Facts About Butter.

A New York dealer who knows
whereof he speaks said to a Mi iond Er-
press reporter: !" I he annual product Of
butter in the United States is ncs less
than 1000, 900, 0OO pounds per annum.
1t is generally admitted that one-half of
the butter produced is arti cislly colored.
If this be SO, and if natural high colored
butter is valued at five cents more per
pound than the uncolored article, it fol-
lows that the public pay no less than
$2H, ,00O, 900 per aunum for an artificial
color, believing it in most cases to be a
natural color and an indication of supe-
rior quality, for which they receive no
equivalent 1t is also true that if one
pound of color, which consists of an
natto color, dissolved in cotton seed oil.
is required for ln00 pounds of butter,
there must be not less Than half million
pounds Of spurious butter added TO the
product of the country in the shape Of
cotton seed oil"

A Ruined CITY in Tcxas.

The surveys at present being made for
the Kansas city, I'll Paso and Mexican
Railroad, at point north latitude 33
degrees aud west longitude 1906 degrees,
have passed along the lava flow which by
the local population is called the
MolpaiS. II consists Of sea of molten
cooling in ragged waves of fantastic
shapes. These lava waves or ridges are
from ten to twelve feet high with comb
ing crests. This lava flow is about forty
miles long from northeast to southwest
aud from one to ten miles wide. For
miles on all sides the country is the most
des0'ata that can bc imagined. It has
been literally bnrnedup. 1t consists of
fine white ashes to any depth which, so
far. has been dug down. To the north
of the lava flow, aud lying in country
equally deSolato and arid, tho surveyors
have come upon the ruins of Gran
Guivera, known already to the early
Spanish explorers, but which have been
visited by white men less often even than
the mysterious ruins OF Palenque in Cen
trail America. Only few people at
Socorro and White Oaks have been ut
Gran Guivcra, because it is at present
forty miles from water. The surveyors
found the ruins to be of gigantic stone
buildings made in the mast substantial
manner aud OF grand proportions. One
Of them was four acres in extent. All
indications around the ruins point to the
existence here at one time of dense popu-
lation. No legend OF any kind exists as
to how this great city was destroyed or
when il was abandoned. One Of the en-
gineers attached 10 the surveying expc-
dition advances the theory that Gran
Guivera was in existence and abundant.

How to Keep Down Flesh.

Plumpness is essential to perfec
beauty. Fat is the opposite of it.
Science informs us that to keep down
flesh sassafras tea, without milk, may be
taken; likewise cream of tartar, making
drink by pouring a pint of boiling
water ON a teaspoonful of the tartar,
letting it cool and favoring with lemon
and a little sugar A draught of this
half an hour before meals is notable
purifier of the blood, and an occasional
dose of EPSON salts, seltzer aperient or,
congress water may be taken, but always
with the advice of physician. One
ei..SSnt physician recommends the chew,
ing of a grain or two Of roasted coffee to
check abnormal craving for food. Jel-.
lies of Iceland moss without milk are
excellent to satisfy the appetite without
making flesh; so are water crosses and
tender radishes, and ali these are among
the best purifiers of the blood and pre-
ventives of consumption. Scrofulous
and delicate girls should be brought up
on these simple but potent relishes, ( to-,
gethcr with carrots and parsnips, (which
last are the best food for quick and
healthy plumpness. The richness of the
milk of Alderney cows is due to long
feeding on parsnips in the Channel
Island, and the finest and fairest children
in some parts of Scotland use it as a
daily food. A carrot poultice is admir-
able for softening the face, acting as a
purifier by absorption and mechanically
as moist application. Thin, dyspeptic
girls, or those with poor appetite, should
be.given twelve drops of acid phosphate
in a small glass of water three times a
day, half an hour before meals, till they
feel hungry; then feed them on crusty
brown bread and mullins, with daily
change of the sweet, succulent roots,
besides fruit and meats. 1t is surprising
how they will tone up. The dose of
phosphate is not to exceed twelve drops,
as very little IS better born than largo
doses, which are apt to produce rush Of
blood to the head. Detroit Free Press.
