It's peculiarly, especially during the
early years Of life. Most counties In
England have their ldlomatic express
sions to denote left handedness, and
they are often pre6xed to the unfortu-
nate left handed child's name. In Lon
don the term IL kack handed, the word
being also equivalent to awkward. In
Lancashire II Is k-pawed, In Yorkshire
gallock or gawk handed. an expression
dating back to at least the seventeenth
century. In Derbyshlre are used the
terms keg handed, cork handed and
corky handed, while In the Tecsdale
district cuddy handed is common, and
In Nottlnghamshire wallet handed.
In the south Of England special terms
to denote left handedness are also
found. In Dorset 1t is scrame handed.
and in Devonshlre coochy handed. In
Scotland we find gawk handed, and In
the west cawry handed. In ireland a
left handed man IL called n kithogue

would spoil his political beauty during
the contest.-London Chronicle.

1t trlumphs easily over the critical
sense and the habit OF scientific rea-

native servants win never be taken
unawares. You forbid one Of them to

surprise him there with a cigarette in
his mouth. You were smoking NO

denies always. Taken red handed he
denies. Beneath blows he denies.
Pain Ia sometimes powerless to make
him confess, even at the point of death.
This obstinacy Is due in part to the
high idea he has of his dignity. His
pride forbids him a confession, be-
cause the avowal of his lying Is IN
finitely humlliating In his eyes. The
fear Of losing face Is all powerful in
him. To recognize a fault Ia more
shameful than to have committed It.
Hence the peculiar obstinacy Of the
native In denying, even when It would
be to his interest to confess, an OBJ
stinacy not manifested in other ways"

A native OF Peru has vouched for
the following: A native pointed out
one day huge white dog that lay be-
fore his waited house. He declared
that his dog had intelligence Of an al
most human order. He said that once.
when 1t had broken bone in its foot,
he had taken 1t to surgeon and the
surgeon had set the fracture and re-
lieved 1t OF Its pain. Some months aft
erward, In the middle Of the night, the
surgeon was awakened by great
scra itching at his door and by thump-
Ing as OF some heavy body. He slipped
on a dressing gown and went down, to
find the white dog in his garden with
a brown dog beside II that held one
leg of the ground. The surgeons de-
duction was that the white dog had
brought its companion there for treat
ment, Accordingly he dressed the leg
Of the injured animal. and thereupon
tho two dogs licked HIS hands with an
air Of gratitude and departed slowly
into the night side by side.

OF mind to clasp the hands behind bis

you first ind yourself In deep water

Stature of Japanese

A Japanese traveller at the st. Louis
fair, while declaring his nation to be
the finest in the world, acknowledges
that he and his countrymen are trou-
bled somewhat over their diminutive
stature. He holds, however, that orig
inally the Japanese were a race of
giants and that their stature has di-
minished as a result of their stren-
uous exertions in acquiring modern
science, and that they will grow tall
again in the peace and prosperity that
will follow victory. The same -riental
visitor complacently points out that
many great men have been of few
inches, including Alexander the Great
Aristotle, Michael Angelo, Beethoven

man Conger had attended the law
school at Albany, n. Y. Among the
students in his class, and one with
whom he became well acquainted, un-
til the acquaintance grew into a true
friendship, was William Mckinley. A
quarter of century later Maj. Conger
and Maj. Mckinley served together in
congress, and the friendship of early
days was renewed. When the Brazilian
post became vacant President McKin-
ley remembered his friend Conger and
the appointment was promptly made.
Later, when the Peking post became
vacant and the administration needed
a thorough diplomat, a tactful, care
full statesman, Maj. Conger was trans
ferred. The Peking post is an impor-
tant one; the past six years have
found grave questions of commerce as
we'll as of international law, arising.
Maj. Conger has fulfilled his mission.
During the diplomatic conferences fol-
lowing the capture of Peking he rep
resented this government, and, while
there are some to-day who maintain
that he was too forgiving and lenient,
and granted concessions to China which
should never have been made, he acted
throughout for what he considered the
highest and greatest justice to all.
1t was some time after the boxer
uprising that Maj Conger returned to
Des Moines, his lifetime home, on q
short leave of absence. A great mass
meeting was held at the Auditorium to
welcome him. 1t was attended by
thousands. When Maj Conger had

A POUND OF BUTTER.
Some Advice, Which If Needed, Will
Produce Gilt-Edge
Article.

