not cold stables and a smaller
quantity of less nutritious food. You
will then get less milk, but what is lost
In that quarter will be made up in the
possession of longer-lived animal, and
if you do not enjoy the envy of youl
neighbors at your milk supply, neither
will you receive their pity for your
slaughtered pets.-N. Y. World

1t often needs only few interven.
ing years TO change our most common
place surroundings into the most roe
mantle; often in but few years we
learn to cherish anything which recalls
to us old associations. am certain
that TO friend of mine no work of fic-
ton could ever suggest so much gem
uino comedy and tragedy as n unique
little album which she showed to me
recently. The book itself was very
ordinary one, of the sort generally
used for receiving clippings, but the
pages, instead of containing bits OF
fugitive verse, stamps or signatures,
were filled with an odd collection OF
dry goods. In the upper left-hand
corner of each page was fastened a
fragment of dress material; opposite it
clever pen and ink sketch of the
completed garment had been drawn,
and below was given written biog-
raphy of the same, containing all sorts
of interesting items in regard to it;
its price, its date of purchase and the
occasion of its first appearance. The
owner of the book was an artist and
had supplied the sketches herself, but
1t occurred to me such a book would
be interesting even without the
sketches, as the beauty of the pages,
to my mind, lay quite as much in their
suggestiveness as in their artistic ar
rangement.
Several other friends who have heard
of this book have been pleased with
the idea and have started similar
books. A young girl who is about to
be. married has decorated her first
pages with bits from a very dainty
trousseau. She intends to put in her
book piece of every dress she may
own.
a young mother has just commenced
such collection for her baby daugh-
ter. Should the child live to woman-
hood the book will be to her COM

youth, but also of the mother-lovc that

How to Make Powder Stick.

If you must use powder and it won't
stick on, try this: Get an ounce ortwo
of cocoa butter-costs about ten cents
an ounce and looks like tallow. Rub
it on your face brislSly until the skin
is well creased Take a soft linen
cloth and rub the butter off-and you
will wonder where all the dirt came
from; then repeat the process, this time
rubbing the skin well after applying
the butter. Again rub the face with
the cloth and apply it vigorously
After that rub on the powder and your
skin will feel like satin. You can use
it on the neck and arms the same way
and it is not likely to rub off and make
your skin look shiny. Cocoa butter is
a good skin food and is harmless.
