fifty blind men and women, represent
ing the American Blind Peoples
Higher Education and General I'm
provement Association, with a member
ship extending throughout the country,
are holding convention in ST. Louis,

establishment of a national school for
the blind, or the creation of DEPART

NON-rRE,rING CLUB.
A Chicago Ins tuition to Suppress Contin-
uous Drinking.

People who claim something good
! can come out OF Chicago are pointing
! to the N. T. c., a recent production of
; of the windy city, to prove their the.
ory. The N. 7. G. is the Non T'eat-
ing Club. 1t was organic d-not long
ago by lot of railroad men with the
object in view of stopping the per-
nicious habit of taking as many drinks
as there are men 10 crowd, because
the crowd happens to have money
enough to pay for it. Each member
wears button and carries card
wherein he is pleceed to take d. ink
in saloon when he wants it and not
to treat any one who is member.
This is thu sort of club that will
meet with the approval of many tenn
perance people who. misguidedly, will
think that il will have tendency to
prevent drunkenness. In the first
place it will not, for no member will
keep the non-treatiug pledge consis-
tently- Further, if the members do.
by chance, keep the pledge, it will
promote individual drinking, which
produces at variety of a j W" known
as as lonesome" the most per-
nicious and dangerous in character of
all ''j4gs. Men who go on .'lonesomes"
are the ones who go hon.. and beat
their wives. who scare little children.
who go moody and melancholy. and
who see blue dogs, green cats and red
white and yellow lizlrds in certain
stages of their career. The "lone,
some" il the result of individual drink
ing. A man who will go away from
home by himself to dri k of the cup
that inebriates in solitude is man to
beware of. He is likely to ham
string you" horses, to poison your dog
or to take shot at ywnr hired girl
almost any time.

UNFORTUNATE COLORS.
Jaundiced Man with Red Neclktie Ia
Taken for a Spaniard and Has
q Narrow Escape.

The man with the yellow jaundice leaned
up against the drug Store at the corner Of
Harrison and Halsted street and wiped the
perspiration from his forehead. He was
badly out of breath and he consequently
talked rather spas1nodcally to his friend.
II tell you, I've had mighty narrow es-
cape" he gasped.
''Why, howss that?" asked his companion.
''They purity near mobbed me just now
down here on Blue Island avenoo."
"Mobbed you? Why, what in the deuce
are you talkin' about?'
"That's right. That's what they purity
near did. They just liked to got my pelt,
tell you-an' hadn't done a thing, either"
sWhat did they have agin you?''

HOW TO DRESS CALVES.
Chicago Markets Unless These
Hints Are Heeded

Calves from three to six weeks old,
and weighing about 100 pounds or say
from so to 100 pounds, are the most de-
sirable weight for shipment. The head
should be cut out, so as to leave the
hide of the head on the skin. The legs
should be cut off at the knee joint. The
entrails should all be removed, except
ing the kidneys and liver, which should
not be taken out. Cut the carcass open
from the neck through the entire length
from head to bumgut. If this is done
they are not so apt to sour and spoil
during hot weather. Many fine car
cass has spoiled in hot weather because
of its not being cut open. Don't wash
the carcass out with water, but wipe it
out with a dry cloth. Don't ship until
the animal heat is entirely out of the
body, and never tie the carcass up in
bag, as this keeps the air from circulate
ing and makes the meat more liable to
become tainted. Mark for shipment by
fastening shipping tag to the hind
leg. Calves under so pounds should not
be shipped go pounds is the minimum
weight in the Chicago market), and are
liable to be condemned by the health
officers as unfit for food. Merchants,
too, are liable to be fined, if found selling
these slunks, for violation of the law.
Very heavy calves, such as have been
fed on buttermill, never sell we'll in our
market-they are neither veal nor beef.

AN AVERAGE VERDICT.
1t Was Struck Through a Difference
of Opinion Among the Jury
on Damages.

