I preO j\/j Osuine, you have ere this \ X heard me speak, is c-itybred. "All he knows of the country is theoretical knowledge, and. like all men of his class, he has some very peculiar ideas in regard to the rural regions. I am somewhat that way myself, though I beg leave to say that I think my original sound sense and judgment would, in an emergency, save me from committing any glaring mistakes if I .were suddenly to be transported to the P backwoods as a permanent inhabitant. But to return to rurdy. Until a very short time since he has religiously believed that there were certain binds of cows which gave buttermilk, and other kinds known as the sour-milk cows, and again a breed called the skimined-milk-and-water cows, the latter being the only kind known to the city milkmen, i For some time be and Mrs. Purdy k agitated the matter of keeping a cow. K / They had a baby which was being brought up on the bottle, and it was so S difficult to procure pure milk for the * little cherub that Mrs. Purdy coveted a real cow, so that upon her lacteal secretions her dear little Amabel Selina I might grow fat and rosy. L 4 Purdy is an indulgent man, and he I concluded to gratify the wife of his bosom. He came over three or four .weeks ago and discussed the matter with me. He looked over my farm fcooks on the subject of dairying, and found that there was no way a man could get rich so fast as by keeping a cow. A cow would average a pound ?f butter a day, besides the milk, said the books, and that was fifty cents, and it wouldn't cost more than twenty ' five cents a day to keep her. "Why, when I come to think of it," said Purdy, "I marvel that every man does not keep cows. It is better than getting a government contract from the postoffice department, to supply mail boxes, or patent locks for the mail w bags, or being head of a ring." k ' "To be sure," said I. nHh "So I should say," remarked Mrs. SHSbb Potts. "Now, the fact is. Potts," said Purdy, "I am not the best judge of cows in the world; in truth, the most I have ever seen of them was in landscape pictures, and in patent office reports, MM and I want the benefit of your judges ment in selecting'one. Suppose you HSH and I take a trip out to Belmont Meadows? to-morrow and buy one?" "T agreed to it, and on the morrow we Bet forth. 4'Be sure and have her gentle, and the children can play with her, and mBone that chews her cud like the cows Bre^lin poetry," was the parting admonition mgf of Mrs. Purdy, as 6he held up the baby ! for Purdy to kiss. ? He reached Belmont Meadows, and inquired of the station agent who had |H cows to sell. He directed us to the H farm of Major Grey, half a mile off. n|3 The major was at home, and he had Bgl cows to sell. Eleven of them. He j a&fi looked them over. Were they gentle? BIS Ob, yes, gentle as lambs, and kittens ?H^ thrown in. I But they had horns, Furdy said; he was a little shy of cows with horns. Hadn't the major* got some without horns? The major was mildly Indignant. Indeed he hadn't. They didn't make cows without horns out that way. No,! sir. If hornless cows were wanted, Purdy might seek them in some other locality. Purdy begged pardon, and said no offense was meant; only he thought, that horns would be in the way If the < baby was playing with the cow, and wanted to get on her back over her head. That was all. Pnrdy bought a cow. She was black ^ and white, and warranted five years old; a good milker, and gentle in all kinds of harness?or under all circumstances. He paid eighty dollars for her, and Ihe major was to deliver her at Purdy'? f house. The n*xt day she came. IAiirr iuc uiajvi ? man. >vmi r.w?(\ Purdy came over after me and Mrs. Potts. "Marier and I are goinjS^o milk our cow." he s?;.d. "and we want you to be there, if anything should happen. Neither of us exactly understand the science of milking, and your- advieo and judgment may be of use to us." So Mrs. Potts and I went over, and I took my books on dairying along with 1 me. The cow stood in the stable, chewing away, viciously, I thought, on a bundle gg of hay, and swinging her tail in a busi ness sort of way, as if she meant to 30 say she was mistress of the situation. Ha Mrs. Purdy and Purdy stood on one j || side of her, and Mrs. Potts and I stood b| on tne other. raj ^ "Now," said h "the book says 'tin* E? lacteal fluid should be drawn swiftly |1 and prompts from its receptacle, and HI the sooner the operation of milking is IS performed, the greater will be the | fcj| yield of milk.' " "Just so!" says Purdy, "so. of course. jH - it Is best for two of us to milk her! Two can do it quicker than one! You EM take her on one side, and I'll take her Bfli on the other!" H ^ "Are you going to milk her from the Ieids?" asked Mrs. Purdy. "It seems to me that it would be easier getting fit her from behind!" "That's all a woman