~ Circumstances have impressed on
my mind the value OF honest praise
or appreciation, if expressed, and I
cannot refrain from giving expression
to my thoughts on the subject as
called to mind by strong circum-
stances.
We all know by experience how help
full it is it to be told of the good points
Of our works, and of our helpful eff
forts on behalf of others; and I often
think that if we could get this fact
once firmly fixed in our minds and ap-
ply it in all our dealings with those
about us that the world would be q
much happier and SUMMER place than
it is.
How discouraging and disheartening
it Is to have some one say: Eyes, that
is pretty good; but it would have been
better so and SO. would have done
this differently and that in another
way, and then the results would have
been far better, ETC., !etc Yet, Of
course, it will do" We are sure to
feel dreadfully about it, and if it is
something over which we have worked
particularly hard, and been especially
anxious for it's success, and to have
our efforts in the matter appreciated,
we are apt to become very much dis
couraged and to say: cts no use try
ing. I can't accomplish anything any
way, and might as well give it up"
and many a one does give up, and
fails to accomplish that which the
Lord meant them to do, and which
they are capable of doing, just because
some one, who should have been a
help, was, instead a hindrance
1 am afraid that in the final judg-
ment We will find the responsibilities
for many failures in this life laid
where we least expect it just because
we found fault and censured where, if
we had tried, we might have found
much to praise.
Ii this be true, how very careful we
should be to refrain from fault-finding
And we should also be just as careful
to express praise or appreciation for
all honest effort. If we are in earnest
in our efforts to help others to a bet
ter life, we can almost invariably find
something to commend, and thus in

He who knows and remembers all our
acts and intents, can ever estimate the
good we may be able to do by the
kindly appreciative word spoken in
season." EVIL is wrought by want
of thought as well as by word or by
deed" So that Il do not think is no
excuse. The Creator endowed us with
mental powers and expected US to use
them. If we do not, it is no excuse,
and will not be considered as such
when we face the actions done in the
hody.-Clara Sensibaugh Everts in the

A carpet formed of layers of paper,
ply of felt, and an intermediate fill

fold side, producing spring edge, is
a late invention.
Ribbons used to ornament various
pieces Of fancy work often need wash

embroidered cloths and protect them
from the iron with clean brown paper
or cloth. Iron them before they are
dry. Scarlet washes best among the
colors for ribbons. and the satin-tin;sh-

Sulphur in Poultry Houses,

IN recent issue of Poultry Keeper,
DIR. d. H. Dalton Of Pennsylvania sug-
sested point on the use of sulphur
fumes for the destruction Of lice in
the poultry house, and as a disinfec-
tant, Which is not generally known or
is not acted upon. He recites the fact
that when sulphur is burned in q dry
atmosphere the vapor combines with
the oxygen of the air and forms sui
phurous oxide, a substance which will
destroy, by contact, bacteria and all
animal life that breathes, but has no
ERECT upon microbes or animal life that
does not depend for life upon the
breathing of air. Thus it is seen that
dry sulphur vapor will kill lice and
bacteria, but will not destroy the eggs
OF lice or the microbes of germs OF
disease; but, he says, supply moisture
to the sulphur vapOr and sulphurous
acid is formed, which is destructive to
all forms of animal and vegetable life
with which it comes in contact. For
the, practical application of sulphur
fumes the doctor suggests to steam the
poultry house, thereby supplying mois-
ture, and then burn the sulphur, and
he assures US that all lice, their eggs
and all disease germs will be Destroy
ed.
This is a valuable suggestion and
poultry raisers should give it a trial.
If the remedy is as effective as is
claimed it will be very simple, easy
and cheap way of getting rid Of poul-
try house nuiSances.
In view of the danger Of breathing
sulphurous oxide and sulphurous acid,
care must be exercised to see that no
fowls or little children get into the
house and breathe the fumes If any
of our readers use this remedy please
report results. of Agriculture

A Standard of Color,

The establishment of a dfinite color
standard, of an official spectrum of alb
solute colors with the limits arbitrarily
defined and scaled in all their tints
and shades, has been attempted by the
Federal government. A rebuff has been
met, however, at the outset. In re-
spouse to Secretary of the Interior
Hoke Smiths invitation to the Nation
al Academy of Sciences to attack the
problem, President O. G. Marsh has
declared that lit would require long
and expensive investigation to obtain
the data upon which an authoritative
standard of color could alone be based
and the results of such investigat ton
might even then be of very limited
value. Standards of color sufficient
for practical purposes are already in
USE" There really does exist in
france the basis at least for s,lcll
standard, and Secretary Smith should
advise President Marsh to instruct the
National Academy to bring that spec
trum down to date. 1t was originally
constructed by Chevreul, the famous
chemist, for the Sevres porcelain fac
tory.
Every husband who has been sent
by his wife on a shopping embassy to
match ribbon or a sample Of dress
goods will humbly beg of President
Marsh to perform this boon for suffer-
ing and half-blind humanity. Could
the eminent professor himself I'M
hinchingly undertake to distinguish
for Mrs. Marsh between Trilby blue
and Marquise de Castellane purple?

Eack one forms a small globule, and
when that is perfected 1t drops of into
the serum Of the milk. Each bud or
globale 50 formed is a globule OF, fat;
from them Is made oil the butter from
cows milk. These tiny buds Of fat
seem TO grow on the surface Of the
cells, partly by the destruction of the
cells ana partly by the conversion Of
some or the substance Of the cows
blood into fat. They trickle down in
and With the milk, and are held in
SUSPENSION in it, not in solution, as
areBthe other solids in it, They mostly
come during the latter part of the
milking, probably because they do not
move so quickly or easily as the liquid
part OF the cows milk. The fore milk
Is thinner than the strippings, because
the globules Of fat do not free them
selves from the internal Innings Of the
milk ducts so quickly as the liquid Of
the milk. - 49,.
The condition Of the cows blood
and her nervous system very largely
affect the quality OF the milk she gives.
Bad feeling, foul water or the alb
sence Of salt will induce in the cow
condition in which she will not yield
good milk; similar condition with
it's consequent effects may be caused
by neglect, exposure, abuse or excite
ment. A cow has a. peculiarly delicate
organization, and must be handled
with Kindness, and any man who
abuses cow beats out the profit, for
for she will pay him back by giving
less milk and that Of a poorer quality.
The globules of fat are so numerous
that IN a thimbleful of milk there will
be found millions of them. It is esti-
mated that there are one thousand
millions of them in every cubic inch
OF milk. From these specks of fat
the butter is made. TO get them out
OF the milk is the task Of the butter
maker. They are too small to be
strained out with the finest sieve.
Fifteen hundred Of the largest of them
placed side by side like a row Of mar
bles would not measure more than one
inch. IT milk be left at rest they rise
to the top because they are lighter
than the liquid in which they float.
The heavier parts Of the milk are
drawn down by the force of gravita-
ton, and as the serum Of the milk,
composed of water, casein, sugar, albu-
men, etc., moves downward it dis
places the cream globules and forces
them toward the top.-Farm and
