Mallory put out his hand: Would
you be kind enough to lend me your
razor again this morning."
Sure thing" said Ashton. You'll

Mallory then negotiated the loan of
one more fresh shirt from the Eng
ilishman, and a clean collar from Ash
ton. He rejoiced that the end OF the
day would bring him in touch with
his own baggage. Four days OF forag'
ing on the country was enough for
this soldier.
Also he felt, now that he and Mar

survive somehow till evening brought
them to San Francisco, where there
we're hundreds of ministers. And then
the conductor must ruin his early
morning optimism. though he made
his appearance in the Mushroom with
genial good mornings for all.
Mallory acknowledged the greeting,
and asked offhandedly: by the way,
hows she running?"
The conductor answered even more
affhandedly: About two hours late
and losin'."
Mallory was transfixed with n new
fear: Good Lord, my transport sails
at sunrise"
"Oh, we ought to make Frisco by
midnight, anyway"
Midnight, and sail at daylight"
Unless we lose little more time. !"
Mallory realized that every new day
managed to create its own anxieties.
With the regularity OF a milkmen,
each morning left a fresh crisis on
his doorstep.

The Complete Divorcer.

The Complete Divorcer
The other passengers were growing
nervous with their own troubles. %he
next stop was Reno, and IN spite OF
all the wit that is heaped upon the
town, It is a solemn place to those
who must 20 there in purgatorial pen
ance for matrimonial error.
Some honest souls regard such di-
vorce-emporiums az dens or evil.
where the wicked make a mockery OF
the sacrament and assail the founda-
lions of society. by undermining the
home. Other equally honest souls,
believing that marriage is a human
institution whose mishaps and mis-
takes should be rectified as far as
possible, regard the divorce courts as
cities OF refuge for ili-treated or III
mated women and men whose lives
may be saved from utter ruinatton by
the Intervention Of high-minded
judges.
But, whichever view is right, the
ordeal by divorce is terrifying enough
to the poor sinners or martyrs who
must undergo IL.
Little Jimmie Wellington turned
pale. and stammered, as he tried to
ask the conductor casually:
What kind of place is that

ished, so that the walls and ceiling
may be smooth and free from corners
or projections which might accumn-
late dust and dirt.
The building should have a good
concrete floor, pitched to drain
through bell traps. The side walls
should be plastered with cement plas-
ter on metal lathing as high as the
windows. The remainder OF the
walls and ceiling may be covered with
matched flooring, and both walls and
ceiling should be painted with a

which supplies steam to the sink and
10 the steam jet in the drain board;
galvanized iron wash sink, a can
rack, a Babcock tester. a concrete
cooling tank, a milk cooler and milk
scales.
After the COW is MIXED the pail of
milk should be carried to the milk
room, weighed. recorded, and sampled
for the composite test. Then the
milk is run over the cooler, using
cold running water for the first cool
ing When a can Is filled with milk
from the cooler it Is put in the ce-
ment tank, which should be filled
with ice and water high enough to
come we'll up on the neck OF the can,
and the contents should be stirred
frequently with a clean stirrer and
thoroughly cooled. When the milk Is
not being stirred the cans should al.
ways be kept covered TO prevent the
entrance of dust, dirt, insects, etc.
Never mix warm and cold milk or
cream. The doors of the milk room
should be kept shut except when
necessary to pass in or out.
When all the milk is cooled, the
cooler, pals. strainers, ETC.. can be
carried into the wash room. where
they should be rinsed in cold water
and then washed with hot water and
washing powder. After this they are
inverted on the drain board and
rinsed and steamed. For this purpose
two pipes may be used, one carrying
cold water, the other steam. These
may be controlled by either hand or
foot levers. Or q single Jet may be
installed. fed by both cold water aud
steam. Utensils after being steamed
should be inverted on the drying
rack.
The little closet In the wall he
tween the milk room and the wash
room is to hold bottles In which COM
poslte milk samples from each cow
may be kept.

