"I mean it in all kindness -in self- defense. If you have been engaged so long, why nes., either make your en - rgement public, or marry?

Superior Cows For ]!ilk- Withoaet SaerUieing neer Qnainit's, While I do not believe that what is ternaecl the general purpose cow can., yucca`s fully compete with the eSc"lusive- ly dairy breeds, writes W. L. lung of .Kansas in the Boston Cnitivara'r, ret it must be admitted that tbere are many gond cows to he found anon, the beef breeds, and on almost every farm one can find one or more cows that are atbuve the average in dairy work, It is from' these cows that the future dairy ehonid come cu the average farm. Of course where dairying is to be made a specialty one should Legin with some special dairy breed, either by purchase or breeding from dairy bulls, anal grad- ing up, But the average farmer, who keeps froze two to half a dozen cows from which to raise calves and make butter for home use, selling the surplus, does not want the dairy breeds, because they are only profitable where one makes dairying a specialty. But rattier let farmers end out which are their best vows, then breed thein to a brill Whose mother was one of these beat flows, as well as the grandmother if possible, and ill as abt,rt time orae carr in this way get a berd of cows better than the average without much aaeri- A11t T a11loRTIIORy ylll..l'd11.

I cannot' where ono persists in this line, owing "= good judgment, they will be reasonably sure of success. But then thero is another point one must bear in mind. and to this I attach great importance, and that is the feed- ing and care of the calves. It is the easiest thing in the world to ruin a cow before she is six months old by im- proper feeding. and there is a world of difference in feeding a calf with an eye to beef and one intended for dairy work. If one is feeding for beef the food must be of such a character that it will form muscle and fat. If for the dairy we want to build nervous force, which is directly tbo opposite. The nervous cow is never the fat cow or the cow that lays on fat readily. I am quite sure that many good cows bavo been ruined while yet calves by wrong feeding and care, The cow is largely a creature of babit, and the habit of laying on fat should never be encouraged in a calf intend- ed for dairy work. There is nothing on the farm that I watch more closely than the growing calves, as on the care the first 18 months of their lives largely de- pends their future usefulness. I want them where I can eee them every day, and see that their habits conform with the work for which they are intended. While we have only, and breed only, the dairy cow, yet were we in the posi tion of most farmers we would follow the above suggestions. No ironclad rule can be laid down, but determination to better one's condition can always be accomplished, and there is plenty of room for improvement along this line on thousands of farms. A cow that will give a profit over her keep might just as well be kept as one that runs her owner in debt. I see many opportuni- ties in the home dairy, opportunities which, if taken advantage of, would drive hard times from thousands of farms. wake some pretty fancy work.

Then he sighed to think now little happiness that could brine him. Ile followed the servant, and found Mr. Elides waiting for him; he had a packet with him. He bowed to Sir Clinton. "Mr. Cooper received this early this morning from. France, Sir Clinton, anal as it is marked `Immediate he thought that he had better send it to you at once." Sir Clinton took the packet; his hand trembled as he opened it. It contained a setter from France, from Seville, but written in French, in a hand that was strange to him. He read it hastily. It was from a Doctor Lecroix, written by the bedside of his wife, and it was to tell him that his wife, Mrs. Clifton, wee Tying in danger of death, and begged to see him. It added also that the writer, finding her almost alone, had provided her with nurses, and attended her himself, finishing with the words that Mr. Clifton was entreated to come at once, as he was now the father of a beautiful little son, whose birth had taken place on the fourth of the month, and Mrs. Clifton had been dangerously ill ever since.

"Clinton," she said, gravely, "I have otten wondered as to whether I dad right or wrong on the evening when I paid that visit to you. Sometimes I think that if I had not sought you, you would never have sought me -®m I right?" She was indeed so near the truth as to startle him.

'My address will be uncertain foe same time; I sham be traveling about. Tf yon write to me, send your letters, addressed to me, to my solieitoce, Messrs.

"No, not mysterious, certainly not; but, May, I must go. My train steels once; I have barely time to catch it" "Yon will take some lunch, some re- freshment before yon go, surely, Clin- ton?" "No " he replied; "I cannot; I want nothing. I cam only think of one thing now, and that as, I have to say good - by to yon." "But why need yon?

