DOLLY'S DILEMMA
By STACY
Copyright. 19:0. Ly Associated Literary 1'rets
The train, with a despondent wail, disappeared down twin lines of polished steel, and the slim girl who had been the only passenger scheduled for that deserted spot watched its departure with a heavy heart. This seemed to sever the last tie binding her to the happy past. She gazed curiously a-oout her. The little hut of a station was brazenly unconscious of paint, and the sultry summer air was so still that the dull droning of a bee came plain to her from acrcs the daisy-cluttered fields. The new arrival was a slight Creature, dressed with exquisite taste, but with an expression in hor dark eyes that told of recent tragedy. A nomad breeze, springing into sudden life, teased at the wavy wisps of her irown hair. The girl, anxious and seemingly icurious. stared first up and then idown the dusty pike. At last the whirr of a rapidly approaching automobile came to her ears, and a great, yellow machine hurried around a distant bent, slowing suddenly as It came toward her. "Is this Dolly?" asked a girlish voice, and a radiant young person sprang from the machine. She advanced, both hands outstretched. Wonderingiy. the solitary passenger inventoried this apparition. "Why yes," she hesitated. "But" "Oh, I know you didn't expect me," came from the stranger. Slim fingers carelessly reattaching a breeze-blown curl to a mass as yellow as the hearts of the daisies in the adjoining fields. "I'm Molly, you know. I suppose you have heard of me?" Truthful politeness compelled the waiting one to ignore the question. toYes, I am Dolly." she evaded, hur--And So Thi Is Dolly." riedly.

"He smt It down last week, you know. We ex pect him by any train." The puzzled look again crept Into the pilgrim's eyes, but she brought forth a suit case from where the porter had placed It, and clinched Into the machine. The girl with the blue eyes and the red flecked cheeks entered after her, and, with a quick turn of the wheel, reversed the car and sped it back over the road down which It had come. I am sure you will like this place," she vociferated. Ail the comforts of the ci'.y, you know, with breathing space, and nice roomy quarters. Jack's thoroughtreds are here now. Do you ride?" .

Ucfore the girl could say a word she had closed the door softly behind her and wr;s gone. To marry Jack! The truth suddenly flashed home to the girl. She had been taken by Atome for some other Dolly, who was evidently unknown, but expected, and who was the fiancee of the much-talked-cf Jack. These people were not the Durhams. With a little ga?p of horror at the predicament she now found herself in, the girl sprang to the door and opened it with the intention of calling her hostess back and explaining. Too late! She was gone. An unusually tall, but well proportioned youth suddenly appeared at the end of the hall and swung toward her, bearing her suit case in his hand. The girl reddened as she caught her first glimpse of the face of the young giant. "You!" she ejaculated. For the first time the youth raised his eyes. -Why why " he said, "I'll be darned if It Isn't little Dolly Johnson." He carelessly flung down the burden ana grasped the hacd of the girl in a firm clasp. "I didn't even know old Jack knew you," he said. "Of course, I'm no end glad, but " he glanced at her from reproachful eyes "I think you should have told me." The girl laughed almost hyster ically. "Oh, you great, blonde giant. she cried holding convulsively to the hand of the youth, ""iou don't understand! You never did understand women. Tom. You never will!

