Man might often take from the low
er animals lesson as to the care of
himself when i'll. All sorts of animals
suffering from fever eat little; lie
quiet In dark, airy places, and drink
quantities of water. When dog loses
his appetite he knows where to find
dog grass, which acts as a purgative
and emetic. Sheep and COWS, when
Ill, seek. certain herbs. Any animal
suffering from chronic rheumatism
keeps as far as possible from the

Dark or Fair Women.

AS a rule the dark-cOmpleXioned
woman is more reserved, less super
fetal and emotioal than her lighter
sister. Though the blonde may APP
pear fairer, after middle age the
brunette wears her age better.
In the depth of pair of blue eyes
you can read love and devotion; in
the kindly brown eye YOU will find
that consistency, love. less enthusiast
tic but more lasting. and untiring
sympathy which a professional man
needs. 1t is not only a wife you are
considering, but a companion and
helpmate. a girl with some common
sense and judgment, which you will
have to call on frequently as reserve
power, says the Boston Globe.
Many a man owes his success to
his wife. The qualities essential for
this are most frequently found under
the crown of dark hair. Through
study and observation we find there
is more stability of character and
love of home in the darker woman,
while the blonde requires the incense
of admiration always burned at her
shrine.
And lastly, a man is justly proud
of the tall and graceful woman by
his side.

Vinegar is obtained by placing
barrels of cider in the sun in a
warm cellar. The bungholes of
the barrels are always left open.
Mother of vinegar is put into
each and every barrel in very
small quantities and helps in
the transformation of cider to
vinegar. a very large per cent.
OF the cider that comes from the
present day cider mill is event
ually turned iuto vinegar.
1t is a fact not appreciated
by everyone that the quality of
cider and the other products of
the cider mill as we'll, is de
pendent upon the kind of apples
that are used. Those people who
insist upon using the scrubs of
the orchard for cider cannot ex.
pect the best results. La some
States apples are grown especially
for cider. A ripe apple and one
that is particularly full OF juice
will make better cider, better
jelly and better apple butter than
ones do not possess these quail
tiles. Among the common va
rieties of apples the Baldwin is
much desired for the cider mill.
