Oct. Is. 1887, under the name Of Melba,
as Gilda in "Rigoletto" at the Theatre
de la Monnaie, Brussels. So immediate
and brilliant was her success that the
tntendant, who had arranged for sin
gle performance only. engaged her for
term, and she appeared as Lakme,
Violetta, Ophelie and Lucia. Subse-
quently Sir Augustus Harris engaged
her for Covent Garden. and in the sea-
son Of 1888 she made her debut in Eng
land in Lucia" with a success we'll
remembered by all opera-going Lon
doners. Then followed another long
engagement in Brussels, after which
she returned to Paris, and having
studied under the composer the part of
the heroine in Ambrose Thomas Ham

praised by the French critics. Nine.
Melba next studied in the role Of JUL

Strange Mystery Surrounding Two

Strange Mystery Surrounding Two
Missouri Deaths.
Several days ago Ada and May Wolf
enberger, aged 16 and 10 years, re-
spectively, daughters Of the proprietor
Of the Midway hotel at Oregon, Mo-,
mysteriously disappeared. A few days
later fishermen using a seine in the
Missouri river, near there, brought up
the body Of Ada. The arms Of the
girl were pinioned behind her and her
limbs were bound together with a
strong cord. There was other evidence
Of foul play. The body apparently had
been In the water three days or more.
Further dragging Of the river revealed
the body of May. Complete mystery
surrounds the case. 1t is supposed the
girls were enticed away from home
and murdered. Great excitement pre-
walls over the affair. The girls were
half sisters, both daughters Of c. NJ.
Chambers, living near Bartlett, Ia, and
the youngest was a daughter Of Mrs.
Wolfenberger. Of Oregon. Mo-, who for
merly was C. n. Chambers wife. The
girls were very mysteriously drowned,
but the friends think it was q case OF
suicide on the part Of the older girl and
that she drew the younger with her

either that she had thus secured them
herself to avoid involuntarily escaping
death when she should make the fatal
leap into the water. or else that she
met with foul play.

Our Dairy Interests.

The dairying interest Of the United
States has grown to be one Of great
magnitude The home value of the but
ter and cheese product, exclusive Of the
value of buttermilk, skinned milk,
whey and other residuum, amounted in
the census year of 1890 to about $751;
900, 900, Of which amount about $780,
600, 900 were for butter. OF the total
number of pounds of butter produced
but 2.47 per cent was exported, while
Of the total quantity Of cheese made 81
per cent was exported. The consump-
ton Of cheese per capita Of the popula-
ton in the United States was Eta
pounds in 1870, 2.30 pounds in 1880, and
EST pounds in 1890. The consump-
ton Of butter per capita increased from
1928 pounds in 1870 and 1873 pounds in
1850 to 1877 pounds in 1890. It will as
tonish the average dairyman to know
that while over 80 per cent Of the
cheese Is made in factories, only is

tat1On through the narr0w-mlnd-
edness Of certain factorymen;
we have lost the trade Of $4,000, 900 of
consumers across the water. Well.
what shall we do about it? Cry over
It? Not at all. Let us take a lesson
from our neighbors, then let us turn
right around and say, Where is the
market?" Granted that We have lost
the English market, in part, is there
any other place where we can put our
cheese? Why, bless your soul, there are
$1,000, 900 Of people right around us.
Which would you rather have, 65.OOO.-
600 American people to feed cheese to,
or $4,000, 900 Britishers? A gentleman
came to me this morning and said: Il
have got a cheese in my store and
want it analysed. I believe it is filed
cheese; it is no good" Another one
came to me last fall. and said: What
can be the matter with all the cheese?"
He went on and described it and it was
evidently filled cheese I told him it
was, and that was afraid it came from
most, we hear of examples Of this kind:
the country Is flooded with them. How
long can business be run on those prin-
ciples and succeed? How long can peo-
pie who are catering to others keep
them from eating good cheese? We are
furnishing such poor stuff that nobody
Is going to eat it. 1t won't take long
to crowd the cheese of our tables en-
tirely with other kinds of foods. Now,
let US cater for the home trade. Why,
Wisconsin cannot begin to supply those
IS, 000, 900 Of people with cheese. Wis
consin, itself, could eat quite large
part Of all the cheese she now makes, if
our people were properly educated and
had the right cheese. have people
come to me every day and tell me they
do wish they could get piece of good
cheese, Between feeding our people
culls and spurious food, We have pretty
nearly killed off the demand.
We now have things headed in the
right direction; we have dairy school
at Madison, which, hope, is doing
some good; we have better laws on our
statute books; We have our organiza-
tons; before me are lots of young men
full of the desire to do something bet
ter; full of the desire to better them
selves by lettering the business In
which they are engaged. Now, I ap-
peal to those young men to stand to-
gether firmly for honesty. Begin by
up your factories, so that
there are fewer of them with more milk
to work up.
We must begin to run our factories in
q more clearly way. The truth is, we
are awfully dirty. A gentleman told
me about buying a factory up north,
where he had to tear up the floor and
scrape out over one foot Of solid dirt,
which was filed with putrefying mat
ter, and carry it off and dump it into
fields and haul in clean earth, before
he could start his factory. You all
know that there is lots Of filth in the
factories. We had number Of Ger
man and Russian professors brought
over here by the Worlds Fair, and
they were simply disguised with our
American methods. They had heard
about our American factories and ev-
pected to find something fine. but in
stead Of that they found little dirty