SCIENCE AND mm
IT.. ORIGIN OF THE CCEAN TIDES Producing Agents Are Sun and Moon and Lav by V.'hich They Act Is That of Gravitation. The tide visits us practically twice a day, rising to a height that can be measured by so many i'e t. In many places ii comes only ouco, and is measured by inches. The tide producing agents are sun and moon, and the law by which they act 10 the law of gravitation. This law declares that there is a force of attraction between two bodies, or, to put it diueiontly, that every particle of matter iu the universe attracts every other particle, j the attraction depending 0:1 their r.' ; tual distances and their mass. Tr.l. ing the mouii's attraction first, it is asSlimed that the whole of the earth is covered by the ocean. The moon attracts the waters, and that layer of moon, and high tide will be there also. The observed tide is the effect of both lunar and solar pull. . Of the two the sun's pull is the weaker, because of his greater distance from the earth. At new moon the height of the tides is increased. Sv.n and moon then pull in the same direction. At full moon there is also an increased heiaht. Sun and moon then reinforce each other, though they are on opposite sides of the earth INVENTOR OF DIVING ARMOR Present Perfect Form of Dress Largely Due to Genius of William Hannis Taylor. Among pioneer inventors, to whom the diving dress in its present perfected form owes so much, was William Hannis Taylor, says Scientific American. The previous "hit or miss" attempts were superseded by the Taylor patent of June 20. 1S"8 (No. 57S). in which the essential feature was the valve allowing .the emission of consumed air without an influx of water. Previous to this time, there had beer the diving chests and the diving bell, of which the latter, introduced bj Smeaton in 1T7S, was the safest and most practical device for submarine exploration. The diving bell has been developed alongside of the diving dress, and is still in use. The general appearance of Taylor's diving armor was like that of a knirrht's suit of mail, except for a prominent bulge in the body piece. A large pipe coming down from the at the bu,ge Buppl!ed tne fresh air, cWf t,i ft , while a short pipe entered the body piece on the other side, and was provided with a valve which carired off First Diving Armor. the exhaust. Although diving armor has now reached its perfected state. this valve has never been materially improved upon. The accompanying illustration h reproduced from Mr Taylor 3 patent. Shifting of North Pole. Since the autumn of 1899 the slight roisuam uas now cumpieiea a diaZ1 of the Ve's wanderings for ten years. Up to the end of 1S93 the mean position had been circled around eight and one-half times In an irregular spiral course. The pole was very near Its middle place in 1900, and nearly touched the center again in 190C and 1907. Its oscillation reaching another maximum in 1909, it kept about 30 feet away trom its central place during the rest of the year. Oyster Shell Window Panes. On the west coast of India is found a species of oyster whose shell cor. sists of a p'ir of roughly circular plates, about vir. inches in diameter. These plates are thin and white.

HOLDER FOR SMALL CHANGE
Eliminstes Difficulty of Picking Up Silver Coins Krom Glass Cases, Counters, Etc. The dilltculty of picking up coins hoiu the top of glass cases, counters, etc.. l.as resulted in the invention of numerous articles to facilitate the collection of change. There are rubber mats and felt mats and hollowed glass trays galore, but one of the most pretentious of these devices is that designed by a Washington man and shown here. A metal or wooden folding pan, that normally is fastened in open position, is pivot-illy supported by a rod that arches over the top Holder for Change. of it and curves under it to the center of an extended base. There is room both above and below the pan to turn it and insert a hand. The change is laid on the tray and the customer holds his hand beneath it and tilts it, the coins thus being dumped off in a twikling. There is no clawing necessary, as when the money lies on a flat surface that is immovable. The tray is made to fold iu the center and can be closed when not in use. At the top of the support are clips adapted to hold notices or advertising cards. WELL BALANCED GRAND PIANO New Musical Instrument Which Comes From England Possesses Tone Purer Than Big Ones. In the effort to secure a compact grand piano, with all the volume and other merits of the larger instrument, The Balanced Grand Piano. there has been evolved in England the balanced grand, which is said to have all the points of merit of the large instrument without its bulk and its unwieldly shape, for it Is arranged so that one side is the duplicate of the other. This change in shape has re quired the scale being doubly overstrung, giving a tone of volume andquality which many musicians claim Is purer and has greater carrying power than the old full-sized instru ment. This is the very first piano or symmetrical shape and that opens either side, the top forming two lids,. hinged in the center so as to distribute the sound waves. Electrified Smoke. The smoke problem was the chief topic of discussion in the convention of the American Chtniical society, recently held at San Francisco. Leading scholars contributed a symposium on smelter smoke. Prof. E. G. Cottrell of the University of California has gained greater success so far than any chemist in the solution of the smoke evil. Cottrell's remedy Is an electrical precipitation of the Im purities in smoke by sulphuric acid, lead and zinc. Cottrell proposes to make the smoke which pours from the smelter chimneys of the country harmless by static electric discharge. Novel French Brake. The resistance of water to a paddle wheel is utilized In a novel French brake for motor cars. A bevel w heel is loosely mounted on the shaft between tho engine and the gear box and can be clutched to the shaft as desired. The bevel wheel meshes with a pinion having attached a fan, or paddle wheel in a small water tank. On using the brake the paddle is set in motion, and the resistance of the water exerts a braking elect that Is considerable at high speeds, decreasing with lower rates. NOTES OF SCIENCE AND INVENTION. Nearly one-fifth of the area of France Is forest land. A ton of Ice will cool about 2S.000 IKunds of water one degree.

