; Mr. S.—You know, Trlxy, dear, I only
speak for your own good—certainly I
am doing very well at present, but mar
kets fluctuate and a fellow never knows
his luck—you might try and look after
i things a little better. Here's a note
from the butcher requesting a check for
last month’s account, and I’m positive
I gave you a ten-pound note to settle
it with, didn’t IT
Mrs. s.—Yes; but, George, dear, don t
you remember that was the morning
I was going shopping with Adelc, and
she bought such heaps of lovely things
that I had to buy that pretty cloak you
admired so last night, and so—and so
—the ten pounds went, and I forgot
all about the butcher, but you can
easily send him a check now.
Mr. S.—I know that, but it is the
principle of the thing, Trlxy. You
, know very well I hate having bills run
up, and when I give you money for an
especial purpose, it should be used for
that, and not flung away on unneces
sary rubbish.
Mrs. S. (indignantly)—Fancy, George,
calling my lovely coat unnecessary rub
bish! And you said yourself how well
(It suited me! Bother the butcher!
Why don't you have a housekeeper?
You know I told you before you mar
ried me that I didn’t know anything
about housekeeping, but you said then,
it didn't matter; you loved me,- and
now—(beginning to cry into a dainty
lace-edged handkerchief)!
Mr. S. (hastily)—There, there, my
darling, don’t cry! I am a brute, and
ought to remember what a baby you are.
Como here (sits her on his knee and
wipes away tears)! Now smile! And
tell me what I shall bring you home,
or what we shall do to-night to earn
your forgiveness.
Mrs. S. (gleefully, putting her arm
round his neck, and patting his head,
which Is slightly bald)—You are a dear
old George! Now, let me see. What
shall we do? O, I know! You get
some seats for the Vaudeville. They
say the seats there
|say the piece there is awfully funny,
►end just a leetle naughty, and then
Iwe'll have supper afterward at Mor
•ani's.
Mr. 8.—My dear Trlxy, I couldn’t
take you to Morani's.
i Mrs. 8.—But why not? You told me
[you went there the other night with
•Mr. Smith and Mr. Jones,
i Mr. S.—Yes. but they asked me, and,
•besides, that’s a different thing. It’s
not a fit place to take a child like
’you to.
I Mrs. 8. (pouting)—Sometimes I won
der if I ever shall be a woman! But,
George, dear, I’m married, so why can’t
I go? I do want to Bee what it is like.
. Mr. S. (decisively)—Impossible, my
.dear. I’ll get the seats, and you must
(be content with the Savoy for supper.
‘Now, I really must be off.
i Mrs. 8. (resignedly)—Very well,
'George, dear, and I’ll put my new gown

Mr. S.—Tee, my pet, deliciously
pretty. Good-by, little woman.
Mrs. S. (anxiously)—Prettier than
Mlmi Goodman?
Mr. S.—Mlml is a toad, darling, com
pared with you? I must go. Good-hy
—(rushes off).
Mrs. S.—Funny old dear, George Is!
I will go to Moranl’s to supper some
time or other though. I'm sure there's
no harm, and Adele says it's ripping
fun—(looking out of window)—why
here comes Adele. How early for her
to be out! (Eentor Adele—Mrs. Smith
son—a tall. Jolly-looking, and fashion
ably-dressed woman. Mutual kissing).
Mrs. S.—Whatever brings you out so
early, Adele? I thought you never got
up till 11, and it's only half past 10
now.
Adele—Two reasons, you little scoff
er! First, I forgot yesteruay to tell you
I wanted you to come In this afternoon.
I've some people coming to tea, and
Miss Sweder, that girl who plays so
well. Is coming.
Mi s. S.—Of course I’ll come, dear,
i v,; viV.i’t i k me to understand Miss
Sweder's playing, I simply can't, it's
Adele—Nonsense! She plays lots of
'tuny things: Hungarian dances, and
so on. Now, for my other reason. Jack
and Capt. Jones and I are going to see
"The Snop Girl" to-morrow night, and
to supper at Moroni’s after, and we
want you to make a fourth. Will you?
Mrs. S.—I should love It, but George
won’t let me, I'm sure. I asked him
this morning to take me to Morani's
to supper, and he said In his sternest
way; "Impossible!*'
y Adele—My dear child, what utter
nonsense! Never mind, don’t say any
thing to him about , the supper part
I till afterwards, and then you can tell
him we took you and—O, you know
what to say.
Mrs. 8.—But would It be right,
Adele?
Adele—Gracious, what a baby It Is!
