THE COOK’S NEAR RELATION.
Simple Explanation Enabled Norah to
Carry Her Point.
A suburban housekeeper engaged
a new cook who performed her duties
to the entire satisfaction of her em-
ployer with one exception. Mrs. Bliss
going into her kitchen in the evening
to give her ordfers^invariably found,
a member of thd suburban police
force comfortably* installed there and
very much at home. One evening lie
was not in evidence and Mrs. Bliss
took that opportunity to object to his
visits.
"It won't do, Norah,” she said de-
cidedly, "I cannot have that policeman
hanging around. It looks as if we
were under arrest.”
"I do be thinkin’ meself that a tine
uniform gives a bit of stoyle to the
place,” answered Norah coolly; "be-
sides, mum, he’s a near relation, so
he Is.”
"How is he related to you, Norah? ’
"He do be first cousin to iny sis-
ter's husband's half-brother's Uncle
Tim—”
“But, Norah, you told me he was a
near relation.”
"An' isn't lie? Sure lie's on the
durestep this blessed liilillt waitin’
till .Oi'ra at liberty to see him. an' a
fine ornyment he is, costin’ nothin' for
atin’ or drinkin'.”
Mrs. Bliss Was not so sure of either
of these statements, but slio couid
not ignore tlie bint she had received
to vacate her own kitchen, and Norah’s
near relative is still on duty in that
neighborhood.—Chicago Record-iler-

HAS RANK OF LIEUTENANT.
Dr, McGee Only American Woman
With Right to Shoulder Straps.
Dr. Anita Newcomb McGee, who or-
ganized the body of American nurses
now in Japan, is the daughter of Prof.
Simon Newcomb, the American as-
tronomer, and is the . only Amer-
ican woman who has ever had (he
right to wear shoulder straps. Dur-
ing the Spanish-American war. as I he
head of the nurse corps, she had I he
rank of lieutenant. With Mrs. Mc-
Gee when she vvout to Japan last
March were a number of experienced
war nurses, including Miss M. A. Glad-
win of Boston. Others followed and
the personnel of the corps has been
changed somewhat sinco the war be-
gan. Dr. McGee has previously been
exceptionally honored by the- Japa-
nese government. She was appointed
superintendent of nurses by the
Japanese Bed Cross society, arid she
was ranked as an officer try the gov-
ernment. __
Czar Knew His Subjects.
Illustrative of the czar’s lack of con-
fidence in the Russians who surround
him is the following incident: Czar
Nicholas I. had some trouble with; lys
.hack and his physician ordered mas
sage treatment. But Nicholas de-
clared himself unable to find a single
i man whom he dared trust for the sim-
ple operation. He sent to Frederick
William IV of Prussia, asking that a
few noncommissioned officers of the
Prussian guards might be allowed to
wail upon him. The application was
granted, and the officers acted as mas-
seurs and returned to Berlin laden
with rich presents, ‘‘t know my .Rus-
sians,” Nicholas told 4hem. "So long
as I can look them in the face every-
thing is well, but I will not risk let-
ting them work behind my back.”

Dr. Koenig of Hoechst, Germany,
has announced to a congress of scien-
tists in Berlin that he has succeeded
completely irv solving the problem of
colored photography, through a sim-
ple process, whereby every shade of
color in the photographed subject was
reprodueod to perfection in the photo-

