HOME FOR TRAINMEN,
Movement On Foot to Take Care of All
Aged, Invalid and Crippled Train
ODeratnra

Ihere are strong probabilities that
within the next two or three years Il
home for aged. invalid and crippled
railway trainmen of all classes will be
established at some point in the cen
tral west At the recent convention OF
tht Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men at Des Moines. lowe. PROPOSE
tiOn to build such IA home was submit
ted, and the members of the convention
showed their favor to it by apprOpri-
ating $4,000 as a starter toward car
ryilg it out All other railroad organ
Hations in the land it is said. will be
asked to lend their support and assist
ance in realizing the scheme.
Although the plans thus far settled
upon are solely preliminary in their
character. the general idea for the es-
1abliShmrnt of the home is quite clear
ly defined. 1t is said to be the purpose
OF those who are the prime spirits in
the movement to advocate the selection
of Columbus. Ohio or Chicago as Il
place wherein to locate the home. 1t
Is likely that the home will be mod
cled in n degree after such an institu-
ton as that maintained by the Masons
at Springfield. Ohio, or as that kept up
for old and intirm soldiers at Lafay-
cue, lHtlalla. Inc soldiers Home AZ
Lafayette is practically a little town in
itself, there being streets lined with
cottages, an amusement hall. a water
works and an electric light plant, be
sides general barracks and officers
quarters.
1t is probable that the various organ
iZations of railway trainmen will he
asked to make contributions to the
general building fund rs quickly AS
possible. There have been several suE-
gcstions as to how the fund should be
raised, but 1t is likely that organiza-
tions will lend their financial assist
ance in any manner that they individ-
ually may see tit. About $4,000 will
be needed before the work of carrying
out the scheme can be begun in earn

the cream which the butter maker
ripens with pure cultures shall be OF
good quality as it is when ripened
without the cultures. While the
quality of butter made from poor
cream may be improved by the use
OF pasteurization followed by pure
cultures, some effects of ,he inferior
quality of cream will remain in spite
Of that Third, experiments have
shown that the use of pasteurization
with pure cultures Will not correct the
errors due to sovenliness in dairy
matters. 1t is just as necessary that
care should be taken in all details
as it was before the cultures were
adopted
In general dairy ractice the results
have been perhaps more favorable
than in experimental tests. This is
doubtless due to the fact that the
dairy has great variety Of difficulties
to contend with which can be more
readily eliminated in experimental
tests than in general practice. If the
use of pure cultures, therefore, is Of
any value in correcting errors that
come from carelessness, it is very
clear that the use of such cultures in
general practice where carelessness is
to be expected would be more valu-
able than it would appear from the
experimental tests where carelessness
can be eliminated. u

Odd Costume for American

The latest thing in American military
uniforms is probably that adopted by
the Samoan national guard, which has
just been organized by Commandant
Tilley. The guard is a regularly organ
lzed military company of tie United
States and is armed with Lee rifles.
The uniform consists of white singletS.
blue lavalHvas with red facings. red
slshes, red turDans and the usual cart
ridge box nccoutrementS.
The lavallvn is short skirt. which
In aboriginal times was made of bA-
mana leaves. but is now made Of cot
ton cloth. The effect is something like
Highland kilt except that the skirt
is shorter. The singlet is n sort OF
doublet or WaiStcOat.
Almost the first service the T',tuila
national guard was called on to per
form was to arrest Il chief who had
destroyed the house and property of
another Samoan because the latter had
cooked ana eaten Il fish which, accord
ing to Samoan customs, was reserved
exclusively for the chiefs.

Poultry Bri$fs.

