CONSOLED.
The dull winter's day w»« drawing to •
olose whon Marianne do Courvoy came
home from the cemetery where tno re
mains of her fiance, Joan de Thymines,
had been laid.
This brilliant young man. the eldest arm
of the family whoae ruwne he bore, died
from the effects irf a hunting a««id«nt a«
is years of age, and on the eve of a ma*
tlage ardently desired by all ooncerned and
one that seemed to combine all rtiu condl
tlemi of hhrplness.
Marianne sank dowu In a suiN, of e*
hAUStion on a sofa la the drawing
room. Her strengiii wa« g<me. Rio many
overwhelming emotions had completely
prostrateil her, and she fainted away The
careful attention of lo*lng hands 1 rought
her hack to consciousness. Then she swore
to God to bnrv her 20 years in the sorrows
ef a voluntary widowhood and in the sol
emn duties of eternal fidelity to the mem
ory of tho pn-'t. The resolution that Mile,
de Courvoy had formed and had commu
nicated to h" r family did iu<t tahe 1 i:ig to
make itself known s?.iernlly to the world.
Among people who did not kixjw her
well she found only uniielievcrs. K<»r la
ther and mother aloim in h«? reso
lution. for they knew hf-r firm will J4nd
the energy and singleness of her soul.
They were convlnoetl that >• the wl.iow of
Jean de T'hemlnes sho would w...r her
widow's weeds forever, so much cut.in. i d
indeed that they umdu no effort U> wuj.ijnt
her resolution.
During the year that followed th*
of her l)Ctr<jtfied itarianne receivi>l t* •
prop!jsr»li< W murri >a- She r»fustsl thenr.
A third who arrived upon the »vn» re
coived the same treatment. Fler si'rer*
ninrrlfHl. and their mnrrtago furnlincd r.-n
opportunity to teat somewhat tho urengtb
and deptii of the young widow's resolu
tion, hut sho remained unchanged
"I am a widow," she said, "and a
widori" I mean to remain." E>vrv sl.v
months sho spent a fow wct with Jean's
mother, who lived sinco his dcatji in re
tirement In the Chateau of Themli.es.
When she r. turned to licr parents after
theso periixlicol aliiehces, she showed the
same disposition to remain slnglx, and by
degrei s tho conviction at which tl»* world
had laughed was accepted as serious and
final.
It was believed that Milo. tiu Courvoy
would never marry again.
• ••••**
Mine, de Thcinincs Jiad n soco-id son,
Pierre do Them 1 ties. 110 was younger
than Jean and was now at ths ago at
which hts brother had met death in tho
hunting field.
Marianne did not know hiui. At the
time when she was betrothed to Jean he
was f.way in Asia on a voyage of #xplora
tion, and although after his brother's
death ho had signified his intention of
ooming home for two years he had been
detained l>y the delays of a long and diffi
cult journey. Ills mother was still wait
ing for his return.
Kho awaited his arrival with lropfttlenpe
that was the more keen because she had
not been able to console herself for tho
death of her eldest son or to fill tho void
caused by that loss. Her grief was only
partially alleviated when she was able to
talk of I'ierre, her second sou, In whom
all her hopes were now centered. Sho
hoped that soon after his returji home he
would marry and by his inamage bring
back to her hearth and homo some of tho
joy and light that .li%n's donth had over
shadowed.
Marianne was almost tho only person te
whom the old ludy hud confided this liope.
She was the person to whom, lo preferenoo
to all othors, sho spoke of the absent one.
Bho would praiso his exoellent qualities of
heart, his personul oppearnDoe and his
obaraeter.
"Ho is the exact Image of hkjt brother,"
she would often say.
Marianne heard so much about Pierre,
read so many of his letters, saw his pic
tures and hoard his praise so often and so
loudly sung that she began to feel an In
terest In htm, although sho had never soen
him. She began to form In hor mind a
picture of what he should bo if his char
acter and appearanco hod been truly
drawn.
But in this interest she fell for the nb
■ent Pierre was no trace of the love she
had conceived for Jean. She merely pro
fessed for Pierre, without knowing him,
the affection that she was bound to feel
for everybody who had loved ar known
Jean. She looked upon herself in some
sense as his sister, and she would have
protested strongly against any suggestion
that tho character of her affection fur this
unknown brother could chai««o Into love.