Totems for Indian Graves.
Two marble totems, to mark the
graves of Indian chiefs at Haines,
Alaska, are almost completed at Ta-
coma. The monuments are to sup-
plant the old wooden totems, carved
lry the Indians themselves. They arc
made on the same lines as the for-
mer totems and represent the same
tribal superstitions and legends. One
is a large bear, sitting on its
haunches, biit having in place of a
bear's head a grotesque head with
staring eyes and grinning mouth. The
figure is of white marble and the eyes
and mouth, are lined with gold leaf.
The other totem is a shaft of pure
white marble surmounted tyy a marble
fish of the. whale-killer tyjSC.
Nickname for Servian King.
An extraordinary nickname has been
given to King Peter of Servin. The
name is “Peter Prvovjeneani,” mean-
ing Peter ilie first-crowned, a title
which was assumed In 1195 by Stephen
Uros, who was realty entitled to it,
being the first Servian king to b«
crowned.
The Help of Headwinds.
Human life is a voyage, but our
heavenly father does not give us the
control of the weather. If he did we
should be apt to choose nothing hut
smooth seas, fair winds, full cargoes,
and secure harbors. God is wiser (nan
we are, and he no more consults ivs
than I consult my grass plot as to
when I shall use the mower, or my
glape vines Whether 1 shall prune
away the surplus branches. ...
On a certain night we are . told
that Christ Jesus directed Ins dis-
ciples to cross the lake of Galilee. He
knew that a storm was coming, but
he did not tell them. They found it
out for themselves before they had
gone very far; and 'Peter, who was
an "old hand” on that lake, had never
known a rougher night or an angrier
sea. The wind is right in their teeth
and the waves hammer the bow of
their fishing smack like iron sledges.
With all their sturdy pulls at the oars
they make but little headway. They
are learning some lessons that night;
and so are some of my readers who
are now passing through storm; of
(rouble and are enveloped by the
darkness of a .mysterious Providence.
They , are learning the blessings of
headwinds, and what spiritual help
they bring to us.
Headwinds strengthen the sinews
and develop strong characters. Many
who have attained to the highest
work of honor and usefulness were
"seasoned” in their youth by sharp
adversity. As Joseph was prepared
by a pit and a prison for the premier-
ship of Egypt, so Abraham faneoln
was educated for his high calling by
severe study of a few hooka in a log
cabin, and by eating the trjrnjc bread
of a laborious poverty. If lie had been
born in the brown-stone mansion of
a great city auc) reared in luxury, iris
biography would have read very differ-
ently, and perhaps history might nev-
er havb heard of him. Probably the
best part of George Washington's
training for his destiny w:as his rough
experiences in the frontier wlldorne;- ,
1 seriously doubt whether the luxu-
rious style of life in some of the high-
ly endowed and fashionable prosen I -
day universities turns out as stalwart
a type of Intellectual manhood as was
produced in the plain, uncarpeted
rooms of the old-fashioned,- primitive-
looking colleges. Silver spoons and
soft raiment are not the regimen for
heroes. Smooth seas and gentle
breezes never make a sailor.
This same truth applies to the. spir-
itual experiences of God's people. The
great purpose of our heavenly father
in this school-life on earth is to de-
velop a vigorous godly character.
‘‘Count it all joy, my brethren,” said
the Apostle James, “when ye fall into
manifold trials, knowing that the try-
ing of your faith worketh patience.”
Afflictions often come upon bad people
for their sins; but God sometimes
sends afflictions upon goojl people to
make thd&i still better. That hard
ro«r|ng in th^ oight storm on Galilee
proVted the,disciples' pluck and gave
riCw fiber to’treftr kinetvs. They were
learning to “endure hardness," and
were reheaiip$|; their subsequent ex-
periences iri thri teeth of persecuting
Sanhedrins and bloodthirsty Herods.
The crowning blessing of ail ad-
verse experiences is that they teach
us our utter dependence on God. The
poor prodigal forgot his father when
ho was living riotously; but he began
to think of him when he got down to
tho husks. Danger sends us to our
knees. Tho hour of extremity is
the hour of God's opportunity. When
the disciples were at the very crisis
of the storm, lo! the welcome form
of Jesus appears on the waves,, and
the welcome voice of Jesus is heard
through the tempest: “It is I; be of
good cheer; he not afraid!” As soon
as he sets foot in the boat the tor-
nado hushes into a calm. Dear
friends, you may find that it is a bless-
ed wind that brings Christ to you.
Welcome him into your vessel.
No craft ever foundered with Christ
on board. No struggling soul, no af-
flicted Christian, no sorely-tried
church has ever gone down when
once the Son of God has come to their
relief. The fiercest headwinds, and
tho angriest waves obey his voice;
and so will he bring you at last Into
your desired haven.—Theodore L.
Cuyler, D. D.
I great buildings being erected, power*
till machines being constructed by the
machinist, a name of notoriety being
made by the popular man, a menu
tain of wealth being collected by the
financier, and the professional mart-
storing his brain with knowledge. All
these require building, require genius,
and careful thought. If the building
for these results requires careful
thought and study, should not charac-
ter-building receive our closest atten-
tion-?
It is not uncommon for a young
person to have a fixed, definite aim in
legard to what vocation he should
follow in life. Ifc has bis ideal, and
strives to accomplish its end. It we
take so much interest in gaining sue
cess in these things, should we rot
have a definite character, a definite
ideal—namely, Jesus Christ, an idea!

