CHARACTER IN LETTERS.
CareIessncss in Correspondence La

parent.

A letter may be ELUSIVE in words Oh
regard, but shop-worn paper, pale ink
and sloyenly, illegible handwriting will
speak much louder of carelessness and
discourtesy; just as carefully selected
paper, black ink and clear handwrit-
ing convey an impression of the courte-
sy, good breeding and refinement of the
writer. The dotting of an i, crossing of
t, a careful punctuation mark, or
stamp placed evenly and correctly may
be trifies in themselves, but they speak
volumes for the faithfulness and
thoughtfulness of the correspondent,
says Frances Bennett Galloway, in
Ledger Monthly.
A young girl who received misera-
bly, scrawled note from her sweetheart,
asked herself with some forebodings:
''Can L trust my happiness with a
man who writes like that?'
The handsome young lover, however,
was more persuasive with eyes and lips
than with his pen, and the girl finally
married him. The wife endured many
discomforts and veXations from the
heedlessness and thoughtlessness of
her husband, and often remembered
the warning which had been given her
in his love letters.
A reverse story is that of a beauty
whose betrothed adored her until his
absence required some correspondence,
when her scribbly, slovenly, heartless
letters wrought a complete disillusion,
and the friendship was broken.
II tool, no pains with my letters, for
r 4 y T. 4 loI % Ell
"And now 1 would give the world to
have him back"
But it was too late. The impression
of her character sent forth in those
careless letters could never be recalled.
It helps one in misunderstanding to
avoid even an appearance of weakness,
as, for example, profuse apologies,
which are so often insincere, and usual
ly indicate some defect in the writer's
character, such as Incidence, subtle
conceit or affectation.
A long, rambling, confused letter re-
veals weakness either mentally or
physically, because it shows that the
writer lacks the power to concentrate
his thoughts. The man who has the
strength and firmness of character to
collect his thoughts and send them out
with plain directness is the man who
prevails in speech, either written or
spoken.
Fine, flowery rhetoric. like vulgar
display in dress, springs from ignor-
ance and lack of training. and gives the
impression of vanity and insincerity.
Simple sincerity is great charm in let
ter-writing, and we can all be simply
and sincerely true.
Fretfulness. melancholy and fault
finding should be avoided in letter-writ
ing, if for no other reason than that
they portray the writer's selfishness
and weakness. In brightness and good
cheer, in the determination to look for
light and not darkness, is revealed the
strongest character, and it is the
bright, cheerful letter-writers who are
a spiritual power and force in the
world to-day.

KEEPING MILK PURE.
The Only Way to Do 1t Is to Remove
the Fluid from the Stable as
Quickly as Possible.

We have no conception as to how
long a time it will require for science
and experiment to destroy the foolish
belief that warm milk will not absorb
odors. 1t is to be regretted, however,
that such an opinion exists, for it is
the cause of the contamination of large
quantities of milk. AS the result of
some experiments, conducted by the
writer, it was demonstrated that warm
milk was even more susceptible to the
absorption of odors than cold milk
was. The samples of warm milk that
were used were more fully charged
with the odor of manure than the SAM
pies of cold milk were. and all the sam
Piles were exposed under precisely the
same conditions. In other experiments,
conducted at one of our experiment
stations, it was observed that fresh
cow urine tainted the warm milk much
more quickly, and to higher degree.
than it did milk that was in a cold
condition.
1t would appear that enough has
been done on this line to put dairy
men on their guard and to convince
all that instead of warm milk throwing
off odors, it absorbs them. At all events,
we have the right to expect that the
dairyman will endeavor to avoid dam
ger, and remove the milk from the
stable at once. 1t is not much trouble
to do this; and it should not be forgot
ten that even in the very cleanest
stables there are odors that will not
help the flavor of milk. 1t is absolutely
impossible to keep stable clean
enough to prevent some odors, and
that would be true if the milking were
done in the parlor, for the cow herself
is the source of odor, more or less dis
tinct, and is liable at any time to Gre
ate very destructive odors. Keep on
the safe side, and remove the milk

I have for my 4x5 camera, is suitab
for the level and will cost about S5
cents, but as good a one can be made
by saving thin board into round or
oetagon shape, six inches to one foot
across, and attaching three legs of

hinges, three-inch size, screwed to
board. Put a A-inch bolt in center of
tripod-head for level to revolve around.
The cut (A) shows this tripod-head

To use the instrument is very simple.
The tripod is first set up so that the top

SUSPICION ON THE CASHIER.
Trick of SIeight-of-Hand Man
That Got n Western Banker
Into Trouble.

"The funniest experience ever had, !"
said the old magician, who was in a
reminiscent mood, relates the Detroit
Free Press, happened a good many
years ago while l was making tour of
the far west. 1t so happened that
was the first Straightforward performer
to visit that part of the country, and l
simply coined money. One night while
showing in little town 1 had need of
a man on the stage, so walking down
into the audience / asked for some one
to be kind enough to assist me. There
appeared to be general hesitancy to
accept the invitation. but at last par
ty, being urged on by several in the
audience went forward with me.
Now said L when / had him on
the stage, kindly lend me 500
"I haven't got it, he answered.
"'Well, no matter said 1, Il think
can find it.
''With that pretended to draw SIC
gold piece from his hair. Then with
out stopping drew a bill from his nose
took another one from each ear
reached down under his collar and pro.
duced handful of gold coin-I was
flush in those days-and then rapidly
produced bills and coins from all over
his person. Before / was half through
with him | became aware that a COM
motion was going on in the audience,
and L laid it to the sensation that my
act was creating, my back being turned
to them. When l was through l turned
to the spectators with smile and was
thunderstruck to discover that the hall
was vacant, the only persons remaining
being myself and the man I had on the
stage with me. A minute later the
manager of the hall rushed in and
shouted:
Jim, you'd better skip! There's
howlin' mob around the bank and some
of them are lookin' fer rope!'
1T turned out that Jim was the cash
ier of the only bank in the place. and
his fellow townsmen had viewed with
suspicion the amount of money that he
had concealed about him."

