Some of the Work of
Birmingham Artists

' On Wednesday afternoon the studios Of Mrs. Rauston. Miss Robertson and J. l.. 1Titzgibbons in the Commercial club build- ing. were thrown open to visitors, and the display of works of art on exhibition showed that Birmingham is not without Its artists as well as it's commercial and in- dustrial institutions.
 Mrs Raulston's exhibit included work done by her pupils during the past five months, both in china painting and pyro- graphy. Among the pieces most admired were a vase in roses by Miss Robertson; a tankard in grapes by Mrs. $. E. Thomp- son: plaque in peoples by Miss SylVes- ter; a fish set in shells and sea weeds, and a black coffee set in dainty roses and blue and gold rococo design by Miss Nella Fay Tor; a vase in yellow roses. by Mrs. Powell; a plate in hops-also cups and saucers- by Mrs. Clapp, and a rose plaque by Mrs. Satterfield. Altogether the display was charming. The rich, soft colorings con trasted well with the soft white draperies in which the pieces were arranged. The work reflects great credit in both teacher and pupils
 Among the pieces of topographic art were a Dutch table unique in shape, the design being the fox and the grapes; chair in poppy design by Mrs. Hiden. and tablet and frame by Mrs. J. R. Wheel
 
 quite the rage in New York and Chicago much of 1t being used in the interior decor ations of beautiful homes.
 Miss Robertson showed besides her ex- cellent work in china many clever sketches from life in charcoal and water colors; also some realistic studies from still life. which attracted much attention.
 Mrs. Rauston will leave shortly for the north for a season of rest and study, and Miss Robertson will continue to occupy her studio during the summer months. Mrs Raulston expects to return and re- slime her classes early in October.
 Mfr. F'itzgibbons, whose principal work is portrait paintings, and who has many prominent citizens in canvas, paints other subjects well. The local scenery. which ar lists say is grand, has inspired MT. Fftz- gibbons to paint several scenes, one view looking from red mountain toward the city on the old dummy line, not far from Highland avenue, is a beautiful bit of spring color, the atmospheric effect being well carried out. Another, sunset from the southwest part of town, is wonderfully brilliant in color. On the north side he has made quite picture of Jonesville, showing

Los "I5uffaio" Horns

From the Anaconda (Ion.) Standard.
 The Montana Indian is something of schooner himself. He comes to town and sometimes walks all over the place with out saying a word to any one. Sometimes he brings in a few sets of polished mount ed cows horns which he sells for dollar two set. He never frequents saloons He looks into clothing store windows, but never bucks the slot machine in cigar stores. He frowns as he passes a restau- rant, but smiles while wolking through the sweet-scented alleys back of cheap board ing houses.
 In a horse trade he takes the prize, if there's one to be taken, for he was never known to get the worst of such bargain. The reason of this, however, may lie in the fact that he begins the negotiations with nothing to lose and everything to win. However, he has the reputation of a schooner.
 Where his schemes shine brightest is in the sale of polished buffalo" horns. He lives out near one of the slaughter houses on the south side and there he secures his

 "It must be remembered that this was forty-five years ago. After this the Wis consin Marine and Fire Insurance compa- ny never issued any currency. Soon af- terward MT. Smith bought the Bank Of Atlanta and the Bank of Macon, Ga, and undertook to use their circulation in the northwest. In this he failed Ghe only fail- ure of his life).
 George Smith was, among his friends, genial and companionable gentleman. He was the soul of honesty and uprightness. The generation which knew him best has passed away The extent of the wealth he left will never be known except to his heirs. He deserved it all"

buffalo" horns, all sizes, curves and con- sistencieS. He picks out a set of OK horns of symmetrical proportions, scrapes the scales off, and boils the horns in a solution of glycerine, wood ashes and water. This treatment softens the horns, so that a case- knife will easily remove all the exterior accumulation. Then the sand paper is used to give the first polish, followed by thorough rubbing with flannel cloth slightly saturated with oil. A varnish or shellac is then applied and the horns are in condition for mounting. Then the work is turned over to the squaw. who does the really artistic work. Red flannel and braids, beads sometimes, and strip here and there of buckskin, few brass-headed Jacks, and the mounted buffalo" horns are ready for the market.
 MT. Buck comes to town, and the tender- foot asks where he "ketchem buffalo horns"
 "In Yellowstone Park grunts the big buck.
 ''How much?" asks the intending pur- chaser.
 'Thue dolls" 1
 "Too muchee." !
 "No, no; chip; thue dolls, ugh!'
 The tenderfoot inspects the work and satisfies himself that they are really the horns of an almost extinct species of the majestic western animal, and he hands over the coin and walks away proudly with his prize.
 The Indian moves off down the street, turns the first corner. and disappears up an alley.

