MILK AND HUMAN KINDNESS.
Tfc* Yield ef * Cow May Depend Much
Upon Her Preference for
the Milker.
On the strength of Information do
rived from the staff of the County Tech
nical college at Chelmsford, England, it
yas affirmed the other day that tbs
amount of milk' which a cow yields may
depend very much on her preference foi
the persons with whom she has to deai,
says a London paper, Let her be milked
by a favorite milker, then both quan
tity and quality are ail that can be de
sired. On the other hand, if man 01
maid be in disfavor, the cow yields lest
milk and of poorer quality. There ex
ists a logical standard of quality—one
which demands that the milk shall con
tain three per cent of fat and 8.5 pei
cent, of the solids, and many a time, it
would seem, the farmer is subjected to
vexatious prosecutions for no bettef
cause than that the cow does not like the
milker. Was the reason aesthetic or
moral? If the former, then one could
understand a song once popular—
j "Where are you going to, my pretty
i maid?” “I’m going a-milking, sir, she
| said.* And when the gay Lothario whs
put the query became mercenary and
! asked, "What is your fortune, my pretty
! maid?" he received for answer: “My
face Is my fortune, sir, she said." If It
were really the pretty milkmaid’s face
that pleased her cows it might indeed
be a fortune. Alas! the explanation is
much simpler and less sentimental.
Mr. Dymond, F. I. C., and Mr. Bull, o!
the Essex Technical laboratories, made
a rigorous experiment on the farm ol
David Hodge, of Widford Hall, near
Chelmsford, taking four cows, and em
ploying four milkers, named respective
ly Mrs. K., Fred, Joe and Jack—which
need not be taken as the actual names—
and scrupulously registering the re
sults. Omitting the other two, in whose
cases the differences were less marked,
a curve was made of the yields procured
by Fred and Jack, and It forms an almost
perfectly regular zigzag for each cow.
rising to the highest or falling to the
lowest precisely as it referred to one oi
a# AVa !11r/vT-n TX7V* 01-00 Cl tVlA
favorite was honored with 18.46 pound*
of milk on one morning, his comrade on
the following day got only 15.17 pounds.
And this yield was uniform, but not
with all the animals. With cow No. 1 a
certain difference was shown, No. 8 wa*
much more capricious, No. 3 was compar
atively and No. 4 absolutely Indifferent.
In other words, the yield of milk de
pended on the temper of the cow and
apparently on the temper of the milker
When the susceptible animal was
treated with any kind of harshnesa two
or three pounds were retained in tte
udder, and it is precisely these last few
pounds to be drawn that are richest' In
fat and solids. Hence the largest sup
plies were also the best in quality. If
the milking were always by the same
person the results would most probably
be fairly constant, but it Is quite con
ceivable that an animal might actually
show diminished freedom of yield If
habitually treated roughly. There la
clearly a bovine psychology; there b«
cows, like No. 2, highly susceptible to
gentle usage, and others, like No. 4, pos
sessing a philosophic Indifference to
Fred and Jack alike. Happy No. 4. It
Is to the farmer’s Interest, as Mr. Dy
mond points out, to study these peculiar
ities of temperament. In these days even
cows have nerves.
FAMILY RECORD BIBLES.
Tktr Are Still In Demand, Bat Hoi
Sold to the Same extent as
Formerly.
“Do we still sell the old-fashioned fam
ily Bible, with pages in it for the record
of births, deaths and marriages? Oh,
yes," said the bookseller, according td
a New York exchange, "but not so many
of them as we once did.
“There are more Bibles sold now, tak
ing them all together, than ever before,
and the Bible is issued now in an almost
endless variety of forms and styles;
but the demand for it in this particular
form is now, I should say, not more than
one-third what it once was.
“Still, we keep these record Bibles to
day in a dozen styles, ranging in priee
from five dollars to J20. The blank rec
ord pages, these often illuminated, are
bound in between the two Testaments.
<*Tn. nnm A fhaOA Dlhlna fihoro { A A
blank presentation page upon which
may be written the name of the person
to whom the Bibie is presented, with
the name of the giver; and in some of
them is contained a blank marriage cer
tificate; and in Borne there are bound In
with the pages for the record of births,
deaths and marriages, pages for the rec
ord of temperance: pledges.
“These Bibles are more likely to be
bought nowadays by country people, and
it might be by people of the German race
and by Irish Protestants; ail likely to be
substantial people of comfortable
means; conservative people who cling
still to time-honored customs.
“So, while the old-time family record
Bible, with pages for the record of
births, deaths and marriages, has gone
somewhat out of fashion, and is not sold
to the extent to which it once was, yet
it 1b still sold, and, the demand for it is
still considerable."

ANCIENT MILITARY SCHOOL,
jHtaiorle Oroiai on Which the Toms
Mm of Louisiana Receive
Their Tralalns.
The Louisiana state university and
agricultural and mechanical college is
known as the military college of the
south, says the Baltimore Sun. It is lo
cated at Baton Rouge, and numbers
among its graduates many men who are
now offleers in the regular army. Gen.
W. T. Sherman was the first president
of the institution before the civil war,
and, notwitstanding his espousal of the
northern cause, his memory is still rev
ered at this scene of his former labors,
and his life-size portrait in oils occuplei
a prominent place in the handsome as
sembly hall of the college.