While the lawyers were waiting for court
to open, and before they flew at each others
Threats, they exchanged few stories of the
profession.
'"The strangest trial in which was ever
engaged was one of my first" said grizzled-
headed attorney. II was counsel for the
plaintiff in suit brought to recover damages
caused by runaway horse. My client had
been knocked down and slightly bruised, not
very much, just enough to base lawsuit
on. l had very strong case: in fact, there
was practically no defense, and the defend
ant was rich man, so asked for 81 900, hop
ing to get half. Well, when the jury came
in they rendered a verdict for the plaintiff
with damages assessed at S, 697. OF course
the judge promptly set the verdict aside as
excessive, and l had to begin all over again.
"Some days later met the foreman of the
jury and asked him how in the world they
arrived at such verdict.
Well, I don't quite understand it my
self he said, scratching his head. we
all agreed for the plaintiff on the first vote,
but each fellow had his own ideas as to the
damage. l was in favor of 81 900, another
fellow thought it ought to be s., 900, and an
other stuck out for 500, and we were get
ting all tangled up, when one of the jury sug-
gested that we strike an average
But you couldn't have done that,'''

right and l added them together. know

about that verdict, but hanged if T can see

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

Keep the cow clean by currying her
every day.
Never let cows drink from pond that
has no outlet.
You cannot make good butter if the
cows eat garlic.
Never add anything to milk to pre-
vent it from souring.
Never mix fresh milk with that which
has been canned.
Never move a COW faster than a slow
walk if she has full udder.
b Don't let mixer who uses tobacco
milk if you want good butter.
Any person who milks a COW should
have the finger nails cut close.
The first streams from the teat are
very watery, and had better be MIXED
onto the ground.
In answer to an inquiry, we would
say that we would never use saltpetre
in making cheese. But it is, sometim els
used
We assert this: That butter is not in
juriously affected by ensilage and that
dehorning does not affect the milk pro-
ductlon.
When cans of milk are to be hauled a.
considerable distance, they should be
full, and carried in spring wagons, to
prevent hurning.-Western Plowman.

DOWN ON THE FADS
Mr.. Stately Believed In Bringing
Young People Down to a
Business Basis.

MRS: Stately" began her husband, the
they term faddist. ! It has been my rule
to humor all your eccentricities, but from
this time on, unless / find good and suffi-
Gent reason to change my mind, the educa-
ton Of our children is to be of the most prac-
tical nature possible"
Just as you say
Il understand that Loretta studied bot
any for three years, yet last season she
went out to gather some green's and
brought in the worst collection of weeds
ever saw outside of a bankrupt farm. They
would have poisoned mule. Yesterday
this botanist sat in the parlor, bolstered
with cushions, reading trash three inches
thick and in fine print at that, while you
were in the back yard setting out sweet
peas. Isabel went through the cooking de-
partment from potato pairing to fine pas
tries, and yet you can't keep her in the
kitchen long enough to prepare a soft
boiled egg. Tom went in for higher mathe-
MATES, and yet he can't figure the simple
interest on promissory note for more or
less than single year. He can blow
around about the consultations and about
the direct communication with Mars, but
I'll bet farm he couldn't keep his own
personal accounts on a single entry system.
He's never going to locate in Mars, and
there's not a dollar in the consultations
for him. Well just bring these young peo-
pie down to business basis, and when they
know enough to help themselves as they'll
have to when you and I wear out, they
can do their fad chasing. And that's the
word with the bark on, mother" -Detroit

Dairy and General FARMING.

1t now looks as if there would be a
change in many of the older sections
of the country from strictly dairying to
more general line of farming, partic-
ularly in regard to raising stock. The
price of milk per hundred going down
to so cents has had a depressing ef-
feet on many of the dairymen who
have confined their farming operations
strictly to that one line. and unless an
improvement in the price of butter
prevails during the flush of the season
this year it will not be possible for
creamerymen to exceed so cents, and
many OF :hem not that much. In this
way the supply of butter in the mar
ket may be reduced to such an extent
that we may look for better range
Of prices.-Elgin Dairy Report.

BUILDING A CELLAR.
Barn Situated on a Northern
or Sunless Slope.

Many farms are so located that
barn cellar with southern exposure
is out of the question, since the land
where the barn is, or is to be, located
slopes to the north. It is out of the
question if one must follow the usual
plan for obtaining barn cellars, where
plenty of winter sunshine is needed, but
practicable if the plan shown in the
illustration is carried out. This is a.
sectional diagram of barn built upon a
northern slope, into the cellar of which
the sun shines very freely, although the
barn sets on level with the ground in
front of it. If it were raised the height
of the usual underpinning the sun
would have still better chance to
enter the cellar. The latter extends out
beyond the barn on the south side, to
give room for a succession of sloping
