A Street Parable.

A little girl stood at a window blow
ing soap bubbles. Beneath stood a lit
tie boy, and as she blew bubbles to-
ward him he tried to catch them. They
broke and disappeared on all sides,
but the two laughed and kept up the
game, she smiling down and he gazing
upward eagerly.
Behold, parablev' said a man to
a woman. 1.-The eternal relation of the
sexes! You blow beautiful bubbles
down to us from your height, and we
weary ourselves in trying vainly to
catch them. Poor little boyp'
The pair played and laughed in the
sunshine until the boy grew tired. He
called out Goodbye gayly and ran
away to play with other boys and girls
in the street. The girl looked after him
wistfully. shadow on her face. She
did not care to blow bubbles any more.
She leaned out to watch him, and as
she did so she tipped over the bowl
Of soapy water She looked very lonely.
Behold, a parabler said the woman
to the man. He has tired of the
game; not she. There is no other little
boy to blow bubbles to. and if there
were she has no pretty bubbles left to
blow. Eternal relation of sexes! Poor
little girl" HNew York Tribune

Happy Thought of n Man I'm u Fix.

HAPPY 'ShOUSht OF q Man In n FIX.
An operator for western railroad
who had served his company long and
we'll was called into the office one day
and asked if he thought he could hold
down the job of night dispatcher. He
promptly replied that he could and was
told to report for auty that night, and
his chief instructed him in what he
was to do. Just after the chief left the
office it began to blow and snow, and
the trains commenced to run late. The
new night dispatcher soon had develop
ed a bad case Of "rattles" and almost
cried. He did not want an accident,
and he could not handle the trains. So
a happy thought struck him. AS fast
as a report came in he replied directing
the conductor to take siding and
wait for orders, and it was not a great
while until he had every train on the
division sideIacked. Then he took a
book, lighted his pipe and sat down to
wait for daylight. In the morning the
chief appeared With anxiety written all
over his face.
"Any accidents, Johnny" asked the
chief
"Not an accident I've got 'em all
on the sidetrack, showed in and wait
ing for orders, and you will have to
get 'em out. am going to blow this
job" 1t took the chief and his force
nearly all day to get the trains straight
ened out and traffic resumed on the
.-Indianapolis News.

In an ordinary herd COWS will be
found that vary considerably in their
milk yield. 1t stands to reason that a
cow giving ten pounds of milk daily
does not need the same quantity and
duality Of feed as q cow giving twenty
or thirty pounds daily, says D. III. Otis
in Kansas Farmer. The following ra-
lions indicate the amount needed daily
per head where different amounts Of
milk are produced. Where cottonseed
meal is used COWS should become ac-
customed to it gradually. Allow half

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable. For
great many yesrs doctors pronounced
1T local disease, and prescribed local
remedies; and by continually failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and, there
fore requires constitutional treatment.

Ashes on Cigars.

"Few men protesting to be judges Of
fine cigars know anything at all about
smoking them," remarked cigar deal
er. 1.-THE ashes on the end of the cigar
serve to retain the flavor and should be
permitted to remain as long as pos
sible. Then the constant humping
some smokers give their cigars in the
attempt to keep them clear. of ashes
often causes the wrappers to break.
and that also lessons the pleasure of a
good smoke"

Health aud Beauty

A poor complexion is usually the re-
suit of torpid liver or irregular action
of the bowels. Unless natures refuse is
carried off it will surely cause impure
blood. Pimples, boils and other erup-
tions will follow. This is natures
method of throwing off the poisons which
the bowels failed to remove. DeWitt's
Little Early Risers are world famous for
remedying this condition. They stimu-
late the liver and promote regular and
healthy action of the bowels but never
cause gripping, cramps or distress. Safe
pills. H. j. Stangl.

