j^Daisy Chain, t
Mr. Travers, pretending to rinse
plates in the river Thames, looked perpetually
toward Miss Daisy Middleton
?industriously engaged in paeking
dishes. Over the meadow the rest of
the picnic party was dotted mainly in
pairs, as is pleasant to look upon at a
picnic. If the truth Vere known, Mr. {
Travers was pleased to see Miss Middleton
sternly packing, for of late she
had seemed to bestow too much of the
hcney of her smiles upon a certain
bee (to give him no worse title) of the
name of Congreve; and Miss Middleton
was rejoiced to see Mr. Travers
pretending to rinse, since she had a certain
undefined objection to hear his
praises sang by others of her sex?as j
? recently.

"But canoes are so unsafe. Perhaps
i! Miss Maltby would come with us,
it would he steadier."
This was a distinctly unkind reflection
on Miss Maltby, whose attractions,
in the opinion of many, were
not detracted from by her weight, Mr.
Travers, however, saw light in the
nnkindness, and willingly sacrificed a
victim.
Without in any way wishing to
deny the merits of Miss Maltby," he
said, "she would add more tban a
feather-weight. Besides, in adopting
an invention like canoes, from the
Choctaws, one must conform to their
custom."
- Which is?" asked Miss Middleton.
Based on the tribal motto?Two's
company.' The canoes were constructed
accordingly, and only hold
Then there would not be room for
Mr. Congreve?" she asked.
"I fancied he was making daisychains,"
said Mr. Travers.
Now, if Miss Middleton had been
adverse to the voyage, this foolish remark
would have left Mr. Travers solitary.
But she was not. She suffered
herself to be constrained?not too
If readily. Yet since, when once the
canoe was launched. Mr. Travel's
seemed to sink into abstraction, Miss
Middle ton took up the ball. Since
this is the very simplest story, devoid
oi incidents or criticism, is sufficient
to say of Miss Middleton's conduct,
''such is life," and to report her re.
marks.
"You'll be very careful, won't you?"
she said. "I'm like a cat?very
frightened of water."
"What cat's averse to fish?" quoted
Mr. Travers, irrelevantly. "That is<?>1
mean?I wouldn't let a drop of
water touch you for?what I really
mean is, the canoe's perfectly safe. It
would hold five with ease."
,4I thought that the Choctaws?"
hinted Miss Middleton well pleased
with herself. , .
"Oh, yes, that's all nonsense," he
said, distractedly. *T should say I
em taking nonsense now. What I
?
meant was that if five people were ia
it, it couldn't be safer."
"It does sound rather nonsense/1
said Miss Middleton, unmercifully.
It is not cleay why maidens at these
critical times are so much more apt to
keep their heads than are men. Mr.
Travers thought it a hard dispensation
of nature, aud sought refuge
from his distraction by joggiug the
canoe.
"Aren't we shaking terribly?" asked
Miss Middleton.
"Xot at all," he answered.
"Canoes seem very frail," she explained.
"A girl I knew," said Mr. Travers,
thoughtfully, "used to tell me that
she was quite nervous until she had
tried a canoe, but in the end she
thought otherwise. She even wanted
to get engaged in a canoe."
"Did you gratify lier wish," asked
Miss Middleton, with a rush of dignity.
"The girl was my mother, you
know," said Mr. Travers, scenting a
mistake. "It was a reminiscence of
hers. She was wondering how I should
some day "
"Yes, yes?don't yon think we
ought to be going back?" asked Miss
Middle on.
"I should like to know your opinion
of a boat as a popping place," he persisted.
Miss Middleton supposed that a (
square, solid sort of boat iu the style
of Noah's ark?guaranteed not to upset?might
not be unsuitable.
"But would yon not approve of a
conoe?" he asked.
"It would rock so terribly," she
said.
"Why should it rock?"
"Suppose," she said, "the man
wanted to go down on his knees?just ,
to emphasize his wishes?that would
I set it rolling to begin with." <
Mr. Travels was willing to entertain
that supposition.
'Then suppose the girl said 'No?' "
Mr. Travers preferred not to suppose
anything unpleasant
'Still, if she did," said Miss Middleton,
"the man would start up in &'
very bad temper and begin stamping
about" . 1
Mr. Travers was positive that no
man world be guilty of such conduct
Miss Middleton failed to see how Mr.
Travers conld'answer for men in geneaL
Mr. Travers admitted that he,
was thinking of a particular case,
which caused Miss Middleton to go on 1
hastily:
"Then, again, if the girl didn't say
4No,' she would probably expect "
"What?" asked Mr. Travers.
Miss Middleton bad unfortunately

