A Motto at q Funeral.

There are women who, if offered the
choice between matinee and funeral,
will poll tremendous vote in favor Of
the funeral The dramatic opportunity
is only negative pleasure-the trap
pings of woe are positive sensation.
There is story told that a good though
eccentric dame long since gathered to
her accounting, in whom this passion
was abnormally developed, arrived in
town from her country place one day on
shopping expedition. This lady heard
of the death of mere acquaintance and
learned that if she hurried to the house
she would be just in time for the funeral
services. Shopping, as compared with
mourning, had no charms, and the lady
fastened to. the house of sorrow. Now
the constant travelling companion Of this
good woman was brown linen atrocity
in the nature Of ahandbag or roll. Upon
this bag, embroidered in large letters by
the misguided person from whom it was
q gift, was a motto. Arrived at the
house, our friend insisted upon having a
seat as near the casket as was possible,
and that achieved she placed the brown
linen structure across her lap, then set
tied herself with sigh of satisfaction.
The letters upon the bag, held within a
few feet of the deceased lady and visible
to all the mourners, spelled the words.

Little Lulu Was Honest.

The loss of thousand dollar bill is
serious matter, but it's matter for con-
graduation when it falls into honest
hands and is returned to its owner, as
Orlando E. Bradford, dentist, of $40
Third avenue, will attest.
He went to Station F Friday afternoon
to register letter. He carried with him
his handbook, in which was thousand
dollar bill.
Just after the dentist left Lulu Wolff,
ten years old, who lives above the station
with her mother, entered. Her bright
eyes discovered on the floor a brown
covered book, from the ends of which
protruded piece of green paper.
The child picked up the book, and COM
pretending what the green paper was
started on run up to her mother
The mother, who believes that honesty
is the best policy, straightway donned
her hat and cloak and started for the
general postofice, where she hunted up
Superintendent of City Delivery E. M.
Morgan.
Superintendent Morgan notified Den
fist Bradford that his money was safe.
When the dentist received the message
he threw himself back in his chair in
great relief.
He hurried down to the general post
Office and got his recovered bill. It went
down deep into pocket, and out of an
other pocket came two ten dollar bills.

FARM NOTES.

With all sheep the softest and finest
wool lies on the shoulders.
After burning up the trimmings and
other rubbish, give the ashes to the
trees.
To keep butter from sticking to the
churn the latter should be thoroughly
scalded.
1t is said that 1000, 600 acres of land in
Colorado is now watered by artificial ir-
rigation.
Pumpkins are excellent food for hogs
and cattle, and sheep soon learn to eat
them with relish.
Milk should be aerated as soon as pos
sible after it is drawn, and it should be
cooled at the same time.
Since last October 469, 6S5 bags of po-
tatoes have been imported from Great
Britain, and 9,099 bags from the CONT
nent.
Hog-raising should go hand in hand
with dairying. Sweet whey, butter
milk and skim milk are profitable food
for pigs.
Canadian packers recommend farmers
to raise grade Yorkshire and Tamworths
as the beau ideal of bacon pigs for home
and export trade.
An exchange reports that grease weed,
which is invading the country from the
north, is likely to prove almost as dam
aging as the Russian thistle.
If cultivation is neglected this month,
it will very probably be impossible to
give the crop proper attention after
ward in the rush OF harvesting.
While the raising of stock enriches the
soil and renews its productiveness, it is
also better way to market farm prod
ucts than shipping the feed away.
AS a result of the tuberculosis scare
| a firm of Jersey breeders announce that,
if desired, they will submit every ami
NAL sold by them to the tuberculin
| test.
In summer there is less danger of i'll
results following careless feeding so far
as the health of the COW is concerned,
but there will be the same loss of feed
and milk as in winter.
The prevalence of tuberculosis among
| Ayrshire cattle abroad is attributed
chiefly to inbreeding for the sake of Sc
curing the quality which the judges at
at the shows set so much store by.

OLD SCOTCH SUGGESTIONS.
Tie Many Absurdities That Chung houn
the Ceremony of Baptism.

