One of the greatest drawbacks in dairying is the diffioulty of seguring honest, faithful help. There is gen- erally no complaint to 'make so far as pecuniary matters are concerned, but there is honesty in another direction to be considered says V. M. Couch in an exchange. The ,majority of milk- men are neither strict nor particular in the performance of their work. when the employer's eye is not upon them. There are but very few people who can find pleasure in milking a num- ber of cows morning and night, month in and month out, yet it .must be done with the most perfect regularity and thoroughness. The ud$er must be emptied to the last drop, andthis if is not done every lime, the supply will be likely to fall short every, time. Na- ture, finding that more milk has been produced than is taken from the udder, will abstain from producing so much milk and devote the food to the produc- tion of fat or muscle. Almost% anybody Can milk acow, but there are. few who ban do it as it should be 'done. It is an art, and the man who can do it properly is worth more, to the dairy- mah than any other help. The art of milking is to draw it out steadily, quickly (by no means hurriedly) and )completely. Scarcely any two cows are exactly alike in disposition and in the character or nature of their teats and udder. Some are hard to milk, and have very small apertures; some have tender teats; some cows are veryt easy to milk; and some cows are dull, while others are lively and nervous. Now it is quite adifficult matter to find a man who will trouble himself to study the individualities of the various cows, and try to humor their caprices or adapt his plass to their peculiarities. He is anxious to get the, job done a.s quickly as possible. The cow that milks the easiest, is the favorite, and bones off by far the best., but he sits down beside the hard milker with a kind of grudge against the supposed failing, He expects some trouble with the timid one, and this very fact is likely to make the trouble appear. The animals know him and his temper, and ways far better than he knows theirs. 'hey must be humored and put into al gentle mood. They may be forced into submission, but they ougbt, in- -ql pe ensead ao persoa eq of 'Gaols to willing oompliance. If they are roughly handled, approached hastily, and without any care for their 'mood," it irritates and worries them. The fret - 1 M. C. DICKSON, W. E. DAVIS, Dis, Pass. Agent, G. P. & T.

A few evenings ago a gentleman step- pers from a train at one of the London stations, when a young lady skipped up to him, threw her arms rapturous- ly about his neck, and kissed him many times, saying, "Oh, papa, I'm so glad you have come." The old gentleman threw both arms around her and held her firmly to his breast.. Soon she looked up into his face, and horror stood in her eyes. " Oh, my I You're not my papa I" she said, trying to free herself from his embrace. Yes, I am," insisted the old gentle- man holding her tightly ; " you are my long lost daughter and I am go- ing to keep you in my arms, until Iget a policeman." When the officer arrived he found the old gentleman's diamond pin in the girl's hand. 1 lborn of Brooklyn, Mrs. Annie Muelborn 9 , N Y., the mother of six children, tried to •ornmit suicide by hlva,lot%ing her wedding ring. ting, agitation and the worry make them fall short in quantity, and within of this dowry is fixed by the Govern - a very short time the deorease in the went.

