A QUEER WAY To HARDEN BUTTER.
An English butter maker of large exper-
ienee, who is now on visit to this eoun-
try for the purpose of looking over our
cheese and butter dairies, gives us the
following information concerning meth
cd in practice among the best butter
makers in England for rendering butter
firm and solid during hot weather Car
Donate of soda and alum are used for the
purpose, made into powder.. For twen-
ty pounds of butter one teaspoonfIl of
carbonate of soda and alumni are mingled
together at the time of churning and put
into the cream. The effect of this pow
der is to make the butter come firm and
solid, and to give it a clean, sweet flavor.
1t does not enter into the butter, but its
action is upon the cream, and it passes
off with the buttermilk. The ingredi-
ents of the powder should not be ningl-
ed together until required to be used, or
at the time the cream is in the churr
ready for churning.

AN exchange says: ''Why will girls
run away to get married ?" We give it
up, answers The Louisville Courier
Journal. But we know a lot here that
would be glad enough to stay at home,
or jump at the chance to walk off and
get married. They boys amt around
asking them as they did, takes more mon
ey to run one nowadays than it does to
run steamboat, and they can see more
fun with steamboat. All girls, it s
your own fault. Swap off your silks and
satins for lawns and calicoes shut up
the piano and dive into a washtub; throw
away your fancy needle-work and tackle
q red hot stove in the kitchen. Instead
of receiving Brown, the bankers son, in
the parlor, keep your eye skinned for
Bill Burns, the blacksmith's son, as he
goes home from work I; kiss his dirty
face through broken pane of glass in
the kitchen window, and after while,
when he learns his trade and you know
your business, get married, go to house
keeping by yourselves, help each other,
live happy. raise a family that will be an
honor to your names and credit to them
selves, die happy, and the angels will
not turn their backs upon you up there.

AN EXTRAORDINARY CALF.-This year
says the Macon, Ga, Telegraph, has
been prolific of prodigies, and fresh ones
are coming to light every week. The
latest development in our bailiwick is
reported to Us as follows, on the best
authority About two months ago a COW
belonging to Mr.. ". W. Corbett, of the
Warrior district of this county, gave
birth to very remarkable calf-remark-
able in having five perfectly developed
feet, one of Its fore legs being provided
with two distinct feet. In this same leg
there is an extra joint between the shoul-
der-blade and knee Joint. On one of the
hind legs of the calf there is the half Of
an extra hoof, above the natural hoof.
In each ear of the calf there are natural
swallowfork crops, which look as if they
had been done by knife in some dex-
terous hand. The most wonderful fea-
ture of the calf is that it has two sets of
male organs, one of which is located i'll
its breast We have not seen this ami
nal, but the above statement is vouched
for by Messrs. A. STRIPPING, James Ham
lin, w W. Wagnon, Jesse Galloway, J.
Hicks, and others who have seen it. 1t
is now two months old, and is as hearty
as any calf OF its age in the county. 1t
will be exhibited at the District Fair in
October. -

FRUIT FOE FooD.-If a child's diges-
tion become impaired and the gastric
juice becomes weakened OF defective in
quantity by overheating OF bad food, the
whole alimentary canal becomes clogged
up and filthy, and furnishes nests for
such worms as will breed there. In this
weakened condition of the system, they
cannot be destroyed by the process of
digestion, and hence great harm comes
from them. Now, it is an interesting
fact that fresh, ripe fruit is the best pre-
ventive from this state of things. DR..
Benjamin Rush pointed this out a hun
dred years ago. He made series of
experiments on earth worms. which he
regarded as more nearly allied to those
that infest the bowels of children than
any other, with view to test their pow
er of retaining life under the influences
of various substances that might be used
as worm medicines. The results proved
that worms often lived longer in those
substances known as poisonous than in
some of the most harmless articles of
food. For instance, in watery solutions
of opium they lived eleven minutes i'll
infusion of pink root, thirty-three min
utes in claret wine, ten minutes but
in the juice of red cherries they died in
six minutes black cherries, in five min
utes gooseberries, in four minutes !;
whortleberries, in seven minutes, and
raspberries in five minutes. From these
experiments DR.. Rush argued that fresh,
ripe fruits, of which children are very
fond, are the most speedy and effectual
poisons for worms. In practice this
theory has proved to be correct.

A HANDY TABLE.-We are indebted
to carpenter and contractor for the fol-
lowing valuable table to those who de-
sire to make their own estimate for
building. 1t is worth pasting in your
scrap book:
One thousand feet of flooring or cell
ing will lay 800 feet of solid superficial
measure. One thousand feet of siding,
$50 feet. One thousand feet rustic sid
ing, 10 inches wide, 900 feet. All lum-
Der is measured before planning, and is
so calculated in all bills.
Five gallons of oil is sufficient for 800
pounds of lead-boiled oil or raw also
turpentine weighs seven pounds to the
gallon. Eight pounds of properly mix
ed paint will cover three squares, one
good coat.
1t takes from five to six pounds of
shingle nails to the 1000 shingles. 25
pounds flooring brads will lay 1000 feet
flooring. Sixteen pounds flooring brads,
three-penny, will lay 1000 feet ceiling.
Nails will weigh as follows: Seven
inch spikes, 5 will weigh pound; sixty
penny nails, 9 to the pound forty pen

CUTTING STEEL WITH Soft IRON
Jabob Reese, of Pittsburg, Pa, had
long endeavored to construct machine
to cut hardened cold steel. He accom-
plished it at length by means of saw
of soft wrought iron-merely circular
disc-rotating at high velocity. With
low speed ti,is would not cut at all but
when running about $4,000 feet per
minute the disc cut through steel rapid
Iy, giving out an immense cascade of
sparks in the operation. 1t was found
on examining the debris beneath the
disc that the particles of steel wero
not simply rubbed off. They were weld
ed together in pyramid like stalag-
mite or the snow circles on the top of
Mount Washington. Professor Hedrick
ascertained that real fusion had taken
place among the particles of steel. The
disc is very little heated, but the steel is
actually melted and drops down. Yet
the bar on each side of the cut is not
heated enough to draw the temper or
oridize the metal. Solid bars of steel
of two or three inches in diameter are
thus cut through in as many minutes.
The soft metal disc is about 40 inches in
diameter. The naked hands may be
passed through the jet or stream of Eyy-
ing sparks, during the operation. with
out being burned, since the particles OF
melted metal are in the condition known
as the spheroidal state.