Of course. If you are with us there
can’t be any harm. Now, ta-ta, Trixy,
dear. Shall expect you this afternoon
about 5, and we’ll make the final
arrangements for to-morrow night.
(Exit Mrs. Smithson.)
5:30 p. m. same day. Mrs. Smithson's
drawing-room, pleasantly and intel
ligently furnished, and occupied by
the usual sort of suburban matrons
and daughters; the vicar’s wife, a
stray-looking man or two, and Miss
Sweder, a severe-faced pianist (of
uncertain age); Mrs. Simpkins in
the most bewitching of costumes,
sitting beside the vicar’s wife.
Mrs. S. (In a stage whisper to V. W.,
while Miss Sweder is playing)—So
charming, Isn’t it? But we oughtn’t
to talk, ought we? Music always makes
me more chatty than usual, doesn’t
it you? Nol ah, perhaps you get it
“taken out of you," as George says,
at mothers’ meetings, and so on. (Play
ing suddenly ceases.)
Mrs. S. (to Miss Sweder)—How
charming! Thought I recognized It.
One of those delicious Hungarian
things, isn’t it?
Miss Sweder (sternly)—No; it is
Grieg’s “Bridal March.”
jwrs. a.—ur course! How stupid of
me! Dear Miss Sweder, how beauti
fully you play! I wish I could play
like that, but I suppose It takes years
and years of practice to attain such
perfection, (Miss Sweder frowns
darkly, and Adele whispers hurriedly
to Mrs. Simpkins.)
Mrs. S.—O! I’m so sorry, I didn’t ex
actly mean that, but I’m always saying
the wrong thing. I’m such a silly lit
tle thing! (She is promptly hustled
away by Mrs. Smithson to another
part of the room.)
The night after, 11:15 p. m.—Inside
Moranl’s, a brilliantly got-up restau
rant with a reputation for good cook
ing and fast society, and something
more than a reputation for high
charges. Nearly all the tables oc
cupied or chairs turned up to show
they are engaged. Enter Mr. and
Mrs. Smithson, Capt. Jones, and
Mrs. Simpkins, the latter half
shrinking, half delighted, like a
child with a stolen piece of bread
and Jam. They find their table and
sit down.
Mrs. S. (looking round)—I don’t see
anything so funny, Adele. Just look
at that woman over there though, look
at the lovely gown and diamonds she
has on and, O, Adele! she’s picking
her bones with her teeth and throwing
them on the floor!
Supper proceeds, and the fun (?) grows
fast, and merry shouts of laughter
mingle with popping of champagne
corks, and the occupants of the room
begin to be scarcely discernible
through the clouds of cigar and
cigaret smoke. Capt. Jones is sol
emnly assuring Mrs. Simpkins that
it Is the proper thing nowadays for
a lady to smoke at least one tiny
cigaret, when he sees her pretty
flushed face stiffen into a horror
struck look and hears her ejaculate
“George!"
Adele (hurriedly)—Where, Trixy?
Don’t be silly, child, as if you were
committing a crime! I’ll take all the
blame on myself. O, Mr. Simpkins,
how Jolly! You are Just in time to
take Trixy home. Now don’t scold (as
sh,e sees the black look on Mr. Simp
kins face), we made her come with us
here, and you are not to be cross with
her. O, don’t take her off so soon!
Mr. S—Thank you, Mrs. Smithson, I
think Trixy is a little tired. Are you
ready, dear?
Mrs. S.—Yes, George. Good-night,
Adele, I’ve had a levely evening. Good
night, good-night.
(Exeunt.)
Ten minutes after—in hansom on the
way home.
Mrs. S. (fearfully)—George, dear, I
dldn t like it a bit, the supper part, (
mean. I thought it horrid, and—and
—it wasn’t altogether true what Adele
said. I knew beforehand they were
going there to supper, but didn’t tell
you, but I’m sorry; you will forgive me.
won’t you? •
Mr. Simpkins (kissing her, and draw
ing her head on to his shoulder)—
All right, little one. I told you it;
wasn’t a nice place for my baby. We
won’t talk any more about it. By the
way, I’ve done that deal with Marks,’
and you will find the diamond neck-,
lace in your jewel case when you get
home.
Mrs. S. (emphatically)—George, you
are an angel and I am a little beast!

to be a better wife to you and not a
baby any more!—St. Paul’s.

Row Successful Farmers Operate This
Department of the Farm—A Few
Hints as to the Care of Live Stock
and Poultry.
