The EsISimo's Liver.

Does every one know in what notable
physical particulars the Eskimos who
live in the far north differ from us tenn
perate zone people: 1t will be remem-
bered that half a dozen or more Eski-
mos came to New York from the arctic
zone with one of Lieutenant Peary's
homing parties. Most of them died
presently of pneumonia, to the dis
tress and somewhat to the indignation
of the public. OF several of them care
full autopsies We're made and, not n
little to the excitement of our medical
world, it was discovered that the Eski-
mo intestine was about four feet short
er than ours is, and that his liver was
not shaped like what we have been
used to call human liver, but was
more like that OF dog. The Eskimo,
apparently, is so constructed that he
can live and thrive under such condi-
lions and on such diet as he can COM
mand at hOme.-Harper's Weekly.

A "PracticaI" Joke.

An IriShman took contract to dig
public well. When he had dug about
% feet down, he came one morning
and found it caved in-filled nearly to
the top.
Pat looked cautiously round and saw
that no one was near, then took off his
hat and coat and hung them on the
windlasS, crawled into some bushes
and waited events. In n short time
the citizens discovered that the well
had caved in, and, seeing Pats hat and
coat on the windlass, they supposed he
was at the bottom of the excavation.
Only Il few hours of brisk digging
cleared the loose earth from the well.
Just as the eager citizens had reached
the bottom and We're wondering where
the body was Pat came walking out of
the bushes and good naturally thanked
them for relieving him of Il sorry job.

laugh, which soon followed.-LordOn

THE JUDGES ADVICE.
Given TO n Man Who wnvered Re-
tween Religion and Politics.


4 well known western representa-
tive in congress, pleading an engage
ment. left Il small group of takers in
an ND town hotel lobby. and an elderly
man. whom he had introduced to the
party, made bold to tell Il story about
the departed.
Il have known him. he said, ever
since he was boy, and when he came
out Of college he was undecided wheth
err to become a lawyer and politician or
go to a theological seminary and be-
come n clergyman. He was fond of
politics and thought that with n little
law and more religion on the side he
might become great moral reformer.
You know that's the way most all very
young men feel when they undertake
politics for the first time.
However. before he had had time to
determine finally what he would do,
his friends came after him to run for
the legislature, Us he had the availa-
bility and n pretty fair amount of cash.
This brought him face to face with
the question he had been much dis
turbed over, and he went to Judge
Blank, n veteran in politics and q man
of the highest character, for assistance
in solving the problem. He stated his
case in full to the judge, and the grand
old man put his hand on the young
mans shoulder.
"AIy boy he said, as only he could
say it, 1T can't be politics and religion.
1t must be one or the other. You can't
fit yourself for heaven and for the leg
islature at the same time. and there's
no use trying. That is all can say,

THE FARMERS WIFE.
This Writer Thinks She Should Have
Great Deal Less Work and
More Reward.

The life of the average woman on
the farm is by no means one continual
round of pleasure. Her duties are null
tifarious, beginning with the early
dawn and ending-well, they never
seem to end. There are so many things
for the busy woman to do in the daily
routine on the farm. Outside of the
regular household duties which fail
to the lot of the city wife. there are
chickens. turkeys, ducks. ETC., in the
poultry line to attend to, churning and
often the milking to do. fruits in sea-
son to pick and care for. and hundreds
of little things that are calculated to
keep an ambitious woman busy. Her
earnings usually consist of what she
can make out of butter, eggs and poul.
try. 1t is comparatively rare thing
that the woman on the farm has to
draw on the resources that come from
the sac of general crops or live stock
to buy her necessities. She is expected
not only to maintain herself. but buy
many useful articles for the house out
of the products of her own individual
labors: Let us hope that the old
adage "Man's work is from sun to sun,
but woman's work is never DONE" may
some day be modified so that the ''bet-
ter half may have less work and more
reward.-Chicago Sun.

