COWS MILK.

Milk contains very digestible form
of albumen, though it is less easily
digested by adults than by infants, on
account Of certain changes which take
place in the development of the body,
both in the form of the stomach and
in the character of the digestive fluids.
Milk is alone likely to commu-
nicate disease on account of the germs
which it always contains. Tubercu-
losis of the bowels and other forms Of
tuberculosis in young children is prob
ably due to milk in most cases. The
bowel troubles of children, and many
of the gastric and bowel disturbances
of older persons, may be traced d.
rectly to the barnyard germs which
are always found in great abundance
in milk. Milk should never be eaten
without scalding it for a few minutes.
This destroys the germs.

BEAUTY VS.. CULTURE.

| like girls who can make up in com.
mon sense what they lack in beauty.
A pretty face unaccompanied by a
bright mind loses half its charm, and
sometimes wells a multitude of disap-
pointments.
Sensible men rarely marry for beauty
alone. But the time consumed in per.
sonal decoration would lead one to sup
pose this took prominent part. Too
many otherwise sensible girls cater to
the puerile tlattery of men whose ma
lures are as shallow as the rogue which
infatuates them. They are moths, and
hutter about light that is often un.
natural and falsely brilliant.
To teach girl self admiration by
flattery is to crush the finest instincts
of perfect womanhood. Girls are SEN
sitive to praise, and, unless gifted with
powers of sounl discrimination, are
apt TO overra,e the advantages of per-
sonal attractiveEess, and devote more
attention to the perfection Of the outer
rather than OF the inner graces.
The admiration of a manly man, a
man of noble mind and pure instinct,
man whose horizon is not restricted
to the limitations Of personal environ.
ment, is the greatest incentive to self.
cultivation a girl can receive. The
praise of such man is an inspiration.
No conquest is too great and no task
too laborious, for the admiration is sim
cere, and its appreciation is sacred.
Such men and such women are the
balance wheels of the universe. Their
lives, thoughts, hopes and aspirations
are as pure as the rarest crystal, and
consequently stronger in adversely
anita gonism and misfortune than the
puny good wishes of undisciplined
minds.
There is a class of mea. however
(and they unfortunately stand higher
in social life than We expect to look
for them) whose sole aim in conversa-
tion is to turn pretty compliments and
foster selfadmiration in women. A
well-turned compliment is happy
lubricant to a sincere conversation,
but most conversations are not sincere
not even tclerably sensible. "Small
talk is the bane of civilization, and if
this is necessary to please women, the
sooner they become emancipated and
assume the dignity which is their
right. the better it will be for the next
generation.

How I Grew the Prize Tobacco

After fifty years of experience

NO1D
HUSTLE ILLUSTRATED.

Some OF the elderly men who are
trudging along at the same gait as
ever in the houses where there are
employed at the same salary they re-
ceived twenty-five yesrs ago, may
benefit by the following incident, which
occurred not long ago in downtown
store.
A young man who came into the
place less than two years ago was ad-
vanced over a man who had been there
thrifty years. The latter went to the
proprietor and complained that such
treatment as he had received after all
his years of service was unjust. The
proprietor, without pretending to
notice the complaint, asked:
What is that noise in the street,"
The old employee replied tina: he
did not know and waited.
Better see what it is,' said the
proprietor.
The old employee went out and re-
turned with the information that the
noise was made by wagons.
"How many wagons?' asked the
proprietor.
The old employee said he hadn't
counted them.
"Better find OUT" said the proprie-
tor.
The old employee went out again
and returned with the information that
there were eight.
"What Was the cause of the noise p
asked the proprietor.
The old employee said he didn't
know, and the proprietor suggested
that he had better ascertain. The old
employee went out the third time and
returned with the information that
the teamsters were hurrying to load
their wagons with goods.
The proprietor then touched the
bell on the desk, which summoned the
young man who had been advanced.
The proprietor asked him:
"What is that noise in the street ?"
II will see," replied the young man,
who went out and returned few mo-
ments later with the following re-
port:
"There are eight wagons out there
and the teamsters are in hurry to load
them with goods
The proprietor turned to the old
employee and said:
"Do you understand now why this
young man was advanced over
your"
The old employee understood, but
his knowledge came too late-M. y

QUAINT USE OF COMMON
WORDS.

litter originally meant courtship.
Crowd was the old English name fol
a fiddle or violin.
Good-by is a contraction of "God be
with you"
Deuteronomy is from two Greek
words meaning second and law. The
fifth book of Moses is so called from
its being mainly repetition of laws
previously enumerated.
Fashion was the old name for Ger
tain disease OF the horse. Itis alluded
to in The Tanning of the Shrew,
where Petrucchio's horse is said to be
"infected with the fashions" The
complaint is common one now, but
not among horses. ..
Bug originally meant a goblin. The
Welsh word bug meant goblin. The
Hebrew word, which in Psalms &c, 5
is represented by "terror," was in th>
early translations rendered bug, the
verse being: "Thou shalt not need tc
be afraid of any bugs by night
At first sight there would appear to
be little connection between flattery
and the wagging of a dogs tail. Yet
in nearly all the Northern language
the same word signifies both, and fiat.
terry is certainly derived from the word
signifying to wag the tail. In the old
Norman flagra signifies to flatter and
also to wag the tail. In Danish logre
is to way the tail, logger for cen is to
fawn on one. In Dutch vleyden is to
fatter and vleydsteersten is to wag
the tail In the old German wedcln
is to way the tail, and in English
wheedle is to gain ones end by fattery

I'D tobacco has been hidden IN a
nogshead with better qualities. When
this is positively known to be the case
it ought to be confiscated We should
pack our tobacco fairly, then go to the
city with it and see it inspected, for
very often it will be under sampled or,
perhaps, over-sampled. In the case OF
a hogshead being over-sampled, the
buyer will review and demand reclama-
tions; when under sampled, the farmer,
who has labored hard for eighteen
months, has no redress. 1t is bad
rule that does not work both ways,
and there should be legislation to rem
edy this defect.
And now pardon slight depression.
There never has been a time within
my recollection when farming was so
highly appreciated as now. There
never was a time when intelligent farm
ing was more profitable than now.
Sometime ago a gentleman, after read
ing some agricultural papers, remarked
tina. the farmer is coming to the front
[ replied, ''No, he is not coming to the
front; he has u/~oys been there, is there
now anil is going to stay"

THE GIRL WHO FOUND
HERSELF.

1t is not often that thing done for
pastime turns out to be ones chief re-
source and the serious business under
taking becomes pastime but a GER
tain young New York woman has
lately experienced this odd reversal OF
interest.
She sits in an office all day now and
evolves puzzles, acrostics and catch.
combination riddles for business adver.
tisements. But her original aim was
to be professional tourist and public
entertainer.
Always when at college she was
called upon to supply the nonsense
rhymes and character hits that the
girls wanted for private circulation or
for the college ANNALS. And now
this aptitude for playing on words and
looking at matters from lively, face.
tious standpoint brings her good pay.
"There are about as many declaim.
ers and dramatic speakers in the
amusement world now as can work
profitably, and not many people max

her work.
