HOUSEHOLD.
HOUSEKEEPING AS EXERCISE.

One woman who has not a lazy
bone nor an overworked muscle in
her body was forced the past spring
to do nearly all her own houseclean-
ing. She discovered by actual exper-
1ment that two hours energetic mus
cular labor per day was all that she
could bear without suffering herself
and indirectly giving suffering to her
family. Had she been a strong wom
an this would have seemed child's
play; had she been an invalid it would
have been an impossible feat. But
belonging as she did to that great
middle class, of which each of us
knows at least a hundred representa-
/ tives, she wisely fitted her burden to
the back that was to bear it. A siren
uous life is the finest thing in the
world when accurately adapted to the
individual capacity for strenuousness.
1t might seem that this woman's
housecleaning dragged insufferably,
but although it took longer than
usual, the chief actor in its accomplish
ment grew to enjoy it SO much that
she parted from it almost with reluc-
lance. She grew stronger by the
process, for strength is gained by reg
ular exercise, kept strictly within in
dividual limitations. It is only the
well balanced who are willing to
make haste slowly. Had she flung
herself upon the work in fury OF
achievement that subsidized when
night fell, only to rise with undimin-
ished force on the morrow, she must
certainly have paid for her excuses
with fit of sickness, besides keeping
the household uncomfortable in the
meantime by the spectacle of her
cherries and preoccupied face.
1t was Becky Sharp, was it not, who
maintained that she had to be a
mother to herself. I wish that in the
best sense every woman could be in
duced to be mother to herself. She
would not wish her daughter to work
herself to the verge of nervous pros
tration, or to lose all her lightness of
spirit and brightness of visage through
devotion to arduous labor. Why will
she not be mother to herself? She
would not cloud her daughters young
days by exacting the rigid accomplish
ment of innumerable tasks. Why
should she cloud her own middle. aged
days by precisely that unreasonable
exaction? Let her be a good, merci-
full, sensible mother to herself.-Good

OUR FARMERS.
SOUR CREAM TESTS.

1t is not an uncommon practice for
creamery patrons who own hand
separators to deliver their cream but
orce in two to four days, Or for cream
cries practicing the cream gathering
system TO collect but two or three
times week. The cream which thus
accumulates is often kept without
attempt at cooling and becomes more
or less sour. It is we'll understood
that cream which has partly soured
in the hands OF the producer is less
apt to make high grade of butter
than is cream which is kept cold and
reaches the factory in sweet condi-
ton. The producer, however, fire.
quently argues that it does not make
any particular difference to his pocket
The Vermont Experiment Station
officers say that there is not only a
chance that the sour cream may in ure
the entire lot of butter, but there is
almost certain to be direct financial
loss to the dairyman in another way.
It is difficult and almost impossible
to sample sour cream accurately, and
it is difficult for the creamery receiv-
ing it to test it properly. Gas bubbles
and increased viscosity or gumminess
are at the bottom Of the trouble. The
error of sampling and testing will
nine times out Of ten be in the direc-
ton Of a low result In other words
the creamery patron who keeps and
delivers his cream in a sweet condi-
ton will ordinarily get higher test
and larger check than he who allows
his cream to sour, even though both
creams be really Of exactly the same
grade. The chances are always in
favor Of an inaccurate test. Tt is
doubtful whether it is wise to urge a
creamery to make any special efforts
to test sour cream properly. It ought
not in the first place to receive it, and,
in the second place, if the patrons
cannot see how much it is to their in
terests, as well as to the interests of
the creamery, to keep the cream
sweet, an indirect fine may be laid
upon them in this way by giving them
the low test which sour cream is like
~ to receive

Washington Note.

The suspense of the past week is
ended. President Mckinley is dead.
And yet, though the flags are at half
mast and the colors, draped every
where as visible signs Of mourning,
there is somehow an air of unreality
about the whole thing. Perhaps not
until the day OF the state funeral will
Washington fully realize that the ia
mitiar and genial presence of William
Mckinley has vanished forever from
its streets. 1t may be that the actual
realization of the tragedy has been
less vivid here than in other cities;
for the news flashing over the wires,
has as yet scarcely etfaced the memo
ries which practically everyone in the
city has Of the dead president. He
was one of the men who seemed des
tined to 60 through life without being
overtaken by accident. His whole
career was SO natural, so orderly in
its development that his sudden TAX
ing off by the bullet of an assassin was
one Of the last things his friends had
thought OF as likely. IJ appeared far
more probable that after two terms Of
honorable service as chief magistrate
OF the nation, he would retire to his
home at Canton to enjoy peaceful
and we'll earned quiet IN his old age.
But it was not to be.

