FACE ‘XALUEiâ€"Q. Nature is. after all, the greatest pro-l moter on record. From time immenior-l lal she has been launching human stock, upon the maaket, putting upon it an ar- bitrziry valueâ€"a face valueâ€"which an-i swers to nothing but her mood of the; moment. and has as delightfully little. ‘relation to the real value as the most! daring trafficker on 'Change could sire. She bestows looks at randomâ€"3i face of angelic innocence is the strongl point. of the stamp of the family; anl air of grace crowns the child of the. street; while a young duke would make i an ideal grocer's boy. But nature may‘ float. what bogus shares she pleases. for there her responsibility ends. She does not share poor humanity's desire to "grasp at the skirts of happy chance," she dwells beyondearth's little limits of) luck and loss. and she does not carol a. hall‘penny for her reputation. Shel leaves to us the joys and sorrows con-l nected with the rise and fall of thei stock she has initiated. and the most; disastrous settling day that ever dawn- ' ed never cost her a moment's uneasi- itely suited for that purpose. .

Character has much to do' with determining the individu-: al's ultimate market value, which is generally found to be either a Inqu higher or much lower figure than he or she was originally rated at. Nature's favorites are not always fortunes favorâ€" ites; life is made up of chances, and the successful man is he who recognizes his housewife who rejoiced in find-l opportunity and takes it. Ugdness un- adorned may remain at a discount. but add fame or riches to the most ill«favor~ ed, and up goes his market price to a remium, till by and by he may find imself on fortune’s cap “ the topmost button!" A story is told of Abraham Lincoln, who on some public occas10n, when passing through a crowd, overs heard the comment upon himself, "\Vhy, .he’s a common-looking fellow!"

Tobegm at the beginning, a good appearance is set forth as a special advantage by ladies and gentlemen in search of domestic service. and it has an acknowledged val- ue behind the counter. A pretty brunâ€" ette can command a good salary, we are told, while a pretty blonde rates even higher. _ “ My face is my fortune,"i_procla_ims a common experience, even _a girl so happily endowed, be as stupid as an owl, or, to put it in a graceful Eastern . form. ” as silent as the moon," Down the corridors of time rings the voice of the preacher, warning us that: " favor is deceitful and beauty is vain," but history goes to prove that even Solo- mon himself did not act up to his con- victions. and it: would be difficult to show that the present generation has profited by his wisdom. In spite of all that nineteenth century cynics choose to say, the old. old folly-of love at first sight. survives, and lives are made or marred in consequence. A man rushes in as recklessly as ever to secure the mulrimoniul investment which happens to attract. him at any fancy price; he stakes everything he holds dearest upon the venture, and not unfrcquently awakcs one fine morning to find him- self worse than beggared. This. is not as a rule the precise w.iy in which wo- men tempt fortune. Though they of- ten adore “en masse" a well-favored actor or other prominent male. creature. they are individually little influenced by personal l‘ieauty in the choice of a husband. This readily explains itself: " The. love of the man is for the woman. “He says the fence between our lots is over on one side so. that there? is a. strip 01 his ground Six inches wide in‘ our yard." He said that, did he ?" ' "i‘es. lie thought you migh it." V “He has the impudence to assert that lhave been occupying six inches his ground, has be t” "That is what he said."

She is not swayed by the masculine necessity to " find con< tinual comfort in a face,” because she does not care so much to kiss as to be kissed. . ' A woman. go where she \vill, finds comeliness stand in her good stead. For instance. in the law courts, the_\vcakest cause with xi pretty )laintiff is never considered hopeless. usiicq herself, be- ing a woman. is naturally immaculate, but her exponents unfortunately belong to the wro sex. “'9, all remember Sir Roger de overley's beautiful widow. “that commanding creature. who was born for the. destruction of all who be- held her;" she vast her "bewitching eye " on the youthful Sheriff, and pre- frontispiece is a. marvel of color and de- scntly not only he. but " the whole court sign in the Italian style. The binding were prejudiced in hcr favor." This is always left to the Queen's own taste. brings us to the point of asking. by the way: What lnis become of the universal captivators of former times? \Vherearc our Helene and Cleopzitras? We have society beauties by the dozen. but those queens of beauty who held sway_over tens of tens of thousands of udrnirers. and who were at once the toast and the boast of their respective generations 1ppear to be as extinct as the dado.

Princess Henry of Battenberg’s governesses has a great aptitude for il- lumination. She is yearly commissmned to design and decorate borders for the Queen's’own private journal. and so very minutely and carefully is this done that she has nearly six months' work before her when she once commences a volume. Each page has a beautiful border, and, as far as possible, the sub- jccts chosen for the illumination are suggestive and suitable to the season of the year or the place in which Her Majesty is likely to be at the time.