CLEANING BY STEAM.
The Only Absolutely Sure Way of
Keeping a Creamery in "a Whole
some Condition.

A Canadian dairy Instructor says:
| am sorry to say that the creameries
of Canada are not being improved as
much as they should be, particularly
in the way of equipment and sanita-
ton, or in providing suitable store
rooms which can be held at low tenn
perature for storing the butter in. A
great number of the summer creamer-
les are being run on the cream gather
ing system. This necessitates an
abundant supply of cold water which
is oftentimes allowed to run over the
floor, or in open cutters, and has a
tendency to keep the room damp and
prevent the churn and butter worker
from becoming dry, and the result is
that they soon become foul smelling.
The remedy for this is to conduct the
water away in pipes, and also attach a
hose and a steampipe. After the
churn is thoroughly washed, close the
lid and insert the end of the hose in
the buttermiik outlet, and then steam
thoroughly for 20 minutes. The in
tense heat will destroy all germ life,
and leave the churn dry and clean.
This is also an excellent device for
steaming the butter worker and uten-
sis, and also the cans or tanks used
in drawing the cream.

be heard three or four miles. 1t is not
roar or howl, but more like terrific
human YELL prolonged into scream.
He never found out whether this call
was intended to frighten an intruder
or to collect. his family for migration.
1t was always sounded between two
and four in the morning, and if the
animal happened to be close to his cage
it made his blood runcold.
Gorilsas walk on all ifours and have
not a ferocious look. They are good
climbers, but spend most of the time
on the ground. The chimpanzees, on
the other hand, live mostly in trees.
They climb very much like the native
negroes in the bush, using both hands
and feet. The gorilla is not able to
stand straight on his hind legs, since
the knees turn outward. but he sits on
log or on the ground like human be-
ing-often on one foot. In captivity
he drinks from cup like man, while
the chimpanzee puts his mouth in the
friendly and initiates his eaptors, but
the gorilla is selfish and surly.
All of the East Indian islands have
numerous monkeys. In Mauritius,
which is the scene of paul and Vir-
ginia," mischievous jockos come at
night to the sugar plantations. Their
favorite time of depreciation is Sunday
afternoon, when the workmen are off
for a holiday Then the old sentinel
monkeys steal up to see if the way is
clear. With a sort of chattering CHR
rup one calls the others, who tumble
up the bank from the ravine. Such
games as they play, those young ones,
but the sentinels never relax their Wig
lance, and if harmless little lap dog
toddles down from the yeranda of the
Plantation house each mother monkey
grabs her own special baby by the leg,
throws it over her shoulder and the
whole tribe vanishes before one could
say "Jack Robinson" The sentinels
cover their retreat and finally retire in
good order like brave soldiers.
Pet monkeys are notoriously jealous
and make life burden to any other
pet animal in family. They will even
fight little dogs, and although they are
not strong. their agility in getting out
of the way and jumping on the dogs
back makes them antagonists not to b'
despised,

BRIEF DAIRY NOTES.


Remember that the milk should be
cooled as promptly as possible after
it is drawn from the COW. Cool and
aerate thoroughly, in order to prevent
the milk from retaining unpleasant
odors.
Ice water will chill and kill as well
as fill the COW, and the thoroughly
chilled COW cannot secrete milk free
ly. The dairyman who forces his
cows to drink through a hole in the
ice in winter should not expect a good
flow of milk from the cows.
The milk cows should have abun-
dant supplies of water. Milk is rs
per cent. water, and that fact shows
how necessary water is to the COWS.
Moreover, the very fact that SO mucL
water must, be drunk by the cow
indicates that the water should not
be much below the temperature OF
the cows body.
Artificial ponds are not liable to
contain pure water. Such ponds are
generally located in natural depres-
sions on the farm, and into such de-
pressions there is sure to be more
or less drainage of filthy water. II
the dairyman deems it necessary to
have such ponds, he should al least
fence them in, so that the stock can
rot turn them into filthy wal1ows and
sources of disease.-Farmers' Voice.

HAPPY LITTLE BABIES.
New York Institution Which Is
Model of Its Kind.

