In “Chapters From My Diplomatic Life," which Andrew D. \Vhite, the -‘United States diplomatist, is contribut- :lnr,r to “The Century Illustrated Maga- zine,” there occurs an interesting renun- lscence regarding the working of the Ger- :man marriage laws:â€" “One morning a man came rushing in ~cxclaiming: ‘Mr. Minister, I am in the worst fix that any decent man was ever .iu. I want you to help me out of i.t;’ .and he then went on with a. bitter tir- radc against everybody and everything in 'the German Empire. "When his wrath had eficrvesced some- --what he stated his case as follows:â€" ’Last year while travelling through Ger- ‘many I fell in love with a young Ger- :.man lady, and after my return to Amer- .iea became engaged to her. I have now -('Ome for my bride. The wedding is fixed for next Thursday; our steamer pass- .ages are taken a day or two later, and I find that the authorities will not allow me to marry unless I present a multi- tude of papers such as I never dreamed -of! Some of them it will take months to get, and 1some I can _ never get. My intended bride is in distress; her family evidently distrust me; the wedding is postponed indefinitely; and my business partner is cabling me to -come back to America as soon as pos- sible. I am asked for a. baptismal cer- ‘iificatcâ€"a TaufSehcin. Now, so far as I know, I was never baptised. I am re- «quired to present a certificate showing the consent of my parents to my mar- riageâ€"I, a man thirty years old, and in .a large business of my own! I am asked to give bonds for the payment of my .debts in Germany. I owe no such debts; but I know no one who will give such a 'bond. _ I am notified that the banns must be published a Certain number of times before the wedding. What kind of a ccountry is this, anyhow‘?’ “IVs did the best we could. In an in- ‘tcrview with the Minister of Public "Norship I was able to secure a dispen- sation from the publishing of the harms; then a 'bond was drawn up, which I signed, and thus settled the question re- garding p05sible debts in Germany. As to the baptismal certificate, I ordered inscribed, on the largest possible sheet of .oflicial paper, the gentleman’s affidavit that in the State of Ohio where he was born no Taufschein, or baptismal certifi- rate, was required at the time of his‘ birth, and to this was affixed with plenty .of wax the largest seal of the Legation. ".l‘he form of the affidavit may 'be judged (peculiar, but it was thought best not to startle the authorities with the admis- sion that the man had not been baptised at all. They could easily believe that a State like Ohio, which some of them doubtless regarded as still in the back- woodsand mainly tenanted by the abor- igines, might have omitted in days gone 3by to require a Taufschein, “but that an unbaptised Christian should offer himself ifo be married in Germany would per _-haps have so paralyzed their powers of belief that permission for the marriagc overcame the difi’iculties, and though the. “wedding did not take place upon the ap- pointed day, and the return to America had to be deferred. the couple at last after marriage first before the public an- :thorities and then in church, were able ‘.‘to depart in peace.” The Blighting of His Fame.

When to Breed Heifers. l . With those who value size principally . in their cows, the theory and practice ' are not to breed until the heifer is 20 ,_ i: I or 24 months old. There is no doubt‘ that the heifer will make a largerl growth under ordinary treatment if bred at such age, but there is danger in 3 this method, in our estimation, of pros .' ‘ . 7.244%an moting a beefy tendency in the heifer.

It is true that the bad results of late Serbsgeum prevents Secure breeding in checking the milking ten- idency are not nearly as apparent in tho- roughbred dairy cattle as they arle in dualâ€"purpose or beef cattle.

What we are after 9137 in this matter of breeding dairy cattle ‘ is to constantly establish and enlarge the dairy individuality of our animals. We like to feel that all our methods of breeding, feeding and handling am doing their best to make of each heifer, if possible, a little better cow than he? ’ _ mother. That is the road of dairy prov - gress. t w Branching oil from it and lead- ing away from the great central pur‘ pose are other paths, such as “dual purpose,” the “color craze," and an un- economic demand for “size,” etc- A writer in The Jersey Bulletin of July 29, speaking .'_n this question, says: “We like them (the heifers) to drop their calves at two years of age. Would i prefer them to freshen at twenty l months than to go over two years. Hei- fers bred ever so early with us give from 28 to 2 lbs. per day. and improve generally until the third calf. To be sure, they will not get their full growth until they are four or five years old, and 'possibly may never be quite so large as if they dropped first calf at three years, but most of us know that size does not stand for everything in a Jersey cow.” Sufficient size, say, 900 to 1,000 pounds, can be attained more surelyby seeing to it that the heifer is kept growing and thrifty from the time she is born.

Prof. Farrington recommends the follow- ing :â€" The best way to overcome'this trou- ble is to carefully wash the cow’s taller and brush her legs, afterwards drying % both with a clean towel; then the lllllk- I ' er should wash his hands, thormgiily 3“ steam the pail into which he milk», and after throwing away the first s12eznns of milk drawn, milk the cow with dry hands into this clean rail. The milk should be protected as carefully as' possible from dust and then strained into the cans in which it is to be transported or in which it is set for cream rising. The strainer cloth, carrying cans and separator, if one is used, should be given an extra washing and scalding in order to destroy any of these germs which have been the cause of the ropy milk.
