made a hearty meal of biscuit. 1t was
a night out of ten thousand for my pur-
pose. The fog had now buried all
heaven. As the last rays of daylight
dwindled and disappeared, absolute
blackness settled down on Treasure
island And when. at last, shouldered
the coracle, and groped my way STUN
blingly out of the hollow where 1 had
supped. there were but two points visi-
Bile on the whole anchorage.
One was the great fire on shore, by
which the defeated pirates lay carous-
ing in the swamp. The other, a mere
blur of light upon the darkness, in
dicated the position of the anchored
ship. She had swung round to the ebb
her bow was now toward me-the
only lights on board were in the cabin;
and what I saw was merely reflection
on the fog of the strong rays that flowed
from the stern window.
The ebb had already run some time,
and Fhad to wade through the long belt
of swampy sand, where I sunk several
times above the ankle, before l came to
the edge of the retreating water. and,
wading a little way in, with some
strength and dexterity set my coracle,
keel downward, on the surface.

When preparing sandwiches for q

sary to make them several hours in ad-
vance of the serving. If napkin Is
wrung out of hot water and wrapped
around the sandwiches, which should
be placed in cool room, they will keep
as fresh and moist as though just
spread.
Hot meats and soups will inevitably
spoil if set away covered closely. There
must always be an escape for the hot
air. Broths must be thoroughly cooled
before going into the ice chest, and then
only lightly covered.

washing glasses in Turkey is to put

Little words are the sweetest to hear;
little charities fly the farthest and stay
longest on the wing; little flakes are

would make. anything especially rare
and beautiful she makes it little-littls

beef tallow, hogs lard and cotton seed oil, palmed off as the genuine product. I speak of it now the more particular ly because there is a combined effort, reaching from Pennsylvania to Colo rado, being made to break down the state and federal laws protecting one of the greatest industries of the Unit ed States against fraud, and I sincerely hope that this effort, backed as it is by millions of capital, will not have the countenance of this convention or of the stockmen of these great noun tain and plain states.
 I could have told you of what dairy ing has done for Iowa, of the 99,5OO,- 900 gross pounds of butter that we shipped out of the state in 1897, of the pleasant homes, full of schools and prosperity of the dairy districts, and let you infer that you could do busi- ness on this large scale as well as we by initiating our methods. l do not, however, wish to deceive you by tell ing you a half truth. These great mountain and plain states are dairy states only in spots. In these spots dairying should be very profitable and will be. The special purpose COW fed on special purpose food and cared for by the special purpose farmer will make special purpose butter fit for the tables of princes or the palaces of kings.
 The dairy business, however, can not be conducted by "walk-offs." You ask me what a "walk-off' is? north
