Without looking at the little clock on the mantel, he knew it was about 1:30 a. m. Force of habit always led to his awaking at this hour to give Baby his bottle, for, when Baby came, Jenkins had agreed to take the night shift, the chief duty of which w'aa to give the young man his milk and peppermint. Jenkins unrolled his bundle, disclosing a round, red face over which two chubby fists were kneading. Then he leaned forward and held the bottle over the fire. Baby opened his eyes and began sniffling uneasily. This uneasiness was an infallible sign of trouble, for Jenkins had become wise in the w'ays of babies. lie placed the warm nipple in Babys mouth and leaned back contentedly, taking a cigar from his pocket, as was his wont, and prepared to pass the time of Babys feasting comfort. But Baby would not feast, lie refused the bottle absolutely, and began wriggling and twisting in a way that could mean but one thing wind on the stomach, or just plain baby colic. So Jenkins laid his cigar by and calmly more alarming symptoms. awaited Baby ceased his sniffling, puckered his red face frightfully, closed his eyes and emitted one long, startling wail. It was the first light thunder roll that precedes the storm. Jenkins sighed resignedly, in anticipation of the impending ordeal. For a little while the responsibility of a father weighed heavily upon hint, and he half wished he were back in This thing of doing right by posteiity is not what it is cracked up to be, thought he, as he teetered the fretting baby on his knee. While Baby quieted to take a long breath for the next wail, Jenkins MAKING "No, dont vou do It its bad business. The man came back a step, and for the first time Jenkins experienced a queer sensation in the calves of his legs. Brandy will knock the pains out of a billy goat, the man went on, but it takes something worse than a billy goat to knock the brandy. Then, what's the matter with a little soothing syrup? Jenkins asked, since the stranger was inclined to argue the matter. Just as bad full of opiates and dope and truck. But, see here, stranger, if you were the father of a I am.

Yes, I spose so, but I may have to wake No, you better not, she might object to my medicine. Here, let me have the youngster, and you rustle up the catnip and yam. Jenkins obediently delivered the baby and started for the pantry. Oh, he heard the you little goosey-toodle- ! man console, you've got the tummy-ache- , but well soon fix you up nice and chipper! Shortly, Jenkins came in with the catnip and yam-rooBaby wa3 returned to him, and the stranger bent to his task with the alertness of one who knows. He soon had a pot of water boiling and the catnip tea steeping. To this he added a portion of the yam-root- , finely grated, poured out the steaming liquid, dipped a spoonful and gave it to Baby. For a little time the sick infant walled as if in greater agony. Jenkins looked dubiously at the masked man. Its all right, he was assured. That medicine will stir up trouble for a minute down in his gubertorials, but It will soon straighten im out. Baby was given a second dose, and was eased perceptibly. After the third spoonful his wails ceased, and with the fourth he was pronounced cured. Hes bumkum now, and will take his bottle like a dandy, the masked man declared, with the air of one who has completed his task and feels well by it. He hesitated while gathering his paraphernalia from the stand.

What the Massachusetts Agricultural College Is Doing for Dairy Interests. The new dairy barn at the Massachusetts agricultural college is equipped with a stable and milk house designed with a view of p.oducing milk as nearly pure as it is possible to make it under ordinary stable conditions. The stable shown in the photo is equipped with steel stanchions, which are fixed in concrete, so that the entire stable can be cleaned with water daily. The ceiling is plastered and painted until there are no chances for dirt to collect. Ventilation is piovided by the King system, combined with window open- - N ing arrangements, and a steam heating plant Is also Included to keep the temperature even in severe weather. This barn is far too expensive to be duplicated under average farm conditions, and is designated to test the milk propossibilities of duction, and is not presented as a model for farm dailies. The milk house is separated from the stable by an ante-roothoroughly ventilated, through which the milk-fci- s pass in taking milk from the stable to the milk room. Through this ante-roothey pass into a straining room, where the milk is poured into a tank and runs through a strainer and a small opening in the wall into the separator room adjoining. There is no direct connection between this receiving room and the separator, so that the latter is not exposed to the dirt of the stable. A refrigerator is attached, into which bottled milk can be placed as soon as prepaied and kept at a low temperature until delivered. A butter-makinroom is also provided, equipped with all modern machinery, but the principal object of the building is the preparation of pure, whole milk. There are three points about this dairy that are worthy of note by pracUse only good salt in the salting of tical farmers: First, that the milk house be separate from the stable; butter.

And that is the reason the creamery man always gets more or less sour milk, so be sure and take care of your milk cans.

In consequence, the Whigs cut off their queues and only men servants were allowed hair powder. It was finally 80 unremunerative that the tax was removed. Duty.

That was the official comment made by Lord Lichfield, postmaster general of England, on Rowland Hills proposal to establish a uniform postal rate of a penny throughout the United Kingdom. And that was at a time within the memory of some men still living, only 71 years ago. Despite Lord Lichfield's condemnation of it, the scheme was within three years an established fact. And men who in their childhood might have seen and read the first letters ever sent from one part of England to another for a penny may this year see and read letters sent around the globe and practically to every part of the English-speakinworld for the same small fee. The achievement will be not only a most impressive rebuke of and timorous adminthe short-sighteistrator of two generations ago, but also an equally impressive demonstration of the constantly accelerating progress of civilization.
