In Love with Celebrities,

Frivolous as the French are supposed
to be, they take love, or what passes
for it, very seriously on occasion. A
French specialist in lunacy has been
giving some information about the in
sane men and women who follow celeb
rites about and fall in love with them.
The doctor has to send two or three
women of this sort to asylums every
month. and nothing is known OF the
cases by the public. Good looking
priests, members of Parliament who
make good speeches in the chamber
authors and handsome actors. are nota-
ly marks for the attention of such wom-
en-. The actors, like the priests. have
often been threatened by their jealous
admirers, who are not content to wor-
ship at a distance, like the American
matinee girl Actresses, too, have their
dangerous admirers. Nine Sarah Bern.
hardt has sometimes to be watched
over very carefully. Her worshipers
secrete themselves IN all sorts of places
in order to see her enter or leave her
theater or her residence. The special
detectives have had to interfere on two
noted occasions, Ia order to save the
famous actress from the bullets or the
daggers of maniacs who resolved to
injure or kill her because she refused to
respond to their declarations Of love.

Mr.. p. Anderson Graham, in Long
mans Magazine, mentions the regretta-
BILE fact that all but the commonest
wild flowers are disappearing from Ep-
ping forest. Not only do the urchins
pluck them, but the vendors who go
about the suburbs offering roots and
flowers for sale carry them off whole
sale. The primrose has in this way been
practically cleared out of the forest, so
has the once common Solomon 3 seal,
aud the foxglove and others are very
nearly extinct. Ii the anemones, blue
bells and violets still survive, it is only
owing to the fact that they grow i'll
such astonishing numbers that the arm.
fuls carried away make no difference.
The most obviously thriving and
multiplying quadrupeds i'll the forest,
Mr.. Graham mentions, are the rabbit
nnd tho squirrel Hares occasionally
make their form in the heather or fern.
The small carniyora are as plentiful as
might be expected where vermin are
protected as much as game. Stoats and
weasels are the most common. So far
the rarer marten and polecat have not
been tempted back to their old haunts.
Foxes are occasionally to be seen. Mr..
Buxton introduced few pairs Of
badgers 10 Or IL years ago, and they
have bred and prospered. Rats, mice,
moles and 'such small deer" have q
happy time of it in the woods.

A curious popularity of the Irish ma

When faction fighting was rife in
Ireland, it was Il mans interest to sin

bic device. Happily faction fighting is

Hints About Milking.


Always cOnfine cows In the stable to
be MIXED.
Always milk In the same order and
at the same time of day.
Milk as rapidly as possible without
irritating or worrying the cow.
Before commencing to milk. brush
all loose dirt from the sides and udder
of the COW.
When it comes cows turn to be
MIXED, she knows it. and expects it,
and wants TO be MIXED.
Always milk the COW dry before leav-
Ing her, but do not continue stripping
after the milk is all drawn.
If part of the milk is left at each
milking In the udder. nature will soon
stop providing it, because 1t is not
taken.
Always milk COW in the same man
ner, at about the same time and speed.
Any change will irritate and tend to
excite her.
A COW will not give down" her milk
to mixer she hates or Is afraid of,
and what she does give will be defi-
cient in butter fat.
There should always be friendly
feeling between the COW and the milk.
er. and mixers should not be changed
IL 1t can be avoided.
After a little manipulation of the
teats and udder, the milk is ready to
come down. Then is the time to
take 1t. and do not delay.
Ii you disappoint her and milk half
an hour later, the chances are that you
will get less and poorer milk than il
you MIXED at the proper time.
The last milk drawn from COW Is
much richer than the first. The last
quart usually contains more than three
times as much butter fat as the first.
No definite rule can be given as to
how the teats should be handled In
milking, as cows differ and hands diff
fer so much; but be sure of one thing
please the COW If possible.
Have the stable clean. and have the
COW clean. or you can't get clean milk.
Lime and whtewash for walls and
posts is good thing Land plaster is
n good absorbent in the stable.
Milking should be done with clean,
dry hands.-Wisconsin Farmers Instk

Great Is Truth.

The late Mr.. Froude once stated that
he never found any Boer who was not
truthful. A friend of his was visiting
the Transvaal, and, to an ex-diplomat,
who knows the people thoroughly, he
expressed absolute reliance on the word
of the historian.
We'll" said the diplomat. Il will
give YOU proof to the contrary at this
very moment And, calling to an old
farmer who had evidently from his
appearance, come into Pretoria from a
long distance, he said, in Taal:
Are you not the man to whom |
promised a present last Chrlstmas?"
Yes" answered the old fellow
"where do you llve?''
There is your truthful Boer; never
saw the man before

too little sunlight. The healthiest peo-
pie are not merely those who are most

wafer In summer, and their faces are

Hay for Dairy Cow.

Ii there is any favoritism shown on
stock. II should be to the dairy cows.
says the Prairie Farmer. There Is al
ways more or less poor hay, and oft
times this is stacked among the better
quality. Those who have noticed the
fastidious tastes of dairy cows are
careful to keep the prime hay separ-
ated from the poor and coarse grades,
and carefully weed out all that may be
musty. The early cut hay is far better
for milk production. The later cut hay
may be fed to horses or TO other stock
about the farm. 1t Is also good plan
to keep the early cut hay to feed the
