A Narrow Escape.

The man with the court plaster on his
nose was talking about a cyclone and what
narrow escape he had when one of the group
asked:
"Where were you when the cyclone hit
your house,"
Down cellar" was the reply.
You knew it was coming and had fled for
safety"
"Oh, no! had a jaw with my wife and she
had locked me up in the cellar half day
previous"
''And when the house went a.fying frag-
ment hit you on the nose?"
"Well, no. My wife hit me on the nose the
day before she locked me up"
"ThCn what about your narrow escape
from the cyclone?" persisted the questioner

down cellar and hit me again just as the
wind picked the house up and sent it sail

CLEAN MILKING PAYS.
Interesting Experiments Conducted
by Prof. ID. III. Otis, mt the Kan
sas State station.

1t is a well-knoHn fact that cows not
milked clean will tend to dry up in short
order. Another important reason fol
milking clean is to get all of the halter
fat, which is contained in a much larger
per cent. in the last than in the first
milk drawn, as is shown by the follow.
ing experiment. The college dairy has
conducted an experiment showing the
Importance of clean milking. Five
COWS were selected and their milk col
lected in half-pint bottles, each teat
contributing its share to every bottle.
These samples were tested with the
Babcock test, with the following re-
suits:
Cow No. varied from C of one per
cent. to 7.2 per cent.
Cow No. 10 varied from 3 of one per
cent. to Go per cent.
Cow No. IA varied from 1.6 per cent.
to 58 per cent.
Cow No. IS varied from Is per cent.
to G.S per cent.
Cow No. 20 varied from s of one per
cent. to rs per cent.
The results show gradual although
not entirely uniform, increase in the
per cent. of fat from the beginning to
the last of the milking, except with the
last two samples drawn from each COW.
Here the per cent. of fat would take
sudden leap, amounting often to third
or half of the total variation. This
shows very clearly how important it is
to get all the milk. BY averaging the
results it was found that the last quar-
ter of pint was worth from three
fourths to 70 pints of milk first drawn
from the udder. Moral: Milk clean
and get fat.-D. II. Otis, Kansas Expert
ment Station.

PLANNING A DEPARTURE.
An Author Who Would Get Out of the
Beaten Track and Give
the Be~t Thing.

"What we want" said the publisher, "is
a good, realistic story of army life Some
thing that will show just how events move
among the soldiers"
II see," said the author; 81 was in the
army myself, L know exactly how things
are conducted"
Something that will thrill the reader to
the marrow and make his hair stand on
end"
Il thought you said you wanted some.
thing out of the ordinary"
That's what | am after"
"Well, in that case, we won't have any
thrill in it. OF course, it's there, but it
comes so suddenly and is so soon over that
you hardly have time to know what thrilled
you. If you want to get right down to
hard pan realism and sound the keynote
of the soldiers general experience, you
want to leave out most of this description
of a hero rushing headong through strug-
Cling men and oveq fallen horses, waving /
gun with one hand and the star spangled
banner with the other, while singing My
Country, IT'S of Thee. at the top of his
voice. Well get out of the beaten track of
fiction and relate how many hours day he
spend currying his horse and polishing his
weapons, and how many miles a day he
travelled, and how often he wanted to talk
back and didn't dare, and how he would
have been willing to give four dollars a
square inch for beefsteak, and all the
rest of the little details which play so i'm
portant a part and which writers of fiction
have hitherto so strangely neglected.

Applying Poultry Manure.

Do not neglect TO make use of the
poultry droppings, says the Farmer.
There is no manure on the farm that
equals it, and if properly gathered
from droppings boards it will be en-
tirely free from weed seeds, a very i'm
portant characteristic of fertilizers. A
great many are afraid to use it, fear
ing it is so strong as to burn up the
plants which it is intended to benefit.
There is only one proper method of ap-
plying poultry manure to the soil be-
fore planting, and that is broadcasting
it upon the soil after blowing and thor
oughly mixing it with the soil by har-
rowing. Applied in this way, the
growth of the crops grown on that
piece of ground VIII be simply won
derful. 1t should be spread rather thin;
at least a wheelbarrowful will go as
far as a wagon load of coarse stable
manure. The thicker it is spread ths
more thoroughly it should be narrowed
into the soil

cheer even if only filled with water.

To Make Glassware Shine.

