THE HUNT IN FRANCE.

now the Hounds Are Worked In Pursuit
OF the Stag.
The cowboy on hunt in the Rockies
tracks his game with a dog or without
one, as the case may be, finds the quar-
ry that day or the next, and brings it
down, If he is fortunate, some time dur
ing the week. In France it is quite .
different matter.
Long before the marquis guests are
on the train coming down from Paris,
lorg before the marquis himself is up
in his hotel in the Faubourg st. Ger
main-just at dawn of the day, in fact,
and while the morning mist. is
in the valleys and hanging over
the pools-the chief piqucur has
sent out valet de chiens,
with limier in the leash, to discover
the lair OF a stag. These limiers are .
variety of hounds bred for this one
special purpose: and partly because
they know the habits of the deer SO in
timately. and are SO practiced in this
one work, and partly because they are
too old for any other use, they are
kept for this work alone.
Both hound and man are old stagers;
and they make wise pair, the one
with his fine instinct and scent, the
other with his knowledge and eye
sight They go out in the first light
of tho morning, with the keeper in
the lead, both calm, and imbued with
n sense of the responsibility before
them. With his long tried experience of
the forest and his knowledge of all the
''runs" and eeding-grounds, the keep
er makes q shrewd guess, that has some
elements of certainty. as to where they
may come upon a scent He stoops,
picks up some leaves, holding them to
the hounds nose, and the keen animal
sets about covering" the spot in the
vicinity. The moment he stumbles on
scent he is completely changed. His
stern begins to wave, his hackles rise,
and. from q tagging brute, he becomes
ar active, intelligent being. Things
are reversed; he takes the lead now,
pulling the harhorer after him. yet
neither man nor hound utters a sound,
and even the brute steps carefully to
avoid rustling the autumn leaves.
While the hound rubs his nose along
the ground, going wherever the scent
leads him. straining on with feverish
eagerness, the man, letting himself be
led slowly. watches for signs that
would be quite invisible to an untutored
eye. And SO. rs instinct keeps them to
the course the stag has wandered over
during the night, reason is making up
conception of what the animal is.
The man measures the distance be-
tween broken twigs on either side Of
the course, estimates thus the spread

you shortly the animals age,

The principal causes of impure milk
are: Impure air in the milking place,
bad food, foul water and filth; and as
they are all causes readily controlled
they are inexcusable. The farmer who
exposes his cows to such conditions has
no right to complain of low prices and
lack of customers. On the contrary, he
should he fined for imperiling the pub
lie health by attempting to place on the
market tainted article which is liable
to spread disease. If farmers would
only unite and bind themselves to cb-
serve scrupulous cleanliness in oil the
branches of milk production they night
readily double its consumption. The
.'cowy" odor and the black sediment
are the greatest hindrances to the rapid
development of the industry.

Should the game be Of the wrong sex
or less than three years old. the good
hound is broken away from the trail
and sent to search for new one. For
a French sportsman is no indiscrim-
mate slayer of youth; and then, too.
the marquis must have quarry Of the
right age, or the run may be too short
or too slow.
These two silent beings make q
ghostly pair. straining along out of
the thick mist, going with unerring
wisdom along the record the stag must
always leave behind him. just as sure
to come up with him in time as
If they were crawling toward
him led by q sillxen thread that wound
about in the labyrinths of the woods
1t is fascinating, il you 60 ont with
them some morning, to see the two in
telligences working together, to see
the hound understand n long detour
that will bring them mp on the leeward
side of the quarry. and to watch him,
when he at last knows where the stag
is lying, look up At his master from
the corner of his eye as As stands mo-
tionless, heading towards the thicket
that shelters the deer. They know
their business well.-Hamb:en Sears,
in uarpcris Magazine.

o,n.u,rn. for Bruised Trees.

Mr.. $. ID. Willard, in the Rural New
Yorker, states that nothing is better
for covering the bruises on trees than OIL
shellac with, perhaps, little flower
Of sulphur and a few drops of carbolic
acid. which last Ingredient should be
used very sparingly. The mixture can be
applied with a paint brush. For the
exclusion Of the air from wounds, it is
suggested that q grating wax, made of
for parts Of resin, two parts Of bees
wax and one Of tallow. melted to-
gether, poured into water and immedi-
ately worked and made up into half
pound rolls, is convenient to have ready
for use. Held in the hands SO that it
IS softened, small lump Of it may be
spread over = wound, and it will re-
main for some time and keep out air
and germs of disease. II the wound is
large the application may need to be
repeoted.

Skim Milk for Calves

There is an impression with many
farmers and dairymen that skim milk
is rather thin diet for calves; and we
see constantly in the dairy papers rec
concentrations that it should be REIN
forced with flaxseed meal or jelly made
from the ground seed or cake. So far
rs oil or fat is concerned. says ]. Nc
Lain Smith. in the Farmers Home
Weekly. this addition is all right. But
fiaxseed. and especially the ground
cake. is exceedingly rich in protein;
and this is just the trouble with the
skim milk. 1t is deficient, not In pro-
tein, but in carbohydrates-fat and
starch. The best single addition to
rk..a milk for calves as soon - they
can eat Is corn or oats

THE FAIRY STONE.

