"You have a good mother." . t Best ever was,' was the smiling re mark of the little fellow, as he raised his hat and then took the fare to put in . the box. That was a boy in a thou- . aand, and his stockings were darned at the knee, and' the hem let out of his short knee pants, so that riches had nothing to do with it.

The milk, tifter passing among them, is al lowed to stand for a day or two until it begins to turn sour. It throws up no cream but becomes compact and te nacious and most delicious in taste.