One evening while she was staying at
the chateau n letter came announcing tho
arrival of Pierre In tho country. It was
followed two hours later liy I'ierre him
self.
"Yoy will see him, and you will love
him," said Minn, de Themlnes to Mari
anne.
Sho attached to these words no special
meaning, but when he came Into tho room
she was overwhelmed. Mme. de Themlnes
had not exaggerated when she said that
Pierre was tho image of Jean.
Marianne thought tl.at she saw before
her the old lover allvo from the dead the
same fnoe, tho same hair, the same frame
and build and tho same manners. Sho
listened for his voice. It was the voice of
the dead man, and in tho accent and turn
be gave to them It was as if she were ac
tually in the presence of tho dead Jean and
listening to his words from the grave.
This interview resulted In an attack of
prostration.
On tho following day she mado tarried
preparations to go away, us if some dan
ger threatened her. But Mine, do Thft.
mines would not allow her to depart.
"If you go away now," she said, "you
will throw a shadow over tho joy I feel at
the return of my son."
So Marianno did not go away In spite
of her alarm there soon took place In her
a transformation that, unknown to her
self, resulted In the awakening of hopes
that she would not admit.
Once again she experienced In talking
with Pierre the charm that she had loved
so well with his brother Jean.
With tho help of this Illusion her heart
opened and warmed once again with love.
One day Mine, de Themlnes came up to
her and whispered In her ear:
"I'lerro loves you, my dear girl. Ivive
him."
She dlil love him. Now they are mar
rled.—Exchange.
No Wonder.

MISS KENDAL'S FAN.
She was rather a smart youtiK woman.
Ho thought himself an uncommonly smart
yonng man.
Now, between these two definitions
there Is a good deal of difference both In
mlnil, body and estate. Of course they
both had bodies, else wherefore record
them In these pages? But she had the
blind and ho had tho estate, while, as for
those two attributes—well, to quote Miss
Moy Kendal, "What a world apurt they
are, my dear!"
Having spent all she had on her smart
est dress to go to hor host party In, the
necessary shoes therefor nearly broke her,
and hor mamma ohsolutely refused to ad
vance her any more on her next quarter's
allowance. But her mind was quite at
ease respecting gloves and stockings, for
the army hod supplied her with one and
the navy with tho other under oover of a
little betting, which was strictly proper,
for are they not sister services?
But her fan was sadly broken. S» this
economical young woman spent the after
noon before this special party, sitting with
her back to the light to give her com
plexion every chance, mending tho im
provident fan with a weak solution of
gum and water. Why weak solution?
Well, she knew what she was about bet r
than you would.

though she did not h«»« to live by l.er
wits, she frequently made fliem nfford
various little additions to ker toilet, and
that is no small matter »o a smart young
woman.
so «he diMiceil and wai •ought nft<r.
And presently, while she was sitting out,
her partner took hold of thut guileless fan.
In un instant It was broken, and her littW
try of distress quita went to hU hiutrt.
Being rather impecunious himself, young
Schilling knew how difficult it was to
raise the ready coin at every moment's no
tice.
"Doesn't half match your dress,"' he
said, as she examined It carefully, saying
she must try If it could bo mended. " I)nn't
bother about it. I'll gend you onothcr. "
"How awfully sweet! And It's just like
you to think of matching my dress." Har
tone was charming.
Then presently she went Into supper
with a man whom sho had mat two or
thre« tlma» and knew vagusly aa ono
knows quad rated of casual acquaintances.
But It was only that evening sho had lisurd
him described as very rich, and it made
her thoughtful. This was the youug man
with body and estate. He thought bur un
commonly smart.
"How slippery thus# silks are!" sho said
a« they finished supper, it was u sit down
one and of remarkable "D > you
think you could pick up my fail for me.
It has dropped down at your slue?"
He pushed *a -k his ehuir and sluu^d.
"Oh, It's broken!" sh. urled. »o«.
