JOHNS FIRST BICYCLE.
An Absolutely True story OF . Nes
Jersey Dairy Farm.

Jersey Dairy Farm.
Johnny Bakers father was opposed
to bicycles. Johnny lived out in the
country on big dairy farm, and longed
very much to possess bike" but his
father had been so annoyed by bad city
boys riding out to his place. stealing his
watermelons and robbing his orchards,
that he had conceived bitter dislike
for wheels and wheelmen in general.
All Johnny's pleadings had utterly
failed to overcome his fathers preju-
dice.
One day Johnny's sick city cousin
came out to the farm on long visit Tor
the benefit Of his health and brought
his bicycle with him. Johnny was de-
lighted, and Immediately took advan-
tage of the long-sought opportunity to
learn to ride. As the weeks went by his
cousins health improved very slowly,
thus Johnny got chance 10 ride the
wheel great deal himself, and in
short time became quite proficient in
its use. But finally his uncle came to
take his cousin home, and Johnny felt
very blue when he considered that 1t
would be long time before he would
again have the opportunity to engage
in the eXhilarating pastime.
The morning his cousin was to 60
home Johnny got up bright and early,
SO as to take one long last ride. Hur-
rying out to the barn to turn the cattle
out to pasture. he found his father
there before him in very angry frame

enemy had broken into the stable and

wagon, five sets of harness. buggy,

Soon afterward the car stopped, and he
was surprised to see outside the very friend

The professor passed him, taking no mo-

Cruelty 1. one to Women.

At the congress Of the American
Ornithologists' union Chairman Will
Lam butcher read his report, which he
riefaced with this statement: "The
continued use of feathers and birds
on women's hats is, think, due to an
uEwillingness on their part to assume
individual responsibility. Most women
know the cruelty entailed in obtaining
the plumes that ornament their hats,
but excuse themselves on the ground
that 1T was not committed for me per-

Treatment, OF stained Floors.

Stained floors should be restained at
least once a year. Have the floor thor
cughly scrubbed and dried before go
ing over with the paint and varnish.
To secure the best results, the stain
should be put on first and allowed to
dry before the coating of varnish is
added. A mixture of warm water, soap
and household ammonia is the best
fluid one can use for cleaning oard
floors. Never use a scrubbing brush
on painted, stained or vanished floor.
Use soft mop. Ink spots may be east
ly removed by rubbing them with spir.
its of salts, and grease will disappear
after an application of fuller's earth.

Herr NJ. Molisch has found by ex-
pertinent that alum in the soil invaria-
bly, changes the naturally pink color
of the flowers of Hydrangea hortensis to
blue. The efficient constituent in the
alum is the aluminium sulphate. Fer
rio suiphate produces similar results.
Oaher salts of iron are generally mega

chemically combined with the salts In

NJ. Jacquemin, French pharmacist,
has invented process by which, he
says, he can form from the leaves Of
various fruit-bearing trees and shrubs
the fiayors that are characteristic of the
fruits themselves. From apple tree
leaves, crushed and fermented, he OBJ
tains a liquid possessing the fragrance
and taste of apples. and from vine
leaves beverage resembling wine. His
theory is that the peculiar flavor of ap-
pies. pears. grapes and berries is pre-
pared in, and derived from. the leaves
of the plant.

Audibiiity of Thunder.

While lightning may be seen and its
illumination of clouds and mist may be
recognized when it is 200 miles dis
tant, thunder is rarely audible ten
miles. A curious and important con-
dition of audibility in a thunder wave
is that it shall not be refracted or re-
fiected by layers of warm and cold air
between the observer and the light
ming, or by layers Of wind, swift above
and slow below, so as to pass entirely
around or above the observer. Persons
on hill tops hear thunder inaudible in

DAIRY ICE SUPPLY.


How 10 Construet m Zee Hoase In the
Corner Of . Kara.
The use Of ice is absolutely necessary
in summer dairy work: and the extern
sion Of the dairy industry is impeded
in many cases by lack of ice for sue
cessful work. The idea that costly
icehouse is requisite for the profitable
storage OF ice, is not borne out by those
who have improvised storage at COM
paratively trifling expense. A corner
in the barn can be adapted by any farm
er at all handy with tools, at cost
exceedingly small when compared with
the advantages which liberal sup
ply of ice during the heated season, will
confer.
There are few localities where brook
or stream cannot be temporarily
damned or piece of adjacent land
flooded so as to afford a sufficient depth
for freezing. Where ice is to be used
for any other than cooling or refriger-
ating purposes the water must. OF
course, be pure, as ice cannot be pureI
