would go to every funeral in her neigh,

it put down in one of the best place, on

Buttered Flower.

A Connecticut company, says the
Hartford Times, makes flour already for
baking biscuit or strawberry shortcake
it only requires to be mixed with milk
or cold water, and the batter is ready for
the oven. The process of its manufac-
ture is interesting. Aquantity of wheat
flour is sifted and dumped into large
tub. Butter cut into large cubes is
added to the flour. Then the white
coated operator weighs out certain mys.
FERROUS quantities OF baking soda and
fine table salt, which 90 to swell the
contents of the tub. Then the mixture
is placed in large polished cask, which
revolves slowly in one direction, while a
sort of dasher inside moves in the OPP
posite direction. The cask revolves
about thirty minutes, at the end of
which time it is opened. 1t is found
that the ingredients have been thorough
ly mixed; every particle of moisture con-
tanned in the butter has been evaporated,
and that the mixture is as fragrant as
new mown hay. 1t is then placed in
bags and boxed for shipment.

Polar Expeditions.

Speaking about winter resorts, mill
tary friend of mine writes me that he
wouldn't ask anything better than a
commission to make trip in search of
the open Polar Sea. He invites me to 60.
l thanked him for the invitation and
asked him when he wanted his men
picked, before or after the trip.
While | would like we'll enough to
catch a few pickerel in the open Polar
sea and breathe the crisp, pure air of no
degrees and no minutes longitude due
west of given point, am almost posi-
tive that l will dig the clinkers out of a
large base burner this winter and write
foamy, frothy, sunny, soothful poems for
3 dying world.
While no one would more cheerfully
enter into the giddy whirl of Esquimaux
society, or load his stomach with cod

vinegar, in order that he might crafty a

Pole had hot box or not, yet shall not