It the married ranks. The Italian army Ls next to impossible to restore this regulations fix the limit of a bride's 'condition by entrusting cows to the dowry, but the law Ls frequently brok- care of even the most careful persons. i en, for it has been recently estimated Under proper feeding and kind treat- ment, the udder of the cow' becomes distended with milk, and• when the time arrives, she expects to be reliev- ed of this burden. If, the milker un- derstands the cow she looks to him as her friend, and yields up( her milk with pleasure, because the distention of the udder is painful to a certain extent. But when a cow becomes trou- blesome, tries to kick over the pail, will riot give down her milk, and so on, there is a cause for it, and the cause will generally be found outside the tete. She hes not • een properly itraw and pay a good price for it, and tre glad to 'haul it themselves, Other :ovations are favorably situated and paper mills will take agood deal 'of it. if the straw is stacked properly and the grain has been out ire comparative greenness, it will make very good feed for almost all kinds of stook. It is a splendid winter feed for work horses, and we believe a great deal more of it could be fed to advantage. We one day rode on the cars from a looality where the straw was all burned to get it out of the road to one where the farmers carefully housed every bit of the straw they equld get in their barns, and then did not have enough. In this district you could travel a whole day and not see a etraw stack. You could see plenty of stubble fields that indi- cated that small grain was grown, but no straw stacks, all of the straw being housed in capacious barns. NEW METHOD OF PRESERVING MEAT. .A new method of preserving freshly killed meate has been discoveredvera d by the Danish zoologist. August Fjel- strup, already well known through his method of condensing milk, without sugar. The system (according to the printed reports) has stood a remark- ably hard three months' test at the Odense (Danish) Company's slaughter- houses, in a very satisfactory man- ner. The animal to be used is first shot or stunned try a shot from a revolver (loaded with small slugs) in the, fore- head, in such a way as nob to injure the brain proper. As the animal drops senseless, an assistant cuts down over the heart, opens a ventricle, and al- lows all the blood to flow out, the theory of this being that the decom- posing of the blood, is almost( entirely responsible for the quick putrefac- tion of fresh meats. Immediately thereafter a briny solution (made of coarse or fine salt, more or less strong, according to length of time meat is to be kept) is injected by means of a powerful syringe through the other ventricle into the veins of the body. 'l'he whole process takes only a few minutes, and the beef is ready: for use and can be cut up at once. This me- thod has been examined and very fa- vorably reported on by the general councils at Odense and Aarbaus, and also by many experts. Sonnerberg, April 27, 1898. DOWRY OF BRIDES. In almost every country there are restrictive conditions in force with re- gard to the marriage of army officers. In Russia especially is this to be found, as no circumstances will permit the marriage of an officer under the age of 28, and not even between that and 28 years, unless the bride's dowry is a sum sufficient to allow him to keep his money for his personal use. The limit that only about one eighth of the mar- riages have occurred under the proper conditions. The other seven eights are attended with all the inconvenience of a marriage not recognized by the civil law. A CERTAIN CLAIM. Emerson. writing to Carlyle after the death of Margaret Fuller, says of her, "Without either beauty or genius, she hada certain wealth and generosity of treated, and she resents t. If, her de- nature which have lent a kind of claim livery is slow, perhaps the milkman on our conscience to build her acairn." has been too hurried, and hurts the teats in trying to force the flow, if As we read these words of the mystic timid, he may have been too hasty or philosopher, so full of the knightly abrupt. At any rate it is always safe spirit, we picture that charmed circle to look first for ;the fault in the man and not in the cow, lis utexity in feeding and perfect gentleness and kindness in dealing with oows, are es- sential to success. Any breach of these rules is inevitably marked by a falling off in the yield and a conse- quent diminution of profits. STACKING STRAW. We believe that not enough import - AT THE TOP OF ST. PAUL'S. IT IS A VERY WEARY AND DANGER- OUS PLACE TO CLIMB. But the Ascent Is Rewarded by a Close in. speeUon or the World's Largest Hall, 'Which Crowns the 'top. It is in contemplation to build for the forthcoming Paris Exhibition a mighty model of the earth itself, with oceans, continents and countries plain- ly marked out upon its surface. When this extraordinary work is completed— if it ever is—it will take rank as the biggest ball in the world. But, until then, this distinction belongs to the wrought -iron globe which surmounts the dome of our national cathedral. A pilgrimage to the top of St. Paul's is a trip to be undertaken once, in one's youth, and once only. The nt of the ascent, com- mencement c t true, is is simple enough; the broad,shallow steps being apparently designed for the express object of luring the un- wary one upward and onward. After the Whispering Gallery is passed the passages grow narrower and more tor- tuous; and the way wended becomes darker and dustier. It is not until the Golden Gallery is reached, how- ever, 800 feet above the floor of the dome, that the real difficulties begin. From here the ascent is by a series of iron and wooden ladders; some set at a slight angle, others QUITE PERPENDICULAR. Up, up, up, amide. maze of stays, joists and brackets!

At, some farms be was given two or three good men as helpers, but at ot her places a like number of lazy a.nrl impudent hoys made up the straw stack force, and to force these hoys to do the, right thing was simply an impossibility. We believe thal no farmer who has small grain to thresh nen afford to stack him straw in acareless manner. It may he that the straw is not needed on the farm for feed or bedding, but if there is no ot her reason for not stacking it, it should he kept an the farm to help contribute fertility at the right time. When straw is plentiful t.bere is usually no sole for it at any price, hut when n year of comparative soareity °omen it melle readily.

