BUSINESS IS Fatal.
Tast and . Calm, Easy Manner A1O
the First Essentials Of Really \
Good Manners.

Etiquette is not mere code of formal,
useless rules; it comprises the whole
range Of good manners, and consequent
~ good breeding, tact, politeness and
charm. We begin to learn etiquette
when we are told to eat with fork IN
preference to knife, or our fingers;
to sit with our feet under the table, in.
stead of on It. 49,, 6
Many persons have an idea that per.
feet manners, and q knowledge Of how
to act under all circumstances, is borl;
in those called upon to move in good SO,
ciety, and that 1t Is snobbish to try and
obtain 1t through books. Than this
there can be no greater mistake. Tho
children Of the most cultured must sub
NIT to a long education in etiquette.
Much, OF course, comes to them almost
as naturally as speech, through the
knowledge their children possess; but
then the parents must have knowledge
In the first place. It is the perfect &C
.Quaintance with what is good form, the
consciousness of feeling perfectly at
ease in whatever situation one may find
herself, that gives the easy air of good
breeding SO full of charm, so we'll worth
attaining. Natural tact, innate refine
ment, 60 far, but they do not take one
all the way, any more than naturally
clever child can get on without any
teaching whatever. But one thing is
certain-it is only those who are natural
ly refined, and possess an Unborn tact.
who can ever hope to attain perfection
Of manner, for the foundation of all good
breeding is tact.
A tactful person grasps situation in
an instant, and is at once prepared to
speak and act correctly, no matter what
company she may be in. She is neither
too familiar, nor too reserved.
Next to tact, calm, easy manner is
absolutely necessary to the attainment
of an air of good breeding. Fussiness is
fatal. An over-accentuated politeness
and desire to please is more to be COM
mended, certainly, than the lack of both.
but It is almost as far removed from the
ease of good breeding.-N. Y. Weekly.

FALL CARE OF cows.
When Pastures Are Gettinv Bako q
Pays to Haul q Little Fodder
to the Field.

In the feeding of dairy COWS two sea-
sons are recognized by the average
dairyman. These are the winter feed
ing season and the summer season. IN
the former case the animals are entire
ly dependent upon what grain and fod-
der are allotted to them, there being no
opportunity for grazing afforded. The
very opposite of this is true during the
summer season, the animals being e1-
pected to hunt their own living. The
transition from one season to another
frequently causes falling of In the
milk supply. This is particularly true
in the fall when the animals are left to
shift for themselves after the nights be-
come cold. The fact is lost sight OF
that dairy animal is of rather delicate
constitution, and on this account can
not Withstand the hardships which the
beef animal can bear.
It is an exceedingly good plan to al
low cows to have shelter at night after
the first Of October. If they are put
in the stable or In sheds and fed small
grain ration night and morning, to-.
gether with little fodder, they will lib
orally respond to such treatment at
milking time, and will more than pay
for the food fed in this way, and the la
Dor involved in caring for them. While
the days remain warm they are j ust
as well out in the pasture, as there Is
no food better adapted for milk pro-
duction than good grass. Grass is also
economical, and for this reason one
should endeavor to extend the grazing
season just as long as possible. If pas
lures are getting little bare, it will
generally pay to haul little fodder to
the field. This may be cornfodder.
sorghum, Kafir corn, millet or any
crops Of this character. It Is never
a good plan to turn cows onto frosted
grass after having kept them in the
stable during the night, it being much
better to keep them housed until the
grass is approaching dryness.-Midland

Poor Cream Closed Factory.

Poor cream caused the closing Of .
new creamery In Minnesota recently
The buildings had been erected and
equipped at considerable expense and
everything was frst-class. A large
supply of cream was received. but the
cream itself was very poor. Tho
farmers said they had too much work
to do to bring their cream in more
than once a week. and the consequence
was that the cream received was Of ex-
ceptionally poor quality. The butter
made was Of course correspondingV
poor and the money received for it was
not sufficient to pay expenses and yield
a profit. Hence the creamery shut

HOW TO PRESERVE EGGS.
Keeping Them in Water Glass IL An
Effective Method for the Aver
age HOusekeeper.

Now and then housekeeper wants to
know of some reliable way to preserve
eggs in time of summer plenty for the
midwinter season of scarcity, when eggs
are so much in demand for holiday
dainties. Most methods are somewhat
uncertain and some really affect the
taste of the eggs even if it keeps" them
in q general sense of the word.
Those who are studying the subject O.
egg preservation otherwise than by cold
storage and in large quantities agree that
nothing is better than water glass. This
is a solution of silicate of soda which has
a consistency something like oil. If but
a few pounds are needed the price is
about rs cents a pound. But as it is to
be diluted nine times its bulk with cold
water, and one pound will cover about
$50 eggs, the cost is not so great. The
eggs must be perfectly fresh, not store
eggs, then stored in a cool, dark place,
and experience proves that wood or
earthenware is better than metal, be-
cause after time water glass will cor
rode metal.
The theory of preserving eggs in any
solution is to keep the contents Of the egg
from evaporating through the porcrs
shell or to prevent air from enterir e
through the shell to the contents. ANY,
thing which completely closes the pores
of the shell If It be harmless itself Is a
good preservative. Some Of the sub
stances used are too expensive even II
efficient; water glass is botk effective
and inexpensive.

PICTURESQUE RASCALS.
Catouche, Petit and Other Famor

Catouche, Petit and Other Famous
 ROgues In France.
 Readers of Scott are familiar with the spy. Glengarry, an adventurer of noble family. and light purse, who lived on his nimble mother wit, and the doubtful policy of running with the hare and hunting with the hounds, be- ing by turns friend or enemy to the Jacobite cause, as Fortune aIternated.
 Nowadays the order of gentlemen adventures, highwaymen and burglars is on the Wane, and even in "gaie Paris where responsibility is rather at a discount, these lucrative callings seem to have been relegated to the low CT orders. Such noble ruffians as Petit Conquard and the dandy Count d'Aru- helm, who had his cost-of-arms en- broidered on his prison cap, have we'll nigh disappeared.
 Petit, the renowned "forcat" of Paris, who was a man of highly refined and gentlemanly exterior, spent his rakish existence in cheerful attenuation be- tween the baque and the most modish salons of the day. and in his intervals of freedom was the acknowledged of a section of smart society. But be- meath all his polish of refinement this cheat, burglar and forger concealed a monstrous and merciless spirit, which revealed itself finally in the act of murdering his gaoler with a small pair of scissors
 Petit was, in fact a feeble plagiarist of Francois Jacques Villon, whose ir- famous cratic and most intricate na- ture Robert Louis Stevenson so graphi- cal1y portrayed as to rescue him from a possible oblivion to undying notoriety among English readers.
