A DEMAND FOR MllKMAlDS.

~SOSOS~SN~N~~N
A big dairy farmer was talking
about a Polish farm hand who had
been in this country only three months
and had proved himself to be far
above the average laborer at nearly
every kind of work on the farm. II
never saw a better man in the field"
he said. than Stanislaus. l hear he
has done Il mans work on the farm
since he was twelve years old, but
he has never MIXED Il cow" The New
York Sun gives the farmers views in
regard to the Importance of milking:
In his country milking is work for
the women to do. If q Polish peas
ant man is seen milking he is asked if
he has forgotten to put on his petit
coat. Stanislaus says he is perfectly
willing to learn, but / don't know that
he will make good mixer, willing as
he is.
Many American farmers seem to
think that almost anybody can milk,
but our dairymen are beginning to
learn better. A mixer must be clean,
and he must be quiet and gentle. An
expert mixer must have one other
very impOi ant qualification He must
be quick. The quicker the milking,
the richer the milk. if the work is done
well and completely.
| am inclined to think that it might
be better for our American dairy inter-
ests if milking were a part of wom-
ans work, as it is in many European
countries. The dairymen of England
are doing everything they can to per-
petuate the custom of employing wom-
en- instead of men as mixers, and to
maintain the efficiency of milkmaids.
We never hear of dairy show in
England nowadays without its popular
milking contest, in which the milk
maids contest with one. another. These
contests are the talk of the British
dairy districts, and are proving to be
very useful. | shall not be surprised
II, in the course of the next ten years,
the milkmaids of America become very
much more numerous. Perhaps q lot
of the prize winning maids of Eng
land should be imported to arouse the
emulation of their American sisters.

ICE AT THE EQUATOR.
1t Is to Be Seen if One Mill Risk the
Ascent of Mountains.

1t must be almost inconceivable
even to many people who have been
TO the equator, that within the swell
tering barbarism of the tropics there
are places where there is any guam
tity Of ice and snow. Natural ice.
moreover, and not the dirty apology
for it which is manufactured, and re-
garded now as necessity by the
white people, who are gradually crowd
ing into the languid warmth perennial
ly filling the equat orial portions of the
earth.
Right on the equator there are both
ice and snow covering wide districts,
where, as in an English January mid
night, 1.-The air bites shrewdly and il
is very cold" The law that as we
ascend the air gets cooler and cooler
about degree for every hundred feet
holds good in the tropics as we'll as in
temperate climates, and thus it is
merely a question of the existence Of
sufficient high land anywhere to insure
the presence of both frost and snow.
AS matter of act, if we look at a
spherical map of the earth, or a globe,
the line where snow lies perpetua!ly
rises in a great curve, which begins at
the sea level within the arctic circles
and rises and rises over the equator
to height of between 1900 and IA
900 feet. In the British Isles this line
passes but a few hundred feet above
the tops of the Scotch Mountains, and
it strikes the Alps about 1000 feet
above the sea.
The Alps and the Caucasus, the
Pyrenees and the Himalayas and the
desolate arctic wastes are always COW
cred with ice and snow above certain
heights and above certain ATTITUDES;
but all In these extra tropical regions
the snow and the ice shrink and ex-
pand as the seasons wax and wane,
the snow of the arctic extending the
winters over wide areas in the tenn
perate regions, while from the high
mountains the snow fields invade the
deep forests and the cultivated areas
in the valleys every time the winter
sets in-Pearson's Magazine.

WHERE ONE CAN LIVE CHEAPLY.
Portugal Is the Best Place in Europe
for Those of Small Means.


for Those of Small Means.
Men with limited means and q de-
sire TO enjoy all the comforts and
most of the luXuries of life should go
to Portugal. That is the cheapest
country in the world for the tourist,
while the resident there can have a
good time by the expenditure of very
little money. An American visitor can
live there in good style on the equiv
alent of the mere daily tips exacted
in French and English hotels.

cannot help thinking it is sheer rob-
berry to eat even half of the menu.
An Englishman stayed over night at
country inn near Lisbon. The din
ner, served especially for him In the
evening, comprised macaroni soup,
roast veal with pork and spinach, pes
cada (sardine-fed hake), a roast chick
en- with salad, cakes, ounce preserves,
fruit and coffee.
He had good room for the night,
and in the morning was served with
a breakfast Of coffee and buttered
toast Then the landlord presented
his bill, with profound apologies and
compliments. 1t amounted to 81 cents
in American money.

How a Progressive
Farmer Fools His Hens

the hen begins to show signs OF
uneasiness and stirs the noisy egg
around with her bill, thinking,
perhaps, that it was already time
for it to hatch and there is a
chicken in it wanting to get out.
She grows more and more nervous
as the noise keeps up, and soon
Jumps off the nest and runs

gets worse and worse with her,
and she wiggles about and cack-
les. rufies her feathers and looks
wild, until at last, with frenzied
squawk, she abandons the nest for
good and all. That incubatlng fe-
yer is broken up completely.
This progressive gentleman at
various times finds use for half a
dozen of these noisy eggs, and
claims that they pay for their cost
over and over during the year by
keeping the hens at the business
of laying and not permitting them
to waste the golden hours in use

London and Paris Cabs.

The statement made by the Figa
70 to the effect that 1000 Paris
cabs are to be provided with auto
matte time and distance registers
directs attention to the comparative
conservatism of English cab pro
prietors. 1t is a somewhat surpris
ing fact that, although rubber tree
cabs appeared in London at time
when public conyeyanceS in Paris
ran scarcely more smoothly than
country wagons, the great majority
of London cabs are still tired with
metal, whereas it is impossible in
Paris to hire cab which is not fit
ted with pneumatics. As for time
and distance registers, one fears
that they must be regarded as be-
vond the widest dreams Of the Lon
doner's ambition.-London Globe.
