No Task for Tyros.

One of the men at the front has told us how he tried to milk a cow —without the expected result. This is not an easy task for an tinpracticed hand. Leslie Stephen was once on a long tramp in Switzerland, accompanied by his friend, Doctor Morgan. T?ey missed their way and found themselves, parched and hungry, far from any dwelling place. At length they came across a cow, from whom they determined to extract some nourishment, but after trying their best for an hour, each holding on to her horns in turn, they had ’to abandon all hopes of milk. This, remarks Doctor Morgan, is “one of the very few occasions on which I ever saw Stephen fairly thwarted."
