HERE is A FREAK PATENT.

This Refrigerator Cow, When

A curious idea for milk carts is
contained in this patent, applied for
in 1898. Just what it is intended for
is told by the inventor himself: my
invention is new and useful improve
ment in milk refrigerators and deliv-
cry apparatus, and has for its object
the provision of a device that resem-
bles life-sized COW, in which milk
may be stored and kept at a proper
temperature, and from which it may
be drawn as occasion requires after
the manner of milking a cow With
in the body are receptacles or compart
ments, each of which is provided with
a cover and adapted to contain the de-
sired quantity of milk. By the use of
two receptacles two qualities of milk
may be stored at the same time, such
as sweet milk and buttermilk. In the
bottom of each of the receptacles is
located valve having a spring for
normally holding it in place, SO as to
prevent the downfowing of the milk.
Each of the teats has a toggle-lever
connected to a lift-rod, and when the
latter is raised the valve is lifted and
the milk flows out of the teats. By
proper manipulation of this device a

ugliness. In considering the psychic
role of fat We should specially bear in
mind, G. M. Miles says, its reserve
function in relation to active vital pro-
cesses. A liberal deposition OF fat Is
one OF natures wise precautions to
enable us to bear some of the trials
Of life. 1t has been known from earl
lest antiquity that fat people are more
contented and optimistic than lean
ones and the supply of fat may be
compared to the ample bank account
OF busy and provident man.
Niles says that he believes he Is
correct in asserting that a physiologi.

exerts quieting and reassuring in

BE FAT AND SO BE HAPPY.

Stout People May Read This and Get
Encouragement from 1t.
Fat is often unappreciated or mis-
understood and unduly blamed for
sins of delinquencies of other body
foods, the Medical Record says. From
Is to 20 per cent of each healthy body
is composed of fat and its chief
sources are the starches and sugars,
though certain fats are directly util-
ized.
The weight of present opinion is in
favor of the view that fats are com
pletely decomposed in the intestine
and that the fatty acids formed are
absorbed, either as soaps or in a So
luton brought about by the bile.
AS source of energy for the de-
velopment of heat, fat may be de-
scribed as quickly available, but not so
lasting as some other substances. BY
its concentrated fuel power it saves
other tissues, especially the albumin
Gus ones from oYer-oxidation and is
valuable as a reserve force.
Moreover, by its presence the pro-
tein is better enabled to do its work
in tissue building and as a storage of
energy for emergencies it is of great
importance. The last material use of
fat is to serve as protection Of the
body from injury and cold. It forms
an outer cushion for the frame.
From an aesthetic standpoint the
physiological and orderly distribution
Of fat in the connective tissue makes

The aforementioned Hessian fly in

wheat crop 80 say of S60,0000O0, as

WOMEN AND LOVE.

Only the Isolated Girl Able to Keep
Illusions as Time Passes.
In Harper's Bazaar Gertrude Ath-
erton, the novelist, has an interesting
article on love. She knows her sub
Ject well. Among other things she
says this:
I'VE all know that the older girls
grow, the more difficult are they to

nifty to meet a reasonable number of
men. 1t is only the sidetracked girl
Generally in small towns deserted by
the young mem or the too sheltered
girl, who keeps her, illusions. Women
that see too much of men soon lose
these. In mixed colleges the process
of disenchantment begins just that
much earlier-and in the most plastic
years of the human mind. The girls
who, almost shamefacedly, announce
their engagements Immediately upon
the close of their collegiate career, are
the undeViatingly maternal, those in
whom love of children is so deeply
implanted that no amount of contact
(save matrimoniaD can rub off the
masculine halo. Others may have
quite as much good looks and even
charm, may even have certain youth

to pause and think, consider; to see

have rubbed elbows for several years,
exactly as he is. Therefore, they con-
clude to wait few years and seek the

more than brief romance, a family,
or an establishment. Sometimes these
girls, particularly if they discover
ability enough to make an interesting
career, do not marry at ALL No man

panion should be; they conclude that
happiness is to be found alone, not in
the surrender of liberty to some one
man who may develop all sorts of de-
testable traits.

Department report, the value of farm
products for 10000 was estimated at
$S,76O,C00,O00, as against 1881 900, 900
for the previous year. And if the in
sects laid upon the farmer the mini
mum of their yearly tax they would
cost him 1876, 100000. This does not
include two very legitimate items,
namely, the loss occasioned by insect
pests to farm products, chiefly cereals
and forage crops, in storage, and to
natural forests and forest products"
To each of these at least 100000, 900
more must be assigned" making the
total tax chargeable to insects last
year $1,076,00O,00O.
The "critter" known to the cotton
planter as the boil worm and to the
farmer as the head or ear worm is
the costliest of the pests, taking one
year with another. He is credited
with destroying per cent of the corn
crop, in point of value and quantity
the most important of Uncle Sans
crops, and per cent of the cotton
crop, which comes next in value. The
corn crop has been steadily climb
ing up toward the billion and half
mark for the last few years. At that
rate this particular worm has cost
the country $7O,00O,0O0. And there's
the price of several Dreadnoughts

worm!
Equally costly is the Hessian fly,
