MILK AND HUMAN KINDNESS
Yke Yield of a Cow May Depead Mack
lipoa Her Ppefepenoo for
tko Milker.
On the strength of Information d^
rived from the staff of the County Tech
nical college at Chelmsford, England, it
was affirmed the other day that the
amount of milk which a cow yields may
depend very much on her preference foi
the persons with whom she has to dea..
says a London paper. Let her be milked
by a favorite milker, then both quan
tity and quality are all that can be d«e
sired. On the other hand, if man of
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 pei
cent, of the solids, and many a time, it >
would seem, the farmer Is subjected to
vexatious prosecutions for no better
cause thau that the cow does not like the
milker. Was the reason aesthetic or !
moral T If the former, then one could
understand a song once popular—
"Where are you going to, my pretty
maid?” “I’m going a-mllklng, 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, 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 whoss
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.
And this yield was uniform, but not
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 dra.wn 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 sswis
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 ii
habitually treated roughly. There it
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 RECORD BIBLES.
They Are Stilt in Demand, But Net
Meld ta the Same Extent aa
Formerly.
“Do wo 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 to
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
i endless variety of forms and styles;
i but the demand for it in this particular
i form is now, I should say, not more than
I one-third what it onoe was.
i “Still, we keep these record Bibles to
i in a dozen styles, ranging in pries
I I from five dollars to |20. The blank rec
1! ord pages, these often illuminated, ars
bound in oeiwwu iuo inv
I “in some of these Bibles there Is «
‘ 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 oi
1 them is contained a blank marriage ce*
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 likely to w
; bought nowadays by country people, and
t tt might be by people of the German rac«
t an<i by Irish Protestants; ail likely to bt
f substantial people of comfortably
: means; conservative people who cllnj
B still to time-honored customs,
f “So, while the old-time family record
i Bible, with pages for the record o
. births, deaths and marriage*, ha* gow
* somewhat out of fashion, and is not sol
to the extent to which it onc€’ f®
. it is still sold, and the demand for it ii

REMARKABLE WEAPON.
•tuwyipe Used by tbe Indian Sharp
shooters of Guiana Nicely
Constructed.
There are two kinds of blowpipes la
use among the Indians of Guiana. The
first, called the poocoona, Is made of
the oorah reed. This remarkable reed
is found in the Orinoco river only,
|nd then only at certain spots. The
oorah grows to a height of at least
30 feet, and the basal joint, of which
the blowpipe is made, is 14 or 15 feet
long, straight as an arrftw and without
a knot, says Longman’s Magazine.
The inside of tbe reed Is as smooth
as glass, hence the facility with which
the dart traverses it. Very little of
the reed is cut away, so that the pipe
is about 12 feet long, and is so strong
that when held horizontally there is not
the least bend In it.
The reed, having been carefully se
lected, cut and prepared, is inclosed
In a small, thin palm trunk, which Is
split open for the purpose, scraped
thin as a wafer, and then rejoined with
the reed in the center. This palm, for
length, straightness and lightness, is as
remarkable as the reed. The whole pipe,
when finished, never weighs more than
1 Vi or 1% pounds. Both the mouth, or
muzzle, and the breech are bell mouthed,
the bell pieces being fixed on.
There are front and back sights, the
latter formed of the curved teeth of the
dasyprocta acouchi, a species of rodent
somewhat larger in size than a
wild rabbit Two of the insicors of
this animal are fixed on the breech of
the pipe by means of wax. The teeth
being placed parallel to each other and
very close together, the sight is takeh
between them. Sometimes the fore
sight is made in the same way, but it
more often consists of the single sharp
tooth of a fish. It is placed about a
foot back from the muzzle, the back
Bight being affixed four feet along the
tube, so that it is a considerable dis
tance from the eye when aiming.
The missile used with this tube is
misnamed an arrow. It is really a
dart, scarcely larger than a large
darning needle, and with a point quite
as fine. The dart is made of the rib
of the coocooreete palm leaf, and is
so heavy that it will sink in water.
It Is about seven inches in length, not
thicker than a large needle, and the
usual number that an Indian carries
with him when shooting is from 350
to 500, ready poisoned, but not pre
pared with the necessary cotton plugs.
These darts are strung together
something like the reeds on which
soft cheeses are placed, and then rolled
on a stick and carried in a quiver,
points upmost, it being requisite to
protect them from every chance of
being broken or dulled. To protect
the hand when handling them the top
of the stick is furnished with a email,
wheel-like shield.
The fine points are given to the darts
by means of the teeth of the devilfish
(serra^almus pivava), and the cotton
i with which they are plugged before
use is found growing wild. It is
bound to the base of a dart with
thread made of silk grass; this thread,
with wax obtained from several trees,
being largely used also In making the
blowpipe.
GROWTH OF INSANITY.
—————
In the Large Cltlea It la Increasing
and Eiperta Demand a
Change.
What change can be made in city life
to stop its enormous production of in
sanity, yearly increasing?
