Then she took stock Of the rest. With
needles and thread, of which she
possessed some store in the housewife
which had been saved from her bag,
she thought she could make shift to
manufacture three or four garments,
open at the neck. without sleeves and
with skirts that came to the knee,
garments just sufficient for modesty.
There was no other need for clothes.
SO far as that went, in that balmy
island.
Naturally she shrank from this, but
unless she restorted to this expedient
her clothes would wear out all at
once. Indeed. they were in none too
good a condition as 1t was. and when
/ they were worn out she would have
nothing. She would not have hest

the man, but man or not, the decision

never exposed to its intensity, darker,
she would not grow red or blister. She
was thankful for that with unconscious
femininity. At any rate. she must get
used to going out in the sun without
a hat, too. People, natives who were
, born and lived in this latitude, did
become accustomed to such things,
she knew, so undoubtedly could she.
With these thoughts, she stepped
around the headland and walked
across the beach toward the palm tree
where she could see: in the fading light
of the afternoon her prisoner was still

Meat Neal Often Rancid.

Poultry meats in the dried form are
made from hotel scraps, br~oken-down
animals. slaughter-house refuse, fer
tlllzer nkage, etc In every case,
terials become tainted before cooking
with a resulting high flavor if no
worse. In addition to this it is the
case that various brands differ SO much
in Quality that it is necessary to be
familiar with the brand or to have
accurate information respecting it or
one cannot feed it intelligently.
One popular brand claims a guar
anteed analysis Of 40 per cent. 1 sem
samples OF another which did not
guarantee any analysis to our expert
ment station and it was reported to
carry SO per cent of protein. The
brands differ widely in fat content also.
There is one brand of dry poultry
meat on the market which is sup
posed to be composed of liver only.
One would expect it to be high in pro-
tein. / do not think that this is
claimed for it, however. Theoretically
it ought to furnish the very best Of
poultry meat, but it is very hard to
distinguish from dirt When ground.
and this is true of some other brands
as to the finer portion. Often. too.
there is wool or hair mixed with the
meal. and this must be detrimental.
Poultry keepers are rather keen for
hazlets, which are never in large sup
ply in our locality. In these they get
liver, with other meat and some waste
The largest poultry farm / ever visited
used haZletS, boiling them and mixing
the mash with the hot liquid in which
they were boiled. The Australian con-
test people used boiled liver twice h

Kerosene Very Useful.

Every day almost we are finding
out new uses for simple things-and
few urnish better material than ker-
osene. The latest is that it will clean
a clock perfectly. place a piece of
cotton saturated with kerosene in the
bottom of a clock and shut it up for
four days. says an exchange. A
be black with dirt and the work
done" A clock which had been 81
lent for a number Of years. and defied
the attempts Of the best macninist in
the family, was given the test. So
skeptica1 were we hat it was forgot
ten until a week had elapsed. The
cotton was not much soi1ed, which
only decreased our faith. But the
clock was wound, started, and has
gone merrily ever since.
A neighbor claimed that she clean
ed one of the small clocks which no
way of opening up the works, by
fumes of kerosene would be equally
successful with. a watch and yet lot
injure it in any way is yet to be seen.
If a machine OF any sort has become
gummed and needs cleaning, kero-
sene will do the work quickly n
thoroughly. A 1ubricating Oil should
be added after the dirt is removed
If a screw has rusted in and re-
fuses to turn, pour a little kerosene
around it, let it stand for a few mo-
ments and try again.
To remove machine grease from
the hands wash in kerosene and then
in SOAP and warm water. Kerosene
is excellent for cleaing wash basins,
bath tubs, etc, 1t will cut grease ev-
cry time, but should be used sparingly
on paint.-B. L. p.

For Good Butter Making.

Work the salt into the butter thor
Oughly, but do not work it long enough
to break the grain and make the but,
ter salVy.
An English authority on butter
baking claims that adding one nonnd
of salt to every gallon OF cream lmme-
diately after it is taken off the milk
aids in ripening the cream and gives
from Is to 20 per cent. more butter
than from cream that has no salt in Il.
The buttermilk is. of course. useless,
as it cannot be fed to stock when it
contains so much salt. but its loss is
more than made up by the large guam
tity and better quality of butter, it
is claimed. Has anybody tried 1T over
here?
To prevent the taste OF turnlps IN
the butter from cows fed on them, 4
western creamery practices the fol-
lowing method: Put the cream into
a vessel and place in hot water at
200 degrees. When the cream reaches
a temperature of 145 or $50 degrees,
set the cream dish in cold water to
cool it.
Experiments seem to show that the
longer the interval between making
the poorer the milk. The milk is I'M
poverished by the absorption of the
facts after it is secreted.
If milk which has been set Tor some
time and on which the cream has
partly raised is stirred the cream
never raises again fully, SO there is a
considerable loss of butter from it.

