THIRD DISTRICT
Narrow Escape.

Mrs. Ellen Crosby had very narrow
escape from being buried alive in Craw-
ford county. She had been pronounced
dead and preparations for the burial
were being made. While this was in
progress her daughter, 10 years old,
worn out by exhaustion, lay down to
rest, but her eyes had scarcely closed
before che sprang up and peremptorily
insisted that her mothers body be re-
turned to the bed. She remarked that
her mother had called to her in her
sleep, saying: "Mary, don't let them
bury me alivel"
The undertaken complied with the
daughters request, saying it was but a
dream, but the daughter stoutly claim
ed the contrary and would not be de-
MED. Nearly eight hours passed, when
Mrs. Crosby slowly opened her eyes and
looked at her daughter, who had re-
mained by her bedside, constantly
watching for return of life.
Mrs. Crosby is now considered in a
fair way of recovery.
We receive the above from q Denver,
(Col.) lady, and, by same mail, case in
which an East st. Louis lady barely es-
capped being embalmed, and New
Haven man In New York hospital

The large ana increasing circulation
of The Iowa Homestead in this county
is matter for congratulatiOn to the
publishers and to good farming, for, of
all the papers of Its class in the coun-
try, 1t is easily the best and most help
full. Its Special Farmers Institute
editions, issued with the regular edition
the first week in each month, have been
for years the admiration of all practi-
cal farmers. Written wholly by farm
ers, they are full of actual experience,
and smell of the soil. We have been
fortunate enough this season to secure
terms for The Homestead and its Spec
ial Farmers Institute Editions, together
with The Poultry Farmer and The
Farmers Mutual Insurance Journal,
four of the most valuable farm publi-
cations In the country, that enable us to
offer the four In connection with our
own paper for $1.9O for the entire five,
one year. This is emphatically good
thing, and no farmer in this county
should fail to take advantage of this
offer. For large line of thoroughly
practical farm reading nothing has ever
been offered before that equals Il. A.

Milking the Cow.

The farm hand who knows how to
milk properly is more valuable to the
careful dairyman than any other help.
To milk COW requires time and pa
tience. The milk should be drawn slow
ly and steadily. Some COWS have very
tender teats, and if you want we'll
disposed COW, be gentle in your treat
ment toward her. A good COW is natu.
rally impatient and does not like rough
handling.
With constant irritation any COW will
fail in quantity of milk.
AS the udder becomes filled with milk
she is anxious to be relieved of its con-
tents and will seldom offer resistance
without cause.
When patient COW becomes frac-
tious we can always trace it to the milk.
or. Make note of this.
We should not allow them to stand a
long. time waiting to be MIXED.
When cows give s-,sffgge ,,ssfgge qlrssntity Gii
milk it is very painful when the uddeI
has flied to the utmost, therefore caus-
ing them to become very nervous and
restless.
To delay milking at the proper time
will do more to cause COW to go dry
before her period than anything else.
She should also be MIXED to the last
drop, if possible, for the last portion Of
milk is the richest.

Hanna and Hvpoct tisv.

The republican party has managed to
do an extensive business with hypocrisy
as its capital. Why, therefore, should
not Senator Hanna expect to turn the
same quality to his own account?
If anybody had intimated five years
ago that Mr.. Hanna could have assum-
ed the role of q friend of labor without
setting the whole republic into a guf-
faw he would have been deemed the
victim of q violent form of insanity.
Yet We find the Ohio senator taking
that part every week nowadays and ex-
citing no particular surprise on the
part of anybody.
For twenty years the republican par
ty has had no motive save the enrich
ment of the few at the expense of the
many.
1t has had no principle but plunder.
1t has stood for nothing but injustice,
privilege and selfishness. at its head,
making its platforms, nominating its
candidates and reaping the rewards of
its iniquities has stood Mr.. Hanna, the
personifications of greed and inequality.
Since the party itself has managed
while enriching the few to secure popu-
lar approval almost beyond precedent
why should not the most offensive of
its leaders set up as friend of the
workingman? If the republican or
ganizatton, which has been wholly SUBJ
verted to the interests of the few, can
maintain the pretense that it seeks the
welfare Of all, why should not its chief
corruptionist play with success the role
of philanthropist?
The Cleveland workingmen who ap-
plaud Hanna as friend of labor are a
disgrace to American citizenship.-Chl-
cago Chronicle.

Naturally the maid upon pleasure
bent desires to look her best on all oc-
casions. 1t is the small niceties of
toilet which make the woman, and
sometimes she errs most lamentably
over these same little things. Neat
ness, cleanliness and order are the
foundation stones of good dressing.
This does not presuppose primness or
specialized severity, for even Il fluffy
girl can be orderly and neat.
1t seems almost unnecessary to tell Il
nice girl what she should do by way
of keeping herself personally attrac-
tive, and yet there are many really
nice girls who allow themselves to
drift into careless habits which tl2x

Steers as Race Steers.

While everybody is crying about the
scarcity of cattle and the high price OF
meat, new danger threatens the meat
supply. Heretofore it has always been
considered that the steer was constant
ly marching towards the slaughter
house and the meat market but now a
new and novel u.s. appears to be open
ing up to the steer. A man in Indiana
has one which he has trained to pace at
the rate of a mile in 2:24. This fleet.
footed bovine went an eighth of mile
in Is seconds. The steer is yearling
and is considered q wonder.
If this steer racing should become
general our fairs will have the 2:20, 2::3O
and maybe will get down to the 2:1C
class, and then there would be the Short.

A GIRLS CAREER.
Inte.rating Period between til
SchooIroom and the Altar.