up and luring us on to tin- heights un-

Character is what wc are. Our nc
tions make habits. Our habits make
us what we qre. What wo are deter-
mines our destiny. Therefore, charac-
ter is destiny. .
The Sin of Unkind Speech.
Tho sin of unkind speech is one of
tlie worst we have to meet and con-
tend with. “One trouble with m<.'
said a young man, confessing ids
spiritual weakness, "is that I say nas-
ty tilings about men. i see so much
that I don't like, and I can't help
condemning Jr. And i say a grout
many things which are not kind."
We all do; and v.e ought not.
Unkind speech is net Chrisliiicr.
He never said anything unkind about
a single soul. He denounced certain
classes, but lie welcomed and ac-
knowledged the smallest, flash of wor-
thiness in individuals even of the--
classes.
Unkind speech is unjust. There U
more good than evil in our acquaint-
ances. And what we condemn is more
than balanced, if We would but see:it,
by good. And probably the otic \v>
condemn is- struggling against the
very thing we are criticizing.' Ann.
it untrue, how wrong our unkindncos
is!
Even if true, unkind speech al.-m;'
others harms ourselves, 'it diselosr s
in us the capabilities for what wc
'condemn in others. It confirms our
evil rind unkiiidliness of heart.. lf
blunts our sense of genefons' p«-rc. p-
lion of good. It throws us out of
sympathy with the kindly Jesus.
If we intend it to hurt, how cart w,
justify it? If we don't intend it to
hurt, why do we run tlie risk? la
eithc-r case ils reflex in Alienee on u
is bad. If it is a harmful net, it wHU
harm its, too. if it is a futile ael. it
will hurt us to have wasted strength
on doing it.

Farcical Judging of Fruit.
Tire writer attended the Illinois
state fair last week, and while there
made a cursory examination of the
fruit in the horticultural exhibit. The
-.etuiurns had beeu already awarded,
and some of tlie results were start-
ling. The judge that awarded the pre-
miums for Bartlett pears had placed
the blue ribbon, which indicates first,
on a plate of Keiffers. The Keiffers
too had none of the appearance ot
Baitletts but Were typical Keiffers. A
plate of Rome beauty took first prize
as York Iperial, though tho Rome
beauty was typically Rome Beauty and
the York Imperials shown were typi-
cal York Imperials.
What inducement is there for fruit
men to show l'ruit if the judges se-
lected are meu almost ignorant of
the things they are supposed to judge.
It would be far better to hire experts
at almost any price than to have stieh
results. Of the three judges chosen
only one, so far as the writer knows,
is an expert on fruit, lf all three
judged the, same fruits (he results
might not be so bafl; hut each one
was given a certain amount of the
fruit to judge and made supreme so
far as that fruit was concerned. The
expert used the better part of two
days in arriving at his decisions,
while the other men made their
awards in a few hours.
The expert related to'the writer the
manner in which he was selected. The
member of tho Illinois Stale Board of
Agriculture that had charge of tho
fruit exhibit wrote lo a lawyer :n the
city and asked him to select a judge
for the fruit. The lawyer chose the
fiult man mentioned. It is probable
that the same unscientific method was
used in the selection of the other
judges. „ it is surprising that they
got even one good man out of three.
Such inefficiency in the manage-
ment of the horticultural exhibition
cannot, be too severely condemned.
We have spent hurt,deeds of thousands
of dollars in equipping a state fair
as an educational institution and
then the management is turned over
to men entirely incapable of manag-
ing it in a way to make tlie educa-
tional feature of any value. Tlie Illi-
nois State Board of Agriculture has
the names of numerous fftiit growers
in this state any one of which knows
enough about apples and other fruit
to at least recognize the varieties
Why are they not appointed as judges?
The trouble with the Illinois State
Board of Agriculture seems to he that
a man is appointed as Superintendent
of a department and then allowed a
free hand to work his own sweet will.
No matter bow little be knows about
it, he is not interfered with, and it
would be considered discourteous to
even make suggestions to him. The
power of the man is supreme over ail
the exhibitors. His opinion is accept-
ed and must be accepted against the i -e< rti-r,S ''tdmgs. -tftej mu: of- who-
good records have been made from
Cow s that did not promise at the start
to ever lie able to pay for their feed.
One cow made 200 pounds of butter
the first year and 420 the fifth year,
and this though she was old enough
at the time site was bough't to lead
to the conclusion that she was or
should have been in her prime as a
dairy animal. This was the best rec-
ord made, but only one cow in the
herd failed to respond to our treat-
ment, and she was so evidently of the
beef type that we did not feel that
her record was against our conclusion
in tlie least."
Silsgc in the Cow Ration.
At the last round-up of Wisconsin
Institutes, U. !’. Goodrich said;
. Now, I will tell you how 1 think is
ill - cheapest^ easiest and best way to
provide summer feed for cows. It is
to have a good silo and put up Corn
'silage. If you'have good pasture this
silo needs to lie only about one-half an
large us the one which hold* the win-
ter silage. It should he smaller in
diameter, but just as deep, so that
enough can be fed from tho top each
d.aj to keep the silage from being dam-
aged by exposure to the air. In this
why you can have the best of feed to
tide over a tune of drouth and short
par-tare.' ft will he always ready and
in the most convenient form possible
to feed. Trie cows will cat the silage
with great relish every day, no matter
how good the pasture is, though they
will not eat as much as in winter,
when on otherwise dry feed.
I know personally several men who
Practice litis way and feed silage every
day in (he year, and I need not tell
you they are very successful men. 1
know a few men who feed silage the
year round who do not have any land
in pasture. 1 have iu mind one now
who has a small farm and keeps us
many lead of cat I It as lie has acres of
land, lie has nearly one third of his
land in alfalfa, and the balance, out-
side of that occupied by buildings and
yards, is used for growing otfts and
com. lie lias (he material for a good,
well balanced, succulent ration the
year round, and it is cows produce
splendidly. Practically one acre feeds
a cow. If lie needs to buy a litlle
concent i aft d feed the pork made from
(he skim milk Is uinpio for that pur-
pose.
Need I tell you that this man is
selling for his labor and his feed a
very high price indeed? They who do
as he does are getting many times as
much as some men who work harder
than they do, ju^t because they use
iut< lUgence, judgment and .shill in
"summer cow feeding," as well as In
■‘wintercow feeding," nu.d in selection,
breeding ami care of cows.

