As courage is pre-eminently the vir tue of men, so it is the virtue which most powerfully challenges the re spect md emulation of men. And It deserves this pre-eminence, for it is slsa the virtue which gives security to all the other virtues. —Lowell. . Give Bright Thoughts a Chance. Just try, by taking a few minutes a gay—if you cannot take more live upon the heights, to give heed to that noble and beautiful thing within you which is the real you, which wants to grow and develop. Give It a chance. Dwell v.-ith infinite things for a lit tle while every 24 hours.

ORIGIN OF DIFFERENT WORDS Common Slang Term "Mash" Is From Gypsy Word, "Mafada" Meaning "to Charm By the Eyes." "Pow-wow" comes from the North American Indians. The word boss comes from the low Dutch and means master. Kidnap comes from the napping or stealing of a kid, gipsy for child. Calaboose, a prison; picaroon, a pi rate; palaver, to talk, are all Span ish. "A rum chap" is simply a gipsy lad; it has no relation to the product of the still. Pal is a brother, and "conk," for nose, comes from the spouting foun tain, the concha of the Romans. Demijohn comes from the Arabic damaghan, itself taken from the Per sian glass making town of Demaghan. The common slang word "mash" is from a beautiful gipsy word, "ma fada," which means "to charm by the eyes." Why should a man be called a spoon? Why spoony when he is mak ing love? Simply because he is a "loeffel," which also means spoon. A tinker's dam has nothing to do with swearing. It is merely the dar or stoppage, made of flour and water, which which the tinker stops the gap he is mending until the tin or the pewter he is using had cooled. RIDDLES.

CUPIDITY Polish J«w« Had Really r'eat Fr*udu ■;■■ lent Scheme Which They Em- % . ployed for Year*. & Tbere was a certain engaging novel ty in the: swindle practiced \ success- I fully i: for many years by four Polish ! Jews, who have recently been- caught \by the Parisian police. They worked 'on the cupidity of their victims In ! view of the desire that most people 'cherish of getting something for noth ing.*' •■** ?■> ' ■:' .■ ■•■ /y^-'-^W- I The four swindlers first marked their man with care.. They then proached him with the alluring sugges tion that 'he should join them jin th« manufacture of banknotes by an elec trical process of their own invention. The thing was simplicity itself. All one had to do was to place • two two pound —the dupe's, of course — in a, square ■ box, :: and .■ a . sheet of ' blank paper between them. After a suitable interval for incubation —twenty-four hours as a —the box was solemnly opened in the presence of the; dupe, and "Hey, presto!" there were ';? not jtwo, but three banknotes. .. ■■■ To the dupe, of course, it appeared a royal road to riches, and he was eas ily ■: induced to contribute a couple \of 40-pound banknotes to his benefactors | bo as to have them subjected to the same clandestine process. Needless to say he saw neithernotes nor box nor Poles again. The whole trick was worked by a false bottom and clever sleight of hand. Sooner or later it was bound to happen. The four .swind j lers, made a litle mistake in physiog nomy or psychology, and fell upon a man who was both shrewd and honest, with the result that they are now in the hands of the police. Questioned by M. Guichard, they at first pretended to be entirely ignorant of French. . The magistrate had to re sort to a Machiavellian strategem. Having discovered two banknotes at the bottom of the magic box, he turn ed suddenly to the prisoners and de manded, "To whom do these belong?" "They're mine, sir," replied the quar tette with one voice and in excellent French. - Wicked Imagination. ] Proverbs says one of the six things that is an abomination to the Lord is "a heart that deviseth wicked imagina tions." It is also an abomination to everybody. And there is much of it going on. Some people seem to enjoy j the fancy that a certain person is liv ing a mean and deceitful life. No fact back of it; nothing but a dislike or, low suspicion. When a person can' harbor such Imaginings he himself is' guiltier than j the one he suspects. -, When a man's heart gets to breed ing suspicions, all " noble emotions are excluded. ; It would be ten times bet ter that he thought well of a man, even if he were mistaken than ■ to \ think / ill of him, even if he were not These wicked imaginations are mean things to have in a man's heart, even if there is some warrant for them, for they spoil the tenderest and swetest senti ments. No, no; a man wants a clean, open heart all the time; he wants the sunlit breezes to blow through and freshen it up and kill off the wild and poisonous vermin that get in there.