It is, after all, comforting to know that the majority will drop out of the line of service and east off earth's man- tle without leaving wish or will with reference to its disposal. It is a fact, ton, which should make us hopeful witb regard to the growth of mind and give better insight of the soul that some who at an early experience, before discipline had done its work, were anxious and ex- acting with reference to the last rest- ing -place of the body are not so later on. A higher philosophy and a wider vision have taught that unselfish ser- vice holds in itself the germ of Immor- tality. and that it builds Its own cairn, and thus, thought and labor and time being given to the desire to serve well until the latest moment of life, there im no room to be careful and troubled about a cairn for the body. the above regulation le not strictly en- forced to all. Besides, there are the steeple-jaoks and repairers, whose story coincides that the great ban is agreat hollow space filled with, dust and cob- webs. The cathedral authorities are very conservative. For instance, at one time the public was admitted to the inner Gulden Gallery, which runs round the interior of the dome, near its apex. In the year, 1866, however, a watchmaker named Stuart tried to throw himself over the railings. He was prevented. But on the afternoon ofthe ensuing day he leaped from the Whispering Gallery, a jump which was quite as effective, so far as he was concerned, for nearly every bone in his body was broken. The cathedral had, of course, to be reconseorated, and the authorities WERE VERY MUCH UPSET, so much so, in fact, that they decided to close, not the Whispering Gallery, from whence the unhappy man had perpetrated his terrible leap, but the interior Golden Gallery. And, moreover, it has remained closed ever since. Per- haps it is as well, for the protective railing is not above three feet high, and the steps, leading from the small wicket through which access to the gaffery is gained, down to the level of the gallery floor, are exceedingly steep. In fact, one seems to be plung- ing downwards into nothingness, the gallery being so tiny in itself, as hard- ly to count amid the vastness of the enveloping dome. One thing that must strike every pil- grim to the top of St. Paul's is the number of people who have not been deterred by the sacredness of the place from inscribing their names upon the walls of the galleries and stair- cases. Thousands of signatures have been cut deep into the stolid stone itself, but these, it will be noticed, mostly bear dates ranging from 1700 up to 1760. During that period. FREE ACCESS WAS ALLOWED to this upper portion of the cathe- dral, and no supervision whatever was exercised over visitors. Later on at- tendants were stationed at various main fabric of the building.

Nevertheless, the srcate that London's citizens take but scant interest In London's sights. cathedral authorities calmly continue to charge half a crown a head for per- mission to " ascend to the ball ;" a pro- ceeding which, to put it mildly, is not altogether defensible. It is to be won- dered how many people of the thousands who annually undertake that weary climb,are aware of the existence of that gridiron. Very few, it is to be presum- ed, and among the few are certainly not included the compilers of the guide-' books. Three of the best known, ALL OSTENSIBLY REVISED up to date, state that the ball is open to visitors, and that parties of twelve can gain admission at one time. And so they could, doubtless, if they were provided with a complete set of burg- lar's tools, and were able to use them while clinging to a frail ladder at a dizzy elevation.

But to those who insist upon an ex- planation a curious story is told, Itappears that in the autumn of 1884, the year rendered memorable by the series of criminal explosions which shocked and terrified London, an an- onymous letter was delivered to the cathedral authorities. Therein it was stated that dynamite was to be sur- reptitiously conveyed into the ball and therein exploded, the object being to hurt the erose from its place and send it crashing downwards, through the triple dome on to the heads of the hap- less worshippers below. This may have been a canard ; and, on the other hand, it may not have been, The dean and chapter inclined to the opinion that it was not. So did Scotland yard.

Afterwards a aura of £30,000 was devoted to repairing and ' completing the fabric, which is cone ! sidered by experts to be admirable he design and character. On the opening of Whitecross street prison in l815. Newgate ceased to be used for debtors, and since 1882 it has only been used for prisoners awaiting trial during sessions and for those condemned to death. ' The present Sessions House, next tq the goal consists of two courts—the old; court and the new court. The first mentioned is for the more serious cases. It is lighted from the north, and has a gloomy and sinister aspect. The first Sessions House was that of Stowe's time, and, singular to say, the trial court was open to the street, the back looking northwards. It was suc- ceeded by a court house, erected in 1773, and destroyed in the " No Popery " riots above alluded to, but rebuilt and enlarged in 1809 by the addition of the site of old Surgeon's Hall, where the bodies of malefactors were taken for dissection immediately after execution. The new Sessions House will be re-. built from plans prepared by Mr. Andrew Murray, the City Surveyor. and will be carried out at an estimated cost of £120,000. An Old Landmark of London Is Shortly to be Removed. Almost every one has heard of the Gaol of Newgate and the Old Bailey Sessions House fn London. Novelists have told of them and travellers have made a point of seeing them. And now the historio old buildings are to be pulled down to admit of the building 02 a grand new Sessions House on the ground they now occupy. The Lon- don Chronicle gives the following in- teresting particulars concerning them. (Newgate marks the site of an en- trance into a Roman city. The gate was made in the west side of the later City wall. In William the Conqueror's time a gate known as " Chamberlain," or the "Chamberlain's Gate," stood across the street between Warwick - lane and the present prison. That gate, rebuilt in the reign of Henry II. or his successor, was in the reign of Henry III. in common use as'a prison. In the year 1400 Henry IV. committed it by charter to the care of the Cor- poration..

It is the one certain and infallible cure for that depleting disease. It has been tried in Inany countries and under various conditions, and has never been known to fail. An old veteran writes:— "You may be interested to know my ex- perience many years ago with Ayer's Ague Cure. The year before the war I was in Kansas.