At that moment Xr. Gould llftad bis
bead. There was a sllijh( collision. She
blushed charmingly and he held tho fan
awkwardly in his hand. Tho stick" were
smashed ncross
Then thnt first yonnjr man passad nn
the ottier side nt the N»hl«. Ha took in
the situation, .ind he smiled an evil smile.
Wie blushed deeply. The man of opnlwnca
stuttered.
"Shall we go back into tlw dancing
room?" she si.id softly, I ut aha did nns
put out lier band the fan, so he car
ried It.
"I'm awfully Berry," said Mr. Gould
for the second time when tb«y v»er* iu the
oorrldor.
"It was MII old ftriead," she rejoined
plaintively. "Shall wu turn Into the li
brary and cremate tho r« lies? I can't ban
tho idea of Its Ixing thrown nn the dust
hop."
When they stood by the fir*, he offered It
to her, but she shook her head, smiling
this time. "No, that Is too srnsl You
did It, and you must bnrn the poor thing.''
"I'm awfnlly sorry," he said for the
third time "'May—er—may I not send
you another?"
"Oh, but this was of no value reolly. I
can get one myself."
"No. Do let roe. It was all my clumsi
ness. Let mo have your address, and I 'll
send you one."
She hesitated, paused expressively, till,
lifting her eyes to him, sho murmured,
"Will you bring It, then? - '
She went home that evening and
dreamed of having silver brushes with tho
most elaborate monograms procurable.
But the rich young man fatuously con
versed with his old schoolfellow, the poor
young man, who threw himself in his
way. So they became righteously indig
nant together over tho artfulness of her
scheming.
"Let's send her one of those Joponese
paper things," suld young Schilling
"Come around to my rooms. We'll find
ono there and do It up, with our kind TO
gards."
"All right," said young Gould, yawn
ing, for he was half asleep and easily led.
i So they made up tho parcel together.
But Schilling ruther overdid his part, and
Gould, at tho last moment relenting,
pulled his card out agnln while the other
had his back turned hunting fur sealing
wax and kept his own counsel. After all,
be was a gentleman at heart, which the
other never was nor oould be.
And the next day Gould sent her a love
ly fan from tho Burlington arcade, for he-
Was ashamed of the way they had talked
kbout her that night, and he avoided
Schilling, whom he saw in the club.
Thea sho wrote- him such a charming
little note. And then he met her untx
pec ted ly at church parade one Sunday—
was all tho church ho did in those days
And three weeks lator they were engaged
to lie married, and sho had three sets of
hairbrushes given her right off and did
not like any of them.
Young Schilling tMnks him an awful
idiot to have been taken In by a girl like
that. But she Is very pleased; sho did not
want a clever man at all. Sho has wits
enough for both any day.
She will make a very good wife for a
rich man, but young Schilling and stie
would have swindled everybody and coroo
to grief in the end.—New York Journal.

HUMOR OF THE HOUR.
The following story of the lato Dr.
Kidd of Aberdeen and his beadle la
told iu the "Humor of tho Scot." Tho
kirk officer, it would appear, was a
victim to the national vice. Ho had of
ten been censured, as often forgiven,
anil yet again would fall into bin old
ways.
One day the worthy doctor wan con
fronted by Jeems, so intoxicated that
all his customary caution and sleek hu
mility had flown. In a reckless mooil he
challenged the bnrly old doctor to como
and drink with him. Recognizing the
futility of trying to reason with a man
in t-uch a state, Dr. Kidd replied:
"Oh, aye, Jeems! I'll come wi' ye,
an I'll drink like a beast to please ye."
"Hoorayl" said the headlo. "Coma
along!"
So they entered tho inn, this strange
ly assorted couple, the mark of observa
tion to many a curious eye. Jeems
started to order a "mntchkin," but tho
reverend doctor filled a glass with cold
water and quaffed that.
"Hoots!" expostulated the baccha
nalian beadle. "Yo said yo wad drink

CURD CUTTING.

