 Gay little tease? Some pretty tale, TO doubt, Told by the bees, Or hint that the wrens let fall As they gossiped about the wall,
 Little Heartsease. What are you smiling over,
 Little Heartsease. That the winds stoop so low To hear it before they go Off over seas? The wind is a gossipy rover,
 Little Heartsease. The secret you trust to his ear Will be whispered afar and near,
 Told by the breeze. Whisper your thought to me,

 Better than these. Oh, wind in the maple tree,

in the book of the American Jersey Cattle
club. So she Is. No. 32,615.
Ida took the prize as giving more milk

COW III the Jersey class She was also
the sweepstakes COW, making more milk
and cheese than any other COW of any
breed on the grounds. She won the
prize as the COW giving the highest yield
of milk of any Jersey in one day and for
yielding the highest amount of butter in
seven days of any cow in the contest. A
description of this great cow in the Buff
falo Evening News, from which our cut
is reproduced, justly emphasizes the fact
that after all the trying months az the
Worlds fair, more than half year in
all, she came home in excellent condi-
ton, showing her splendid constitution
If Ida transmits this constitution, along
with her peculiar black and white color

a remarkable family of American Jer-
seys. She is the property of Mr.. c. A.

Monkeys of North America.

The White-throated Capuchin, or Sa-

poor little fellows who find the mon
keys purgatory on this earth. They
are les miSerabicS who 90 about with the
organ-grinder. dance when the chain is
jerked, and pass the tiny hat for the
pennies. Poor little beggars! How
much better for monkey is the hunt
ers's bullet in the leafy jungle than the
deadly hand-organ on the hot pavement,
and lifelong misery!
As a household pet, or a captive in a
ZOO the Capuchin monkey is the prince
of good fellows He is of good COM
Portable size, neither too small. nor too
large, fair in proportions, active, intelli-
gent, and docile, and decidedly affect
tomato. Many Old World monkeys are
treacherous and dangerous brutes; but
so far as human friends are con-
cerned, the Capuchin is nearly always
to be trusted. He has countenance
like pale, sad-looking old man heavily
burdened with care.
Out of "A large cageful Of monkeys Of
various kinds that once kept, the White
throated SapaiOu was the only thor
oughly satisfactory inmate. He was
sincerely attached to me. and whenever
] came near him would purse out his
wrinkled lips and complain to me about
his disagreeable neighbors at a great
rate. When frightened, his shrill rasp-
ing shrieks, and the expression of his
mobile face, made representation of
terror so perfect that tragic actor
might well have copied it. When coax
ing his keepers for food or attention, he
would thrust out his lips until they
formed a funny-looking little tube, and
say in plaintive tone, 'Poo-oo-oo-oor'
These graceful and interesting mon
keys are found in Eastern Honduras,
Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, and
northern South America. At home they
are not nearly so active and bold as the
spider-monkey, doubtless because they
are not all legs and tail like the spiders.
They not only eat fruit of all kinds, but
are also very fond of beetles and other
insects, eggs, and even young birds.
The tail is prehensile, but not power
fullyso like that of the spider-monkey.-

Devonshire Cream.

persons on, their return from their

can never get at home such delicious
cream as they have in England and Scot

pecially, know what it is, but suppose it
to be the particular rich cream of the
country in question, whereas every
American housekeeper may have Devon
shire cream on her own table If she will
take the trouble to prepare it. Rich,
new milk is put in a very shallow vessel
with an extended surface and is then set
on the range, where the milk will be
warmed, but on no account must it boil
or even scald.
1.-THE heat will cause all the cream to
rise to the surface in very short time,
and the pan is then taken off and placed
in the icebox or in cool place. When
thoroughly chilled, the cream may bs
taken off and will be nearly of the con-
sistency of newly made butter. This is
put in jars and at breakfast is helped
with spoon and is delicious with oat-
meal, jams, berries-everything, in fact,
that ordinary cream is used forts
merits being that not only does one obtain
the richest cream, but it will keep two or
three days without becoming sour. Why
this English dainty is not used in this
country 10 the same extent as in Eng
land is to be wondered at, but our dairy
folk seem to know nothing about It,"

Road Improvement In New Jersey,

The New Jersey system of state aid
in roadbuilding looks to the gradual
construction of a system of free macad-
amized roads. The advantage of such
roads is no longer a matter of debate.
The enormous tax upon agriculture of
system of wretched mud roads is pretty
generally understood. 1t is impossible
to convert all the mud roads into firm,
dry turnpikes at once. No community's
resources would be equal to that. The
work must be done gradually, if done
at the public expense, and that the pub
lie should pay tor it and keep the roads
free is becoming popular idea. The
tollgate has become obnoxious. 1t is
not as heavy burden on the farmer as
the mud road, but it is heavier than
would be the tax necessary to pay for
doing the work at public expense. -Ex-
change.

Churn on until the sound should bid you stop,

Next let the spiral wheel the butter press.
And knead the primrose mass TO perfectness.
Don't treat like dough. nor wiring it like clout,
But firmly, gently, drive the moisture out;
Then pat and weigh, and work with Scottish
hands,
And so to market send the best of brands.
But. oh. be careful where your butter made

Lest faint OF byre breathe in through open door,
Or poisonous sewage Turk beneath the floor,
Or scent II soilage from the farmyard harm

For butter, like human thing. is prone
To take from evil neighbors taste and tone.

Receive your pennies more for every pound
And know that none will grudge you what you