the perches scraped out. The nest

the dust box is placed in the sunniest
spot, and the feed and water troughs

the sash is loose, so it may be moved
down for ventilation. The floor should
be covered by sand when obtainabls, II
not, with straw, chat, or other like
material that can be raked out when
soiled. The whole interior should be
given a coat Of fresh lime whitewasn

perches swabbed with kerosene. This
poultry house is easily cleaned, and
answers the purpose nearly as we'll as
one costing twenty times as much.

Twain and Health.

The latest interesting characteristic
Of Mark Twain to be made public is
his capacity for preserving good health
on only four hours sleep a day. This
seems incredible, though his life as
pilot on the Mississippi may have
trained him to do with less sleep than
ordinary men. Mr.. Clemens is said to
spend his mornings reading and smok-
ing, and his afternoons writing and
smoking. In the evening he reads and
smokes again.

How Do Fowls ROOst:

Do fowls read the weather? An
old Pennsylvania farmer says they
do. Have any Of our readers 40
ticed such facts as he states in the fol-
lowing:
81 always know when there is to be a
windstorm by watching the turkeys
and chickens go to roost each night. In
calm weather the fowls always roOst
on their poles with their heads alter
mating each way; that is, one faces east.
the next west, and so on. But when
there is going to be high wind they
always roost with their heads towards
the direction from which it Is coming.
There are reasons for these different
ways Of roosting, take it. When there
is no wind to guard against they can
see other danger more readily IL they
are headed in both directions, but when
wind is to arise they face 1t because
they can hold their positions better.
But the part can't understand" he
concluded, lis how the critters know
that the wind is going to rise when we
mortals lack all intimation of tx.

as they rarely sell at price that will
pay for shipping them, although they
are a good table fowl and especially for
any one that is fond of wild game.
They are most profitable for eggs, as
after they begin to lay in the spring
will lay regularly, at time when 1t is
usually desirable to use considerable
number Of hen eggs for Matching.
The eggs are smaller, but the shells
are thicker and harder to break and the
egg itself is richer in nutriment, in pro-
they sell at the same price.
Guineas are very tender when small
and require the very best of treatment
until they get well started to growing.
After they get well feathered they will
take care of themselves better than
any other poultry on the farm, and for
this reason they will in a majority Of
cases be found proftable.-American
Grange Bulletin.
Should Have q Few Sheep.-Every
farm, If 1t Is but a dozen acres,
should have its few sheep, and a small
orchard grass pasture for them to run
in. This grass is the earliest Of all and
will afford a full bite a month before
timothy Is available. As this grass
has a very loose open growth it is well
to SOW the small red clover with 1t.
Mutton is becoming more and more
popular, and the small flock will sup
ply the farm home with the most ac-
ceptable meat, after the poultry. The
farm meat clubs will be found very con-
venient for the disposal of mutton, for
four families can easily consume a
mutton carcass In the warmest part Of

each other the few members may be
always supplied with fresh meat of the
finest quality and at the very cheapest
