THE MODEL STALL.

one side entirely removed. 1t may be
as narrow as one pleases, but the width
and length should be proportioned to
the size of the occupant. We do not
consider three and one-half feet any
too much room for the COW of average
size. The construction of this stall is
such that when standing the rack in
front forces the COW back few inches,
so that all droppings fall well to the
rear. The bar across the stall at the
rear should be fastened to the floor
just in front of the cows hind feet
when standing with her head to the
rack This bar serves the double pur-
pose of retaining the bedding in place
and of encouraging the COW to move
forward when about to lie down, bring
ing her head under the projecting rack.
The bottom of this rack should be
from thirty-five to forty inches above
the floor. A shallow manger may ex-
tend across the full width Of the stall
in place of the slanting box.
The COW is fastened with q halter
about the head, and instead of remov-
ing the headpiece every time the COW
is to be loosened attach a stout safety
snap to the end Of the rope and snap
this into the ring under the throat let
ting the COW wear the headpiece all
the time.
Aim of the Holstein Breeders.
The aim of the Observation-Disclosures
breeders is to produce milk fit for all
purposes-for home, village or city con-
sumption, for cheese factory or butter
factory, for the production of cream
for the creamery, for ice cream or for
village and city use, and the Babcock
test and centrifugal separator enable
him to do all this.-M. Fl. Gardner in

GOOD THINGS ABOUT CATS.
Feline Is One of the Most Fastidious
Animals About His Toilet.

"There has been so much talk about
cats in the newspapers and in pseudo
scientific circles of late and about the
way in which they spread all kinds of
disastrous and deadly contagious.
said the cats friend In the New Or
leans TfmessD that 1t is real
" refreshing to find in print anything
that Is at all good about the feline.
Recently the cat was put on the out
laved list in Washington. Doctors
and scientists have been urging fol
some time the claim that the cat was
an unclean thing and the scatterer OF
diseases.
aft is a bit cheering in this waste
of pessImism to turn to the following
in the London Mail, in defense OF the
cat: The most fastidious mammals
in matters of the toilet are to be
found among the members OF the cat
family, as all must have noticed IN
domestic Tables The rough tongue
makes an excellent brush, while the
sharp claws are on occasion employed
by way of combs, all these Invaluable
aids to cleanliness and BmartRsss pos
sessing the further advantage Of al
WAYS being at hand when required. A
healthy cat IS not only clean, but
fnical. not TO say vain, about her Tor
his) personal appearance. And moral
degeneration in pussy is accompanied
nv neglect of personal grooming. That
tb,9 dog is as dirty as boy must re-
luctantly be confessed. He was the
first animal TO be domesticated, and
long association with man has per
hans had to do with his carelessness
in the matter
"If this view is correct all this talk
about cats being such dangerous mem
hers must be a little wrong. My own
view of the matter is that the cat IS
not the bad and dangerous member he
is supposed to be. He Is cleaner than
the dog. according to the English
view. and this is no doubt the correct
view, though the reason assigned by
the paper quoted, namely, that long
association with men and boys = re-
sponsible for the dogs uglier ways, is
probably not to be accepted literally
Still-but l was speaking Of cats"

Meaeur.no Sunshine.

Sunshine Is so rare in England that
the government takes great care to
measure 1t. The official summing up
for 1903 as regards sunshine shows
that all districts in the British Isles,
with one exception, fell short of the
average. The exception was England
northwest, including Manchester, that
curiously had an excess Of ffty-seven
sunny hours. Ia Scotland north, west
and east the deficit was eighty-one
hours, forty-eight hours, and 1SS
hours. England northwest and east
were short 107 hours and 139 hours,
while in England south and southwest
the deficit was sixty-eight hours and
115 hours. The Midlands were behind
by ninety-eight hours. In Ireland
north and south the shortage was
eighty-one hours and 113 hours. Com
monty the islands in the English
Channel have a large share of sun
shine, but last year they went short
by 1875 sunny hours.

New Works Antiquities.

