was held Wednesday to hear The report OF
the waterworks committee. The COM
mittee is of opinion that the quantity of
water is inadequate for fire protection
and not of as good quality as it should be
for domestic purposes. A petition from
citizens was read asking that the city s
contract with the waterworks company
be annulled. Both the report and petit
ton were referred to committees for in
vestigation, and will be fully reported
upon at the next meeting of the council

To present cheese in perfection gro. cer should not buy too much of it at a time, as it is apt to get hard and stale on his hands. Two weeks supply at once should be the limit, while one weeks IS still better. The cheese iB bet ter kept in the still, cool room oi' the maker than anywhere else till it is ready to be eaten.
 Remember this: It does not pay to feed heavily q scrub COW for milk when you can get one of a we'll known milk breed for moderate price nowadays. The blooded milker eats no more than the protitless beast.
 The internal revenue receipts from oloomargarine had steep fan ill the past year. The main reason is said tn be that real butter has been so cheap and plentiful. Another reason is that the dairy states have forced their legis. latures to pass such stiff restrictive laws that the oleo article has almost been driven from tho market in some of them. A favorite law in some of the states Is one compelling makers of oleomarg.rine to tint it beautiful pink color.
 The Minnesota agricultural experi. ment station has found that by washing butter in the granular state with brine the full amount of salt is incorporated with the tutter.
 Field and Farm asks it's readers if il ever occurred to them that milking a COW without first wetting her teats will cause her milk to leak from the teats.
 Some lots of butter were shipped from Australia to London, and reached their destination when the butter was two months old. It was found to be in good condition, and brought fine price. Those who shippeI. it from Australia claim that it was prepared by mixing with 1t Fome ''preservative' along with the salt. and this was what kept i; in prime condition. What is this preseeva. tive, and is it any sort of poison, either quick or slow? If butter Is kept sufi. ciently cold it will remain iii good con dition an indefinite time.
 Dairy and farm butter should be sold directly to consumers to be profitable.
 There are a few tolerably sure sign, of a poor butter maker. He never ia seen at dairy conventions or butter schools, and he never takes {. paper. He makes greasy butter in summer and "woozy" butter in winter. And you would be apt even to catch him smoking close to the milk and butter.

fan by spreading one upon it as a pat tern the size you may desire. Then sev- en squares should be cut two inches and half square. A light piece of cotton wadding should be laid over the fan piece and the squares. This may be delicately sached with orchid powder or white rose. If skillful with the brush and water colors paint spray of eli matis or trumpet vine like the design of the illustration upon the satin before covering the fan piece with it, though q rich design stamped and embroidered is equally as effective.
 The satin may be applied with muci- lage, paste or with the needle, and should be of bright cobra rich gold or crim- son--to properly display the photographs placed against it. The yellow Is very attractive as a background for trumpet flowers, the heavy greens of the leaves and rich reds leaving the yellow parts of the flower to be colored by the satin it. self. The squares are then nicely GOV cred with bits of plush to match the satin, on which lettering in dull red makes piquant description of the photos they are to support. The fan and these bits may be lined with thin silk or col ored cambric. The squares are easily sewed in place, save the top and end one, which may be pasted against the fan or fastened by means of skillful stitchery. A ribbon girdle is fastened at the top to suspend it from hook on the wall or the knob of mirror, while double case of this sort-that is, two fans with back to back-may be hung from gas jet or chandelier, and affords ample capacity for all ones friends.

Washington a woman's Paradise.

Washington is paradise for the wo- man who loves to show her independence. Every day of the year women tourists arrive, stop at one of the big hotels, and start out to see the town. Wash ington has the most famous wq.aan law yer, the best known woman's dress re- formers, and no end of women who make their way in the world in the public de- partments, in professional life and as proprietors of hotels and boarding houses, to say nothing of the many wo- men who go there to push their claims upon the government with energy and persistency more than masculine. Wash ington is becoming noted, too, as @ city of rich widows, who, practically alone in the world, manage large estates and carry on extensive domestic establish ments. The carping critic and cynic, the sneering curmudgeon, the doubting Thomas, who prate of wonan's resem- blance to the vine and her inability to do for herself, should by all means go to the Capital City and see what he shall see

If you will just go down there and see for yourselves, you will be convinced that there is no greater absurdity than to say that those people are better off in the old country than here. Hew can they be better off there? If they eat the same food there that they eat here it has to be sent across the ocean to them, and they have to pay the increased cost of that. At all events they certainly can- not buy it any cheaper than they can here. It may cost them more to live here, all things considered, than 1t did in the old country, but they live better here.

A man got this clerk to write letter, in which he undertook to givea description of America, and he went on to say to his friend, Il eat meat once regularly every day" The clerk turned around to him and said, What do you say that for? You know that you eat meat three times a day. see it in your kettle. "Well," said the fellow, Eff tell them that l get meat three times day they won't believe that l get it even once a day, and that is the reason want you to put it as I gave it to you"
