PEOPLE OF THE DAY.
As the time when n Britisher will
Igain try to wrest from the United
States the America’s cup draws nigh
the interest in the affair increases. Can
Sir Thomas Lipton’s Shamrock outsail
the Columbia and take the cup away
from this country? Patriotic Ameri
C. OLIVER ISELIN.
cans are sure she camujt, and tve hope
the contest in September will prove
that judgment waits on patriotism. To
the enterprise and public spirit of C.
Oliver Iselin is largely due the fact
that we are to be represented by such
a splendid craft as the Columbia in the
coming race. Mr. Iselin Is the principal
figure in the syndicate which built the
American lioat and is known as the
managing owner. lie was also the
chief owner of the Defender, which so
fully defended the right to her name in
the race with the Valkyrie in 1895.
“The Sntre of White Hall.”
General Cassius M. Clay, ex-minister
to Itussia and known far and wide as
“The Sage of White Hall,” is almost
totally blind. To the Kentucky L. A.
W., which called upon him in a hotly,
he stated that his sight was so im
paired that lie could not distinguish
man from woman. Not only this, but
he is so feeble that when he left his
mansion and went out into his yard to
welcome the visitors ho was compelled
to lenn upon the arm of an attendant.
His fine old baronial mansion, now
falling into decay. In the upper story
of which bees have built their hives
and immense bats find a home, is in
vested with the same mystery as of
yore and as sedulously guarded as
when the vendetta threatened him.
The general was not slow in notifying
his visitors that they could Inspect his
grounds all they desired, but would
not be allowed to enter his castle. His
divorced child wife Dora is living with
her soldier husband at Pinkard, Wood
ford county, and the neighbors say
she never visits White Hall now.
Will Nnrse In the Philippines.
Miss Annie Early Wheeler, daughter
of General Joe Wheeler, whose heroic
services as a nurse in Cuba made her
almost as famous as her father, will
again take up the work of caring for
wounded American boys, this time in
the Philippines. At the close of the
MISS ANNIE EARLY WHEELER.
Cuban war Miss Wheeler began a
course of special training in St. Luke’s
hospital, New York, simply for love of
the work in which she had rendered
such service in Cuban hospitals. It
has been her ambition for mouths to
be sent to Manila as a nurse, and now
that ambition is to be realized, and in
the realization the sick and wounded
in the hospitals at Mauila will be more
than pleased.
How to Dras Stone With n Clinln.

the doubletree, then pass the chain
once around the stone, over the chain
at the doubletree and hook it behind.
It will never come off.
Iodide Treatment For Milk Fever.
The new cure for milk fever by the
injection into the udder of a solution
ef iodide of potash is claimed by veter
inarians and others to give very excel
lent results, and already it is becoming
recognized in certain quarters as one of
the most reliable remedies yet intro
duced. As already pointed out in these
columns, it consists in injecting into
the udder through the teats one dram
cf iodide of potassium mixed with one
quart of boiling water cooled down to 98
degrees F. before being used. Half a
pint of this is to be injected into each
quarter of the udder. The animal should
then be placed in a comfortable position
ou her chest and the udder gently rub
bed. Her position should be changed ev
ery two or three hours, and only one
injection is necessary. It should be
borne in mind that before the injection
is given the udder and teats should be
carefully washed with soap and water
to which a little carbolic acid has been
added.—Farmers’ Gazette, ,Jid.
THE HOUSEHOLD.
Points on Colors For Decorating — An
Easily Made Hall Seat—Hints
on Piemakinjr.
There are colors that are refreshing
and broadening, ethers that absorb
light and give a boxed np appearance
to a room, others that make a room
with a bleak northern exposnre or with
no exposure at all appear bright and
cheerful; some that make a room ap
pear warm, some that make it appear
cold.
If a ceiling is to be made higher,
leave it light, that it may appear to re
cede. Deopening tho color used on the
ceiling would make it seem lower, an
effect desirable if the room is small and
the ceiling very high. Various tones of
yellow are substitutes for sunlight.
The thermometer seems to fall 0
degrees when you walk into a blue
room. Yellow is an advancing color,
therefore a room fitted up in yellow
will appear smaller than it is. On the
other hand, blue of a certain shade in
troduced generously into a room will
give an idea of space. Red makes no
difference in regard to size. Green
makes very little.
If a bright, sunny room gets its light
from a space obtruded upon by a russet
colored or yellow painted house, or else
looks out upon a stretch of green grass,
it should be decorated in a color very
different from the shade chosen, if the
light shade comes from only an un
broken expanse of sky.
If olive or red brown be used in con
junction with mahogany furniture, the
result is very different from what it
would be if blue were used. Blue would
develop the tawny orange lurking in
the mahogany.
Green needs sunlight to develop the
yellow in it and make it seem cheerful.
Red brings out in a room whatever
bint of green lurks in the composition
of the other colors employed.
Oozy Hall Seat.