"Hut I must know, Daisy," be

and the cauoe began to roll. "Would

Continuous was the rolling of the
canoe.
44We shall be over I'm sure," said
Miss Middleton? "please? yes?yes?
yes "
"At any rate the man expects?"
said, Mr. Travers, and the rolling continued.
When some time later the canoe
returned to the meadow from which it
had started, the voyagers were grieved
to perceive the tea was already almost '
finished. The others observed that '
punctuality was particularly important 1
at a picnic! Mr. Congreve especially
insisted on this.
"Ton shouldn't have been making
daisy-chains, Congreve," said Mr.
Travers, irrelevantly. 1
"What does he mean?" Mr. Con- 1
greve appealed to Miss Middleton for 1
a solution.
"Mr. Travers has also been making 1
daisy-chains," she said.?The King.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

A mine is a good deal like a woman's i
love; nobody can tell what it is worth.
We are not sent into the world to
do anything into which we cannot pnt
our hearts. ^

that we fancy things are impossible.

than gold; for the latter is the gift of | (
fortune, bnt the former is the dower (
of Nature.

forget that peace at home and abroad \
is the ideal for all who love their conn- <
try and their fellow-men. i

labor is over when she has won a <
man's love, and doesn't appreciate the
struggle that is coming to keep it

Twenty people can gain money for ]
one who can use it, and the vital ques- ]
tiou for individual and for nation is '
never, "How much do they make?" 1
but, "To what purpose do they spend?" <
The development of great wealth in '
this country is a matter of not more '
than 25 years, and it is scarce a wonder
that it has not been fully assimilated
to our social and economic and !
moral systems.
It is the things whioh make up the j
character, the habits, the customs,
the tastes and beliefs of the great
majority of the people that control the
vastest interests of civilization and {
human happiness. j
Whenever motley is the principal |

Microbes of the Sea.
From the study of phosphorescent
microbes, which has greatly interested
students of sea phenomena, zoologists
have now passed to the study of sea |
microbes in general, and are announc- <

The inference is that aquatic life
produces a more interesting variety of
microbe than do the circumstances
,with "which we are more familiar.

comfortably at a temperature of zero,

The Damage to Foliage.
During the droughts and. hot days |
of the past parching summer much
damage to foliage was caused upon
certain crops aud trees, notably sugar
beets, cauliflowers, cherries and
maples. The leaves of the sugar
beets went down as though struck by
blight or similar disease, the young
cauliflower plauts lost many of their
unfolding tender blades through
parching aud death of their margins,
and cherries and maples in certain localities
stood denuded loug before
time for foliage to fall These injuries
occurred soon after days in late summer
when the drought had been long
continued and wheu hot parching
winds made a sudden demand on the
on the plants for more moisture.
That the injury was due to this couse,
excessive transpiration, and not either
to lack of water due to drought, or to
disease, has been demonstrated by
the New York agricultural experiment
station.
Givinc Medicine to Hortev
To give the horse a drench or bolns
requires both skill and patience with
exceeding gentleness. All solid medicines
should be at first reduced to
powder and then rolled iu some viscid
material to form a paste in an oblohg
cylinder mass about two and one-half
inches long. "Place the right haiid
flat over the bones of the animal's
nose, grasping each side, thus to
steady the head, while with the left
hand the operator seizes the tongue,
drawing it outward to the off aide, the
fingers resting on the lower jaw for
support. This will secure the tongue
from being drawn out too fan. The
bolus should be grasped between the
first, second and third finger tips of
the right hand and carried over the
tongue to the back of the mouth."
Withdraw the right hand quickly and
also release the tongue, instantly
closing the horse's mouth and holding
his jaws together. In giving a draught
or drench, which is the liquid form of
administering medicine, use a horn,
or a perfectly clean tin bottle. Stand
on the off side of the horse and "insert
the fingers of the left hand within
the angle of the mouth," drawing
away the animal's cheek iu order to
form a suitable pouch into which the
fluid is poured "in small and successive
doses as the creature permits it
to pass down the gullet The neck of
the bottle, therefore, does not enter
the mouth and injuries from that
source are entirely avoided. The
tongue must be left quite free, as it is
a most effective agent in carrying
fluids onward to the gullet, and its
action greatly facilitates the operation
of drenching. "--Oui Animal Friends.

