The Postmastcr's "Defi."

In speaking the other day of the
great progress which has been made
in the postal service of the country
within recent years, Postmaster Mer-
ritt told a story to illustrate that there
were still parts of the United States
which had not been toGched by the
spirit of improvement.
:sI stopped in at the Postofice De-
partment the other day." General
Merritt said, in reciting the story,
''and in looking over some Of the COM
munications I chanced on one that
took my fancy nightly. 1t came from
the head of one of Uncle Sans Offices
way out in the Rocky Mountains, in
an almost uninhubited section, and ap-
peared to have been sent partly as a
note of information and partly as an
ultimatum to the Government at
Washington. 1t read as follows:
"'Notice-This Office will be closed
for the next three days, while the
postmaster goes on bear hunt. You
can discharge me if you want to, but I
warn you beforehand that I'm the only
man that can read. and writs in the
neighborhood. "-Washington Post.

Combination Table Ware.

Everything must be neat and con-
venient and orderly nowadays. Trays
are bought in sets, tables in nests,
coffee CUPS in boxes containing six OF
a dozen, tea cups and a tea pot all
done up in a basket are to be had,
dainty enough for wedding presents.
"Combinations" for the table are the
pride OF the china and silver dealers.
One of the newest of these sets is a
breakfast service consisting of silver
troy, a toast rack, egg cups, salt and
pepper pots and jar for marmalade
or maple syrup. Another combina'
ton dish is to all appearances q soup
tureen of ancient Sheffield pattern.
On removing the lid an entree-dish is
found and the lid can be converted
into dessert dish, or the whole would
serve as q hot.water breakfast dish.
Another versatile piece of table silver
is bowl with o Huted and chiselled
rim. It is for fruit, custard, salad or
flowers, and strange to say it does
look quite suitable when put to any
one of its many uses. When used for
desserts or fruit white porcelain bowl
is inserted, and gilt wire frame is
added when it is used as receptacle
for flowers.

odd Conceit For a Shelf.

Women who poke into odd cornera
in the Japanese stores may have seen
and wondered what earthly use could
be made of the grotesque masks and
faces which are piled into large baskets
set here and there on the counters.
There are all kinds and sorts and aon.
ditions of them. Some are solemn.
some are jolly, some are sad. while old
Satan has o generous representation
among these apparently useless arti.
cles of bric.a-brac. They are fashioned
of dark reddish brown metal, and
are as rule the most outlandish look
ing objects.
Well, O new use has been found fol
them. An inventive woman having a
shelf over her doorway to ornament
conceived the idea Of putting up a row
of these Japanese masks, something
after the fashion of the singing cherubs.
So down she went to the Japanese
store and selected about dozen OF
the oldest of these many odd heads,
and then she arranged them artist.
cally and placed them on the edge OF
her shelf, where they looked like the
front row of O grotesque chorus.-New

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

HEEEEE~<~~
Feed Your Horses Properly.

Farmers generally do not g i've the
feeding of their horses the attention
it deserves. Balanced rations and
food mixtures for the dairy COW and
the feeding steers are carefully ex-
amined and discussed, but the feed
ing of the horses is usually all the
hay that they can eat and varying
quantities of oats according to the
work being done. Sometimes even
the latter part is neglected. If a
horse is required to do extra hard
work he should be literally and fire.
quently fed. The amount of food
given should be regulated by the size
and breed of the animal and by the
amount and kind of work he is re-
auired to do. The horse has small
stomach in proportion to his size,
hence frequent feeding when under
hard work is necessary. The human
stomach can bear hunger far better
than that OF the horse. If driving on
a Journey you feel hungry you may
be sure your horse has felt it before
you did and is needing his feed more
than You do.

Hints For the Laundry.

To Wash White Veils-Take lined
saucepan and in it make O strong
solution of soap and water, put the
veil into it, and place over the fire to
simmer for about twenty minutes,
then squeeze the veil in warm soap
and water till it is quite clean; rinse
in cold water, then again in O little
cold water to which has been added a
few drops of blue and one lump OF
sugar. Shake the veil gently and
pin it we'll out on to a clean towel to
dry.
Colored fannels that are apt to run
when washed should be washed with
soft.soap and oatmeal, then we'll
rinsed in clear warm water, in which
some common kitchen salt has been
dissolved; squeezethe articles through
a wringer, shake them lightly, and dry
as quickly as possible.
TO Wash Colored Silks-Dipping
any colored silk in strong salt and
water before it is washed will preserve
its color and brightness, and prevent
the colors running.
Silk ties and handkerchiefs should
not be washed with other articles but
by themselves. First soak in luke
warm water, then rinse and soap well,
and wash in warm water, and rinse
again in cold water to which little
common kitchen salt has been added.
A lump or two of loaf sugar added
to the starch OH washing days will
rive an additional gloss.

