NIGHT ON A CATTLE RANGE.

There's n wclrd-llke charm in the starit
night on the breast of the western
plains,
as the day In its glory wanes.
Where the night breeze kisses the fevered
earth and the gems of the star-world
CLEAN
with their twlnkling sparkles of silvery
light till the heavens with beauty
The heart beats soft with soothing sense
of freedom and calm delight
AS we lie and gaze at the whip-poor-wills
oerhead in their playful flight
Where the grasses rustic lullaby by the
breath OF the night wind stirred
And the dog-wolf howls in the sandy hills
and the cowboy sings to his herd.
ou there on the breast of rising slope the
cattle in uqiet lie.
Nor raise their heads when the shadowy
form of the rider passes them by.
But close their eyes when the soothing song
of the tireless watcher they hear
The song that tells them to lie In peace; no
danger Is lurking near.
The weary man from the citys noise on
the grass in his blanket lies
And reads a story of peaceful rest on the
scroll of the starlit skies,
And dreamly watches the fitful flight OF
the restless nocturnal bird.
Where the dog-wolf howls in the sandy
hills and the cowboy sings to his herd.
How near to the presence of God we feel!
How sacred the stiffness seems,
How the wearied soul In its new-found rest
with the JOY of existence teens!
How we almost think we can see the face
of the Father of All up there
in a twinkling frame of the silent stars
that jewel the midnight air!
What fancies fill the delighted brain as we
float on a dreamy sea
To the mystic shadows of Sunderland
from the cares of the earth set free
Float on till the last dim vision of earth by
the finger of sleep is blurred,
Where the dog wolf howls In the sandy
hills and the cowboy sings to his herd

BALDY. PROPERTY OF MAJo OR GENERAL MEADE.

no amount of coaNing or urging on
the part of the great commander could
persuade him TO move on. Gen. Meade,
dismnunting. remarked:
Badly is finished this time, for this
is the first occasion that he ever re-
fused to go under fire"
And he was then led to the rear, the
general being promptly supplied with
another horse. In the hope that Badly
would recover, his master kept him
until the following spring, though he
was never able TO use him. Just be-
fore the army crossed the Rapidan
river in May. 1864, fearing the wound
ed horse would be in the way in the
approaching campaign, he was sent to
Philadelphia, and soon after placed in
charge of Capt. Samuel Ringwalt, of
Downington, Pa, who had served with
Meade in the early days of the war, who
knew all about Baldy, and who, the
general was certain, would take good
care of him. He remained with the
captain until after the close of the
war, when Gen. Meade returned to
Philadelphia to find his favorite horse
as ever, constantly using him for sew
eral years, until, from long service and
old age, he became unsafe as a sad
dle-horse. He was then presented, to
a country friend in Montgomery coun-
ty, who took the best care of Baldy un-

HINTS FOR ECONOMISTS.
How to FreShcn TuiIe and How to Do
over various other Dainty and
PcrishnbIc Fabrics.

Some useful hints for the furnishing
of defaced hat trimmings are given
by the Millinery Trade Review. Won
derfully good results can be obtained
by little effort in this direction. To
steam out crumpled Grape, pin the
pieces fiat on thickly covered board,
lay wet cloth on top and pass very
hot iron over the surface, close enough
to draw the steam from the wet cloth,
but not allowing the iron to rest the
slightest bit on the Grape. Let the
Grape remain on the board few min
utes to thoroughly dry before TAX
ing up.
To steam out tulle, have, if possible,
one of the new fan-shaped attach
ments to put in the spout of a kettle;
this enables one to keep far enough
off the heating flame to avoid danger
of ignition. Failing this. have large
kettle or pan of water boiling, turn
the gas low, and, taking one end of
your tulle between two hands, pass
through the steam, gently stretching
and smoothing, and rolling up as you
go. In this way you can steam yards
y
steamed portion drop over, and when
done you have roll of fresh, crisp
tulle.
Mousseline de sole and chiffon can
be done the same way, but sometimes
it gives better results by being lightly
pressed under a damp rag.
Velvet must be steamed only over
oil hnt
Do not brush velvet while wet.
If velvet is very much marred, and
does not steam out satisfactorily, you
can "miroir' it by laying it fiat and
smoothing the iron over it the way of
the nap. Nelveteen and plush can be
done the same. Plush gets quite the
! appearance of miroir antique or
'panne" velvet.
To clean white and gray wings,
shake gently in box of cornmeal,
then brush and shake the meal out,
so as not to crumple the feathers.
Aigrettes wash in soap lather; rinse
and shake dry in the sun or near hot
| stove.
Ribbons are steamed by passing over
| a wet cloth thrown over a hot iron.
To insure the steam going thoroughly
through the creases, hold a wad of dry
cloth over the ribbon, with it smooth
ing out the creases. This works much
better than a brush. Use clean white
cotton cloths. Some taffeta ribbons
will not come out well by anything
but pressing, with a wet cloth over
If stiff, pull out on the bias. Treat
silks the same way.
Freshen black silk lace by sponging
with alcohol. Cream and white silk
laces, if very dirty, can be cleansed
by shaking in benzine or naphths
(taking care there is no fire or light
near). After they are dry damper
with alcohol and pin out to dry.
Cotton laces are cleansed by shaking
in lather made of ivory soap paste
rinsed either in plain or blue water
or for ecru in weak tea or coffee, anC
pinned out to dry, being lightly
pressed with n cool iron on the wrong
side when dry.