Converting the bones about the
farm into soinble fertilizer ia another
of the small economies that it would
be well for every farmer to . heed.
Very often a good many bones of animals
that have died upon the farm
might be collected, if farmers would
give attention to such things; and
[juite a lot might be saved in th$ kitchen
in the course of a few months.
Instead of being thrown away to be
carried off by worthless dogs or left
to rot in the forest, all these bones
Duglit to be collected and converted
into a good phosphate by the farmer.
A. bushel or two of bones, packed
Sown in strong wojod ashes, and kept
wet, but not wet enough to drip, will
make a nice lot of fertilizer in a few
weeks' time.
A kerosene barrel is a good thing to
pack them in: First, a layer of ashes
made wet, then a layer of bones, and
next another course of ashes, and so
cn. until the cask is almost fnlL
Leave space enough at top to hold a
bucketful of water, and keep the mass
wet. If you fear your ashes are not
eery strong, add some of the powdered
concentrated lye from time to time.
Large bones should be broken small,
but all small or soft bones will soon
jrield to this treatment. In a few
weeks turn the mass out on a floor,
md witn a lioe or mam crusn tne
bones to powder, and yon have as
good a phosphate as the most that yon
buy and at far less cost. . ;V Superphosphate
is made from bonestreated
with sulphuric acid, which reluces
them in a few hours. But the
acid is a risky article to handle, and
the farmer with only a small parcel of
bones had better go slow and safe
with ashes. It will pay to utilize
bones in this way. Don't let. bones
lie abont in the woods where dead
animals were left, but gather them
up and reduce them to fertilizer. Save
nil the bones from the kitchen, and
treat them likewise.
Point* on Bnttermaking.
In the first place good cows are a
necessity. A scrub which gives indifferent
milk half the year is one of
the great leaks on many farms. Next,
cows must be well-sheltered, well-fed
and kindly treated, this last being far
more essential than most people
think. Cows which are stabled should
be well brushed and the udder wiped
with a damp cloth to prevent the fine
dust of the barn falling into the pail.
This is one cause of bitter milk in
winter. A wire strainer with a fine
thin cloth over it keeps everything
else out of the milk. Tin pans are
easier kept sweet, lighter to handle
and I think the cream rises better in
them than crocks.
The milk should not be covered until
the animal warmth is out of it. The
sooner it cools the more cream rises.
In summer the pans can be set in
cold water and the water drawn off
when warm and renewed. A shallow
zinc box, like the top of a sink, only
large enough to accommodate all the
milk of one milking, is handy. The
box should be as deep as the pans,
with a spout to let the water ofll One
bucket of water would be sufficient to
cool the milk. The pane can be left
here until next milking or when cool
set fiat on the cellar floor. A frame

M&MOs . ... :
of lath large enough to cover all the
milk can be made with legs two or
three inches higher than the pans.
Over this stretch muslin and tack
tightly. It cau be set to one side or
raised up on end and down again, covering
or uncoveriug all or as much
as you want at once. The muslin
can be takon off and washed, and
it does away with so many lids to scour
and sun and the milk is better than
when shut up tight.
Tin buckets are the best for the
cream. In winter I hang my bucket
up near the ceiling and ripen my
cream as well as in summer. In summer
I skim sweet and hang in the
well, so without ice cau make good
butter the year round. Milk must be
regularly skimmed and the cream regularly
churned wiuter and summer.
Thirty-six hours is long enough for
milk to set, and 21 is too long if the

churned at least every other day in
summer and twice a week in winter.
Sixty degrees iu summer and 65 to 70
in winter is about the proper temperatures
to begin churning, for the warm
air will raise it a little in summer and
cool it in winter.
Stop churning when the butter
comes and draw off the milk. I like
to wash the butter thoroughly by
whirling the churn, changing water
until it runs clear. Work just enough
to mix the salt. The grain then remains
aud the butter is rich, sweet
j aud toothsome. Too much working
makes it solid and tallowy and deI

; never work over bntter that comes
solid in granules. I find customers
prefer it this way and every bit of
milk and water can be got out if
churned at the right temperature.
There n'-e people in every town who
are willing to pay a good price for
gilt-edge bntter, and cows can be
made to be a source of revenue, not
to be despised by the farmer's family,
even when only a few are kept.?S.N.

