One of my brothers, when a young man, owned a handsome Newfound land answering to the name of "Skuk kum," the s aie being Chintook Indian for "good," and amply deserved. When my brother- married, Skukkum was graciously pleased to approve of his choice, and extended a courteous but distinctly condescending friendship to the new member of his family. evident ly thinking that, perhaps. after all, three might be company in spite of the proverb. But he drew the line at four; and, when the first baby came, his courtesy gave way. He not only absolutely refused to come and look at the little tot, and he introduced to the new member of the family, but, if it was brought into the room would instantly either leave it or march off to the farthest corner.and lie down, with an air of offended dig Atf-vet the. moment the baby was placed in his ' q and sta out throub ititutional down t ie street, S -u - - would promptly range up alorigs~de of the carriage and escort it. through the entire trip, keeping a most vigilant eye upon any stranger, canine or hu c~anured.to approach his charge w -r the nurse-maid. The mi'aute, however, that-the gate was safglf reached again, he considered his (uty done, and re lapsed at once into his former attitudIe of jealbus contempt. He evidently felt thi,'no matter how much he might disapprove of the baby personally. and # ev-en feel free to express this feeling within the privacy of the family oercle, yet the youngster was, nevertheless. de jure, a mnemb~er of the famii;, and entitledI not merely to defence, but to resp~ectful attention before the eye of the outside world.

Treat all the dairy implements the sane as you do the milking pails. and pay particular attention to the strainers.- Never use one that has not been cleaned..

If you make it a practice, as some do, to strain the milk several tines on its way from the cow to the set ting. then treat everyone of t1ii itrain ers in the same way.
