MILITARY MATTERS.

Lord Wolseley has probably been
i'm more engagements than any other
general. Since entering the army in
1852 he has served in Burmah, India.
China. Canada, Ashantee, Egypt and
finally the Soudan.
Last year there became nominally
available for military service in the
German empire 1,645.s46 young men,
but Of these 135.16s had emigrated
without leave, and over half a million
were sent back for a year.
The British war Office has issued
plans for the rehabilitation of the
army in South Africa which show
that there are 10000 volunteers, CO.
lonial troops, yeomanry, reservists,
etc, TO be sent home before any Of
the regulars are moved.
1t is said of a former marquis Of
Townshend that when young and en-
gagged in battle he saw a drummer
killed by cannon ball. which scat
tered his brains in every direction.
His eyes were at once fixed on the
CHASTITY object, which seemed to en-
gross his thoughts. A superior Of
fcer. observing him, supposed he was
intimidated at the sight and ad-
dressed him in manner to cheer his
spirits. "Oh," said the young marquis
with calmness. but severity: 81 am

PICTURES AND PAINTERS.

Among the pictures at the Penn VI
sania Academy of Fine Arts that Till
prove attractive TO- visitors during the
summer months are those presented
from the estate Of the late Francis
Lewis. The Lewis collection includes
pictures by Ziem. Corot. Dauhigny and
Lambinet.
Among the chief attractions Of the
exhibition of the Society of Miniature
Painters at the Modern gallery in Lon
don was the tiny full length portrait
# Miss MacWhirter, the daughter Of
Mr.. John MacWhirter, r. A. painted
some years ago by Sir Lawrence Alma
Tadema. The subject was then about
i6 years old.
During the rebuilding Of the house
Of an old established firm Of art deal
ers in Vienna a great roll Of canvas
was discovered, which turned ont to be
three pictures by Giovanni Battista
Tiepolo. These pictures. which had re-
mained hidden probably 30 years. rep
resent "Hera Banishing Selene.' "The
Triumph Of Amphitrite." and "Bacchus
and Ariadne."
The waggery Of sculptors during the
blossom time Of Gothic architecture
found scope in the heads Of saints and
sinners. devils and angels, which were
carved in stone or wood within and
without the church. There was a
rough humor IN the middle ages which
infinitely enjoyed the jest II an un-
popular priest was discovered to have
sat for his portrait when the sculptor
was making a Judas, an ogre, or a
devilkin.
American millionaires have sent mp
the price Of paintings TO such a point
that European collectors are now I'M
able to compete with them. One fair
minded German critic deplores the in
yasion Of the art field by the younger
generation of American millionaires,
whom he declares 10 be without real
artistic appreciation. saying they make
II possible for picture dealers 10 in
crease the price Of pictures tenfold and
thus shut out European buyers.

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY.

A good idea for mending a hole in
an umbrella is to stick on very firm
ly black court plaster inside the
cover. This is not as much seen as a
darn.
Economical women are making
bags to wear at the side of velvet,
brocaded or plain silk, and some
times Of cloth TO match the skirt.
They are very simply made and fas-
tened on the belt with black ribbon.
An excellent way to use again a
little left Of vegetable like peas,
beans or corn is to add TO one cupful
Of leftover a cupful of hot water
and neat. Wash, strain and reheat.
Blend a half tablespoonful each Of
butter and -four. season, and stir in
the vegetable liquor. Add a half cup
ful Of hot milk and serve.
Wallpapers that have . become
bruised or have been slightly torn,
and which cannot be matched, are
not necessarily ruined. They can be
touched up with water-color paints,
so that at a very little distance no
damage is perceptible. The paints
from a child's box will be good
enough, but you must mix the colors
TO get the right shades and then
touch in the broken pattern.

COOL DISHES FOR HOT DAYS.

For a lemon sherbet take pint lem

white six eggs; stir in latter after
other ingredients have been partly

For an orange frappe make a sirup
by boiling quart water with pint
sugar 90 minutes. Add juice five
oranges and two lemons; cool,

For a pineapple parfeit whip one
quart of cream TO stiff froth, add
cupful powdered sugar and peeled

milk he can get from three teats, leay-
ing the fourth for the calf, which is
a much better division. If the mixer
does not succeed in getting as much
milk as be thinks he should have, the
calf is allowed to start" It a second
time. As soon as the mixer is through,
the rope used to prevent kicking is re-
moved. and the COW and calf are ready
to 90 TO pasture. The yield per COW
varies from one pint to more than SIX
quarts.
Some herds are kept near cities and
towns for the special purpose of pro-
ducing milk, and the largest Of these
as well as the one supposed to be the
best managed, is located six miles from
San Juan. 1t has 200 cows. Following
the general rule, they are MIXED only
once a day, and in every case with the
aid of a calf, as already described. \
part of the herd is MIXED at midnight
for an early morning delivery, and the
remainder is MIXED about seven
o'clock a. m. for trade later in the
day. The milk is sent in large cans to
San Juan as promptly S possible ana
without being cooled. In this dairy
herd the average period Of lactation is
claimed to be about seven months.
Grass Is the only feed the cows receive
and they look well and seem to DO wen
on IT. Milking is done in three long
sheds standing side by side, so the Gov
cred area is almost square. The sheds
were the most substantial ones seen.
They have open sides and ends, and
heavy tile roofs sloping from a central
ridge and supported by many posts.
From a sanitary standpoint however
they were not well constructed. The
roofs fall low at the sides and the ends
are closed about half way down from
the ridge, so that the impure air which
has arisen from the stalls finds no es-
cane: although the sides and ends are
ALWAYS open, the low roofs and numer-
ous posts and stalls prevent free move
ment Of the air. BY the same causes
light is excluded. A few protected
openings in the roof Of each shed would
produce a great improvement The
floor is on level with the surround
ing ground, preventing good drainage.
These conditions, with neglect to clean
the stalls often and thoroughly, result
IN a strong odor Of putrefying waste.
Each shed has a wide passageway
through the center and a row Of 80
stalls, each four feet wide, on either
side. A swing gate forms a part Of
the front of every stall and separates it
from a little pen where the calfiskept.
The calves belonging to the cows to be
MIXED at midnight are put into their
pens about 5 o'clock in the afternoon;
the COWS are brought from the pasture
an hour or two later and quickly find
their places, each in the stall near her
own calf. Milking is done in the same
manner as has already been described.

German Physician, and is acknowledged
10 be one Of the most fortunate dis

mental medicine, but has stood the
test OF years, giving satisfaction in
every case, which its rapidly increas-
ing sale every season confirms. Two
million bottles sold annually. Bos-
chee's German Syrup was introduced
In the United States in 1858, and is now

FARMvILLE, VA, FRIDAY, MARCH p, 1903.

The dairies described give a good
idea Of what was seen elsewhere on
smaller scale. A herd near Ponce,
kept principally for the purpose OF
producing milk for the city, numbered
20 cows, and the amount of milk sent to
the city daily during the dry season
was only 1875 quarts. In the wet season
it increased to 25O quarts. The farmer
estimated that the calves got al least
100 quarts.

any milk until it is her turn TO be

the calf, allows it to draw a little from