PREVENT COW MILKING SELF Excellent Device, Cheap cf Construction and Easily Made, Is Shown in Illustration. An exchange recently printed an illustration of a device which it was claimed would prevent a cow from milking herself. : The thing is easily and cheaply made. It consists or but lengths of light rope and six pieces of round jht wood about eleven or twelve Prevents Self-Milking. Inches In length. Holes, a little larger than the diameter of the rope, are bored at each end of the sticks. ' The pieces are then threaded upon the rope tying a knot on each side of each stick to prevent it from slipping out of place. The sticks are so arranged that there will be three on each side of the cow's neck as indicated in the accompanying drawing. The collar is then adjusted and seldom fails to have the desired effect. PRACTICAL SCALE FOR BARN Problem of Weighing Cow's Milk Is Important One Illustration Shows Gnalin Type. In these days of tow testing, the problem of a practical and withal re liable scale for weighing each cow's milk Is an important one. The spring scales so very handy are, as we all know, not reliable in the long run, especially if exposed to damp air which rusts the spring, says Hoard's Dairyman. The Swedish Mejentidning illustrates the gnalin scale which con slsls (as shown in sketch) of two parts fastened on the wall. One is a scale arch which is so large that the weight may easily be read even in the often dim light of the stable. The other is a long balance, pivoted on a Gnalin- Scale. ball bearing, the long pointer being about 4 feet long and heavier at the end, while the short part of the bal ance is bent away from the wall and provided witn a chain for hanging the pail on. It is claimed to give good "atisf action. BUILDING GOOD DAIRY HOUSE Detailed Directions for Constructing Suitable Structure Over Spring on Hillside. (Hv J. G. WEATHERSON.) A fine dairy house may be built over a spring. Tou know about what size room will be required for your work. Build the spring house with (he end against the hillside and ar range It so the overflow stream from the spring will run along one side leaving just room enough to walk be tween the water and wall. Have space enough on the other side of the room for a work bench and shelves, also a walk. Arrange outside shelves on the sunny side for sunning and airing the milk things. If convenient make a cement floor. If not pave the floor and also the bottom and edges of the stream closely with large flat stones. Put boards over the stone floor to walk and stand on. Construct a drain pipe to carry the water for some distance after it leave the interior of the house so the ap proach will not be damp. Have no board foundations that will rot or mold. Everything about the dairy house must be clean and sweet. Have plenty of light on the side where your work bench Is. j If 3'ou have good ventilation a gasoline stove for heating water to wash the utensils would be practicable as it would make little heat. If you mu?:t use a coal or wood stove the room for it should be above the -spring house, not in It In placing the stones on the bed of the stream prop them carefully &r they will be perfectly flat so the pan. or crocks may be set upon them in the water. Rest for the Milk Maker. Whenever a cow has been so bred as to produce milk continuously when fairly well fed it is better for tho cow to feed her well and continue to milk her up to tho time of calving. Hut it must be remembered that such cows are phenomenal and do not represent the common run of good (not bad) dairy cows. Hence, as a rule, it is better to allow the average cow sir weeks' rest between the milking period and the freshening. Treat Animals Gently. It will mean a loss to the farmer to have the cow afraid of him. It is a loss every time she is frightened. To run a cow to pasture is like throwing money away. A cow in any way worried will not do her best. The cow that is made a pet of will make money for her owner. The milk of a frightened or abused cow Is poisonous. Dairying. 'lirying should be the best soiling method of farming, so litt Uty is sold in butter and cream.