It II Fouad In Virginia and II Supposed q
Re . TallsmAn Against Evil
The Mother Of Statesmen" has pro,
duced = number Of good things from
first to last-chivalrous men, fascina
ting, soft-voiced women. fine horses,
and the like, but that a popular fad
should originate with her is an alto
gether new departure. Everything
must have = beginning, however, and
who knows, now that the fairy stone
has found such favor in the world oi
fashion, what possibilities she may de-
velop in this direction? These queer
bits of petrified earth are indigenous
to Patrick, . southern border county
Of Virginia, cut of from Henry, and
called, like the latter, in honor of the
statesman and orator, Patrick Henry.
They are not excavated for, but lie
loose upon the surface of the soil. and,
though restricted to two or three parts
of the county. exist in great numbers
and various sizes.
Upon each stone . representation OF
the cross is distinctly, though deli
cately, traced. and q legend concern
ing them states that q band of fairies,
dwelling at Jerusalem during the life
Of our Saviour, and witnessing the aw-
full scene on Calvary, were SO Mortified
by it that they fed to this remote re-
gion and transformed themselves INTO
these petrified emblems- This legend
has given rise to innumerable super
stitiOns. and from time immemorial the
stones have been worn as amulets by
those living in the vicinity in which
they arc found.
The reputation was local, however,
until that era in Virginia's history
known as 1.-The boom" Then her su-
perstitions and sacred traditions, along
with her other comodities, became OBJ.
jects of barter. Speculation fixed its
calculating eye upon the fairy stone.
and it was taken from its native bed
and experimental with an order
that it might be rendered mar
ketable. 1t was soon discovered
that no tedious process was
necessary for its development Alarge
instrument passed along the outline
stamped upon its surface converted
the jagged stone into a symmetrical
cross. q little polishing and a plunge
into bath of boiling oil gave the re-
quired smoothness and the rich ma
hogany color one sees In the stone of
commerce. A tip of gold at the four
extremities and q ring to which chain
might be attached gave the finishing
touch to it. and when thus simply
mounted fairy stones sold for ono dol
lar apiece.
The traditions concerning their won
der-working power are as inexhausti-
BILE as the beds from which they are
taken, and would furnish endless
themes to writer's of fairy tales and
folklore stories. They are supposed
to ward OF evil and bring good luck
to their possessors. but in order to do
this must be worn around the neck
and next to the person.--Gilberta 8.

buildings and connected with the
spring (B) by the l-inch pipe (E). The
distance between spring and reservoir
is 400 feet. Midway along this line
of pipe is the windmill CD, which
pumps the water into the reservoir.
In the same drain with pipe (E is laid

These are supplied from the larger one

place the large reservoir high enough

the water can be pumped direct from
the spring to the reservoirs in the

the reservoirs be larger than where they

NICE. SMALL CHEESE.
How IL Can Re Made on the Farm fVP
Family Use.

Family Use.
Nice, small cheese may be made for
home use in this way: The milk of two
cows may be set at night in deep pail
in cold water. This will check the
rising of the cream. The morning
milk may then be mixed with the milk
of the previous evening. after it has
been warmed to the same heat as the
new milk. The rcnnet, of which one
ounce is enough for 100 pounds Of milk
and 10 pounds of cheese, is stirred in
the warm milk in a proper vessel. This
is covered and left until the curd is
made, and becomes tough enough to be
lifted with thenfnger. 1t is then cut
by long-bladed knife into squares
Of an inch, so as to liberate the whey.
When the whey has partly separated
it is dipped OFF by means of shallow
dish without breaking the curd. The
whey is then heated to 100 degrees and
is poured on to the curd, which is COW
cred to keep In the heat. After half
an hour the card will become tough
enough to lift without breaking, wheii
the whey is all drawn off and the curd
is broken up with the hands and
heaped to permit more of the whey to
drain of. This viii take up half an
hour The curd is again broken and
the whey carefully pressed out by
hand, SO the cream may not escape.
1t is then left another half hour,
when it is again broken and salted at
the rate Of two ounces of Underground
salt to seven pounds of curd, and is
placed in a wooden hoop or mold, lined
with clean cloth dipped in the whey.
The curd is pressed into the mold firm
ly, and needs no weight or pressing.
When it has settled in the mold, it is
taken out in the cloth and set on
board and turned once a day until it
has formed n crust. 1t should then be
rubbed with butter and turned oc-
casionally during the curing, which
will require two or three months in
temperature of about 60 degrees.-N.

LAFAYETTE LEADS A MOB.


Starving Porisians Force Louis to 8et11a
to Paris.
In the preceding autumn famine was
actually stalking abroad. In Paris
the populace grew gaunt and dismal,
but at Versailles there was food in
plenty, and the contrast was height
ened by q lavish display. The royal
family was betrayed by one of its own
house, the despicable Philip "Egalite, y
who sought to stir up the basest drega
of society. that in the ferment he
might rise to the top; hungry Paris,
stung to action by rumors which he
spread and by bribes he lavished, put
Lafayette at its head, and on October
marched out to the gates of the royal
residence In order to make conspicu-
GUS the contrast between its own suf.
ferings and the wasteful com.
fcrt of its servants. Louis and
the national assembly yielded ia
the menace, the court returned tc
Paris, politics grew hotter and more
bitter, the fickleness of the mob be-
came . stronger power. Soon the
Jacobin club began to WELD the
mightiest single influence. and Is il
did SO it grew more radical.
Throughout the long and trying win
ter the masses remained, nevertheless,
quietly expectant. There was much
tumultuous talk, but action was sus.
pended while the assembly sat and
labored to solve its problem, making Z
fine paper constitution. Unfortunate.
ly, the provisions of the document had
no relation to the political habits oi
the French nation, or to the experience
of England and the United States, the
only free governments then in ex.
istence. Feudal privilege, feudal
provinces, feudal names, having been
obliterated, the whole of France wsa
rearranged into administrative depart
ments, with geographical in place oi
historical boundaries.
Il was felt the ecclesiastical do
mains, the holders Of which were con.
sidered - mere truRtees, should b
adapted to the Same plan. Both
ecclesiastical and aristocratic bodies
were thus overwhelmed by the stroke
Of . pen. The king was denied all

pensive veto, and in the reform Of the
judicial system the power Of the Law
