Milking the Cow.
“Milkmen have dLi'erent ways of

they feed each cow and begin milking
as soon as the cow begins to eat."
says a dairyman. “The milker hurries

be fed again to keep her in good hu

first and then feed Immediately, and
cows that are accustomed to this treat
ment generally give down their milk
cheerfully, for they know that milking
Is a prelude to the feeding. It all de
pends on habit and the way tbe cows
are treated, for a cow Is much smarter
than she looks and more grateful than
most persons would believe. So loug
as the cows know they are not going
to be struck or beaten they will neither
kick nor book. An experienced milk
man will never allow any loud talking
or excitement about hls barns, for the
quieter the cows are kept the greater
the quantity of milk and the easier the

The children of the desert were filled
with awe when first tbe silence of the
primeval solitude was brokeu by the
puffing of the steam engine. Down at
tbe other end of th? Cape to Cairo line
the simple Matabele, when first con
fronted by a locomotive, were certain
that the strange machine was worked
by the labor of an Indefinite number of
oxen, which they assumed were shut
up Inside; hence, when the engiue stop
ped, they gathered in curious crowds,
waiting to see tbe door open and the
oxen come out, nor could they for many
days lie persuaded that the power of
tbe locomotive could come from other
than the strength of the ox.

A Great Artist Enraged.
Alma-Tadema has told a story of the
fate of two unsuccessful pictures of
bls student days. One of them was re
turned unsold by the committee of the
Brussels exhibition lu 1859. Tbe sub
ject was a bouse on fire, with people
rescuing the victims. The artist's fel
low students were asked Into Alma-
Tadema’s studio and were Invited to
Jump through tbe canvas, the owner
of it leading the way by leaping bead
first through tbe oily flames.
Tbe other unsuccessful effort was a
large sized square picture that came
back ngalu and again to its creator's
easel until at last It was cut out of
its frame aud given to an old woman
to use as a table cover.
The. picture ^vas praised by at least
one person who appreciated its excel
lence. so Alma-Tadema used to de
clare, for the old woman was wont to
remark that it was much better than
those common oilcloth things that al
ways let tbe water through, as the pic
ture of Alma-Tadema's making was a
good thick one, with plenty of paint
on it.—Minneapolis Journal. .
Compos'd« Names.
"One of tbe differences between th«
east aud the northwest." said a Puget
sounder, "is the names of places, and
the Sklkomlsbes. the Snobomlshes. the
Snoqualmie«, the Wahklukums and the
lot of them give a man fuuny feelings,
and when he runs across Bucoda, on
the Northern Pacific railroad In Pierce
county. Wash., he doesn't know wheth
er it Is Chinook or Slwash or what.
Put it is none of them—like Kenova, in
West Virginia, which is near tbe junc
tion of Kentucky. Ohio and Virginia,
or Delmar, where Delaware aud Mary
land come together. Bucoda Is a com
posite name, and Its story is simple
enough. When the Northern Pacific
came In n town Bprang up, and It
must have n name. There were Indian
names In plenty, but something more
novel was wauted. so Messrs. Buckley.
Coulter and Davis, all Northern Pacific
officials, put their heads together first
and their names later, and the name
Bu-ce-da was evolved, with an ety
mology very apparent to nny one who
Is at all informed In terminology. Bu
coda it has remained, and It Is not half

Th« Supposed Life on Mare.
Not only do the observations we have
scanned lead us to the conclusion that
Mars at this moment Is Inhabited, but
they laud us at the further one that
these denizens are of an order whose
acquaintance was worth tbe making.
Whether we ever shall come to con
verse with them In any more instant
way Is a question upon which science
at present has no data to decide. More
Important to us is the fact that they
exist, made all the more interesting
by their precedence of us in tbe path
of evolution. Their presence certainly
ousts us from any unique or self cen
tered position in the solar system, but
so with the world did the Copernican
system tbe Ptolemaic, and tbe world
survived this deposing change. So
may man. To all who have a cosmo-
planetary breadth of view It cannot
but be pregnant to contemplate extra
mundane life aud to realize that we
have warrant for believing that such
life now iubabits the planet Mars.—
Professor Lowell in Century.
A Big 8nowfall.
