A custom like this has spread, of
course, among neighboring tribes under
various forms. That of the Abyssinian
braves is described by Mr.. Mansfield
Parkyns. The girls themselves play an
active part there.
When young people are gathered for
amusement, after church festival, for
instance, one of them will begin peel
ing straw of green millet, which is
full OF pith Her lovers blood runs
cold probably, but he must smile or
own himself carve. When she has cut
the pith into bits an inch long, he
stretches out his bare arm. The exam
pie set, every girl who respects herself
and has a lover follows it. The young
men form circle, with their arms ex-
tended
Blithely, then, with many jest
doubtless, the maidens arrange their
bits of pith, upright, in some fanciful
design, on the bare flesh and set them
alight. They are nearly an inch thick,
and they burn very slowly, but the
hapless youth must stand and smile as
well as he can till the blood and juices
of the scared flesh extinguish them

Dairy and Creamery.

It is recommended that in winter,
when it is impossible for creameries in
some localities to get sufficient supply
of milk to churn every day, that the man
ayers try pasteurizing the cream. Then
it will do to mix with fresh cream cou-
pie of days later, so that the churn will
not have to run every day. After the
cream is separated, heat it to from 100 to
100 degrees F. and then cool it at once
down to go degrees. Ripen the pasteur-
lied cream with starter either of sour
cream or fresh buttermilk. Experiment
cautiously at first.
Ointment for caked udder: Take cup
of vaseline and thoroughly stir in equal
parts of spirits of turpentine and spirits
of camphor, or saturated camphor, as
called by some; beat up thoroughly and
rub udder, or apply to any wound.
A winter dairyman who won firstprize
for the best paying herd of 10 cows in
New Jersey aims to have two-thirds OF
his cows fresh from Aug. 90 to Christ
mas. He says COW will produce 20 per
cent more milk for her feed when she
comes in fresh at this time. Then in the
spring when she is inclined to fall off
the grass comes and keeps up the flow.
Do you want to start a dairy herd
on small means? Get a few common
cows that are noted as rich and heavy
mixers. Then spend your money in
buying thoroughbred bull of dairy
breed Get the breed that suits best for
your purpose, according as you want
milk or butter. The Holstein- Friesians
give a great quantity of milk, but you
want to mix it with that of the Jersey or
Guernsey to give the most satisfaction
to your customers who buy milk. Breed
your common cows to the dairy bull.
Breed the heifer calves of this product to
the same sire again. Thus in about
three years you will have your herd
finely started. But do not use the same
bull with more than three generations of
the same blood.

The Ruling Passion.

He loved the winsome lass with
love none the less ardent because she
was clerk in dry goods store, and
he had met her there behind the coun-
ter when he had come in to make pur-
chases.
But she was no ordinary girl, and he
knew that if he won her as his own
it would be no easy conquest.
For weeks and weeks he had been to
see her, and for weeks he had hesitated
on the brink of a proposal which in
volved all his happiness.
Yet the girl did not seem to realize
how near she was to him, nor that any
moment might precipitate the final
question.
However, these things cannot con-
tinue forever, and one Sunday after
noon as they were walking his voice
became low and tremulous, and she
looked up shyly into his face.

ask you question:"

A triumph of mechanical ingenuity,
unsurpassed in its line, is recorded at
the celebrated tin works, Swansea,
Wales. The iron from which the sheet
was rolled was worked in hnery with
charcoal and the usual blast afterward
taken to the hammer to be formed into
a regular fiat bottom, thence conveyed
to the balling furnace, and when suffi-
GENTLY heated taken up to the rolls,
heightened and cut by shears into prop
or lengths, piled up and transferred
10 the balling furnace again. When
heated, it was passed through the rolls,
back again into the balling furnace,
and when duly brought to the proper
pitch taken to the rolls and made into
a thorough good bar. Subsequently,
at the tin mills, it was rolled till it was
supposed to be thinner than 23 grains,
afterward passed through the cold rolls
to insure the necessary polish, the re-
suit being the thinnest sheet of iron
ever rolled-that is, the sheet was 10
by 5 % inches, or 55 inches in surface,
of only 30 grains weight, which, being
brought to the standard of 8 by 81
inches, or A surface inches, is but 16
grains, or 80 per cent less than pre-
vious attempts, at least 800 being re-
quired to make one inch in thickness.

Under the Wrong Flag.

The following amusing story is told
of the late DR.. Wilkinson, formerly re-
corder of Hartlepool: He was an en-
thusiastic advocate of the first great re-
form bill. One day, walking out in the
street with an equally Jealous friend, a
highly respectable gentleman like him
self, he saw approaching a great pro
cession headed by band and ban
ner. The latter, as it streamed in the
breeze, was seen TO bear an inscription.
This could not be quite made out, but
the word reform was conspicuous in the
midst of it. This was quite enough for
DR.. Wilkinson and his friend. Without
a moments hesitation they joined the
throng and marched proudly along
with the rest. But presently the
wind dropped little, and the legend
on the banner beanie fully legible.
Great was the horror of DR.. Wilkinson
and his companion to find that the pro-
cession they had so eagerly joined, and
in which they had proved such promi-
nent figures, was one of Reformed
Drunkards. London Figaro.

ANIMALS AND MUSIC.