In gardening clean culture is the
chief essential to success.
It is the sheep that are kept on low,

The moral is plain.
*'Xo foot, no horse," so take a look
at the feet of your animal often and
see if everything is "O. K."
Probably the most exacting of all
pursuits is farming, as it requires constant
and careful watchfulness.
Make it a habit to wash the cow's

are bad, but this is one of. the good

Be sure your poultry get some animal
food. The advice has been given
often, and those who have taken it are
the ones who are getting the eggs.

more profit in the hands of a wellbred
sheperd than a-flock of well-bred

1 A BREEZY TALK ON PHYSIOLOGY.
The Wonders of Human Anatomy Told
in Picturesque Language.
Ask men at random and yon will be
amazed at their ignorance of bnman
anatomy. This was amnsingly illustrated
a few nights ago at a birthday
party given in a residence in Fortyninth
street, near Fifth avenue, writes
I Victor Smith, in the New York Press.
Several hundred people were present,
and among the amusements was a
series of questions that a physician
propounded. Old and yonng got ludicrously
tangled up on the rib inquisition,
and it is a solemn fact that a
majority of the guests thought man
had more ribs on one side than on
the other, the missing constituent of
the thoracic wall being attributed to
Mother Eve. Only a dozen or so
replied that man had the same number
as woman. What that number is
less than ten correctly stated.
4'Who was the first artisan?" was
one of the questions, and when everybody
had given it up the answer was,
"God, because He took one of Adam's
ribs and fashioned it into a woman."
As a matter of fact each sex has, normally,
24 ribs, 12 on a side. Many
men and women have managed to exist
healthily with 11 on a side, while
others have been obliged to struggle
along with 13. An extra floating rib
or two is a small matter. Ten are
known to be false.
Whenever the average man has a
pain in the small of his back he says
he is afflicted with kidney trouble,
! whereat doctors smile. He has a little
lumbago. When he has a stitch in
his side he is cock sure his liver is in
a bad way, forgetting that indispensable
digestive organ is up in the thoracic
cavity, far removed from bis waist.
band. The world is alive with men
who possess but one lung and have a
floating kidney, a severed vermiform
appendix, a shifted pancreas, a spliced
transverse colon, a punctured pericardium
or an artificial mucous membrane.
Few of us remain whole and
sound, though we may begin life in
physical perfection.
The alimentary canal in man is
about 30 feet long, and there is nothi
ing in nature more wonderful. It
looks on paper like a map of the St.
John's river, with its numerous lakes,
twists, turns, springs, etc. The mouth
is the source, or spring of life, as here
take place the reception and mechanical
division of the food v^hich sustains
us. The masticated or-, bolted
staff of life is conveyed to the gr?at
lake, or stomach, through a channel
koown as the esophagus, and here it is
is permi;ted to rest until thoroughly
reduced and chemically prepared for
its journey on down the river. The
great la&e lias monstrous powers
of contraction and expansion. The
liver is a deep marsh, where giant
forest spectres haunt the night. The
pancreatic fluid is a slough of despond,
but necessary to our well being.
Then the river becomes a very nari
row channel where the daodennm, je
junum and ileum capture whatever of
nutriment may be in the food. Imagine
a canal that stands the severest
usage for 70, SO, 90, a 100 years,
and never demands an appropriation.
Agnlnaldo Once a Prisoner.
There is a story in circulation
among some of the army officers who
have just returned to Washington
from Manila that the army actually
captured Aguinaldo in Cavite Province,
put him in jail for 15 days as a
suspicious Amigo and then released
him only to hear of his identity after
he had gotten away. The ability of
the Philippine leader to make up as a
Chinaman, or "Chino," as they are
called in the Philippines, is said to
be remarkable, and only a fellow native
is able to penetrate such a disguise.