HORIZONTAI. KNIFE. posit j on Iu
thi« wr.y the shnrp crlprs of the blades
cut the curd, r.r.d the knife is put into
position without breaking the curd. It
is then pushed to the other end of the
vat, cnttinpt the curd into layers. To
put the knife in position to - : ;ove i.ai k
to the oilier end of the vat one side is
used as a rrn'< r and tho ki ifo turoeu
through an arc of 180 degrees. Aft- r
the coajjulurn is cut ir.f': layer, with
♦his knife tl." perpendicular knife Is
used to finish the cutting.
It i« used fir*t lengthwi."- of the vnt,
for cutting 'h-it way disturbs the posi
tion of the curd the least, and then
crosswise. It may be cut once or twica
again if a finer curd is desired. In large
vats the curd cannot be cnt near as
evenly with the perpendicular knife
alone, but in a large number of foetories
I find that i» is the enly knife iu tho
possession of the tnakrr.
Where the curd is cnt uneven tho
large pieces do not firm as rapidly as
the small ones,
and this may Am
make soft spots «jl
or even mottled WM
cheese. Some
makers wait aft- IB
er cutting with JBU
the horizontal
knifo for the
whey to cover W'm K* l|» f
the curd, as they 'jTjj H, J
claim that less jj |
fat is lost if the j |
curd is allowed j 11 | i
to firm a little ' I i
more, but. fiorn | i p i
actual tests of |
the whey I have j
not found this to
be the case. If
tbe curd is nl- (i 1 <>\<s«> i<<j <»
lowed to settle, I
it gets out of po- | j
sitlon for even
cutting and gets |
firmer, and a | I'M
firmer curd re
quires harder us
age to cut it. In
fact, as the cnt- 8 I I
ting progresses I j I !
the rapidity of d|i k; < fi; jt}slt i i
tbo stroke must
be increased or
the particles of 't '- AR KNIFH
curd will pass between the blades with
out cutting.
Two makers may cut four tim<« with
the perpendicular knifo, but if their
strokes are not of the same speed the
pieces of curd will not ho of the same
size. A fast working curd, or one that
is desired for a long keeping cheese,
should bo cut finer in order to get rid of
the moisture faster, but whether for a
firm or soft cheese get it cut even.
After cutting rub the curd off from
the sides aud bottom of the vat by pass
ing the extended hand over them. Then
stir the curd over with the hand sever
al times and turn on the steam, very
gently lit first. The rake can be used
now, and the curd kept in a rolling ni'
tion, at the same time watching tl
corners to see that the curd does not
roll up there in chunks. If we did net
stir the curd, it would settle down im i
ono large mass on the bottom of tl e
vat, and we could not get it cooked
Tho cutting is therefore to dlstribu i
the heat through it evenly, as well as 10
let tho whey out more readily. The
heating accelerates the i xpulsion of the
whey. —Hoard's Dairyman.
To Keep Milk Kwuet.
Why does milk turn sour? It is only
because it has been exposed to oxygen,
which originates fermentation and
thus produces acidity. If fresh milk—
warm from the cow is preforable—is
h'-ated to a t.<*uperaturo of IfiO, so as
to kill tho germs in it, and is then put
in bottles that have been sterilized by
heating to tho boiling point, such milk,
if kept corked, will keep sweet during
tho hottest weather for 24 hours. In
Htead«of using a cork a small piece i f
cotton may bo inserted ill the neck of
the bottle. This heating of the mill,
prepares it all the better for use of ba
bies. 111 fact, milk ought always to be
thus heated before being used by old or
young. Tbo advantage of doing this
while the milk is warm from tho cow
is that ICSH of tho cream rises thau if
the milk is first allowed to cool.—

Hulci That Mailt R»* Obwirvt«4 Iu t-ke
Tr«M*tiu«it of Milk.
Milk is to be delivered font times a
vreek In winter and in snmmor
except Sunday.
On the road to tho creamery the cans
must be protected from beat in summer
ar.d freezing inv un- r by covering with
clean blankets.
Patrons must on no account use any
kin i of preservatives to jafVLUt nii!V
from souring.
All milk delivered shall be sweet and
in good condition. If any be found oth
erwise, the operator sliotdd reject the
i same.
As tending to this end the following
i directions should be observed:
If the cows are stabled, they should
| be kept as clean as possible.
