THE TURN IN THE LANE

How often we picture the possible day
When fortune will camp on our trail,
| When, blest with enough, We can rest
j from the fray,
Be sale from adversity's gale.
We picture future of roseate hue,
Fair skies never dampened with rain,
And great is our scheming of what we will
| do,
When we.get to the turn in the lane.
All! bright are the dreams as we sit at our
ease,
And the leaves of the future unfold,
When our ship comes a-sailing. from over
the seas
All freighted with coveted gold.
What fancies go dancing on shimmering
feet
Through the intricate halls OF the brain,
vi joys of existence unspeakably sweet
When We get to the turn of the lane.
We gaze far away through the yistas OF
time
To the beacon of hope on the hill,
And vow to ourselves we will ceaselessly
climb
To the summit with resolute will.
With firm resolutions we'll do and we'll
dare,
Will dare at privations and pain.
Then reyel in ease that's awaiting us
there
When we get to the turn of the lane.

TRIED IT ON THE WRONG MAN

The story telegraphed from Havans
about the conspiracy to overthrow the
American authority in Cuba reminds me
that a similar scare was once attempted in
Porto Rico. One morning a man from
one of the interior towns came to head.
quarters, and in most imperious manner
announced that it was imperative that he
should see Gen. Henry alone. He was
shown into the generals Office without
ceremony, and asked to state his busi-
ness. With a great many preliminaries
and mysterious airs he whispered that a
conspiracy was on foot to assassinate all
OF the American officials, overpower the
soldiers and sieze the government. He
admitted that he had reluctantly joined
the plot, but was remorseful and was will
ing to reveal the details and give the
names of the men engaged, provided he
was well rewarded and assured of protec-
ton.
Gen. Henry had been looking him over
and ''sizing. him up'' during the inter-
view. and when the visitor finished his
narration, remarked indifferently.

THE CHEESE FACTORY

To drain successfully the immediate
surroundings of a cheese factory site has
long been troublesome problem. To de-
wise some means of carrying all waste
matter beyond contamination distance
from the building, and to have the means
employed practicable, convenient and ef-
ficacious would be boon OF no small mo-
ment to factory men. The refuse of the
manufactured milk whey soon be-
comes fetid in the soil that it impregnates
under and about the cheese building.
Summer heat will always do this, and no
earth draining that can be devised will
clear from the soil the injurious germs
left there by the decaying animal matter.
Therefore We must not let the whey touch
the soil, or stand in vat near the prem
ises. 1t should be conveyed least ten
rods from where the daily process of
cheese making is going ON before it is
stored in vat or wooden tub. Wooden
troughs will not serve the purpose of
whey conduits, because they become
leaky in dry weather, and their absof-
bent nature causes,them to be offensive.
There is, however, piaL of procedure
which, if adhered to, will preclude the
possibility of effiuyia arising from under
the cheese-making room to taint milk.
Use no drains about the factory that are
not open, for such alone can be thor
orghly cleansed and kept sweet. Place
the whey tub one hundred and sixty feet
away form the factory, and get that mum.
Der of feet of common tin eavestrough
from the timers. Paint it thoroughly
with cheap red paint inside and out; it
will need repainting only once a season.
Place the troughs on wooden brackets a
few feet above the ground allowing for q
gentle fall. An inverted wooden trough
placed over the tin one and raised above
it few inches, being supported at the
brackets by blocks resting on the conduit,
will roof the little canal and keep out the
rain and dirt. At the factory end moth
ing should enter it but whey drawn from
the milk vats. The whey and milk and
slop ON the floor, which should be an i'm
pervious one, must drain off cleanly into
another painted tin trough similar to the
irst described, and never touch ground
till it has flown a safe distance from the
These troughs must be flushed
every day with hot water on the final
cleaning up. With them in use and a
light floor under and about the watts and
presses no offensive moisture can reach
he ground anywhere in the vicinity of
he premises. 1t is just as important to
have the atmosphere about milk pure as
is to have the vessel that holds it clean.

MAGAZINE NOTES

In his new book, "The Mountains"
which has just been brought out by
McClure-Phillips. Stewart Edward White
assumes the role of guide, philosopher
and friend. He himself enjoys SO thor
oughly the great outdoors that the love
of it has doubtless become a religion
which he takes pleasure in passing along.
Ostensibly, 1.-THE Mountains" is an ac-
count of an exciting camping trip in the
Sierra Nevada Mountains that Mr.. White
took a summer or so ago; but, with the ac-
count OF his adventures, Mr.. White man
ages to interweave lot of parctical in
formation about the methods and means
OF life on the trail that is sure to prove
infinitely value to anyone who cares for
mountaineering. Mr.. White is natural
and not hothouse lover OF nature; and all
his books, from "The Blazed Trail' to
''The Forest and ''The Mountains"
make one see added beauties in all things
Of the great outdoors. Clures Magazine
Rafford Pyke has not much use for the
mannish type of girl that is so much in
evidence to-day, and he has written q
very clever essay in the November Cosmo-
politan to uphold his opinion. ""When a
woman seeks to cultivate them," he says,
speaking of audacity, self-confdence, ag-
gressiveness, push and other masculine
traits, 'just because she likes them in q
man, she does so at the expense of other
and, to her, far more valuable elements OF
character, and even they fail her and de-
feat her purpose. Each sex has its own
gifts, and each should be content with
what it has and should give over borrow.
ing from the other" And then the
author proceeds to most interesting an
alysis of the chief characteristics of wo-
mans features, indicating wherein lies
strength and wherein weakness. An.
other "woman's article" in this same issue
is Mrs. Flora Macdonald Thompson's
"How To Live Within Your Income" in
which some sound economic horse-sense
is expressed in the most entertaining of
epigrammatic styles.
The cooking-receipt columns of the
woman's magazines have never been re-
garded as the place to look for graceful
and entertaining writing, and this is why |
considerable attention is being attracted |
to series of arcticles, .'Florinda's Din
ners," now appearing in The 1wentieth |
Century Home. The author, Grace Cor
niche, introduces US to the charming
Florinda, in whose education the culinary
art has not been neglected, and her hus-
band, whose first pleasure in life is to eat |
the meals prepared by bis talented spouse,
Florinda's dinners are indeed sufficient to
chain any man to his home, and Florinda /
tells how she got them up and cooked
them, in the course of q delightful narra-
tive. They are simple, yet most original.
One great value Of the series to the Amer
lean housewife is the description o: many
important economies in the. kitchen of
which most women are entirely unaware.
The November issue gives complete dir.
ections for two of FIorinda's dinners.
