BaIfour's Impressions Of America.

6alIouFs impressions OF america.
Mr.. -Balfour has said in public sin
gularly little about his experiences in
America, but some day he may consent
to record his impressions. Should he
do so we may look for an entertaining
comparison between the house Of COM
mons and the house of representatives.
Here, for example, Is characteristic
circumstance which the reporters seem
to have missed,
The first stage Of the war crisis was
q kind of Baby Month in Washington.
Children, and sometimes very young
children, were taken into the visitors
galleries in order that they might car
fy into later life the memory Of being
present at an historic sitting, and on
the day of Mr.. Balfour's address to the
house good many members Of con-
gress had children with them on the
floor. The one congresswoman, Miss
Rankin, was accompanied by two ju-
venile relatives. It was remarked that
some Of the children in the galleries
were kept, overcome with sleep, to the
end Of the long night sitting at which
the war vote was Observation-Disclosures

KEEP MILK COOL AND CLEAN
Warm Weather Is Trying on Darymen,
but More Especially on Women
Keep Vessels Clean.

The season is rapidly approaching
when greater care must be taken Of
milk. Warm weather Is trying on the
dairyman, but more especially on the
farmers wife, who must care for the
milk from few cows. Preparations
should therefore be made to keep the
milk cool and clean.
The facilities for keeping milk on
the average farm are very inadequate.
Not enough cool space is available for
the average farm woman, hence she
has difficulties In saving the milk and
ripening the cream evenly.
In the first place, the milk vessels
are important. They should be of the
right kind, with no seams In the pans,
pals, etc., to harbor germs. There
should be plenty of vessels and they
should be kept scrupulously clean,
aired, steamed and summed occasion
ally.
A refrigerator is almost a necessity
on the farm these days. There are
many perishable foods as we'll as milk
to be kept. The cost of refrigerator
Is not great when the utility and econ
omy Of keeping foods are considered.

WHALES STOOD ON HEADS
According to Ships Officers, Largo
School Certainly Acted In q Most
Peculiar Manner.

This Is whale story, concerning
whales that stood on their heads, and
all vouched for by officers Of a fruit
steamer which arrived recently from
the tropics, according to recent issue
Of the Boston Evening Transcript.
And, seriously, the chief officer Of the
steamer intends to make written re-
bureau Of fisheries. The whales were
sighted south Of Nantucket shoals
lightship. During their respective
careers at sea the officers have seen
many whales, but none which behaved
In the manner Of those sighted on this
trip, aud it was the peculiar behavior
Of the leviathans, together with their
number, which attracted attention. Be-
tween 6 a. m. and p. m., according to
the chief officer, nearly 100 whales
were seen. For the most part, they ap-
peared TO be In shoal water, and from
poised with their tail-ends protruding
twenty or more feet above the surface,
according to the size Of the individual
whale. In the opinion Of the ships Of
f1cers, the whales pursued these tactics
to obtain food fish swimming close to
the bottom. On the other hand, num-
Der Of the whales again, according to
the mariners, f1oated on the surface

In addition to the story, the steamer
brought %, 600 punches Of bananas.

MILK FEVER is BOTHERSOME
Danger Among Cows Appears Great.
est In Late Summer-keep Animal
in Barn and Feed Hay.

Milk fever is rather serious trou-
BILE with good cows, as it is said that
none but well-bred, heavy-producing
COWS have it. It seems to be more
prevalent among CRASHED cows.
The danger of milk fever among
cows seems to be greatest in late sum-
mer or early fall, notably June, July,
August and September The recon-
mendation is to put the COW In the
barn and feed dry hay about a week
before she comes fresh. Three or
four days before calving the cow Is
given dose Of salts with a little GIN
ger. Another dose Is also given Ave
or six hours after the calf is born. A
bucket Of warm water should be given
the cow two or three times day. She
should not be allowed to have cold
water for some time.

At the Theatres

The Royal Romance will be the
attraction at the Classic this evening.
The sensations one experiences when
"the chickens come home to roost" are
nothing compared to those felt by the
William Fox Players who produced
Royal Romance" with Virginia Pear
son when they found themselves des-
tined to spend several weeks in a GER
tain mountain inn in North Carolina.
In the words of John Foley, Of the Fox
casting office, who went with Miss
PearsOn's company as business man
ager, "The Mountain Inn, to all out
ward appearances was a modern build
ing with all the comforts of home. To
all inward appearances it was the

"The Divorce Game" is the title Of
one Of the most fascinating offerings

youth and love. 1t is thoroughly pleas

delightful key in which "The Divorce
Game" is played. Alice Brady is SIM
ply splendid in this attraction. See it.

corning the business adventures of a
young man, part which is capably
handled by Bryant Washburn. The

tail with the healthful longings Of a
youthful married couple. We like to
see anybody bluff anybody else, if the
job is done humorously, and that is
the business angle taken up by the pic
ture. The titles are clever, and the
photographer has made effective use
of the double exposure.
"The False Friend, featuring Rob-
ert Warwick and Gail Kane will be
the attraction at the Majestic Thurs
day. A particularly delightful sum-
mer home forms the background fo1
several of the scenes in "The False

such good time at the resort that
they were loath to come back to the
studio.

weeks. Lot received silage alone for

The milk yield decreased with both

CUTTING HAIR OF ROYALTY
In Some Countries 1t Is Performed
With About as Much Ceremony
as ls Wedding.

In some eastern countries children's
hair is not cut until they are ten or
twelve years of age, the girls then be-
ing considered manageable. Up to
that time it is coiled on the top of
the head and adorned with fresh flow
erS.
When the day for cutting comes,
there is a grand ceremony, accompan-
led by much feasting.
One who was present at q royal
hair-cutting tells us that the favorite
of the harem was robed in long, flow
ing garments of silk and lace, confined
at the waist by golden girdle. Her
long hair, coiled for the last time, was
fastened with diamond pins, which
cleaned and glittered among fresh
white flowers and green leaves like
pearly drops Of morning dew.
There, in the presence of the ladies,
her father and an officiating priest,
surrounded by her maidens, some 200
in number. she knelt under a canopy
of flowers and leaves while prayers
were chanted.
Then, the beautiful tresses being I'M
bound, her royal father, dipping his
fingers in rosewater and drawing them
caressingly over her head, clipped off
about an eighth of an inch Of hair and
threw it into a golden basin, deposit
ing at the same time, on aegreat salver
placed ready to receive them, presents
Of jewels and gold.
The priest cut the next piece, her
mother the next, and SO on, each guest
serving In turn until the little lady was
shorn.
All gave costly gifts, intended for
her marriage dower-princes, minis
tiers of state and dignitaries of all
sorts, who waited in the outer courts,
sending in theirs by attendants. The
day ended In feasting and display OF

Profitable, However, to Feed Sufficient

however, to feed cows a sufficient

to have them in good physical condi-

Cows should be dry for six 70 eight
