Numerous specimens of ancient butter
were discovered during the past century by
peasants engaged in digging peat. Some
of them were dug from depths of ten fif-
teen and even eighteen feet below the sur
face of the ground, and considerable an
tiquity must be allotted to the finds,
although no absolute data exists by which
the average increase of bog soil may be
calculated Examples of this butter weigh
as much as thirty and forty pounds and up
ward, and are identified by the numerous
hairs of reddish color us being the product
of the COW.
The butter is found packed in followed
vessels of wood and in masses of irregular
form. The latter are usually surrounded
with layer of moss and at times have an
additional covering of linen cloth. The
object of thus burying butter in peat or
immersing it in bog water would appear
to be its preservation under circumstances
and in districts where salt could not be pro
cured
Chemical examination still demonstrates
the presence of those oily acids obtainable
from ordinary butter and the absence of
common salt This is characteristic for in
the County Cork butter is still made with
out the subsequent addition of salt. The
practice has long passed into oblivion and
even the tradition is forgotten by the de-
scendants of the race who must in former
times have employed it as an ordinary and
familiar proceeding philadelphia Ledger

A Lion Story.

One evening about o'clock a certain
trooper in Matabeleland, south Africa. was
ordered to ride with dispatches back to
middle drift from the main drift. He had
ridden most of the distance and was can
tering along in the bright moonlight think
ing, perhaps, of his English home so far
away, when all of sudden great lion
jumped on the back of his horse and
tumbled him onto the road, and when he
picked himself up what do you think he
saw? Why, one lion chasing his horse across
the veldt and another lion crouching in the
middle of the road looking at him, and just
ready to spring. Happily for him big
"Wait-a-bit" thorn bush was near, and he
rolled behind it just as Master Leo spranP
at him. He then clambered up little
tree, and there he sat all through the night
watched by the two lions (the other one
coming back when he found he could not
run fast enough to catch the horse) till
daybreak, when they both trotted off, and
he getting down walked nineteen miles
back to camp and told us all about it. The
poor horse was found afterward by a search
party horribly wounded, but am glad to
say that he finally recovered.

why Do Birds Flock?

Why do birds congregate in such mum
bers? 1t has been suggested that in early
autumn their food was to be found only in
limited localities, and they naturally drift
ed there, moved, one and all, by the same
cause, In other words, the upland fields
the spring holes, the grassy hooks in old
field corners, where they nestled, offered
nothing but shelter, and to stay longer
than during summer meant to starve. The
fact that scattered birds do frequent the
nesting places contradicts this, and the
food found in meadows is not greatly diff
ferent, and often too many gather in one
spot for all to be fed.
Whatever the bird, there seems to be
nothing gained by flocking and much is
lost 1t appears to be an inherited instinct
that once safeguard and delight is now
doubtless asource of pleasure, but directly

THE OLD INN.
Rea.winding from the sleepy town,

Red-winding from the sleepy town,
One takes the lone forgotten lane
Straight through the hills A brush bird
brown
Bubbles in thorn flowers sweet with rain;
Light shivcrs sink the cleaning grain;
The cautious drip of higher leaves
The lower dips that drip again.
Above the tangled tops it heaves
Its gables and its haunted caves.
One creeper, gnarled to bloomlessness,
O'erforests all its eastern wall;
The signing cedars rake and press
Dark boughs along the panes they sprawl;
While, where the sun beats, breaks a
drawl
OF hiving wasps; one busy bee,
Gold dusty, hurls along the hall
To hum into crack. To me
The shadows seem too scared TO flee.
OF ragged chimneys martins make
Huge pipes of music; twittering here
Build, breed and roost. My footballs wake
Strange stealing echoes, till fear
I'll meet my pale self coming near;
My phantom face, as in a glass;
Or one men murdered, buried-where?
Dim in gray stealthy glimmer pass
With lips that seem to moan, "Alasl"

When Women Live Together.

In the measure that women are deter,
mining their own lives they want homes OF
their own. Women nowadays drift into
professional and business careers as they
used to drift into, marriage. When they
choose to exercise their faculties and to
entertain professional ambitions they be-
gin the practice of a certain sort or sepa-
ratism that diverts them from the path
that leads toward becoming wives and
mothers
The home keeping instinct of woman
after time begins to resemble the home
making instinct of man. The boarding
house cannot satisfy this and she goes out
to hunt "a little apartment. The desire is
entirely reasonable. The woman who is
occupied with daily work needs greater
freedom Of movement, more isolation, more
personal comforts and exemption from be
ing agreeable at all times and places
She wants to be able to shut her doors
against all the world, and not to be con
fined within four walls herself. And she
wants to open her doors when it peases
her and to exercise the rites of hospitality
unquestioned. In fact, she wants many
things that cannot be had except in her
own home.