Tie Many Absurdities That Chung ROUND
the Ceremony Of Baptism.
Tins ON the birth Of child-to be-
rin at the beginning-it was impera-
tive that both the mother and baoo
should be s'sained" -that is, III cam
die was carried thrice round the BED,
and 8 Bible. with a hammock or some
bread and cheese, was placed under the
pillow and kind of blessing muttered
to propitiate the ''good people.
Sometimes a fir candle was set on the
bed to keep them off. If the newborn
showed any symptom of fractiousness,
it was supposed to be changeling, and
to test the truth of this superstition the
child was placed suddenly before peat
fire, when, if really changeling, it
made its escape by the 'lenn, " or Chin
ney, throwing back words of scorn as it
disappeared. There was much eagerness
TO get the babe baptized lest it should
be stolen by the fairies. If it died un-
christened, it wandered in woods and
solitary places, lamenting its melan-
choly fate, and was often to be seen.
Such children were called "tarans. ;"
Allan Ramsay, in his "Gentle Shep-
herd describing Mause, the witch,
says Of her:
At midnight hours DER the kirkyard she raves
And houks unchristened weans out of their
graves.
It was considered sure sign Of i'll
fortune to mention the name of an "un-
christened wean," and even at baptism
the name was usually written on slip
of paper, which was handed to the Off
ciating minister, that he might be the
first to pronounce it. Great care was
taken that the baptismal water should
not enter the infants eyes, not because
such a mishap might result in wailings
loud and long, but because the sufferers
future life, wherever he went and what
ever he did, would constantly be vexed
by the presence of wraiths and specters.
If the babe kept quiet during the cere-
.mony, the gossips mOurned over 1t as
destined to short life and perhaps not
a merry one; hence, to extort cry, the
woman who received it from the father
would handle it roughly or even pinch
it.
If male child and female child
were baptized together, it was held to
be most important that the former
should have precedence. And why? In
the Statistical Account of Scotland, "
the minister Of an Orcandian parish ex-
plains: "Within the last seven years he
had been twice interrupted in admins
tering baptism to female child before
a male child, who was baptized imme-
diately after. When the service was
over, he was gravely told he had done
very wrong, for, if the female child was
first baptized, she would, on coming to
the years of discretion, most certainly
have strong beard, and the boy would
have none All the Year Round

FEEDING THE COWS.
Much Said and Written About
Standard Rations.
TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN DAIRYING

Much Science Must be Brought Into
Reauisition to Make the Rations Cor
rectIy Balanced to Fit the Physical
Requirements of the Cows.
There is a great deal being said and
written nowadays about standard ra-
lions for COWS, and much science is
brought into requisition to make those
rations correctly balanced to fit the phys
ical requirements of the cows. Every
young farmer who hopes to become sue
cessful in dairying should study such Ia
bles and become accustomed to technical
terms, so that he will know just what
they mean wherever he sees them. Hav-
ing done this, he should learn the cost
of different cattle foods delivered on his
farm, whether raised or purchased.
Knowing this, he should then make his
own standard ration, and whenever he
cannot get the materials for making that
standard without paying too much, he
must look for substitutes In kind and
quality.
The ration, as estimated, is most con-
veniently the food for twenty-four hours
for cow weighing between 800 and 900
pounds. This much can be done with
books, and is a very useful part of the
lesson. The real test of merit in this
work comes from the actual feeding OF
COWS. The rations may be most sclen-
tifcally correct and fed in exact proper
tions, and yet fail to produce or return
the first cost, which should not have ex-
ceeded from Is to 20 cents day per COW.
The best dairymen claim to make butter
worth so cents pound on ration not
exceeding Is cents day. But it will be
seen that when the ration costs ~ cents
the cow must give at least one pound OF
butter day in order to pay her board
bill and do much better than this II any
money is to be made out of her.
With COW in good condition, fat and
fresh, and the ration properly mixed,
the test may be said to have just begun.
The individual characteristics OF each
cow are not to be studied. One will find
big eaters and small eaters, big mixers
and small mixers, rich mixers and
those that give thin, poor milk. All the
virtues, or all the faults, are not to be
found in any single cow. A general
average must be reached. For this do
as little guessing about them as possible.
Weigh the milk of each cow at every
milking, and test the butter fat in the
milk often enough to learn what her
standing is. Now comes the vital point
of how much to feed her. Having learned
this, the work will not have to be re-
peated during her life.