Rank Shown by Cheese. ; ; The English, the Germans and the Norwegians are great consumers of cheese, but the people of Switzerland surpass them all. • ; - The cheese of Zermatt is, so ha.rd that one Is obliged to scrape it or cut off chunks with a hatchet, and its use is considered ; most ;• important on all ceremonious occasions. „ - --* - The rank of a Swiss family is known by the age of its cheese, and the more affection or respect a guest i in spires the harder is the cheese which !s cut in X his honor. It is said that there are families In Switzerland whose cheeses date from the first French Revolution, and these ire served only at baptisms, weddings md after funerals. ; 3Nlst ' k% ;• Upon the .: birth of la|| new heir a sheese is" made that takes the name given him or her, and that particular cheese. is : never in any circumstances cut until the boy or girl grows up and is'married.

(By L. MORSE.) I have found it more profitable an< preferable to raise my cov/s rathe than buy them. A few years ago van . .living in Pennsylvania, I had scm« .experience along both lines. In twt' instances, circumstances necessitates my buying cows to replenisli a dab; herd. In all I bought nine cows, an at the time thought I was buying ver;, carefully. Out of the nine, only two proved t< be in any wise desirable, the remain der being from ordinary to pocr, air. not profitable enough to keep in th< herd, the most of them being dispose* 5 Handy Cow Stanchion. of at •« discount from the purchase price. In the meantime I had grow j ing up six heifers from the best cows In a large dairy herd of grade Jerseys, and out of a thoroughbred Jersey bull. These were bred to another registered Jersey bull of good individual merit and approved pedigree, and their most promising heifers raised to cowhood. what was the result? Almost without exception the cows thus raised were extra good "ones, giv ing milk testing high in butter fat, the ' average herd producing a pound of j butter from much less than twenty ' pounds of milk, while such cows as | I had been obliged to buy would not j make the same amount from less than i twenty-five pounds of milk. ! Tfie stanchion shown in the lllus : tration, which is self-explanatory, will Ibe found handy in any cow barn. The 1 lever attached to the end is used for opening and closing. HOLSTEIN COW IS SUPERIOR No Breed Excels In Great Constitu tional Vigor and In Fulfillment of All Requirements. No breed excels the Holsteln In great constitutional vigor. Holstein milk fulfills most completely all re quirements when .food for infants and invalids is under consideration. „, The suggestion that milk richest in fat is not the best for building up strength in babies seems to be proved Excellent Herd Leader. by the fact that human milk contains about three per cent, of fat. That fat In milk provides heat appears proba ble, when it is remembered that the camel, a more or less tropical animal, gives milk containing only about three per cent, of fat, while in' the milk of the dolphin whale, which inhabits the waters of the colfler regions, the fat percentage is not less than 43.8. The milk of the reindeer contains 17 per cent, of fat. The fat of Holstein milk is very finely divided into glob ules or particles, and is very thor oughly mixed with the milk or emul sified. Good Dairy Farmer. A good dairy farmer has been de- Bcribed as "a good general farmer plus the love of cows." This is a good definition, because the man wha does not have a fondness for cattle and ! who does not find some satisfaction In caring for them seldom turns out to be a very capable and prosperous! dairy fanner. Food for Milk. If a cow could talk and you would ask what she would have to eat she would answer, "Give me a juicy, suc culent food and I will give twice as much milk." The succulent food Is supplied In the summer by a good pasture and in the winter by silage. All farmers should have a silo. Buy' While Cheap. Experience the last twenty years proves that both grain and rough feed are cheaper in the fall than at any other time. So if you will hare to boy this winter, buy now. The Dairy Pasture. The dairy herd should be taken up , early in the fall, so as to allow the , last growth of grass to afford protec- , lion to the roots during the winter.