This misapprehension comes from a. lack of understanding of right dairy principles which time will re- move. Undcr favorable conditions I have made the finest of cheese in Oc- Etober, and under unfavorable condi- gtious cheese not so good. In the first iinstance frosts held off late and feed Lremained sweet; and nutritious. The iskimmirng craze had not also turned the lheads of my patrons, and they were lable to furnish rich, pure milk. 1 I have even made very rich, buttery gcheese. where skimming, extremely light lnight skimming was done. The milk ;was not. set for rapid cream raisngi, l l loans and afterward stirred several ’times. Thus perhaps only a. third of the cream would be secured on skimming in the early morning, a few hours after setting; By quality of the cheese I am convinced that when this was mix- ed with the whole morning's milk, the common fluid contained three per cent. or over of butter-fat. This was virtu- ally full cream cheese, although the state full cream. brand oculd not be us- ed upon it. However, it is just ex- ceptional cases like this that have led to the belief that all fall night: skims are equal; to, summer full creams. Another drawback to producing first- lclnss cheese at this season is that in every dairy community there will al- ways he found some who will pasture their cows till snow flics. It. has been my experience that; the character and quality of feed always crops out either in the. manufacturing vat or later on in the. quality of the cured cheese. Bad feed “'lill- make bad milk, bad curd and bad cheese everytime. Frost-bitten grass, when eaten by the cows, proâ€" duces thin, poor niillk, which in turn will make. salvcy cliecsei No trick of manufacture can overcome this when due to such a cause, nor can it. produce mellow, rich cheese from milk cou- tziining less than three per cent. of butter-fat. , . I heartily wish that there was aful- her understanding and more mutual reâ€" Lal‘ions existing between nuinul‘acturer and milk-producer; It must come to that before we can have cheese that are uniformally good every day in the week. There isn’t. one farmer out of fifty but what has a granary for his wheat and oats, a bin for his potatoes. and a crib for his ccrn.~ Let me add that in a prominent dairy nciglil.)orliood of twcnty-four such farmch .1 found only one who had a dairy room for his mil-“kl \Vhar. was more, dairyng was their main dependence, and grain, po- tato and corn issue only side issues. The condition of; this neighborhood can be duplicated im scores of instances in our best dairy sections. It means that; dnirymcrn have a work to do, a work which they have not yet generally un- dertaken. The. lack of it. adds another to the. several causes that injure fall and winter milk quality. Now that the season has come when (lniryincn generally set the night’s milk indoors, it finds no particular abiding place. Per- haps on the pantry slielvcs in the same apartment ' with viotuals. on shelves in the kitchen, or on an imer vised rack in the woodshcd. In all of those places I have found crOcks of milk setting in. the fall of the year. At one place designated “the milk room,’ the. pans were ranged on abenoh in an apartment used for general stor- age. Two dead mice were floating in the cream, which I judged was not; an unusual occurrence by evidence of the vermin on all sides. At still other forms dairymcn kcpl‘. their night's milk in the delivery cans, standing out of doors and protected from the rain. Provided they aerated it thoroughly by stirring or other means this was much the. preâ€" ferable way, as after such treatment. I invariably found the. milk in prime condition for cheese-making. I cite those truthful instances to il- lustrate the disadvantages associated cheese manufacture labors under during the autumn months. And in spite of them all fall choose is expected to be better than that produced at any oth- er time of the year! A great deal of it is better, and it might all be better if just a few ob- stacles were removed from the path. First, do not skim below three per cent. of but tor fat. To do this the skim- mer musl leave thousands of pounds of whole milk untouched. Second, have a proper milk and dairy room just. as you have a proper granary. ou put in- verted tin pan-5 ovor the posts of the corn crib to keep out the mice.- For myself, however, I had rather eat meal ground from corn where a mousc had nibbed on the cob, than to out cheese made from milk in which his mouseship had been drowned.- Keep mice out of the dairy rootnl Also keep everything else out except the pure air of heaven. As long as milk is kept on the farm twleve hours or more before taken to the factory, proper means- must be provided to preserve it pure. Pure wholesome milk only can form tho llnsis of a first-class cheese quality. I think every cheese-maker should know just what each of his patrons_ is doing in the way of feed and milk care. Suggestions of improvement that he mav offer. that put into execution will furnish him with just the quality of milk that he wants, should be im- ruwliatelv acted upon by dairymen for ' The. cheese- gn-at improw~ five years ago. 7 lwir mutual interests. meat on What he was ‘ l l l i l l l l and there has also been great improveâ€" ment in the vocation during that. time.

The main object. however, should be to start. a policy that. will keep Ani- ericatn cheese invariably good for years to come. ” HOUsé‘uo o.“ ' NA. LAMPS AND C.L\"DLES’1‘ICKS.

Its wool is very coarse and is used for carpet manufacture.- Some of it is imported into this country, where it sells at a very low “rice. Its mutton, however, is uncxcellcd in quality, and is sold at the highest prices in the London markets, to which the fatted sheep, fed on roots on English being aerated before storing in delivery I farms very often are sent for sale. The. carcass is what we call small, weighing 17 or 18 pounds a quarter when finished at three years old. The young lambsare considered ioex- ccl all others in the. fine flavor and ten- derness of the meat. Thus, it is a small sheep, but yet it might. meet. a demand for light carcasses here, if it could be acclimated. The fleece is course, loose mud shaggy, and weighs not: far from four pounds either way for the ewes, and six to sevâ€" en for rains. The face and legs are black or mottled and covered with smooth hair, quite free from wooli. The nose is prominent and arched,but not: so much as the.

The rams’ horns are large and set low,_rescnibl.ing those of the Merino, making one or two spirals, as the age may be. . The ewcs' horns are small, sliort,thin flattencd, and not spiral, but; only half bent- forwards and downwards. The. back is broad aid the way from the shoulder to the rump, and the tail is naturally short and is never docked. It is not. uncommon for the. tails to be free of wool, or, as it is termed lby1 the shepherds, \Vllllqu‘ldded.