chivaIrous In Face of Misfortune.

nearby town an old and foremost citi-

trouble with Wellington was that he
had brought along what he was ieav-

observed: You ought to enjoy your
residence there. Wellington, with your
wife on hand"
The only repartee that Wellington
could think of was rather unin-
spired: You so to -"

laughed, and walked away.
Wedgewood laid a sympathetic hand
on Little Jimmie's shoulder. and said:

Wellington wrote his epitaph In
these words:

OF all great enterprises had waylatd
him on the way TO the battle-ground
of marital freedom.
The stranger had got on at an
earlier stop and worked his way
through the train. to the car named
"Snowdrop." Wellington was his first
victim here. His pushing manner,
the almost vulture-like rapacity OF his
cleaning eyes, and the very vui-
turine contour of his profile, his paimy
gestures. his thick lisp, and every
thing about him gave Wellington his
immediate pedigree.

Recent Developments in dairying
have caused large demand for a
dairy house which will fulfill sanitary
requirements and at the same time
be practical and inexpensive. For
those who are striving to improve
the quality of their products. such
building Is an absolute necessity.
Milk which is poured or strained in
the barn, or allowed to stand there,
is apt to be contaminated by germs
and to absorb stable Odors. The best
practice Is to remove the milk to
the dairy house as soon as each cow
is MIXED. Milk should also be cooled
Immediately; so the dairy house
should be provided with proper facili-
ties for this purpose.
While the dairy house should be
conveniently located 80 that the milk
ers do not have long walk from the
barn, it must be so placed that 1t is
free from communicating surround
ings. 1t should be built somewhat
away from the barn on well-drained
spot, and the drainage of the dairy
house itself should be carried well
away from the building. II possible.
the ground should slope from the
dairy house toward the barn. rather
than from the barn toward the dairy
house.
The principal purpose in building a
dairy house is to provide q place
where dairy products may be handled
apart from everything else. To carry
out this idea it is necessary to divide
the interior of the building so that
utensils will not have to be washed
in the same room where the milk is
handled. Thorough cleanliness must
always be kept In mind; therefore
there should be no unnecessary
lodges or rough surfaces inside the
building. so that 1t can be quickly and
thoroughly cleaned. Ventilators are
necessary to keep the air in the milk
room fresh and free from musty and
other undesirable odors. and to carry
OFF steam from the wash room. Win
dows are OF prime Importance, as
they let in fresh air and sunlight.
and facilitate work. In summer the
doors and windows should be screen
ed TO keep out flies and other insects.
1t is imperative that there should
be a plentiful supply of cold running
water at the dairy house II 1t is not
possible to have regular water sys-
tenn, the supply may be piped from
an elevated tank fed by a hydraulic
ram, engine, windmill or hand pump.
The dairyman can Ill afford to spend
his time in carrying water In pail
tn cool his milk and wash his uten-
sils.
For the proper sterilization of uten-
sils an abundance of steam or hot wa
ter Is needed. A pail or can may be
clean to the eye and yet may carry
numberless germs which will hasten
the souring of milk. cause bad flavor
In butter or cheese. or spread con-
tagion. After utensils are washed
clean they should be either scalded
with boiling water or steamed.
The dairy house should be SO built
that labor Is economical to the great
est extent. To do this the building
must be arranged 80 that unneces-
sary steps will be avoided.
II Is not possible to submit a plan
which will suit all conditions. but 1t
Is believed that the accompanying de-
sign will meet the needs OF the av-
erage dairy that ships either milk
or cream In cans. This plan Is

In this manner.
Belts, girdles. and sashes are strong
features of the fashions of the spring.

Narrow ribbons with ricot or fringed

The sticks of the new parasols are un-
usually long, some OF them being over
three feet, and in many cases the ribs
are gilded.
Tailored costumes OF a conservative