N answer to your
question in regard
to my poultry, I
would say: First, I
thought there were
mites on the chicks
and applied kero
sene and lard, and
this helped matters
somewhat, but did
not stop the trouble
altogether, I ap
plied the mixture to ears and neck. As
to feeding, I fed boiled potatoes and
corn meal, mixed together, or else I
fed corn meal and boiled cabbage. I
fed the cooked food morning and night
and fed wheat at noon. The chicks are
not big enough to eat corn, they are
only about two months old, and were
doing finely until they began to have
an attack of the malady I mentioned in
my last letter, published in the Farm
ers’ Review under the date of Nov. 18.
I did not notice the combs turning
yellow; they kept their natural color,
and the old fowls and little chickens
both are subjected to the malady, but
it has for some time been a problem
as to what it was. I have seen old
hens that were all right at night and in
the morning they would be found dead.
In view of the fact that everyone has
the same experience it cannot be the
lice in all cases. M. A. H.
| au n Ui
Of course, we cannot, without seeing
the fowls and watching them some,
and perhaps performing an autopsy on
some of them, tell for a certainty Just
what the matter Is, because the mere
fact of a bird falling over dead does
!not indicate the cause. There are
'many Hinds of diseases to which fowls
are subject, each having their pecu
liar symptoms. As a doctor could not,
without taking the temperature of his
,'patient, locate some kinds of disease,
so a person trying to locate the disease
of fowls needs to be In a position to
take heed of the most trifling circum
jstances. From what our correspondent
has said we are strongly of the opinion
that indigestion has been one of tho
leading causes, perhaps the main
cause. He had done well to feed cook
ed food as a part of his ration, but
the food combination Is very bad.
However, this should not kill the birds,
unless it made them more than un
usually fat. We realize that It Is
thought a common and proper policy
to feed corn and corn meal at every
opportunity, but we believe it is a
mistake. The cooked food had better
contain a large part of bran and oats
ground. Corn meal and corn contain,
In large quantities, fattening nutrients,
and wheat is of a somewhat similar
character, standing between oats and
corn. The ration fed has been very
poorly balanced. Indigestion usually
goes through two stages, the first be
ing seldom noticed, though It kills a
good many fowls. The first stage is
constipation, and is caused by a too
heating and drying food, like corn and
corn meal. If watched, the fowls that
are afflicted this way will be seen to
mope and often droop the tail feathers.
They are evidently In a state of Intense
suffering. Many die In this stage and
are found dead in the morning with
nothing apparently the matter. If
they come through this stage all right,
the indigestion Is Indicated by too great
looseness, and the feathers mussed by
the thin droppings. It Is possible that
some poultry disease is in the neigh
borhood, perhaps cholera, but that
should be indicated by the loose green
droppingB.
We have found putting kerosene on
little chicks a very bad plan, having
killed a good many that way, even
when the kerosene was mixed with
grease. We have long since discarded
the kerosene and find the grease does
th same work. Even grease will blis
ter bodies and kill the chicks when
applied too freely.
Co-operative Dairying In Aunt rails.
R. T. Thorburn of New South Wales,
in an interview with a reporter in Chi
cago said:
“New South Wales Is divided into
three parts: the coast, the center, and
the west. Wheat is raised in the cen
tral and western parts, and sheep In
the west. On the coast we raise corn
and butter; the soil is so rich and the
climate so moist that wheat rusts bad
ly with us. Our butter making Is done
almost entirely on a co-operative plan.
The farmers In. each section buy a
separator together; then they send the
cream to large creameries which are
In various parts of the country, where
there are appliances for making ice
and for storing the butter. Thence
the butter Is all shipped to Sydney, the
capital, and there it is put on sale at
a fixed price—16 cents is the lowest it
ever gets at wholesale, in summer.
Whatever Is not sold at the price put
upon it is put back into the ice chests
and at the end of a week or so shipped
to London, even if this is done at a
loss. In this way butter is kept up to
a fair price. Before the formation of
the Farmers’ Co-operative society we
were at the mercy of the middlemen.
Butter, in summer, went down to 8
cents a pound; they bought it all up,
stored it, and then in cold weather
brought it out and undersold us to our
own customers. The business of this
co-operative society is quite large,
from a million and a half to two mil
lion dollars a year; and by its help the
farmer gets a far fairer share of the
profits than he does with you. It was
an uphill fight at first. Now the farm
ers are pretty generally seeing the
benefits of working together. In Vic
torla, where they do not have any such
system, they are pretty badly off, and
hare to take whatever the middlemen
choose to give, although they make
Just as good butter as we do—butter
which sells Just as well in the London
market. The cattle most popular are
called the South Coast breed, origin
ally a cross between the Shorthorn and
the Ayrshire, which, through careful
selection, have now become a distinct
breed, having its own stud book. It is
good for both milk and beef. We do
not go in for Jerseys as much as you
do.”