The hall seat can be made by the aid
of a few tools and a supply of wood.
Procure from a carpenter several lengths
MADE AT HOME.
of white pine wood, according to the
•size it is intended to make the seat,
and stain a dark olive green. The cost
of tho wood will be found to be quite
inconsiderable. The posts and crossbars,
of the same wood (11 pieces will be re
quired), are 3 inches square, and the
seat itself should be '2% inches in thick
ness. The arm pieces are sections of
heavy hoops, or for a small considera
tion the carpenter will bend the wood.
When the frame is jointed together, get
a length of clothesline and weave it in
and out at the back and in the ends of
the seat, as shown in the illustration.
The rope should then be stained to
match the woodwork. Exercise some
care in tightening and staining the
rope, for. if properly and neatly done,
it looks very pretty and artistic. The
hall seat is now completed, and it will
be admitted that as a cheup and hand
some article of furniture it would in
deed be hard to beat.
I'Refill Combination Rack.
The following plan for a hay and hog
rack is presented by nn Ohio Farmei
correspondent as the best he has seen.
COMBINED HAY AND HOG HACK.
Pig. 1 shows the bottom or foundation.
The sills (2 hy 8) are 14 feet long; the
two outside boards, over wheels, are 1
foot wide and 12 feet long. Crosspieces
(3 by C), 0 feet long.
Fig. 2 includes the ladder or upright,
3 by 4 stuff any length desired, ard
the end gate. Fig. 8 is the floor for the
bottom and may be made of any floor
stuff. Fig. 4 is the side for the rack,
the lengthwise pieces of 1 by 5 stnS
and the uprights 2 by 2. Trace chains
with hook on each end are used with
each end gate.
Butter Malting Elltr Years Ago.
Thomas llelme, Coslieu, Orange
county, N. Y., won lirst prize for but
ter at the American Institute fair in
1841) and, as required by law, filed his
method of making, giving us an idea
of first class dairying a half century
ago. His dairy consisted of 17 cows,
the product of the year being 2,414
pounds of butter, exclusive of that
used by the family of eight. The cows
came into profit in the spring and were
each fed per diem two quarts of grain
with their hay until turned out to
grass, when the pasture sufficed. The
milk was strained Into clean pans and
allowed to stand until “loppered,”
when milk and cream were churned
together, the churn filled half full, and
water, cold or warm, according to
weather, wus added. The churning
generally required two hours. When
the butter had “come,” cold water was
added, the butter taken out and wash
ed, salted and put in a cool place for
about eight hours, when it was work
ed again and left to stand until next
morning. It was then worked oace
more and packed away.

THE BUFF COCHIN.
& Popnlnr Bird Thnt Has Several Ex
cellent Qualities.
The four varieties of Cochins are
very popular with breeders. They are
second to the Brahmas in the meat
breeds, weighing but a pound lighter
than the Light Brahma. Old and ex
perienced breeders of Cochins are pro
nounced in praise of their qualities as
I profitable fowls. They are hardy, good
FULL FKATHKP.KI) BUFF COCHIN COCK,
winter layers of rich, brown, medium
sized eggs and fairly good table fowls.
The chicks grow well and develop rap
idly under proper care.
The buff variety is the most general
ly bred. Their color tone offers an at
traction to fanciers that is hard to re
sist. Both male and female are of a
rich, deep, clear buff, uniform in shade
throughout except the tail, which
should be a deeper buff or copperish
bronze; under color same as surface
color, but of lighter shade and should
extend to the skin. In breeding select
females as near as possible to the de
sired shade of buff, as free from dark
or white in wing and tail and of as
even a color os can be. To such fe
males mate a cock of deeper shade,
with some little black in wing aud tail
of deep buff of a coppery luster. This
mating will produce good results iu
cockerels and pullets. The heavy leg
and foot feathering, so characteristic
of the breed, should have constant
care and attention. While the feather
ing should be abundant all semblance
to vulture hock, or stiff feathering,
should be avoided.—Farmers’ Bulletin
No. 51, Agricultural Department.
Economy In Periling,
Every dollar saved In the food is an
addition to the profit, but economy
should never be practiced in using any
foods that induce production. As long
as an article is giving satisfaction- It
pays to use tt, and when the hens fall
off in laying it indicates that they re
quire something else. To practice econ
omy tile cdstnof the food must be con
sidered from' the standpoint of profit.
If corn lias given good results and the
hens cease to lay, then corn is no longer
cheap. It may no doubt be purchased
at less outlay than any other food that
can be used, but it will not be cheap,
because it is of no further use after the
hens 'reach a condition In which they
depiand a new article of diet. Lean
meat, fresh from the butcher, is an ex
pensive food when it cannot be con
veniently procured, yet if the hens de
maud it and the results are favorable
it is cheaper than corn. There is no
saving in buying grain because of its
cheapness when better foods are de
manded, and it is this point that the
poultryman should keep in view. lie
Should feed for eggs, no matter what
kind of food may be required.