mate is so changeable. 1t might rain
at any moment, and the child's feet
get very wet, and if in the summer
it is not wet it is usually extremely
dusty, and the dust gets through the
stockings to the feet and is very un
comfortable, especially as dust or grit
works it's way on to the sole of the
sandal, and hurts tie child's foot.
The sandal may last for indoors,
though, for the modern tendency to
be more natural and sensible extends
itself to the footwear, and people are

corn-making of the pointed toes Of

The Bombay sandals are not built
ON the lines of those worn by the old
Grecians. Yet they come from the

principally of kangaroo hide, and

that million bottles of Pasteurized
milk and what is called modified"
milk will be sold and given away this
summer. For those who are able to
pay for it the milk and the prepared
food for infants is sold at one cent for
six-ounce bottle. The visiting ply
sicians of the board of health and all
physicians who are doing charitable
work among the poor have blank or
ders on the milk depots which they
ell out for those of their little patients
who need this food and whose parents
are unable TO pay for it.
Heretofore these milk depots, with
the exception of two which were kept
open all year, have been in places
This year two permanent booths have
been put up, one in Central park and
another in the park called Tompkins
square. Here milk will be sold for
one cent a glass to everyone who
wants it and in bottles for the ba-
bies. AS you can see from the pic
ture these milk houses will be pret-
y
them will be as neat as a new pin.
They are built of wood on brick
foundations. Inside you see glazed
tiles, concrete floors, marble counters
and brass trimmings, which are kept
polished so bright that you can see
your face in them. In the floor is a
drain and the walls and furniture

from hose so that the germs which
form in spilled milk are never allowed
to grow up and do anybody any harm.
All the milk distributed from these
depots comes from farms in New
York state in which there are
herds of healthy cows and as soon as
it gets into New York city it is taken
to a sterilizing laboratory, a place
where it is put through a treatment
which kills or makes harmless the
germs which exist to a greater or
less extent in all milk. The steriliz-
ing apparatus consists of n copper
boiler with set of cylinders in which
the bottles stand for 30 minutes in
water heated to the boiling point.
Then they are placed IN tank OF
running cold water and cooled quick
ly to prevent them from souring,
After this the bottles are put into ice
water and kept there until they are
sent to the depots where they are
kept in ice boxes.
The cost of all this work-and there
are now Is of these booths-is borne
by the founder of the charity, Mr.
Straus, and it is his intention to
leave money SO that the good work
may go on after his death.

RYAN AND ROSE.
One For Committeeman and One For
Chairman.

Milwaukee, Wis, June 14.-Timothy
E. Ryan of Waukesha will undoubted-
ly succeed Edward c. Wall as demo-
cratic national committeeman. All
the delegates at large to the Kansas
City convention have declared in his
favor and the majority of the district
delegates are for him. Another gain
was made to the Ryan forces yester-
day when Frank Faulkes of the fourth
district declined to attend the conven-
ton, giving way to John Maher, his
alternate, who is a strong anti-Wall
man. The delegation held a meeting
yesterday morning and arranged plans
for the trip to Kansas City. 1t was
decided to have a special train and
Chairman Peck said that there would
be about 200 Wisconsin democrats who
would go with the delegation, includ-
ing some marching clubs. The dele
cation decided to present the name of
Mayor David S. Rose, the chairman of
the delegation, as temporary chairman
of the national convention. The spec
ial train will leave Milwaukee some
time Sunday, July 1, or the day follow
ing, and run over the Milwaukee road
to Kansas City. The special rate for
the round trip is $14.5O.
