IS NOT TO KNOW.
Time was when all things not
understood by man, and they
were legion, were considered
either miraculous or savoring of
the supernatural. Superstition
entered largely into the make-up
of man. Superstitution is the
step-child of ignorance and as
civilization and general enlight
enment gain ground superstition
dies out.- Many of the myster
ies of yesterday were the result
of natural laws which are well
understood today. ' Many things
incomprehensible today are yet
to be solved by future genera
tions, but there a?e mysteries
which will forever remain mys
teries to man. for he is impotent
o lift the veil.
Certain problems in the crea
tion of tb.3 universe are not to bt
solved by man and to ponder
them too continuously would lead
to insanity. For instance, the
human mind can conceive noth
ing without an end, and if an
end, necessarily a beginning; yet
there is space. Let him gaze in
to the heavens and he cannot
settle the matter of either a be
ginning or an end. To him this
apcears as something in con
tradiction to every law he knows.
Go forth on some crisp, cold
night and gaze into the illimitable
heavens and note the illumina
tion of myriads of sparkling dia
monds of lixht and reflect that
you are gazing upon worlds such
as our own, or suns, and you be
come conscious of several truths
the limitlessness of space, the
eternity of time, and the impo
tency of man. These worlds
are, always have been in all pro
bability, and it is likely they al
ways will be. Such is nature
thev could not cease to exist-
Matter is always matter and is
imperishable. The form may
change, but it still exists.
We know that a great force -
an inimitable power is at work.
In everything this is manifest. We
see the workings of this power
in mole hill and mountain, in
drops of dew and mighty ocean,
in beds of daisies and vast for
ests, in the life of minnows and
w hales, in tiniest insects and in
elephants; we realize the force
and power in man, but compre
hend it not. It is not given man
to know and he who claims
knowledge on these points is
either self-deluded or a willful
deceiver.
Many things that were yester
day inexplicable are clearly un
derstood today, but there is, and
always will be, enough of the
inccm r jhensible to confound the
greatest minds. The wise man
realizes what natural mystery he
may hope to solve, but the igno
rant knows not his limitations
and gropes along in darkness. To
comprehend the laws of the uni
verse would be divine. Man is
not to know.
Davenport's New Role.
Homer Davenport is appearing
in a new role as a cartoonist, one
that will strike a sympathetic
cord in the breast of every lover
of the horse in America, says an
exchange.
It is an anti-cruelty crusade in
the New York Evening Mail,
usually iu the Saturday edition.
That Mr. Davenport's cartoons
are doing excellent missionary
work is evidenced by the tact
that many thoughtless torturers
ofborsesbave already been con
verted into energic workers tor
abolition of check reins, docked
tails and cruel bits, and it is not
too much to say that at the
moment he is accomplishing
more for the education : of the
public of Greater New York in
anti-cruelty toward the norses
than all local humine agencies
combined.

Dairy Talk of Today.
The handling of milk the first few
hours after it has come from the cow
has a great influence on its quality and
the commercial value of the products
made from it. The care of milk seeml
a simple matter, but better methods ia
our dairies are of the greatest impor
tance to the success and reputation of
American dairying.
Testing of Dairy Cows.
Officially authenticated testing of dai
ry cows is becoming more and more
the leading feature of the work of
breeders. These tests are regarded by
the public as the true index of the
value and of the capacity of all breeds.
Practical dairymen are placing abso
lute reliance upon them as an invalua
ble aid In the selection of sires with
which certainly to improve the capaci
ty and profitable production of their
cows.
Dairy Products In Demand.
The greatest profit Is In selling milk
and cream to customers, the next in
having annual customers who will take
either cheese or butter as it is made.
Then follows the selling of cream to
the creamery and, lastly, butter to the
store trade as one can catch the mar
ket There seems to be a constantly
increasing demand for the products
of the dairy which keeps pace with the
increase of cows. There is a bright
prospect ahead for all who wish to en
gage in this great branch of agricul
ture. S. F. Emerson.
Wnere the Expense Comes In.
Professor W. J. Fraser of the Illinois
College of Agriculture says, "It is what
the farmer does not know about his
cows that hurts." If he knew how ex
pensive It is to keep a poor cow, he
would not do it Twenty-five good
cows will earn more net than a hun
dred moderately good cows and 'more
than 1,000 poor cows. The poor cows
will not pay their way. In one case the
cows will keep the farmer; in the other

Are a Sorry Lot.
"The queerest sight, you see in India
is the native born," said the sailor.
"The native born is the thinnest, soft
est, laziest, sallerest thing in the way
of a white man that was ever In
vented. .
"And he Is the proof that. England
; won't never colonize India. For the
' English cant live In India, you see.
The moist heat of that there land, with
Its nights of 110 degrees and its noons
of 130 or worse, takes the strength and
backbone out of an Englishman, gives
him liver trouble and makes a com
plete wreck of him.
"If he goes back home, he may re

THE ART OF TALKING.
j Things That Are Essential to a Good
' Conversationalist. .
To be 'a good conversationalist you
i must be spontaneous, buoyant, natural,
j sympathetic, and must have a spirit of
; good. will. You must feel a spirit of
helpfulness and must enter heart and
soul into things which Interest others.
You must get the attention of people
and hold it by interesting them, and
you can only interest them by a warm
sympathy a real, friendly sympathy.
If you are cold, distant and unsympa
thetic you cannot get their attention.
To be a good conversationalist you
must be broad, tolerant. A narrow,
stingy soul never talks well. A man
who is always violating your sense of
taste, of justice and of fairness never
interests you. You lock tight all the
approaches to your inner self, every
avenue is closed to him, and when they
are closed your magnetism and your
helpfulness are cut off, and the con
versation is perfunctory, mechanical
and without life or feeling.
You must bring your listeners close
to you, must open your heart wide and
exhibit a broad, free nature and an
open mind. You must be responsive,
so that a listener will throw wide open
every avenue of his nature and give
you free access to his heart of hearts.

Undiscovered Crime.
"Can you point out a man who at
the age of thirty has not committed
at one time in his life a crime that
would have sent him to tho peniten
tiary?" remarked a trusty at the peni
tentiary the other day. "I do. not be
lieve that there is a man living, ex
cluding, for the looks of the tiling, the
clergy, who has not done something
to bring him here had he received his
Just deserts. It is not always a great
crime that sends a man to the peni
tentiary. There are men In here for
stealing chickens or clover seed or
nothing at all. It is easy to get be
hind the walls. There are many men
on the outside who should be In here.
I am personally acquainted with a few
myself. But the difference between
these people and myself is that I have
been caught and they have not." Co
lumbus Dispatch.
Willie Also Discovers.
A teacher in charge of the second
primary grade at a Denver school was
telling the children about Columbus
one day not long ago. She told them
all about the home life of the discov
erer of America and all about his peo
ple. "His relatives," she said, "were wool
combers."
The next day Columbus was discuss
ed again. "By the way, children," said
the teacher, '"do you remember what
his relatives were?"
; There was a moment of profound
stillness. Then a little fellow in the
rear of the room raised his hand.
"You may tell us, Willie," said the
teacher.
"They wus barbers," said the boy.

Oranges.
This is the West Indian way of pre
paring oranges for the table: Peel the
oranges, taking off as much white skin
as possible; then slice them off all
round as you would an apple, regard
less of the sections. ThiB leaves the
seed, tough, stringy central part and
most of the inner skin together and is
a much less tedious process than re
moving the skin by sections. Use a
very sharp knife, so as to make clean
cuts and not crush the fruit.
Cold Calculation.
"You should do something to claim

"Jimmy's got a great scheme to get