The cream should always be strained
into the churn and the butter color add
ed Immediately if color is to be used.
There should be no variation in the
speed of churning, as too fast or too
slow a speed will cause a rise in tem-
perature, resulting in too soft a butter,
says M. III. Mats in Kansas Farmer.
Churns must be ventilated a couple of
times after they start to let out gases
of fermentation, which are always pres
ent.
Be sure Of q proper churning temper
ature, as cream will sometimes pro-
duce what is known as foaming and
will nearly fill the churn. This may be
caused either by too much speed at
starting, churn too full of cream or
cream being too cold especially thin
creamy. The best remedy is to divide
the cream into two churnings and pro-
ceed at proper churning temperature.
In my experience l have found cream
after being churned for between four
and five successive hours, then given q
rest of about an hour, began to break
in ten minutes after starting the sec
ond time.
After the first stop the cream was
not apparently any nearer the breaking
point than when first started. After the
butter granules have reached the size
of a pins head" or from one-si1th to
one-eighth of an inch in diameter, the
buttermilk is drawn off and strained
through hair strainer; then water at
the temperature of 45 to 80 degrees F.,
depending on the temperature of the at
mosphere, of about the same quantity
as the buttermilk is added to the butter
and the churn revolved a few times.
Usually one washing is sufficient,
though the wash water should drain
comparatively clear The amount of
washing will depend on the size of the
butter granules and the condition the
cream is in. Both under and over ripe
cream will require more washing than
properly ripened cream. The impor-
lance of using clean and pure wash
water cannot be Overestimated.
The butter is now in a condition to
salt, and the amount to use varies
widely under different conditions. Salt
preserves butter to a certain extent
and greatly improves the taste. If salt
has been used in washing, the finished
butter will not require as much, or, IN
other words, the drier the butter the
less salt needed. From one to two
ounces Of salt per pound Of butter fat
should be used. Butter only retains
from one-half to three-fourths of the
nsalt, depending upon the condition of
the salt, which should be kept fine and
in clean place, as it absorbs odOr.
The salt does not enter the individual
butter granules or grains, but is dis
solved in the water present, and any
excess Of it promptly coheres to the
surface of the grains and is pressed
between them. Thus we see the i'm
portance of the kind and right use Of
salt.

Greeks, on down through the Romans
and the Germans, of eating on this day
a species of sacrifice cake known as
God cakes-small, triangular buns half
an inch thick and filled with mince-
meat, while the famous Boxing day,
with it's attendant custom of stephen
ing" are all through the isles the chief
event of the rural year.
Americans, in spite of the fact that
the day is less distinguished than
Christmas day. owe many of their
choicest privileges to events which
transpired on New Years day, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer. 1t was on the
list of January, 1776, that Washington
unfurled at Cambridge, Mass, the first
Federal flag, the original emblem with
thirteen stars. In 1879 the first Soci-
ETY. Of Universalists met at Gloucester,
Mass, and Major General Benjamin
Lincoln, commanding the Continental
forces in the SOUTH established his first
post at Purysbury, on the Savannah
river. In 1871 occurred the mutiny at
MOrriStOWn, n. j., the most formidable
movement Of it's kind in the military
annals Of the nation. Some 1000 of
the New Jersey troops of the line, an
gered by the repeated negligence Of
congress, grounded their arms and re-
fused to fight until some further provi-
sion could be guaranteed toward their
maintenance and pay. 1t was indeed
crisis in the conflict, as the outcome of
this bold move must either intimidate
or encourage the entire army, all of
whom were suffering from much the
same causes as their brethren from
New Jersey. General Wayne saw at
once that it was not for him to person
ally deal with this question and sent
Colonies Stewart and Butler to inter-
cede. These officers conferred with
the ringleaders at Princeton, and while
the conference was on General Clinton
sent two British officers to coax the
mutineers over to the other service.
The prompt manner in which the mill
tia handed the interlopers over to
Washington had much to do with the
speedy compliance of congress with
their just demands. 1t was a happy
turn in most embarrassing affair.
On New Years day, 1915, during the
second day of the battle below New
Orleans the British made the most
determined of their three assaults and
lost the flower of their army From
this day until 1862, from some strange
freak of fate, which seems to bunch
her important events on certain days,
few things of note occurred But in
1862, the second and most critical year
of the civil war, congress enacted some
thing which will forever be memorable
to many political economists-the sus-
pension of specie payment until further
notice. Just how such huge machine
managed to exist until New Years day,
1879, when specie payment was re-
sumed, will be matter of endless COM
ment among the economists of the flu
ture.

Dogs of Alaska.

The dogs of Alaska are called mala-
mutes. They are cross between dog
and a wolf and work in harness soon
after their birth. They do not bark,
but have peculiar howl. They have
long hair and can sleep in the open
with the thermometer 60 degrees below
zero. Their usual food is fish and seal
blubber. They are fed once day, usu-
ally at night.

as a bystander, a negro who had
previously grasped in his dusky
palm the hand OF the president. AS
one man the trio hurled themselves
upon the presidents assailant. In
a twinkling of an eye he was born to
the ground, his weapon was wrested
from his grasp and strong arms pm
toned him down.
It is said the negro struck the as
sassm and prevented another shot.
The best medical skill was sum-
moned. The president retained full
exercise OF his faculties until placed
ON the operating table and subject
ed to an anaesthetic. Upon the iirst
examination it was ascertained that
one bullet had taken effect in the
right breast just below the nipple
cousing comparatively harmless
wound. The other took effecti in the
abdomen about four inches below
the left nipple and four inches to the
left OF the naval and about on
level with it.

The assassin refuses to make a
confession, but says, although he
aid his duty, he is now glad that he
failed to take the Presidents life.

accomplices.

thing now points to the Presidents
recovery. He is resting well and
takes nourishment.
