And no dairymaid of poesy ever
made more delectable butter than she
who presides at the royal dairy at
Balmoral; hard, sweet, and of fine
grain. II is nodded into pots Of
various sizes, each with crown in tho

Her Majesty appreciates her ex-
cellent butter, and not infrequently
visits her dairy and cheers the heart
of her dairymaid by expressing that
appreciation. She is 'always nice,
gracious and kindly"
The dairy is at the east OF the castle
and is distinct from the home farm,
which is at the west. At the home
farm are kept the poultry which
supply eggs for the royal table. The
cottagers, too, find market Mt the
castle for their fresh laid eggs, for
which they are paid after the de-
parture of the Queen, when the
accounts are made mp and which
amount to pretty little sums.

Whenever he moved the weapon Il
few inches the snake would move
around and get exactly in line with it.
Then to show how the thing was done
the Indian moved about the snake in II
circle, and the reptile moved as if his
tail was pivot, always keeping his
head and body in line with the gun.
The Indian then agreed to bandage his
eyes aud shoot the snake in the mouth.
The writer bandaged the Indian
eyes, and, holding the gun by his side
at arms length, the latter pulled the
trigger and the ball entered the snakes
mouth and passed the whole length of
its body.
"How did you take aim?" was the
query.
"rhe snake, he take aim," was the

on this proposition, and he claims that

An Ingenious Expedient

When Sir Christopher Wren built
The town hall of Windsor, a fidgety
member Of the corporation, as the
story goes, insisted that the roof re.
Iuiied further support and wished
hat more pillars should be added.
Vainly did Sir Christopher assure
him That the supposed danger was
Imaginary. the alarm became in
fectious, and the great architect was
tlnally worried into adding the de-
sired columns Years rolled on, but
In later times, when architect and
patrons had passed away, cleaning
operations in the roof revealed the
fact that the supposed additional
supports did not touch the roof by a
couple Of inches, though this was i'm
perceptlble to the gazers below. BY
this ingenious expedient did Wren
pacify his critics, while vindicating
his own architectural skill to future
generations.

The Sugar Tree.

The sugar maple of New England
has u rival
1t grows in the Andes of Chile at a
height of from 5000 to 1900 feet above
the sen. 1t is curious variety of that
most useful, wonderful tree, the palm,
whose varieties also give us dates, and
coco, and cocoanuts, and fans.
This palm is not slim and graceful
like most kinds we see in tropical
pictures. 1t is about fifty feet tall,
with very thick trunk, enlarging in
diameter from the ground mp to about
half its height, and then tapering
again to the top, where its long leaves
spread out.
These sugar palms produce great
quantities of sweet sap, which, when
boiled down, makes both molasses and
sugar of peculiar but delicious flavor.
On one estate the trees grew in such
numbers that once il was determined
to count them, but after counting sew
eral hundred thousand, and more than
half remaining uncounted, the task
was given up.
What "lnrks" it must be for chill

begins to flow from the upper end and
keeps on flowing for months Every
morning a thin slice is cut of to pre-
vent the wood from hardening and
forming crust through which the sal
could not flow.