knows!" said I. ''Pass on the pail, neighbor Purely? \e'U soon settle the question:" "Now, look here!"' said Mrs. Purdy, jrith emphasis,"I'll never give iny cou sent. Tons Purdy, for you to sit down in front of that cow's legs! You are a husband and the father of a family, and your life insurance has run out, and I won't! So there!" "Where shall I sit?" asked Purdy, in a discouraged tone. "Why. behind her, of course!" said Mrs. Purdy. "If I sit behind her. she may step backward!" said Purdy. "And if you sit before her. she may step forward!" said Mrs. Purdy. "And swing her tail in your eyes!" ~~:/i D,-v++r. r??i:u j*?lx. i uuo, "Tine." said I, believing it was always the best policy to agree witb Ariiniiiiii Maude. "Her milking arrangement is put in just tbe most inconvenient locality in the world!" said Purdy, impatiently. "Now. if ever I build a cow I'll have il where it is easier of access, and 1*U patent it! by jingo, I will!" After a little more discussion on the subject, which would not interest the reader, we placed the pail under the place where the milk was supposed to be. and Purdy squatted on one side of the animal, and I squatted on the other. We seized each a couple of teats and gave a squeeze. A stream of milk about the size of a knitting needle hil me square in the left eye, and another one hit Mrs. Totts on the ornamented skirt of her new eashmere dress, bul Purdy was more fortunate and hit the edge of the milk pail. "Ain't it jolly?" said he, pausing to wipe the perspiration from liis forehead. and just then, whisk came thai cow's tail right across his eyes, and he went over backward and the cow stepped forward and planted one foot in the pail and the oilier on my left great toe where there is a corn about twice the size of the toe itself. "Thunderation!" cried Purdy; "who : was that struck me?" "Is the milk spilled?" asked Mrs. Purdy. It was spilled, and the pail was dirty. Mrs. Purdy took it into the house, and washed it, and we began anew. "You hold her tail, Marier," said Purdy. "I don't run no risks of that kind again, now I tell ye." "I'm afraid." said Mrs. Purdy. "I'll help you," said Mrs. Potts, bravely, and as we squatted again the two women laid hold of that tail. You should have seen the result! That cow dropped the hay she was masticating, and did her level best to stand on her head. Her heels went up fully sis feet in the air. and Mrs. Purdy was flung down the trap door into the barn cellar, while Mrs. Potts, after turning two swift somersaults, brought up under the feet of Purdy's astonished horse, in the next stall. I found myself in the crib, hugging the milk pail to my breast; and Purdy, at the first charge, retreated to the haymow, where an hour afterward we dug him out, very much scared, but no bones broken. The cow went down street, and devoured the stock i*i trade of an applg woman, and was finally brought back by a policeman, who asked five dollars I l'cr. the job. Purdy begged him to take the cow for his pay. but the policeman indignantly refused. Ke wasn't in the milk line himself. Next day the cow was advertised for sale, and Mrs. Purdy and Mrs. Potts kept their beds, with a strong smell of I camphor pervading the house. I used arnica. The cow was sold for forty dollars, and the Purdy cherub is being brought up on city milk, but if you want to hoar profanity just you say "cow"' to Purdy.?New York Weekly. Bicycle Lawn Mower. For the proprietor of a moderate size suburban place who wants a carpetlike lawn without the expense of a horse-drawn or automobile grass cutter the bicycle lawn mower has been designed. A velvety stretch of green grass can only be maintained by frequent cropping, and the lawn mower of the ordinary type has its limitations. A lawn of even moderate proportions becomes a burden when it must be traversed frequently behind a lawn mower. The combination of the bicycle and lawn mower is an ideal one under such circumstances. The principle is much the same as that employed in the horse-drawn mower with the reciprocating blades. The rear wheels of the combination are geared to drive The cutting blades, which are supported on a movable arm, at a point abreast of the front wheel, where its operation 5s constantly under the oye or the operator. The position of these blades with respect to the ground is easily raised and lowered at the will I of the operator for the purpose of overcoming any inequalities in the surj face of the lawn. By the use of gearing connecting tne driving wheels with the cutters it i9 possible to cut a greater swath through the grass than with the ordinary type of lawn mower, and thus the lawn can be covered in much lesj time and with less exertion. Patient Never Knew. Paul Sick reports the case of a young man who died while being operated upon for tuberculous peritonitis under chloroform. His heart had