SHE KNEW THE BEAST.

"You see this hoss, don't you2" called
out a woman about forty years of age
as shed drove up to Grand River Avenue
blacksmith shop yesterday.
The smith came out and replied that
his sight was good.
Il want shoe on that hind foot right
to once," she continued, and size ium-
ped down and had the horse almost out
of the old wagon before the smith reach
ed the curbstone. She led the beas i
into the shop, sat down on the bench
and prepared to take smoke, and as
the blacksmith took down shoe she OBJ
served:
''No fooling, now. 1 want that shoe
to stick to that foot for whole year.
You can't impose on me cause I'm q
woman"
After the hoof had been prepared the
horse suddenly became restive, dancing
around and bothering the shoer SO that
he could not proceed.
'You don't seem to have had any ex-
perience with horses" remarked the
woman, as she rose up and laid her pipe
aside. 81 know this beast from Dan1
to Besheba, and you just get back a lit
tle.''
The smith retreated few feet and the
woman caught the horse by the bits,
gave him two-hundred pound kick in
the ribs and yelled:
whoa! Charles Henry-git around
thCre-stand over and take that-and
this-and some mo1e! Now come up
and toe the mark!''
Charles Henry kicked the anvil of the
block as she kicked his ribs, but she kick
ed the hardest, and when the horseshoer
stuck his head into the shop the horse
was half over a bench, but as quiet as
lamb.
CHOW, pureeed," said the woman, as
she picked up her pipe. ''When boss

FRIDAY, AMERICAS LUCKY DAY.

There is popular superstition against
Friday as an unlueky day, and yet it is
somewhat noteworthy fact that, for
Americans at least, it has been peculiar
ly fortunate Here arc some facts that
the Chicago Times has been compiling
| on the subject, and the perusal of them
will sustain the assertion that the Amer
leans should be rather inclined to honor
the day than otherwise.
1t was on Friday, the Sd OF August,
1892, that Columbus sailed from the
harbor of Palos for the New World 1t
was on Friday, the 18th of October,
1892, that he first saw the land, after
sixty-fve days of navigation.
It was on Friday, the 4th of January,
1888, that he started ON his return to
Spain, to announce to their Catholic
Maiesties the glorious result of their ex-
pedition, and on Friday, the 18th of
March, 1893, that he discmbarked in
Andalusia. 1t was on Friday, the 18th
of June, 1894, that he discovered the
American continent. On Friday, March
5, 1897, Henry VII. of England gave to
John Cabot his dispatch for the voyage
which resulted in the discovery of the
continent of North America.
On Friday, Sept. 6, 1865, Mendez
founded st. Augustine. the oldest town
IN the United States. On Friday, Nov
10, 1920, the Mayfower first disembark-
ed few emigrants on American soil,
at Provincetown, and on Friday, Dec.
%, 1920, her passengers finally landed
at Plymouth Rock. It was on Friday,
Feb. %, 1872, that George Washington
was born.
1t was on Friday, June is, 1775, that
the battle of Bunker Hill was fought,
and on Friday, October 7, 1777, that
the surrender of Saratoga took place,
which event decided France to give her
aid to the Americans. The treason of
Arnold was discovered on Friday. York
town surrendered on Friday, and on
Friday, June 7th, 1776, Richard Henry
Lee read the Declaration of Indepen-
dence to the Continental Congress.

A SOCIAL economist of Austria has
prepared table showing that there is
an intimate relation in that country be-
tween crime and the plum and grape
crops that when there is large crop of
either of these fruits from which brandy
is made, crime is especially prevalent.
It's the same in this country, except that
all fruits, and especially melons, might
be included. The great prevalence of
crime in good fruit years is mostly con
fined to the boys, and it doesn't result
from the brandy either. r-sr-

How TIGHT THEY WEAR THEM.

How TIGHT THEY WEAR THEM.-The
extremities to which fashion has advanc-
ed in London IN female attire are really
deplorable. A lady on whose truthful
ness I can depend confides to me the
following particulars She was asked
the other day to inspect the wedding
trousseau of young lady of high rank.
The dresses were very numerous and
beautiful, and every accessory of attire
was in the height of fashion, if not of
good taste. ''But where" inquired my
friend, sis the under clothing 2"
"Oh," said the miliner with smile
of pity, 'ladies wear none nowadays.
They wear these instead" And she
pointed to three complete suits, not of
armor, but of chamois leather.
It is only over chamois leather that
the skirts from Worth can be strained
tight enough. at Bristol, the other day,
the Mayor gave an entertainment to the
Lord Mayor of London, and the occa-
sion seemed SO important that one lady
guest sent to Paris for her dinner-dress
1t was SO tight when it came that she
had to take off garment after garment
before she could get into it at all. And
then she had to sit down at the table.
I am told that her sufterings were con-
siderable during the repast but Eoi

did get up, thanks to the gentlemen on
each side of her, who pulled down the
