A M.lfor Drtrrlhct Hie Orem Vault of I Im Itoynl I'm In r hikI Pome of llm Kiiniuti Workt of Art Tho tlrnml M moil tin. (Dresden Letter, ) This city, the capital of Saxony, sometimes called the Oermnn Flor ence on account of Its art galleries and opportunities for studying art. Is one or the finest cities In Uurope. It has magnlllcent buildings, parks uud squares. Among the most notable are the opeia house, the Kwlngor museum, the Frationklrche and the Japanese pnlace. In winter 2,000 Americans live here and the city Is one of the gayest In Kurope because of the coint festi vities. Of the sights perhaps the green vault of the royal palace, which holds the crown Jewels. nrtlcleB of brass, Ivory, gold and bronze, each a marvel of workmanship, Is the most unique. In other parts of the palace me the solid sliver service compris ing pieces enough to serve 1,000 per sons. A sliver gilt service of quaint design dating from 1710 Is also shown. The royal linen Is ii splendid exhibit There arc 3,000 napkins, which ure three times the size of thoso now In use, and which arc only brought out from the wooden drawers, where they are carefully laid, on great occasions, when loyalty feasts Its votaries. Dres den Is famous for Its linen and royalty has taken advantage of Its excellence. The apmtmeut used for chlmr abounds In scIb of the royal ware, better known as Dresden china. The most valuable set Is ornamented with led dragons made In 1700 from designs by Mnr colliil, under who gcnliiH porcelain or namentation attained Its greatest per fection. Tho, (Iriiml MiiM'tim. The .lohanueiim museum, which con tains the finest collection of armor, an cient and medieval, under any roof, is here sot off to the best advantage. Theie are curios hy the thousand In this historical collection, but the nr moied hoisemnn mid footman eclipse all the other attractions. The Swinger museum, whose treas ures have made Dresden llrst In art among the cities of Kurope, Is the crowning glory of tho Saxon town, it Is Immense In size. On its sides hang two of the 12 greatest paintings In tho world the Slstlne Madonna by Ra phael, and Corregglo'8 Nativity or ROYAL CHURCH AND ROYAL CAS TLE. (In tho Inttcr Is the remarkable col lection of Jewels In the green vault.) Holy Night. The former, to be studied to advantage, must be seen in the orig inal, for no copy has ever done it Justice. It lias been claimed that Raphael was inspired while placing the figures on the canvas. Whether this Is truo or not tho picture makes nn Indelible Impression. It Is hard to realize that oil can produce uuch ap parent realism. I.lkn a VUlnn. The effect Is like that produced by a vision. Tho Madonna's face has a happy, dreamy, inscrutable expression never to bo found In a copy, no mat ter how well done. To see the Mn- donnn In all her beuuty and majesty you must go to Dresden. This mar velous painting Is kept apnrt from tho others In a room devoted wholly to showing oft its beauties. It Is en closed In a stnndlng silver frnmo. This statement doubtless will surprise many, ns there Is an Impression that the subject Is heroically treated nnd that tho painting is of uncommon size. A vigilant guard enforces silence In this room nnd suppresses nny attempt at fumlllurlty with tho picture. Hour nfter hour tho chairs sot before It aro tilled with reverent admirers, some of whom spend days studying It. Tho Nativity by Corregglo was dis appointing In its coloring which lacks brilliancy, while the marks of time nro plainly discernible. 1 regrotted that our stay In Dresden wns limited, for this richly endowed city deserves many days instead of two, to which our visit hero was confined.

