— 88 THE SOUTHERN PLANTER. [January, impossible to apportion the quantities of them so as to know what quantity of new ingredients to add to make a strictly 8-5-5 mixture.—Ed. A POINT OF INTEREST. In a certain county of Arkansas a man named Walters was put on trial for stealing a watch. The evidence had been very conflicting, and, as the jury retired, the judge remarked, suavely, that if he could afford any assistance in the way of smoothing out possible difficulties he should be most happy to do so. Eleven of the jurors had filed out of the box, but the twelfth remained; and there was on his countenance an expression indicating great perplexi- ty. "Is there any question you'd like to ask me before you retire?" asked his Honor, tancy. observing the juror's hesi- The man's face brightened. "Yes, you Honor." he replied, eagerly. "I'd like to know, your Honor, whether the prisoner really stole the watch." Harper's Weekly. MERE CAUTION. A dentist in Rochester was visited by a native of Dutchess county to be treated for an ulcerated tooth. "That's a bad tooth," said the man of the forceps, "and I should advise you to spare yourself pain by taking gas. It will be only fifty cents more." And the dentist showed his machine to the doubtful person from Dutchess county, explaining its workings—how he would fall asleep for a minute or two and then awake with the tooth and the pain gone. At last the patientlet. consented and took out his wal- "Never mind paying now," said the dentist, patronizingly. "I wasn't sponded the thinking of paying," re- Dutchess county person.

Farm and Dairy Sizes of machines, ranging in separating capacity from 135 pounds to 1,350 pounds of milk per hour As nearly perfect as the DE LAVAL, machines have been before, they are now still further improved in practically every detail of construction and efficiency, and every feature reflects the past two years of experiment and test by the De Laval engineers and experts throughout the world. The principal changes are in greater simplicity of construction, ease of cleaning and replacement of parts; less cost of repairs when necessary; easier hand operation; more complete separation under hard conditions; greater capacity, and a material reduction of prices in proportion to capacity. The DE LAVAL was the original Cream Separator and for thirty years it has led in making every new separator invention and improvement. Every good feature is now bettered and retained and many new and novel ones added, rendering DE LAVAL superiority over imitating machines even greater in every way than ever before. A new 1908 DE LAVAL catalogue and any desired particulars are to be had for the asking. The De Laval Separator Co. Randolph & Canal Sts.

1908.] THE SOUTHERN PLANTER. TWO MENSAHIBS (LADIES) IN INDIA. "Traveller." It was after a great deal of thought and the persuasion of friends who had been there before us that my friend and I decided to venture on travelling through India. At first, it seemed to us too far from home and too hazardous, but we finally came to the conclusion that n professional traveller could miss seeing India, and so we sailed away from Hong Kong for that destination. The voyage of eleven days over the tropical sea to Ceylon was a dream of loveliness, with cloudless skies, and the water as calm as a lake. At night the Southern Cross blazed forth above us and our life on ship board was as gay as Paris in the season. , We awakened from this dream to find ourselves one morning on the beach at Tuticorim, Southern India, surrounded by an army of lightly-claa coolies, and, in the hands of a solemn looking Hindu, our travelling servant, whom we called Sam, because we could not pronounce his real name. The tram was waiting to bear us Northward and Sam got our traps together, rather humiliated that we had so little, for the native Indian judges the worth of his patron by the amount of visible impedimenta he carries. Travel in India is very hard. The heat and dust are almost unendurable, even in January, the so-called cold season. The distances are enormous, and the trains arrive and depart at the most unearthly hours. There are compartments reserved for ladies, with dressing room and servant's room attached. We got our meals at railway refreshment houses by wiring ahead for them. We often stopped at stations in the midst of the desert and found there the comforts of civilization—including ice. The country we first traversed was a favored portion of the Empire, with sufficient rainfall to produce abund antly. There were broad fields of cotton, grain cane and rice. The landscape was pleasing. The tram followed the highway, which was shaded by a double avenue of trees, alonj, which heavily laden camels and bullock carts plied to market. From the plain there arose many a fortressed crag, surrounded by jungles in which lurked the tiger, while around us were herds of camels, buffalo and spotted deer, troops of monkeys and brilliant tropical birds. We passed through many villages of mud huts where the people swarmed about the station, some selling, some begging, others idling, every Pagan of them a picture in his graceful draperies. Red is the predominant note in India. It seems to suit best under those burning skies, and as the reds swayed and blended in thecrowd it was gorgeous to look upon.