Here is a question which is yet to be
solved, says the New York World. The
medical fraternity is at a loss for a gen
eral remedy; puzzled to find means of
overcoming the baneful effects of a
city’s activity on the general medical
condition. '
London produces 70 lunatics a week
and New York is almost as bad, and its
Increase is greater proporionately. Ex
perts say that If it were not for the fact
that nature steps in and generally re
fuses to grant children after the fourth
or fifth generation conditions would be
far worse than they are.
Tne OUUOOK ior me iiuure is noi
bright according to medical opinion, un
less the minds of the city people are bet
ter able within the next few generations
to adjust themselves to their progressive
complicated environment, unless bal
ancing interests and mental habits are
developed to overcome the unnatural
nervous tension of city life.
So complicated is the enviornment of
those who live in great towns, so many
and so varied are the calls upon the
self-control and upon their effort-mak
ing powers, that their mental machin
ery is apt to become more complex, its
parts require more construction and ad
justment, and the whole machine is
more apt to get out of gear and to suffer
derangement than in the more primi
tive and less emotional life of even half
a century ago. It is not overwork that
is the determining cause of the disturb
ance or mental equilibrium, but carking
care, worry and anxiety.
To the rich insanity is brought by in
dulgence in sensuous luxuries. To the
1 poor, who are at the mercy of every
economic crisis, whose financial circum
stances spell indifferent nutrition, over
, crowding and unmoral surroundings,
the condition of modern life bring de
: pression and despair. The natural re
’ suit 13 that they attempt to drown their
i sorrows in the flowing bowl. Alcohol is
the cause of one-fifth of the insanity in
i males and of more than half of that in
the weaker sex. _

is LACKING IN SYMPATHY.
Charge Made Against the New Wom
an—Considerations That Might
Lead Her to Admit It.
One of the charges that are
made against the ‘‘new woman” is
that she is less sympathetic than
is her sister who abides closely in
what is called “woman’s sphere,”
says the Portland Oregonian.
But in the light of the above ar
raignment of sympathy as the vice
that it not infrequently is, may
not the “new woman” confess
judgment upon this charge and
strengthen her case and her posi
tion by so doing? Woman has
been called a ministering angel,
but would not a -more practical
' name better befit the women of
the twentieth century? Will
not the services of women to the
world be greater and of more en
during effect if they cast aside un
reasonable sympathy as a worn
out garment that discloses rather
than conceals the moral naked
ness of those about whom it is
cast, and substitute therefor the
armor of persohal responsibility?
It has been said that there is a
woman behind the door of every
man’s success. “If there is,” says
the writer, “rest assured that she
isn’t a sympathetic woman whin
ing through the keyhole: ‘Give it
up if it’s hard,’ but a woman of
nerve and backbone who, like the
Spartan woman of old, is crying
out: ‘Come home with your
shield, or on it.’”
MOLLIFIED THE GRIZZLY.
Chief of Southern Utes Had an In*
terview with a Bear at Close
Quarters.
- \
“The most interesting story l
ever heard came from the lips of
old ‘Buckskin Charley,’ chief of
the southern Utes,” said Mr. J. P.
Altberger, of Philadelphia, to a
Washington Post reporter.
“As told by a white man the
narrative is tame, indeed, lacking
the dramatic action and eloquence
of the red warrior. It was about a
meeting with a big grizzly bear in
the mountains of Colorado
Charley was out looking for deer
He was equipped with an old-fash
ioned, single-barrel, muzzle-load
ing rifle, which put him at a terri
ble disadvantage, when he was
suddenly confronted by one of the
biggest specimens of the grizzly
tribe he ever saw.
“ ‘I jumped behind big tree very
quick,’ he said, ‘and Mr. Bear came
close, rearing up on his hind legs.
I was scared to shoot, only haw
ing one barrel. Then I com
menced to talk. I said: “Mr. Bear,
I am your friend- I come out after
deer. I hope you go way and so I
kill deer and leave big piece of
meat for you.” Then the bear
seemed to get friendly, and he
dropped on his legs to the ground,
much as to say he’d like a piece
of deer, and then he run off into
the mountains.' ”
METHOD IN COOKING EGGS.
Aunt Dinah Bings Two Verses ot
Hymn for Soft Boiled and
Three for Hard.
Crooks are often accused of
want of method, but the Aunt
Dinah in Howard Paul’s new egg
story is not open to any such re
proach, says.London Truth. In
variably when she put the eggs in
the saucepan she began singing
“Rock of Ages,” and sang through
two verses. “Aunt Dinah,” asked
Mr. Paul, “are there not three
verses in that hymn?” “Dar is,
massa, but I sings only two
when I wants ’em soft and three
when I wants ’em hard.”
His other egg story is good, too.
He was traveling on a Pennsyl
i vania railway, and when his
breakfast was brought the eggs
were underdone. “What time are
we making on this train?” he
asked the waiter. “A mile a min
ute, sir.” “Then boil the eggs
another mile and they’ll be quite
right.”
