the Rhrewd lawyers OF Chaneery lane
changed their tactics.
They read him. and saw that. like
most Americans. he was chivalrous
wherever womankind was concerned
So they drew his attention to the
will again. and showed him that
should this marriage on which the tos-
tator had set his heart as a means Of
bringing the two transatlantic
branches Of the family together again
fail TO be consummated. the vast prop
erty was to pass into the hands OF
the Society for the Amelioration of
the Condition Of the Tiottentots.
Having fastened his attention here.
they showed him over the noble es-
tate. and Jacs really was quite smit-
ten with its charms.
Then the lawyers explained 10 him
that in case of his refusal to carry
out the conditions OF the will. the
young woman would be left penniless.
even though it were not her fault the
arrangement fell through
Thus Jack was made to see what
depended on him. and how ungallant
it would be on his part to force this
state OF poverty upon her.

girl.

IN CROWDED CITY QUARTERS.

been in the city before. While there he.
went With other representatives over

swarm in the lenemcnts, more people
IN one house than in n rural village,
and more inhabitants in n block than
IN a goods sized country town." There
he saw the push-carts laden with
vegetables M and where the food
supply of the quarter is sold. u
farmer declared that he would not feed
such stuff as was sold to his pigs. He
found that the decaSed fruit and veget-
ables We're sold at prices from four to
ten times as great as he received for
the fresh II wholesome produce of his
own farm and garden, this is what
he said:
Its a pity we cannot get these peo-
pie to come up our way. We pay $25
and $50 4 month and board, and even
then we cannot get ii. labor we need.
How much better it would be for them
and us both if they would take their
families, and go to the country and
work on the farms. l will be more
contented with farming after this. This

SORE A IN COWS.

While there are Il number of causes for
sore teats in COWS, ii is safe to say that
in nine cases out of ten the trouble is due
TO dirt on the hands of the mixer coming
IN contact with Il scratch on the teat of
the COW which may be easily gotten in the
pasture. 1t is also safe to say that nine
tenths of the troubles with the udder and
teats might be avoided with proper atten-
ton TO cleanliness: cleanliness in groom
ing the COW and keeping her bag and teats
from soil. and cleanliness on the part of
the mixer, hands clean and warm instead
OF rough. cold and dirty. 1t takes but a
few minute TO wipe the udder and teats
dry with a soft cloth after gently washing
them if badly soiied during the night. This
handling of the ndder. especially If it is
fun, will relieve the strain and the COW
will give down the milk more readily in
