FIGURES AND EYES.

An Indication c. Advancing Age

as we crow older" remarked the
man who was doing that at the rate Of
4 week every seven days. we begin
to observe that we seem to need more
light when we read or that the print
Of the newspaper that we have been
reading with ease for ever so many
years is not quite Us good as it used to
be, or that we can distinguish the let
ters little better if we hold them far

slow indeed to observe that the real
cause Of it is that we are growing old.
and we rather resent the suggestion ii
some kindly friend that we need
glasses.

cause they are the visible sign Of our
weakness, and all the world may know

MIX and Thunder.

From various experiments respecting
Il connection between thunderstorms
and the souring of milk Professor II.
w Conn draws the conclusion that
electricity is not of itself capable OF
souring milk or even of materially has
tening the process. nor can the ozone
developed during the thunderstorm be
looked upon as of any great imp0r-
lance. 1t seems probable that the con
nection between the thunderstorm and
the Souring OF milk is of Il different
character. Bacteria grow most rapid
ly in the warm sultry conditions which
usually precede a thunderstorm. and it
will frequently happen that the thun-
derstorm and the souring occur toseth-
er not because the thunder has hasten
ed the souring. but rather because the
climatic conditions which have brought
the storm have at the same time been
such as to cause unusually rapid bac-
terra growth.

Differences I'll Creamery Returns,
There is a Grcat difference with
creamery patrons in the amount of
money they receive per COW and per
herd CT the same number Of COWS. says
Hoard's Dairyman We illustrated that
point last summer in printing the divi-
dends received for the milk Of IS Pc
irons in the month OF May at q neigh
boring creamery. One man received
81 cents Il hundred, 10 cents below the
average of the creamery for that
month, and another received 50 cents.
or % cents above the average. That
difference was all il the degree Of
dairy &umpti0n and intelligence Of enc
man, in the management OF his herd
over the other.
There seems TO be nearly the same
difference in the averages CT different
creamerics. We have before Us the
returns. per hundred, Of milk of four
Wisconsin creameries for the month of
November last. One paid So cents per
hundred of milk. the second 90 cents
the third 81 cents and the fourth S1.C3.
IL Is cF ldeul tIdl tuc p1CIOAS w lAiS
creamery which received SO cents, or 20
cents per hundred less than the BEST
need to wake up and ask themselves
the question, "Why is this thus?"
We can see in these two instances
what it costs the individual patron or
a community of patrons to be sluggish
and indifference to their own dairy ecu
cation.
The creamery that received 20 cents
less was handling about 10000 pounds
of milk per day. or for the month
100000 pounds. A loss of 20 cents
hundred is $500 for one month alone.
This loss was al at the farm end Of the
business. for their butter sold in the
general market as high as did the best.

also assaulted the Waterman. Thomas

Before being taken into custody heaAot
himself in the stomach, and also made
an ugly cash in his throat with
penllnife. An eyewitness TO the latter
part Of the encounter between the two
men stated that upon hearing tha'
sound OF the shots he ran into the au
ditor's office, which he had just left.
Upon entering the room he saw the
two men struggling in each others
arms, Macdonald holding his revolver
close up to Norris breast. Macdonald,
after firing, again attempted to get out
Of the room. but encountered 4 num-
Der Of CLERKS and employees, which the
sound of the firing had brought to the
doors, and then turned and fired again.
THIS is believed to have been the fatal
shot. Employees who knew Macdonald
said he had q grievance against Nor

for having his pay reduced.

Indianapolis, Dec. %. - Receiver
Clark, Of the Chosen Friends, says
creditors have little prospect of realiz-
