Random Notes.

II there has been any water standing
in the COW yard this summer it would
not be bad notion to do little ditch
ing before winter sets in.
Stanchions have their advocates ss
dairy fastenings, yet some people think
them cruel. They are safe fastenings
and render cows easier handled.
If your manure trough running be-
hind stalls empties into your manure
shed outside the barn 1t will be con-
venience in saving the liquid manure.
Do not buy q COW with q vicious
disposition. She will transmit her bad
qualities to offspring, in addition to any
damage she may cause individually.
Sunshine is the best known germi-
eide. Scald the milk things thoroughly
and set them where the sun can get a
fair chance at the germs and they will
soon be killed.
Success in dairying comes from CON
stent study of the new things and stor.
ing them up in the mind for future use
and discarding old methods % the
changes of time require.
Individual performance beats pedi.
gree Pedigree may Indicate q good IN,
dividual, but II pedigree is all the COW
has th.se af~-s=.s .st. .hst III H51cn!d hs;

easiest is to tear down good herd.
good COW for which you pay = GOOD

Royal BAD Language.

The Pail Mall Gazette says 1t still
remains mystery how the chief Eng
lish authorities in church and state
ever succeeded in crowning King
George !. Having come fresh from his
native Hanover, the first monarch Of
the Brunswick dynasty was to his ne'%
subjects little better than a Melanesian
from the south seas. Not a word OF
English could he muster, while the
chief officials were almost equally ig-
norant Of German. Latin, therefore,
had to- be resorted to as being the one
possible medium of communication be-
tween them. A highly popular joke
originated from these singular pro
ceedings, which stated that an i'm
mcnse amount Of bad language had
passed between the king and his min.
listers on the great day.

WHAT WISDOM DENIED US.
The Most Fatal GIf, That Could b,
Conferred IN MnnLivd

The Most Fatal GIf, That Could BE
Conferred on Mankind.
Granted the power to do it, which
would be the most fatal gift that could
be conferred ON mankind?
Omnipotence without omniscience
An omnipotent man, with the best of
intentions toward his kind, could cas-
lily wreck the universe and probably
would, since, unless he knew every
thing. he would infallibly make some
mistake which could not fail to have
very terrible consequences. Next to
this would be the power of foreseeing
events This would eliminate the great
est factor IN human happiness, because
the man who could foresee everything
would have no hope. He would not
only know his own fate, but that of all
other human beings and also all their
feelings and intentions, which, of itself
alone, would make society impossible.
Equally terrible would be the power
of prolonging life at will, since no man
or woman would willingly die SO long
us life remained even tolerable. This
is proved by the shocking conditions
| under which people now consent to
live. The race would probably con-
tinue to multiply indefinitely until all
the habitable portions of the globe be
came overcrowded. Then would COM
mence a struggle for existence which
no human imagination could portray.
War would be an impossibility, since
l.; n
wish to die, and humanity would reach
some inconceivable climax of misery
from which nothing but the interven.
ton of higher power could possibly
release it.-Pearson's Weekly.

II Satisfied Lincoln.

Among Lincoln's callers one morning
in 1862 was stranger seeking both
personal and official assistance from
the president and who brought with
him some letters lauding his loyalty
that bore the signature of former
governor Of Maryland. Lincoln received
the stranger with some warmth that
was not chilled even when one Of the
attaches, who had overheard the con-
versation, interrupted to explain that
the signature must have been forged,
for the reason that the Marylander
mentioned had been dead several years.
The stranger showed guilt in every fea-
ture, but Lincoln, suffused with that
pity for the luckless that was ever his,
cheerily observed:
"Oh, never mind that-never mind it!
This is far more interesting. would
rather get letter from dead man
than from live one any dayv'-Phila-
delphia Times.

The giving Of TIPS.

Tips were always out of harmony
with the independence and self respect
of true Americans. Good pay for good
work, with no unearned gratuities, in
hotels, restaurants and everywhere else
should be the custom. Tips are degrad-
ing both to givers and receivers, and
the whole system of tipping is unsound
and inexcusable. 1t cannot endure.
No club of any real distinction and
importance permits the giving of tips
within its Jurisdiction, and the prac-
tice Of distributing gifts for services
which have been amply and even gen
erously remunerated has no basis
which is wise and wholesome. Never
yet has there been an argument in
apology for this abuse which was
worth n moments consideration.-New
York Tribune.

Paying the Premium.

Some few months ago young ma-
stroa telephoned to one of the young
men she knew, who is connected with
a large insurance firm, asking him to
write policy covering her new house
hold effects.
Don't tell Dick" she asked. II want
to surprise him. He really thinks
have no business head at ALL
The young man assented and issued
the policy. He waited u considerable
time for the payment of the premium.
His friendship for the young woman
caused him to resist sending the bill,
but he finally did SO. The recipient
scomnlained bitterly to an acquaintance,
who is considerable OF a wag, and he
readily encouraged her In her ideas.
"Now, really" she said, wrinkling
her pretty brows, this bit Of paper
costs next to nothing. ccnld have
written 1t myself. -

W she suggested, "let them de-
