What He DID to sHamle<.~

A group of actors at the Players
club were once engaged In a discus
sion al to the ability and im~partiality
Of certain professional critics Of the
drama. when Maurice Barrymore re-
ferred to a certain Denver journalist
who was widely known for his dra-
matte criticisms. Hayward" said
Nh. Barrymore. was certainly one Of
the ablest Of them. He wrote most
learnedly, with the keenest analysis
OF every phase Of the actors art, and.
above all, with no little wit. I am just
reminded Of what was perhaps the
briefest dramatic criticism ever
penned. It will probably outlive
everything else Hayward did. It ran
about as follows:
"'George @. Min, the preacher-actor,
played Hamlet" at the Tabor Grand
Opera House last night. He played It

Devonshire is known to the world
for its superstitious usages, which defy
all efforts to uproot them. To name
only one example, when a person dies
all the relatives must touch the body
or they will be haunted by the ghost
Of the dead forever after. A supsrst-
ton not so local in its observance Is
that of beginning nc task on a Friday.
The writer recently encountered a girl
who, receiving notice to change from
one room to another on Friday. insisted
upon doing it on Thursday instead.
But the most curious instance Of super
stttion-and this, too, is met with much
nearer home than Devon-is surely that
which prescribes that when, say, q do
nestle servant has broken a piece OF
crockery she is bound by fate to break
two other pieces. So far is this idea
carried that the writer knows a case
where fowerpots are kept for the spe-
cial purpose Of being broken to ap-
pease the fates.-London Chronicle

The Hin0OO Mother

The relation Of a Hindoo husband to
his wife Is not like a contract san
toned by the court Of Justice, but 1t II
a permanent spiritual relation which
binds two souls together. A wife Is re-
garded. therefore, as a true helpmate
in the spiritual progress OF the soul
life Of her husband, while a faithful
husband IL considered to be the great
est blessing in the earthly and spiritual
career Of his wife. When she becomes
q mother she represents divine mother
hood and holds a unique position in the
household.
A Hindoo mother is actually wor-
SHIPPED as a living goddess by her chill
dren. The children are taught to obey
their parents implicitly and to serve
them like earthly deities as long as
they live. To support the parents In
their old age, to look after their well
fare and to fulfill their desires are the
duties Of children in every Hindoo
household. But a mother is considered
to be greater than a thousand ia
thers."-Swami Abhedananda in Good
Housekeeping.

FALL CARE OF cows.

value OF the Silo In Helping Out
short Pastures.
It is too late now t. think of grow
ing anything this year to help out short
pastures, says an Iowa farmer In Amer
lean Agricultural. Farmers must
learn to plan six or nine months ahead.
But II short pastures do come the farm
er can cut up field or sweet corn and
do some soiling. While that is hard
work and takes too much time, It Is
better than to let a good herd run dry.
A milk flow lost is practically gone for.
the year. The best way, of course, Is
to have the cows dry during the hot
months. But that Is not always pos
sible. Silage Is the cheapest feed to
supplement short pastures, but those
who have none must do something
else.
About the only relief for the man
who has not planned to have feed for
just this very time Is for him to feed
some grain at the barn or cut up green
clover, sweet corn or field corn.
One Of the most noticeable things
on most every farm Is the poor con-
dition Of the pasture. Men who do
not feed silage in winter are In a hurry
to get the COWS on grass. Cattle are
hungry for succulent feed, and they
manage to keep the grass short from
the very start. This causes the grass
crop to be short at the season when 1t
Is not making growth, and, as a result,
the cows half starve. When fall rains
revive the dormant grass, the cows are
poor. 1t takes all the fall to get them
back into condition again. It does not
pay to overstock or to rush cattle on
spring pastures before they can sup
port the herd nicely. This Is a strong
argument in favor Of the silo for both
winter and summer feeding.

PERIOD or
Cows should he MIXED About Ten
Months Of the Year.

| Cows should he MIXED About Ten
Months Of the Year.
In well managed dairies each COW Is
| MIXED about ten months Of the year;
the remainder OF the twelvemonth she
IL said to be dry" writes a CORE
spondent of American Cultivator.
Where the dairyman sells milk to GUS
toners he endeavors to have a small
part Of his herd dry at a time, SO that
there will always be enough cows to
supply his trade. An incidental ad-
vantage of this Is that the milk from
fresh cows Is added to that from those
more advanced in the milking period
and the changes due to the time Of
~lactation are avoided in the mixed
milk, which Is thus kept Of uniform
quality. AS the period Of ~lactation
progresses there Is a tendency to grad
ually increase in the total solids. Nu-
merous observations have shown that
the yield decreases quite steadily from
middle Of the lactation period, after
which 1t is fairly constant.
This shrinkage In yield Is accompa-
MED by an increase In the percentage
Of fat and the physical condition of the
milk Is SO altered that the cream rises
less easily. Discard every COW that
goes dry Of her own accord. While
she should be dry four to eight weeks
previous to calving, she should be put
dry. Ten weeks before calving cut
most Of the grain food for the COW,
and, II In winter, all roots and succu-
lent food. After q week of this treat
ment milk her once a day and another
week every other day, then stop. You
must stop some time, for If you con-
tinue to milk the COW is bound to re-
spond. Sometimes two or three days
after stopping, II you find the udder
caking, milk out a little to ease 1t, but
generally this does not happen. At
six weeks or a month before calving
she should be thoroughly dry. Many
farmers continue to milk the COW regu-
larry up to within three or four weeks
Of calving. At this time the cow has,
as It were, begun to freshen. and II
they stop then trouble ensues and the
udder Is likely to be spoiled. If the
COW Is not dry for four weeks before
calving, better keep on milking the rest
of the period, but I am satisfied that
you can get more pounds Of milk from
q 10Y by milking her ten months in a
year than by milking her twelve. At
the same time, If the cow continues to
secrete milk 1t must be drawn. None
should be forced to 60 dry against EVIL
dent natural resistance to so doing.

The idea that milk cows should not

why IL Was Forbidden In Ancient
Rome and England.
Games depending partly on skill
and partly on hazard, with a view to
the pecuniary gain" were forbidden
BY the Romans both under republic
and empire. This was not done be-
cause these games tended to demon
alize the populace, but because 1t tend
ed to render them effeminate and I'M
manly. During the %saturnalia, which
was a period Of license, these games
were permitted. Rome was wide
open" then. And a like indulgence at
other seasons was extended to the old
men both among the Greeks and the
Romans. 1t was one Of the privileges
Of age. Tacitus mentions the existence
Of the vice Of gambling among the an
cient Germans.
In England, as in Rome, gambling
was prohibited, not because 1t demon
allied, but because 1t rendered its dew
otees effeminate. An act passed In
1b41 had In view the double object Of
maintaining the artillery and debar-
ring unlawful games" An act passed
during the reign Of Queen Anne de-
clared that all bonds or other securi-
ties given for money won at play or
money lent at the time to play with
should be utterly void, and all mort
cages or membranes on lands made
on the same consideration should be
made over to the use Of the mortgageor.
This continued to be the law until 1S45.
