LOST HER BOOMERS.
The Frightfuily Awful Dilemma of q
Chicago BicycIist.

Guests of the Stamford hotel, on
Michigan emu Were Mortified Sunday
at an accident to a young lady which
occurred right in front of that famous
hosiery, which has become a kin of
headquarters for those bicyclists who
make use of the magnificent South side
~boulevards. says the Chicago Tribune.
AT about 4 o'clock in the afternoon a
very dashing girl. with a little cap set
5auntily upon her blond ~ringlets, came
speeding down the avenue. She was
dressed in a very natty blouse and the
latest style of riding boomers, which
reached well down toward the ankle.
Just as she reached the hotel one of
h bloomer legs caught in between the
chain and sprocket of the machine and
IN an instant, going at the %scorching
pace she was, the entire bloomer was
stripped off her shapely right limb. The
spectators were for a moment p~aralyzed
at the extent of this catastrophe, and
two or three young ladies who were
just about to mount their wheels
brushed as red as a rainy sunset, but
the dashing damsel was equal TO the
emergency. With a deXtrous hand she
disengaged herself from the mangled
boomers and stood before her admir-
ing and astonished audience arrayed
in an extremely becoming pair of black
tights and trunks to match. Thrusting
the boomers into her blouse, she vault
ed lightly on her wheel and the next
moment was vanishing southwark over
he hard roadway at a two minute gait

start with q Good Cow.

Let the milk flow be what it may,
feed alone can not control the quality
of the milk, said John Gould recently
20 the students of the Ohio State uni
Jersity. The COW has an individuality
Of her own, a born milking habit, and
the greater the number of her ancestral
grand danes that have possessed this
milking trait, the greater the prob
abilities that this COW will possess like
qualities. Remember this. no mar eve
stimulated q COW into good perform
nee that did not have this born quail
tty of development to start with: but
thousands OF heifers that were born TO
make the best of COWS, have been ut
terly ruined by bad feeding, cruel treat
ment, and needless neglect. Success in
carrying implies that a dairyman
should raise his own cows, as far as he
can, and buy if he must. wisely. So he
must be a judge of cows, a collector of
dairy form and preferences and a
reader of COW character, a COW phren-
Dlogist, like Bro. Hoard, for example.
Better COW feeding and handling of
cows, to the average dairyman, would
carry with it greater success. All this
talk about making cows hardy, tough,
and constitutionally vigorous beyond
what we feed into them by wise selec-
ton, should be eliminated as quickly
IS possible from our dairy wisdom. At
best our COWS are boarders, and profit
means hat for part of the year, the
songer period the better, they shall pay
" rates so high that we can in aid
summer give them free entertainment
for a few weeks. | do not plead for
more fussing and pottering with this
oattv EY.A a IfFf1a ~ 10 fsnno1 "a 20 and
we should sooner begin the extra
care of the mixer. The plan of the
winter dairy is showing farmers that
profitable cost of this COW more
than a wide range of summer pasture,
and beginning to stable her Thanks
giving night. A really kind hearted
man may without thought. actually
abuse a COW by neglect. / have seen
this last autumn. a dairy of fast fresh
ening winter mixers stand for hours,
yes, days in the aggregate, in the chilly,
drenching rain, rounding their backs
as the deluge of water broke across
their spines, and go into camp at night
in the muddy fence n of a long
unprotected lane, and these COWS,
mothers, ever if cattle were contribut-
ing as best they could to their owners
living. l don't think he ever thought
OF the milking habit of these cows, as
a maternal function, artifcially pro-
longed. The intended food for OFF,
spring turned by the hand of man into
the channel of commerce, and so de-
MED them after offices of a mother.
No other ~benevolence of nature would
thus have contributed to him, save this
unbelievable beneficence of mother
hood whose Office is forever to give,
even if draining the fountains of life
support itself. Success must come
nearest to those who recognize TO the
fullest extent this underlying principle
of attaining success in dairying. What
ever will best administer to the com
forts of the mother COW. quiet, care,
warmth. comfort, s%ucculent and stimu-
lating food. pure air. clean water, and
regularity of attention will succeed; for
on this hang the law and the profits,
so far as concerns the COW.

