in to twit her about upon the failure of
her business venture, the humbled face
of the old woman led them to speak
kindly words instead.

QUAlNTEST OF BIRDS.
The Pengsin, Which Is Not as Slow as 1t
Looks.


Penguins seen alive are the most de-
lightfnlly quaint of all birds. Standing
erect on their feet with their queer
fiappers extended, or running along in
a hurry with a shutting gait, they re-
mind one of an old gentleman in a very
long coat which nearly covers his toes.
Formerly very scarce in captivity, PEN
gums have become more common of
late years, and may now be always
seen in the Regents park collection.
The penguin most commonly brought
to Europe is the black-footed penguin
of the cape. Other species occasionally
introduced are the iackass penguin of
the Falkland islands and the large
king penguin of the Antarctic ocean.
The yellow-crowned penguin is a
new addition to the series 1t is New
Zealand species of which little has
been recorded. But in general form
and action it evidently does not depart
materially from its more familiar con-
geners, from all of which, however, it
may be at once distinguished by the
well-marl1ed yellow band encircling
the crown. The present specimen of
the yellow-crowned penguin was cap
tured by some fishermen in the straits
between the southern islands of New
Zealand and Stewart island, and trans
mitted by correspondent to Sir Henry
Peek. Bart, who generously presented
it to the Geological society's fish house,
where this penguin is kept along with
other examples of the same family. will

the visitors be fortunate enough to wit

ing small fishes. which they do with

DOCTORING BUTTER.

No Honest Farmer Can DO 1t In Justice

A subscriber writes: as there any
way to sweeten butter after getting
stale? If so, please give me the recipe
for doing it.
We never saw Tor tasted any butter
that had become stale, had gone
over" or was ''off" that we thought was
of much account. Yet there is consid-
cradle worked over butter (?l on the
market.
We have never used the following,
but give it for what it is worth: bad
butter may be improved by dissolving
it thoroughly in hot water; let it cool,
then skim off and churn again, adding
a little good salt and sugar. Try a
small quantity first; if improved or APP
proved, fix up larger quantity. The
water should merely be hot enough to
melt the butter, or it will become oily. !"

cid Butter" MELT in a hot water

If by any mishap good butter
maker has some poor butter on his
hands he will not try to doctor it and
put it upon the market as his make.
His reputation is worth too much.

poor butter) it is best, it seems to us,

sition by an iron rod running from one

gravel to shovel on while working into
the bank by using hoe the gravel
may be cleared from behind it, few
inches at a time, and the platform
pushed up As the bank caves, it falls
on the hard, smooth surface of the
platform, and each shovelful may be
taken up with much less strength and
time than if shoveling in the bank with
nothing to aid the edge of the shovel.
The wings, projecting outward, catch

form of this device, Fig. 8, is built
much heavier It's legs are made
in the form of braces SO that
it cannot be pulled toward
the wagon, and instead of
resting on the sloping bank, heavy legs
support it. These are first buried in
the gravel as a further protection
against force. All this precaution is
taken because the wagons are to be
filed by horse power; and an extra
horse or team will be required. A
common scraper does the work, but the
team is not used on the platform. It's
place is on the ground beyond the
wagon being filled, and a heavy rope
connects it with the scraper. A pulley
on a convenient tree can be made to
tighten the draught and elevate the rope
above the wagon. With wagons enough
to keep the scraper-team at work, high
ways may be very rapidly graveled and
swamps filed. Loose planks for sides
and bottom should be used on the
wagon instead of the regulation box.

