NEW ORLEANS WINE CELLAR
Fine After Dinner Tale That Lacked
the Element Of Geographical
Experience.

A lady newly arrived in Washington, Of
great wealth, was at dinner few nights
ago and amazed everybody by telling the
brand and vintage of rare wine without
seeing the bottle or label, says a WASH
ington correspondent of the New York
World.
How can you do IT." she was asked.
oh" she replied, 'I was born in New
Orleans, you know, and was raised there.
When was slip of girl my father used
to take me down into his great wine cellar
bottles. He taught me all about wines
down in those gloomy caves"
After the dinner the hostess said to her
husband: Wasn't it interesting to hear.
Mrs. So,and-So tell about her fathers wine
cellars"
Absolutely great 1t was simply fine.
You know, there isn't cellar in New
Orleans"

MODERN MILK BUSINESS.
Conducted on an Entirely Different
Plan from That of Few
Years Ago.

In talk to farmers, Ira o. Johnson,
of Michigan, said. The modern milk
business is certainly very differently
conducted business than the ancient.
Since the teachings of our bacteriolo.
gists have come to be recognized as
something the ordinary mind can COM
prehend, and the relation of the keep
ink qualities and healthfulness of milk
to cleanliness can be measured by bac-
THEOLOGICAL research, the standard Of
the milk for city consumption has
been materially raised. While there
is a great chance for improvement in
general in nearly every city of any size
there will be found some one catering to
the best class of customers.
The demand for a better grade OF
milk is constantly increasing, as the
people are becoming educated to the
fact that there is liability to con.
tract disease by the use of filthy milk.
In the past, our dairy schools have
made a great effort to turn out men
who could select good cow and feed
balanced rations that would make a
good record for the COW or herd by
getting large flow of milk. While
such conditions are desirable and ne
cessary, l am of the opinion that in.
structions along the lines of cleanli-
ness in milk production should be given
great prominence. The man who can
produce milk which will sell from so to
100 per cent. more than the ordinary
product on the market is doing human
ity more good, and getting just as well
paid for his labor, besides having the sat
isfactlon of knowing that he is helping
to raise the standard of the dairy busi-
ness and make it what it should be, a
profession, instead of what it is general
ly considered, something that anyone
can do If they are not qualified for any
thing else.

New Names for Old Ships.

New names have been selected for
four old warships which have outlived
their usefulness as fighting machines.
The New Hampshire, built in 1918 and
now used by the naval militia of the

Granite State, in order that New Hamp-
shire may be used as the name of one of
the new warships. The Dale. now used
by the naval militia of Maryland at Bal
timore, will be renamed the Oriole. The
old sloop-of-war st. Louis, built in
Washington in 1928 and now used by the
naval militia of Pennsylvania at Phila-
delphia, will be named the Keystone
State, The cruiser Iroquois. which Is to
be transferred to the marine hospital

Pruning may be done on mild days.

MAscoTs IN THE ARMY.
Royal Goat Was Famous Mascot Of
Battalion of Welsh Fu-
sileers.

On some of the ships Of the United
States navy a goat is an honored mem
ber of the ships company, and the pet
and mascot" of the crew.
In some regiments of the army also
an animal mascot is maintained,
though the custom is not so general
with us as with our British cousins,
with whom it is very old.
One celebrated and much travelled
mascot, Billy, the goat of the Second
battalion royal Welsh fusileers, recent
ly died on the march from Chakrata
to Agra. He was presented by Queen
Victoria to the regiment in 1894, and
came from Windsor home park. Billy
had, therefore, served with the battal-
ion for ten years and accompanied
them to Malta, Egypt, Crete, Hong
kong and India. The first goat was
presented by Queen Victoria so long
ago as the year 1899.

them; says | mustn't put foot on the
encampment ground while they are
here"
Never mind" she said, soothingly,
maybe he will change his mind"
Florence soon left the house; she must
give vent to her feelings by eXpatiating
on Judge Wells tyranny in the hearing
of her own indulgent parents and her
other friends. And even this was not
sufficient for relief; later she found it
necessary to relate the whole story,
with many little touches, to every young
officer and private with whom it was her
pleasure to carry on an innocent tiirta-
ton. Agnes, languishing in her old
ancestral home, was to her like the
beautiful castle-imprisoned heroine of
the old-fashioned three volume novel.
The first one to whom she told the
tale made her very angry by laughing
before she had finished. He was hand
some young lieutenant, and on intimate
terms with Florence, because he was a
distant relative of her cousins aunt-in-
law
Il beg your pardon for laughing,
Cousin Florence" he said, but you see,
l am only beginning to realize a tenth
part of the alteration you dear girls
lavish upon uniform; but to show
you, however. that | really sympathize
with your heroine, intend to pass by
her prison tomorrow that she may
feast her hungry eyes on my brass but
tons"
When he carried out this generous
impulse Agnes was reading under a
large rose vine; he walked slowly to
give her time to enjoy the buttons while
he admired the flowers, among which
she was the fairest blossom.
Excuse me- miss, but may | inquire
the way to camp?" He could think of
nothing else to say, his usual coolness
being lost in the mazes of the young
girls attractiveness.
Agnes stood and pointed towards the
west, 1T is less than a half mile" she
answered
THANK you, All, now | see the can
vas; | might have seen it before but
for the sun in my eyes, and-the flowers.
We don't have them like this in our cli-
mate; you-you never sell any, do your"
Certainly not; you are perfectly well

gorgeous roses.
Il came out this afternoon to shoot
pheasants." said the young man. getting
deeper into the mazes; but / haven't
been very successful"
The flower she had just plucked fell at
her feet "Pheasants! Why, they never
come till later
'Is that so?" replied he, vaguely
thinking only the girl and the flowers
THANK you; thank you"
She watched him as he departed. his
broad handsome shoulders, his shapely
head with its wayy black hair; his mill
tary tramp. tramp, was music to her
ears; and in her memory there fingered
the expression of his dark eyes as he
looked at her while he admired the flow

would give such testimony. Ehler said