The Trmlmciit of Wlfo-llrnturii DM cmiril Kill'orlull). The Washington Post Is n warm ad vocate of the whipping post for wlfe beiitcrA, nnd halls with uppiovnl the occasional demand for Itn use. In a recent edltorlnl the following remnrks aro made: It has been commanded by wise and humnne men and by benevo lent organizations of thoughtful and piogrenslvo men and women to the legislatures of a number of states, In cluding New York. Hut up to this date Muryland is tho only state of the Union In which the lash for the wlfe heatcr has Btalittory Bjnctlon, If we except Delaware, whose whipping post is at the servlco of a variety of offend ers. In that state the Hogging, Instead of being the only penalty, Is In addi tion, and often n cruel one, to other methods of punishment. It does not take the place of Imprisonment, nnd thus save the taxpayers the cost of feeding and sheltering and guarding culprits and at the same time, giving them freedom to work for the support of their dependents. It simply supple ments the sentence that is customary elsewhere with a flagellation, This, like several other Delaware Institu tions. Is Indefensible. The latest and one of the loudest demands for the whipping post for wlfe-beateis comes from tho good old coifnty of Herks, In the stnto of Pennsylvania. The magis trates of that county, at a recent meet ing In Reading, unanimously resolved that "the adoption of the whipping post for the punishment of wife-boaters would be a proper means of lessen ing this inhuman practice." The mem bers of the magistrates' association pledged themselves to exert their In fluence In all proper ways to get a whipping post law papscd by tho legis lature a whipping post for wlfe-beat-ers only nnd the last to bo the entire punishment, not n vengeful annex to the regular penalty. It Is the opinion of the Post that nothing but n whip ping will appeal to the fears of the wlfe-beuter, and says that thousands of such brutal hiidbauds are found among the Immigrants that yearly crowd Into this country, and nothing but such a punishment will prevail, as the common Jnll faro and treatment Ib luxury nnd ease to them. "Common sense dictates the lnsh to the wife heater," says tho Post. It Is n nice question. It Is undoubtedly true that many Immigrants nro persons not amenable lo reason and recognize only brute force, but Hint Is believed by many to be most demoralizing. COOD COWS. Hint llntry AiilnmU Aro l'roninlile Hay l'rof. llujwrtttl. Of the various obstacles standing In our way nnd daring us to remove them, says Professor Hay ward of the Penn sylvania Experimental Station, none Is greater than the poor dairy cow. No mntter how much care we take with our butter, nor how skilfully we feed the cow. If she has not the capacity to produce moio than 200 pounds of but ter In a year our labor Is useless, for prollt Is Impossible. I need not tell you that every dairymen would bo better on" If he had better cows. Wo nil know this. Why, then, every dai ryman docs nol take steps to sccuio better cows Is a question I cannot un Hwer. It Is a Hlmple matter to Improve a herd, if one goes about It In the right way. A little extra cam in weigh ing tho milk and testing samples of each cow's milk once a month will give a correct idea of what each cow Is doing and $30 or $50 every live or six yenrs will purchase a well bred bull of any dairy breed. Then, by careful selection of the female calves n herd can be brought up to and main tained on a profitable basis. Too much care cannot be taken In chcos ing tho sire who Is to head the held. A good pedigree and a good looking individual Is not all that Is necessary, since even a calf from tho most popu lar strains and of a most promising In dividuality may bo a failure as a sire. I havo In mind n herd which had ninde a reputation by ItB large production, which was put buck almost to tho nv erngo by the use of a poor sire. It ap pears to me to be safer for two or three dairymen to unite In buying a sire who hud proven himself a pro ducer of superior offspring, rather than to pay tho samo money for an uncertainty, even If you owned him alone. Whnt' In a Niune ? Consistency Is a Jewel and there ure some men who wear It. We hear of men who are true to their names In the sense of conducting their business with relation to the honor they will reflect upon It, but It Is 'rare we hear of people who conduct n business that Is harmonious with their names. Hut there are 3i":h. For Instnnce, not so very long ago there was a mucilage used largely In Milwaukee, though not made hero, that was made by Stickwcll & Co.