OUR CHEESE INDUSTRY.
To Make 1t Respected in Foreixn.
Countries Requires Sensible Cone
Eressional LeGislation. +

A leading cheese exporter who is
quoted in the Boston Transcript states
that the total production of cheese in
this country at the present time is fig.
ured at about 265,000,O00 pounds an
nually, and that we export about TO-
0Oo,O0O pounds of this amount. He fig
ures that the home consumption is.
about 260,oO0,00O pounds, including
about 12,000,O00 pounds of foreign
cheese that is imported. If these fig
ures are correct our exports of cheese
are very much larger than they were
last year, which are given by the treas
ury bureau of statistics at 3S,10S.753
pounds for the fiscal year Of 1899. Most
likely the Boston exporters figures are
exaggerated, but it is probable that we
shall show a considerable gain in our
exports for this year. Since the cru
SADIE that has been made against
filled cheese, our cheese has recov-
cred some of the reputation that it
lost. There is a demand for further
legislation to prevent the counterfeit
ing of well-known brands of cheese. in
order to restore the prestige ef these
different makes. Congress i~ being
urged to give our cheese-makers the
benefit of laws that will enable them
to compete with Canadian dairymen,
who have developed a large export
trade in recent years at our expense. It
is believed that with laws that guar
antee the genuineness of our cheese
products we might recover the former
high position they enjoyed in foreign
markets. It is pointed out that Amer
lean cheese is in some cases bought; by
Canadians and shipped to Great Britt
| ain as Canadian product, finding a
| ready market. Our dairymen, make
as good cheese as can be found in the
| world and should have a considera BILE
share of the foreign trade. What they
need in order to occupy more promi-
nent position is. legislation that will
convince the foreign consumer that he
is not being deceived but is buying
cheese that is exactly what it is repre-
! sented to be.-Farmers' Voice.

LOCATING HOME.
House Can BE Made Healthful
and Attractive,

In laying out c6untry homes one of
the most Important points to be we'll
guarded against is the direction from
the house Of the stables, pig pens,
cattle lots and other necessary but
bad-smelling accompaniments of the
farm. However neatly they may be
kept, there will be more or less of
unwholesome effluvia arising from
them in hot weather. AS the prevail
ing winds of the summer are from
the south and west, the proper place
for such things is to the northeast
or east of the dwelling. This will
carry the odors away from instead of
toward the: house.. A south or east
front for the premises gives a better
chance for such arrangement than
any other. In planting trees, shrub
berry, flower beds, and planning
walks and drives follow the natural
style rather than stiff, straight or
formal line Is, placing the trees and
shrubs in groups and irregular lines,
rather than in straight or geometri-
eal lines Of any kind, putting the
larger ones upon the border of the
house yard, with the smaller ones in
front of the m. This will make back
ground for the shrubbery and flowers,
giving nat tural and graceful look.
Lay the roads and walks in gentle
curves from point to point, placing
groups of trees or shrubs on the in
side of the curves, that the devia-
tions from straight lines may seem
natural and fitting. Make no gates
directly in front of the main entrance
to the dwelling. but rather slightly
to one side, from which the road or
walk should gently sweep to- the de-
sired entrance. Plant no large-grow-
ing trees, so as to. eventually shade
and shut OFT the view. A few that
will make gpod shade, such as the elm
and maple, may be set in groups or
alone WHERE they will be out of the
way, and yet sufficiently near the
house to make convenient shade.
Plant the nttive trees of the forest or
which may pc bought at little expense
rather than those which are costly,
tender and unsatisfactory.-H. r.

Keeping Old Cows in Milk,

Milk cattle, receiving Indifferent
care, age a great deal more rapidly
than others, says George f. Newell
in the American Cultivator. A cows
age. as regards milk yielding value,
should be measured not so much by
years as by care and feed. A, nat
urally good cow, if she has had rough
usage, will be played out in lacteal
sense when she is eight or nine years
old. But if she has fair showing from
her owner in the pasture and stable,
she should remain a profitable milker
for IL years, and sometimes longer.
