Keeping Miik ana butter.

In many parts of Ft.lnce butter is
kept quito sweet for a number of days
by very simple means. Dip the
hands in fresh water and manipulate
the butter so as to squeeze out all the
remains of buttermilk, then pack ii
tightly into an earthenware vessel that
will hold IT. either in large or small
quantities; a cup will do or pudding
basin, according to requirements, only
the butter must be so well pressed
down that no space be allowed for any
mir to penetrate, Inyert this vessel In
q soup plate Dr shallow dish and fill
the latter with fresh water, stand 1t In
o cellar or cool larder, change the wa,
ter every day, and the butter will GER
tainly remain sweet for week OF
more Milk is more difficult to deal
with, The only thing one can do Is to
take every possible precaution to pre-.
vent 1t from turning. 1t must not be
bought IN too large quantities, and,
above oil, 1t must not be shifted about
from metal to eatrthenware vessels or
vice versa; nothing Is more injurious

Religious Procession Much Like the
Passion Play.


Passion Play.
The quaint little Flemish town of
Furnes. situated twelve miles from
Dunkirk, has just celebrated its annual
procession with feryov of the Middle
Ages. This procession. which in real
ity is a passion play, enacted by groups
was instituted many years ago, IN
atonement for the sacrilegious act of
two soldiers. and has since undergone
no change. The town becomes for this
single day in the year the rendezvous
for devotee s and pilgrims from all
parts of Belgium. The procession con-
sists of forty groups and the costumes
many of which are provided by the in
habitants of the town, who regard 1T
as ap rivilage to figure among the ac-
tors-are of the richest description.
The sacrifice of Abraham, the proph-
cts, st. John leading lamb, the stable
of Bethlehem, with Mary and child,
the shepherds. the kings of the East,
the flight into Egypt. and all the cpl
Sodes of the Saviour's life, His entry
into Jerusalem with the Apostles, the
Last Supper. the Garden of Olives, the
betrayal of Judas, and the scenes of
the cruciixion are the groups which
constitute the panorama of the Pas
sion. Each group is preceded by peni-
tents wearing long robes, with head and
face concealed by cowl, and walking
barefooted. As soon as the passion
play is over the public houses are be-
sieged and dancing begins in the nu-
merous booths set up for the occasion

STORIES TOLD BY OLD TREES.
Their Rings Tell of Wet and DRY
Seasons Hundred Years AGO.

Their Rings Tell of Wet and Dry
Seasons n Hundred Years Ago.
1t has been found that the rings OF
growth visible In the trunks of trees
have a far more interesting story to
tell than has usually been supposed.
Everybody knows they indicate the
number of years that the tree has
lived, says the New York Advertiser,
but j. Keuchler of Texas has recently
made experiments a41 observations
which seem to show that trees carry
in their trunks record of the weather
conditions that have prevailed during
the successive years of their growth
Several trees, each more than $50
years old, We're felled. and the order
and relative width of the rings Of
growth in their trunks were found to
agree exactly. The fact showed that
oil the trees had experienced the same
stimulation in certain years and the
same retardation in other years AS
Stunning that the most rapid growth had
occurred in wet years and the least
rapid in dry years, 1t was concluded
that out of the 134 years covered by
the life of the trees sixty had been
very wet. six extremely wet, eighteen
wet, seventeen average as to the sup
ply Of moisture, nineteen dry, eight
very dry and six extremely dry. But
when the records Of the rainfall, run
ming back as far as 1910, were consult
ed it was found that they did not all
agree with the record Of the trees.
Still it could not be deniad that the
rings in the trunks told true story of
the weather. Influences which had af.
fected tho trees in successive years,
The conclusion was, therefore; reached
that the record of the rings contained
more than mere index of the annual
rainfall; that it showed what the char
acter of the seasons had as to sun
shine temperature, evaporation, reg
ularity of the supply Of moisture and
the like; in short, that the trees con-
tanned indelibly imprinted in their
trunks more than 100 years of natures
history which we might completely de
cipher If we could but look upon the
face of nature from trees point of
view

GRAFT
THE turtles that are most sought for
are the ordinary green turtle and ting

hood of Cuba the most peculiar method
of securing the turtles is pursued. They
train, or at least take advantage Of the
instincts of 4 certain species of fish
The fish is called by the Spaniards

The boats which go in quest of turtles
each carry a tub containing some of

are seen they are cautiously approach

rear enough, a reve is thrown into the

Upon perceiying the turtle, its In
stinct teaches 1t to swim right toward

would the reve allow itself to be pulled

allows the fisherman to pull in his

WHAT is TO BE BLIND.


