Among the many devices for
keeping butter In ii manner that
will preserve the fresh rosy flavor
of new, with all its sweetness, liz
the following, which il said to be-
entirely successful: To three gal
Ions Of brine airong enough to hold
an egg, add quarter Of pound
Of nice white sugar and one table
spoonful Of saltpetre. boil the
brine, ind when it Is cold strain
carefully. Make your butter int3
rolls, and wrap each separately i'm
a clean white muslin cloth, tying:
up with a string. Pack large
jar full, weight the butter down !
and pour over the brine until als
Is submerged. This will keep
really good butter perfectly sweet
and fresh for whole year. Be-
careful TO not put upon ice butter
that you wish to keep for any
length OF time. Insummer, when
the heat will not admit Of butter
being made into rolls, pack closely
In small jars, and, using the sames
brine, allow it to cover the butter
to the depth Of at least four inches
This excludes the air and answers
very nearly as well as the frss
method suggested.

Alady was recently heard to say, with

ness on Saturday was David j Twohey,
who was associated with the Miles O'Rcil-
Icy when the latter was writing book
on immortality 10 New lark. He had
heard so many reports Of lcrsons being
robbed IN panel houses. incasling friends
Of his own, that he resolved - make a
personal investigation ~ the matter.
He began his Investigations Jannsry or
February. 1874; he found that there was
a rivalry between the panel houses aud
the houses Of l-fame, and that the in
mates Of the former received police pro-
lection at the expense Of the latter At
a panel house in Mercer street the gas
in front Of the house was delihately put
out every night, and he saw the police
man on post converaing with the man
who climbed up and put It out. He
knew Of one case in which panel thief
who had been arrested by detective

through the exertions OF special officer