stopped boating for forty-five minutes, bis respirations bad ceased and his pupils were widely dilated. Sick opened the pericardium, massaged the heart, and applied hot compresses to it while respiration was being performed. In half an hour the heart was beating strongly and regularly, and life was resumed, the patient living for twenty-seven hours, when he died in collapse. The cast* is illustrative of the extreme value of direct cardiac massage in cases of sudden death.?New York* Medical Journal. luveRt Yourself. There is probably no one element That enters so largely into the impedi- i ineiit in the average young man's road to success than a belief that the only way in which he can attain to a comfortnhlr* financial condition is through vrrll considered investments. While it is true that investments are i by no manner of means invariably j speculation, it is just as true that the , former frequently leads to the latter, ; and the latter to ruin. The sanest and I surest method of investment is to in- | vest oneself in such a manner as to increase one's potential value, and this is done most thoroughly and efficiently by training.-Augusta Herald. New York City.?Morning gowns are umong the necessities of life and s.iould be included in every wardrobe. Ibis tasteful one, designed by May MORNING GOWN. Manton, is eminently simple, at the same time that it is becoming and graceful and can be made from a variety of materials. In the case of the original, however, the fabric is a figured challie in blue and black and the trimming bands of black velvet ribbon. The cape collar, with its frill which falls over ihe shoulders, is peculiarly effective and gives the drooping shoulder lines which are characteristic of the season. The gown consists of the fronts, back and under-arm gores and is finished at its lower edge with a gathered flounce. The fronts are simply full and pjain, Dut tne duck is gatnerea and drawn in at the waist line where it is held in place by the belt. The sleeves are wide below the elbows, A Late Design 1 narrower above, und are finished with pointed cuffs. The cape is arranged over the neck, which is finished with a simple turn-over collar. The qualtity of material required for the medium size is twelve yards twenty-seven inches wide, eleven yards thirty-two incnes wiae, or sevejj juiuo forty-four inches wide. Silks and Velvets. Never were silks more lovely or more varied. There are a dozen new weaves, some of the richest showing disks and figures of velvet ombre of the color of the ground or a contrasting shade. Many of the light-colored silks are woven with velvet figures, flowers and leaves of the natural eolors. Martele velvets resemble em-1 bossed velvets, bnt have gone through ^ ?I a silgntiy uinereni prut-roe, mc pattern a va^ue, shadowy effect. The Flat J*TufT. Muffs are not out in full force until iater. The different styles, however, ire to be seen. The flat muffs predom.uate. One of mole and ermine is flat, a little narrower at tbe top than at :he lower edge. A large cushion muff Is of squirrel and a flat muff of the same iur is finished all around with rufiles. There are also the larger round muffs. Fur Scarf*. Scarfs of the different fnrs are soft ind pliable and tie once. In the smail?r articles of fur nearly as many are iine<l with satin as with fur. A pretty little Persian la nil) collar or scarf is m-oad.at the back with a point top and oottom. This is worn high around the throat or doubled to half the tvidth. Colored Brocades. Tne brocades are exquisite in design and coloring. The majority are in delicate tones, but there are also leep rich colors. A beautiful shade if red, with pale pink flowers and a [ouch of black introduced, would be jecoining to a brunette. Velvet Rit>l?on OuntR Satin. Wide velvet ribbon for neck, belt, hat . y or garniture has entirely usurped the place of satin, and some of the new velvet weaves are so soft?almost like panne velvet?that the ends do not roll up in the objectionable manner usual to velvet streamers. The Lace Waist. An ever useful separate waist is on? made of alternate strips of ribbon and lace. A pretty fashion is that of wearing with one of these waists, in white ribbon and lace, a pale-colored silk corset cover, trimmed with lace and ribbon rosettes. For Small Dojf. Small boys still revel in the baggy trousers and comfortable jacket of the Russian blouse suit, but for this winter the newest ones are of pin-striped velvet in grays and browns, with narrow gray, brown, black or white suede belts. Mole and Ermine. Mole and ermine are combined in & long collar or scarf and muff. The lower part of the muff is of the ermine, the moleskin joining it in scalloped ends. Flonncee on Heavy Material. Flounces are seen on skirts cf heavy muienui, iiuu uuuuic uuu miw , folds on skirts of transparent or soft material.

