HOW HE SPELLED CAT.

An old army surgeon who was fond
Of joke, if not perpetrated at his own
expense, relates the Chicago Trib-
une, was. one day. ut a mess when a
wag remarked to the doctor, who had
been somewhat severe in his remarks
on the literary delinquencies of
some of the officers appointed from
civil life: doctor, are you acquainted
with Capt. G.?''
Eyes, I know him WELL" replied the
doctor. "1ut what of him?''
Nothing in particular" replied the
officer. II have just received letter
from him, and wager you a case of
wine that you cannot tell in five
guesses how he spells cat"

wager"
"Well. commence guessing" said
the officer.

''No, that's not the way: try once

"C-a-g-t."
'sNo," said the wag. "that's not the
way: you've lost the bet"
"Wel1,' said the doctor, with some
petulance of manner, chow does he
spell it?''
''Why, he spells it cat replied the
wag with the utmost gravity, amid the
roars of the mess; and, almost chok-
ing with rage, the doctor sprang to
his feet, exclaiming: "Gentlemen, I
am too old to be trifed with in this

FINISHING TOUCHES.
They Help Dairymen to BALD Up a
Retail MIX Trade at Profit
able Prices.

The scrupulous neatness shown in
the care of cows; the cleanliness OF
the stalls and the milk vessels; the
practice of milking with clean, dry
hands, and discarding the first
streams drawn from each teat; the
removal of milk from the stable to
clean milk room for weighing,
straining and aeration as soon as it
is drawn; keeping the milk at q low
temperature in summer, and insuring
careful delivery of the milk or cream
in fine condition at the factory; care
full attention to the comfort of the
cow in summer as well as in winter;
to the quality, quantity and compost
ton of the cows feed and the water
supply; forethought and preparation
for an abundant supply of pasture or
soiling crops, such as will keep up the
milk flow summer and winter with
out interruption during the entire
period of lactation-these are some
of the finishing touches which dis
tinguish the work Of dairyman
from that of cow-keeper-the prac-
tice Of the thoroughbred from that
of the scrub dairyman. A well-kept
horse and an attractive wagon and
harness; a neat, intelligent and oblig-
ing delivery man; shining cans and
measures; sterilized, understanding
well-filled bottles, with the intelligent
care of the milk from COW to Gus
toner, are some Of the finishing
touches that build up retail milk
trade at paying prices and distinguish
thoroughbred dairyman from a
scrub cow-keeper and milk-peddler.
In every branch of dairy work the
profit and satisfaction is realized
from careful attention to the finish
ing touches.-Dairy and Creamery.

reason. He agreed with his two fellow councilmen.
 The question of a salary ordinance then came up, but it was learned that it had only been talked of and no ac- tion was taken. Reference was made to City Clerk Troy's resolution stating that he would accept much less than his present salary.
 In bringing up the salary proposition Councilman Keelar wanted to know il what had been created couldn't be un done Attorney Dillon stated that i, certainly could with proper amend ment.
 A little lull followed. Councilman Keelar then sprang sensation by starting the decapitation axe a-whiz. zing by motion that the night watch mans services be dispensed with. A silence followed. No second to the motion followed.
 Councilman Mayer then offered a suggestion that the Mayor appoitt a special committee to see what could be done. He believed that the officers should be retained, and that an agree ment could be entered into whereby they would not abolish the offices as Councilman Keelar had previously suggested, but reduce the salaries. A special meeting could be called for this purpose.
 It was then moved and seconded that committee of three be appointed to confer on the salaries of city officers Mayor Green then appointed Mayer Keelar and Barley.
 Keelar remonstrated, but Mayer stuck to it, saying he wanted him to stay on the committee. Keelar replied saying he was afraid some of the off cers wouldn't.
 Councilman Keelar again took the floor, and after a few pleasant intro ductory remarks made motion, which was seconded by Mayer, that at the next meeting the clerk furnish ar itemized account of all moneys re ceived, how expended, outstanding warrants, etc.
