Teaching n heifer with her first culf to
&tnnd quietly aud be milked depends very
much on the disposition and previous
baudliug of the animal, but even more,
I believe, writes a correspondent, ou the
disposition and management of the
milker. Tho treatment should be firm,
but of a gentle character, such us Dot to
excite her fears or resentment.
No domestic animal can bo made gentle
or obedient by harsh words or brutal
punishmcut. For the first milkiugs,
without making preparations iu a way
to alurm her, if she is at all inild it will
be best to put her in a position where
be will lo absolutely under control and
cannot escape. No worse beginning can
be made than to let a heifer at her first
milking kick the pail and run away. If
aha pursisti in kicking tie her (oot so
he cannot raiso it. It is better to tie a
cow and confine her closely in a stall
than to have somebody assist you and
attempt to hold her. Let her know from
the first that you are able to tuke care of
her without any one helping you, aud
that she cannot gain auy victory over
you if she tries. She should, if possible,
always be milked by the same person
until he ia at least thoroughly broken
to being milked twice a day, and she
will soon Icain to accept her regular
milker as her master, and if rightly han
dled at first will give little or na trouble
afterward. Sett York World.

Tho "Housekeeper's Friend" is a new
device for the prevention of the myste
rious evaporation of the contents of cer
tain bottles which form an Integral part
of most domestic establishments. Tho
solution of this hitherto apparently hope
less problem is embodied in tho use of a
bottle-locking apparatus of much sim
plicity. A circular band of metal closes
on a hinge around the neck of the bottle,
it ends, which project at right angles,
being provided with holes. Over these
a padlock hasp is placet, and when tho
padlock is locked tho cork defies any at-
temps of extraction short of picking the
lock, or breaking off tho neck of tho
bottle. It has been remarked that a
padlock keeps out only "honest thives,"
but it is precisoly that class who abstract
glasses of wino or spirits or spoonfuls of
tea, and these can now bo rondo secure.
It has been suggested tlint this lock will
be specially serviceable to travelers. In
cases, too, whero dangerous medicines
are being used such a method of distin
guishing them and possibly preventing
their being administered indiscreetly
would seem a wise prcaaution. Sfcto

Many iiousckccnera who can hut. til
afford tho expense send their lace cur
tains to tho laundrv to bo
the summer, fiom the mistaken idea that
they cannot bo properly lauudried at

to overseo tho work, they would bo sur
prised to find how satisfactorily aud
easily it may be doue in their own kitch
ens by an ordinary servant.
As soon as the curtains aro taken down
they should be well shnkon, to free them
from dust, and put in tepid water in
which a little Pcarlino has been dissolved,
nnd worked carefully with the hands
through several waters, but never
soaked, through a mistaken idea that
thev will wash moro easily. Wneu per
fectly clean tho curtains should be rinsed
through blue water, and then lay them
in starch water, or, better still, in a thin
solution of gum-arabic, after which they
should be squeezed and not wrung. The
greater tho speed in drying tho work the
more satisfactory it will be, as lace
shrinks more than nny other geods.
"When ready to dry thoy should bo fas
tened in a pair of frames quilting
frames will answer on which should bo
arranged small hooks to fasten tho lace
with. The curtains should be stretched
to their full length when put on the
frames, which can be set on chairs to
dry. If the frames are not convenient
pin clean sheets down over carpets, or
on a clean carpet in a vacant room, and
aircicu ana pin me curtains over, being
careful to smooth out and pin tho edges
of tho lace in proper shape. The cur
tains should dry In a few hours, when
they may be taken from the frames
or sheets, gently shaken and hung up.

The sale of beer In this country is iucreo
ing at the rate of three million barrels pel

The cause assigned for the drink habit
ore multiform physical and mental strain,
heredity.norvous diseases, comfortless homes,
laziness, idleness, sorrow, domestio troubles,
corrupt society, etc. Selfishness is generally
omitted ; but it is usually at the root of all
vice and sin.
Edgar and Douglas Counties, Illinois, are
now both prohibition counties. These coun

with a wide sailor collar, embroidered
with anchor, nnd a white tio. A anucy
little sailor hat contributed further to
his misery. In wet went hor this dclicnto

A Modern Catapult.
Mr. Henry Singleton, of rAeueea, Mo.,
is of an inventive turn of mind, and
after much thought and labor succeeded
iu manufacturing a steam catapult that
would throw a livo-pound missile a mile.
Having built his engine, ho desired to
try it, and, renting an old mill iu tho
suburbs, he rigged up tho machine, pro
vided a goodly pilo of missiles, and
proceeded to business. Hy an unlucky
accident tlio villago hotel chanced to be
just in tho range of the machine, and
while Hingleton was touching her off,
watching the missile Hy oil through tlio
air, and hugging himself with delight nt
the success of his invention, tho people
in the hotel were taking tho liveliest ex
ercise in trying to dod;;o tho strnngc
hailstones that plumped down upon them
in rapid succession, nnd wondering
whence they came. But Singlcton tri
umph did not last long a determined
pang, well armed with shot guus and
thing, soon put a stop to his target
practice, and to his catapult as well,
and he was granted hi lifo in consider
ation of his taking a lengthy vacation.

Pretty strong
reasons for trying Dr. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. In the first
place, it cures your catarrh
no matter how bad your case,
or of how long standing. It
doesn't simply palliate it
cures. If you believe it, so
much the better. There's
nothing more to be said.
You get it for 50 cents, from
all druggists.
But perhaps you won't be
lieve it. Then there's another
reason for trying it. Show
that you can't be cured, and
you'll get S500. It's a plain
business .olTer. The makers
of Dr. Sage's Remedy will
pay you that amount if they
can't cure you. They know
that they can you think
that they can't. If they're
wrong, you get the cash. If
you're wrong, you're rid of
catarrh.
