Oil the second day of the Columbian

branch of a big establishment in Paris,
and asked a clerk to show her some of
ihc latest bonnets. The customer was
about 30 years of age, tall and with
strikingly handsome face, allhough
her exprevaioii was rallier cold and
harsh. She was expensively dressed,
and wore a great deal of jewelry. She
showed very critical taste in judging
the bonnets, aud the clerk had to bring
out a great many before she was satis-
fied. She dually selected one that
jost *35, and asked to have some
•light alterations made in it. Usually
(lie clork would have asked for a de-
posit from a stranger when the bonnet
had So be altered, but this woman was
so very haughty aad aristocratic that
die clork feared to offend her, ami
promised to have the honuot changed
and sent to her residence.
“I will call for It iu an honr,” said
'be customer icily, pulling her card
upon the c .nnter, and swept out of
(lie store with magnificent airs.
The card read: “Mrs. UeWitt Alex*
ander, Hotel Plaza.”
Exactly nn honr later a cab drove
up to lhe door. A sinart-iooking
coachman in livery sat on tho boxi
with his eyes fixed upon his horse's
bead., Tbe boy who attended Hie door
saw a woman l&an out of the window
»f the cab door and beckon to him.
He nut out and taw fbat it was tin
■roman who had been at the store
shortly before.
“I iiave called for Mra. Alexander's
bonnet,” aim said. “By tin way,”
•lie added, opening her purse, “you
might bring out the change for a hun-
dred dollar hill at Hie same time.”
The boy rusiied back, bunted up the
and delivered ihtL, •«*a*s«ge,

this magnificent customer, tbe clerk
hurriedly pm the bonnet iu a box,
wrapped it neatly, secured *65 from
the cashier, and gavo tliem to tbe boy
with instructions to be quick. The
latter rushed out on to the street and
ibrust box and money in throngli tbe
window. No soonor had the woman
socured them than she pulled down
tbe shade. As though this was a sig-
nal, the hitherto motionless coachman
brought his whip down cruelly on the
horse's back, aud the animal dashed
off at great speed. TIms boy stood
duintounded for some moments, and
by the time he had recovered his pres-
ence of mind and had rushed after the
carriage the latter was several blocks
sway aad lost amid the crush of sunn
iar vehicles. Swell stores don’t com-
plain to the police about small swin-
dies, and after a fruitless investiga-
tion through a private detectivt^
sgency tbe manager of this one ac-
cepted the loss philosophically and
uid no more about it. She never saw
the woman again aud probably never
will. The delertire who was em-
ployed to hunt for her told the repor-
ter of some otlisr novel instances with
which'be had become acquainted.
“Women are by all odds tho nerv-
iest and most original swindlers 1
have met,” ho said, “and I think si1

“The child thoughtlessly left the

never lived there. I hunted

For milch cow«, according to Pro-
festor Julius Kuiiu, of Germany, it is
advisable first of all to deterMo* the
quantity of uutrienls which represent
the minimum require'mcnls per 1,00(5
pounds live weight of the animals;
that is, the quantity which covers iha
needs of the cows which aro, ’dry or
nearly dry, ami which while produc-
ing little or iio milk aro usually more
or less advanced with calf. This
minimum amount may he designated
as the hassl ration. It will naturally
bo more liberal for breeds of high
productive capacity and those which
keep up their milk yield well in Hie
latter part of the lactation period aud
only go dry a short time, than for
llioso of inferior milking qualities,'
Foi"the latter the basal ration need
uot contain more than from 1.5 to 1.7
pounds of digestablo actual albumi-
noids per 1,000 panada live weight,
while the former up to 1,8 pimndv
and with breeds of exceptionally high
capacity even more will he needed.
The same coutiderallotia will enter
into account in determining the
amounts of fat and non-uitrogonona
substances for the basal ration,
Amounts ranging from Hie ini';.