Aa Important Clau of Foods.
In the present state of affairs, when
low prices prevail for almost all kinds
of farm products, and the prices realiz
ed in many instances are but little if
any more than the cost of production,
it behooves the farmer, if he would not
be driven into bankruptcy, to devise
some means by which to improve hiB
condition. That relief is needed no
one will deny. What is to be done
under the circumstances? I think, to
use a general term, that a well-directed
economy should be the watch-word all
along the line, and perhaps to no de
partment of farming industries does
this principle more justly apply than
that of dairying. Prices for butter
and cheese have been declining year by
year, until it has become a serious
question with many as to whether the
business can be profitably prosecuted
under the present adverse clrcum
stances. Adulterations and Imitations
of butter and cheese with oleomar
garine; olive and such like compounds
in immense quantities of late years
have been placed upon our markets
and put on sale as genuine dairy pro
ducts, and by these means dishonest
dealers have sought to enrich them
selves at the expense of the honest and
industrious dairyman. That prices
should decline under these conditions
was Inevitable. This is an evil that can
only be remedied by appropriate legis
lation, and it is the duty of the farmer
to see that his rights in this matter are
fully protected. Several of the states
have passed laws looking to this end.
Congress not long since passed a law
levying an internal revenue tax on such
manufactures, and those who took
notice at the time will remember what
a howl of opposition was raised against
the measure by its opponents. Milk,
pure and unadulterated, perhaps more
nearly contains all the elements of a
perfect food than any article of food
consumption known to man, and might
very properly be termed nature’s own
cooking, and is especially adapted to
the wants of the young. Milk and its
products are very largely consumed as
articles of food by a large majority of
our population, thus entering intimate
ly into the very life-blood of the peo
ple; and I believe I might safely assert
that the food of a people most surely
leaves its impress upon the nation. We
sometimes hear the term “beef-eating
Englishmen’’ used. We might also add
butter and cheese-eating, for they are
large consumers of both, and are our
best customers for these articles; and
who will deny that to their diet is
largely due this national prestige?—

Remedy for Poultry Disease.
Will you kindly allow me some
space in your paper? In your last
number I notice an item from M. A. H.,
Kingsley, Iowa, reporting an unknown
disease among his poultry. I was
troubled with apparently the same dis
ease in my flocks, and after trying
several reipediee. at last succeeded in
finding a cure. Am glad to submit it for
the benefit of your readers. Procure
equal proportions of resin, sulphur,
alum and cayenne pepper; would sug
gest purchasing one pound of each.
Those should be finely ground and
well incorporated with meal, about one
tablespoon to the quart. This makes
a hot ration, and chickens must be
hungry to relish it. I mix meal with
sour, or, if not obtainable, sweet milk, I
in preference to water. This is be
yond question the best thing I have
ever tried. It is also good in cases of
cholera. T. Edward Foley.

Keep Up Gravel Supply.
Remember that in the winter time
the ground is frozen and often cover
ed with snow, and it is impossible for
the fowls to collect the gravel that is 1
needed for the work of the gizzard. Do
not therefore neglect to get a few baa- j
kets of gravel now and then. If there *
is a gravel bed near, a horse load of
the gravel may be hauled to the house
and delivered to the hens as they may
need. Doubtless some of the indiges
tion that afflicts poultry in winter
comes from the lack of gravel. Kill j
a chicken in winter, especially when
they have for a long time been deprived !
of gravel, and you will find the crop
empty of the grit. It takes a little
work, but work must be done if the
fowls are to be kept healthy.
Distribution of Seeds.—It often hap
pens that, on small islands in rivers,
trees and flowers are found that do not
grow on the neighboring banks. These
have come down the river, sometimes
from the mountains where it rises, in
the shape of fruits, and have found
lodging on the island, during high
water. Sometimes fruits are thus
borne quite out to sea, and then they
may be caught by an ocean current
and carried long distances, it has
been said that Columbus first formed
the notion that there might be land
beyond the western ocean on seeing
some strange nuts that had been
washed to the shores of the Azores
from far away America.—Ex.

soma roughs who had a bull terrier
which they set on the countess' pet.
The earl called upon them to de3ist,
which they insultingly refused to do,
whereupon he went for the biggest
of them in true pugilistic fashion. A
ring waS formed, and there was a hot
fight to a finish. The earl came off
victor, leaving his opponent in a bat
