"Walks of life? Walks of life ?" broke

talks about coming up through the

After all, when the novels are read
and the costumes duly admired or con-
demned, do we not conclude that the
true secret in making use of costume as
an end in fiction lies in following a plan
not unlike the conduct of Miss Sharp
regarding the laces and brocades which
she p%urloined during the housekeeping
time from the closets in the house of
Sir Pitt? We all remember how she
kept them well out of sight until she de-
sired a costume de cour of 'the most
elegant and brilliant description" SO
effective as to compel Lady Jane to own
sorrowfully to herself that she was quite
inferior in taste to Mrs. Becky, and
Mrs. Butte Crawley and her daughter
down in the country to give vent to
their honest indignation at the airs of
the "sandy-haired, green-eyed French
rope dancers daughter" The mistake
of the light fiction writers in regard to
costume is in not keeping clothes in the
background until the moment when only
clothes can produce the desired effect.
They make a heroine so fine for break
fast that nothing remains for a "cos-
tune de cour."-Eva A. Madden, in
Lippipcott'S,

whats on the old mans mind, !
wonder?" said the bookkeeper to the
chief clerk. HE seems to be greatly
worried about something"
81 should say he was. A young fell
low came in here, this morning, with a
new-fangled typewriting machine that
he claimed could be worked automatic
ally. There was some sort of a phono-
graphic arrangement connected with
it, and by talking into that a person
could have his words transferred by ma
chinery to paper, just as if they had
been written by the typewriter in the
ordinary way"
"Wonderful! What a saving of labor
it will bring about if the thing is prac-
ticable But what has that to do with
the old mans worried look?"
"He's afraid his wife will hear of 1t
in some way, and make him get one."-

the appearance of her teats. Many
methods can be used to prevent cows
doing this. Perhaps as good a way as
any is to put a halter upon her and
a surcingle around her just back Of
the shoulders. Then procure a stick
about three feet four inches long for
an ordinary cow-a piece of an old
fork handle makes a good one. Bore
a half inch hole through each end of
1t so a small rope or cord can be run
through it and fasten one end to
the halter ring under the chin and
the other bring between the legs to
the surcingle. She can feed with this
and have free use of her head, but
cannot reach her udder with her
nose.-C. d. Smead, V. S., in N. Y.

Select new wheat with plump ker.
nels; that which is freshly cut and well
rubbed from the chaff is best for this
purpose. Look it over carefully, wash,
and put to cook in five times its measure
of cold water. Let it come to a boil,
and cook gently until the grains burst
open, and they can be readily mashed
between the thumb and finger. This
will require from four to ten hours,
according to the age and variety of the
wheat used. Less time will be needed
If the grain is soaked over night. When
done, it should be full of a rich, thick
liquor. If necessary, add more boiling
water, but stir as little as possible

How We Feel Pain.

1t has lately been maintained by some
French Psychologists that the feeling
of pain is a special sensation apart
from those of touch, sight, etc., and
transmitted to the brain by a spe-
cial set of nerves. When a boy falls and
hurts his head, according to this view,
he has two sensations, one of contact
with the ground, transmitted to the
brain by the ordinary nerves, and one
of pain, due to the injury received,
transmitted by the pain nerves. These
sensations may not even reach the
brain at the same time; in fact, the
pain usually gets there later.-Chicago

The great vine at Hampton court
palace, which is 1874 years old, and the
main stem of which measures
4 feet in circumference, is now in full
bearing. There are altogether 700
punches of grapes on the vine, and
these will shortly be cut for use upon
the kings table. In order to rest the
vine and allow it to recuperate some
of it's strength, the authorities decid-
ed this year to reduce the crop from
1900 lunches, which it bore last year,
to 700. For this purpose nearly 1000
punches were cut off earlier in the
Year.-London Tit Bits.

The COIlegian's RetOrt.

