The Care of Butter.

Farmers are often unjustly blamed for
the poor quality of butter, which was
quite good when bought, but quickly
deteriorates after 1t has been kept one or
two weeks. The city housewife, or
more generally the servant allowed
charge of the kitchen, is largely to
blame for this. In summer we have
known butter to be placed in refrigera-
tors along with meats and even fish, the
idea being that as none of those touched
each other no harm could be done. Fat
is very absorptive of any oders, and
either cream or butter is thus easily
not be placed where it will get direct
heat from stoves or furnaces. If the
house is heated from the basement, as
many city houses are, it has probably no
really good place for storing butter.
On shelf uear the kitchen it is sure to
absorb odors from the daily cooking.
In the country, butter is generally
kept in cellars, which in winter are
largely used at storehouses for all kinds
of vegetables that the farmer is fortu-
nate or enterprising enough to produce.
But the prudent housewife does not
often try to store either cream or milk
in proximity to the odors arising from
vegetables, roots, and fruits. If the
OuSSc4Y 10 uOC 700 CLOSE TO the kltClon
stove, and is properly ventilated, good
butter may be produced but, as is gem
orally conceded, this is much more diff
cult in winter than in summer, when
good ventilation seems to be much
more necessity that it is rarely neg
lected.
The butter house should, if possible,
be disconnected from everything else.
and be kept both cool and free from
noxious odors. Few farmers are able to
keep any large quantity of butter very
long without loss of quality, and never
IT their cellars are filled up with fruits
and vegetables, as those of farmer in
mixed husbandry are almost sure to be.
Nor is the city resident any better pre-
pared for this business. AS a conse-
quence it is better that the farmer sell
his stock off about as fast as he makes
them, and that the consumer should buy
small quantities, that may be quickly
used before danger of their being
spoiled

The Yankees are little too smart for
the Frenchmen. The manager of the
Edison exhibit at the exposition was
approached by journalist, who de-
manded money for reporting the pro-
posed visit of President Carnot to the
Edison department. He was induced
to make his demand to the photograph,
which he did, assuring the manager
that the President might come and go,
but there would be no mention of the
facts in the papers if the money was
not paid. When President Carnot ar
rived the photograph repeated what
the journalist had said, much to the
discontinue of the latter and much to
the amusement Of the President.

Where COWS are nilked in the stable
cleanliness is the most important es-
sential. If the gutter is in the right
place the COW herself need not be soiled
by excrement. All should be removed
void more after the milking has begun,
and it is better to stop to work and
cover the droppings with handful Of
land plaster than to continue milking
while every stream passes through air
filled with foul odors. It is not merely
for cleanliness that this should be done.
The plaster helps to fix in the manure
pile ammonia that would otherwise be
lost.

EDGAR F. LINCOLN, of Topeka,
Kan, has taken out more patents dur
ing the last two years than any man in
the country His inventions cover all
fields and he has patented almost
everything, from an improved electric
light to celluloid toothpick. Like a
great many inventors, he finds it diff
cult to make money out of his clever
ness. Other men reap the profit OF
his brain effort. His last design is a
toboggan brake. It enables toboggan
to stop in the middle Of the steepest
incline instantly if any obstruction
suddenly appears on the chute.

Signs of the Times.

Tt is said that there is no surer test Of
hard times than can be found in the ad-
vertisements of the newspapers. When
the columns are filled with advertise
ments offering expensive articles for sale
it is to be considered ominous, because
the rich are the first to feel the pressure
and begin retrenchment by getting rid Of
some of their luxuries. If there Is any
thing in this rule. hard times are in the
near future, for the papers during the
past two or three weeks have been liter
ally crowded with the offers Of gentle
men who are in apparent distress and are
offering dog carts, broughams, victorias,
horses anl I'll the other accessories OF
private stables, us well as bronzes and
bits of brica-brac, to the highest bidder.
1t does u: seem, from casual observa.
ton, that anybody in New York can be
very hard pushed for money. The dis.
play which is made in the streets and al
the theatre indicates boundless wealth.

