DAIRY NOTES.

The scrub farmer will keep scrub
stock.
Starving the young animals in the
dairy saves feed, but that is all
The savage dog has no license on
the farm and especially around the
dairy.
A few good rules consistently fol-
lowed will accomplish greater re-
suits than much wisdom and little
practice.
1t is mighty poor cow that will
not respond to good care and good
food. She should be sold to the
butcher forthwith.
Milk with dry hands. The man
who mi1ks with wet hands is usually
very careless as well in the other
details of the dairy business.
A man who abuses his stock has
about as much chance OF reaching
that Better Land as the Golden Rule
has of being worked to death
It's pretty good plan to have ar
engagements made so that the stock
can get in out of the storm should
one come up while the family is
away.
An exchange tells about man who
becomes Ill at the smell OF butter.
Now, we feel sorry for such man.

LIFE INSURANCE ACTIVITY.
The New York Lies Business Nearly
Up to the Legal Limit.

The New York Life Insurance Com
pany announces that it's new paid
business during the half year just end
ed was over seventy million dollars.
AS the new law allows no life COM
pany to write over one hundred and
fifty millions per year, it would an.
pear that this company is working
nearly up to the limit The New
York Life gained such Roadway be-
fore the law was passed and suffered
so little, comparatively, from the Arm
strong investigation. that the question
with its management has been how to
keep business down to the limit, rath-
er than how to reach it. No other
company is writing nearly as much
as the law allows. The New York
Life has evidently become a pre-
ferred company.
The company's payments to policy
holders during the six months end
ing June 80 were $21, SEC, 761.- It is
interesting to note that this amount
was almost equally divided between
payments under policies maturing by
death and payments made to living
policy holders. Thus, while death
claims were $11-1S0.626, the amount
paid for matured endowments, annu-
tiles, trust fund installments, for pur-
chased policies and for dividends was
$10.4S0, 1875. Modern life insurance, as
practiced by the best companies, en-

SMALL NANTES ARE CHIC.
Give Fine Air Of Completeness to
the Costume.

There is no end to the charming
little nantes worn with gowns and
that complete the costume so per-
fectly. AS dress lingerie waists are
de rigueur they give a particular
charm to these lovely mantles when
ever they are put aside. A very at
tractive louisine silk costume on this
order. worn at recent wedding, was
q French gray figured In white. The
skirt had three inset pipings of white
satin in line group crossing like a
band, few inches from the bottom.
The smart mantle matched the skirt
and was draped into the figure over a
fatted foundation Of white silk marco

lawn and lace of the lingerie blouse.
In the back. there was the same

TRADITION OF THE ROSE.
Pretty Legend Current Among North
American Indians.

The North American Indians of the
western coast have tradition that
roses were created without thorns
So tall and fair they grew that all
creatures were attracted by their
beauty and grace. Animals that
browse upon grass and green heritage
soon discover the tender sweetness Of
the roses abundant foliage, and then
every rose tree holding its flowers
aloft but attracted attention and drew
destruction to itself.
Every part Of the earth had been
given its glory of roses, but in every
place there were animals which
sought the bushes to deYour them,
and and tribes Of roses were in dan
ger of becoming extinct. In their ex-
tremity they held a council, for in
that faraway morning of the world
plants as well as animals had power
to speak. To the council all the
roses came, and each had tale to tell
OF suffering and disaster. AT length
1t was decided to send for help to the
goldman of the tribes-the Hiawatha
OF the west. Delegates were chosen
from among those who were manned
and torn and had suffered most. 9th
ers also were sent who were tail and
fair and graceful. Wisely this coun-
Gil discerned that should justice be
denied the tribes. beauty might pre-
vail In their cause.
The conference was long and grave.
At its close an armory of thorns was
given to every rose, and thus were the
tribes OF roses delivered from the en-
emies.-Circle Magazine.

Courage.

Three tired citizens lawyer. a

or the early dawn. On the table were

the darkness beyond. The three men
shifted their feet and looked at each
other uneasily. After long pause the
lawyer spoke:

TRAVELLING IN EUROPE.

What II Means to Ride Second Glass on
the Railroads.
A delusion of the guidebooks Is the
advice to ride second class on the rail-
roads of Europe. 1t Is often pointed
out that first class and second class are
frequently but divisions of the same
car, and this makes a great impression
on the inexperienced traveller, particu-
larly If his purse is limited. Landing
at Plymouth, Southampton, Havre,
Cherbourg, Liverpool, you are at once
conveyed to London or Paris on steam
er trains" under the same excellent
conditions that have prevailed on your
trip, but thereafter you are at your
own resources. and If you are wise you
will not only travel first class, but you
will see to 1t that your seat is always
engaged well ahead. If you travel Sec
ond class between cities that corre-
spond to New York and Philadelphia,
say where Intercourse Is frequent and
numerous, you will most likely have
to stand up in all second class COM
partmenIS. 10 get second class seat
between Vienna and Budapest. for ex-
ample, is about like boarding train
for Coney Island at Brooklyn bridge on
a summer Sunday afternoon, and If
you do get seat somebody else sand
wiches and sausages on your lap.
Another point to be remembered Is
that in Europe you cannot engage a
whole sleeping compartment for your
self, as you can here You have to
show ticket for each berth. There
fore it behooves the person travelling
alone at night to seek out before ar
ranging the trip some suitable COM
panion or for parties Of three or Ave or
any odd number to make similar pro-
visions.-Travel Magazine.