Interrating Period between the
Schoo1room and the Altar.
When girl begins her social career
after completing her education, she
finds the world far different from
what she expected. The schoolroom
is one thing, the world another She
may have been popular with her teach
ers because she was Il diligent schol-
ar and carried off the honors of the
school, but she finds that book knowl-
edge does not make her popular or sue
cessful socially.
Some of the most intellectual people
we have known have been among the
most disagreeable. A woman whose
nature is aggressive, who parades her
knowledge before those of inferior edu-
cation, is an object to be dreaded. Mere
learning in n woman is never attrac-
tive. 1t is, on the contrary, offensive
unless coupled with feminine graces.
School learning should sink into the
character and department and only ex-
hibit itself as the perfume of flower
is eXhibited-in subtle, nameless and
unobtrusive manner.
A woman's intellectual requirements
should simply make her conversation
gracious and agreeable. Mathematics
should render her mind clear and her
judgments true. Her geographical
studies should teach her that the world
is too small for falseness to find hid
ing place, and history should impress
her that life is too short for unworthy
ambitions. The time between the
schoolroom and the altar should not be
mere harvest time of pleasure, but
a sowing time for all the seeds of kind
ness and self sacrifice for others and
of unseltishness and beneyolence which
alone can make her IL happy wife and
mother.-New York Weekly.

Laboring Men in Congress.

The entrance into politics of the
United Nine Workers in backing the
campaigns of Congressional aspirsnts
In Iowa and Indiana is by no means an
innovation. Indeed, 1t is remarkable
that no man sits IN our Congress today
as the direct representative of laborlng
men.
Monsrchic England is in this respect
very different. Joseph Arch, the farm
laborer; Burt and Abrahsms, the miners;
Burns, the dock hand; Mawdsley, the
cotton spinner, and others of their kind,
have usefully sat in Parliament. d. E.
Shsckelton, a member of the Labor par
ty, was on Friday elected to the House
of Commons without opposition, to fill
the vacancy in the seat for the Clitheroe
Division of Lancashire caused by the
elevation to the peerage of the sitting
member. These men have been sal.
sried by their respective unions to en-
able them to live as unpaid members
In London, and for the most part have
added high mental and moral qualities
to the special knowledge that makes
them valuable as legislators.
OF course far greater proportion OF
our Congressman than of British Par
liamentarians have in the past worked
with their hands for day wages. A
man like Horace Greeley was as truly
representative of labor as if elected in
Its name. But there is probably justice
In the complaint that too many of oul
legislators are lawyers by present pro
fession, and that q larger infusion Of
men direct from the e'soil, the sea, the
counting-room and the work bench
would, if well chosen, add special quail

Random Notes.

Whitewash will cover q multitude of
dirt and infection. 1t is q great disin.
fectant. 1t purifies, cleanses and makes
the quarters inviting and should be used
without stint.
Milk contains in easily digested form
the four kinds of nutrients required by
the body; namely, protein, fats, carbo-
hydrates and mineral water. 1t is one
of the cheapest foods, too.
Even the finest of strainers fail to re-
move dirt from milk as thoroughly as
it is done by separator and those
dairymen who furnish the purest and
most uniform milk always secure the
best trade.
Many farmers do not question wheth-
er they are keeping profitable COWS be-
cause they "only milk three or four to
supply the family" .On many farms
half the cows do not pay their board.
Is it true of your COWS, reader?
Careful investigation in several states
places the cost of keeping the average
farm COW at $50 to $35. In this paper
SS2 is used as an average cost. The re-
turns from dairy herd vary much sc-
cording to the skill of the dairymsn.
One weakness Of human nature is the
fact that many men will allow their
neighbors way of doing things to lead
them to do the same way when they
know it is not the best way and often
the means of bringing direct loss to
themselves. In no branch of farming is
this weakness shown more than in
dairying.
Is there any way of getting dissolved
dirt out of milk? No strainer we have
ever seen will do it. The only thing left
to do then is to keep the dirt from get
ting into the milk. The only way to
have clean milk is to be cleanly about
/ the milking. Insoluble matter may be
strained out, but that which has once
dissolved is there to stay.
In a study of dairy COWS at the Con
necticut station it was found that the
dairy type, compared with the beef type,
produced on the average per COW 1874
pounds more butter and 1874 pounds
more milk; yielded $2O.94 more profit
in butter and $1968 more in milk; pro-
duced milk at 81 cents less per hundred
and butter at 81 cents less per pound.
An Arizona bulletin reports eight
herds of COWS that averaged less than
$50 worth of milk per COW per year,
while in other herds were COWS that pro-
duced $50 to $40 worth per year, and
in two herds each numbering over forty
COWS, the average was $40 per COW per
year. What do your COWS average, and
what do they pay for the feed consum-
ed? Feed is too high to be giving it to
COWS that cannot pay for It.
1t will pay to stick to the COW and not
get excited over the price of beef. 1t
doesn't cost much more to produce q
pound of butter than pound of beef
and one sells for three times as much as
the other. 1t costs money to change
about. Dairy COWS are not adapted to
the production of beef, and the beet
COW has no business ia a profitable
dairy. Don't sacrifice good dairy COWS

Dressing For a Photograph.


A woman whose rich coloring is her
greatest beauty should be represented
in tones subservient to her vivid flesh
tints.
A girl with red gold hair is costumed
perhaps in dull brown tints, which do
not detract from the brilliancy of her
tresses. Black also is good costume
for her. In fact, nearly every woman
looks well in black. White accentu-
ates defects and is becoming only to
youthful faces.
\ middle aged woman with silvery
gray hair might be represented in a
gown of gray satin, perhaps, or of
black velvet, with a bit of white lace
somewhere about it. Dignity should
be found in every line of her figure.
