To Prevent Milk Fever.
From the Scottish Farmer,

From the Scottish Farmer,
Parruren apoplexy-better known to cattle breeders
by the name of milk fever, dropping after calving-
has been the subject Of much discussion in the vetert
nary press Of recent months. Mr. r. j. Sankey South
Hi Ashford, Kent writes to say that If owners Of
dairy stock will follow the natural order Of things little
more closely neither they their cows would suffer
much from milk fever The best plan is to leave the
calf with its mother for the first three days and not to
touch her unless she is very heavy mixer in which
case take only small quantities of milk from her beyond
what the calf sucks at small intervals If the owner
objects to the two being together but prefers to remove
the calf at birth, then let him make quite certain that
the milk is drawn from the COW a little at a time and
often just as the offspring does in state Of nature If
the udder is never emptied until the calf is at least
three days DID, there is but little or no risk Of dropping
after calving.
The foregoing was told Mr.. Sankey many years ago
by large dairy farmer in Leicestershire who assured
hmAhe had not lost single since adopting that
system although he han previously lost several every
year, and Mr. Sankey's own experience is similar.

Apothecaries were once in the habit
OF using red light as a sign of their
trade. 1t so happened one night that
druggist found himself without the
necessary red light, SO as a substitute
he placed bottle of red liquid in the
window, with a candle behind 1t. He
was SO well pleased with the effect
that he placed another bottle of red
liquid in another window.
This sign made such brave show.
ing that an envious rival cast about
for means of improving the sign. He
hit upon the scheme of placing a bot.
tie Of yellow liquid by the side of the
red one and then surpassed his previ.
GUS efforts and carried all before him
by placing a green bottle by the side
Of the yellow one. The three made
sign which caught the approval Of the
town, and all the druggists quickly fol.
lowed in the footsteps of their more
original rivals.
The bottles were later replaced by
the handsome colored vases which are
now such familiar sign all over the
world

Children and EutmeRs,

Every careful mother" said a doc
tor who had just treated a child made
violently Ill from chewing a nutmeg,
should keep nutmegs as far out of
reach of her children as she does the
ammonia bottle or the carbolIc acid.
Nutmegs are deadly poison. l re-
member a case about six years ago
where boy eight years old died in
great agony after chewing and swal-
lowing two nutmegs. AS a general
thing small children do not like to in
terfere with pepper, ginger and SINH
lar aromatic spices left around in
kitchen cupboards. One taste is
enough usually. But it seems to be
fact that most children will chew nut
megs If they can get them"

RICE AS FOOD.
More Nutriment In the Cooked Water
Than In the Grains.

More Nutriment In the Cooked Water
Than In the Grains.
The rice grains that we eat and be-
Heve are nOurishing do not begin to
have the real nutriment that Is con-
tained In the water in which they
have been cooked.
For thousands Of years rice has been
the main food of the Chinese, Japa-
nese and even the Sikhs of India.
When we stop to think that these war
like nations compose one-third of the
human race and subsist largely on rice,
it seems probable that they thoroughly
understand its properties. But the orr
entails have found that the water that
we throw away after cooking the ce.
real Is what contains the greatest life
giving properties. In fact, they prefer
the water to the grain as a nutriment.
In cases Of stomach trouble, so prev
alent In the east, 1t Is used with great
effect and can be retained when even
milk Is rejected.
But for the Anglo-Saxon a delicious
dessert can be made from this same
rice water. After cooking the rice
drain the water and favor with some
extract. Set on the Ice to cool, and ii
will form a jelly. Heap with whipped
cream or fruit and serve. This makes
not only a tasty but nutritious dish
and certainly an economical one.

A stickIer For Etiquette.

DR.. Thompson, master Of Trinity col.
lege, Cambridge, was an exceedingly
cold and austere man, never taking
much notice Of the undergraduates un
der his care. On one occasion a Trinl
ty man happened to be out walking
and was caught in a storm. He ran
across a field and took shelter beneath
a large tree. When he arrived there,
he found, to his horror, that Dr..
Thompson was beneath 1t, seeking pro-
lection from the rain. For some time
both stood silent, watching the clouds,
till at last the undergraduate, growing
desperate, ventured to remark that he
thought 1t was clearing up a little.
"Sir," said the doctor haughtily, frown.
ing upon the wretched youth, "all com.
munications to the master of Trinity
must be made through the tutors"

: HINTS ABOUT HATS.
Preserve the Balance Between Your
Figure and Your Headuiece.

Figure and Your Headpiece.
DO not buy hat unless you have
tried 1t on before a cheval glass. II
must suit your figure as well as your
face. A very short woman is ridicu-
lous In an immense hat unless she Is
pretty and graceful enough to be pi-
quaint On the other hand, woman
who is far too tall is nothing less than
overwhelming in a huge picture hat.
There is a certain balance between the
headpiece and the figure, and this bal
ance must be preserved. Your own
good taste will guide you in this mat
Ter.
Color has laws so subtle that only
long study can make you sure Of them.
The general laws are affected by a
slight tint Of complexion. You must
learn the colors that are yours, and
then never, on peril Of your beauty,
depart from them. You have day col.
ors and evening colors, dark and light
colors, and you must know what they
are.
The old rule Of match your hair BY
day and your eyes by night is now re-
garded as almost meaningless. Ex-
pertinent proved Its mistakes in many
cases.
In general, the dead white hat should
be worn by none except the girl with
dark hair and delicate complexion and
is therefore the most difficult of all
hats. The black hat is safe for almost
any one and can be worn by many
whose skin is too dark to permit of
black below the face. Black above
and white below the face are inclined
to make sallow woman look fairer.--

Too Long For His Bunk,

During the American civil war there
was an assistant surgeon In the navy
six feet four inches high, who was
serving on board the PenobscOt, which
was only five feet eight inches between
decks. The doctors bunk was scant
six feet in length, so that he was un-
comfortable even In lying down. In
bad weather, on the blockade, when
the spray was breaking over the ship
the doctor was deprived even Of the
comfort Of uncoiling on deck. After
considering the matter thoroughly and
remembering that long letters to the
department were not always read and
not always considered, he wrote as
follows
Hon. Gideon Wells. Secretary of the
Navy:
sir-Length Of surgeon, 8 feet 1; heigh,
Of wardroom, feet s. Respectfully,
L. c. YER MULLEN,
Assistant Surgeon.
The department promptly dispatched
him until such time as more suitable
ship could be found for his assign
ment."-Chicago News.

Too much starchy food Is eaten In
many households. Potatoes are served
with every meal, and they are usually
mashed or boiled. 1t is we'll to sub
stitute rice, hominy and macaroni for
potatoes two or three times a week at
the very least and better still to omit
any of these at many meals. Fried
hominy is delicious substitute for
potatoes when chicken Is served. Boil
the hOminy in the usual way, pour 1t
into a shallow dish to cool and slice
pieces half an inch thick. Flour light
ly and fry in chicken fat or butter and
drippings. This is an excellent break
fast or luncheon dish served with ma
pie sirup or chicken gravy.
