Forged the Signature"

The saloonkccpers OF Sioux City,
Iowa, were driven to desperate re-
sorts to get the number of signatures
on their petitions, which the law re-
ouires, and now they are likely to get
into trouble about it. The anti-saIOon
element is very strong and active, and
some of them have been at the pains
to verify the signatures attached to
the petition, with the result OF asccr-
tanning that many of them were not
put there by their owners. There are
some thirty saloons in operation, and
it is claimed that every cae OF them
had forged signatures attached to the
DctitiOn for q license. All the proprl-
ctors and barkccpcrs arc to be prose
cuted under an Old law OF forgery ano
some of those who took oath to the
correctness of the petition arc to be
prosecuted for perjury.

Some years ago, q class in the San
Francisco art school was startled by
the sudden appearance in its midst
of a dilapidatcd Jrishman who, with
tears in his eyes, begged for money
enough to get him "a bite" The
first impulse of the presiding genius
was to request him to move on. But
his picturesque qualities suggested
that he might be given a chance to
earn his supper by sitting as a
model.
"Sit down. said the instructor,
kindly. "If you will permit these
young ladies to paint you. we will
pay you four bits. What do you
say?"
CAV Oil let 'em what?' said the
beggar, with O. puzzled look in his
face.
Paint you! Point you! 1t won''
take very long
"Bedad! | want the four bits bal

ment's reflection, land I'll be very
glad to let the young ladies pain
me, if yell tell nae how Ohm to ge
the paint off after they are through

arousing the renal organs to activity, and thus

rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax

dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation:
1t has given satisfaction to millions and

Scientists have agreed that it is not
the amount Of brain the weight OF
the brain-which decides the intel
lectual or idiotic destiny OF man, but
the amount Of working surface OF the
brain: that is, the number and intri-
cacy OF convolutions on tho brain de-
tarmine the mental status OF its owner.
Thus, very large brain, II compar-
atiyely smooth, would have much
less thinking surface than q smaller
brain il highly covoluted. The brain
Of Byron was unusually small, as was
also that of Sir Walter Scott, the gen.
tie wizard of the north, who wove the
old traditions of his Scotland into so
many charming romances in prose
and poetry. The brain OF statesman
seems much smaller after he is elected
than it did before. There must be
expanding and shrinking brains that
scientists have not yet discovered.

Granular Buttor.

How many boys and girls on the
farm have had an old apron tied
around their waists and been told to
churn until the butter will hold up the
dasher? Such instructions are fatal
to good butter, says Ohio Home
stead. In the first place the
dash churn is ter years behind the
times and ought to be thrown out of
every farm, even if no more butter is
made than to supply the family table.
The box or barrel churn is cheap and
it is so much MORE convenient and so
much better butter can be made with
it that there should be no hesitation
in discarding the old dash churn i'll it's
favor. But no matter what kind OF a
churn is used, never churn butter
until the butter is gathered in chunks
large enough to hold up the dasher.
There are several reasons why
this should not be done. One
of them is that the grain
is destroyed. Good butter has
a fine, distinct grain. and when broken
shows q distinct fracture like cast
iron. If this grain is destroyed by
over returning or over-working, the
butter becomes q greasy mix
ture, hike lard, and has q greasy
taste. Again, it is necessary that the
buttermilk be well washed out or th'
butter will become strong and rancit
in short time This cannot be cone
when the butter is churned into Jumps
so in the latter case the grain, tlavo
and keeping quality are all injured
The churn should always be stoppe'
when the butter is in the form o
small granulcs, ranging in size from
red clover seed to grain OF wheat
then the buttermil1 can be wei
washed out and the grain will be ur
injured if the working Is properl
| done. There is no reason why tn
, farmer should not make just as Tin
butter as any one, providing he WI
| take the trouble to do it right.

ing? TO keep bacteria from getting
into the milk.
Why should the milk be removed

ton of fbrin and the growth OF bac-
terra

butter? TO be sure that the tempera
ture is the one desired in each stage
or division of the work.

OF retard souring? 1t retarls growth
if bacteria.
WHY do milk and cream sour les

There are fswer bacteria in the al
and the temperature is lower.
Why does the ripening of cresn
make it churn more easily? The al
luminous matter Of cream is rendered
less tenacious.