GOOD ROADS pLANKs.
Republicans and Democrats VIII BE
Asked to Insert Them in Their
National Platforms.

Wheelmen, through their national
organization, the League of American
Wheelmen, are to be factors in the ma
tional republican and democratic con-
ventions. The officers of the organiza-
tion have decided to use every means
to secure the adoption of a good roads
plank in both platforms, and they are
sanguine of success.
The work of securing the pianks has
been entrusted to the highway i'm
provement committee, of which III. B.
Fullerton, of Brooklyn, is chairman.
This committee has among its MEM
bers the most experienced good roads
workers in the country. They are men
of influence and will have no trouble
in securing an audience with the party
leaders.
The decision of the L. A. w. in this
undertaking is directly in line with it's
policy to nationalize the good roads
movement. Previous to the beginning
of this year the work of the league has
been confined to municipal, county and
state agitation. The dignity of ma
tional movement was reached with
the introduction of the bill in con-
gress, by Senator Penrose, of Pennsyl-
vania, in behalf of the L. A. w., asking
fo- an appropriation of $5OOO,OOO for
highway improvement. The insertion
of the planks in the party platforms
will further dignity the good roads
movement as being of national impor-
tance.
The League of American Wheelmen
nnntnn6S an6 inSflu II that
there are very few matters of more
vital Importance to the entire coun-
try than the one of good roads. When
a government official, instructed to in
vestigate the economical side of the
question. reports there is an annual
loss of $500. 600, 900 to the country be-
cause of bad roads, it certainly ap-
pears the matter is worthy of the Sc
rious attention of the political parties
and congress.
The L. A. w. has been very success
full in persuading agriculturists of the
economy of improved highways. and
there are some of the strongest farm
ers' organizations in the country now
working in sympathy with the wheel
men. These will be asked to lend their
aid to the request for the platforms
and will be potent factors in the re-
suits.
In past undertakings the L. A. W.
has accomplished many difficult tasks
in behalf of wheelmen, and it will in
this case, if necessary. show its full
strength; but it is not believed this
will be necessary in proposition OF
such evident value.

Obtains Injunction in Case Involving
Stimulation of Labels.
Brent Good, president of the Carter
Medicine Company, yesterday received
telegram from his lawyers in Chi
cago, informing him that final in
junction. with costs, had been granted
against the Chicago Label and Box
Company. This company makes spe-
cialty of manufacturing labels, boxes,
etc., for druggists. The Carter Com
pany has been following them through
the courts for two years on the COM
plant that the label company was
making stimulation of the labels of
Carter's Little Liver Pills. They have
now obtained final Injunction, with
costs, and the costs are very large, as
the case has been submitted to Mas
ter in Chancery for final accounting.

been the first and only one to prosecute
printers or engravers who have pre-
pared such labels and wrappers. It
marks new departure in infringement

HOW TO GRADE ROADS.

There are many different methods
of road grading and laying of drains,

the road and plowed through the en-
tire length / wished to grade.
plowed strip, say of one rod, on each
side of the center. and had men
enough following the plow so as to
Law down all sods that might stand on
end. When the plowing was done
used the disc harrow or pulverizer,
following it with a lever drag, then
let it lay until the following year,
when l would take the road grader
and commence where l left off, plow-
ing and working the loose dirt into
the center of the road so as to have
the center higher than the outside. I
had the grader started deep enough
SO as to work smooth, not taking
more dirt than could be handled in
good shape. / repeated this until I
had the grade as high as desired. AS
a rule the sides were about Is inches
lower than the center and by having
the grader dig about eight inches of
dirt on the sides this is obtained.
Most supervisors want to do more
work than they can finish. II my
plan is followed smooth roads all the
time will be the result. By grading
the road this way there will be g good
drain on either side of the wheel
track and one road or track on either
side of the drain.-Cos. Praaxie

Some Methods of Spraying.

A fine. light mist is the best form of
spray for the codling moth and eating
insects where it is desirable to cover
the foliage as completely as possible
with the poison. When every part of
the plant is completely wet with these
fine drops better application of the
poison will be given than if the spray
ing is continued until the water runs
off the leaves. AS soon as the drops
begin to run together and off the leaves
they carry off the poison and less is
left on than if the spraying had been
stopped sooner. For scale and soft
bodied insects, particularly the for
mer. strong. driving spray that has
considerable force is wanted. For
scale the harder the stream and the
more freely the material is used the
more likelihood of good job.-Farm

faraway expression still in her eyes, handed
them to the conductor. The conductor was
a middle-aged man. He smiled and waited
for the young woman to come out of her

out to him with her eyes on vacancy, until
the conductor, still grinning, had to fetch
her back to earth.

The weight of Fresh MIX.

1t is generally estimated that a
quart of milk weighs two pounds. But
this is only approximate. Getting
down to a scientific basis we find that
it is safe to figure a quart at 2.15
pounds. One so-called authority re-,
duces it to finer basis than this, and
figures cubic foot of milk at 64h
pounds. A cubic foot will make 7.495
gallons, and, taking this as basis,
we have the weight of one gallon as
S6224, and carrying out the division
we have the weight of a quart, 2.156
pounds. But milk rich in cream
would weigh less than milk contain
ing little cream, for the reason that
the cream is lighter than the other
elements in the milk.-Farmers' Re-