About Gloves.

If the Frenchwoman devotes more
time to one part of her toilet
than another, then it may be said
that the gloves receive that attention
The care taken with this article of
dress, perhaps, is largely responsible
for the always fresh appearance.
One should always be careful about
the length of the fingers, for nothing
spoils the appearance of a gloved
hand more quickly than fingers that
wrinkle from tip to base, showing
room to spare iR the length. Quite as
bad fault is the finger that is too
short, for then the whole hand is de-
formed. With the thumb kept out
for the last, have the fingers fitted
first and worked gently down from
the front and back. Never push the
glove down between the fingers; if
there is ever a difference in the
weight of the material it is there that
the thinnest parts are placed. The
glove as it should look on the hand
without wrinkles Gifts like a glove"
smoothly in every place, and yet per-
hitting the free use of the fingers.
Finally, in taking off the glove, never
begin at the finger ends, for that
stretches them. Turn the glove over
at the wrist and pull gently, as though
peeling it off. After the glove is re-
moved from the hand, turn it right
side out, smoothing and Strengthening
the fingers into place. Blow into the
glove gently, and then let them air
few moments, after which wrap them
in tissue paper.--Ec.

The Passing of Pilferskire.

''On the western slope of the Berk-
shire hills is small village which is
literally painted red once in every
ten Or twelve years" writes Mary Y.
Patterson in the September LADIES'
Home Journal. "Twenty five years
before the Battle of Lexington, Syl-
vanus Cunningham, a pedler of no.
tons, passed through the settlement.
His cart was upset and all his wares
thrown out in the road. The villagers
rushed to his aid, but when he took a
hasry inventory Of his stock he de-
cIared that much was missing, and
furthermore denounced the place
and said it should thenceforth be
known as 'Pilfershire' And thus it
was known until 1925, when the viii
lage fathers called meeting to take
steps toward throwing off the igno-
minious name.
GAS a substitute some one men
toned Red Rock This was met by
the objection that there were no red
rocks in the vicinity. Whereupon
shrewd old man suggested that they
could paint one. So great rock by
the roadside was given coat of deep,
rich red, and since then painting day.
which occurs about every dozen years,
has been one Of the great celebrations
in Red Rocks history. 1t was last
painted in the summer of 1899, so that
it is comparatively fresh, and the rock
itself is not particle more eternal
than the satisfaction of the villagers."

Building a SilO.

The main thing in building any silo
either of slaves or boards, is to secure
timber that is free from rotten knots
and decayed centers. Select good
lumber, and have it cut from COM
paratively old. well-matured trees.
If well seasoned timber, there will be
little likelihood of the structure warp
ing and drawing in summer when
empty.

New England Mothers To Blame.


One of the most amazing phases of
modern life is the lack of sane paren-
tai knowledge which exists on the
part of mothers in the education of
their growing daughters. 1t seems to
be impossible for some mothers clearly
to realize that a girl between the
years of ten and sixteen cannot en-
dure any mental or physical strain
without inviting the gravest possible
dangers. The cases of the grossest
neglect of the physical development
of our American girl are according to
medical statistics, traceable to New
England homes. The weight of
girls head, rather than the weight of
her body, is what most concerns the
New England mother. And the re-
suits of such training are apparent to
even the most casual observer of the
American woman. In short the New
England horse is healthier product
than is the New England girl.-LGdies'

Funeral Of Warren George Beautiful

From Sundays Daily Gazette.
The large %concourse Of people at
the home of w. B. George yesterday
afternoon attested the deep sympathy
felt with him and his wife in their
loss. The mother, completely e
hausted and too weak to descend to
the parlor, listened to the words Of
comfort from the lips Of Rev. w. p.
Clark. The remains Of little Warren
were placed in the parlor to the left
of the hall and the beautiful casket
was covered with floral gifts OF
friends. Many and beautiful were the
designs, and yet the face within the
narrow resting place seemed to vie
with the flowers in its fragile beauty
The scriptures, prayer and words Of
sympathy spoken by Rev. Stull were
followed by music from Messrs. Allen
HOLSTER, Ladbury and Settler. After
a short address by Rev. Clark, the
sad company wendell its way to the
cemetery, where the final ceremony
was performed and all that was NOR
tai OF Warren George was consigned
to its final resting place.
