Farm and Creamery Butter.

Our best hotels, restaurants and pr.
vate customers pay higher prices for
creamery butter because it is always
uniform. On the farm there is often a
lack of facilities, and first class butte,
cannot be made. Too much of it is made
in the kitchen, and the cream raised
right where it can absorb the odors o!
boiled cabbage, onions or other veg
etables. Give the skillful farmer and
his wife the facilities Of the creamers,
and they will produce butter as hne a.
or finer than can be produced IN the
creamery.

WAITING FOR THE ANGELS.

Waiting through days of fever,
Waiting through nights of pain
For tire watt of wings at the portal,
For the sound of songs immortal
And the breaking Of life's long chain.
There is little to do for our dear one
Only to watch and pray
As the tide is outward drifting,
AS the gates of heaven are lifting
And its CLEAN is on her way.
The tasks that so often taxed her,
The children she held so dear,
The strain of the coming and going,
The stress of the mending and sewing,
The burden of many year
Trouble her now no longer.
She is past the fret and care.
On her brow is the angels token,
The look Of a peace unbroken.
She was never before 30 fair.
You see, she is waiting the angels.
And we've are standing apart.
For us there are loss and sorrow;
For her is the endless morrow
And the reaping time of the heart.
Margaret E. Sangster in Harper's Bazaar.

shoe. The shoe is fastened to the hoof
by four nails driven through the rope on
each side. The tarred rope resting on
the pavement gives the horse a firm
grip on the ground, and as it makes the
shoe much lighter and infinitely more
comfortable than the solid iron its
advantage is readily apparent. The
new invention increases the horses
pulling power and saves its hoof a deal
of the hard ware which cannot but re-
suit from the iron shoes pounding the
rough pavements.
Several thousands Of the rope shoes
are in use now in Berlin, and the results
are eminently satisfactory. The horses
soon find that they do not have to throw
their front feet sprawlingly forward to
obtain pulling hold on the pavement.
They can place their hoofs squarely
down, the rope bottom of the shoe clings
well to the ground, and they thereby
get stronger purchase on the load be-
hind them The new shoe is in reality
shoe and stocking combined-the stock
ing being worn outside instead OF inside
the shoe. The rope also lessons the be-
numbing shock caused by the sharp
clang of iron against stone to great de-
gree, and enables the horse to perform
it's work with much less fatigue.
The rope, it is said, will stand four
weeks, of hard usage, when it can be cas-
lily replaced at trifing expense. Its
use does away with the calks which are
now made at the ends of horseshoes to
prevent the horse from slipping. 1t may

Many cows-most of those from which
comes the cheap butter-are now run

dry cornstalks, foods that will not put
flavor into butter, and the COWS are what

last spring. The high priced butter, OF

fed cows fresh in milk.

A BRoADs1DE FROM STEVENSON.

He Shows Up Some Peculiar cts Of Those
In Power in Little Samoa.
LONDON, June 4-Another letter from
Robert Louis Stevenson appears in the
Times this morning, inveighing with even
greater extravaganza Of language than be-
fore against misgovernment in Samoa
Stevenson now pours the vials of his wrath
on Chief Justice Cederkrantz to whom he
formerly appealed against tbe misdeeds of
Baron Pilsach, the President of the Munic-
ipal Council of Apia, whom he now regards
as tool and scapegoat for another. Tho
burden of his complaint is that Baron Pill
sach and Justice Cederkrantz. finding de-
cision that customs receipts must be paid to
the municipality, denuded the Government
OF money it needed to pay the salaries Of
themselves He says:
Pilsach, as adviser of the King wrote q
letter TO himself, reprimanding himself as
President for consenting to the decision,
got the Kings signature to this letter and
brought an action against himself before
Justice Cederkrantz. Nobody was present
at the trial but the Judge and Baron Pilsach.
Judge Cederkrantz reversed the decision,
and thus enabled Baron Pilsach to demand
that the municipal authorities surrender the
money to the Government. The result Of
this action was q stormy meeting Of the
Municipal Council. During the proceedings
Baron Pflsach, with humorous candor, pro.
posed that the dispute be brought to the
notice of the powers.

TROY HILLS TEMPLE.
Opening of the New and Magnificent
Chapel of ST. Anthony
ERECTED BY FATHER MOLLINGER.
Over $3.50, 900 Spent by the Priest Upon the
Spacious Building.
REMARKABLE COLLECTION OF RELICS

The new chapel of st. Anthony's, on the
Mt. Troy road, was opened to worshipers
for the first time yesterday morning. The
building has been in process Of erection for
over year, and cost its owner. Rev. Father
Mollinger, upward of s15o,00o. 1t is a
spacious structure, 100 feet in length by 60
feet in width, and is furnished with such
magnifcence as to almost make the be-
holder question whether st. Anthony should
be called the patron of Father Mollinger or
Father Mollinger the patron of st. An
thony.
The floor is covered with tile work, and
the many windows of the finest stained glass
present various allegorical pictures. In the
center of the room, between two beautiful
candelabras, is gilded model Of the Cathe-
drsl of st. Peter at Rome, the dome of which
is studded with rubies, pearls and other valu-
able stonea Directly back of this is the
main altar. It is constructed entirely Of
onyx and is said to be the most expensive
one in the United States, having cost many
thousand dollars. In numbered inches
along the sides are IA group statues, rep
resenting different stages of the Ssvior's
journey from Calvary to the place of his
cruciixion.
Represents the Savior's Last Journey.
The first represents Pontius PLATE yield
ing at length to the opportunities of the
high priests, but turning abashed from the
gaze of the Lord and washing his hands in
. bowl of water held by slave at his left.
In the second niche Christ is struggling
under the weight of the cross while his e1-
ecutioners are cruelty belaboring him with
clubs aud spears to urge His bleeding limbs
to quicker pace. Groups Nos. 8, 5, z and
9 show the Savior lying senseless upon the
ground, while the exoutioners are trying
various heroic treatments to 'bring
Him to" that they may re-
sumo their journey. In groups four
and six he is pictured parting with his
mother and st. Veronica. In group eight
he stops to give his blessing to the women
