RELlSHED SOAP SANDWICHES

A Dry Goods Porter Ate Them Content
eddy and Didn't Learn the Joke Until
Afterward.
Of all the harum-scarum youngsters
that ever | came across, said a well
known dry goods merchant recently,
the worst, l believe, were in my en-
ploy until last week. | had to dis
charge them-three office and stock
boys-at once, in order to restore peace
in the establishment.
The ringleader was about seventeen
years old, and worked in the stock.
His position brought him in contact
with the head porter, and between the
two there was continual warfare. 1t
started, believe, in a practical joke OF
the boys.
One warm day last summer the por-
ter had laid his shirt aside in the eel
lar. We happened to have there an
old stencil, used to mark a cheap
bleached muslin for export. The boy
stole the shirt and stenciled on it Mo-
hammmed Bleached Muslin Then he
called all the other boys and they be,
gan to jeer the porter, accusing him OF
stealing samples for his shirts. The
porter is as honest as the day is long
but the continued nagging prcyed up
on him, and at last he came to me, the
shirt in one hand and the stencil plate
in the other. Of course l laughed al
the matter.

porter was in the habit of eating his
lunch in the cellar, He brought il
with him in the morning and slowed il
away in closet until the noon hour
He was very fond of cheese sandwiches
One day the young scapegrace of boy
stole the lunch for while, and taking
d bar of yellow soap, cut generous
slices from it, He then removed the
cheese and substituted the slices O
soap. Then he told the other lads ant
they all secreted themselves to watch

My porter must have strong stom
ach. He ate the sandwiches withou
detecting the soap. Then to the disap
pointment of the boys, he turned owe,
on the top of a case, put his coat unde
his head and prepared to take nap
This was too much for the boys, ant
they pelted him with balls of Irvine
wads of paper and the like.
The man awo1e and chased the boy
for ten or fifteen minutes, Then Ton
became i'll, aud had to leave for tn

Feed Passage; G-Gutter; P-Platform.
A water supply arrangement may be
fitted in the feed-boxes if desired. The
gutter is IS inches wide and deep,
and should drain into some receptacle,
manure cellar or cistern, conveniently
placed.
The feed passage goes right through
the building, so that wagon load of
green fodder may be brought through
for distribution among the cattle.
Slipping platforms are provided for the

opening into the feedroom. stable
for calves is in the rear, so that they
may be fed conveniently from the main
passage
The walking stage is 61S feet wide,
and a door opens from this into the
feedroom for convenience of the att
tendant, as also another door from the
stalls. Plenty of doors save many
steps; but these doors should always
open into the stable and have springs
to close and latch them, that no acct
dent might happen by careless leaving
Of door open. Bins, of course, will
be provided in the feedroom.
1t is safest, especially with costly
cattle, to have sufficient partition be-
tween the cows that each may lie safe
from danger Of being trodden on by
her neighbor. By fitting up such a
stable as this with some attention to
ornament, it will make handsome
structure, while with the most eco
nomical style of building,i it will be neat
and attractlve-at least it has proved
SO in many instances.
The dairy-house should be sufficient
ly distant from the stable that no
offensive odors may reach it. This is
of the greatest Importance. For

MILK THE COWS CLEAN.
The strippings Usually Are the Richest
Milk of All.

Milk of All.
Divide the milking as done into four
equal portions, says c. R. Valentine,
and there will be ten per cent. OF
cream In the first part and forty per
cent. in the last. Cows should be
MIXED regularly and clean, the strip
pings being the richest milk of all.
The milk should not be kept any time
in the COW house. 1t would be better
to put it outside at once, if it cannot
be taken into the dairy Immediately.
The cream, upon being taken into the
dairy, should be strained through a
close sieve at once. If milk was
cooled to very low temperature i'm
mediately after it was taken from the
COW, 1t would keep very much longer.
The best position for dairy is quar-
ter under ground, out of the way Of
odors Of gas arising from the COW
house and the decomposition of ma
nure. The windows looking to the
north should be covered with perfo-
rated zinc, and the floor paved with
flags, which should be kept dry. 1t is
great mistake to think, with damp
floor, the milk will keep better; be-
cause the damp tends to the develop
ment of the organic germs which at
tack the milk. Nothing having an Of
fensive odor should be kept in the
dairy, such as onions and parffin oil,
which was sometimes the case. If, in
churning, the butter comes too quick
ly, it will be well to add little water
to it. The butter should never come
under twenty-five minutes. Cream
should never be completely covered
over.-Prairie Farmer

Right Temperature for Churn,ng.

The proper temperature for churn-
ing depends upon circumstances. Ex-
periments demonstrate that for churn-
ing ripened cream the warmer the
cream is to seventy degrees the sooner
the butter. The lower the temperature,
though it will require longer time,
the firmer the butter. From fifty-six
to sixty degrees in summer is nearly
correct, though each churner must de-
termine for himself, as the tempera.
ture of the churn and of the atmos-
phere must be considered. The tenn.
perature in the churn rises after
churning beginR, owing to friction.

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 the
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

ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

THE young princess who will soon
become the czarina of Russia is said
really to be, apart from the flattery
that her rank inspires, one of the most
attractive girls in the royal circles of
Europe. She is pretty, and in addition,
of elegant and distinguished carriage.
She is impulsive, clever, lively and
somewhat witty, But her health is
not good, and life on the bomb-threat-

make it better The princess is just
