His Limitations.

The petted young beauty in the car
riage looked with dismay at the mud
that lay between her and the side
walk.
Il think 1t was Sir Walter Raleigh
she said. that threw his cloak upon
the ground. on certain memorable oc-
casion, in order that his queen might
not get her shoes muddy"
you're my queen. all right" replied
the young man in the case. but if
Sir Walter Raleigh had been a clerk
on a salary of So week he would
have done exactly what I'm going to

Whereupon he carried her to the
sidewalk-but he did it so nicely that
she forgaye him.

The Pie Libel.

A piece Of pie is not necessarily. a
death warrant. 1t depends on what it
is made of and how it is made. Pie
proper should represent an unobjec-
tionable combination of fruit and
bread
The word pastry" however, covers
Il multitude Of dietetic sins. Flour and
fat rolled into couple of soggy layers,
between which spiced meats, chopped
with more fat, mingled with raisins
and other fruits and moistened with
cognacs-this may be pastry, but it is
libel on pie.
A crust made reasonably tender with
sweet cream, olive oil or fresh butter
or with half butter and half beef Suet
(the soft variety. with sufficient bak-
ing powder or cream of tartar and
soda to make it light and porous, filed
with wholesome fruit OF berries-this
is pie, and it is quite as digestible and
harmless as the ordinary bakers loaf

relegated to the limbo of other les

CarIyIe's Courteous Side.

In the ''Retrospects'' of Professor
William Knight of the University of
st. Andrews are some interesting anec-
dotes. Among these is bit from let
ter by DR.. Maclagan, who attended
Thomas Carlyle during Carlyle's last
years: MY personal experience of Car
lyle was this: He was the most courte-
Gus man [ ever met. Never once did
that old man fail to rise up to receive
me nor allow me to leave his room
without walking to the door with me
while he had strength to do SO. After
death all the ruggedness and the wrin-
kles disappeared from his face. But
for the beard it was like that Of wo-
man, SO delicate and beautifully mold
ed it was.''

The good dairy cow doesn't belong
to any breed exclusively, but is found
in all breeds, says w. A. Peterson in
Farm, Stock and Home. The first
requisite of dairy cow is large feed
ing powers. The more raw material
she can make use of, other things be-
ing equal, the better the COW. An ami
mails feeding capacity can be closely
ascertained by it's conformation, it de-
pending largely upon the size Of the
middle or barrel. The first and most
important point in determining the
size of the barrel is depth of body
through the middle; then come length
of body from shoulder to hook points
and it's breadth through the middle. A
broad muZZle and strong jaw are also
desirable.

Divorce In Turkey.

A woman in the sultan's realm when
divorced from her husband is not
treated with cOntumely and often mar
ries again. A husband simply says to
his wife, Il have divorced you" She
leaves him. and he tells the same to
the cadi, who gives to him a paper of
written enforcement. If it is the first
or second time that this has occurred
he may take her back again without
any formality ensuing, but after a
third divorce she will be lost to him
forever. Men abuse this license and
sometimes divorce their wives for
very small fault, like bad dinner or
q button unsewed, each knowing that
if he repents he can have his wife back
before evening. 1t is not uncommon
that wife is divorced from five hUs-
bands and lives with a sixth.

Cookery and Government.

ROssini, the Italian composer, is re-
ported to have said droll thing on
the unificatiOn of Italy when some one
asked his opinion on this matter. He
replied that he thought it very difficult
if not impossible to effect it for the
simple reason that the Neapolitans eat
nothing but macaroni, the Florentines
nothing but ia giuoli and the Lombards
only polenta. while the Piedmontese
swallow all they can get. ut it clear"
he said that uniformity of cookery
must precede unity of government"

Her Mistake.

1T is told Of the witty old French
able, Pere Monsabre, that on one &C.
casion a lady sent message to him,
just as he was entering the pulpit.
that she must see him. After much
beating about the bish. she came to
the point. Vanity was her besetting
sin, and only that morning she had
yielded to the temptation OF gazing at
herself in the mirror and thinking she
was very pretty. Pere Monsabre look
ed at her steadily for minute, and
then, in bis soft. musical voice, he in

been so often raped by Senator Hoar

sharp things at his expense.
When the Conkling-Garfield episode
came up Hoar was so disguised with
the mana cement of the affair that he
threatened to resign his seat. The

WATER FOR THE COWS.
The Amount Is Determined by Their
Size and Yield.

