ing from a foreign country should be
killed; that no one should purchase any
thing from foreigner, and that any

= Co-operative MISUNDERSTANDING.


The Maine Farmer gives these two
rules for success in cooperative butter
making:
l. Keep the expense down to the low
est practicable figure.
2. Make good butter.
Cooperative enterprises are frequently
open to the criticism of not being par
ticular in the matter of expenses. For
some reason no person hardly will pur-
sue the same course in conducting public
business or for a corporation that they
would if conducting the same business
for themselves, and especially is this
true in the expenditure of money for ex-
penses. There is no good reason WHY
there should be any difference, but it is
rare to find one who will use the money
of others as carefully as they would If
the same came out of their own pockets,
and for that reason the advice comes
with good degree of force. The man.
ayers of good butter-making establish
ment should practice close economy not
inconsistent with the interests Of the
establishment. And the making of good
butter is one of the chief elements of
success, for the reason that good butter
will find a ready sale at fair prices,
while poor article is q drug in the
market at even non-paying price.

Bliss Did 1t Twice.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, September L.
The worlds record for mile with flying
start and paced, held by Tyler, was given
close call by J. P. Bliss in the Hamp-
den Bicycle Park to-day. 1t was hard
day to try for records. Rain threatened
at every moment, and the air was very
heavy. Bliss made his first attempt at
4 80 p. NJ. He made the distance in
1853 As, which exactly equals the rec
ord made by Tyler at Waltham Aug
ust 4. At he tried again, finishing in
the same time. Considering the weather,
Bliss performance was q most remark
able one.
Not Satisfied With the Awards.
SAN Francisco, September 2-Jose
Fernando, General for
Spain at the late Midwinter Fair, has
written letter to the committe on
awards notifying them that he refuses
to accept any of the awards bestowed
upon exhibitors of the Spanish section.
The action is based upon decision over
turning the verdict of the jury on wines,
reducing the percentage of credits of the
Spanish wine exhibitors and striking
from the list altogether certain awards
that had been made.

Section of the French Canadian Press
Makes q Protest.
MONTREAL, September "A section OF
the French Canadian press is indignant
at what they call an outrage on the part
of the authorities who have charge of
the provincial exhibit at Quebec. The
difficulty lies in the fact that the French
flag is not given official recognition. The
Patrie says:
"We ask all the exhibitors to exact
that the tricolor flag be made to foat
over the exhibition buildings and to
withdraw rather than abide by the die
tates of a pedantic castor who is ashamed
of being Frenchman. Let there be no
exhibition rather than allow France to
be insulted. Therefore, if there is then
a fiasco, the people of Quebec will know
whom to blame"

Gifts at Baptism

Gifts to infants On their baptism are
Of ancient origin. Formerly the spon-
sors generally offered gilt spoons to the
child. These spoons were called apostle
spoons, because the figures of the 10
apostles were carved at the top of the
handles Rich sponsors gave the COM
plete set of 10, while for those who were
not so opulent four was considered the
proper number, and poor sponsors would
content themselves with Offering one
In the latter case the handle of the spoon
generally exhibited the figure of any
saint in honor Of whom the child receiv-
ed it's name. 1t is in allusion to this
custom that, when Cranmer processes
himself to be unworthy of being spon-
sor to the young princess, Shakespeare
makes the king reply:
"Come, come, my lord, you'd spare your
spoons.''
The mug or spoon and fork offering
of the present day appears as a very
debased survival Of a really beautiful
christening offering w Westminster Re-
view.

A window-sash Death-Trap.

MARION, ILL.,, Nov. IA twelve
year old son of II. j. Mora met his
death In a singular manner at a
school house few miles south
east OF this place last night. Upon
his arrival home from school the
lad discovered that he had left his
gloves at the school house. He re-
turned for them but found the
door locked. 1t Is supposed he
procured piece OF timber which,
he placed against the wall of the
building to assist him in climbing
through the window. When found.
few hours later his body was
hanging from the window, his
neck having been caught between
the sash and the sill. He had
evidently climbed upon the tim
Der, raised the lower sash and tried
to make an entrance when the.
timber slipped from under his feet.
and the sash fell and caught him
on the neck, producing death by
strangulatiOn. He had struggled
hard to free himself as his boots
were kicked off his feet when
found.
