lives alone with her cats and kittens.
The seed of the trouble was sown two
years ago. when Miss Carroll, who then
lived with her aunt, was presented by q
friend with a pretty Maltese cat with
green eyes.
The green eyes were the particularly
fetching feature of the cat, and they
appealed at once to Miss Carroll.
Miss Carroll was more inclined to-
ward kittens than she was toward
grown cats, but she did not confide this
to the donor of the cat until she learned
the next day that the green-eyed tabby
was the mother Of kittens.
Miss Carroll chung to her preference
for kittens.
The result was that she took one Of
the infants, leaving the mother to care
for the others until they, too, became
ratters and could care for themselves.
SNOWFALL might have lived out her
traditional existence Of nine lives in the
Taylor domicile had she continued as
she started out, but one morning she
made her debut as the proud mother Of
several kittens.
She had cause to be proud. too, be-
cause 1t was as finely assorted family
as any mother could wish.
Among the number were tortoise
hsell, a Maltese, tiger. and several
that were mixtures Of all kinds.
The kittens and the trouble came at
the same time.
Mamie" said Mrs. Taylor to her
niece, a few days after the kittens had
arrived. and after she had had score
of narrow escapes from stepping on the
small specimens that were wandering
around the house, do you not think the
condition Of affairs has reached one OF
too much cat"
Miss Carroll was not slow to resent
this reflection on her pets.

Egyptians were highly cultured race,
far advanced in learning and civiliza-
ton. and they held cats high above all
other animals in esteem, almost wor-

"That may be-" replied Mrs. Taylor,
"but never was in Egypt in my life.
and I do not intend to have my house
filed with these nasty. crying, fighting.
fiea-covered cats a day longer.
"You may get rid Of the cats, or you
may go. taking them with you"
eff you love me. you should love my
cats" rejoined Miss Carroll.
Mrs. Taylor assured her niece that
while her affection for her never had
faltered, she firmly refused to so far ex-
tend her love as to include family Of
kittens.
''Then," steadfastly announced Miss
Carroll. 81 shall take my cats and co."

A PUZZLE TO DAIRYMEN.
Variations in Fat Content of Milk o
Source of Wonderment Here
and Abroad.

One of the great problems that con-
front the scientists who deal with milk
is the great and frequent variation IN
lat content. In long period Of time
the amount of fat secreted seems to be
quite constant, but within the limits
If a hours all rules apparently go
astray. Here and there examiners of
milk have made hundreds and even
thousands of tests of milk during q
short time and have found extreme va
riations. In England q Prof. Ingle
made some hundreds Of tests. At one
experimental farm he tested 700 sam
pies OF milk. The average results as to
fat were: Morning milk, 80 per cent;
evening milk, as per cent. Other SOL
ids: Morning milk, 90 per cent; even
ing milk, SO per cent. Average milk
yield: Morning. IS pounds; evening.
IL pounds. These samples were taken
in March and April, when the days
were short and the nights were long.
From the time of milking at night till
the time OF milking In the morning
was IA to Is hours, and from the morn
ing milking to the evening milking
was eight or nine hours. The milk
was richest in the evening, but the
quantity was smallest.
The causes for this great variation
are little known, aud we have not yet
learned the conditions that influence
them. In some of the samples analysed
the fat content fell below three per
cent, which is the legal standard for
milk in England. II man should sell
milk that contained less than three per
cent. butter fat he could be prosecuted
for watering his milk. In such cases
It Is a common practice to have the
cow MIXED and the sample tested for
the courts benefit. But in allowing
this milkman is taking great chances,
for the cow that gave less than three
per cent. milk in the morning Is likely
to give a four per cent. milk at night.
In that case the sample would most
certainly convict the unhappy COW
owner. for 1t would apparently prove
beyond all question that he had liber-
ally watered his milk to get 1t below
three per cent. This has not been
known until recent years and It may be
suspected that many a milkman has
been prosecuted for watering his milk
when he did not do So This does not
mean that we must do away with all
standards, but that the milkman must
be more careful about the milk he sells.

SUMMER GIRLS FAILURE.
Rugged Herself Up to Make a Hit,
But Her Finery All
Wilted.

Once upon q time there was q girl
who decided that she would be the
real thing in the summer girl line,
relates a st. Paul Globe writer. Be-
fore the snow melted she was plan
ming a wardrobe that would bring
down any summer youth from a mil
lionaire prospective to a Dry Goods
clerk. She embroidered all her shirt
waists by hand, and made seven sets
of turn.overs before the summer
styles were settled, only to learn that
they were wearing 1880 yokes. She
bought a white silk drop skirt for her
null dress. and then her poor old
mother had to 60 without q new sum-
mer hat so that daughter could have
the real thing in a lingerie hat to
go with the silk drop skirt. Father
was driven to the verge Of nervous
prostration by the domestic discussions
of skirt yokes and the best thing IN
color combinations, and brother Jimmy
lost his half-holiday chasing down
cerise near-silk when she wanted
cherry lining for her lawn dress.
The clerks at the stores all got 70
know her-she had SO many goods
exchanged-and when at last she pulled
out for q Jersey town with two trunks
and q dress suit case her old father
said: "This is Heaven" and her
mother stopped taking nerve cure.
But the girl found. she was up
against 1t after all. Her dresses faded
and dropped in the sea air and so did
her hair. Sitting up nights sewing
had made her sallow. and she squinted
from doing fine embroidery. The girl
who made a hit with the few summer
boys in sight wore the same linen
dress three days running and had only
one party dress to her name. But she
had the real thing in eyes and dim
pies. So the girl who had meant to be

the rapid increase Of color when the

the farm continues to put in the same
amount that was added in the winter
and the butter that goes onto the mar

as undesirable. Farmers Review.