SEA BIRDS A NECESSITY.
They Are an Incalculable Sanitary Benefit
Alony Oar Coast
This country is on the verge of los?
ing forever one of the main features
of its seacoast charms?the sea-birds
themselves. In fact, the Terns, the
most exquisite of the Gull family, and
which formerly thronged our whole
coast, have been so nearly wiped out
by agents of the milliners that this
year's onslaught, already fully organized,
will glean almost the last pair
from the few small breeding colonies
which remain, wherever these are un
protected. And the larger gulls, which
are not only very beautiful, but absolutely
essential as harbor scavengers,
are also being decimated for the same
purpose.
All these species, with their exquisite
Beauty, their wild voices and their
most romantic lives, peopling a realm
which, without them, would be oppressive
in its dreary grandeur, will reach
their breeding places in a few weeks,
and the Terns, especially, are- liable
to be slaughtered the moment they
get there; therefore the promptest action
is necessary, if we are to save
even the few pairs of the latter which
could re-stock our devastated coast
when the evil eye of fashion shall have
turned to other victims.
Simple economic considerations
make it a matter of course that the
gulls must be saved. An immense
horde of them, which naturalists think
number anywhere from a hundred
thousand to a million, gorge twice a
day in New York Bay upon garbage.
As the hour of the "dump" approaches,
their multitudes fill the wl^ole air to
an Immense height, over an area of
several miles, then gradually settle on
the sea in vast white sheets. The
whistle of the police boat, the signal
to "dump," seems to waft them simultaneously
into the air, to gather, like
dense snow clouds, over the floating
masses just emptied from the many
scows.
Imagine from what an amount of
putrid matter these .birds, as big as
hens, save the adjacent beaches, not
to speak of their perpetual gleaning in
the actual harbors! And this is a
specimen of what occurs at every port.
If money enough can be raised, the
Committee of the American Ornithologists'
Union will guard every breeding
place where there is a law to back
them, as Mr. Mackay and Mr. 'Dutcher
have done at Vineyard Sound Islands
and Great Gull Island.

A New York millinery house has had
an inquiry for "blushing bonnets.'7 inasmuch
as it -was the first inquiry of
the kind, and as they did not know
what under the blue canopy a "blushing
bonnet" was, they instituted a
careful search to find out the result
is interesting, even from a sordid commercial
standpoint. The "blushing
bonnet" is known in London, and It
may have had its origin there, though
a London authority thinks the credit
ought to go to Paris. It is any kind of
a bonnet with a little spring and metal
clasp hidden behind flowers, and "tfhen
the head of the fair wearer of the bonnet
is bent forward with that downcast
movement so becoming to modest
maids and matrons, the clasp presses
on the temples and compels a blush.

Eccentric Colonel Eje.
Colonel Ege was a famous character
in the early days. Although liying in
' Doniphan County he was often in Atchison,
followed by a pack of hounds.
He was a high toned Southern gentleman
with a kind heart, and one day
returning home from this city he. came
across a man whose wagon was stuck

bottom. Colonel Ege at once started in
to help the man pry out his wagon
with fence rails. While both were
working away, Ege became angry, and
yelled to the man: "Lift, you son of a
gun; you are qot lifting a pound." The
man picked up the endgate of the wag"oon,
and split it over Ege's head, laying
him up for three weeks. Ege had
his hat off when struck, and was so '
bald before coming to Kansas that he '
was known as the Bald Eagle of Maryland.
Ege always carried a pistol, and
was always trying to shoot through
somebody's hat without hitting him. 1

General Hickenlooper and his family
nake the evening dinner a source of
nental as well as of physical nutrition,
n which exercise the general has
lsually the best of it by presenting
muzzling and difficult problems. The
)ther evening the youngsters turned
he tables upon him by presenting the
following legal proposition:
A French beggar died and left one
?hild, a son, and a considerable estate,
rhe son, in order to inherit the estate,
ivas required to prove a kinship to the
leceased. What kinship did he prove?
The general promptly replied the kinnnH

The children said the answer was
wrong?the parent was a woman. This
:ickled the general, and he decided to
pass it along, so the next day, while
taking luncheon with a friend, be propounded
the following:
A French beggar woman died and
left a son and an estate and the son
in order to inherit the property, was required
to prove kinship to the deceased.
What was the kinship between
them?
The friend promptly replied: "Mother!
and son." !
"Well," said the general, "you guess
better than I did, for I answered father
instead of mother."?Cincinnati Enquirer.
A Boy's Rerenje.
The present German Emperor, then
a small boy, attended the wedding of
the Prince and Princess of Wales. He
was under the charge of his two uncles,
the Duke of Edinburgh and the Duke
of Connaught. As may be expected,
young William fidgeted sadly, and con*
sequently received an occasional warning
tap on the shoulder. But how he
3Id revenge himself! His uncles were
in Highland dress, and the future emperor
slyly knelt down and bit into
their bare legs with great earnestness.

"When I get to be a man," said the
boy who has a good memory for
phrases, "I'm going to strive to cultivate
an unselfish nature."
"Thafs right," replied the father.
"How are you going to go about it?"
"Well, In the first place, if I have
any little boys I'll let them shoot their
own fireworks instead of telling them
they mu|t let me do it for fear they
will hurt themselves."
