Plucking Roses While They Skate.

The weather conditions which have
produced skating are rather remarkable.
For the past week the temperature re-
NAMED almost steadily few degrees
below freezing point, days clear and
sunshiny and the nights "a trifle colder.
The continued low temperature has at
last frozen still water, without the
usual cold snap catastrophes to water
pipes and without seriously damaging
the rosebushes Beautiful buds and
half developed roses are to be found in
many gardens So it has been possible
for people going out skating to pluck
roses to wear as they glided over the
ice. Portland Orpgonian

A MOTHERS GRATITUDE
Many a Mother in st. Paul Will
Appreciate the Following.

Many a strong man and many a healthy
woman has much to thank mother, for.
The care taken during their childhood
days has brought them past the danger
point and made them healthy men and
women. Children are generally bothered
at some period with incontinence of
urine, and inability to retain the urine is
ofttimes called a habit It is not the
children's fault; the difficulty lies with
the kidneys and can be readily righted
If taken in the right way A St Paul
mother shows you how.
Mrs. T. Downey, No. $50 Agate street
says: II can highly advise the use of
Doan's Kidney Pills for such cases as
that of our boy. When he was about four
years old he received a severe fall, which
injured his back and kidneys He COM
planned of backache and was troubled
with kidney weakness, annoying at
night, causing me trouble and anxiety.
We tried many remedies, and doctors
treated him, but nothing did him much
good. When 1 learned about Doan's Kid
ney Pills 1 sent to F. NJ Parker's drug
store and got a box. There was a notice.
able Improvement In a short time and
after he used two and half boxes all
symptoms of his weakness and pains in
the back disappeared. The cost of Doan's
Kidney Pills is nothing compared to doc
tors bills, and their work is decidedly
satisfactory

that brides and bridegrooms are not popu-

Different from the bride is the engag-
ed girl travelling without her tiance. I
can spot her at once, because for the
first day or two, If she is able to be about,
she spends two or three hours in the fore
noon alone in the saloon writing a faith
full report of all the stages of her loneIi-
ness and sorrow at being separated from
him. About the third out, though, she
begins to notice things, and before the
end Of the voyage she is promenading the
deck morning and evening with another
of the young men passengers, or sitting
with them in neighboring steamer chairs
engaged in long heart-to-heart talks
about their favorite poets and novelists,
while the time spent alone in the saloon
writing to him grows shorter and shorter
each day.
THE girl who gets the least fun out
of an ocean voyage is the aristocratic
girl who is travelling with an over-alert
and exclusive mother. She can be seen
any day standing by the rail in the shad-
ow of her mamma, gazing out of the cor
ner of an envious eye at the jolly and
less carefully chaperoned young woman
who has made the acquaintance of the
handsomest man on the ship and is prom
enading briskly up and down the deck,
regardless of other less fortunate NOR

tanning good, clear impression of any

and more simple than letter press print

Original sketches, scrolls or fancy letter

Using Collegiate EducatiOns
The following article from the Iowa
Homestead is Of interest at this time
when the commission men of Minnesota
are using their best endeavors to break
a law passed by the last legislature to
compel them to give bonds.
Nearly every dairyman who has learned
TO make good butter in sufficient amount
to render it necessary for him to seek a
market at a distance has had trouble
with irresponsible commission men. Grad
ually states in which large central mar
kets are found are awakening to the
necessity for controlling and regulating
the commission business, so that frauds
upon shippers may be prevented and hon
est commission men may be protected
against the competition of snide houses
that do business on the theory that they
don't intend to make any returns to con-
signors. Until the millennial conditions
Of perfect protection all round are estab-
lished we would advise shippers to keep
away from the houses that flood the
country with quotations just a little bit
higher than anybody else can make and
all, when they get a connection estab-
lished with a good commission house that
treats them fairly they should cling to it
as with hooks of steel. Shippers who
shift from one house to another upon
slight cause are pretty sure to run up
against a robber and be buncoed out of
the value of several shipments almost be-
fore they know it. Before making a con-
signment of goods to a commission house
for the first time find out the standing of
the firm to which it is proposed to con-
sign. This can easily be done, either
through the local banks or the commercial
agencies, and it ought to be done always,
for safety is a good deal better than the
offer of cent or two more per pound
that is either never paid, or, if paid, is
only bait to secure larger shipments
that are intended to be stolen.
D. H. Otis had the following interesting
article in the last issue of the Farm,
Field and Fireside: Before the 1st of
April 1899, the herdsman at the Kansas
agricultural college was a man with no
special training along agricultural lines.
He was good man to do what he was
told and to draw his salary, but there his
interest ended. When asked how the re-
cent snow storm or change of feed af-
fected the milk yield of his cows he didn't
know, although he had weighed and re-
corded each milking. During this time
the college was feeding four head of
calves on skim milk, and this herdsman
made them gain at the rate of thirty
three pounds per month per head, OF
LIZ pounds per day.
On the 1st of April a graduate Of the
college and a special student in dairying
took up the work of herdsman. He is q
man that is constantly on the alert for
new developments When milking fresh
cow he can scarcely wait until the milk is
weighed in order to see If there is a gain
or loss from previous milkings When
the calves are weighed he wants to know
Immediately how much they have gained.
With the same feeds at his command he
made the four calves mentioned above
gain an average of ffty-three pounds