IIoit I.ttlte llnrottiy L'rreilr t'ftine tu Ho DovUps of iMIIllnim, I'rotlJril Htm l.uuU "ii I'roprr mill Vlrtuniit I.I re." (Special Letter.) Dorothy Ciecdc, infant helre3s to nn old man's millions, will come Into full possession of her fortune in twenty years, "If hIio has led a pioper mid vir tuous life." Five of these years have already passed over Jlnby Dorothy's head. It Ih a lucky head; the luckiest In all California, nnd ono of the prettiest as well. It Is covered with a curling mass or line, Hoft hnlr. Helcne nnd Cleopat rn and other sirens of other centuries lire declined to have possessed Just such liuir as miideDoiothy heiress to the Creede millions. For It Wils the Titian tint of the little oneV tresses that caught the fancy of childless Nicholas Creede in Los Angeles four years ago. caught his fancy mid held It by a thousand glittering threads while tho sweet dimpled fate with Its rare red-gold aureole won lily heart. Dorothy was the only being on earth whom Nicholas Creede loved when he died. She had become more precious to him than the gold for which ho had tolled, nnd the silver for which he had delved deep In the Colorado mountains. And when he loosed his hold on ltfo and the riches that had mocked him when he tried to buy happiness with them, Dorotny was the only object to which he clung, the ono thing that he could not reconcile himself to leave be hind him. llroiiKlit MihllRht to lllin. For a year she had brought sunlight into his chill, hard life. One year he had Known the Joy of teaching lisping lips to say "Papa," of feeling the dear embrace of baby ar.ii about his neck, the satin touch of baby lips upon his rough nilnei's check, the strangely Htrong clasp of a baby's liny, lraglle ringers instinctively clinging nroihnl his own. For twelve months Dorothy had been his Irgally adopted dp lighter. Some time during that last year of his on earth Millionaire Cicede made a will. Prompted by his adoration of the child, whom he could scarcely bear to havo out of his sight, tho natural anxiety of a doomed man looking into tho uncertain future of a beautiful girl lor whose fate he felt a father's respon sibility, he dictated the cluuse which will stand for two decades iih an ad monition to Dorothy's guardians, and which Is to be the rulo by which she will order her existence: "It Is my wish thnt 'she shall then take full possession of the property. If clio hns led a proper and virtuous life." As to the inheritance Itself, it will not be less than $3,000,000. It woh a lucky day for naby Dorothy when the ilch man who lived In the big. handsome house next door, looked through the window when tho sun beaniB were frolicking with her Tltlnn tressed little head, the while the young mother taught her to put her rose-lenf feet one before the other upon the gold en path. The mother was Mrs. Walker. She Is Mrs. Hasford now. It was n pretty picture that the sad sick man saw from his window the mother teaching her first-born how to walk. It reminded him of other pie tures, not so real nor so nnlmato, of the Madonna and her child. And Titian hair lind always seemed to him the most wondeiful hair In the world. The Mollinr l-oi. When ho asked to take tho baby Into the lovely grandeur of his house, with DOROTHY CRKEDE'S MOTHER. Us two c,lty blocks of beautiful garden, and bring hor up as his vory own, tho heiress to IiIh silver mines, his Uordo of banked gold, nnd his valuable realty, the mother shuddered at the thought nnd said "No," for never was tho mother Instinct stronger in woman than in Edith Scott Dnsford. Hut it troubled her to think that slio had nothing to give her baby excepting a mother's love and tender care, for Dorothy'a father had forsakon them both and the young wife was compelled to emn a livelihood for herself and chll.' upon the stnge, with the superb contralto with which nature had en dowed her, in addition to tho gift of personal charm nnd hnlr that In in fanci' hnd luen like Dorothy's own. So sho ald good-by to the rich man and ennio with her babv to San Francisco. Hero her health failed. Sho was taken to a hospital. The doctors said she had only a few weeks, to live. There seemed to be but ono thing for her to do, and eJio did it lor hot -baby's sake, Sho gave hor Into Creede's legnl lie ptuc. The doctors know a gronl deal, but they do not always know whjt Is g.nng lo happen to i patient who means to live; and miracles sometimes occur.