Switzerland is popularly known as the "playground'' of Europe, but few persons realize what this ineaus to the little country from the material point or view, xne jaiesi estimate ui me i number of persons who spend more or j less time in the Alps is 380,000. This I estimate includes only those who go! there for curative or. recreative pur-! poses. The average length of sojourn of each of these 380,000 is between two Jand three weeks. The total amount of money paid over to proprietors of hotels and pensions each year is between 86,000.000 and 98,000,000 francs, of which twenty per cent, comes out of the pockets of the natives. Foreign visitors therefore pay about $15,000,000 a year for board and lodging and an additional $3,500,000 to railway companies and owners of vehicles. It is estimated that this leaves a gross profit of $12,375,000, of which not less than $6,500,000 must be deducted for depreciation and improvements, leaving an estimated net profit of $5,625,000. As the capital outlay is estimated at $110,000,000. the interest on the money is not excessive. Switzerland contains 1S90 hotels, pensions and private lodging Louses for the reception of visitors, in which are 104,800 beds. Of these places 045, with 02,800 beds, are open , only in the season. These places of entertainment employ regularly 22.000 persons, and give casual employment to 5000 more. There is an average of one servant to four beds.. On the < whole, the hotel business gives employment. direct and indirect, to between i 32.000 and 35.000 persons. Their wages amount to about $2,200,000 a season, j exclusive of both board and lodging. , which are estimated from $1,500,000 to j $1,700,000, and their "gratuities"' are i reckoned at between $700,000 and $800,000. Freaks of HalrdrenBloc. In Abyssinia one method of doing the hair that is adopted by warriors is to stroll into the market place, buy a pound of butter and, putting it upon the top of the hair, stand still while the sun arranges things. When the hair i is thus dressed with melted butter the j Abyssinian knows that fate cannot (or \ will not) touch him?he is a picture of! well dressed elegance done in oils. An-' other style is to tress the hair and every tress means something. A young warrior with a head of hair untressed ; is of no account: he has not yet killed ! a man. When, however, he has done j so all his hair is shaved off except i enough to make one tress, which is of j the same significance as a notch on a ; pistol stock. After that every man he i kills entitles him to add another tress, until as a conquering hero of 100 tresses he is a formidable man to try: conclusions with. Seeing Electricity. The phenomena of electric discharges j in vacuum tubes give the nearest ap-j proach to seeing electricity that are j likely to be made.

The best way to dispose of garbage, says the Scientific American, is to have it reduced by machinery to various useful products, and the best machinery for doing this work is to be found in the new plant at Baltimore. The garbage is carried from the city to the new plant in scows and unloaded by an automatic conveyor. The first process is that of sterilizing the mass of refuse, which is done in twenty? eight steam cnamoers. J Lit;ii iiju Auiiu matter is selected from the liquid by a new device. About eleven per cent, comes out as grease, which is sold to soap manufacturers. The rest is mainly used for fertilizing purposes. Most of the machinery is practically automatic, and there is very little odor noticeable. The plant is not owned by the city, but by a private company. As yet no American city handles its garbage with the enterprise and business ability of Berlin. Germany, which sends its sewage and garbage In pipes out to a number of large farms, also owned and managed by the city. It has been discovered in recent years that every large city has a fortune in its garbage carts and another in its sewers, as soon as it knows enough to properly use its waste prodI'CtS. How a Champion Athlete Is Made. It is an interesting fact that our champion ail-round athlete, Ellery H. Clark, is, first of all, a worker in the ordinary business life of his community. Athletics are with him an amusement. He is not a bunched'-muscle athlete and does not believe in appjiratus, and therefore his accomplishments are possible to most men. It was not the mere mechanical operation of muscular force, so many movements to the right or to the left, that won the championship. He won because his muscu-; lar action waif dominated by a strong mind, because it was willed into concentrated effort, until at the psychological moment he was able, as he said, to exert "every atom of strength in n erand exnlosion" that wins not only on the athletic field, but in every field. As Mr. Clark himself puts it, it is not the training, not the development of muscle, not the diet that counts; it is the mode of life.?Everybody's Magazine. j Coughs | | "My wife had a deep-seated cough E R for three years.
