IT looks as if matters are likely to
become complicated in the Philip
pines. The dispatches inform us
that Aguinaldo the insurgent leader
at Manila has proclaimed himself
president Of the provisional republic,
issuing his proclamation to that
effect on July LIST. Gen. Wesley Mer-
rett who has probabl Y reached Manila
ere this bears with him proclamation
declaring himself Governor-Gcn of
the Philippines, and thus the whole
question may perhaps resolve into
such shape that it will be exceedingly
difficult to handle. We have not
doubted that the Philippine Islands
may prove to be an elephant on our
hands before the situation is finally
disposed Of in a way alike satisfac-
tory and profitable.

TIE gallant commodore who
CHANGED to be in command of the
American fleet at the time Ccrvera's
warships attempted to escape from
Santiago harbor was too Sly for the

covered their little game he gave
battle and proceeded to Slny Span
iards and destroy their ships with
out thought of whether his name
would be Dennis or Schlcy after the

That was grievous mistake Adj
miral Sampson made when he tcle-
graphed to Washington the news of
the destruction of Ceryera' fleet
without so much as mentioning
Commodore Schley's name. The
fleet under my command was the
way the dispatch began, and Samp-
son IS in command Of the Amer
lean fleet in Cuban waters including
Schley's dying squadron, but he was
miles away when the fight occurred
and Schlev was in sole command.
But maybe in the hurry and enthu-
siasm in which Admiral Sampson
wrote he did not intend to mislead
the public or deprive a comrade of
honors that rightfully belonged to
him, and in a subsequent and fuller
report let us hope he will be more
explicit and put the whole matter
where it belongs.

~ sucking, as if with her own mother.
Other lambs then followed suit, until
there were six in all. Six, however,
proved to be too many for the affec-
tionate foster-parent, and the number
was reduced to four. These are thriv-
ing wonderfully well, apparently as
well as with their natural mother, and
all the drawbacks which are inevita-
BILE in rearing lambs with the bottle
are absent. The cow fulfills the duty
of mother in every way, and re-
fuses to be separated from her charges.
In fact, when taken away to Craze in
an adjoining field she bellows and
frets until allowed to come back to
her little family. Pretty it is to see
her lick the lambs, when, having had
their fill of milk, they come around to
her head. The incident is the more
remarkable as the COW has not had a
calf for 18 months. The photograph,
which shows the lambs eagerly TAX
ing their fill of milk, while the cow is
patiently waiting their pleasure, was
taken some minutes after the reunion
of the family, after few hours COM
pulsory separation, which is necessary
for the welfare of the mother.-St.

KEEPING BUTTER COOL,
a Plan That Works Well ON Dairy
Farms Not Provided with
an Ice House.

Here is good plan for keeping but
ter cool in summer, says the Indiana
Farmer: In the middle of your cellar
floor dig a hole or vault 31a feet deep
and 3A feet square. Wall. it up with
brick laid in lime mortar and cement
and floor it with soft brick. Lay a
frame of good hard wood in mortar
upon the top of this vault. Hinge to
the frame trapdoor of plank two
inches thick, making it fit smoothly
over the top. Then after the cream is
separated and cooled put it down in
the vault to ripen. Butter may be kept
there in the agreeable GOODNESS also.
1t you have no separator, put the
cream into your vault so soon as you
have skinned it. there to cool and
ripen. Once or twice week clear out
the vault and wash it thoroughly to
prevent its getting moldy. Pour cold
water upon the soft brick of the floor.
They will absorb it and cool the air.
This is very successful way to keep
milk, butter aud cream cool in hot
weather on farms where there is no
ice.

