BROWN SWISS CATTLE.
Description and characteristics of This
Milk-Producing Breed.

Milk-PrOducing Breed.
The prominent position held by
Switzerland as q manufacturing cen.
ter of cheese and butter is largely due
to the superiority OF Its two most
numerous races of cattlc--the Simmer.
thai or spotted Berne breed, and the
Schwytz or brown breed. The former
is but little known in this country, but
the latter under the name of Brown
Swiss breed, has sprung into promi-
nence within the last two years.
The native home of the Brown Swiss
cattle is the canton of Schwytz, Swift
erland. The first Importation to this
country was made about 1870. This
was succeeded by few other importa-
tions, and the demand slowly increased
until the remarkable record made by
Brienz fine specimen of the breed
during the fat stock show, at Chicago,
in 1891, placed the Brown Swiss cows
in the front rank as butter producers.
In size the Brown Swiss are above
medium, mature bulls weighing from
1900 to 1900 pounds, and cows from
LOO to 1900 pounds. The color is as
the name indicates, brown, varying,
however, from light to dark chest
nut shade. The hoofs, tongue, nose
and switch of the tail are always
black, while the light line is particu-
larly observable in narrow line along
the back, in the inside of the ears and
in tufts of hair between the horns. The
head is large; horns are rather short,
smooth and tipped with black. They
show the same m ealy ring at the muz-

take out the cinnamon and lemon peel,
stir thoroughly, and fill mold which
has been wet with cold water. When
cold, turn into dish and serve with
any favorite sauce, or simply with milk
or cream. II the favor of bitter

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in tho
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug

AN AID TO MILKING.
The Colleglan's Advice to His Father Re-
suits Disastrously.

suits Disastrously.
A college student in one of our
western states recently returned home
after his course was finished to find
that his father, clergyman with
small salary, was el1ing out his living
by running small farm. One of the
adjuncts of the farm was a COW. a
pretty good animal, which, however,
had strong aversion to being MIXED.
Here was an opportunity for a dis
play of the lately acquired knowledge
of the juvenile collegian:
Father" said he, Prof. c. says
if one will place weight upon a cows
back it will make her give down the
milk"
The reverend gentleman, favorably
impressed with this information that
his son had learned from Prof. G.,
decided 10 try the simple remedy. In
stead, however, of placing weight
upon the cows back, the clergyman
placed himself upon it, But then he
answered the purpose. The cow, how
ever, was still obstinate.
Tie my legs under the cow" said
the father to his son.
The son did so. But the COW, I'M
used to such unusual and arbitrary
proceedings, manifested her displeas-
IRE by rearing and plunging, entirely
unmindful of the dignity of the per-
sonage astride her spinal column. 1t
was getting altogether too interesting
for the two bipeds concerned In the
transaction.
Cut the rope! Cnt the rope!" shout
ed Mr.. v to his dutiful son, mean.
ing the rope by which he was attached
to the COW.
But the son, being somewhat excited,
cut the rope by which the COW was
fastened to the stanchion. At once
availing herself of the liberty thus Of
| fered, the COW took an unceremonious
exit from the stable, and down the
street she went. The minister accom-.
panied the COW, but IN manner not
exactly befitting the dignity of his
profession.
As it happened, one of the sisters oil
the congregation was on the street as
the race was in progress. Surprised al
, such sight the good sister cried out
"Why, Brother v, where are you
going?"
His sense of the ludicrous coming tc
his aid, Brother V shouted back
1.-THE Lord and the COW only know.

cued from his awkward perch, and
never attempted the feat again. -

The Best Way to Get Rid of Dust

What an intensely aggravating man
ner the little particles Of dust have of
insinuating themselves the thickest in
those corners and crevices hardest to
get at, where the knuckles are bruised
and the temper ruffled in the attempt
to get at them, that is if an old-fash-
toned cloth or feather duster is used.
The latest and best thing to use is a
buster made of the best soft and fleecy
sheepskin, pointed at the end to get
into the smallest corners, taking up
the dust into itself mot scattering it
all about the ROOM, and being so soft
it can't scratch the most highly-pol-
ished surfaces. Just the thing for
busting wood mantels, pianos, polished
stairs, your best furniture and picture
frames, carved and polished woodwork
and holdings. 1t is good-by to dust
and the old-fashione6 buster after one
trial Of this most effective and novel
dustar. -Demorest's Magaz zine.

The theory seems well supported by
practice that full as much ill-health
comes from over-eating as from any
other cause. Believers in this theory
now cite the fact that doctors and pre-
scription compounders have had less to
do during the late financial depression
than formerly. 1t is insisted on the
part of the anti-epicurean branch of
medical experts that this condition is
always peculiar to hard times. People
eat less because they have less to eat,
and therefore they are sick less More

they buy palmer food than when times

lied by the Sandwich Islanders.
In all the valleys of the Hawaiian
isles the tourist notices tree with u
quivering leaf which is light green on
the under side and dark ON top, which
he is told is the kullul, or candle nut.
1t is so named from the fact that in an
cient times the kernels of the nuts
were strung on the midrif of the cocoa
leaf and used as torches. AS the upper
most kernel burned off the next ignit-
ed, and so it burned until the last one
was consumed. The tree was very
useful one to the Hawaiian, not only
in furnishing light at night, but for
many other reasons. The nuts are in
cased in husl1 like our walnuts, but
II frequently occurs that two are
formed in the same husk, The kernel
is extremely rich in oil, which has
been expressed and used for house
painting, although it is but poor sub
stitute for linseed, in that it is difficult
to get it to dry and it always has pc
culiar odor. The natives use the oil as an
external remedy for some diseases and
especially as an aid in parturition.
Should you collect some of the nuts
you will find them good eating, but
should advise you to stop at one or two
or you will find you have an emetic
and a cathartic which will certainly
respond muy pronto, as the MeXicans
say.
The natives roast the nuts in the
ashes, and, having removed the shell,
crush the kernels TO paste, mixing
them with salt and pepper. This is
one of the most delicious and appetiz-
ing tests imaginable, and is an essen
tial element to good feed Of raw fish
and poi. 1t may be that if some of our
enterprising capitalists would go into
the manufacture of inimona, as the ma
tives call this paste, they might find an
ever increasing market for it. 1t GER
tainly is preferable to the suspicious
Russian caviare. The burnt shell of
the kukui was used for making an in
delible ink, with which tattooing was
done. The green husk contains an
acrid juice which has reputation as
remedy in diseases of the throat
From the bark of the tree there ex-
udes gum called plalc, which is
as useful as gum arabic or gum
tragacanth for many purposes.
1t was also used as medi-
cine by the Hawaiians in case of
dysentery, Being harmless, it would
be useful in confectionery in making
gumdrops and jujubes. The wood of
the tree is somewhat like our bass
wood, and is of little value in building
or in fencing, as it rots very speedily.
Sometimes the natives made canoes of
it, but never considered them of any
value. AS the trees die off in the for
ests their trunks and limbs are found
to be covered with an edible fungus,
called pepeiao, which was formerly ex-
ported in great quantities to the Chi
nese markets. To-day the lluliui nut
is largely used in the manufacture OF
jewelry, which is much priced by tour.
