MORE BRITISH TROUBLES.
The Mahsuds of India Are Growing
Aggressive Again

New York. Dec. 9.-The present oper-
atoms against the Mahsuds on the
northwest frontier of India, are attribu-
ted partly to the partial failure of the
British blockade, which was intended to
enforce the payment of fines for tribal
raids and outrages, and partly to the
growing aggreSSiVeneSS of the tribes
men themselves, says a London dis
patch to the Tribune, in explanation of
recent reports from India. Taking the
Waziri campaigns of the last 40 years
there have been probably more losses to
the British than to the tribesmen. The
Indian government is reluctant to initi-
ate operations on a large scale. and the
Bombay correspondent of the Mail fears
that if the recent humiliation of a par
ty of troops is left UNPUBLISHED there
may be trouble elsewhere.

TESTING THE HERD.
Only Way the Dairyman Can Wee

Only Way the Dairyman Can Weed
 Out NonpayinE Cows.
 The University creamery at Madison, Wis, has been conducting practical tests of the milking qualities of the cows in the herds of the dairymen who supply milk to the University cream cry. In a recent circular 1t said:
 "The University creamery has been testing the milk of cows owned by pa- irons for the past three years. A box of sample bottles it sent to each farm where testing is desired, and the milk of each COW in the herd Is weighed and sampled once In two weeks. These small samples of milk are returned to the creamery In the box, and each sam pie is tested. A record of the weights and the tests Is made in book which is sent back to the patron. and he can then see how well some of his cows are doing and what a poor showing others make.
 Nearly every herd we have tested has proved that some of the cows pro- duce butter enough to pay handsome profit to the owner, while others that require the same feed, care and time spent in milking do not make butter enough to pay for the feed they eat. The owner is often working farm and supporting few cows as boarders that do not pay their board.
 "One man who kept 12 cows got more money for the milk of three cows than he did for the milk of the other nine put together"

The Lemon.

The lemon contains various acids, citric acid among them, with citrate of potash, and these acids oxidize in the blood into carbonates of potash and carbonic acid. AS scurvy Is believed to be due to lack of potash salts in the blood, we see how substances like lem ons, potatoes and fresh vegetables gen. erally act as preventives of the ail- ment. Also in rheumatism, in which it Is desirable to maintain the alkaline character of the blood, lemons arc of service. Beyond this l do not think anybody can vaunt the properties of the fruit. A healthy person has no more need of lemons than of, say, tea, for his ordinary food will supply him with all that Is necessary for the maintenance of a sound body. People who talk about lemons as good for the liver" and so forth, found their belief rather on faith than on knowledge London Chronicle.

 'Take gallon of strawberries and put them into a pint of aqua vitm (brandy). Let them stand so four or five days. Strain them gently out and sweeten the water as you please with fine sugar or else with perfume"
 Queen Elizabeth was exceedingly fond of perfumes, and, according to this old book, her favorite scent was made in this manner: "Take eight spoonfuls of compound water, the weight of twopence In fine powdered sugar and boil 1t on hot embers or coals softly. Add half an ounce of sweet marjoram, dry 1t in the sun, the weight of twopence of powdered benjamin (benzoinO. This perfume Is very good and sweet for the time."
