POLAR EXPLORATION.
Admiral McClintock Thinks Franz Josef
Land Nearly Approaches the Pole.

Admiral TcClintock Thinks Franz Josef
Land Nearly Approaches the Pole.
The veteran Arctic explorer, Admiral
Sir Leopold McClintocl, has written a
letter in which he upholds strongly the
advantages of the Franz Josef Land
route for polar exploration. He says:
"Franz Josef Land does almost certain
ly approach moro nearly to the pole
than any other land yet discovered.
Therefore think it is the only route
which offers possibility of success to
North Pole attempt, and this because
the Polar Rack has been found to be so
rugged as to render all attempts to
sledge over its surface extremely slow
and laborious. To explore the north
ern shores of Franz Josef Land alone
would constitute success, and one of no
ordinary interest. The explorer would
in all probability be enabled to APP
proach nearer to the pole than has hith-
erto been accomplished. A study Of
the currents and of the positions of the
drift-wood from Siberian rivers upon
the shores of Spitzbergen would throw
light upon the supposed expansion
northward of Franz Josef Land. My
impression is that vast deal of that
drift-wood must have reached its desti-
nation by passing northward and west
ward to Franz Josef Land; II this is so,
it seems improbable that itextends very
much farther northward than is at
present known. But all geographical
speculation is extremely unreliable An
expedition wintering at Franz Josef
Land, with well-prepared sledging
equipments, would, in my opinion, be
In the very best position for adding to
our stock of geographical knowledge in
as high latitude as has ever yet been
reached, and with the possibility Of a
still farther northern advance"

monev In Good Butter.

II dairymen will bear in mind that
the best butter pays a profit and the
poorest insures q loss they will have
one large foundation stone of dairy
economy established. The average
grade just pays the cost of produc-
ton; the poorer grades fall below and
the better grades rise above. The
profit accrues from the better grades
Of butter produced from the better
grades Of cows For while it is entire
" practicable to always make a high
grade butter from low-grade COW, 1t
is not possible to secure a profit be-
cause Of the small quantity. Neither
can profit be obtained by making
large quantities Of poor butter. First,
we need good cow then give the COW
ard her milk good care and success is
certain. There Is comfort in the fact
that 1t is just as easy to make good but
ter by good methods as to make poor
butter by "oid granny methods. In
fact, It Is very much easier and ten
times more satisfactory.-orange Judd

DAIRY STEAM MUELLER.

Anyone.

1t Is Not Patented and Can Be Used by
Anyone.
A reader calls for a cut and descrip-
ton Of the steam muller which was
mentioned some time since as used in a
creamery near Fort Dodge, Ia 1t is
very simple and can be fitted up at
nominal cost. Run the conducting pipe
into T coupling, letting the end run
little past the center as shown in our
illustration. The T coupling is larger
inside than the outside of the pipe
which conveys steam into it. The idea
is to force jet of steam past the mid
die of the T. The force of the steam
jet causes a partial vacuum behind it.
This draws water up through the short
pipe connected to the middle of the I
coupling and mixes it with the steam
which passes on into the water tank.
1t causes a rapid circulation of water
through the latter part of the coupling
and its pipes, heating the water by the
admixture of the steam and doing
away with the distracting racket
caused by the kissing and bubbling of
steam when run direct into water.
Another fine thing about it is that it
will heat cream better by running it
direct into the cream than in the old
way of heating water surrounding the
cream tank. In the cut, A represents
the pipe which conducts the steam to
the T. 1t is provided with stopcock
by which the pressure of steam applied
can be regulated. The short pipe

ODDITIES OF TAXATION.
Queer Holland Imposts Levied in the Older
Times.

