Just Dream of Love.

Turkish girls seem to prepare them
selves for marriage in the absence of
lovers. They are woOed by dreams
and sweet thoughts; their faces be-
come tender and their voices cooling
during the period when their parents
are making inquiries for a suitable
husband for them. But it does seem a
pity that these pretty and charming
girls should never experience in any
degree that most delightful process of
courtship. Perhaps when they emerge
into the freer life that seemed prepar-
ing for them until the war arrested
progress, that will be n of their
gains.-Exchange.

A FAITHFUL TOILER
Does Not Drop His Shovel as Other
laborcB Do When the Whistle
Blows.

There is q much lower percentage
of ~criminality. immortality and insanity
among the Italians than among many
other immigrant races. Willard Price
writes i'm the World Outlook. AS for
dependency, statistics for a represent
alive year showed that out of every
$4,000 Italians in the city of New York
there was only one in the a~lmShouse
on Blackwell's island. James Forbes.
chief of the mendicant department of
the c. O. s.. says he has never seen or
heard of an Italian tramp. There are
practically no drunkards among the
Italians.
The immigrant from Italy proves TO
be a faithful and cheerful worker.
When a contractor engaged i'm building
a city sewer was asked why he had
only Italians in his employ he replied:
Because they are the best workmen.
and there are enough of them. If an
Italian down in that ditch has q SHOW
elful of earth halfway up when the
whistle blows for dinner. he will not
drop it; he will throw it up: others
will drop it. And when the lunch hour
is over when the clock strikes the
Italian will be leaning on his shovel
ready to go TO work, but the other fell
lows will be out under that tree and
will be three minutes getting 10 the
job, and three minutes each for $50
men is not a small item"
The Italians are industrious. good
natured, very affectionate toward chill
dren. courteous and polite often to the
point of dishonesty. generous and self
sacrificing. But the impulse of these
excellent qualities is offset by the
Italians dense ignorance. which sen
fences him TO spend the rest of his life
after he reaches America in the drudg-
cry of unskilled abor.

CORRECT WAY TO MILK COWS
Scrape Droppings Into Gutter ana
Work Teats and Udders Clear
Keep Hands Smooth.

Before commencing to milk the
droppings of the COWS should be
scraped into the gutter and the teats
and udders worked clean and wiped
dry. Always milk with clean hands,
and if your hands are hard and rough
keep a cup of goose grease or hard
and sweet oil at the stable, and once
Il day, or before milking. rub a little
on the inside of your hands; just
enough TO make them feel smooth.
Some of the grease should be rubbed
on the teats if they are rough or cut
with briars. An expert will milk a
COW giving two gallons of milk in
five minutes. a steady, eve motion,
filling the teat with milk at every
pressure of the hands, is the most
rapid way of milking and the most
agreeable to the cow.

A person well skilled in geography
asked a loan of a friend, stating that
he had been in all quarters of the
globe, and had friends in each. He
was asked their names and dealings.
"Oh." said he, II have often dealings