MANAGEMENT OF DAIRY BULL
Practise cf Allowing Anlrr.s'. z Run With Herd Has Sericus Drawbacks One Method. On the majority of farms it is customary to allow the bull to run with the herd. This practise is open to serious objections. In the first place a bull running with the herd is un safe from the standpoint of human life. No bull is absolutely safe, be he ever so gentle. In fact, it is the gentle" bull that usually kills, be cause fewer precautions are taken with animals of this kind than with those that show an ugly disposition, writes John Michels, in Homestead Then there is the annovance and worry, especially for children and women, to have a b&'i run about. Hired men also complain about getting up the cows when there Is a bull with them and who knows how many have quit their job because of the bull. A very vital objection to running the bull with the cows Is that it im pairs the usefulness of the bull, due to excessive service. One service is sufficient and this can be had only when the bull Is kept away from the cows. Again, it Is difficult to tell when cows have conceived, which makes it Impossible to know when the cows are due to calve, a matter of no small Importance. A further serious objection to run ning a bull with the herd is that many a valuable bull is disposed of to the butcher because he has become un manageable with the herd. Most bulls are sold to the butcher before they have had a chance to- demonstrate their value. The question now, arises, if the bull Is not to run with the herd, how Is he to be managed? There are sev oral ways of doing this, but I wish to give here only one of them, one which I have used for a number of years and Bull Pn SOX SO' Brfding Pan Bull Pen. found satisfactory In all respects. This consists of an inclosure with stable and breeding pen as shown in the accompanying illustration. The bull run is 50 feet square, including the stable, and Is Inclosed by a solid board fence feet high. The boards are nailed onto 4 by 4's from the inside, which insures great stability. The breeding pen is also made solid by using one inch boards and is 62 feet high. The cow Is bred in this pen by tying her to the front end and then letting in the bull by opening the stable door. The latter closes the pen when opened as shown in the cut. The bull is fed through an opening in the stable Water is supplied in the same way, A board walk, about one foot wide and 212 feet high, is placed along the outside of the breeding pen. The at tendant stands on this walk and drives the bull back into the stable after the cow has been served: For convenience of taking the bull out of the inclosure a door is put into the front of the right-hand end of the breeding pen. While a bull can be managed in a pen such as Is here described without coming In contact with him, it Is bes to lead him out occasionally with stick snapped iato the ring of his nose. It Is always well to keep a buj accustomed to, being led with a stick Pasture for Calves. Calves require not only grazing, but plenty of shade and water. If the pasture does not have fresh watei and shelter against the burning ray of the sun, good growth and develop ment cannot be expected from th calves. Think twice before selling the good cow and then don't sell her. Care must be taken not to get the cream too sour for churning. Remember the cow likes regulai meal hours as well as you do. See that the dairy cow at all times has access to clear, fresh water. ; The best thing with which to clean a separator is a sman. sun Drusn. If the cow is to produce pure milk e must have pure food and water. One cannot properly clean mil palls without the use of boiling water The hand separator has been a step to greater dairy profits on many farm. The real butter-maker of our coun try Is the farm cow whose milk never goes to the creamery. , As the calf is so Is the cow. Poor care In calf hood means a poor cow when she comes to maturity. It's a mistake to Imagine that the cood cow is going to be profitable with haphazard, indifferent care. The Iowa state dairy law forbid iing milk from cows within tw eka of calving and five days after Many milkers object to brushing cow's sides and washing the udder be cause it requires ten minutes' time Such men have no business handling cows. Clean cows not only have the name of making good butter, they have the game as well; but you have got to be as neat as they are about every single bit of your work. In dairy herds, even where stables are darkened and the cattle kept in a part of the day, the loss in milk Ms resulting from the annoyance ed by flies is often quite matoIt is poor economy to keep from the cow the feed from which milk and butter-fat can be produced. When you cut down on the feed, you cut down on your profit. This Is the most trying time of the season for the dairy cow. She has been fighting flies and poor pasture. Help out the supply of feed If you want her to do her best. Milk containing less than twenty per cent, of butter-fat cannot be churned at a temperature below 50 '"-trees, but milk containing 35 per t. or more can be churned at lower nerature with good results.