The Silage Fcd Hog.
We have not yet come to really np
predate the value of silage in the
feeding of hogs. Only a few men
have as yet begun to experiment In
that; direction. The silo lias been
jooked upon as primarily an adjunct to
(he dairy arid next to that a help to
the steer feeder. Wo do, however

. "Before they call, I will answer;

like that, dare we say that any prayer
of ours is unanswered? We may not

riowful or anxious .heart on earth
without reaching the grhfit heart of

So we have the right to take cour-

Making the Gift Good.

poet is suggestive indeed: "What the
gods give is neither good nor had; the
receiver first makes the gift.” Ho

gives us free air, water, light, food
and the products and forces and beau-

I'ar
Three Ways of Improvement.
Three ways there are of improving
the dairy herd, by either one of which
it may be brought to a paying basis.
Of the three ways two of them are
what\We might term popular and are
generally urged on the audiences by-
speakers and on readers by writers in
dairy papers,
The first method is for the dairy-
man to sell off all the cows he has
and put the money into pure-blooded
stock of one of the dairy breeds. The
second method is to keep the cows
and put a purebred dairy sire at the
head of the herd, and then'follow se-
lecting the best dairy calves for
cows, discarding the calves of
dairy conformation. It will take ten
years or more to accomplish one's
aim by this process. A third process
is to go out into the country and
select the best’ animals possible, giv-
ing them the best of treatment there-
after. Some cow owners are very
sure that the right kind of treatment
-will greatly increase the power of
the cows to give milk, even lar be-
yond that usually supposed. Prof.
Sloace, of ihe Maryland station, says
that cows well treated and properly
ted have developed wonderfully. Rela-
tive to one batch of cows purchased
in the country he says;
“They were stabled, curried, as is a
horse, every day in the year, and re-
ceived a liberal feed of grain every
day they were in milk, both winter
and summer. On this treatment the
cows commenced to improve.. Not in
the first year was it so noticeable, but
in subsequent years there was con-
stant increase in the amount of milk
and in the amount of butter made
from this milk. In the five years that
ihe herd has been at the station seme
Cherry Budded on Own Roots.
A well known horticulturist says
that he never grafts the cherry on its
own roots; for he finds In case of do-
ing that that the root sprouts and
sends up a new growth and the orig
inal scion dies: This of course pre-
vents tho using of the variety involved
and gives a worthless seedling-instead.
It is better to plant trees that have
been budded on Mazzard or Mahaleb
stock, which will never sprout. One
of the most annoying conditions of
cherry growing will then have been
done away with. Ail of the substance
taken from the soil win go into the
main tree Instead of into a sprout, and
the tree will keep on growing.
Cleaning the Milk Can.
Washing soda is extensively used
in the cleaning of milk cans. A good
solution is. on-- pound of soda and 20
poor : gallons of water. This id a strong
germicidal agent. If it is applied
boiling hot, so much the better, as
the intense heat aids the soda- in its
work of geriu destroying. Cans that
have boon cleaned with this should
lie finally rinsed out with watrir that
has been boiled. The rinsing out with
cold unboiled water is frequently a
source oV germ Supply and tends to
neutralize the work of germ destruc-
tion in the first cleansing of the cans,
The storage of sweet potatoes so
that they will keep is a difficult mat-
ter. In the northern part of the
South pits are dug in the ground and
the potatoes placed in these, provided
the drainage Is good. A covering of
leaves and planks may he put on and
on the approach of cold weather a
covering of earth is added. The best
way is to store in dry warm cellars.