Tumblers and wine glasses should be
washed in hot water and rinsed in cold,
and should be dried with clean cloth
as soon as possible, and when perfectly
cry rubbed with tissue paper. For
cruets, decanters, etc, tear up some
clean newspapers into pieces about as
big as ten-cent pieces, put into bottles,
half-filled with warm water; give bot
ties a rotary motion. When clean, de-
cant and little practice throws out
the paper. They will be as bright as
new. TO clean glasses-wine glasses
especially 49, which have become dis
colored on edges, use cigar ashes, fric-
ton and damp cloth.

THE WOMAN BEAUTIFUL.
The Daily Bath an InfalIibIc Recipe
for Clear Skin and Fresh
Complexion.

Cleanliness goes hand in hand with
beauty, not mere cleanliness of face and
hands, but that which promotes the
health of the whole body, keeping the
circulation active and the complexion
clear. The hot bath twice weekly, with
the use of flesh brushes and such toilet
aids as tend to improve and restore
the nervous system and give vigor to all
functions, will be found a necessary
groundwork for beauty building
Cleanliness of the skin has great ef
feet on the proper assimilation of food
by the body, for the tonic of a good
bath reaches much farther than the
skin, and the flesh is purified by the
process and becomes smooth and firm
as wax. Aromatic baths, which are
begun with hot water and graduated
to tepid and cold, are very invigorating.
Perfumed tablets are sold by the drug
gists, one of which dissolved in the
water of the bath gives it delicious
and refreshing odor. Sometimes an
ounce of ammonia added to gallon of
water will be found helpful. When the
sponge bath or immersion does not
agree with the system the sponge bath,
with friction, is good substitute. The
hair mitten, loofah and flesh brush an
swer the purpose of the modern method
of massage, especially where there is
lack of strength on the part of the
subject or an objection to manipulation
of strange hands. The sponge bath
should never be hot, but should be be-
gun with tepid water, ending with a
cool tone, not cold. If there is danger
of taking cold the brisk rub with di-
luted alcohol will prevent it. The dry
bath, where there are serious objections
to water, consists of dry rubbing, after
which the flesh is rubbed with flannel
dipped in toilet water, after which it
is dried with Turkish toweling. Then
there are the professional baths, the
Russian bath, Turkish bath, vapor
bath, mineral water or sulphur bath,
all good in their way and of value as
health reviewers. Any or all might
be classed under the head of the beauty
bath-Chicago Chronicle.

STILETTO FOR WOMEN.
Dagger In the Form of Scissors Ii
Carried by Almost Every
Lady in Spain.

The Spanish are generally reputed to
be a quick, hottempered race, people
who on small provocation resort to
deadly weapons to avenge wrong or
slight. The stiletto, small dagger
with keenly pointed, slender blade, is
favorite with these people, partly be-
cause of its size, and perhaps more be-
cause of its certainty, as its keen point
and slender blade do not require much
force to make it effective. These stilet-
tos are made in many styles, but the
strangest to the American mind is one
made as pair of scissors. This is a
form much affected by women, as it is
doubly useful, and in the very nature
of things is most likely to be near at
hand.
They are made like an ordinary pair
of scissors, except that the shank" or

The only way one can be sure each
time to have satisfactory results in jei-
ly making is to keep trying the juice.
Take little out on a saucer, let it cool,
and then examine it. 1t is a safer way
than to trust to a given number of min
utes. The condition of fruit is hardly
ever twice alike. If possible, when
making jelly, put the fruit after it is
cooked into a flannel bag and let it
drain slowly 1t is much more likely
to be clear than if squeezed or pressed
out hastily. In making elderberry iel-
ly cook the berries till soft, then strain
through jelly bag. A thicker and bet
ter favored Jelly is obtained by adding
one-third grapes or apples. 70 every
pint of juice add one pint of white
sugar.

Loss from Foor MiIker.

A good milller should have strong
grip in his hands. He will have it if he
milks cows many years. The grip does
not necessarily require very strong
muscles, but it is the constant exercise
twice a day which gives the muscles of
the hands and fingers development
that nothing else will do. But if a
hired man has not already such de-
velopment of muscles as will make him
fast mixer, do not employ him with
the milking of cows as one of his du-
ties. While he is learning to milk
steady and fast stream he is driving the
COW off, as after time she will learn
to hold up her milk. If only a little
milk is left after each milking, the cow
will very soon go dry. That will cost
the farmer more than the wages of a
good mixer who will keep the cow to
her standard until near the time to drop
another calf.-American Cultivator.
