strewn, and which every year have to
be removed and are generally piled
around stumps, or carted and dumped
in some out-of-the-way nook. a pictur-
esque dairyhouse may be made out of
these stones. The house may consist
of one room, or the rear may he used as
an icehouse-a very desirable appendage
to dairy. The building should not be
near any outbuiliings containing stock
and should be shaded if possible. Nc
cesspools should be near dairyhouse
If an icehouse Is not practicable, then
the house may be partitioned and one
part used for cheese room. If wanted
for winter dairying or cheese manufac-
ture, an old-fashioned fireplace, or stove
will be needed. The windows are to be
pr provided with screens in summer. A
long table will be needed. besides
shelves, and the floor should be paved
with stone or brick. Here all the work
connected with the dairy can be done
from creaming to packing for market
If stream of water can be conducted
into the house then the labor will be
very much lessered; and if possible, the
dairyhouse should be situated near q

MISSOURI CURIOSITY.
Two SycamOres, an Oak and an Elm
Growing from One Trunk.

Two SycamOres, an Oak and an Elm
Growing from One Trunk.
Four miles from Pineville, Mcdonald
county, on the grounds of j. Parish,
is freak of nature so curious that if
had not seen it with my own eyes, says
a contributor to an exchange, could
scarcely have believed it possible. On
the bank of the Elk river rises large
tree that towers high above the neigh
boring trees. AT the ground solid
buttressed trunk appears from eight to
ten feet in diameter. A little higher
than n mans head this trunk divides
into four lesser trunks, the two smaller
of which are in themselves fair-sized
trees, while the other two are far above
the average size. Here comes in the
queer part of the story: Of these di-
,ergcnt trunks the two large cnes arc
respectively an elm and sycamore,
while the two smaller ones are an oak
and a sycamore. Above the union of the
common trunk each tree in leaf branch
and bark is normal to its type. The
trunk itself seems homogeneous whole.
i would not presume to say that close
examination would not show in the
bark from different sections of the
trunk those peculiarities that dis
tinguish the bark of one tree from
that of the other. but certainly these
characteristics do not appear on cursory
examination, nor are the lines of join
ture visible where the four trunks
coalesce.
l doubt il anyone can point to a
stranger growth than this-two syca-
mores, an oak and an elm, all grow
ing from one common trunk. This
meeting together of four youthful tree
trunks as they thickened with age is oc.
casionally seen, but this is an unusually
fine illustration. Each tree must, how
ever, form it's own bark-that is to say,
no one of them has been wholly en-
veloped by another. Hence careful in.
vestigation ought to disclose slight
line where the incurving bark of each
original tree meets.-Boonville Demo

From tie yoyndi, Detroit, Mich.

Dor has reason to feel grateful TO her for the
kind and friendly interest she has mani
tested In cases Of illness.
She is q kind-hearted friend, natural

cures, and tho universal benehcence Of the
remedy to those who had used 1t.

She is naturally of nervous temperament

to go out, but he cheerfully acquiesced
In her wish that she should accompany
him, even when she informed him that
her errand was to a hospital.
The young assistant of st. Jude's
was there awaiting them. Some flowers
had been brought from the chancel to
adorn the little table drawn uf to the
side of the sick girl. She had rartaken
Of the feast Of Easter, and was lying
back on her pillow when Marion led
Philip Neff to her bedside, and waited
for mutual recognition.
But the young man seemed to feel
himself an intruder at this sacred
scene, and looked distressed, and Mabel
scarcely glanced at him before turning
her head wearily away.
do you know her?" asked Marion.
"I? No, Miss Armitage, never saw
her in my life before" answered Philip
Neff, firmly, and without hesitation.
"Then why does she claim this ring?"
asked Marion, stepping forward and
lifting the thin hand to view.
THAT is my ring" came the faint am
swer from the sick girls lips.
| WIZ gave IL 10 your uSkeu MuTlous
my husband, Philip Neff."
"Ohl" exclaimed Neff, stepping to rhc
side of the narrow white bed; "then
you are the wife of my Cousin Philip.
He is in South America, and he gave me
that ring before he left"
The sick girl frowned and turned her
head aside. The pain-distorted soul
was almost at peace, and resented the
intrusion of either earthly love or hate.
The compassion in Philip Neff's face
and voice were alike lost on her now.
The solemn tones of the young minister
broke the stiffness. He was singing q
canticle of Easter:
"The strife is DER. the battle done
The victory of life is won,
The song Of triumph has begun,
| Alleluia."
/ Philip Neff knelt by the side of the
dying girl and gently chafed her cold
hands. She smiled. and her lirs FAINT
ly responded: "Allelua." Then one OF
the sisters approached, and Philip drew
Marion away. She was crying softly
and he said:

