Musical Genius of the Poor.

1t has frequently been noticed that
musical gifts, and especially that of a

among the cottages of the poor than
among the rich and learned classes.

ole, and cases like that of Mario, who
was a count, are altogether excep-
lional. "Stars" of lowly origin, Oh the

GRATEFUL, HAPPY WOMEN
Thank Pe-ru-na for Their
Recovery After Years of
Suffering.

Miss Muriel Armitage, SO Green

Organizer of the Royal Templars of

so much to me that | feel for the sake
of other suffering women it is my
duty to tell what Peruna Has done
for me.
- suffered for five years with
uterine Irregularities, which brought
on hysteria and made me a physical
wreck. l tried doctors from the diff
ferent schools of medicine, but with
out any perceptible change in my
condition. In my despair L calledon
an old nurse, who advised me to try
Peruna, and promised good resultsif
Iwould persist and take itregularly.
| thought this was the least | could
do and procured a bottle. | knew as
soon as l began taking it that it was
affecting me differently from any
thing l had used before, andsoI kept
on taking it.. 1 kept this up for six
months, and steadily gained strength
and health, and when 1 had used
fifteen bottles 1 considered myself
entirely cured. l am a grateful,
happy woman to-day.'-Miss Muriel

Notes on Separating Milk.

J. w. Newman, in a talk to a Canadian
dairyman, said: milk fresh and warm
as It comes from the COW is In the best
condition for separation. Otherwise
aerate and cool to 60 degrees. When
ready to separate heat the milk again
above 80 degrees by some continuous
heater that will hold sufficient milk to
keep the separator going at least five
minutes. Butter fat is not a good con-
ductor of heat, not equal to skinned
milk; therefore, sufficient time for ex-
pansion of the fat should be allowed be-
fore milk is fed into separator. Heating
milk reduces its %viscosity, increases the
capacity and insures more exhaustive
separation. Avoid vibration, low speed,
overlooking separator, low temperature
or making very heavy cream by adjust
ment."

Handy for the Farmers.

When a farmer or a boat builder at
Winter Harbor, Me-, needs a grindstone
he goes down the bay and fishes for one
with ropes and tackle from a boat. The
bottom is covered with them, and they
can be hauled out all ready to set up.
Many years ago a schooner from Rock
land loaded with a cargo of several hun
dred grindstones went TO wreck on the
strip of rocks now and for that reason
known as Grindstone point, She went
to the bottom, and as the timbers rotted
and separated or were washed away by
the frequent storms, the grindstones
were scattered around, a quarry which
everybody is at liberty to %patronize for
himself.-Chicago Record.

Some pilfering clerk would steal it?'

"Well, that may be, but I'm not going
to start that stuff away from here with
a hoodoo amount of postage sticking to
it. The address would rub off, it would
get smashed in the mail, even if it didn't
roll out Of the car and get under the
wheels. That's not all. If the woman
to whom it is addressed discovered. that
it came to her home for 10 cents, she'd
find fault with the goods, be cross for a

into the fire. Here's another cent; make

CARE OF l R ROADS.
It ShOuld Not De Relaxed In the Ag1-
tatiOn for MOre substantial
Highways.

In driving over a number of our dir,
roads last fall I noticed that, almost
without exception, they were in a deplor-
able condition to leave for winter. 1t is
true that we had a hard summer for
roads, but that only makes it the more
imperative to look after them and get
the water running off properly before the
ground freezes. The side bitches should
be cleaned out and the sluice openings
cleared of silt and fallen grass. In places
the water had broken across the road
owing to an INSTRUCTED ditch, and there
were fiat stretches where drainage was
so bad that water was almost on a level
with the wheel track. When roads GO
into the winter in this way look out for
trouble in the spring, and lots of it. These
roads had been worked and shaped UP
properly in the spring or early summer.
The appropriations had been expended
and the roads were then allowed to shift
for themselves. l know of one road.
master who makes it a practice to &c
over his road with a shovel Immediately
after every heavy rain. few shovelfuls
removed here and a few added there a v
many dollars of expense later on, and
keep the road in remarkably good shape.
One never sees any loose stones in the
road bed in that district, either. But, as
a rule, farmers who are usually the road
masters, are too busy with their affairs
at home to think about the roads at such
times.
In the agitation for macadamized
roads, 1t is to be feared that the dirt
roads may be neglected-be looked upon
as evils to be endured until the stone
ones may take their place. This should
not be, for however the problem of taxa
tion of the farmer for stone roads may
be solved, it is still true that macadam-
lied roads for all our rural sections are
about as far off as the millennium. Coun-
try roads in the spring are, as a rule
something intolerable; but the remedy
Is not in stone roads, but in an improve
ment Of the dirt roads and a better sys-
tenn of maintaining them. With grad.
ing off of hills and filling in of low places.
with undertakings and with constant
supervision by competent road builders
dirt roads would be different from what
they are. At the same time, this kind OF
work would be preparatory to the stone
surface which would ultimately be
added. The laws in relation to the main
tenance of our common roads need over
hauling, and the administration of them
be placed in more scientific and com
petent hands than it is at present.-Grant

Did you ever go into a factory and no.

their hands, how almost automatically
the motions are made? Did you ever
notice, too, how everything stood in just

work than you could? Your hands, also
can learn to work without waiting for
brain and eyes to tell them where to find
things, il your tools and clothes are al

you do not have to waste thought on