Queer Holland Imposts Levied In the Olden
Times.
The archives of Holland contain
some ordinances which may well be
regarded as curiosities of taxation. In
the year 1866 there was a tax imposed
on all passengers travelling in Holland
by land or water In 1901 this tax was
still in force. In 1914 duty of five
cents was levied on each person who
entered a tavern before noon. The
tax was increased for afternoon visits.
Persons who assembled in a private
house after three o'clock in the after
noon for the purpose of amusing them
selves had each to pay a certain sum,
and those who entered place of pub
lie entertainment were likewise taxed.
There was duty on marriages and
deaths. The amount of the tax varied
according to the social position of the
parties; while in the case of person
buried outside of the district in which
he had lived. the amount payable by
his executor was doubled.
But the most curious tax of all was
one imposed In 1914 on boots and shoes.
In order to prevent the impost from be-
ing evaded, each of those articles so
essential to human comfort had to be
conspicuously marked on the upper
leather with the stamp of the maker,
and also with that Of the taxing Off
GER. The sum to be paid was regulated
by the size of the boot or shoe. So,
apart from the question of beauty, in
those days It was a real advantage to
have small foot.

METHODS OF FAMOUS AUTHORS
How Noted Writers Constructed Their
Plots and Wrote Their Books.

How Noted Writers Constructed Their
Plots and Wrote Their Books.
The methods of popular authors are
almost as interesting to the public as
the amounts of their annual earnings.
A contributor to Household Words has
written chapter on Literary Meth
ods," which is readable, but apt to be
disappointing if the novice turns to it
for instruction. For the ways of
writer's are various and strangely con-
Trajectory. Some, for example, write
best in luxurious studies, some in bed,
some in prison and one or two on ex-
press trains. Some like gay surround
ings, some gloomy; some the busy stir
of men, others the deepest solitude; a
happy few can write anywhere and
under any conditions. The majority
prefer the fresh morning hours for
composition, while others are at their
best in the drear hour of midnight.
Again a few compose with business
like regularity, but most by fits and
starts How is the beginner to know
which to take as model? Com
ing to plot or construction the
same difficulty arises. Scott began
without knowing how he was to
go on. Dumas had his novel ar
ranged to the smallest detail be-
fore putting pen to paper. Wilkie Col
Inns pursued an elaborate system.
Starting with central idea" he pro-
ceeded backward and forward, arrang-
ing and harmonizing parts without
any heed to SCI ial division or to book
publication. He was most particular
about good beginning and good
end, policy thas doubtless won him
many readers. Like Balzac, he correct
ed and recorrected, sometimes having
as many as six different proofs of a
novel. lola shows the same con-
scientiousness and is rewarded by a
sale of one hundred thousand copies of
a new work. A lucky novelist here and
there, like Mr.. Payn or Mr.. Stevenson,
gets good plot in dream and has no
difficulty in the matter. But it is not
safe to rely On dreams On the point
of style there is the same tantalizing
diversity. Flaubert urged his pupil,
Guy de Maupassant, to be original at
all hazards; the advice was taken,
with what result we know. Mr.. Stew
enson, on the other hand, played "the
sedulous ape" (the phrase is his OWN
to half dozen masters, and is reck-
oned one of the best writers of Eng
glish prose living to-day. Clearly it is
hard for the tyro to know which exam
pie to follow. In general the readiest
way to success is to have a story to tell
and to tell it simply and naturally.

Scarcely anything in daily use il
more common than paint, indoors or out
1t is before us all the time. We could moi
do without it. Our doors, windows. walls,
ceilings, stairs are all protected by paint
often beautified by it. A vast amount o.
money is spent annually in paint--much o.
it foolishly, for it is not commodity that
is well understood by the people. Ifthey
are buying almost anything else that is tt
wear, they will get that which looks the
best, lasts the longest, gives most satisfac
ton and costs the least in proportion to
its value.
With paint, they seem satisfied if it il
called paint. Is it not reasonable to sup
pose that there is just as much difference
In the quality of paint as of cloth, silk OF
satin? Chiffon Paints cost more to manu-
facture than any other, but they cost the
consumer less, because it takes less to do q
certain amount of work, and when once il
is done it need not be touched for years.