A Composer Thinks All Living Things Sem
sitive to Musical Tones.
''The Influence of Music on Man, AMI
mails and Plants" was discussed by Di-
rector Asger Hamerik in lecture at the
Peabody conservatory. Of the second
part of his subject he said:
''There is no doubt of music's power

ject to the influence. The spider, the

1.-THE song of the bird and the Growing
of the rooster are not their conversation.
They have kind of chirping for that.
What. then, do the song and the Growing
mean? Joy, contentment, exultation-as
with man. When rooster has had n
good dinner, or when the sun shines
brightly and warmly, or when any other
cause makes it think that life is worth
living, the rooster crows joyously. Mu-
sic is with man also an expression of
emotion, but with him it has been re-
duced to a science and is not, therefore,
used naturally for every expression Of
happiness, as with the uneducated and
unscientifc rooster or songbird.
II believe that everything created, like
ourselves, with ears, is susceptible to mu-
steal tones, and it is probable that, if we
could only find il out, there is musical
material in all such animals that could
be developed and cultivated in some
baltimore Sun.

BUTTER FLAVOR.
The Matter With It In the Columbian
marry Test

The Matter With It In the Columbian
Dairy Test.
There is a nice little illustration in
the Columbian dairy test. The Jersey
butter scored lower than either the
Shorthorn or the Guernsey butter on
the point of flavor. This was true right
along with the same butter maker ham
ding the whole and doing it by the
same treatment. This came like clap
of thunder from clear sky, as there
has been nothing heretofore from cred
table source to show any inferiority IN
Jersey milk in point of flavor. On the
contrary, the difference, if any, was con-
sidered to be the other way.
But it did not teach, after all (this Co
lumbar test did not), that Jersey milk
makes poorer favored butter, except
when handled in that way. The treat
ment was such with all the milk as to
bring out the flavor better with the other
kinds than with the Jersey. There was
still a chance that the Jersey butter
would rank in flavor with the others If
SO handled that the flavor would be de-
veloped.
Accordingly, for the last week of the
80 day test the Jersey cream was ripen-
ed by John Boyd, the Jersey man OF
Elmhurst and the inventor of the Boyd
ripening system, and, lol it at once went
ahead of the other two. This proves
that flavor is very materially influenced
by the butter maker. Bad flavor is real
" always the fault of the butter maker;
it is his business to detect and reject
spoiled milk and to make up good milk
or good cream into good favored butter,
with never break in the record.
To go even further, Professor Hacker
of Minnesota has actually demonstrated
that he can make butter of excellent
flavor from stale and badly tainted
milk bv cultivating the flavor produc-
ing germs in pure milk from the station
herd and using some of this milk as
starter to develop flavor in the ripening
of the cream. Professor Georgeson's re-
ports from Denmark also show the IN
iuence of ''cultures" to produce the re-
ouired flavor, but ordinarily the butter
maker can master the situation without
recourse to these cultures. Ii he rlpens
as he should, he will have good flavor,
for this is proved every day in many
creamery. If he does not ripen as he
should, he will always have poor flavor,
and this is proved far too often for our
credit.
The responsibility lies with the butter
maker. He must secure the right flavor
or stand guilty. He need not use start
or if he has no call to do so, but he must
attain the desired flavor, for it is attain
able, or stand convicted without the BEN
eft of the clergy. We write thus plainly
because justice to the efficient workmen
as well as Justice to the consumer de-
mands that this terrible sacrifice of mon
ey shall cease. The demand of the times
is that professional butter makers shall
be experts and shall do their whole duty
and be suitably rewarded for it.-Cream-
cry Journal.

THEY DEFY IMITATION.
Invention Can Supply No Substitutes For
Whalebone or TeazeI.

Invention Can supply NO substitutes ror
Whalebone TeazeI.
With all our boosted labor saving
machinery and modern inventions there
are numerous articles entering into the
economy of manufacture which seem
crude and simple, but which defy i'm
provement.
No one, for instance, has ever been
able to find substitute for whalebone.
With the diminution of the supply and
the enormously increased cost of the ar
ticle, scores of inventors have turned
their attention to the article and at
tempted to supply substitute, but up
to the present time nothing as durable,
tough and pliable as whalebone has re-
suited.
Another article without which no
wooden manufacturer could prepare
certain goods for the market is the tea
gel. 1t is absolutely essential in rails
ing a nap on cassimeres and soft wool
en- fabrics, and although scores OF imi-
tation teazles have been invented none
is found to give the satisfaction OF the
odd little burr, with its stiff little
hooks, which is SO extensively exported
and cultivated for the cloth finishing
trade.
Persons who have never seen teazel
can imagine a fur cone, set all over
with little barbs. 1t is really burr,
or flower head, or thistle top of the
plant dipsacus, and SO identified is 1t
with cloth dressing, and SO long and so
L. flr Of fha foo1al
for the purpose mentioned, that 1t is
even reflected in its botanical name,
Dipsacus fullonum, or fuller teazel. p"
However familiar the teazel may be
to persons familiar with wooden manu-
facture, or to those who live in coun-
tries where it is extensively cultivated,
the fact remains that the great major
ity of persons have never heard of such
an article and will be astonished to
learn in what enormous quantities they
are raised.
In France alone 5000 acres of land
are exclusively devoted to the cultiva-
ton of the teazel. French manufac-
turers use annually nearly 50, 600, 600
worth of the prickly heads and export
during the same period upward of co.
600 tons, valued at So, 10000. When
it is considered that a teazel weighs not
more than an ordinary burdock, the
vast quantity exported can be realized
In part.
In addition to the French crop, which
is the most highly esteemed, teazels are
produced in enormous quantities in
Austria, England, Belgium, Poland
and the Crimea. Until recently they
did not grow satisfactorily in the Unit
ed States, but now they are quite ex-
tensively grown in Oneida county, in
this state, and possibly elsewhere, and
1t is said return fair profit to the Gull
tivator for the outlay of money.
The prickles of the teazel have
small knob at the end, and this mount
ed ON an elastic stem, and set with
great precision ON the central spindle,
which, revolving, claws the surface of
the cloth, raises a nap which mechan-
ical contrivances have always failed In
equaIing. -New York Herald.

adays is that they breed to suit them