The site of the university is hlstorlf
ground. It was for many years a mil
itary post, and the garrisons of France,
England, Spain and the United States
have all at different periods occupied
It. After it was abandoned for military
purposes It was turned over to the state
of Louisiana for purposes of education.
The original buildings, however, still
stand, and, with the flag floating over
them, present a striking and beautiful
appearance.
Here, In 1779, Galves, the Spanish gov
ernor general of Louisiana, after an en
gagement that lasted for three days, cap
tured the British garrison. The Span
iards were in turn driven out by a party
of Americans, and this marked the
passing of west Florida from the do
main of Spain. In 1861 the confeder
ates captured the post, and the next year
a desperate battle, involving both land
and sea forces, was fought near by,
and the confederate ram Arkansas was
blown up In the view of the land bat
teries.
Many distinguished offleers served
here while it was still a military post
Among those whose names are associ
ated with the place are Wilkinson and
the first Wade Hampton, Winfield Scott
and Zachary Taylor, Grant and Lee and
Stonewall Jackson, McClellan and Joe
Johnson, Bragg, Rosecrans, Longstreet,
Harney, Thomas and Beauregard, For
Mil anA PViU ChnviAan UarAno Anri
Hood, Hancock and Custer,* Admiral
Porter and "Bishop” Gen. Polk. Among
the great civilians we recall the names
ef Abraham Lincoln, Clay and Calhoun
and Jefferson Davis. There is hardly
a place elsewhere in the south so rich
la historic associations.
The university is true to its traditions.
The sons of Louisiana are soldiers by in
heritance, and while they revere the
eause for which their fathers fought, no
northern boys are to-day more loyal to
the flag which is lowered at sunset every
evening to the well-known strains of
retreat, while on parade of over 300 ca
dets stands on parade at attention.
Everything about the university is con
ducted on military lines, and by means
of frequent inspections a proper system
of discipline is constantly maintained.
CURIOUS HABITS OF WRITING.
The Scribbling Microbe Never Leave*
One After it Gain* a
Lodging.
“The habit of writing is a curious
habit and one which may not be out
grown,” said an old scribbler, in the
New Orleans Tlmes-Democrat. "It
seems to be bom in the blood. It is a
part of the nature of some men to write
things. Early in life they begin to yield
to an inclination to jot things down; to
scribble off a few thoughts at idle mo
ments, and between times, as it were;
to versify a bit; to philosophize; to put
down maxims and axioms, and to scrawl
a thousand and one little nothings
which appeal to the fancy from time to
time. Once acquire the habit and it is
thine for aye. No amount of change in
life’s course; no upheavals of fortune,
no sudden shifts of fate and destiny; no
nothing that may come with the fleet
ing years will ever once break the mind
from the bent Vhlch prompts it to trace
in the queer curling symbols which roll
•ut from the pencil’s poii^t the little
playful nothings about which the soul
w wont to dream.
“Dainty, delicate children are these
little vagrants which one idly scrawls
Into existence between times, 'iften
they are bright, deep, subtle and of the
verities; sometimes tney are morose,
gloomy, of that sterner stuff which feed*,
the soul of the hungry pessimists; som*
times as light and airy as the very foam
which bursts laughingly around the
ankles of Aphrodite; but whether light
or profound, whether gay or sad, these
things of mental loafing, these little
pet nothings of mental vagabondage,
are scintillants which cheer and amuse
a fellow as he hurries on from one mil*
post to another. Ah, for the habit ol
writing! It pays when the bank fails
—pays in the sweet consolation one maj
know from close communion with one’s
own soul, for man hath not known his
soul until it glare at him in such cheap
symbols as he may employ in efforts
always short of weight, to speak Its
weighty sentiments."
A Tall One.
An American in Paris wasi one day
looking at the Eiffel tower, when h«
was accosted by an enthusiastic French
man with: “Ah! my friend, that is s
beautiful tower, and I dQubt very mucl
whether you have anything to beat 11
In America."
“Wal, stranger,” replied the Amer
ican, ‘I guess it’s good for France, bui
In America we have a tower so higl
that we have to lower the top at night.’
“Lower the top at night?” replied thi
Frenchman. “For what reason?”
“Wal, I guess It is Just to let the moor
pass, stranger. Good-day.”—Londoi

Every Throb
Of My Heart Was
Plainly Felt, and
Sometimes Very
Painful.
If your pulse Is too strong, and your
heart throbs so that you can feel the
force of the heart-beat against your
chest, your heart Is weak and needs at
tention.
This Is usually caused by long contin
ued palpitation, over-work, excessive
exercise, heart strain, and the condition
Indicates serious heart trouble. Tou
should act at once.
The very best thing to do is to take
Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure, a remedy
that will strengthen the nerves and
muscles of the heart, and restore them
to their normal condition.
If you neglect to do this, disastrous
consequences will surely follow. Tou
will have smothering spells, pain In the
heart, faintness, the valves of the heart
will become leaky, and the heart left In
a death struggle.
“My heart bothered me so that I
could feel every pulsation. Could only
sleep on my left side. Doctors told me
that I had one-flflh enlargement of the
heart. I had all the usual symptoms of
heart trouble. I took about 15 or 20
bottles of Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure and am
completely cured. I have had no symp
tom of heart disease for tyvo years, and
am attending to my business affairs,
which I could not do before.”—