How much water does a milk cow
need daily: The size and yield of the
COW are the main things that deter
ger yielder need more water than the
smaller COW and the smaller yielder.
says j. L. Van Doren in New York
Farmer.
Ordinarily the small COW drinks from
six to eight gallons of water in TWEEN
ty-four hours, and the large COW drinks
from seven to nine gallons. There is
no fixed measure, as no two COWS, even
of the same breed or of the same
weight or on the same rations of the
same feed and yielding practically the
same quantity of milk of the same
quality, will drink exactly the same
quantity of water.
/ have one small cow that seems to
be satisfied with five gallons of water
a day, while another one of her weight
takes seven gallons. A neighbor has
large Holstein-Friesian cow that
drinks over ten gallons a day and an
other quite as large that takes only
eight and half gallons.
My experience is that the younger
cows require more water and that
there is a decrease each year in the
water taken as the cow grows older.
In some cases even this does not hold
good A COW out of sorts will drink
more Or less as she is chilly or fever
ish.
Indigestion, pasturage, changes in ra-
ton, irregularity in feeding and milk
ing and the amount of exercise are fac
tors that influence the drinking of the
milk COW. The character Of the food
has much influence. Dry foods call
for more water. Succulent food car
ries it's own water largely. The cow
on pasture needs less and drinks less
water than the cow ON dry feed. In
providing a supply of water for herd
it is we'll to furnish the water and let
the COWS measure their drinks for
themselves. Then they will get the
proper amount at the proper time.
Running water and individual drinking
vessels in the stalls will solve the prob
lem of water and drinking perfectly.

J. Il. Danko in an address delivered
before the Wisconsin dairymen's con-
yention said:
AS to the care of the dairy COW, Que
Of the best general rules to observe is
to keep the COW as comfortable ana
contented as possible. II the cow is
not comfortable and contented the
owner will always be the loser. If the
cows are allowed to stand out i'll the
cold during severe weather certain
amount of food will be required TO
keep the body warm, which had she
been in a warm stable would have
been transformed into milk and butter.
In order to succeed as q dairyman 4
person must be in sympathy with his
cattle. He must be a keen observer
and thorough with his work even to
the smallest detail and have love for
his stock that will cause him to work
from early in the morning until late at
night if need be in ministering to the
wants of his cattle, SO that they may
be comfortable and cOntented.
During the winter they should be
Kept in comfortable stalls in a warm,
well ventilated stable and let out for a
short time on pleasant days for exer-
else. If it is necessary to turn them
out for water a tank heater should be
used to keep the ice from gathering on
the trough, and the cows should be
put back into the stable as soon as
possible when the weather is severe or
stormy.
Improving the Dairy Herd.
A good cow is good cow, no mat
ter what her breed may be- Therefore
let the farmer choose the dairy breed
that he considers best suited to his
conditions and stick to it. This is the
opinion expressed by w. A. Clemens
in Farmers Advocate Let him breed
his selected COWS to the best availa-
BILE bull of tn; breed and continue to
grade up his lid to higher degree Of
excellence year by year.
The practice followed by some farm
ers of using bulls, first of one breed
and then Of another, is fatal to all
plans for building up uniform, hand
some and profitable herd of grade cows,
and that is just what most farmers re-
Quire. 1t was breeding with a pur-
pose in view that enabled the late E.
d. Tilison of Ontario to build up a
working herd Of dairy cows that was
probably unequaled in Canada. One
Of his grade cows produced 2O132
pounds of milk in year, five others
gave from $4,000 to 1862 pounds, and
the whole herd of sixty-five COWS made
a yearly average of nearly 10000
pounds.

Marriage.

Marriage is not the church, the ritual,
the blessing Of clergymen or the rati-
flying and approving presence of ones
friends and relations at the ceremony.
Still less is it matter of settlements
and expensive millinery. 1t is the TAX
ing of a solemn VOW before the throne
Of the eternal. Nothing can make mar
riage an absolutely sacred thing except
the great love. combined with the pure
and faithful intention of fulfilling the
VOW invoived-Marie Corelli.