We would be pleased to hear from
with fowls during the past spring and
summer. There are many points upon
which We would like reports, among
them the results Of yarding fowls
Also We doubt not that many of our
readers have grown rape for pastur-
ing their fowls. AS 1t has been a
good growing season We should have
many favorable reports as to the value
Of rape as poultry pasture.
One writer says that If we can force
the hens to lay each ten more eggs in
year it means a good deal of profit,
and this is true; for the reason that
the hen has first to lay enough eggs
to pay for her feed and care, before
anything can be counted for profit.
1t is on account OF this that the
scientific raisers OF poultry and the
men that make living out Of it are
constantly trying new methods with
the hope OF increasing the egg yield.
One poultryman that gets a good
many eggs in the fall of the year feeds
somewhat after the following manner
He boils soup bone till the substance
OF it is in the water, and the water is
used to scald bran. The pail of
scalded bran is covered over till the
steam and heat in the water have thor
oughly cooked the mass. After it has
70 q to-
fed at once. This feed is given once a
day, at least threugh the moulting
season.
The time Of the year Is approaching
when the incubators will be brought
into use, and the users of such inven-
tions should be reminded of the fact
that getting the chicks out of the
shells is not the only thing by any
means. The brooders must be care
fully handled as to temperature, es-
pecially during the first days after the
chicks come out Of the incubators. At
the time the chickens are placed in the
brooder it should be at a temperature
of 80 to 95 degrees, but not above the
last mentioned point. Just here is
where the necessity for a reliable ther-
mometer comes in. for some ther-
mometers are SO unreliable that they
will not register within five degrees of
the correct temperature. AS will be
seen, five degrees too high or too low
may make good deal OF difference
with the brooder chicks. A ther-
mometer need not be expensive to be
reliable, for some Of the cheap ones
are correct. The chicks will themselves
act in some measure as thermometers
writer on poultry says that when the
temperature is just right the chicks
will lie down. each by himself, and
seem to enjoy the situation.

CHAPTER III.

Hyde sat with an open book before him.
He was not reading It; he was thinking
Of Cornelia.
He closed his book with Impotence and
went to Princes and bought little rush
basket filled with violets. Into their
midst he slipped his visiting card and saw
the boy on his wey with the flowers to
Cornelia ere he was satisfied they would
reach her quickly enough. This finished,
he began to consider what he would do
with his day. Turning aitnlessly into
Pearl street he saw Cornena.
She was dressed only in a little morn
ing gown Of India chintz, but in such SIM
pie toilet had still more distinctly that
air of youthful modesty which he had
found so charmingly tantalizing. He
fastened to her side. He blessed his
good angel for sending him such an en-
chanting surprise. He said the most ex-
travaGant things in the most truthful
manner, as he watched the bushes of
pleasure come and go on her lovely face.
Cornelia was going to the Universal
Store" of Gerardus Duychinck, and Hyde
begged to go with her. He said he was
used to shopping; that he always went
with his mother and with Lady Christiana
Griffin and Mrs. White and many others;
that he had good taste and could tell the
value of laces, and knew how to choose
piece of silk or match the crewels for
her embroidery, and, indeed, pleaded his
case so merrily that there was no re-
fusing his offer. And how it happened
lovers can tell; but after the shopping
was finished they found themselves walk
ing toward the battery, with the fresh
wind, and the bright sunshine, and the
Joy Of each others presence all around
them.
At the gates of her home they stood
moment, and there Hyde touched her
hand and said: II have never in all my
life been so happy" Then the great white
door shut her from his sight and he
walked rapaidly away.
Cornelia trembled as she opened the
parlor door. She feared to look into her
mothers face, but 1t was as serene as
usual, and she met her daughters glance
with one of infinite affection and some
little expectancy. Now, every woman
has her critical moment, and Cornelia
made slight hesitation Some little,
false sprite put ready excuse into her
heart, but she banished 1t at once, and
with courage of one who fears lest they
are not truthful enough, she said with
blunt directness, which put all subter-
fuge out of the question::
Mother, have been long time, but
l met Lieut.. Hyde and we walked down
to the Battery. and I think 1 have
stayed beyond the hour I ought to have
stayed; but the weather was delight
full"
THE weather is very delightful, and
Lieut.. Hyde is very polite. Did he speak
of the v1olets he sent you?'
Il suppose he forgot them All, there
they are! How delightful! How beau
tiful! How fragrant! L VIII give them
to youj mother"
They are your own. my dear, I would
not give them away 10.
Then Cornelia lifted them and shyly
buried her face in their heavenly beauty
and sweetness, and afterward took the
card in her hand and read Lieut.. George

But. mother" she said. "Arenta call

These agents also greet the passengers
arriving from Europe. The baggage of
the passengers is transferred to the New

The holder spirits among the burghers
were pretty free in their criticisms about
Joubert. They realized that the British
should have been closely followed up in
their retreat, and that considerable time
had been wasted after the declaration of