"I do," he said, hurriedly, taking her hand. "Yon must forgive me, and not think of it when I am gone. I am an- xious and half scared by this sudden news_" [TO BE CONTINUED,] - CHAPTER XXXIV. ' 1 j ;y;.. A MA'S OE MYSTERY. Sir Clinton rend that letter with the air of a man suddenly recalled from an - ether world he was dazed and bee :tendered. Daisy lying sick unto death, and he the father of a little son! Mr. Fades watched him narrowly - saw his face change from its expression of careless indifference to one of won- der and fear -saw the lips grow white, and the strong limbs tremble. "I 'hope, Sir Clinton," he said, "that you have had no bad news. Mr. Cooper thought it must be something very urgent." "I hope it may not turn out so bad," he replied, hardly knowing what tie said. "I am much obliged to you for your kindness an coming so quickly." "Mr. Cooper wished me to ask if you would be in London this week, Sir Clin- ton; he has some papers for you bo sign.„ "No; I start for France to -day. It may be some time before I ami In England again; business 'must wait until my re- alm. I will write a letter of instrno- tion to Mr. Cooper before I go." Some refreshment was brought for tbe clerk, and Sir Clinton took his leave of him. He went back to tthe garden, and it seemed to him that he. must be walking in his sleep, must be dreaming. There was the smooth, green lawn, the broad terrace with Its coot shade of trees: there was Lady Lewis acid Lardy May. He had not been away from them very Iong, yet a world seesn- IMPROVED SCREENS. some 7alodeat and Simple Ideas 'Mat Are Eerily Carried Ont. Perbaps nothing txcept the lamp shade has been more atrociously treated than the screen. Both so necessary and so suggestive of warmth and cheer, it is a pity that some device has not been created for better results. Wobavo seen recently a fire sceen that seems a possi- ble step toward betterment. It was simply a frame of cheap wood, about 2 inches wide by 1 thick, made into a square of emus 23 by 8 feet, supported on two feet, or standards, raising the frame four or five inches oft the floor. This square was covered with crimson or green linen, coarse, stout stuff and of good. color. Small brass headed nails closely placed held the two edges together. On the outer side was fastened. near the top, a brass ornament in Drench tlesign-a wreath or knot of rihbcn or something after this faehion.. A great variety of ornaznontation might be used with the brass. which may be purchased in the larger nand best hardware shope. but of course the very severity of the oue described was its merit. Another screen was without the wreath. but had, two rows of small brass beading all around it. They were. extremely neat. and, made in richer at,az«{'�,, would be quite elegant- The feet toast be well palated, black or red or gret'u. actordiug to the room they are to he used in. A better finished frame in the same weasureueaats, with a panel cf leather paper on one side and Java printed cloth ou the other, would also be good. The paper should be first pasted on cheap cotton cloth and the Java print lined with it. Howe of the woven tapes- tries, if carefully selected, look extreme- ly well The folding :amen. so desirable for warding off drafts. covering up the ugly heaters or giving privacy to a needed corner, may be ,made of linen or leather paper quite in the same way as the screens described above and is in- finitely better than the bizarre effects and novelties offered to the seeker after the latest fashion iu screens.

