HOW TO GET YOUR PORTRAIT,

Two or three hundred confidential"
circulars have been received at the st.
Johnsbury post office, from Chicago
artists" addressed 10 men and women,
living and dead, in which those addressed
are advised that by sending good pho.
tograph OF himself or herself the afore-
said artists will make beautiful crayon
portrait free, such as other artists charge
$50 for the only condition being that
the person receiving this portrait shall
have it suitably framed and hung so as
to advertise the house which bestows
this beautiful gift. This is remarkable
otfer-a thirty dollar picture for nothing,
and from entire strangers, too. If all of
the two hundred respond, this mission
airy firm in Chicago will donate to this
town alone not less than $4,000 worth of
real art. Talk about the "Angelus -
there is no need Of paying such high
prices for pictures so long as this benev-
olent Chicago firm exists.
But how does this scheme work ?
Those who have caught on to the ''snap"
say that on receipt of the photograph
asked for this firm Immediately acknowl-
edges its receipt, praising the picture
and assuring the person ii represents
that it win make fine crayon portrait,
real gem-an ornament to the walls of
any parlor, They then refer to their for
mer letter and its sole condition, that
the portrait must be well framed, and
then In order to save the person addressed
trouble and expense. they incidentally
remark that they make framing of por-
traits specially and then give a price
list of frames ranging in price from SO
to $3.50. OF course the person who is to
have present of $50 portrait will not
be so small as to deny his benefactors
$50 for frame for it, and so he sends
on the stamps. Or, if he does not, he
never looks on his beautiful face as en-
bellished by these Chicago swindlers.-

but doing no more than thousands OF
others do. He received two gun hot
wounds, has his share of rain and snow
and dust and mud, rebel prisons etc. but

comparatively well. He goes to work

terest. In few years certain diseases
begin to develop, which his friends tell
him, and he believes, are the result of
injuries received in the service of the
United State and in the line of duty.
After time he applies for pension and
is called upon for the most absurd proof
that ever the mind of man conceived.
Finally he is ordered before a board of
examination and the board finds and
reports that he has disabilities. which by
law, would entitle HIM to a pension of
$40 per month. This not being satisfac-
tory TO the Office in Washington, he is
ordered before another board, and then
TO another, and finally after four OF five
years of atfi iayits, examinations, hunt
ing up evidence, writing letters, etc., he
is allowed the mun'ficent sum of 81 per
month. This p ns'On is not legal, be-
cause il he IS entitled TO anything he is
entitled to SIG per month, but the app!i-
cant is not then informed of the law or
of the report made by the examining
surgeons. After few years the disa-
bility increasing, he applies for an Gin

ground that he is receiving all the PEN

time gets the case re-opened, and upon
the next examination gets the rate iu-
creased to So per month.

any more evidence being called for, but
no doubt upon an examination of the

Democratic Administration re-rated

several ears, then $12, then $l4, and
ending with $1S per month which is the
present rate.

in your paper at the time it was allowed

PACKING BUTTER FOR TRANSFORM
TVnN


| noticed an article in a Canadian
paper, stating that Canadian merchant
had shipped a consignment of butter TO
China via the Canada Pacific railroad.
The article went on to say that this was
the first lot of butter shipped to China,
and that the venture had proved f.
nancial success, but that the mode or
manner of packing the butter was a
secret. Now what is to hinder some of
our American butter dealers from try
ing the same thingp There is market
in that country, apparently, that would
take all our surplus butter. The
United States sends hundreds of thous-
ands Of hard dollars to China every
year to pay for the tea we buy of them.
Why not exchange butter for their teaP
The United States sends large quanti-
ties of butter to England, where We
come in direct competition with the
older countries of France, Belgium, Ger
many, Holland Norway, and Sweden,
and we generally come of second best
in that market. But in China, once we
get the market established, we would
have little competition. As to the Sc
cret manner of packing butter to China
or any other foreign country, here IL is !:
Take new pork barrels, fill them with
water, let them stand four or five days,
and change the water once or twice
during that time. This serves two pur-
poses-lhe water takes away the wood
smell and also soaks into the barrel and
prevents the danger of the brine soak
ing into the wood and leaving portion
of the butter bare, which would cause
it to become strong and rancid. Make
brine by boiling that will float an egg ;
let it stand to cool and settle before us
ing. Make butter into rolls that will fit
into the barre's so as not to leave too
much vacant space. Wrap the rolls in
cheese cloth to prevent them from mass
ing together. Put in portion of the
brine before commencing to pack into
the barrel. Leave two inches of space
at the top Of the barrel for brine, fol-
here is where the secret lies-in moi
allowing the air to come in contact
with the butter after packing. Butter
requires to be sailed in the usual way,
one ounce 10 the pound, before packing
for the reason that the brine will moi
penetrate butter when pressed in 9
solid mass. Butter packed this way
will keep fresh and sweet for months
Last season put down several barrels
in this way. The butter was in the
brine from the middle of June unit
December. When unpacked for sale
it was just as fresh and tasted as vel
as when it went into the brine.-Cor