WASHINGTON, September s. The
much-mooted German question was de-
cided by the Supreme Lodge OF the
Knights of Pythias to-day by decisive
vote against permitting the use of the
ritual in other than the English Ian
guage. Two votes were taken-first on
the substitution of the minority report
to give the German lodges five years
grace in which to adopt the English rit-
ual, resulting "a to Al against the minor
itv report. Then the majority report
was adopted by vote of 70 to 81. The
gist of the majority report is found IN
the following recommendation:
"That the Supreme Lodge rean-
nominees and affirms the declaration
made at the Kansas City session, and
that henceforth and forevermore the rlt-
nal used in this and all other English
speaking nations be printed in the Eng
fish language only, and when the stand
ard of our order shall be planted in any
country speaking other than the Eng
lish language, the ritual therein shall be
printed and all concerns over which the
BODY has control shall be conducted only
in the language of such government, to
the end that it may be known to all men
and all nations that surrounding our al
tars Pvthian Knights are taught as one
of the cardinal principles of our order
undying loyalty and devotion to the gov
eminent to which they owe allegiance,
whether it be the land of their birth or
the country of their adoption"
The report commends the Supreme
Chancellor for his action in unfolding
the law in this matter, and was signed by
four members of the committee-Stanton
L. Charter, Thomas d. Mears, L. P.
Hunt and Aaron Myers. John P. Pusse
of Indiana was the author of the minor
ity report, which recommended that the
lodges which have remained loyal to the
Supreme Lodge, and who were working
with rituals in other languages when the
last ritual was promulgated, be furnished
with rituals in the language they were
previously using for a period of five years,
after which they shall surrender them
and use only the English. Three hours
debate was had. The principal speech
of the minority was made by Representa-
tive FeatherstOne of Wisconsin, and Tor
the majority by Representative Carter
of Colorado. 1t was argued against the
minority proposition that if five years
were granted the German lodges they
would apply for another extension OF
time at the end of that period, and the
whole question would have to be fought
over. Sitting in committee of the whole
the lodge has approved the unanimous
report of the committee on the statement
of the order recommending that saloon
keepers, bartenders and professional
gamblers be ineligible to membership,
but not affecting those who have already
become members. The question has not
been acted upon by the Supreme Lodge
proper. The same committee recon-
mends that the Supreme Lodge protest
against the use of the name Pythianism
in connection with side ranks.

VALUABLE RULES.
How to Estimate the Exact Weight of
Live Animals.

How to Estimate the Exact Weight of
Live Animals.
The following rules may be applied to
estimate the weight of live animals :
Take string; put it around the beast,
standing square, just behind the shout
der blade; measure on a foot rule the
feet and inches the animal is in circum-
ference-this is called the girth; then
with the string measure from the bone
of the tail which plumbs the line with
the hinder part of the bullock; direct
the line along the back to the fore part
of the shoulder blade; take the dimen-
sions on the foot rule as before, which is
the length, and work the figures in the
following manner: Girth of the bullock,
six feet four inches; length, five feet
three inches which, multiplied together,
make thirty-one square superficial feet !;
that multiplied by twenty-three (the
number of pounds allowed to each super
fetal foot of cattle measuring less than
seven and more than five in girth), makes
713 pounds. Where the animal meas
ures less than nine and more than seven
feet in girth, thirty-one is the number
of pounds to each superficial foot.
Again, suppose pig or any small beast
should measure two feet in girth and
two feet along the back, which, multi
piled together, make four feet square !;
that multiplied by eleven (the number
of pounds allowed for each square foot
of cattle measuring less than three feet
in girth) makes forty-four pounds.
Again, suppose calf or sheep should
measure four feet six inches in girth and
three feet nine inches in length, which,
multiplied together. make 161a square
feet; that multiplied by sixteen (the
number of pounds allowed to all cattle
measuring less than five and more than
three feet in girth) makes 264 pounds.