Gloomy Crop Prospects.
(Statesville Landmark.)

The weather conditions make the
crop prospects gloomy indeed. The
continued wet weather. severe storms
almost daily, not only give excessive
moisture, but lands have been badly
washed and crops on lOwlands flooded.
In addition the grass and weeds are
fast setting ahead Of the growing
crops. The wheat crop, already made,
will be damaged. by the. rains and it
is difficult to save it.
An observant citizen remarked Sat
urday that the present prospect in
this locality is for about SO per cent.
of a crop. Certainly present condi-
tons promise little better.

HER FIRST M LAST.


The new boarder at Mrs. Hollands
pleasant home" was a hopeful soul;
therefore, in spite of the dismal proph-
ecies of her next-dcor neighbor, she es-
sayed to tighten the gloom that over
spread the company On Monday night,
when cold roast beef and parsnips
were being served. Il heard a good
story to-day" she announced, cheer
fully. ut was new to me, though the
rest of you may have heard it."
There was no response, therefore she
launched upon her little sea of helpful
ness with her story for sail.
ut was about a new j%anitor, an
| Irishman, at a clubhouse" she began,
smiling on the faces bent over unre-
warding fare. Il suppose he was a
sort of steward, really. And while a
mamie was an acquaintance, / think,
Of the person who told me-was wait
ing for his dinner to be served, the
telephone rang, and this steward, or
whatever he was, answered 1t.
1.-The man at the other end said, I
lSlL lily ull1UlClld oOAAS ~
Have you seen It? And the ~janitor
picked up an umbrella that vas stand
ing against the wall, and held it up to
the telephone, and said, Here's one!
Is this it?' l thought that was pretty
funny"
1.-THE last time I heard that story
1t was a black lace scarf that had been
dropped in a milliner's shop" said the
languid boarder.s
when it was told me 1t was a note
book, left in a druggists" said the
medical student.
I've heard it so many ways that I
can't remember which was the last,
though I think 1t was a handbag In a
brokers' Office" said the brisk man OF
business.
"It hardly seems as II a steward, or
a janitor, would be the n to answer
the telephone" said the young lawyer.
why should he be in the club din
ing-room?' inquired the school teacher.
I'm not familiar, naturally, with such
places, but it sounds very queer"
ooh, we'll" said the retired minister,
when you've all lived as long as I
have, you'll learn that stories go the
rounds about once in so often, disap-
pear, and come up again, dressed in a
little different way. l quite enjoy

genially on the new boarder.
Thank you!" she said, with due
meekness; and then nc sound was
heard save the click of knives on the
crockery.-Youth's Companion.

COUNTRY BOY AND CITY LAD.

A Plea for the Latter and His More
Numerous Advantages.
Not the least pressing question
raised by the amazing modern concen-
tration of population in the cities Is
where our good and great men are to
come from when there is no longer an
overproduction of virtue and ambition
in the country. If the canals have
need of all their canal boys whence
the future presidents? Without the
splitting of rails how shall the Union
be preserved?
DR.. J. H. Finley, president of the
College of the City of New YOrk-him-
self a country boy and a disciple Of
virtue and ambitions doing his best
to soothe Jul fears, says the Saturday
Evening Post. THE moral atmos-
phere, even in such a city az New
York, is much superior to the moral
atmosphere of the average village,
east and west. And think of what
the boy in New York has in the $40
acres he may call his home! He has
the whole history of humanity and
the best men in the country within
earshot. AS far as the comparative
health Is concerned, I will say that
most of the prairie boys l used to
know in my youth are now under the
sod"
These words may have been colored
by the fact that they were addressed
to city boys. But there Is the tonic
of wholesome truth in them. While
we are reckoning the farm boys who
have become philanthrop1sts. let us not
forget that the greed which created
Standard Oil was nourished in a barn
yard and that Jay Gould's arrival on
Broadway with 10 cents and a harm
less, necessary mouse trap in his pock-
ct was the symbol of much subsequent
setting and batting of the sublime but
very unnecessary mouse trap of fren.
zied finance.

bad weather and bad tempers do

What other business can you say

"You see, the more dismal the
weather is the more men seek the
solace of tobacco. In consequence the
more money falls into the tobacconist's

cigar dealers best customers. The i'll.

or weed oftener than others, but he
smokes twice as rapidly as his placid,
