An Offensive Weapon.

On every rainy day the umbrella
shows of what 1t is capable in careless
hands. Few know how to carry this
useful article in manner conducive
to peace. Why Is it that the big, tall
man who is passing one on the street
draws his umbrella down as close to
his head as possible and allows one, if
she is tiny little woman, to stand on
her toes and stretch her arm to the
breaking point in order to pass the
dripping article he carries over him?
Why is it, one is also impelled to ask,
that man in a car unhesitatingly rests
his umbrella against the knee Of the
feminine creature next to him, or so
poises it that brown drops from its
surface fall into the shoe of his neigh
Dor?
The etiquette of the umbrella seems
comparatively unknown to humanity
at large. Perhaps there isn't any writ
ten etiquette on the subject, and that's
the reason that certain persons passing
each other raise their umbrellas high
above their heads at the same moment,
lower them again and then stand and
stare foolishly at each other until one
or the other has presence of mind to fit
by, carrying his reversed like banner
An umbrella in the hands of the ab-
sent-minded is really dangerous weap-
on; at least that is what one young
woman recently declared; but then she
had just had an unhappy experience,
for careless mortal standing beside
her under an awning had closed his
with so much force that her new rainy
day suit, her gray hat and fluffy white
silk collar were literally besprinkled
and would have to be renovated by a
cleaner.
Perhaps some day a practical Ameri
can will open little school and give
lessons IN umbrella carrying, opening
and shutting. Then We'll feel much
safer when the raindrops fall.

Frail Human Nature.

"The many schemes to which people

of course, that the man intended pay

How to Hang a Gate.

1 opened a gate to-day which was
back-breaker. 1t was sixteen feet long
and six-board high, with braces. The
owner is aDundantly able to have gates
on hinges. Every gate on my farm,
used to any extent, swings on hinges.
The post to which the gate is hung
should be large. At the bottom
should be spiked two pieces of scant-
ling two feet long. The hole should
be four feet deep. The dirt should be
tamped in thoroughly from the bottom
to top. A gate hung to such post will
never sag. The post will not yield a
particle. 1t is a pleasure to go in and
out at such a gate. A child can open
and shut it with ease, nor will it break
the matron's back to open and shut it
when she finds it necessary, as all
farmers matrons will find it once in a
while; at least, mine has and doubtless
will more than once in the future.
Hinges do not cost much and little
extra labor won't kill.-Twentieth Cen

1t is asserted that the renovated or
process butter can be readily and sure
ly detected by placing a small piece on
glass plate and pressing it to a thin
film with a cover glass. 1t gives out a
mottled appearance of blue and yellow
under a microscope with selenite
plate, while with butter freshly made
there was only plain blue appearance
The yellow appearance was due to fat
crystals formed by heating and cooling
during the renovating process. Normal
butter has no crystals. Oleomargarine
shows the crystallized appearance even
more plainly than the renovated but
ter, which is due to the lard and tallow
in it, as those substances crystalline
easily. Out of over $50 samples of
alleged butter tested in this way SO
showed signs by crystallization of hav-
ing been melted and cooled again, and
most of these they were able to trace
back to the renovating factories.
While other tests were used on some of
the samples this seems to be the most
reliable.-American Cultivator.

MADE A SLIGHT MISTAKE.

White Ribbons Do Not Mean the Same
1h ing in All Places.
During the recent convention of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
in this city members of the reception
committee were on duty at the rail-
road passenger stations for the purpose
OF according proper welcome to in
coming delegates. Among those as
signed to the work at the Pennsylvania
depot was a particularly attractive
young woman, who was ambitious as
she was inexperienced as regards the
work of greeting strangers.
A train rolled in, and as the pas
sengers alighted therefrom the attrac-
tive young woman was all in a fiutter.
She scanned the stream of humanity
as it filed through the big gate and at
length espied well-dressed gentleman,
who not only wore a silk hat but also
white ribbon attached to the lapel
of his coat. The attractive young wo-
man rushed to meet the well-dressed

so SlaQ TO see you, she exclaimed.
Come right along and 1 will conduct
you to comfortable quarters
The wearer of the silk hat and the
white ribbon was rendered speechless
for moment. He finally managed to
gasp:
BEG pardon, miss, but isn't this a
mistaken"
Cant be a mistake the attractive
young woman hurriedly declared. You
see, We both wear the white ribbon"
"And what does yours representa-
the stranger then wanted to know.

About the Horse.


To the ordinary mind the hair of the
horse would seem to be strongly 'con-
ducive to healthy skin" Other writers
say that 'horse-clipping is a sanitary
measure, as a long, heavy coat Of
shaggy hair cannot be conducive to
healthy skin" 1t is beyond doubt that
horses regularly clipped are subject to
a number of ills that do not affect un-
clipped horses so generally or so seri-
ously. Nature may be trusted in the
matter of fitting to each animal its COW
ering. The horses coat is his entire
wardrobe. His hair protects him in
both summer and winter. If the hair
should be clipped from horses, why
should not the feathers be stripped
or clipped from birds, the shells from
turtles, and the hair and wool from all
animals? What did nature intend,
then, when she developed the horse
and put upon him his hair tail and
name? Who ever saw or. heard of a
diseased or unhealthy skin in a herd
Of wild horses? Removal of the natu-
raj coat must necessarily affect the
horses power to stand sudden chills
when heated, or quick heating when
he finds himself out in the hot sun, or
radiation Of warmth, or evaporation Of
perspiration.
Queer ideas are the order of the day
in the horse world. For example. some
horse writer's insist that the working
horse should go unshod. In soft and
stoneless dirt horse might 60 unshod
and do considerable work, but in stony
localities the hoofs of unshod horses
would simply be broken and splintered
up to the quick.-The Farmers Voice.

A comfortable hen is generally Q

Remember that thoroughbred male

Before saying that poultry on the
farm doesn't pay, think twice.
A fat hen will cover eggs some bet

she will produce more feverish heat.

terest of poultry it was decided that
90 per cent is about an average hatch

The fowl that is ''stunted" at any
time while young never becomes the

who knowingly sells poor eggs will
also be judged by his fruit.-Farmers'

Cabbape for C>ows.

A report received at the Department
of Agriculture discusses the feeding
of cabbages and cabbage leaves to
milch cows. Cabbages are usually con-
demned as COW feed owing to their al
legged effect on the flavor of the milk.
A test made showed that the milk of
cows fed on cabbages directly after
milking was untainted. In a report
of the New Zealand Department of
Agriculture it is stated that forty tons
to fifty tons of cabbages per acre have
been grown at the experimental farm
and fed to cows with most satisfactory
results. Up to twenty pounds was CIV
en- to each COW night and morning, with
the result that the increase of butter
averaged one pound per COW.

the Bigler-DeGauze wedding party,
while the fourth in the lower tier was
occupied by Mrs. Fitz Doodle, it being

of the score were somewhat outclassed

Weed Out Cow Roarders-

There are two varieties of cows, says
the American Agriculturist, the COW
that gives more than she eats and the
cow that eats more than she gives,
Which variety would you prefer in max
ing up dairy herd? Which variety do
you actually have? Now there is no
difficulty about telling the COW of one
class from the COW of the other. There
used to be, but there isn't now. The
Babcock test does it The apparatus
consists of small scale, a Babcock
test, and little gumption. By testing
each cow separately a man can soon
tell which ones are paying profit and
which are merely boarders.