Too often parents and guardians are
at a loss to know what to do for their
delicate" children. One sees that a
child is not strong; she looks pale;
seems to be weak and so quickly ex-
hansted upon every slight exertion;
possibly the appetite is miserable, and
either inability to sleep, or too great an
inclination to sleep, are prominent and
distressing symptoms Oftentimes these
symptoms are forerunners of fever or
some other grave disease, but more
frequently they indicate the need of a
change from indoor life to that of liv-
ing in the open air. The best mode of
livip. out of doors is to find some work
to dc there, although idle sauntering is
better than keeping within doors Medi-

fraility is to be treated--Good House

SANITARY PRECAUTIONS.

seasonable Suggestions for Keeping the
Home Healthy.
The sanitary conditiono of the house
hold is a subject on which one should
never weary of expatiating. At this
time more than usual care needs to be
exercised, for as the warm days come
the disease-germs propagate with great
rapidity and before long will get the
upper hand of the careless house
keeper. Look to the cellar, see that
there are no vegetables or fruit in a
haif-decayed state, clear out odds and
ends of all sorts. sweep, scrape, scrub
if necessary. brush out, dust all ashes
from the heater, that have accumulated
during the winter and hang around on
the cobwebs for they are nurseries of
disease Dark spots on the wall should
be cleared off and whitewashed.
Lime is a great purifier, and copperas-
water is invaluable for killing disease
germs. Two or three pounds of
copperas dissolved in half barrel of
water and used with sprinkler around
drains and low places where the water
settles out-of-doors, may save doctors
large bill or break in the family cir
Gle. Pour few pailfuls of copperas-
water down the sink and through the
pipes, deluge water-closets with it and
scatter it in all places where there are
bad odors.
Keep can of potash on the shelf
over the kitchen-sink, drop few crys-
tails into the sink and let the water dis
solve it and run away through the
pipes; watch all damp corners; if the
walls are water-soaked and paper falls
off, leaving a colony of well-developed
fungos-growths in various shades of
blue and black, scrape the walls, get
little Portland cement, mix it with
water and put it on with whitewash
brush Work rapidly, mixing a small
quantity at time, and this will not
only give the walls a hard finish but
will make them as waterproof as a
china cup.
Some day, when we know great
deal more than we do now, all of the
plaster on four walls will be made of
this sort of material, stuff that water
can not get through; then we will have
no further trouble with paper falling
off and growing damp or discolored.
More people die from carelessnessand
stupidity in the world than from any
other cause. II is too much trouble to
keep things clean, and because the
enemy doesn't come with roaring
noise and branoished weapons, moth
ing is thought about it. A stitch in
time saves nine, and little care early
in the season may save doctors large
fees and not infrequently undertakers'
larger bills.-N. Y. Ledger.

INIT the F1iolxer Who Did Not Like Tobacco

A good mans breath got him in
trouble on one of the recent cold days.
He was riding down town in street car
with an unlighted cigar in his mouth,
BEN" Butler fashion, and attracted
the attention of the conductor. There
is no street-car rule preventing man
from carrying an unlighted cigar In his
mouth, and the man in question
thought he was all right. But the day
was very cold, and once in while the
man removed the cigar to blow his
nose. The warm breath congealing
caused the conductor to think he was
smoking; he was sure that he saw
clouds of smoke issuing from the pas
senger's mouth. After standing it for
two or three blocks, he walked up and
said:
mo smoking in the car"
Everybody heard the rebuke and all
ewes were turned on the offender, who
said nothing, but continued to hold the
cigar in his teeth, blowing great clouds
of white breath around it. After
awhile the conductor approached again.
mo smoking in this cal" he said.
You'll have to get outside "
The passenger moved not and the
other passengers looked On in amaze
ment. Developments were expected at
any moment, as the conductor seemed
to be man not to be fooled with. The
clouds of smoke continued to rise.
IF you don't quit your smoking PHI
nut YOU off the car. Don't you know

my good friend, said the passenger,
'ff you look at this cigar you will see
that it has never been lighted l do

The conductor apologized and retired
to the rear platform