"e"ieai seientt> -as.ag a Jolly Time
with English Aristocracy.

-" AhNAAsn AEfStOcracy.
The English public appears at this
moment 10 he under the spell of a
pacific spectre which disturbs severely
the peace Of mind OF the well-to-do.
With the advent of the epidemic OF
grin the doctors relied upon oysters and
champagne as a mitigating remedy.
Just at that time it was reported that
typhoid fever was a possible sequence
10 indulgence in the first. In conse-
az nee the hivalve was avoided. with
a corresponding Increase in the dose of
champagne. Following close on the
heels of this theory came the discovery
that death lurked in watercress. DR..
Nerdon, the medical officer of the health
BOARD Of lambeth. stated officially.
after an inspection of the various water
cress farms about London, hat the
plant was contaminated with sewage
water and consequently dangerous to
the health of the people of London,
VINO consumed all the Lambeth crop.
on top of this it was announced that
bread was positively dangerous unless
BAKED at a temperature of 100 deg. cen
Upgrade. As no one could be positive
that this particular degree Of heat was
employed in the brand which he con-
va bitdQ was lOOkGu upon WIFI
suspicion. To add TO this burden of
uncertainty, bacteriologists uttered a
note Of warning against the contami-
mating possibilities Of the common house
ny. II was clearly demonstrated by
THESE investigators, that. in default of
any othel explanation. the fly must be
held responsible for the spread of dis
ease. There is at least one advantage
IN the acute interest of people in the
bacillic theory. and that is the closer
attention which is now given to care
IN the preparation OF food. This is very
much in evidence in the kitchens of ho-
tells. There are mann of these in New
York where every person who has any
thing to do with the cooking, preparing,
or serving of ailments is required be-
fore he enters the kitchen to wash his
hands thoroughly with antiseptic soap
and TO dry them on a separate towel.
Care is taken that this process shall be
repeated at intervals during the day,
clean towels being provided for each
Gblution.

Series of Controversial Which Have
Added Notoriety TO His Fame.

~
Added Notoriety TO His Fame.
Whistler. the artist. always seems to
be having trouble of one sort or an
other. Just recently it has been about
his portrait of Lady Eden, which the
French court had ordered him to de-
liver Immediately or sooner Before
hat there was his controversy with
DuMaurier, in which he forcibly ex-
pressed his resentment at having been
introduced into the authors now
famous "Trilby." Many years ago there
was the famous libel suit against John
Ruskin, who. in a brief but singing
criticism Of the artists work, called
him a cockney. This sunk deep into
the soul of Whistler, who brought suit
Tor damages. to the huge e~ditication Of
the whole English-speaking world, the
proceedings being most entertaining
from start to finish At the conclusion
damages in the sum Of / farthing were
awarded to Whistler. and the costs,
which We're upon Ruskin, We're raised
by public subscription. The sum was
II, 500, and, as one of the subscribers
remarked:
Ten times thai much wouldn't he
too much for the public to pay for the
entertainment afforded by the suit"
once Whistler painted a portrait of
Thomas Carlyle-not for money, for
the great philosopher had none at that
time. After Carlyle's death a public
subscription was started in Scotland to
buy the picture and present it to a pub
nc library. Whistler asked 400 guineas
for tia small price for such a work,
but the artist set the price low because
OF his approval Of the scheme. When
nearly all the money was raised it came
to Whistler's notice that the subscrlp-
ton paper specially disclaimed any APP
prevail Of himself. his art or his art
theories. He promptly raised the price
10 1000 guineas. The picture is still
unsold. Another story told Of him is
his remark, after looking through the
house Of a multi-millionaire who had no
taste, but a amassed a priceless col
lection Of pictures and articles of vertu.
throughout the tour Of the house the
artist kept silence, but just before his
departure he turned to his host and
said:
ITS amazing, and there's no Reuse
Tor IT, That was his only comment.
