Sailing BUTTER.


In sailing butter says 7. y. Curtis in
Farm and Fireside. it should always be
borne in mind that salt has no affinity for
fat. Fat readily absOrbs od0rs but it does
not absorb salt As salt absorbs od0rs. and
should therefore be kept entirely away from
them. Ii is often spoiled for dairy use be-
cause it Is not so kept But it does not
penetrate fats. 1t readily unites with the
water in the butter and becomes brine, and
the brine, though oil and water will not
mix. adheres to the butter granules in fine
drops, and fills the interstices but never
penetrates the solid, compact fat. The
fryer always shows the brine in small drops
like dew. 1t is not spread evenly over the
polished steel because of the fat atihering
to it. Some very interesting as well az in
structive experiments have been made with
salt 10y Prof w. NJ. HAYS, at the Mime

found that even the merest film Of butter

this is self-eyident How can it best be
evenly distributed throughout the mass?
Washing and sailing butter while it re-
mains in small granuleS is the common
sense way of doing it, If the butter is
gathered" before sailing, it is hardly
possible to salt as evenly by any amount
Of working. as it easily can be if the salt
is applied when the butter is in granu-
lar condition. If the salt is all right, and
at once dissolves as it should, the butter
can be Immediately pressed into a solid
mass and prepared for market. This pack
ing butter directly from the churn is be-
coming a common practice The writer
was recently cordially thanked by an Old
maker of fancy butter for having told
her that by the granular process there is
no need Of second working, and she could

Cookey's Awful Vengeance.
An original method of wreaking V

An original method of wreaking ven
geance on an unfaithful lover has been
adopted by deceived damsel. The
man was a tailor and the woman a
cook, who, when she heard that the gay
deceiver had given her up for a spruce
dressmaker, armed herself with pair
of big scissors and bottle of vitriol
and proceeded to the lodging OF the
false-hearted swain. What she would
have done had she met the tailor in the
flesh can only be conjectured in vague
and speculative manner, but it hap
pened that he was out, SO she set to
work on his Sunday clothes. These
she pulled out Of the wardrobe wherein
they lay, strewed them on table and
cut them into ribbons with her scissors.
She next sprinkled vitriol over the lot
and treated the tailor's socks, shirts,
and pocket handkerchiefs to vicious
touches Of the same corrosive sub
stance. Then she went away satisfied,
but was arrested the next morning, ac-
cording to legal phrase rather aor,o-

suit" of the tailcr.-Lo'adon Teie-

LEANING TOWERS OF BOLOGNA,

RES since, settled in this vicinity. and that
yearly he, with eight of his cousins, cele.
brated the memory of some ancestor, and
that on each occasion quarrels arose as to
who should take precedence, until finally
John invented method of settling the
difficulty. He constructed house with
nine sides, with door in each side.
These doors, in turn, led to nine sided
room, In which was set nonagonal table,
80 that all the nine kinsmen presided in
common.
Natural obstacles are sometimes the
cause of what looks like an architectural
freak. This is, for instance, the little
church of Gunwalloe, away off in the
west of Cornwall. 1t was built by pious
Spaniard who was there saved from be-
ing drowned. He insisted on building q
votive church on the exact spot where the
waves cast him up, and SO it was done,
but when the church was completed it
filled the little angle in the rocks and
there was no place left for the tower. So
they built the tower on the other side of
the rocks, where there was another little
sandy angle.
In the quaint old town of Rennes,
once the capital of Brittany, there is to
be seen the still more curious sight of q
church tower with no church at all be-
longing to it. There was church, but it
was burned down in the great fire Of 1920,
which lasted seven days, and which con-
sumed nearly every building in the town.
The tower, piece of massive masonry,
was preserved, and it stands to-day as a
monument of the confagration.
Coming across the British channel and
steaming up the lovely Avon toward Bris-
toll the traveller will have the opportunity
of seeing house known as Cooks Folly.
It is solitary tower set up on an almost
inaccessible hill and is remarkable for
having but one opening, serving as door
and window combined, and that set fully
sixty feet from the ground. The story Of
its construction is as follows: A wealthy

TEMPLE OF KHAsNE AT PETRA.

Petra is another of these wonders of OK
cavation. 1t is approached through an
awful chasm cut by the Wady Mousa,
just wide enough for the passage of two
horsemen abreast, with perpendicular
sides rising from 400 to 700 feet on each
side. This chasm opens to an amphithe-
ater of rock cut in colonnades, pediments,
and ranges of corridors. The amphithe-
alter is between two and three miles in
circumference, encompassed on all sides
by rugged mountains 500 or 600 feet high
The sides of the mountains are cut
smooth in perpendicular direction, and
of dwelling-houses, temples and tombs,
excavated with vast labor out of the solid
rock, and while their submits present
nature in her widest and most savage
forms, their bases are adorned with all
the beauty of architecture and art.

squire named Cook found one day an old
woman picking up sticks in his woods,
and, according to the custom of the times,
had her logged. The dame cursed the
squire and screamed between the lashes
that his son, then child, should die by
the bite of viper before he was 81 years
of age. Superstitious as we'll as cruel,
Cook ordered tower built in the fashion
described, and in it immured his son.
All his food, clothing and comforts were
drawn up into the single opening by
means of windlass and pulley. The
years passed and the squire was
chuckling over the clever way in which
he had outwitted the witch when his Mem
esis struck him on the very eve of the
young mans majority. 1t was cold
weather and bundle of frewood was
sent up for the youths fire. He put out
his hand to draw in the fagot when viper
lifted its head from between the sticks and
struck him. Next day the father mount
ed the tower to release the young squire
and found him dead.
A contractor adds contribution to this
list of architectural oddities. When in
Nuremberg his attention was attracted by
the magnificent facade of the Town Hall.
This facade is supported by row of
arches on line with the edge Of the side
walk, while on the inner side of the side
walk are number of stores, the space
between them forming sort of cloister.
What particularly struck him was the
fact that one of the supporting pillars
was missing. The capital was there, but
the column was gone, and the spring of
the arch rested, like Mohammed's coffin,
on nothing. There seemed to be no SUI
perior arch to take the weight of the
wall, and how the support
