[ Who Tries to Help Around
1 the House.
\^hen a married man gets out of his
ortyit, or oft his half of the domestic
catpet, so to speak, the consequences
are always more or less disastrous to
hf(m, says the Detroit Free Press.
Vwe’ve just moved,” said an unhap
py-looking man in a little neighbor
hood crowd of men who were buying
their evening cigars at a corner to
bacco shop. "Or, rather, we are half
moved. Half our household truck has
gone over to the new place, and half
is still with us. Then I sold a lot, too,
and got myself in awful hot water.
You know how it is when a man starts
out in his own house to do things
without asking his wife.”
“Oh, yes; we know," echoed all the
others.
“In our stable attic.” the man con
tinued, ‘‘we had a lot of old stuff
stored. I’ve heard my wife say a dozen
times that we must look it over and
sell a good deal of it the next time we
moved To-day she was over to the
other house, and as I was kind of stand
ing round, not knowing where to take
hold next, along came a Junk man
through the alley. I hailed him and
took him up in the stable attic; there
I sold him an old table, an old high
chair, a battered old crib and a car
pet.. He gave me six dollars for the lot.
I fouiffl a box of old battered brass trays,
plaques and picture frames after he was
gone, and peddled those oft at a nickel
apiece to some neighborhood children
who were tagging me around all day.
“Of course, a man never really knows
what he has sold until his wife tells
him; and to-morrow I’m to chase all
day after that junk man. I’ve sold our
best parlor carpet, taken up when sum
mer came In. my wife’s own highly
treasured infant’s high chair and a
crib which was also her mother’s, and
a real mahogany table she had stored
away to have done over. She herself
had paid nine dollars for the old table,
and was glad to get it at that. Old ta
bles are getting scarce, she says.”
“How about the brass objects?” some
one asked.
“Oh, I've got to go around and buy
those back, too,” the man replied, sad
ly. “They were high-art beaten brass
nondescripts which my wife made her
self at the age of 13, and she says her
mother wouldn’t part with them for
anything.”

HUMAN KINDNESS
■ Cow Mar DepeiA Mask
Profcveaee tor
XUker.
On the strength of Information de
rived from the staff of the County Tech
nical college at Chelmsford, England, It
was affirmed the other day that the
i amount of milk which a cow yields may
l depend very much on her preference for
the persons with whom she has to deal,
says a London paper. Let her be milked
by a favorite milker, then both quan
tity and quality are all that can be de
sired. On the other hand, if man or
maid be in disfavor, the cow yields less
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 per
cent, of the solids, and many a time, it
would seem, the farmer is subjected to
vexatious prosecutions for no betteff
cause than that the cow does notlike the
milker. Was the reason aesthetic or
moral? If the former, then one could
understand a song once popular—
“Where are you going to. my pretty
maid?” “I’m going a-mllking, sir, she
said.* And when the gay Lothario wha
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, of
the Essex Technical laboratories, made
a rigorous experiment on the farm of
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 or
other of the milkers. Whereas the
favorite was honored with 18.46 pounds
of milk on one morning, his comrade on
the following day got only 15.17 pounds.

with all the animals. With cow No. 1 a
certain difference was shown, No. 2 was
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 harshness two
or three pounds were retained in the
udder, and it is precisely these last few
pounds to be drawn that are richest in
fat and solids! Hence tho largest sup
plies were also the best in quality. If
the milking were always by the saxte
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 is
clearly a bovine psychology; there be
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 REC02.D BIBLES.
Thtr Are Still In Demand, Bat Not
Sold to the Same Extent mm
Formerly.
"Do wa still sell the old-fashioned fam
ily Bible, with pages in it for the recoTd
of births, deaths and marriages? Oh,
yes,” said the bookseller, according to
a New York exchange, “but not so many
of them as we once did.
“There are more Bibles sold now, tak
! lug them all together, than ever before,
and the Bible is issued now in an almost
endless variety of forms and styles;
jut the demand for it in this particular
form is now, I should say, not more.than
one-third what it onoe was.
“Still, we keep these record Bibles to
day in a Qozen styles, ranging in priee
from five dollars to $20. The blank rec
ord pages, these often illuminated, are
bound in between the two Testaments.
“In some of these Bibles there Is a
blank presentation page upon which
may be written the name of the person
to whom the Bible is presented, with
the name of the giver; and in some of
them is contained a blank marriage cer
tificate; and in some there are bound in
with the pages for the record of births,
deaths and marriages, pages for the rec
ord of temperanoe pledges.
“These Bibles are more Uksly to be
bought nowadays by country people, and
it might be by people of the Herman race
and by Irish Protestants; all 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 is still sold, and the demand for it is
still considerable.”
