KPURDY'S COW

1" frienil and neighbor.
)| Purdy, of whom. 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.

extreme value of direct cardiac massage

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,

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.

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

"Fever Mosquitoes."
The mosquito which injects yellow
fever with his probosis bites by day
as well as by night and is called the
day or striped mosquito. It is found
chiefly in cities, where'it breeds in any
chance receptacle of water. The eggs
are laid in standing water, and, although
the receptacle may dry up, the
eercs do not desiccate, but will hatch
as soon as it again contains water.
The larvae resemble those of other
mosquitoes and are readily killed by
a kerosene film on the surface of the
water.
Switzerland's Tourist Gains.
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

of a fourth 6tate of matter, and these
corpuscles?smaller than atoms and the
same in all kinds of gases?were named
electrons by Stoney, and have come to j

atoms, or even as making up matter itself.

What Baltimore Does With Its Garbage.
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.
