May Xr1vin'g Colored Cook.

May Irwin has colored cook of the
kind usually refe red to by mistresses
as "a jewel" Not long ago NANNY
was taken i'll and Miss Irwin sensibly
decided that the patient would be bet
ter off in a hospital than elsewhere.
The cook recovered in fine shape and
was about to return to her kitchen,
when the doctors decided that Slight
operation was advisable. Nanny
did not like the prospect, but left it to
miss May The latter listened care
fully to what the doctors had to say,
and then gave this decision, much to
the patients delight: "No. She's too
good cook. / can't take any chances. y
And that same afternoon NANNY
once more reigned over her pots and
pans.

CARE or FERNS.
How These Plants May Be Made
to Thrive.

How These Plants May Be Made
to Thrive.
Contrary to the opinion of most peo-
pie, the Boston fern thrives best when
exposed Cor at least half day to
strong sunlight An ideal place for
such fern is an east bay window.
The plant never should be turned
around except twice year, once early
in the spring and again in November,
says the Chicago Tribune. About the
1st of March cut off all the fronds on
the side that has been turned toward
the room. Then turn that bare side
toward the light. In a few weeks the
young zfronds will be half grown. In
the autumn repeat the process. In this
way all the fronds are renewed every
twelve months.
Quite as important as this systematic
exposure to sunlight is proper drain
age. The pot which holds the fern
should stand on an inverted bowl in a
jardiniere. There is always water in
the jardiniere, but owing to the invert-
ed bowl it never reaches the roots Of
the fern. If the pot stands in water
the soil sours and the roots rot, some
times to within a few inches of the
soils surface
Another point that must be remem-
lOered is that the roots of the fern need
mir. This free circulation of air is OBJ
tanned by having the jardiniere several
sizes larger than the inner receptacle.
Every week stir into the soil half a
teaspoonful of plant food. Be careful
not to let the food touch the fern itself,
but mix well with the earth about it.
If scales should get on the fern wash
it with soft sponge dipped in a suds
made from whale oil soap. After two
or three hours wash OF with clear
water, as the suds fill up the pores Of
the fern stems.
Once day moisten the soil about the
fern with pint of cold tea or coffee.

How to wash Kid Gloves.

To wash kid gloves, first get the kind
that will wash. Then wash them right
Don't imagine that any old way will
do. The washable kid can be cleaned.
But they demand that 1t be done prop
erly. The glove must first be soaked
for half an hour or more in lather Of
tepid soap and water, then washed on
the hand in fresh lather, and finally
rinsed and squeezed gently with a
towel, so that when taken from the
hand it is not dripping wet and dries
quickly. These economical gloves can
be had in kid or suede and In pretty
shades Of beaver and gray as we'll as
in white.

The Language He Knew.

eve are not exactly linguists." re-
marked the Ellis island inspector
thoughtfully, "but we all have few
stock phrases in nearly every Ian
guage of the globe-things that we
need in our business, you know. We
also all have a theory that we can tell
the nationality of a person at glance.
"Well, the other day the regular
interpreter was called away and /
took his place for a few moments.
The first to come before me was a
man that sized up as being an 1tal-
Ian. So I asked him in Italian where
he was going. I might as well have
been speaking Sanscrit; my Italian
never touched him. Then l tried him
on Servian and in three Polish dia-
lects, then in Russian, and finally in
German and French, but all to no purs
pose. Just then the regular came, and
I said to him, with some warmth:
II wonder what - language this
understand, anyhow
'I understand that, sor," he said

OF course the. pocketbook of the fond
parent is a secondary consideration
when the welfare Of the child in the
public schools is under discussion but
it should not be so far secondary as to
be lost sight of altogether when the
Board of Education makes change in
text books. Changes in books are un-
avoidable from time to time. Methods
change and books with them, and the
city schools must keep pace with the
procession. But the changes should
be as few as possible and made only
when absolutely necessary to maintain
the standard of the schools.

The men arrested in connection
with the Pleasant Prairie tarring case
carry the idea that their arrest is a
great joke. There are good many
law abiding citizens throughout the
county, however, who fail to see where
the humor of the situation comes in
and it is just barely possible that the
district attorney may be able to con-
vince some of the jokers that the
whole thing is not quite SO funny as it
now looks before the cases are finished.

THE owners Of valuable dogs should
be the first to urge the passage of the
dog licensesordinance. The worthless
ours roaming the streets are respons-
ible for the periodical hydrophobia
scares which make it necessary to in

the proposed ordinance passes and is
properly enforced the police will be
able TO clear the city of vagrant ami
mails and the danger of future OUT

The American Heiress Mark ct.

