democratic leader of New York city

Farmers should be very careful con

the cleansing of the dairy utensils o

Every Engishman likes to be alone
and have things to himself. If he can
not choose his company, he would rath-
err have n3ne. Englishmen are proud
of the national idiosyncrasy, yet here
comes one who, knowing all this, pays
1t No Difference, but sets the national
tradition at defiance and forces his III.
trusive presence on you. Why does
this denationalized Englishman, when
he may be as solitary as you wish to
be yoarself, not act as every true Eng-
lishman ought and go into the next
carriage or take a seat at the other
side Of the room as far away as he
can get from you? BY all acknowl-
edged laws of English intercourse he
ought as much to dislike being near
you US you dislike to be near him.

In the year 1909 we kept an exact

meal. The oats, bran and shorts were
about equal parts and the o.lmeal
about one-tenth Of the others. With
this ration we were able to produce
from an average herd of grade cows
about G.100 pounds of milk per COW
Next year we changed this and watch
ed every COW and studied her likes anC
dislikes. and the second year we were
able to bring up the average of thai
herd by LOO and some odd pounds
just by studying the likes and disllkes
To feed each of these cows during 1895
cost us $50, and during 1900 it cost III
only $33-that is. we saved 50 by cater
ing to the tastes of the individual
cows, by watching very carefully thu

the very best out of each COW tina
there was in her. and it is impossible
to do this without keeping Il record o

People have been known to excuse
watch dogs for dereliction of duty on
the ground that the dogs might be
hard of hearing. This excuse ought
not to so. A veterinary surgeon Of
Cleveland remarked that In his thir-
ty-five years experience he had never
heard Of deaf dog. His remark led
to Inquiries among two or three other
veterinaries and not one had ever
heard of dog that couldn't hear.
When a watch dog or any other dog
doesn't hear man that is prowling
about the house 1t is because 1t doesn't
want to hear. Horses are frequently
treated by veterinaries for deafness,
and even cats are hard of hearing oc-
casionally, but deaf dogs seem to be
unknown in Cleveland at least.-Cleve.

The Story of Her Death From the Bi.s
of an Asp.
1t is admitted that Cleopatra killed
herself to avoid being exhibited at
Rome in the triumph of Octavius. who
had made war upon her and antony he-
cause the latter had divorced his zoe.
taviusD sister on the queens account.
But did she die from snakes bite?
1t is better to think not. IF her death
had been caused by any serpent the
small viper would rather have been
chosen than the large asp, but the
story is disproved by her having deck
ed herself in the royal ornaments and
being found dead without any marks
or suspicion of poison on her body"
Death from a serpent's bite could not
have been mistaken, and her vanity
would not have allowed hee to choose
one which would have dishgured her
In so frightful a manner.
Other poisons were well understood
and easy of access, and no boy would
have ventured to carry an asp Ia n
basket of figs, some of which he even
offered to the guards as he passed, Aad
even Plutarch shows that the story OF
tho asp was doubtful. Nor Is the sta:us
carried In Augustus triumph, whieh
had an asp upon it, any proof of hiu
belief in 1t, since the snake was thu
emblem of Egyptian royalty. Tie
statue Tor the CROWN of Cleopatra
could not have been without one, and
this was probably the origin of thu
whole story.

Birds as inhabitants of the air were

II, establishing these notions. The real
Indications often furnished by sea
birds of a coming storm Or calm were
doubtless magnified by the anxious. su

The custom of hanging xhe sea swal-

NJ suspending the bird by the feet, ex-
Doctinq It would renew its feathers as
IL alive.
Divination by the flight Of birds was
q favorite method in the olden times.
sailors watched their fight for indica-
tions of prosperous voyages and favor
ing Winds AS they were thought to
Ay through the air to heaven they
aasilv became messengers of the will
of the gods.
The albatross is believed by Jack tar
70 sleep on the winds. 1t was at one
time thought that the petrol Matched
its eggs under its wings.
The kingfisher was at one time kept
In chests to keep away moths.
The fishhawk was esteemed a bring

There was an old superstition that
