large measure of folly stir in floating

solve a half dozen glances in well Iof
silence; dust in a small quantity of hest

cheek or two lips; flavor with slight
scream and set aside to cool.
This will succeed in any climate, If

HOW A GIRL MAY BE A BLESSING.
Today, among a rational people who
appreciate the fact that the best gift they
can confer upon a woman is the knoWl-
edge of her own powers, the whole scheme
CT things is altered. The girl of the cul-
tured classes, even when wealth is to be
her portion, is early taught to take her
part in domestic councils writes Mrs.
Burton Harrison in the Bazaar. The bust
ness of welcoming and looking after
guests, a task peculiarly fitted for the
eXerices of her gracious powers, is large
ly allotted TO her. She helps her mother
to reduce the burden of notes. letters,
applications for help and money that
every days mail brings pouring in to

answers invitations, gives hints as TO. the

remembers what dishes papa" likes and

making herself comrade of nursery and

her they will carry worries and conf

They had correspondent for some time, a
mutual friend who was something of a
matchmaker having brought this about
says the New York Telegraph.
She was young and beautiful and all
his fancy painted her. but she was much
disappointed in his appearance. so much
so that when he appeared before her, hav-
ing proposed and been accepted by letter
and the marriage day fixed, she frankly
told him that although she married him
she was not in love with him. Their
married life was long and happy, and the
loss of his wife was a blow which he did
not long survive.

Puttkammer the second time he kissed

watkins Up Stairs.

A physician who declared that few
people knew how to walk up stairs
properly was asked to describe how 1t
should be done. He said: Usually q
person will tread on the ball of the
foot In taking each step. This is very
etiresome and wearing on the muscles,
as 1t throws the entire suspended
weight Of the body on the muscles Of
the legs and feet. You should in walk
ing or climbing stairs seek for the most
equal distribution of the body's weight
possible.
"In walking up stairs your feet
should be placed squarely down on the
step, heel and oil, and then the work
should be performed slowly and de-
llberately. In this way there is no
strain upon any particular muscle, but
each one is doing its duty in natural
manner. The woman who goes up
stairs with q spring is no philosopher,
or at least she is not making a proper
use of her reasoning faculties.
1.-THE habit, too, Of bending over half
double when ascending flight Of
stairs is exceeding reprehensible. In
any exertion of this kind, when the
heart is naturally excited to a more
rapid action, 1t is desirable that the
lungs should have full play. The
crouching position interferes with
their action, the blood is imperfectly
aerated, and there is trouble Mt once.
Give the lungs chance to do their
work everywhere and at all times."-

1mproy,neu DAIRY Rooms.

Improving 0aiIy 0OOmb.
Modern and improved methods of
butter making cannot be successfully
carried out unless the surroundings are
suitable. Ventilation and GOODNESS are
two of the prime requisites for a dairy
room, and its architecture must be
planned accordingly. know an out
of door cellar laid up with stone in
mortar and with cement floor, that
keeps cool in hot weather without the
employment of ice. 1t is kept we'll
ventilated by screened windows, no veg.
tables are allowed to be stored therein,
and tool house possessing double
floor was erected overhead.
If your dairy house or room sets
wholly above ground, other means
must be taken to keep it cool. Even
should the Swedish method or hand
separator be employed, temperature
of go degrees or below ought to be
maintained in the room. In the ab-
sence of ice or running water, the floor
and walls may be sprinkled several
times daily with cold water
fresh from the we'll. Double walls, to-
gether with window shutters will do
much to exclude outside heat. The
building should be shaded, either by an
other and larger structure, or by trees.
A little dairy house may be set in q
grove of trees to great advantage

Last fall we were told If the republi-
can policy in the Philippines was en-.
dorsed by the election of Governor
Shaw, that Immediately after the elec-
ton the natives would lay down their
arms and every evidence of hostility
and opposition would be wiped out.
Shaw was elected by one of the largest
majorities ever given q candidate for
governor, but instead of laying down
their arms the Filipinos are fighting
harder than ever. Last week, as told
by the press representatives in the
Philippines, was the "bloodiest of the
war;" hundreds of the Filipinos being
shot, while many of the American boys
were laid away under the Philippine
sod. The natives evidently are deter.
mined to continue the fighting until
every patriot is either killed or cap
tured. We are now told by the dis
patches that both the Filipinos and
Americans are engaged in burning
towns and destroying the country, SO
that when American authority is finally
extended over the island it will be over
q barren waste. More troops are
needed to conquer and hold the coun-
try and 1t will be years before an
American can travel over the island
with any degree of security. The
natives will hate us with an undying
hate the same as they have done the
Spsniards for generations and in the
end what have we accomplished Moth
ing but placed ourselves on par with

Food Injurious to Butter.

In the spring and summer COWS " i'll
often wander into low fields and swamps
and eat weeds and wild plants that
affect the taste of the butter, says E.
p. Smith in the American Cultivator.
There is sometimes strong odor to it
and again decidedly bitter taste. This
is first noticeable in the milk and cream
and the process of churning does not
eliminate the trouble. The only sure
way to prevent such odors and disa-
greeable taste in the butter in summer
is toroot out all weeds and noxious
plants from the pasture. If the latter
is in q run down condition, where weeds
thrive end grass dies, it will be pretty
hard to make the food of the COWS good
enough to produce excellent milk and
cream. 1t will pay better in such
cases to rent more and better pasture
fields and SOW the old one with new
seed and fertilize it well. Most tainted
and bitter summer butter comes from
farms where the COWS are pastured on
wornout grassfields.
