C. JI. Winslow. The I! outlook for the future sterns much more I hopeful, for all three have practically 1 � united in one summon scute of pore's as e! the standard of excellence, and in future there should be no wide difference be- - tween Ayrshires of the different sections. If Ayrshires are to be kept as one e breed cull one general fumile there roust e bo more attention paid to breeding after the pattern as laid down by the different associations, and as Riese associations have united on a common standard, there is no reason why breeders may not In all the different countries work in unison to a given standard. The scale of points as it is to -day in all Ayrshire countries calls for a perfect dairy cow with utility as the chief characteristic. It is for the personal interest and com- mon good that each breeder strives to bring eta own herd up to the highest type of excellence as stated 111 the uni- form scale, because that scale describes the perfect Ayrshire cow. The strongest point of the Ayrshire cow, around which cluster all the other poilils, Is the udder and teats, and this is the Barite In all countries underthe re- cent revision. A large square udder with four quarters of equal capacity, held strongly up on the belly, running well forward arid backward, up out of the way of dirt and injury is essential; also four good-sized teats wide apart on the four corners of the udder, In length from 2y, Inches to 3% inches, It needs no argument to show that other things being equal, a cow with the above udder and teals is perfection, and if breeders of A%rshires would all o1Ne to produce this style of udder on (heir cows, it would in itself cover a multitude of imperfections in other pru'Is of the body. A wide latitude is given to color, and a breeder can almost suit himself end his trade at this point, for it allows a cow to be all red, or all brown, or all while, or any combination of (hese colors. Even brindle or some roan is allowed, but not desired. All scales cull for an upright horn on an Ayrshire, but do not designate size, it being left to the taste of the breeder le give his cows a slim upright horn or ono of larger size. The other points in the perfect cow are arbitrarily placed, and aro such as indicate dairy ability in the ratio of perfection, and should be closely adhered to by all breeders. A clean, bony head, with broad fore - heed, dished face, broad muzzle and wide nostrils, strong jaws, eyes full and bright, wit4 a placid expression, fine care carried alert, all indicate a dairy cow of the highest type. and any depar- ture from the above detracts from her ability as a plr,ducer in the (airy. A clean line neck finely joined to head and shoulder, gives n feminine look and its characteristics of dairy excellence. A slight shoulder, sharp at the withers, wide at the base, smoothly blending into the body, a chest deep and full, a strong, straight back, sharp and open jointed, broad strong lours• n large abdomen, long broad ribs, wide apart. all indicate a strong constitution, with- out which the cow is n failure in the dairy.

Bailiff Expires When Threatened With Divine Vengeance. in a small country town not far from Warsaw, Poland, a death hes Just oc- curred under dramatic and sensational circu►nstnnces which has node a pro- found impression on the peasantry throughout the country. They are con- vinced that it was the result of a mira- cle, and that a young girl was the agent through whom divine vengeance was wrought. It appears that the local squire, like, many of his kind, fell upon evil days and was obliged to borrow a sum of money on mortgage. But, owing to agrarian riots, strikes, cattle diseases, bad crops and a host of minor misfor- tunes, ho was unable to pay even the interest on the money for some time. Tho mortgagee. a woman, by the way, determined to evict her debtor from his estate, end charged a bailiff to perform that unpleasant duty. \Veen the bailiff arrived at the manor he was met by tho squire, who be- seeched him, with tears In his eyes, to give a few days' grace, es his ten -year- old daughter was just recovering from n bad attack of scarlet fever, and 11. would mean death if she were turned out into the fields in the raw Nower)iber weather. But the bailiff refused, saying that he wits aching under his client's orders, which told him not to delay a single day, no mutter what excuses were !wide. "But this is not en excuse," protested the distracted father. "If my prayers cannot move you, perhaps the sight of my suffering child will." Still protesting that he could do no- thing to postpone the eviction, the bai- liff followed the squire Into the sick- room. When the chikl saw hien end learned why he had come, she raised her pale, thin ince from the pillow and, looking at him with wild eyes, said, in a trembling voice: "You have ruined my fattier and my mother, and now you're going to turn me out of my home to die 1 God will most surely punish you for such wicked- ness r No sooner had ate uttered these words Than Iho bailiff turned pole. stnggered and fell, face forward, on the ground.

It was n sovereign In one steward, half :: sovereign to another, and cigars and drink; all round to anybody who would ha v0 111i'111. Ile was 1110 son of a Wall Street broker, and had been sent on a little tour of Europe to open his eyes n bt before settling down to work; and i guess his eyes were opened wile ei:ough before he got back to THE PARENT I100F. Not content with making his money fly on board, lie Brennen determined to give away all his belongings before he even reached this side; and when I gave tum a friendly caution he laughed 111 illy ince. However, the laugh was on my side not many weeks litter, when niy young gentleman turned up among tto steerage passengers, looking very rue - fu' and woebegone. To get back at all, he told me, he had to pawn his watch; and when his passage was paid he had just half a crown In his pocket. How- ever, 1 lent him a so•ereig n and some of the men he had treated so lavishly before made return for his generosity s.i that he didn't faro at all badly. This young fellow confessed that no bad hast n good lime so long as his mcney lasted, and he had certainly le•u'nt a lesson which was perhaps well worth learning. One young mon, who will some day be a millionaire a few limes over, left New York, with his pockets well lined, but he fell into rho clutches of some card -sharpers we had on board, and by the time we reached Liverpool he was pretty well cleaned out. Ile had, however, enough left to take hon to London, where ho hoped 10 get ast?istance from some friends of els father. in London further disasters awaited him; he found that his friends had just brit for the Continent; lee fell again Into bad hands and was robbed ef his watch, trinkets, and remaining mcney, and within a few days of set- ting foot In England FOUND HIMSELF PENNILESS. There was grit as well es pride in the lad; and he determined to make his %•ny home without asking help from anybody. He raised a few pounds on his clothes, tramped every mile of lite way back to Liverpool, and had just sufilcient money left to pay his passage in the steerage.