Sunday of JOY dawns. Allcluia!'-

'ne American, Mr.. Neff. Her firtd i'm.
puise was to snow IL 10 her aunt: her
pex,, 10 keep 1t as bond between them
until she could forward IL to him. Then
.he idea occurred TO her that he might
nave given 1T TO her purposely-but no.
she dill not think he would have ven.
,"red to do such thing-yet love was
daring, and Marion ended the matter NV
forgetting 1t until she reached home.
After that she wore 1t as a souvenir Of
travel, intending TO return 1t when its
owner came home. a II
but strange thing happened before
that time. During the Lenten season
Marion had devoted herself to cbari-
table work. She had gone into the
Sums to rescue the most wrctched and
degraded. She had visited the charity
wards OF the hospitals, and in st. Mary's
she mad found young creature who
was fast leaving world that had been
most cruel to her. She had helped this
poor soul up into the blessed sunlight
OF divine peace, and knowing that she
mad cruelty suffered, had sought to win
from her the story of her life. But her
lips were scaled. She admitted that
sne was wife abandoned by her hus-
panu. Since she had lost love she would
have nothing else, and had stolen away
to die in fit OF Jealous despair.
1t happened one day that Marion wore
the souvenir ring, and as she bent over
the sick girl, who was known only as
Mabel, the eyes of the latter rested
upon 1t. She gave great cry.
My husbands ring!" she exclaimed,
and tainted.
1t was days before size rallied, during
which time the ring reposed on her
own finger; then she proved her right
to 1t by naming the letters engraved
on the inside.
Marion did not at once return to her
charge. Easter Sunday was drawing
near, and she had arranged that the
young minister who assisted at St
Jude's should conduct service in the
hospital ward.
She had looked forward to the da,
with unspeakable longing. The stran
ger who had made such an impression
upon her young heart in that far-of
Sicilian town would present himself
no longer stranger. but almost ,
friend, for she had received letters ant
credentials, and soon he would speal

"Philip Nefr is my husband"

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS,

In sterilizing their milk the French
dairymen heat it to 176 degrees Fahren-
hcit.
The eastern butter markets show
some advance, and it is hoped that o
like condition will soon exist all over
the country.
Get few thermometers for use in
butter-making and elsewhere. Re-
member that a great deal depends on
having the right temperature.
The Iowa creameries last year made
butter to the value of more than $13,.
100000, according to the estimate Of
the state dairy commissioner.
The French dairy interests are being
troubled by an adulterant called vege-
taline, an oil manufactured from nuts.
This vegetable oil is mixed with butter
by the merchants.
BY the ruling of the government au-
thorities having the matter in charge.
the name of butterine is abolished, and
all such products are henceforth to be
known as oleomargarine.
After q person has learned to make
good butter, the next thing is to get a
good market for it. Generally the print
will help to do this and to hold the
market after it is obtained.
We advise all of our butter makers
to make their business a science. just
now the market is stocked with poor
goods, for which there is little demand.
For the better grades there is always a
sale.
Keep your temper when with the
cows. BE gentleman, even in the barn.
True gentility extends even to the brute
creation. Make up your mind before
the COW kicks that you will hold your
temper.--Farmers' Review.
The news boy., 1896-04-04

Withdrawn from any contact with her
until Mabel had sent for her to come
and make full explanation.
What was there to explain? The ring
had dropped from the hand of Neff
when he laid the flowers in the lap of
Marion, as he explained in answer to
her letter of inquiry. He had asked
her to keep 1t until he came, as it might
be lost in returning it to him, and that
was all. Other letters had passed, but
there had been no phrase of sentiment,
nothing but the well-turned sentences
of a graceful writer, such rs he might
have written to the chaperoning aunt.
If Marion had colored them with the
hues of imagination, who then was to
blame? Not he, surely?
Little by little Mabel told her story,
and it revealed sad state Of affairs
between herself and the man who had
married her. She had worn out his
love with her jealousy, and ran away
from him in fit of pique to hide with
an old nurse. She was creature OF
impulse, and he had not known how to
manage her. And he had gene away
without a jword-where, she did not
know, nor did she ask if he had made
any provision for her. Passionate and
rcvengeful, she declared she would die
in the hospital ward, and be buried In
the potter's field. rather than ask heip
of him.
Marion lay awake all the night pre-
ceding Easter Sunday trying to COM
fort her own disappointed heari, and to
evolve a plan to bring those two to-
gether again. In the morning she went
to church with distracted mind, but
as soon as the joyous and beautiful
Easter anthems were sung all her
doubts were gone.