These may be removed piecemeal, al

wanted, without handling. Where a
team and scraper are employed, the

the wagon if the bank is high, or when
it becomes difficult to get the wagon
close to the platform. When road

THE SANATIvE GIRL.
She Is Able to Hold Her Physical Ill

She Is Able to Hold Her Physical Ills
at Bay.
"Does this yellow dress make me
look pale or sick?" asked one girl of
another in the street recently. "When
the sun shines upon me | fancy that
the yellow of my dress makes my COM
plexion appear bad. Now notice par
ticularly when we come to the next
open space between the houses, and tell
me honestly if you think look the least
bit sallow."
What shall you do with the dress, If
it is unbecoming?"
why, throw it away, or put it away,
or give it away, or do something else
with ii, of course. | couldn't afford,
for the sake of my position in society,
to wear anything that makes me appear
ia delicate health. I shouldn't be in
vited anywhere. 1t wouldn't do at all,
you know; it really wouldn't do. 1t is
so out of style to be sick or delicate or
even frail in appearance"
And so the girls, to insure the health
which is now SO necessary to their so
cial standing, have provided themselves
with chatelaines, upon which hang
half dozen boxes of gold or silver, set
with jewels and in which is a collection
of medicine, tonics and more or less
stimulating drugs. A gold chatelaine
with six or seven gold bottles or boxes
hanging therefrom contains quinine
capsules warranted to hold the pangs of
la grippe at bay, digestion tablets, laxa-
tive lozenges, pUrgative pellets, cough
drops, silver-coated peppermint cachous,
glycerine cubes and a variety of tonic
pills to keep the system in general good
order.
And so. the girl of to-day, besides do
ing everything else for herself, has taken
the reins of her own physical system in
her own hands and bids defiance to the
elements and the doctors, maintaining
that she knows what is what, and how
to- take care of each individual in.-N.

LONG COATS AND JACKETS.
Dressy Effects Of the Latest French and
English Garments.

Dressy Effects of the Latest French and
English Garments.
Long closely-fitted coats that cover
the wearer from neck to foot are popu-
lar for useful wear in the morning
for shopping and travelling. They are
double breasted, with revers collar, and
have usually the cross seams on the hips.
Very light tan kersey is used for these
coats. with stitched edges as their fin
ish and large white pearl buttons.
Other long coats of gray or tan checked
cheviot have a deep English cape to
complete them. Dressy French cloaks
are full round garments of light cloth,
with the yoke covered with lengthwise
stripes of gold bald. The flaring collar
is similarly trimmed, and narrowly
edged with feathers. A belt at the
back is of the gold braid.
Bedford cords in gray, tan, and light
green shades are used for spring jackets.
They are of fashionable length, the
back fitted, the fronts straight, with
revers trimmed with gold braid in zig
gag lines. Light tan coats of smooth
cloth are in especial favor, and are
made with silk sleeves studded with
steel or silver. An applique trimming
of light gold braid in bow-knot designs
is on the low rolled collar of youthful
and pretty jackets of dark-blue cloth;
their only fastening is gold cord with
tasselled ends passed under the collar.
The ribbon wrap is smart little cape
for summer wear made entirely of
lengthwise rows of black grosgrain
ribbon alternating with open Jet gal
loon. For middle-aged ladies are hand
embroidered black faille mantles, short
in the back, with full high-shouldered
sides and long mantilla fronts. Jet
passementerie and Chantilly lace form
the high collar and edge these mantles.
For evening are mantles of white ben
galine with jeweled trimming, and a
fiaring collar of white ostrich feathers.
Short nantes of open black passe-
menterie or of net-like crocheted work
are studded with large jet cabochons.
Henri Deux capes OF black or tan
cloth studded with jet cabochons or
bordered with graduated rows of ca
bochons are shown for tall and stately
women. They are made very full, with
high wired collar and revers, and have
a nlBh pun on ehCh ohouAu0l stA aPPoU

without the cabochons have the
strapped shoulder puffs, and length
wise rows of jet ON yoke and fiaring
collar; the latter is edged narrowly
with ostrich feather trimming. SINH
lar capes suitable for those dressing in
mourning are of lustreless black cloth,
with dull black braid in stripes on the
yoke and shoulder puffs, while the col
lar and fronts are edged with braid
that is finished to initiate the popular
trimming of ostrich feathers. -Harper's
