When Dom Pedro, then emperor of Brazil. was entertained at the White House, he had been told by confused senator that 1t would be expected that he, the emperor, should be the last of the guests to depart.
 The presidents wife. however. inform expected to follow. not precede. the royal party In leaving the house.
 The result was that no one dared to go for fear of breach of etiquette. But at o'clock In the morning a tired woman pretended Illness, and the dead lock was broken.
 Great Is etiquette. but common sense is sometimes allowable.

Rnininr nnIrY Cattle.

W. s. Carpenter, n successful Michl- gan breeder of dairy cattle. says:
 'The best performers I have raised have, as rule, when IS months to 2 years old. looked and acted great deal like steers, and nothing Is more pleas Ing to me than to have a heifer be- tween 1 and years old grow large. strong and beefy provided she carries n large paunch. I have had two that did not carry the large paunch which nevertheless put on meat and fat and then grew to good size. but were not worth 10 cents for milk cows. l am inclined to believe that until they are a year old they want to be kept in as thrifty a condition as possible. but not too fat. am inclined to believe that if allowed all the whole milk they will take they will not develop along the best lines, but do think If the feed Is warm skimmilk. oats, bran and oil meal they can have every pound they will eat"

Cows should be salted regularly or. better still. should have constant ac- cess to salt, says George E. Newell in American Cultivator.
 The practice of salting them once a will lick little salt every day if they can get 1t.
 Thus provided, they will yield more and better milk than otherwise. and will also maintain better degree of health.
 As salt provokes thirst, the milk ani- nal should have as free access to wa ter as to the saline mineral or the lat. ter will do her more harm than good
 Speaking of salt leads me to say that some failures 1T 1airy butter mak- ing have noted came about by salting the cattle and the butter out of the same barrel.
 In other words, coarse lnsoluble salt was used for the butter when only the highest and most refined grade should be employed.
 Salt that Is not soluble will not per meate the substance of butter evenly, and thus rancidity may be induced.
 Again, grains of salt in butter al- ways detract from its appearance and are inimical to even flavor. from these causes alone lowering its market value. Let me say here that there are today just as fine grades of American dairy salt produced as come from England.
 American milk cattle fed on Ameri- can grass produce butter salted with American salt that Is the peer of any on earth and is so conceded In foreign markets.
 In attaining this result. however, one must utilize the best of everything, thinking not that poor or cheap mate rial can be introduced with impunity to future quality.
 l knew a dairyman once who, in a spasm of economy (0. sought to save 90 cents by purchasing cheaper grade of salt than was his wont and later lost on his shipment of butter thereby ST.
 It was one of the most effective les sons he could have been taught in prac- tical dairylng. exempllfylng as 1t did that cheap material always produces cheap quality. When 1t comes to cheesemaklng. salt holds just as lm- portant a position as In other dairy lines-i. e.. that solubillty and purity are highly necessary.
 The relation of salt. be 1t understood, to all phases of dairylng Is a highly im- portant one. and because thls fact is so little appreciated accounts for many dairy failures.

be gifted with strong constitution to endure the strain. In my opinion, the best type of udder, when viewed from one side, should be well developed in front along the belly and carried up behind with a full curve, so that the entire outline of the udder will extend outside rather than inside the curve of a circle.
 The accompanying illustration rep resents too common form, where the front udder is abbreviated. so that the front teats are suspended or hung con siderably above the hind ones. This Is very inferior form.
 The front udder Is the more generally defective part. and so most score cards of dairy cattle attach a greater number of points to the front than to the hind part owing to It's natural weakness. When a COW Is standing in a natural position and she Is not too far ad- vanced In lactation and her udder Is fairly well filled with milk, then the outline of the hind part should curve up perceptibly beyond the leg toward the vulva, and the higher up the better.

CANAL TREATY SIGNED.
Com ission Reports In Favor of tn,
 Nicaragua Route.

Commission Reports In Favor of the
 Nicaragua Route.
 The new Hay-Pauncefote treaty was tigned at Washington on Monday by Secretary Hay for the United States and Lord Pauncefote. the British em bassador. for Great Britain. The points which Great Britain has conceded in the new treaty are said to be the fol lowing:
 The partnership between Great Brit ain and the United States Is dissolved. The United States is the sole guaran. tor of the neutrality of the canal Great Britain withdraws all preten- sions to any share in the control or re sponsibility. The United States has not only the right to build, but the right to fortify, the canal. This is not stated In terms, but 1t is quite as eff fectively granted by the cutting out Of the old provision forbidding this, which was the only thing that ever stood in the way of fortification. This excision meets all the objections of the late Senator Cushman K. Davis to the old treaty and gives what he fought his last fight for. All commerce passing through the canal will fare alike, and there will be no discrimination In fa- vor of American shipping. These points are the only ones of difference between the old and the new treaty.
 The report of the United States isth- milan canal commission was signed on Sunday. The report says that con- sideratiOn of all the information ob- tained with regard to the Nicaragua and Panama canal routes establishes that the former Is '.the most practica- ble and feasible route for the isthmian canal, to be under the control, manage ment and ownership of the United States"
 The estimated cost of the construc- ton of the canal by the Nicaragua route is about $20O,OOO,OO0. This is S5S,000,OO0 more than 1t will cost to complete the Panama canal, excluding the price that would have to be paid for acquiring the Panama canal con cession. While the Panama canal after completion, would be shorter than the Nicaragua canal and would have fewer locks and less curvature, en- abling a saving of twenty-one hours for the passage of ship from the At lantic to the Pacific ocean, this ad vantage is offset by the fact that the Nicaragua route Is nearer to the Unit ed States, and ship sailing between New York and San Francisco could save time by using the Nicaragua in- stead of the Panama route.
 The recommendations of the commis- sion are unanimous. There Is not a dissenting voice to their incorporation in It's final report.

Very Tired.

1t has remained for little girl to nearly, If not quite. equal a famous witticism of Leigh Hunt. Of course she spoke in childish innocence, where the English essayIst and wit used his ripened intellect.
 Hunt, in describing an exceedingly warm day, it will be remembered. spoke of it as one which tempted him to strip of his flesh and sit in his bones.
 The little girl had been romplng and running all day. Toward nlghtfall her father met her. Are you not very tired. little one7" he asked.
 "oh. not so very tired, papa" she re- piled. Then in burst of confidence she whispered. "only l do feel as though I'd like to take my legs or and carry them awhile"

Hay. Water Convenient.

Too much stress cannot be placed on the importance of plenty of pure wa ter provided conveniently for dairy cows. Fever conditions which affect the condition of the milk are too often produced by cows going too far to wa ter. Tainted milk or the fevered condi- ton of the COW that leads to tainted milk is produced in this way. Too of- ten 1t is aggravated by the presence of a dog when the udders are so full as to render every step painful.

Fast Train Dynamited.

The southwestern express on the Northern Central railway was wrecked by charge of dynamite placed under the track near the Black bridge, a short distance north of York, Pa, on Saturday. The train was running at the rate of forty-five miles an hour when the explosion occurred. The trucks under an express car and day coach were badly wrecked. It is be- lieved that the object of the perpetra- tors of the outrage was robbery.
