Paying in Dresden China.

Little pieces of red-brown china
bearing the usual Dresden mark are
being passed from hand to hand in
Saxony. 1t is not that people are bar
tering their cups and saucers or ara
getting rid of the contents Of their
china cupboards, nor are they making
each other presents of the delicate
porcelain for which the mark of Ores
den has been noted.
A new coinage in porcelain has been
put into circulation to suprsede small
paper money, and one of its valuable
assets is the fact that it can be
washed, so no one need complain Of
dirty money. The little red-brown
discs have met with hearty welcome,
and the factory of Meissen has never
sent out anything more popular than
these little pieces Of china that are
too small for plate, too shallow to
hold water and not adorned with any.

CAUSE or TEAT AFFECTIONS
Hands of Mixer Should Be Kept
Clean and Finger Nails Trimmed
Quite Closely.

Milking with uncleansed wet hands
IS fertile cause of teat affections
The teats and udder should be
sleansed each time before milking
and the mixers hands also should be
kept clean. The finger nails of the
mixer should be kept close-trimmed
and when milking care be taken not to
squeeze the tips of the teats too hard.
Such bruising is the cause of a condi-
ton which we have termed ''corns" Of
the teats. The skin becomes hardened,
horny or caIloused and milking then
becomes difficult, or the milk sprays
during extraction. Dirty and con-
Eliminated stall floors and allowing
cows to lie upon dirty, wet ground, or
wade in stagnant water or drag their
udders through wet and filth on the
way to the stable are other causes;
and common cause of sores on the
tip of the hind teats is bruises from
stepping upon them when crossing a
sill into the stable or by trampling In
narrow stalls.

within him and his soul was full of the
pride of his errand. He ran far and
fast. But when he reached Asia, and
climbed among the bearded mountains,
deep in the holes where there was no
snow he saw CLEANS of yellow.
"What is this strange color in the
white world?" said the man. He
stopped and looked. And then he
went little nearer. And almost be-
fore he knew it, he had the yellow
things in his hands. At once his green
cup turned bright yellow and he cried
out in amazement and fear. Then he
saw that his hands were yellow, too.
And he knew thas he could not bear
the great message.
So he stayed in the mountains with
the yellow things, which were grains
of gold. And ever since then he will

tiger. "Do you not know that | am

with one blow of his white paw he
struck the little deer dead.
Instantly its blood DYED his green
cup red; and white tiger knowing
that he could not bear the great mes

anguish. That is why the tiger is
striped red now. And the red lilies
are called tiger lilies because they look

Swift and straight the gray geese

set a girl, beautiful and gentle, with
bright hair, and eyes that were the
only blue thing in all the world, fol
the sky was not blue then, but gray

a cup.
Off flew the messenger, twittering
with Joy and pride. But when it was
far north it saw a bit of bright blue
high in the air. That was where the
blue sky, impatiently waiting for the
deliverance of the sad old King, had
torn away just tiny corner of cloud
and was looking down slyly.
"Oh, beautiful sky!'' cried the little
bird. Il know that | should not stop,
but l must look at you and sing just

And it sang. The green cup fell to
earth, and became blue as the sky.
So did the little bird. That is why
the bluebirds always come ahead OF
Spring now and why the iris Is so
blue and beautiful early in the year.
"There is none left now, little
Spring, to bear the great message"
said the sun sadly. There is none

Weeping and bleeding, she came at

the woman appeared in the portals

that echoed through the world. II

The old white King arose with P
glad face and reached his wrinklet
hand out for the green cup. He
pressed II to his face and inhaled the
smell of the growing thing. And in

So the Easter lily became white.

of the players have spread to wider
circle. &.,s w.
This year the scandal is not confined
alone to the distinguished stars Of the
company This season the noisome mess
