Regular Milking Hours.

The Importance of regular milk
ing hours equally in every twenty
four, is emphasized by successful
dairyman. He found that although it
would not pay the farmers to milk
three times day, the milk should be
drawn every twelve hours for best
results. The longer milk remains N
the udder the less butter fat 1t will
contain when drawn, SO when the
milking time is let run over time a
few hours considerable is lost in
quality; and this is not made up at
the next milking, so that there is no
way of regaining it.-Indiana Far

Condition by Building up the Blood
and Strengthening the Nerves.
Nervous debility is the forerunner of
a nervous eak-down perhaps the first
warning sign of paralysis
The first thing to do in nervous debil-
ity is to stop the cause of the trouble,
if possible, whether it is irregular living,
worry or whatever it may be. Then the
nerves must be given especial nourish-
ment and the blood enriched. This is
the mission of Dr. Williams Pink Pills
and this is why the pills have been
used with such great success In herv6tis
troubles that did not yield to ordinary
methods of treatment.
Mr.. Charles w. Lowell, of Shelburne
Falls, Mass, says: 81 was rundown in
health for ten years and for much of that
time was unable to do any physical
work on account of nervous debility. /

Dr. Williams Pink Pills contain the
clements necessary to make new blood
and, as the nerves get their nourishment
from the blood, have been found invalu-
able in a wide range of diseases of the
blood and nerves, such as rheumatism,
after effects of the grip and fevers. neu-

How Shoes Are Made.

Fifty years ago the farmers of New
England made their own shoes, but
since the Introduction of machinery the
homemade article has vanished.
A factory employs on an average
two hundred to three hundred people,
who can turn out two thousand to twen-
ty-five hundred pairs of shoes a day.
No single operator makes complete
shoe. One cuts out the soles, another
the uppers, and another the heels. One
operator will make the buttonholes, an
other the hens, and another sews on
the buttons, each one using a separate
machine.
A buttonhole machine will make
about five thousand holes a day, and
it is calculated that each pair of shoes
passes through more than fifty hands
before it is ready to wear.

Latch Key Suffrage,

Over In England the possession of a
iatchkey has lately been held in the
courts to have an important bearing on
the electoral rights of a man claiming
to be a householder. With us the
latchkey has grown so universal as to
be no indication of a mans status, or
a woman's either, for that matter. Not
so very long ago the American wom-
ans right to the latchkey was subject
for 1ocular argument pro and con, but
women's latchkeys are now as common
Us mems. For an institution that dates
back only about seventy years the
latchkey has stepped with some sud-
denness into its place of a universal
necessity.-Poston Herald.

HOW ENGLISH LIVE IN INDIA.
Club at Every station-servants and
Prices at the Markets.

Club at Every StatiOn-Servants and
Prices at the Markets.
The Indian club is a unique lnstitu-
tion; there is nothing like it anywhere
else. In q small station it is the one
rendezvous for all the men and wom-
en- in the. nelghborhood. Punctually at
8 o'clock, when the sun begins to lose
its power, nearly every one moves club
ward. The glaring white road, until
then occupied only by an occasional
bullock handy with Its native driver,
suddenly becomes the scene of the ut
most animation, dogcarts, carriages,
ponies and bicycles all following one
another in the same direction.
Play and chat are at once the order
Of the day. While some indulge in GRO
quet or Badminton, others ill the ten
mis- courts, which are provided with
number of little brown faced boys who
run about and pick up the balls. When
the light fails, two groups are formed
in the compound; the women sit and
gossip over their iced drinks, while
the men cluster around the peg table.
Finally, the club building itself Is en-
tered, and cards and billiards are en-
joyed under the punkah until it Is time
to go home and dress for dinner.
Nothing is more striking on ones
first visit to the club, says writer in
the Lady, than the extraordinary high
spirits one meets on every side. Some
say they are forced, others that they
are due to the lightness and brightness
Of the air, but certainly such jokes
and laughter are not heard elsewhere.
Tragedy may lie underneath, but on
the surface all Is merriment. Almost
every one Is young, and all are ready
for little companlonship and amuse-
ment after the long hot hours spent in
Office or bungalow. 1t Is this friendly
intercourse with one another which An
glo-Indians miss SO much when they
first return to England and have to put
up with the aloofness of county society
or the limitations of suburbla.
Then India is the ideal country for
visiting. Each visitor arrives at a
friends bungalow with his own SER
wants and ponies. Native servants are
responsible for their own meals Of cur
ry and rice, and curl themselves up
In rug to sleep in any available cor
ner, 30 are no trouble to another per-
sons household. The butler, who knows
your likes and dlslikes better than you
do yourself, makes 1t his special duty
to see that no home comforts are lack
Ing, and is always particularly gener-
GUS with a strange masters" foods.
If there are many visitors, the ar
ray Of smart beturbaned buffers in the
diningroom is most imposing, and the
waiting is done as If by magic.
There are certain advantages in liy-
Ing in country where houses are
cheap, servants are cheaper and meat
can be bought for Cd pound. By Gu
rious native arrangement there Is no
fixed standard of prices for articles Of
food sold in the bazar. The. mem-sa
hib pays much or little, according to
the salary earned by her husband,
which is always known to a penny.