at Frances, but those were lust 4 ftar
she "broke" with Randy Merriam and
married McLane, but Fan had wheedled
her out of this unfavorable mood and
convinced her that she had never really
cared for Mr. Merriam, who, somehow,
failed to inspire her with that feeling
OF respect, even reverence, which she
felt was due the man she married:
whereas Mr.. McLane was a gentleman
OF such dignity and force of character
that she seemed powerless in his pres
ence, and his love was the sweetest fat
terry, the most surprising, thrilling iov
she had ever known. Not until he came
did she dream what love really meant,
and then it was duty, it was justice, it
was honor that compelled her to release
Mr.. Merriam. Had she married him she
would have gone to the altar with a lie
on her lips, for she loved another.
Grafton said nothing, but seemed to be
thinking good deal, and it was plain
that he did not thoroughly approve of
the tickle Frances. When, however, Mer-
Ram surprised everybody at the Point
by his marriage to Floy Tremaine,
Grafton concluded it was time to dron
the matter.
All the same he could not suppress his
surprise when Harriet announced that
Fanny had actually almost consented
to come to them. Il thought you knew
[ disapproved of that scheme entirely"
said he.
"You did, dear, when first spoke OF
it, and so did I. didn't think it would
do at all, but Fan talked so frankly
about Mr.. Merriam and the lovely time
they'd had together on the Pacific coast
with him and his charming bride
and how he and she had laughed over
their affair at the Point and agreed that
it would have been absurd, and now
they were such good friends, and she'd
had such sweet, sympathetic message
from Mrs. Merriam after her sad, sad
bereavement-why, what more was to
be said"
Grafton listened rather grimly. He
was many years older than his wife, as
has been said, and much less credulous.
Again the same uneasy presentiment
oppressed him. IT don't think she
should come here, Harrie," he gravely
said. Anywhere else, perhaps, could
have shared with you the feeling of well
come-certainly the desire to pay the
debt of hospitality, but at Sedgwick,
with the Merriams here, it cannot be-"
And here poor Mrs. Grafton broke
down and wept- "Oh," she cried, cts
got to be! I thought you'd forgiven
her and that all was well; and I urged
and she's coming ne-ne-next-
w-week."
We need not record the further re-
marks of Capt. Grafton on this point,
since they were after all imperative, but
the first dark shadow over their domes-
tic peace fell that very day and hour.

HOPE.

Hope secs the brightness Of the day
Sink meath the sable pail Of night:
Yet Hope dares look aloft and say:
Still shine the stars. SO clear, so BRIGHT
Hope sees dark clouds relentless lower
To dungeons deep the very stars,
And yet Hope cries: IA moment more
And each bright orb shall burst its bars!'
Hope sees the frightened forests bow
Before the storms stupendous fray,
Yet Hope but smiles and says: "E'en now
The halcyon calm hastes on its way"
Hope sees the winters with ring blast
Stay every green and living thing;
Yet Hopes bright gaze looks on and past
And revels in the coming spring.
Yea, Hope can find somewhere a flower
In every pathway she has trod,
And floods with song the saddest hour,
Because Hope has her home in God!

HINTS FOR DAIRYMEN.

The calf ought to be fed three times
day.
Unless the dam was good one, don't
try to raise heifer calf.
The separator saves labor in setting
milk, saves room and waste.
Rapid change from new to skim milk
may injure the delicate stomach of the
calf.
Barley is highly recommended as
food for cattle, ranking nearly as high
as wheat.
Unless the person and his clothes are
clean it will faint the milk if he milks
the COWS.
1t would seem timely to suggest
again that the playful dog ought to
be kept away from the COWS.
If a heifer is fed upon fat-forming
food constantly you will spoil her as a
mixer. She will learn to take on fat.
Separators should be bought only of
the most reliable manufacturers, for
unless made of the very best material
serious accidents may occur.-Western
Plowman.

Anew departure in the way of rear
ing motherless lambs is being success
fully carried out this season on a
farm at West Hadden, in Northampton
shire, in the occupation of Mr.. +. In
cley. An exceptionally patient COW
happened to be in the yard when the
lambs were first brought in, and one
of the lambs was allowed to approach
her. Under these circumstances a
cow will generally kick out viciously,
but in this case, no objection being
raised, the lamb was soon contented-

CHAPTER VII.

The manner in which Mrs. Frances
McLane secured her invitation to visit
the Graftons reflects credit on her gen.
eralship if not on her general char
acter. She was deep in widows weeds
and woe the lovely summer of '94 so
long as she remained in the neighbour
hood of the mausoleum of the dear
departed, and Mrs. Grafton twice or
thrice ran down from the Point to
pour out sympathy and consolation, but
dear Fanny had sustained too severe
shock. This dreadful, this mysterious,
this murderous assault upon Mr.. Nc
Lane had unnerved her completely, said
Mrs. Grafton, on her return to her liege,
and she does not seem to rally at all.
Later, as we have seen, Charlotte took
her sister west, and later still the
Graftons, en- route to sedgwick at last,
stopped five days in Chicago on their
way, and Fanny was at the station to
meet them on their arrival, and insist
ed then, as she had before by letter,
upon their being her guests at her own
apartments at the Clarendon. She had
lovely little room all ready for them.
Now Grafton was provident man, an
economical man, and five days. hotel
bills made certainly big hole in a
months pay. Something even then
whispered to him that this extrava-
gance were better than that to which
acceptance of the widows invitation
would lead. But he banished the
thought as unworthy and uncharitable.
Fanny welcomed them with infinite
tact and taste-made them feel that
their coming was blessing to her, so
sad and lonely was her life now that it
was no longer blessed by the compan-
icnship and devotion of the incompar-
able husband whom she had lost. She
could not accompany them to the opera

