KNLiGhTENINQ BELINDA. Her Wise Brother on the Importance of a Right Start. “Isn't it funny.’’ said Belinda, practising at the piano, “you start playing a thing wrong and you play it all wrong?” “Why. not at all," said Belinda's wise brother; “that is true ot many things besides playing a piano. Did you never hear it said of a man who seemed to be making heavy weathei of It in some undertaking who seemed to bungle and take wrong steps and not to be sure of what he was doing, who was struggling along and trying hard but not to very good purpose— did you never hear it said of a man In such case that he got in wrong? “Why, certainly; everything depends on making a good, that is to say a correct start; on knowing your ground and being sure of yourself, on starting right. “That's one *ort of good start. When we say of a man that he had a good start in life we mean that he started with advantages, in favoring circumstances or with friendly surroundings, under conditions likely to promote his success; but when we say of s man that he made a good start we are speaking of what he did himself; we mean that he was aleft and keen, looking out for things, seeing that things were right and making sure; knowing the course, so that he could keep in the channel and go ahead without doubt or confusion. “The man who makes a good start can go ahead with confidence and cer tainty, without fear and consequently without danger of getting twisted and tangled up on the way. It’s Just the same as it Is with your practicing See?” Belinda didn’t say whether she did see or not; but her brother’s discourse having here apparently come to a full stop, her fingers fell heavily on the keys of the piano.—New York Sun.

SUCCESSFUL BUTTER MAKING

Victim of the Country Parlor. An Atchison womaa recently had an old-fashioned experience. She call ed on an old-fashioned couple who took her Into The Parlor. It was a cold day, and there hadn't been a fire In The Parlor In two years. But it was Tb» Parlor, and contained a mar-ble-topped table, an art square with a blue bird in each corner, and a sofa and one dozen fancy cushions. The host had a bad cold, and the hostess coughed all the time, and the guest was sneezing, but, nevertheless, they sit In The Parlor and experience all the delights of looking at the marbietopped centre table, the art square with a blue bird in each corner, and the sofa and the one dozen fancy cushions. The guest asked to be taken to the sitting room, where there was a fire. “No IneedI” said the hostess. “You are our company, and we always Honor our Company by seating them in The Parlor." The guest never learned what effect the cold room had on her host and hostess, for she caught a cold that settled on her lungs, and died the next week. And in her final delirium of fever all she talked about was marble-topped tables, art squares and blue birds and fancy sofa cushions.— Atchison Globe.

Depend* Upon W*ll Fed Cows. Perfect Cleanliness and Vigilance. One must have good cows, as some cows will not make good butter no difference how cared for. They must have good feed aaid feed that will not taste in the butter as some cows will always tell in the milk what they have been eating. Cleanliness in making in making and in utensils is very essential. Keep milk cool, if the cream separator is not used. If cool enough you will never have to skim sour milk, and therein lies one of the most essential elements of good butter. Never skim over 30 hours old if there does a little skim of cream come after, it is good for the pigs. Keep your cream jar from souring until full and if not enough cov/s to fill in three or four days skim deeper and then bring near the tire and sour immediately. Stir frequently while gathering cream. Some cows will make white butter all the year round, but at ,the same time it is good butter and for that reason use a very small amount of coloring matter, say three drops in a two gallon jar. [f your cream Is good it will take from 15 to 30 minute- to churn. Draw off the butter milk, with butter in churn, into bowl and salt. Use a medium cup of salt to five pounds of butter. Work evenly into but'er and set in a medium warm room. After It has stood two or three hours work all water and surplus salt out, mold and it is ready for the market. Do not let it get cold and set after salting, for that will spoil the grain, as you can not work satisfactory You have now a butter that will keep sweet for weeks. But if put with strong tiutter it will soon absorb the odor. Rancid butter is made from overripe cream and may taste when taken from the churn all right, but in a few hours it's the same old sour cf'vun—Ind Farmer.

Diplomacy. Jerome S. MoWade said of the management of children in a recent Sunday school address. ‘‘Diplomacy succeeds best with th* little ones. A lad of nine came all puffing and rosy in out of the cold the other night and said “’Pa. I’m tired. I’ve sawed enough wood for this evening, ain’t I? Tm awful tired.’ “ ‘Tired.’ cried the father, looking up from his paper with an air of surprise and disappointment. ’Why, I bet your mother a quarter you’d have the whole pile done before supper.’ “ ’Did you?’ shouted the boy. taking up his hat and mittens again. ” ‘Well, you'll win your money if the saw holds ouL Nobody ever bet on me and lost.’ “And he rushed back to his hard task again, his ey* flaming with en thusiasm.”—Philadelphia Bulletin.

rod which connects with a pump at the base. The creamery is fourteen by sixteen feet with a piazza of the same size in front. The former is clap-boarded to the belt, and shingled above. The tank, B, which occupies the second story of the tower, Is eight feet in diameter at the base and six feet high. Its actual capacity is 1,883 gallons. The ice-house, C, is furred up inside with studding, three by four inches, two feet apart, to which is nailed a lining of matched boards. The creamery, D, is thirteen and a half by fifteen feet Inside. At II are creamers, which are supplied with water through pipes leading from the tank through the ice-house, by means of which water is cooled. At G is a churn, which may be worked by power in the annex E or, if by hand, the annex may be omitted. At H is a butter molder, and J is the veranda. A structure like this will not only afford convenience for the care of milk and making butter, but furnish an ample supply of ice and water for general purposes. It should, if practicable, be set on ground so high that pipes leading from the tank will convey water to all parts of the dwelling house.

Filtering to Absorb Germs. In the past few years it has become quite a fad with dairymen, to draw the milk from the cow Into a pal! covered with a bat of absorbent cotton. The claim is made that the cotton retains the bacteria or germs that might otherwise reach the milk In the pail, but dairy teachers say that this statement is overdrawn. As a factor in securing absolutely clean milk, the cotton Is very valuable, providing It is renewed when It has been used but a short time, as nothing but very soluble "dirt” can pass through it, but while dry cotton will prevent germs from passing through it, wet cotton will not and as a germ arrester the wet cotton Is nearly valueless. Despite this fact, we consider its use a good thing and advise tha* it be adopted in all dairies. Squirrels’ Odd Diet. Squirrels do not entirely subsist on nuts, as most people suppose. They are large fruit eaters, and often work havoc in the orchards In the autumn. They are also not above stealing partridge egqs, and are therefor* nut much loved by sportsman.

TOKIO, April 23.—Th e diplomatic advisory council yesterday approved the attitude of the cabinet on the mandate question, after Viscount Uchida, the foreign minister, had given an exposition of the government’s viewpoint, according to newspaper reports.