A holder Far umlaut.. One of the latest devices in fancy work is a holder for the always neces- sary hatpin. For the malting of the very dainty and novel one illustrated The Designer fur- nishes the fol- lowing direc- tions: Cut a tri - mender piece of cardboard for the back and cover it with silk or satin. Cut an- other triangular piece of lighter , cardboard or ,;;: crinoline about '^,'r'' twice as wide, but the same length. Cover this also with silk or other ma- terial and trim around the top with several HATPIN = MON. rows of baby rib- bon. A deep frill of lace may finish the npper edge. Bend this piece very care- fully, to look like a half closed sun- shade, as shown in the illustration. At the lower end sew the end of a penhold- er for a ferrule, hiding the joining with a bow of ribbon. The ferrule may be gilded or white enameled. Sew the bent piece of cardboard to the plain piece along the sides, making very neat, small stitches and holding it so that while the back remains fiat the front hoops out, making a place for the cush- ion. Make this of horsehair and cover the top with a puffed bit of china silk. A rounded and shaped piece of wood painted or gilded to match the ferrels forms the handle. It is best to have it long enough to reach to the bottom of the holder, where it is firmly tacked. It runs through the cushion top and the horsehair and is glued along its entire length. Two little brass rings are sewed to the back of the triangular piece near the top by which to hang the holder np. A ribbon bow gives a pretty finish to the handle. Oleomargarine In the South. The south is in a pitiable condition regarding the tameness with which she submits to be the favorite dumping ground for all kinds of adulterated food products. Our people, individually, complain about the frauds practiced upon them in this matter, but there is little organized effort made in any quar- ter to put a stop to these evils. In some southern states the influences of the cottonseed oil interests have up to this time been too strong to admit of legis- latigi against adulterated and counter- feit Ihrd and butter. While in Mexico recently we learned that the laws of that country were very strict in refer- ence to the sale of counterfeit and adul- terated food products of all kinds and that the laws are seemingly enforced with more vigor than with us. There oleomargarine and like products may be sold under their true names, but woe be onto the person or firm that dares to sell counterfeit for the genu- ine.-Sotlthern Dairyman. A DEADLY POISON. Persistently and strongly should the fact be emphasized that alcohol is a poison. Medi_ cal dictionaries define it as a poison. No well -.posted physi-. clan will to. -day hazard his reputation by denying that alcohol is as much and as real- ly a poison as arsenic or strych- nine or any other of those dan- gerous and deadly drugs that should never be tampered with by those unskilled in the sci- ence and art of nedieine, If the poisoned victim of in dulgence in intoxicating drink desires to be cured he must at once abandon the indulgence that has caused his disease. Saddening experience has proved how hard and some- tines almost impossible it is to do this. The cry of the, weak- ened and irritated nerves for the familiar relief of further indulgence becomes an over- mastering craving that only those who have fe it it can understand. The sufferer needs some substitute that will at once soothe and tone, --some elill'ui treatment that will Mixing Cream of Different Cows. Where many cows are kept and the milk is set for cream to make butter, loss often results from mixing cream that will not churn in equally short time. Of course when the first cream "breaks" there is no more churning, except the slow moving of the dash- board to gather the flakes of butter into one mass. The cream from a new milk cow and a farrow cow should never be churned together. The farrow cow may give very rich milk, but very little of its butter fats will be separated, while the butter from a new milk cow will all be separated from the cream in which it was covered overcome the fierce desire, eli- minate the accunxulated poi.. eon, and help nature to rebuild what folly has torn down.

I have no wish to drink at all and fen. splendid. I had tried to quit drinking often and lasted a while, but always went back. This time I feel that 1 have stopped liquor for good. I was always hard up before, but now I always have a roll and can buy things I could not afford before. My wife Is the happiest woman going and a look at her face is like a blessing. I thought I would lot you know how I felt about this cure, but cannot say all I feel. I wish you all success." The Samaria Prescription not only tones and builds up the system to its previous strength and virility, but abso- lutely destroys and obliterates the appetite for liquor. Men who wish to stop drinking but who have tried and failed owing to a weakened will power, and who have lost con- trol of themselves, can with the aid of this remedy cure themselves effectually in a r. short time. No necessity for going to a retreat or taking in- jurious hypodermic injections of mineral matter,which lodge in the brain and other tissues, to their permanent injury, sometimes causing insanity and frequently death, but an inexpensive home treatment. The cost will be less per dose than whiskey. The price of the Samaria Prescription puts it within the reach of the poor- est man. If he can afford to buy whiskey or beer he can afford our cure. Reader, don't hesitate, but determine, to throw off the tyrant now and be a free man and let your fu- ture efforts be for the benefit of your family and not the The Place For a Bed. Fashion in furnishing has, to a cer- tain extent, popularized the corner bed- stead, which looks very dainty truly with its pretty draperies, but oh, the unhealthfulness of so placing a bed! Consider the same air, cooped up within those dainty draperies and breathed and rebreathed again by the unfortu- nate sleeper; what a host of bad head- aches, not to mention worse ills, this method of arrangement meat inevitably entail. The bed should by rights be set immediately in the center of the room, so that a free current of air may con- tinue to circulate round it; but, failing the space for this, the head of the bed alone should be placed against a wall, the rest of the bed extending out into the middle of the room. It is better to be cramped for space than to sleep in unhealthy conditions. Bummer Coverings For Chairs. When preparing for summer, it should be remembered that there are a large number of quite cheap cretonnes suitable for loose chair covers or bed- room hangings in fresh, pleasing color- ings, so improving to our rooms during the hot months. No sitting room should be without its dainty covers during a part of the year, as not only do they givea delightfully cool appearance, but they protect the furniture from the ruinous result of exposure to tine sun and dnst, and it emerges looking in much better condition than if the pre- eantion had been neglected. saloon keeper.
