Even when they become Christians their acuteness, which Bhows itself by adhearing to the letter rather tban to spirit, often amnses the white mission ary. An English missionary relates, in bis "Nine Years at the Gold Coast," that one Sunday he drew his Bible class to St. I'anl'B exhortation in Ephesians, husbands respecting the treatment of their wives. "But, sir," said a negro, who thought the Apostle too gallant, A Mandlngo woman will not think that her husband loves her unlera he fiogs her now and then." Another mis sionary remonstrated with a Christian negro, for whipping his wife. "Do not I read," retorted the negro, "that 'whom the Lord, loveth he chasteneth?' Do I not love my wife?" Damp articles of clothing, particu larly wet shoes and stockings, are prob ably among the best friends that doctors and druggists ever had. A common cause of taking cold Is the laying aside of warm, especially of tlannel under clothing, heavy cloth overcoats, etc., too early In the spring. Even after one has been careless enough to run the risk of taking cold, he can often escape the ill effects of bis rashness by removing all uamp clothes as quickly as possible, soaking the feet for ten minutes in hot mustard water, applying a large mus tard plaster to his back, and covering up well with blankets in a warm room, so as to produce free perspiration. The flow of perspiration from the skin, un der such circumstances, is much pro moted by drinking one or two cupB of hot tea, for example, chamomile orbon t, and such home remedies, if thoroughly, and, above ail, promptly applied, will often prevent a serious 111- 1 atu y, Will give Leave orders U.

The country through which the line passes is the best in south-west ern Minnesota, is practically all under cultivation and thickly settled by well to-do farmers who have been going fif teen and twenty miles to market.

We are satisfied that a great deal of the dissatisfaction with dairying among the average farmer is dne to the fact that they do not feed their cows up to their full capacity. The average Iowa farmer has usually a number of cows in the dairy that are deadbeat boarders, and under present circumstances the best way to deal with them IB to feed them all about all they will eat, getting them up to a full feed gradually, of coutse. Some of these cows will not give good returns at the pail. These are the ones to get rid of and by feeding them liber ally and full and milking them all the while, you will have them fit for tbe market by the time they go dry, then sell them. This method of full feeding IB pretty near AB good AB the iJabcock test and a good deal easier applied. The market will now take all fat cows offered at good prices, and with corn and hay and corn stover at present prices there is no excuse, Whatever, for running a cow at half her capacity. Put her on her full capacity and whether she gives the return in milk or pounds of gain, you are the gainer.—Wallace's Farmer. Bovine Xuberouioaia. The Ohio experiment station has made special study of bovine tuber culosis and states that the preMnt status of knowledge concerning tbe disease may be summarized as follows: 1. The disease IB caused by tbe growth within the animal tissues of a vegetable organism, Bacillus tuber culosis. 2. The bacterium of bovine tuber culosis has not been specifically differ entiated from that producing tuber culosis In the human subject. 3. Tuberculosis is produced in the lower animalB by inoculation with tu berculosis material from human sub jects. 4. Tuberculosis has been produced In man by inoculation with the tuber culosis material from cattle. 5. The development of tuberculosis In human subjects has followed in BO many caBes upon the use of the meat or milk of tuberculosis cattle that there is no room to doubt that the disease is transmitted from cattle to man in this manner. 6. That tuberculosis is a germ dis ease, caused as surely by contagion or Infection as are smallpox and measles, is confirmed not only by the innumer able cases in which it has spread through herdB from Bingle Infected ani mals, but also by the fact that many herds of cattle remain exempt from It, and this fact demonstrate* the possi bility of entire eradication of the dis use. 7. In view of the experience of other states, It would seem that the rational method of extirpating bovine tuber culosis lies not in the wholesale and immediate testing of all tbe cattle of the state and the slaughter of all re maining animals, but In such municipal action as will control the sale of both silk and meat wlthlft moniMpal Unlit Water and Buttermilk, Very few buttermakers and fewer consumers are aware that much butter is on the market which has been churned and worked without the use of water to wash out the buttermilk.

During tbe oivil war in what was then a pretty village of Michigan and has since become a oity without loaing any of its beauty lived a strapping six footer who looked aB hard as nails, dressed well, talked smoothly and was set ap like a soldier. He had no meana of support visible to the naked eye iu tbe village whioh he called home, but he wonld make occasional trips from which he returned with plenty of money and a fund of interesting talk •boot some seotion of the north. Tie people thought him a mystery, bnt he Was a pleasant one, and ourloslty never went further than to ask ingenious ques tions that were just as ingeniously par ried. After hiB harvest was at an end the mystery explained himself without reserve, and no one expressed eerioua disapproval of tbe way in whioh his witahad won him his money. "It waa a simple case of diamond cut diamond," he laughed. "I've been tak ing fleeces from the fellow that vtent oat to shear.

In either case it wonld usually come to some kind of a proposi tion from the broker. Then the other fallows wonld guy me. Intimate that I was a bluffer and wonder how I was to get out of the thing without* clear funk. "Here's when my fine work came in. I'd demand a retainer, and I'd put it high enough just to make the broker think that I was trying to escape him. If he wonld pay me a ipeoiiled sum down, I wonld agree to appear at the recruiting offloe the next day and offer my service* but I gave notice that I assumed no ohanoea if-they would not have me, the broker mnst stand the loss. The idea of my being rejected al ways raised a langh and only tended to oonflrm the broker in the belief that I Was trying to enape him. When the dootor turned me down. I went into the dump* became nervously timid, aroused the sympathy of those with whom I had beoome acquainted and snapped an or der to the disgrantled broker to keep olear away from me. "Tha best haul I made waa In Pitts burg, A ooal baron there who oould not well enlist and who had not been draft ed wanted a representative in the army who would make a name honorable to that of the prlnoipal. He was after a big, handsome, intelligent fellow of Whom he oould be proud and put the whole matter into the hands of a shrewd little broker. I managed to moot him at tbe Monongahela House, and I work ed around to the main subjeot in the manner I have described, but I could see that he was sharp and did not like to run any ohanoes. "While he went to dinner, after whioh we were to resume our talk, I went out and had a short conferenoe with a huge truckman. When I again met the broker, that truokman insisted on bothering us and, after showing a proper amount of patience, I threw him half way across the office, and he went limping out, while all observers grew wide eyed in their wonder. I did not exert enough strength to throw a half grown boy five feet, but the truckman knew his business, and was paid f30 for attending to It. "That apparently oool courage and gigantic strength removed all doubt from the mind of the broker. I was the man be wanted, and he wanted me badly. I stuok out till I got *8,000 as a 'retainer,' and then was rejeoted. I felt like giving the money back when tbe millionaire came around to condole with me and tell how disappoiutod he was iu not having me for a substitute, bnt I didn't.