RooUEFoRT CHEESE.
A French Delicacy Made 1ro1s4 49, 49,
ture of Milk from the Goat :
and the Sheep. =

Many efforts have been made in this
country to make an imitation or sue
cessful substitute for this favorite
french cheese, but they have met with
a small degree of success. s,..~, -~. -.
None of these American products
was of sort which could not be easily
distinguished from the genuine, and,
according to cheese experts, the Amerl-
can manufacturers have nearly aban-
doned hope of being able ever to make
a cheese which will take the place OF
the genuine Roquefort.
Roquefort cheese is made of mix
ture of goat and sheep milk. The rep
utation of this cheese extends back
into dim antiquity, and Pliny men-
toned it in his writings.
It is made chiefly from the milk OF
Larzad goats and sheep, and in the rec
ords in France it is stated that In the
year 1866 100000 sheep and goats out
of flock of 100000 gave enough milk
for the making of 7,150,o0o pounds OF
cheese.
In the manufacture of Roquefort
cheese the sheep and goats are MIXED
in the evening after their return from
the pastures and after they have been
allowed to rest for an hour or so.
The evenings milk is heated almost
to the boiling point and then set aside.
In the morning it is SKINNED, heated
to 90 degrees and mixed with the morn
ing's milk for coagulation. The curd
is we'll kneaded with the hands and
pressed in layers into molds with per-
| forated bottoms. A thin layer of
moldy bread is put between each layer
of curd.
The object of this is to hasten the
'tripening" of the cheese by supplying
the germs of the green mold peculiar
| to cheese. The bread used for this
purpose is made before the preceding
Christmas of about equal parts CT sum-
mer and winter barley, with consider
| able sour dough and some vinegar.
When moldy enough it is ground and
| sifted, moistened with water and kept
/ from the air until wanted in the max
| ing of the cheese.
The curd remains in the molds for
three or four days, after which the
cheeses are wrapped in linen cloth and
put to dry. They are allowed TO re-
main in the drying rooms three or
four days. Then they are taken to
the market in Roquefort, where they
are sold to the different makers of
Roquefort cheese.
| These manufacturers continue the
ripening of the cheeses by placing
them in the very damp caves which
abound in the precipitous walls of the
limestone hills surrounding the village.
The caves. which are so situated that
the currents of air flow from south to
north, are considered to yield the best
cheese. The currents of air which
come from these caves are cold even
in the warmest weather.
The cheeses are left in the caves
sometimes more than a month, during
which time salt and brine is rubbed
into them, and they are picked fire.

Signs Of a Good Cow.

Oneo or two signs will denote good
cow, Prof. Heacker says. as well as
twenty; in poor COW the thigh runs
down straight, 50 there is no space
between the thigh and the .udder: on
one side and the tail on the other.
There should be plenty Of daylight be-
tween the udder and the tail. One of
the. best ways to tell: what kind of a
COW you have is her temperament. A
good dairy type has q sharp spine,
strongly developed nervous system,
and sharp hip bones. A good COW has

or to concerts and theaters, but she
had the best seats secured, and Ned
and Charlotte we're properly attentive;
and when it was time for the Graftons
to move on the ladies actually parted
with tears, Fanny looking so white, so
pathetic, so fragile, and protesting that
Mrs. Grafton was the one friend to
whom her heart chung in it's bereave-
ment and desolation. A hacking lit
tie cough had already set in (this was
late in the fall), and the rigors of the
Lake Michigan climate seemed telling
severely upon the Gotham-born girl,
and urgently did Mrs. Grafton press
her to leave this clustering shore and
TO come to her in that land where
coughs and bronchial and catarrhal
troubles are unknown, to bask in the
sunshine and drink in the delicious dir
Of southern New Mexico; and Fan de-
clared that could she but be with Har-
riet her cough would never worry her,
butt could not bet could not be!
There were important legal matters to
be settled. She must fight her battle
alone. She could not yet go so far from
that sacred dust.
All the same the Graftons were not
fairly settled at Sedgwick when Fans
legal difficulties seemed to have been
settled q nd her cough grievously aug
mented. \The doctors talked of Bermu.