In every eighteen hours of waking life
there are at least as many opportunities
for the display of a practical, unostenta-
tious bit of unselfishness that will make
the recipient happier and the bestower
happy as we'll. The organization re-
ferred to is one that should find encour-
agement from all that can realize what
it is to be poor and friendless and hope
less. And even If they can not, it will
at least be possible to give intelligent
sympathy, to perform small act of
pure unselfshness for the mere pleasure
which such doing confers. They will
find that little bit of altruism has pow
er to bestow happiness not purchasable

Her Mothers Ghost,

A marriage which was to have taken
place at Campden the other night. was
interrupted in all unexpected way. The
contracting parties, Henry Brown and
Miss Mary Morgan, stood before Rev. Mr..
Clayton, preparatory to becoming man
and wife. A portion of the service had
been already read, about fifty witnesses
being present, when the bride uttered
loud scream. All eyes were Immediately
fixed upon her. She was seen to raise
her hand and point toward a corner of
the church. The next moment she fell
on the floor in sWoon and had to be
carried out. Physicians worked with
her for nearly an hour before she was
restored to consciousness. When fully
recovered she gave a curious explanation
of her conduct. Her mother, who died
four months ago, was opposed TO her
marriage with Brown. The marriage
was for q time delayed, but after Mrs.
Morgan's death arrangements for it were
pushed. Miss Morgan says that just
when she was about to pronounce the
binding words she raised her eyes and
saw her mothers ghost; then she tainted.
The wedding was postponed for several
days.-New York journal.

THE METHODIST SONG SERVICE.

The Methodist Song Service Sunday
evening was one of the pleasantest exer-
cises we have attended in Great Falls.
The church was we'll filled with an ap-
preciative audience. Such entertainment
is to be encouraged since it not only
makes beautiful service. but keeps and
develops an interest in music. The story
of these unhappy people is inspiring in
itself and the selections well rendered as
they were, added much to its sentiment
and effect. The choir must have spent
much time in preparation, which was
made up as follows:
Misses Gremm and Trigg. Mrs. Curtis
and Mrs. Clark, assisted by Messrs. Haw-
kins, Outright, Thompson and Dodsor,
with Mrs. Campbell as organist. In the
riddle of human life it is not from pleas
ant conditions that lessons are most prof
table. It is true that the ''sorrows of the
unfortunate make real the joys of the
world"
Study the history of these people, their
trust in misfortune, their patience in
suffering. their thankfulness in victory
and your life will be better.
Milton found in the theme inspiration
for what Mr.. Palgrave styles in his notes
to the "Golden Treasury" as 'the most
mighty sonnet in any language known to
the editor" 1t may be of interest in con-
nection:
Ayenge, o Lord thy Slaughtered Saints, whose
| bones
Lie scatter'd on the Alpine mountains cold;
Even them who keep thy truth so pure OF OLD
When all our fathers worshipt stocks and stones
Forget not: in thy book record their groans
Who we're thy sheep, and in their ancient fold
Slain by the bloody Piemontese, that rolpd
Mother with infant down the rocks. Their moan
The wales redoubled to the hills, and they
To Heaven Their martyr'd blood and ashes SOY
Ger all the Italian fields, where still doth sway
: The triple tyrant that from these may grow
A hundred-fold, who, having learnt Tiny way
Early may fly the Babylonian woe

The Manitoba Must Build.

MANY new situations in railroad mat
ters affecting the northwest seem to arise
as results of the Union Pacific and N ORTIZ
western combination. One OF these
seems to be the forcing of the Manitoba
system to more speedy construction OF
its Pacific coast extension from Great
Falls. The Union has notified the Man
itoba that the joint tariff agreement, by
means of which the latter reached Fort
land from Butte, will be Cancelled, and as
the Northern will certainly not give 1t
anv coast facilities, it will be compelled
to build it's own projected line moro
speedily. Another result seems to be the
nrobable absorption of the Oregon IA

A Little Bit of Altruism Has Power TO

An organization has recently been
formed in this country, formed of men
and women-the latter preponderating-
whose motive and creed are as simple as
they are lofty. To become member and
subscribe to the tenets of this organiza-
ton, it is necessary to agree to one thing,
to be pledged to one act. 1t is that each
member shall, each and every day of his
life, perform at least one act for the good
of fellow being.
In this age of selfshness it is refresh
ing to learn that an assemblage of hui
man beings can be found whose watch
word is altruism, and who bind them
selves to forget self at least once every
twenty hours. The l. IN which

selfshness finds poor soil indeed. 1t
grows sporadically, not generally, and is
too often stunted and weakly affair.
And yet the need of altruism, of self for
getting, is more widespread every year.

the poor grow poorer. SelRshness, on