Before milking, the udder and flank
shoald be carefully -brushed and thin
wiped with a damp cloth, even if tho
cow is apparently clean.
Patrons should be especially careful
about musty hay or litter. Almost any
hay or fodder that been stored in
bulk contain* diut which if allowed to
get into buckets or r.:i!k will have a
bad effect on the product.
Musty <r ill in.tiling building for
COY. s shcuM never br uilcwwu UUC.r any
rircni! > tan - es.
At nuikiug time tin air iu tho
should ! • *s clear and sweet ::<= possible.
As eo<3; r« milk is di*v. u from tho
COT,- it fho-." ; te sirr.ined through wire
and throng!: cloth and it should beiiired
and cot.led before it is shut up iu cans
to be hauled.
Warm. n«\v milk should not lie put in
the can villi the previous milking that
has been ccr.U d.
In winter, when milk is not deliv
ered evtry day, it should !*■ stirred up
at least once in 12 hc.urs to prevent the
cream from getting too thick and tc
prevent cream rif ing. Otherwise it will
lie iiupos«!ble to fake a correct sample
for testing This is for the patron's ben
efit.
Milk should be delivered promptly at
the same hrtir fcr rpch patrou.
As so n;. t!ie cans come home with
skimmi.'L t ■ r should be emptied (rinsed
cnt with cold water) and capefully
washed with warm water containing a
little sal soda, then scalded with boiling
water and turned up on racks in the
sun, with their eajis eff until wanted.
The rule in relation to scalding the
milk cans with boiling water should
also apply to the milk pails and strainer.
Steam womd be better, but where that
cannot be had, have a good, large
amount of boiling water, not a little
dab of a few quarts.
Patrons should be exceedingly cartful
not to milk a cow too near her time of
calving, either before or after.
The practice of allowing the male to
run with tbi herd should never bo al
lowed, and .. careful record should be
kept of each cow's time.—Hoard's
Dairyman.
Cooling Milk WHkrnit a Cooler.
My way of cooling miik is simple. I
have a tub of cold well water and a
large tin pwi a little smaller than tho
tub. Place the pan in the water. j>onr
Uie milk in us milked and by the time
I milk another cow it has cooled 20 to
30 degrees. Pour this in the milk can
and cool tlio next cow's inilk in tho
same manner. When my can is full, I
drop it in a cistern 12 feet de»p, with
enough water in it to cover the can, or
to the top.
By this metliod I have been able to
keep my mi'k two days, with 110 sour
milk except wben a thunderstorm
comes, while my neighbors go every
day. This is a great" heJp when one
lives five miles from the factory. 1 hope
in tho future t-o have a milk cooler.
I am still weighing each cow's milk
and testing tho same.—Cor. Hoard's
Dairyman.

Do not let buttermilk remain injor
upon the sides of a churn a moment aft
er tho butter is taken out.
Never re: Id a churn the first thing
after you have removed the butter. That j
will only bake and scald the buttermilk j
fast to tho sidea of the churn. Rinse it
first with cold water to get tho milk -
out. Thin poor boiling water into it and
churn tho I o( water thoroughly against
the wood. N e to it that there are no
particles of buttermilk iu any crease of
the chum. These will decay and taint
tho next batch of butter.
Some people make money out of skim- j
milk and buttermilk by feeding it all ■
back to the cows, although it can Lo j
used prolitably among the chickens and .
pigs. When yon begin giving such milk
to the cows, fi ed rather sparingly of it '
at first, till you i-ee how they tako to it
If they take it kindly, increase th- ra
tion till the cows will t«ke< all the milk
they can get. A correspondent of Tho
Country Gentleman mentions a lmtter
maker who regards the skimmilk and
but term ilk he feeds as worth ♦»(» a year
lo each cow. He gives it to the unimals
iu largo tobacco pails, in which it is
mixed with the cow's grain ration.
Thus mixed the animals devour greed
ily all they cau pet. The pails must be (
fixed lietwecn slats ill the mangers so
the cows cunnot upset them. The cows
in this skimmilk and buttermilk fed I
herd average each 4'is pounds of butter
a year.