One of the prettiest and most COM
forting sights in New York city dur
ing the hot weather is to be seen in
the Mothers and Babies hospital, at
Lexington avenue and Fifty-second
street, where from 30 to 35 little ba-
bies are being taken care of accord
ing to the Golden Rule. AT any rate,
whether they would put it that way
at the hospital or not, it seems to a
visitor that "Do unto a baby as you
would be done by" is the true secret
of their success.
Mrs. Lucy Robinson, the head nurse
of the hospital, says there are just
three important points in the care Of
the baby-food, dress and handling.
In the first place, if the baby is
being fed from bottle, the milk
given it should always be pasteurized
and that word means, as we have
explained before, that the milk should
be put through purifying process
which was originated by a man named
Pasteur. Every two hours between
three in the morning and nine at
night the baby should have it's milk,
but during the night it should have
nothing except drink of cold water,
now and then. She says few people
seem to realize that babies get thirs-
ty, just like anyone else, and that,
unless they have plenty of water,
they are sure to be feverish and fret
full. 1t must be water that has been
boiled, though, and the bottles that
hold the baby's milk must be boiled,
too, after each usng, SO that any pos
sible germ of disease will be de-
stroyed. Then the little ones mouth
should be washed out with water that
has boracic acid in it, every two
hours; there must be two baths day
in luke warm water, and the baby
must not founder about nor get
frightened, but be carefully held in
the water few moments and then
wrapped in a soft, feecy blanket and
patted-not rubbed-until the blanket
has taken up all the moisture. Next,
a nice poWdering, all over, with corn
starch, and then some comfortable,
plain garments put on over the feet
never over the head to bother baby
and get it to crying. No stifHy

as wide as the outside of the wagon
box. Then put on short sides nailed
securely to this sloping floor, and ex-
tending forward few inches past the
sides of the box and on the outside of
it. Take out the end gate and gate
rods, put on this attachment and bore
holes to correspond with the holes in
the box and with four bolts secure it in
place. The lower cross-piece, c, should
extend out little beyond the wagon
bed on each side and come down
against it, the sloping floor resting on
the bottom of the bed an inch or two
from the back end. If desired this at
tachment can be fastened on with
stout hooks and staples instead of
with bolts.-Orange Judd Farmer.

Nutritiye Ratio in Fnad

Cows give trife more milk when
receiving some succulent food, such
as roots and ensilage, but practically
the same amount of butter or other
milk solids. We select the cheapest
foods and so mix them that the cow
gets about one pound of carbohy-
drates. If we should feed much
wider ration, that is, one that con-
tanned more carbohydrates and car
bohydrate equivalent than the
amount stated, she would gradually
lay on fat, shrink in milk, and failure
to breed would probably follow; but
when the above mentioned nutritiFe
ratio is maintained, no such difficult
ties are encountered Prof. Hacker,
in Rural World.

STORY OF TWO BOYS.
One Succeeded in Everything He Un-
dertook, the other Remained
Poor All His Life.

Of two boys with the same advantages
and equally good training, one will
succeed in life, while the other, with
out being bad, never amounts to any
thing" as the saying goes. Perhaps
the following anecGote will explain
something of the disparity in results:
A nurseryman left home for few
days on business thip. 1t was rainy
weather, and not d season for sales, but
a customer did arrive from distance,
tied up his horse, and went into the
kitchen, where two boys were crack
ing nuts.
rs Mr.. Barnes at home ?" he asked.
''No,' said Jo, the eldest, hammering
at a nut.
'When will he be back?"
Dunno. Mebbe not for week"
The youngest boy, Jim, promptly
jumped up and followed the irritated
stranger out of doors.
''The men are not here" he said, in a
bright and courteous manner. "but I
can show you the stock"
The stranger was conciliated, and
followed Jim through the nursery, e1-
amining the trees, and left his order.
"You have sold the largest bill of
the season. jim" said his father, great
ly pleased, on his return.
A few years afterward these two
boys were left by the fathers death
with but 5000 apiece. Joe bought an
acre or two near home, and, although
he worked hard, he is still poor, dis
contented man.
Jim bought an emigrant's ticket to
Colorado, hired out as a cattle driver
for couple of years, and with his
wages bought land at a dollar and a
quarter an acre, built himself house
and married. To-day his. herds are num-
bered by the. thousand, his land has
been cut up in townlp lots, and he is one
of the wealthy men the Centennial
state. a. [. laE
L might have done like Jim," said
Joe, resentfully. ''if I'd only thought in
time. There's as good stuff in me as
him. -
Joe was right. He had the same stuff
in him, but it was not developed. The
quick, wide-awake energy which
causes boy to act promptly and bold
ly in an emergency is partly natural,
but it can be inculcated by parents, and
it is worth more than any gift of ma
ture.-Golden Days.