Members of the class in Cambridge
had been rather iippant in regard to
some pompous authority, and a fellow
was e%ulogizing him. Said he: "You
are probably ignorant, young gentle
men, that the venerable person of whom
you have been speaking with such lev
ity is one of the ~profoundest scholars of
our age-indeed, it may be doubted
whether any man of u age has bathed

"In my opinion" replied the girl who
never had a hankering to forsake the
garb of femininity, "that will be in
fnitely preferable to trying to wear
the boomers over the skirts"

A story is told which would indicate
that swallows have considerable
surgical skill as we'll as intelligence.
A certain physician found in a nest a
young swallow much weaker than its
mate, which had one of it's legs ban
daged with horsehairs. Taking the
hairs away, he found that the birds
leg was broken. The next time he
visited the nest he found the leg again
ba%ndaged. He continued to observe
"the case" and in two weeks found
that the bird was cautiously removing
the hairs, a few each day. The CURE
was entirely successful.-Detroit Free

Mites In the Hen House.

If there are mites in the hen-house,
kiln them at one fell swoop. Get ten
cents worth of carbolic acid, make a
strong, hot soap suds, put half the
acid in the sprinkling pot, pour in the
hot suds and thoroughly sprinkle,
throwing the solution high up on the
walls. Do this in the morning and shut
the fowls out during the day. Two
days later clean out the house and use
the rest Of the acid in the same way.
In this way in three days the number
may be reduced from 10000, oOO, 900, or
any other number, to 0.-Midland

Remarkable Coincidence.

A remarkable coincidence occurred
some time ago at Osborne. Among
those who went down to the Isle of
Wight to receive from her majesty the
honor of knighthood were three out of
the five mayors designated in the jubi-
lee list for that distinction, namely the
mayors of Brighton, Norwich and Sal
ford. Upon arrival at the palace they
were invited to subscribe their names
in the queens birthday book, when it
was found that October Is was the
birthday of all three.-N. Y. Sun,

lin. The Teuton philatelist paid for

sum of $4,000, and Thought it cheap"

Prof. Roentgen, the discoverer of the

would present if they could be rendered

appearance would be that Of a room

Trimming Up Wild Trees.

Groups of trees near the house are
frequently the reason of old brush,
accumulations of dead leaves and
noxious weeds growing under and
around them. Often the underbrush
Is of such a character that it great
ly detracts from the appearance of
the surroundings. Such clumps Of
trees may be made truly beautiful by
cleaning up the rubbish, moving the
weeds, cutting away the dead wood
and removing the most unsightly Of
the u~nderbrush, A little trimming Of
the tops of the trees will improve
matters. It is possible in this way
"to mend nature" When beauty is
desired, some trees must be cut out
when they grow SO d~ensely that lat
eral DEVELOPMENT is checked,

THE COW.
Faithful Friend Has Tided Many
- a Farmer Over Periods of
Cruel Depression.

Perhaps it is not altogether to be
regretted that when prosperity comes
and nature smiles man is apt to forget
the times of adversely, says Wallace's
Farmer. At the same time it is I'M
grateful, to say the least, to forget the
instrumentality that pulled him
through, and it is foolish to suppose
that adversely is banished for good and
prosperity will continue forever. Tt is
not many years since the dairy COW
stood between the western farmer and
very hard times indeed. Money was
scarce. Prices of grain, of beef cattle
and other stock were low. Prospects
did o seem very bright to the farmer.
In this emergency the dairy COW stood
between many a farmer and hardship.
She brought in cash every week or
month. She bought shoes for the chill
dren, dresses for the women folk and
well, in some cases, perhaps, tobacco
for the men. She enabled some farm
ers to float owe the period of depres-
sion comfortably and many to swim
NIlSlC "ilHoup hSl tHCy NOulu nave
sunk.
The hard times have gone. The pig,
the horse, the steer, the grain, are all
bringing good prices. Money is plen-
tiful and cheap. Bank accounts are car
ryirg a comfortable surplus. Under
these conditions many a farmer is for
getting the good old cow that pulled
him though. He is allowing the calf to
u with her. He is forgetting and his
children are not learning how to milk.
The usefulness of the COW for the dairy
is being destroyed. When the turn Of
the tide ome and the farmer must
turn to the COW again, she will not be
able to serve him as she did before, not
through any fault Of hers, but because
of his neglect.
Men cannot farm high-priced land
on horseback. Neither can they always
afford to sit on the fence and watch
the calf do the milking.
