Bicyclcs and hirships.

One Of the most striking facts
about flying is the ease and quickness
with which the art seems to be mas
tered under proper tuition. For exam
pie, Lieutenant Lahm has been a
purii only three weeks, yet he made
a fight Of forty-fve minutes, which
only a little while ago would have
been a record. Half an hour, says
Wilbur Wright, is long enough TO get
the knack Of the machine, but It is to
be noticed that he does not let pupils
quite so green as chat shift for them
selves. The first stages seem not to
be much more difficult or alarming
than the mastery of the high bicycle
of twenty years ago, which to the no.
vice looked as high as a house. In
fact, the well taught aeronaut seems
to lose rather less cuticle during his
apprenticeship than the old-time bicy'
clist.

The care which the cream receives
determines what kind of butter it will
make. 1t is not enough, as some
farmers do not seem to realize, to
skim or separate the milk and expect
the cream to take care of itself. The
advent of the hand separator has not
helped matters in this direction. On
the contrary, it has worked the other
way. There are some farmers who
seem to consider that if they run
their milk through the machine and
deliver the cream to the creamery
once or twice a week they have done
all they are supposed to. This is a
sad mistake, as many creamery men
are finding out. The ability of the
butter maker is a very important mat
ter, but it cannot be the only consid-
GRAFTON. No butter maker can make
a prime product out of improperly
handled cream.

The Gethsemane Of Life.

For every one of us, sooner or later
the Gethsemane of life must come. 1t
may be the Gethsemane OF struggle
and poverty and care; 1t may be the
Gethsemane OF long and weary sick
ness; II may be the Gethsemane of
farewells that wiring the heart by the
deathbeds OF those we love; it may be
the Gethsemane OF remorse and we'll
nigh despair for sins that we cannot
overcome. Yet, in that Gethsemane
aye, even in that Gethsemane OF sin
no angel merely, but Christ himself,
who bore the burden of our sins, will.
If we seek him, come to comfort us.
He will, IL, being in agony, we pray,
He can be touched. He is touched with
the feeling of our intirmities. He, too,
has trodden the winepress OF agony
alone; he, too, has lain downcast in
the night upon the ground and the
comfort which then came to him he
has bequeathed to us-eyen the com
fort, the help, the peace, the recovery,
the light OF hope, the faith, the sus-
taia,ng arm, the healing anodyne If

Mrs. McCullogh emphasizes the

doing the same work as men, but who
in all cases get far smaller salaries.

OF Interest
to Women
English Wedding Receptions 10
Go-Their Place to Be Taken
by a Party the Day Before the
ceremony-Presents Displayed
at Time Party is Held.

II seems quite possible that the re-
ception after a religious ceremony at
one OF the fashionable churches will in
time cease to figure as social funct-
ion in England. 1t Is becoming in
creasingly the fashion for the brides
mother to have an afternoon or even
ing party on the day before the we'd
ding, at which the presents are dis
played in all their glory and then on
the wedding day itself to restrict invi-
tatlons to the house after the seriCe to
immediate friends and relatives only.
This has been the plan adopted at
several recent London weddings. From
what one hears it may be very gem
orally initiated. so that in time the
once Indispensable wedding recep-
tion may become as OBSOLETE as the
wedding breakfast OF the Victorian
era, when all marriage ceremonies in
church were bound by law to be CON
cluded before noon.
81 do not think any of us would re-
gret very deeply the disappearance Of
the aforesaid wedding reception" says
a writer in the Gentlewoman. Three
o'clock in the afternoon is not an
hour at which any one is feeling much
inclined for party. no one ever knew
what to do, moreover, for the hour is
too early for tea. too late for luncheon,
while the only refuge for the destitute
looking at and appraising the we'd
ding presents-is generally rendered
nugatory by the fact that every one
else wishes to do exactly the same
thing at the same moment.
Most of us in consequence GER
tainly such as are OF the male sex
generally stayed about five minutes
and then fed preciptately; whereas
under the new arrangement of a party
the day before any hostess is at liber-
ty to choose her own hour for show
ing off her daughters presents, and
as this would probably be either at
tea time or after dinner we should all
feel great deal more socially in
clined than two or three hours earlier
"All things considered therefore if
this new fashion does take on, it will
really conduce to the happiness Of
many, and it will be no bad thing
either to divide the sacred and secu-
lar parts of the wedding festivities
more decidedly than they are at pres
ent."

A Return in Kind.

Mark Twain once asked a neighbor
If he might borrow a set of his books.
The neighbor replied ungraciously
that he was welcome to read them in
his library, but he had a rule never
to let his books leave his house. Some
weeks later the same neighbor sent
over to ask for the loan of Mark
Twain's lawn-mower.

lowing results were shown: The
Holsteins gave 269,13 pounds of milk
and 10.0S3 of butterfat. The Ayr
shires gave 1904 pounds of milk and
1886 pounds OF butter fat The Jer-
seys gave 229.ll Ia pounds of milk

Guess Work with Cows.

We are sorry to say it, but with

as TO whether his cows are paying
their way or not. They are strangers
to the milk scales and the Babcock

use OF silage, etc, and the result is
that they barely grub out living
