unique invention that 1 have heard of
is q machine for buttering bread. 1t is
used in connection with a patent bread
cutter and is intended for use in
prisons, warehouses, and other re-
formatory Institutions. There is a CYL
indrical-shaped brush, which ia fed
with butter. and lays a thin layer on
the bread as it comes from the cutter.
The machine cal be worked by hand,

of cutting and buttering $50 loavcs Of

"No. my wife doesn't like that" he

Again and again the clerk displayed
his wares before them, always appeal

"Well," said the latter at length, ST

When they were on the street he re-