Next to the horse cars, which are
still conspicuous in some Of the most
travelled cross streets IN New York,
the most surprising antiquities Of the
town are the little, old Long Island
ferry boats. They carry passengers
from rhirtyfourth street and from
lanes Slip to Long Island City-a
lot of passengers every day, for the
ferry is one of the most important
that touches New York, and that
means one of the most important in
the world. 1t Is so important that
some time or other 1t is to be super
seeded by bridge or tunnel, or both,
and plans to that intent are under
stood to be in process of execution.
But it will be years before they are
done. and meanwhile these little old
antiquities attempt TO carry back and
forth the swarms of people who must
go. Forty or fifty years ago when
the boats were young they we're fair
" I'D to their business, but New York
has gained millions of population
since then, and it's passenger traffic
with Long Island City has increased
enormously. To see the game little
veterans walk up to their loads Is
one of the sights of the town, and
travellers stopping at the nearby AS
toria often go down TO the ferry house
to look on-Harper's Weekly.

ROUDOIR Chat.

A clever woman traveller mended
rent in her gown by using a hair from
her head as thread for the needle she
always carries in her purse.
1t is easy enough to go around an OBJ
stinate man, as every woman knows.
All YOU have to do is to fool him into
the belief that he is having his own
way.
When society girls set to work to
think up new fad, why don't they
invent useful One-running the lawn
mower for instance?
OF course, there are fewer marriages
TIM usual, this year. The girls don't
want everybody tc think that they
did the proposing.
When a girl kisses another girl in
public she generally thinks all the
young men who are looking on are en-
vious, but sometimes she's mistaken.
Girls should know how to make good
bread; to cook all kinds of meats, vege-
tables and fruits; to make the incest
buckwheat cakes in the world, and to
cut and make their own dress.
When a man comes to you and wants
to borrow s., you can't win his graft
tude by giving him good advice about
economy instead.
1t doesn't make any difference what
good poetry woman can write, her
home isn't going to be happy if she
can't make good bread and Johnny
cake.
To be successful in the society swim,
1t is necessary to have a large bank
account for a life preserVer.
A diamond shoulder strap is the last
addition to the fashionable woman's
jewel case. 1t is made in some elegant
scroll design, and finishes at the back,
where it fastens to the top of the
corsage with a couple of single stone
drops. In front it hangs several inches
lower, and ends in a tassel studded and
fringed with gems.
Don't worry the children. Don't
worry about them. Guardian angels
still exist, even in the twentieth CEN
fury. Don't lose your temper with the
children, and don't give way when you
have decided on any plan for them.

A HIGH VIEW OF MARRIAGE.

The industrial view of marriage
makes it at least a business partner
ship in which the woman is entitled
to her share of the profits and so sat
isles the instinct for fair play. a
well-knOwn writer on feminine social
economics considers that q high stand
ard of marriage is best maintained
by husband and wife alike earning
money outside of the home, even If the
woman earns no more than she might
save by doing her own work at home.
But if a wife's contribution in hours
of labor inside of her home can be
reckoned of equal pecuniary value to
that done for some one else's home
housework can no longer be considered
mental. However it may be, the view
Of marriage as an industry is not mega
lived by a wife's working at home
instead of being employed elsewhere,
end if marriage is really an industry,
the feminine conscience may be SO
stimulated thereby, that frivolity,
selfishness, laziness and nervous pros
tration may cease under the strenuous
ness of honest doing.-Boston Trans

Three Strikes.

The old adage that lightning never
strikes twice in the same place" has
often been disproved. Here is an in
stance in point: in the summer of
1884 the farmhouse of Henry AXtell
in Chemung County, N. Y, was struck
by lightning three times in one day.
First it split the chimney from top
to bottom, ruined stove and pipe and
bored several holes in the floor. An
hour later bolt struck the same
house and tore a milk bench, upon
which several cans of milk were set
ting, all to pieces. The same evening
a third flash entered the roof and
tore~the legs from a bedstead.-Mid'

THE STATURE OF WOMEN.

In one respect the women OF to-day
are approaching the angelic standard
namely, in stature. Angels, as shown
in pictures, are always tall. The azure
ole and wings, it is feared, are beyond
reach. Another popularity of the heav-
emily messengers, which earthly young
ladies are not likely to initiate, is that
they never wear shoes-not even san
dals. SO far as their fair hair is con-
cerned, it may be couiterfeited with
the help of peroxide, but, if Professor
Masons theory be correct, the time is
not far distant when a real blonde
will be such rarity that artists who
paint angels will have trouble to OBJ
tain a satisfactory model.