In the official report on the Farmers
Institutes of Canada last year, the
dairymaids and farmers wives were
told-what they doubtless knew be-
fore-that pound of butter contained
16 ounces; but when it came to the
Characterization of each of these 16
ounces, we believe that most of them
learned something new. This is the
way the ounces were described:
1. One Ounce of Wisdom.-Let us
show wisdom in selecting and demand
ing only the best.
2. One Ounce of Precaution.-We
will take the precaution to properly
prepare our utensils, and leave them
in good condition when we are through
with them
8. One Ounce of Concentration
Have your mind on your work and
you will make no mistakes.
4. One Ounce of Cleanliness.-Thi
is the dairymans motto, and needs to
be exercised in the whole process OF
buttermaking.
5. One Ounce of Determination
This will help us to overcome all diff
culties.
6. One Ounce of Prevention.-The
science of buttermaking is made up
almost entirely of preventive meas
ures.
Z. One Ounce of Forethought.-
Which is needed at every stage.
8. One Ounce of Prevision.-What
are the requirements of the market for
which this butter is being made? We
will consider this, and develop flavor
add salt and color to suit our Gus
toners.
9. One Ounce of Discrimination
This is needed to distinguish fiavors
II is also needed in choosing parch.
ment paper, SALT etc.
10. One Ounce of Accuracy-By
making use of the scales we shall
know how much butter there will bt
i'll a churning, and thus gauge the
uniformity.
IL. One Ounce of Judgment.-Wt
need to have good judgment in choos
ing the temperature at which to churn
and for making conditions favorable
for churning at low temperature.
II. One Ounce of Common Sense
If we use this, we will stop churnine
when the butter is in granular form
13. One Ounce of Patience.-Wt
must have patience in using the ther
mometer, in draining the wash watel
eff the butter, and in giving the sal
time to dissolve.
IA. One Ounce Of Experience.-Thi.
will help us in knowing when the but
ter is worked enough, and not over
worked and greasy.
is. One Ounce of Neatness-Thi
applies TO person and product, and es
pecially to the printing and wrapping
of the butter.
16. This Is the Ounce of Honor
We will do our best, use what is best

FACTS FOR DAIRYMEN.

Use some good spray to protect the
herd from flies. 1t will save many
times it's cost.
That frowsy, sore-eyed calf has no
disease, it has lice. Give it a greasing
with lard and sulphur.
Wonder if your finger-nails haven't
something to do with that kicking
COW? See if they are not too long and
sharp.
The wise dairyman will test the COW
with keen appetite and find out what
she is doing with the large amount OF
feed eaten. If she is returning a profit
on the cost, give her chance.
The use of preservatives in cream
shipped to creamery should be dis.
couraged. as the preservative inter.
feres with the development of the
flavor.
The dairyman can rejoice in the fact
that his farm is increasing in fertility
every year, even if he is only making
living at the business. The only pos,
sible exception to this is the man tha,
produces milk to sell whole.

An Electric cow-Milker.

The applications of electricity are
now many and various, and the posi-.
bilities of still wider and more va
ried use are almost beyond concep-
ton; but probably few have thought Of
the electric agent as substitute for
the old-fashioned method of milking
cows. But our consular agent at Gems,
Germany, in report to the state de-
partment, describes an electric appa-
ratus for milking cows actually in use
In that part of Germany. In this con-
trivance rubber hoods are attached to
the udder of the COW. These hoods
are connected with vessel for re-
ceiving the milk by means of a rubber
tube, from which the air is exhausted
by means of the electrical device. II
is claimed that the suction thus Sc
cured resembles very closely the suck
ing of calf, and that for this reason
the cow lets down" her milk more
freely than when milked by hand Il
is also claimed that absolute cleanli
ness of the milk may be secured wher
this method of milking is employed