The story of the Austrian Count
Monnich, who is being sued by a SYM
dictate of money lenders to recover
money advanced to hdm to enable him
to marry fortune, should, but proba-
bly, will not, open the eyes of rich
Americans whose daughters are wooed
by foreign noblemem.
It does not seem to be denied that
the loan was made for the distinct
purpose OF matrimonial speculation;
the defense is that the money was bor-
rowed to enable the count to marry a
certain lady, whereas that lady, not
being an American heiress, refused
him and he had to look elsewhere.
The point is that he deliberately set
out TO marry fortune, and, having
failed In Europe turned his attention
to the United States, where he sue
ceeded.
There is mo particular occasion for
regret or sympathy on either side. The
count won fortune with his bride;
the lady bought a title with her hus-
band; both got what they wanted.
But such proceedings are disgrace
full from the American point of v1ew,
which contemplates love ais an essen
tial element OF marriage. They are
an offense to the American sense OF
honor, and all true Americans are
ashamed Of them. -Pdhd elph4a In

Creamery Business In Kenosha Get
ting to be One of the County's
Greatest Industries.
MILK PRODUCT IN MILLION S.
Several Million Pounds of Milk and Over
Million Pounds of Butter Produced
During the Past Year,

County Clerk w. C. Crosby has for
warded to the Secretary of State a re-
port on the creameries in this county
which shows that the dairy business in
Kenosha is gaining prestige in the
state and the products of the diaries
must, in the future, be rated as one of
the first class products of the county.
This is the FIRST year that any definite
report of the business done bvn the
creameries has been made to the secre.
tary of state and the statistics com.
piled are of great interest to the people
who keep tab on the great agricultural
resources of the county.
There are fifteen creameries ia the
county and during the year the num-
Der has been increased by two while
one has discontinued business. The
crea1neries are run with minimum of
labor and only about a hundred men
are employed. But one of the cream
cries is located in Kenosha but four
Of them are operated with Kenosha
capital.
The value of the creamery property
as returned by the assessors is $50, 900
and five hundred and ninetY-eipht
people contribute to the support of
them. The number of COWS used in
producing the milk which goes into
the creamsries is 1O,41O.
The number of pounds of milk re-
ceived during the past year was &c.
214, 804 and the number of pounds of
butter produced from this milk was
1,088,019. The value of these products
from this county alone during the year
was $223,695.32. The increase over
last year is exceedingly large, but it is
impossible to put it in figures on ac-
count of the fact that the report for
previous years was of the most incom-
petent nature. The number of COWS
in the county has been almost doubled
during the year.
Notwithstanding the great growth
of the creamery business in the county
the farmers wife and her churu have
not been re1egated to the background
and the report shows that a large
amount of butter is still being made in
the homes of the farmers in the county.
During the year it is estimated by the
clerk that six thousand pounds of but
ter were made on the farms of the
county and sold to the markets. There
was no cheese made in any of the
creameries but in the private homes
1,268 pounds of cheese were made and
sold. Before the opening of another
year it is expected that condensing
factory will be opened in the county
and this will largely increase the value
of the dairy products.

One difference between yacht racing
and horse racing was very noticeable,
recently. The day was stormy ant,
leaky, and the going on land and on
sea was difficult. The yacht race sched-
uled for that day was postponed. The
Futurity, run by young horses, came
off as advertised, not horseman even
limiting at postponement though the
mud ON the track was six inches deep
and the rain was pe1ting. A stable boy
at Sheepshead Bay expressed himself
In this way: "Them yachting fellers
amt sports. Guess next time they'll
do their stunts in q tent"

THE state board of agriculture is
being severely criticised for the way
In which the state fair has been man
aged this year. The tair is in no way
equal to those held in neighboring
states and in no way worthy Of Wis
consin. Part of the blame for the de-
plorable state of things at the fair
grounds, however, must be given to
the legislature which failed to appro-
pirate sufficient money to enable the
board to make the necessary improve
ments at the grounds. Before the fair
is held next year complete drainage
system should be put in at the park
and sidewalks built so that in passing
from one exhibit to another visitors
will not have to wade in mud and
water over.their shoe tops.

THE suggestion that Kenosha cor,

THE suggestion that Kenosha corn
ey should hold an "old home week"
meets with the approval of many Of
the old residents of the county now re-
siding in other states. Most of the
New England cities and counties have
these annual gatherings of former
residents and thousands go from all
over the country to attend them. IF
Kenosha county should decide 70 in-
augurate this pleasing custom in Wis
consin, other cities and counties would
take it up and it would not be a grea
many years before the custom. would
be general all over the state.

Women Doctors In Russia.

While this is concededly ''woman's
age" and while the sisters In some
parts of the world, notably in the Unit
ed States, are entering in rapidly in
creasing numbers all the fields Of &C
tivity, no little surprise is felt by those
who for the first time learn that in
darkest Russia" the woman doctor is
more In evidence than in any other
country on the globe. Among the wild
and scattered population Of the cars
immense domain there is an almost In
e1haustible field for women as doctors
and teachers, and it Is the knowledge
of this fact that has removed the op-
position to their obtaining the educa-
ton furnished by the highest univei,
sites.
In 1897 there were In Russia 997 IL
censed women doctors. Since that time
the number has doubled and is con-
stantly increasing. It is also a fact
that in this profession many Russian
women have won distinguished names.
There are those among them who have
enormous practices in the cities and
large towns, and in many cases they
are employed as official physicians by
the municipalities.

sours it is pure; If it remains sweet it
probably contains formalin, and, you
