S25, 900. 1t has a seating capacity
of 1000. The windows are nearly
all memorial and are the handsomest
in the State. The structure was be.
gun the middle of last July, and has
been the constant object of the con.
Germ of the pastor since then. In the
meantime handsome parsonage has
been built. The church property OF
the Southern Methodist congregation
now adds greatly to the value and
beauty ofthe town of Covington. The
pastor leaves on a vacation to Europe
Nav l6. In his absence fine pipe
organ, to which Mr.. Carnegie gave
one.half, will be put up in the new
church.
The council has an ordinance before
il by which the doors of all public
buildings are required to open out
ward. The ordinance as offered re-
ouires even the churches to have this
kind of doors, and if it is passed every
church in town will be required to 60
to the expense Of changing its doors.
This will involve considerable expense
and will not add much to the appear
ance of the buildings or the convent
ence of the people. Many persons
think that this ordinance is entirely
roole.s az far az the churches are con-
cerned. for none of them can be re-
parded as dangerous, as they usually
have ample exits in case of fire OF
panic. Still, the activities OF the
councilmen must have vent. and Il
they are determined to impose this
unnecessary burden upon the churches
it will only be calling for an exhlbl-
ton of the Christian virtues that the
congregations are supposed to adVo'
! cate.

THE DAIRYMAN.

Dairy farmers should retain the
calves from the best milking cows. 1t
is almost impossible to buy dairy cows
as good as the calves from the best
cows will make If the former are prop.
erly reared and handled. Feed the
feed to obtain a large frame. Feed
plenty of roughage to develop large
stomach capacity. Do not feed fatten.
ing foods and allow the heifer to be.
come fat. When fresh, feed well. sta
ble we'll and make the first milking
period as long as possible.
Experiments With Rye Meal.
The Pennsylvania experiment station
has discovered that rye meal as a part
Of properly balanced ration for milk
cows is as efficient in milk and butter
production as an equal weight of corn
meal. No injurious effect upon the
quality Of the butter was noticed.
Treatment For Scours.
Some time ago the South Carolina
experiment station recommended the
use of formaldehyde as treatment
for scours In young calves. 1t should
be fed as follows: Add one half ounce
OF commercial formalin to 1876 ounces
Of distilled or rain water and give one
teaspOonful of this solution with each
pound or pint Of skimmilk fed. Giving
this treatment twice. say once in the
mornings and once In the evenings
milk, will usually cure the scours. The
Virginia experiment station has recent
ly tested this remedy quite thoroughly
and reports most satisfactory results.
Some Good Advics.
w. F. McSparran of Pennsylvania in
an address before the Vermont dairy
men uttered this very sensible advice
on the matter Of improving the dairy
qualities OF farm cows: A COW may be
better than she looks or worse than
she looks. The only way to tell one is
to live with her. Get rid Of the poor
ones. They take the bread out Of our
mouths. but the more promising ones
may surprise you with judicious feed
Ing. Put them to the test; shelter them
from storms; be kind to them; don't
try to half Starve them ON q half dry
pasture, but give them the full round
year ration. Send your scrub bull to
the butcher and get the best bull OF
your breed that you can buy.

Profitable Litination.

On the boundary line of two farms
in an Austrian village there is large
gOOSeberry bush, from which the two
farmers have for years gathered the
product. What grows on my side is
mine, and you may have the rest" was
the agreement.
Three years ago the neighbors had a
misunderstanding, and this came to q
climax when the gOoseberries became
ripe. A lawsuit followed, and appeals
We're made to higher judicial bodies
The final decision has just been re-
corded in an Austrian paper
Each party is to have the right to
pick the berries which grow on his
side of the line, just as it was orig
inally, but neither may destroy the
bush. The costs are charged half to
each litigant. Each farmer had to
pay 225 krone. The yearly yield OF
the bush is worth about one-half krone,
anl the judge told the fighting farm
erS:
with good luck it will take you only
800 years to make the bush pay. Take
good care of it."

''She is lovely said Miss Vincent,

first time since their engagement three
years before Jeffrey was showing in

How gladly she would have well
coined the diversion during the last
twelve months of her awakening to
what love really meant! But, no;
Jeffrey had been a devoted lover, ap-
parently blind to her growing inditfer-
ence toward him.
The fact that their betrothal was a
family affair and as yet unannOunCed
would have made it easier for her to
have told him the truth and thus
broken off the engagement, but GER

Hilton into her world had she known
what love was-that sweet upland
path that one knows instinCtively

whence it takes lifetime to descend.
1t was the old story Of a pledged
word and love come too late. She
had turned Hilton away and-Jeffrey

Tho Barber hik Il.

On one of his visits to London
Joachim, the great violinist, entered a
barber shop for shave. The barber
did not know him and eyed his flowing
locks with the air of n man who knew
just what he would do to them when
he got his customer in the chair.
Hair cut, SirY he demanded, with a
SWer.
The virtuoso signitied his perfect sat
isfaction with the length of his hir-
suite adOrnment.
Just a little long at the back" the
barber insinuated as he adjusted the
cloth.
Joachim explained that he liked it
that way, and the tonsorial artist was
silent for awhile
Rather thin on top, sir" he said,
flee length to thickness was poor policy.
But Joachim glared at the barber and
tossed his lionlike name. The barber
scraped away for awhile In moody,
discontented fashion. But it was hard
to discountenance him.
Better let me trim the edges for
you, sir. Just half an inch all around"
Joachim remained firm, however, and
then the barber, losing what little tact
and ingenuity he had, vented his feel,
ings in the most scathing expression
of contempt that suggested itself to his
tOnSOrial mind with:
well, Of course, If you want to look
like German musician it's nobody'a
business but your own"

"Goodby. old man! Hope you have a
good time. Goodby" He swung
around the point with the tluttering
handkerchief in his hand. Jeffrey fol-
lowed his going with a strange smile
on his lips.
He opened his clinched right hand
and disclosed the curious little ring
which Helen had returned to him. AS
he looked at it his full lips stiffened
into straight, hard lines. He lifted his
hand, and there were fash of gold
and Il sparkle of flame before the
jewel disappeared in the oncoming
green waves.
"Goodby, everything" he muttered
grimly. Then he turned and walked
briskly toward the railroad station.