Dou't let tho air get to butter. Keep
it covered with parchment paper snaked
in brine. Have the paper all around the
sides and bottom too.
Dairymen do not make half enough
use of land plaster as an absorbent in
their stables. II this plaster is liberally
sprinkled through the stables, and espe
cially over manure heaps, it will pre
vent the horn liy from breeding therein.
The kerosene emulsion kills- horn flir*

With a swath hay loader, the width of
tho loader and the size cf the cot of the
mower should correspond, for cne of
the chief causes of dissatisfaction with
tho swath hay loader has arisen from
trying to part a swath cf hay in tho cen
ter. With a mower cutting six or seven
feet, the eight foot loader can l>e n««l
succi-ssfully, care being taken in driv
ing that the Inside wh>«l or slide ef
the loader sha-11 follow the open space
between the swaths, thereby nvpidMi.it
tho parting of the hay in the swath.
A recent addition to haying tools in
tho hide delivery hay rake, which,
while raking the hay, leaven a continu
ous windrow that can be follow**! at
one© by the loader. In loading, toi ex
tra team (should be provided, and when
this is done the hay loaded can be
handled with iw to the horns, and,
with ail actlvo man on the rear of the
wagon who is not afraid of work and
who understands his bnsinev, a load can
be elevated and built on tfls wagon in
a few minutes. A side delivery bay
loader is among the recent additions to
haying implements. With thr side de
livery hay loader the team is attached
directly to the loader, and it is thriven
alongside cf the wagon to be loaded,
the bay being delivered in about the
center of the wagon instead ef na the
rear.
Tho great improvements nwwto in re
cent years in both hay carriers and
tracks five so much r.dded strength to
these appliances that slings can now bo
used for unloading, mid even four sling*
to a load are giving way to three, and
even two, which makes unloading a
work of brief duration. The pulling
back of tho carrier promises soon to bo
a thing of the past, for the earrier re
turner, with the dropping of the load,
does it;- work promptly and effectively,
and before the driver can bring back
his horse or team the carrier has been
returned and the fork, or hook, for the
sling has been placed within reach of
the per-nu unloading, without any ef
fort on his }«art. whatever. For stacking
buy the wire cable, mount<d with a
carrier and supported at a height of iJ6
or 30 by poles or square timbers,
say 4 by 4 if of pine, and spliced togeth
er lor the necessary length, 80 to BO
feet, standing like an inverted lett<T A,
proves in its adaptation for the work
required the m artst for the hay bain
equipment of anything yet devised. Hay
can be stacked in such a manner that
there will be practically no waste what
ever when a cable derrick is used, and
I the writer can isiint to hundreds of tons
of hay that he has stacked in this man
lier which kept as well and showed as
. little lOM-as if in the b«*st barn ever

A new method of lining np the walla
of a silo is suggested which promises
to be all improvement over the common
| Way of ■Hitched hoard* and sheathing
paper. This consists of using only ordi
nary cheap be aids for the purjioee, leuv
ing an inch space in place of the paper
between the two linings, and filling it
with portland cement. Tins cement fill
ing hard*** to the firmness of stone and
is in no respect affected by the pioacuco
or ahpcuce of moisture. This prevents,
it is claimed, the shrinking and swell
ing of the lining, which tears the paper
und opens ail spaces through tbeahvaUi
tug. At the same time it is leas expen
sivo than the extra coat of tlx: better
lumber required in tho cases of the
matched t»oards. Home silos have been
constructed after tiiis manner, says

Therw an- two extremes in tile drain
ing. The beginner is apt to tlwnk tile
drains are only needed where water
stands on the surface in hollows and
has to be drawn off, but when this Is
done it leaves the soil in these hollows
so much dryer and better fitted for crop
ping that the farmer sees that even the
uplands, that had been supposed dry
enough, need draining also. Usually
the first drains aro put in too shallow.
That, if continued, interns a large, use
less expenditure for tile. Nowhere
should underdraius be dug lc«s than
it feet deep. They will then drain
]* rI '.ct ly 'j to rods on each side of
the underdrain. The soil will hold so
much more water with a deep drain
that it will not require larger slao than
will a shallow one.—American Ooltt