Good Field For Manipulating.

sRubber culture in Central Amer
ica offers a splendid field for poor
man." said Mr.. J. s. Nodine, man
ager of the largest rubber plantation
in Nicaragua. "Just as mn illustra-
tration let me tell you ofthe experience
of a neighbor of ours named Wester-
field. He came to Nicaragua less
than four years ago from somewhere
in New England. and brought with
him little child. He was very much
run down and weakened with con-
sumption, and came to the tropics to
try to regain his health. I happen
to know that he didn't have dollar,
and he was glad to take job clerk
ing at about $40 month gold. Be-
ing naturally shrewd and energetic,
he made little money trading, and
bought 160-acre tract, which he pro-
ceeded to have cleared by degrees.
setting it out partly in rubber trees
and partly in bananas and fruits. In
year the fruit began to retu RI
small revenue, which be used in ex-
tending the cultivation, his idea being
to have eventually a wellstocked rub
ber plantation, and in the meanwhile
to make the other things pay the ex.
penses. By good management and
industry he carried out the program,
and in the second year opened a small
store for trading with the Indians.
After that it was easy, and in consid.
erably less than four years he had one
of the incest rubber groves in the re-
public. The trees are now on the
point of giving their first yield, but
recently his wife's health failed and
he was obliged to return north, hay
ing completely recovered himself.
Four weeks ago he>sold his plantation
as it stands for s23, 900 in gold. This
is an exceptional case, I admit, but at
the same time there is absolutely moth
ing about it that cannot be duplicated
by industry and pluck. New Or.

The Milkman's Best Aerator.

For o long time it has been gener-
ally supposed that milk while still
warm from the cows udder was less
susceptible to odors than after it had
become cool, but DR.. II. l.. Russell,
the eminent Wisconsin bacteriologist,
has shown this to be mistake and
that warm milk actually takes on
more odor than does cold under
similar conditions. This is all i'm
portart discovery, and throws much
light upon the proper handling of milk
for best results.
Clean milking, by clean hands, in
as pure stable atmosphere as obtain
able, must be supplemented by a
rapid and thorough cooling Of the
milk. Cooling at once lessons the
capacity of the milk to take up odors,
arrests the process of fermentation,
and, if we'll stirred during the cooling,
the cream is kept from rising to the
surface and will afterward more surely
remain mixed with the milk while
being distributed from the wagon.
These are valuable considerations for
q milkman who desires to give his
customers q good service.
For Us the simplest and best way to
accomplish all of these good results is
to have o tank of ice water in room
near or adjoining the milking room.
AS fast as the pals are filled, take
Immediately to the tank and pour the
milk into tin cans, which are suspended
in the ice water. Have IN agitator
in the can while being filled. The
simplest and best form for this is not
unlike an old-fashioned churn dasher,
only make the dasher of piece of tin
six or seven inches in diameter,
sohered firmly on to the end of awire
handle, which had better be galvan-
lied and have o loop in the end to
hang it up by. Two or three plunges
with this implement in a can of milk
each time that a pail is emptied will
be found to be very effective in agi.
tating and consequently in cooling the
milk.
We much prefer this simple and ef-
fective method to any of the more
elaborate and expensive ones, and it
is our experience that milk so treated
will keep longer than as though ex-
posed to the atmosphere in a fine
spray or thin sheet, in neither of
which case are any germs removed,
but it is reasonably certain that even
under very favorable conditions, q few
are added to the milk. Milk or any
other fluid will cool much more read
lily when brought in close contact with
water than in air, even though the air
is considerably colder than the water.
This is especially true of milk in tin
cans or glass jars. If one must have
an aerutor, he should choose ono
through which water is run for cool
ing purposes.-F. W. Mossman, in
New England Homestead.

Honey I'm tho hive.

Every colony of bees should have
twenty-five or thirty pounds of good
sealed honey to carry it through the
winter properly. The only feed that
T would recommend is granulated
sugar, thoroughly melted by adding
water, and bringing it to the boiling
point. It should not boil for any
length of time, or it will certainly
crystalline. The syrup should be thin
when fed-about the consistency Of
molasses.
Before feeding begins it would be
we'll to arrange the brood nest, but In
most cases the bees have already done
this. The center OF the hive should con-
tain three or four combs that are empty
in the center and lined at the top and
ends with honey. Other frames,
heavy With honey, may be placed at
the sides until the hive is filled. Dur
ing autumn we often find frames of
combs filled with pollen near the
brood nest. and on excessive amount
of this is not desirable for wintering,
and may be removed. Pollen is used
only for rearing brood, and to confne
bees on it for winter food has a ten.
eency to produce dysentery. Any
pollen thus removed should be re-
placed early in the spring.
Bees surely need some other treat
ment in winter than leaving them out
in ordinary hives. Different modes
of wintering have been adopted. but
two methods are most in vogue. One
is to place them in cellars, and the
other in chaff protection on summer
stands, or, in other words, chaff
hives. The latter plan is the most
extensively practiced. The chaff
hive is on outside box or shell enclos.,
ing the hive of bees, and much larger.
1t admits packing space of two or
three inches around the sides, ends,
and bottoms, and from six to ten
inches on top.-A. II. Duff, in Farm,
Field and Fireside.

Fish and Bird on One Line.

Smith Middleton had novel catch
while fishing in the river on Saturday.
It was the occasion of the fish fry
given by Mr.. Will McRee to a party OF
young people at Valdosta. Smith put
out a trout line, baited with minnows,
and in q short while went back to see
what the results were. To his great
surprise he found four-pound trout
on one of the hooks, big catfish on
the other ard a crane on the other
hook. Such catch of fish and bird
has not been recorded in this section
