How has 11 happened that you did not learn from them?" "Both Dora and Nelly ore new add,- tions to tete neighborhood, and since t Pricey them we have been so busy with golf that we never thought about danc- ing." "B• _ ides, one girl can never teach an- c:tHee properly," chimed in Dora, "why it is so different to have a gentleman part- ner that the girl who learned to dance with a girl would find herself all at sea cut on the floor of a ball -room with one et the lords of creation; isn't that so, Eleanor?" Nelly Lawrence nodded approvingly. During this soliloquy the strong aril never left Corine's supple waist, and the sensation this caressing action pro- duced upon the girl could be plainly read in her face and drooping eyes. It was the first masculine arm that tend ever encircled her. No wonder her little heart fluttered so that ho could not help but bear its throbbings, and he smiled under his silky, drooping mus- tache, telling himself that the gaine was as good as won, by the fateful card opportunity had dealt him In Corine's desire for him to teach her to waltz. He knew better titan she did, that that waltz would cost sweet Corine her heart. She was an apt pupil, from the first, though shy and coy, trembling and crhn• coning under the pressure of his clasp; but she was soon able to glide around the green..\•. a nil and backward and for- ward with as much ease and grace as though she had danced. for years. "Bravo," whispered Forrester, clasp- ing the yielding form closer still, "you are the very poetry of motion, the god- dess of rho dreamy waltz, a veritable Juno." "I wouldn't dance loo long the first time, Corine," warned Dora, "the exer- tion may be too much for you; your face Is already flushed terribly, and you look seedy to drop." Conine tried to raise her eyes to Gil- bert Forrester's Luce, but failed. "One moment more of heaven on earth. and then I will release you," ho whispered, thrillingly, !n tho passion- ate, lender voice which he knew so well how to assume. Not one of the little party heard the Bound of approaching footsteps. no one knew of the near presence of an Intrud- er. until the word, 'Stop!" was thun- dered out on the sweet, balmy, sunshiny air of the summer morning. There was a little cry of fright from three feminine throats, for, turning quickly In the direction from whence the vol.:e proceeded, they sow Lawyer Barlow standing there, his swarthy face livid with rage.

"Certainly, sir." stammered Dorn, con- fusedly. as did also Nelly; Mr. Forrester bowed with all the undaunted grace el a Chesterfield, and Corine, bursting with sorts and dire mortification, fled precipitately to the house, to lock her- self in her own room and cry her very heart out In outraged pride. humili- ation end anger. such as could only turn in the fiery heart of n Barlow.

G. L. McKay says: It was my privilege a few ye'lrs ago to visit the dairy countries of Europe. I found 1. there farmers dairying successfully on land worth 8300 or 3400 per acre. I also found in some places that they were importing American corn to feed their dairy cows, and then meeting us in open competition in English market. I could not help but think how much more successfully we could dairy in the great State of Iowa where we had all the raw material at hand. It has been demonstrated in the var- ious parts of the world, especially in the denser populated portions of Europe, that the cow i4 a more economical pro- ducer than the ox. Where you have a hand separator you can have your milk in the best pos- sible condition for feeding the calves, the pigs or tete chickens, and the butter- fat you can sell to the creamery. The man vvho can sell 330 to 335 worth of butter fat per ccw, and at the seine time raise a good calf, has nothing to fear from hard times. We have no trouble at the present time in getting profitable returns from the cow. The successful dairyman tries to keep a large supply of succulent food for his cows tete year routei. For winter feed- ing ensilage approaches nearer summer conditions than any other food. Alfalfa and clover hay aro two of the beet feeds that a dairyman can grow. it takes about GO per cent, of the food that a cow consumes to tnnintain her, nd we should get our profits from the xlra food consumed, so we can see the ecessity of giving an abundant supply f fond. It has been demonstrated in a mint- er of places that cows coming in in he tall will give about 25 per cent. nore Milk than cows coming in in the pring. The reasons for this are ob- vious.

U1s1:.1srS. Rheumatism, Neuralgia and Gout Will Soon Become Extinct. An Italian doctor, the Chevalier Ce- sare Ballebene, maintained before the Therapeutical Society of London the other day that he bus discovered a new and certain cure for gout, rheumatism and obstinate neuralgia. An exhaustive parer on the subject was rend by an English colleague of the Chevalier. the tatter's acquaintance with the English language not being sufficiently intimate to allow him to undertake the task. Dr. 13allabene avers that he has visi- ted England for the purpose of relieving poor sufferers from the ailments .nleet- tioned, which are rendered especial, tee. acute by the cold and dump climate. Ila believes in the theory that the primary cause of rheumatic and gouty diseases is an infectious element, prob- ably composed of micro-organisms clr- culating in the blood. For the destruc- tion of these microbes he has prepared it chemical compound which he asserts has proved most eMenelous. Al first he experimented on frogs and rabbits, and then tried his rerftedy on human patients. Of 1,300 people In Italy and Germany, of ages verging from 0 to 85 years, und illnesses dating from a few months to thirty yenrs, 90 per cent. were completely or partially cured. The treatment is hypodermic, and Dr. 11'nllabene confidently Mates that neural- gic and rheumatic patients are virtually cured after a few days. end no had re- sults fellow. The preparation ie injected by means of the common prevalz syr- inge by Introducing the needle deep into tile muscular tissues. Tho imposing name of "anihralgnni- con" has been given to the new remedy. It is a Greek word meaning "tho van- quisher of pain," and Is appropriately applled If the compound effects all that its discoverer claims for it. 'lite paper was very favorably re- ceived by the society, and many in. quirks were addressed to Dr. Rallaliene on the subject of the effects produced by the remedy, which were considered to bo satisfactorily answered.
