Must Have Good Butter.

The public is becoming more and

educated to demand something better
than that which formerly satisfied it.
Enterprising people are living better
than they used 70 live, and every day

Very poor butter is no longer wanted on
the table, and the old idea that poor
butter would answer for cooking pur-
poses. il for nothing else, is giving way
rapidly to the very proper notion that
poor butter is a poor article at any time
and anywhere. There is little demand
for butter that is not at least
fair quality, and every year brings with
itagreater necessity ofraising the stand
ard of orr dairy products. 1t would
seem as if every body would recognize
this fact, and We think every body does.
The difficulty in the way of increasing
.ae supply of frst-class butter, is ne;
that all hatter-makers do not realize that

INTERESTING STATISTICS.

IT is said that France is the largest
consumer OF wheat bread in the world,
her consumption of wheat per head be-
ing about s bushels against 81 to So
bushels per head in Great Britain and
Ireland.
FIFTEEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY-EIGH-
MILLION letters, or forty-one per head OF
population, were delivered in tho
United Kingdom during the year which
ended on the LIST of last March. Besides
that there were 800, 100000 postal cards.

service showed deficit of s24O,000.
ACCORDING to calculation made at
the United States legation at Paris, it
is estimated that $4,000 Americans have
visited the exhibition. The Matin,
reckoning the expenses at Paris OF each
of these visitors at 5000 francs, calcu-
lates that the total sum they must kave
spent there can not be less than $50 ,000,-

SIXTY years ago railroads were un-
known in the United States, which then
had a population of 12,oO0,0 900 people.
To-day there are in this country 1876, 900

THE total number of arrests made by
agents Of the Treasury secret service
last year, assisted in some cases by local
officers, was 437, the great majority OF
which were for manufacturing, dealing
in or passing counterfeit American
money and raising Treasury notes. The
fines imposed by courts in these cases
aggregated $14,S4S, and the sentences
imposed to 372 years, 6 months and 81

Large Irrigation Works.

The great Bear River Canal in Utah
for the construction of which 100000
has been provided, is expected to be one
Of the most extensive irrigation works
in America. To get the river along the
side hill along Bear River Canon and
out on to tho plain near Plymouth will
necessitate the moving of 2a0, 200 cubic
yards of solid rock, 10000 cubic yards OF
loose rock, 1,52s, 900 cubic yards of earth
and digging 1900 yards of tunnel. This
canal will irrigate 100000 acres in Salt
Lake valley and 5000, 900 on Bear river,
increasing tho value of land to $50 per
acre, while fencing, building and tillage
are expected to double this valuation in
. few years. Bear Lake is in South
eastern Idaho. The reservoir for this
canal covers $50 square miles, and the
canal will secure the irrigation of ter

MODELS OF CRUISERS.

Ships Three Hundred Feet Long Reduced
to Seven Feet.
Visitors to the Navy Department find
nothing to interest them so much as the
models in the main corridor representing
the new cruisers. These are inclosed in
glass cases, and look like magnificent
toys. They embrace the Maine, the
Charleston, the Boston and other vessels
that will comprise the fighting strength
of the new navy. These vessels are
about seven feet long, yet they are abb
solutely accurate epresentationsin min
iature of the completed vessels. Not
withstanding that it would seem impos-
sible to make everything appear in min
iature and yet preserve the scale, it has
been accomplished in these models.
Guns, shields, spars and rigging are all
represented in size exactly relative to
the dimensions of the vessel. 1t has re-
quired an endless amount of calculation
and skill in tho preparation of these
models.
Imagine ship over 800 feet long re-
duced to seven feet, and yet the details
are preserved so that life buoy on the
side of the vessel is properly placed and
of precisely the same relative size as in
the original design. Even the line by
which it is released is there in minia-
ture.
The projectiles ranged along the deck
behind the batteries will exactly 1T tho
miniature guns, and away up in the tops
are the military arms, scaled to repre-
sent their relative weight in the arma-
ment.
All this is handwork, and requires far
more skill and delicacy than the con-
struction of q watch. The few experts
who are successful in this branch are
employed in the Navy Department. They
have made all the models alluded to
above, which have cost from $500 to
5000 each. The Northumberland

Several Tested Rules for Making Three
6cod Varieties.
With little doubt the most delicious of
all breakfast mullins are the old-time
English muffin, which is never eaten in
perfection except fresh from the toast
ing fork, the English cook never think
ing it possible to serve this favorite
breakfast dish unless 1t is first split and
toasted by the fire. They are really
bread dough, we'll Toured, baked in a
ring on slow griddle, then turned and
baked on the other side. This leaves
the center hardly done, and the muffin
is split and toasted on the inside. Served
with coffee they are peculiarly sweet. A
few English bakers in New York City
make speciality of serving these muf-
fins at their lunch counters. 1t Is bet
ter to attempt something else you do
know well than attempt to make this
bread at home unless you are sure. Like
French bread, it seems to be a secret of
the bakeshops end there are so many
other breads that housewives do make
better than the baker that it Is hardly
worth the time learning to make these,
which can be bought in perfection. In
this country muffin usually means a
cake baked in forms in the oven. We
give several tested rules for these:

The Prosrrsx Of Language.

The progress of language spoken by
the different nations is said to be as
follows: English, which at the COM
mencement of the century was only
spoken by $4,000. 900 of people, is now
spoken by 100000, 900; Russian is now
spoken by es.ooo,ooo against 80, ooo, 600
at the beginning of the century. In
1901 German was only spoken by s5,-
GOO 600 of people, to-day over 10000. 900
talk in the same language that William
III. does. Spanish is now used by a.
900, 900 of people, against $4,000, 900 in
1900; Italian by $4,000, 900 instead Of
100000 Portuguese by $4,000, 900 in
stead Of 5000. 600. This is for English
an increase of sls per cent; for Russian.
90 per cent; for German, 20 per cent;
for Spanish, SO per cent; etc. In the

Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fever-A Now
Home Treatment.
Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence Of living parasites
in the lining membrane of the nose and
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be fact, and
the result of this discovery is that a simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks
N. B.-This treatment is not snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph-