ALCOHOL IS CAUSE OF EVIL Most Prominent Figure in Crime, Pau perism and Insanity Problem is Hygienic. The following Interesting study of the temperance problem In its close relation to hygiene, as seen from a medical point of view, has recently been added to the vast array of evi dence which science is accumulating against alcohol by Dr. F. D. Crotheis, superintendent of the Walnut Lodge Hospital, Hartford, Conn., and one of the foremost medical experts of the United States: "The so-called temperance move ment of today Is really an evolutionary struggle upward from tbe Ignorance and delusions of the past, and a call for a larger knowledge of the great laws and forces that govern the progress of the race. The study of In ebriety Is scientific, and should be confined to the facts and the laws which govern the growth and development of thl3 great evil. Every advance of scientific knowledga makes it clear, from a larger study of the causes, that many of the diseases which afflict the race are preventable. This Is con firmed In the diminishing mortality In diseases of the present day. An exact study of crime, pauperism, lnsanty and a great variety of evils of this class show that alcohol is the most prominent exciting and contributing cause. "This fact Is also more and mere evident In disease, accidents and osses, and It Is tne consciousness 01 1 this, felt In almost every home in the j and, that gives to the temperance movement a power above all sentiment or theory. Statistics show be yond question that over half a million persons are sick and dying yearly In this country, and that alcohol is roost intimately related as a prominent cause. Also, in many cases, the use of alcohol Is a symptom of conditions which existed before, and in all cases It contributes to make fatal and hurry on the degenerations that are present Inebriety Is an insanity, springing from states of exhaustion, poisoning, defective living, and alcohol Is a narcotic, covering up these conditions and Intensifying them. The Inebriate Is literally insane, because his conduct is suicidal to his own interests and artagonlzes every Impulse of life and healthy living. "Scientific study and experience show that the inebriate Is curable, not by emotional appeals or secret drugs. but by the use of accurate means and measures applied along the lines of exact laws of cause and effect The suppression of the saloon and educa tional measures are all helpful, but removing the causes farther back training parents and children to Hvt on higher planes of hygienic life in both conduct and thought, will prevent and stamp out this grat menace to civilization. 'The army of inebriates, with all the associated degenerations seen In crime and pauperism, are as truly grown and cultivated in our midst as weeds in the garden. Given certain conditions and surroundings, and all these degenerations will follow from them, with the same certainty that typhoid fever germs, scattered through drinking water, result In an epldem!c;of that disease. It is the ctress and strain of life, and Ignorant conduct that brings on fatigue and weakness, and resort to alcohol to cover It up. How to live right how to take care of the body and the mind. Is the highest kind of temperance culture, that will bring- a race of total abstainers, to whom alcohol can never have any fascination. Break up the great delusion of today that alcohol Is a stimulant and a tonic, and a new age will come In. The saloon is doomed to disappear, and alcohol Is going to be one of the great fuel and light producing forces of the world: Already Its power has been demonstrated, and It only awaits the Inventor to devise means for harnessing It Into the great productive forces of the world. "The temperance problem Is a hygienic one, and the diseased insane Inebriate Is curable by means and measures along lines of exact science. These facts are becoming more and more prominent, and with them the absolute certainty that Inebriety will be stamped out and many of the conditions of which crime and pauperism are only results will be removed. Doth local option and prohibition are terminals that are absolutely certain to be reached in the near future. What we want today Is a study of the causes and conditions which make inebriates In every community. Knowing these we can apply means for their removal.' Thi3 must be done by physicians and Fcientists, and it Is the great unknown field of preventive medicine, that Is to bo occupied in the very near future." FEWER DRUNKS IN ENGLAND Extra Tax and Hard Times Are Prov. Ing Great Boost to Temperance In Great Britain. Temperance advocates are working hard Just now In England driving home statistics to show that legislation can prevent drunkenness. A blue book just Issued shows that in the last 12 months there were 1C9.518 convictions from drunkenness, a drop of 18,285 on the year before. The decrease Is credited to the extra tax of 90 cents a gallon placed by Chancellor of Exchequer Lloyd-George on spirits in the budget that began to operate April 30 last ;ear. Liquor men promptly put up tho retail prices, and numbers of buyers either took to cheaper and milder lubricants or abstained altogether.