How Blind Man Gets Along by the
Senses OF smell, Touch and Hear
ing.
In a very interesting book written
originally in French by the blind pllilan-
thropist Maurice de la Sizeranne, and
now translated by DIR. Park Lewis, Of
New York, there Is, among many prac-
teal suggestions for the training Of the
blind, u very curious analysis of their
sensations.
The Blind as Seen Through Blind
Eyes" is the title of this little vol
ume, and the writer speaks of his
own personal experience when he de-
scribes that compensating action of
the other senses which enables the train
ed blind to pick their way, to recognize
their neighbors and generally to real
lie the visible world. Smell, touch
and hearing are all exceptionally acute,
and all three senses combine to keep
the blind man informed In the way that
can hardly be understood by seeing
mortals. Thus, If he walks in the
streets, he knows what shops he Is
passing.
Fresh meats, pomade, damp tobacco,
new leather, fish, hay, medicinal plants,
the air blown over cooking truffies,
paper newly printed have odors which
make known to him beyond tho shad-
ow of a doubt whether he Is passing be-
fore butcher shop or hairdresser's,
a tobacconiSt'S. or Shoemakers, the
great market or a cavalry barracks;
whether the puff that comes through
the air-holes is from the laboratory of
druggist or the office of physi-
clan: whether he is opposite lews-
paper stand or the fiower-stall on the
corner.
Similarly If he is in the country he
gets to know the trees and the flow
erS.
Now a resinous smell comes from the
e"ergreens, the sweet breath Of the
new-mown hay floats over the mea-
dows. or a sudden Wifi is blown from
cluster of broom or wild houeysuckie.
His ear catches the murmur of the
brook through the trees and bushes.
The lilacs do not say the same things
as the oaks nor is the rustic of their
leaves quite the same in May as in
October.
But how does he get through crowd
ed streets without a guide? NJ. de Ia
Sizeranne tells us from his own ex-
perience.
He may walk fearlessly so long as he
hears nothing But when the sound
reaches him of footsteps approaching
from the opposite direction he turns a
little to the right and passes by with
out delay and without collision. Far
Their on he meets the children, filing
the street with their games. Children
are easy to recognize; their noisy pratt.
tie and their irregular steps betray
them. Now the blind man, knowing
That it is difficult to count with az,
degree of certainty upon the actions
Of these little people, judges 1t pru-
dent to leave the sidewalk for the mar
row footpath or the street until the
group is passed, when he returns to the
side most convenient to him. West

Brush TEat Raises No Dust.

An anti-dust brush, says ''Cassell's
Family Magazine" has just been pa
tented. the use of which does away
with any necessity for sprinkling floors
with water. tea leaves, sawdust or any
other medium for preventing the ris-
ing of dust during the sweeping of
uncarpeted floors. The brush itself is
circular in shape. and is surmounted
by a metal reservoir in which is car
ried a disinfecting fluid, ''stourolene"
by name In the ordinary way the
brush is used rigid. but if the dust be-
gins to rise the pressing of peg in the
handle allows the brush to revolve
and at the same time charge it with
the fluid.

ties Easily Distinguished.
You can tell Mt a glance the French
woman from the American, the latter
from the English woman, and yet,
says the Paris-New York Herald, each
woman Is a perfect type.
The well dressed French woman
wears very large hat or exquisite
toque; her chiffon blouse has short
sleeves, and is made with rundown
coliar; her gloves are very long, reach.
mg Iaf above the elbow, and although
white, are perfectly clean and fresh.
She has a waist at whatever sacri.
fee, also hips. She wears a white
veil, which she never puts on, under
her hat, and when she walks, which
liz seldom, 1t IL on The tips OF her
toes.
The well dressed English woman
wears In the morning a mans coIOred
shirt, with white collar, mans neck
tie, a tail0r-nlade white drill or hOl-
land jacket and skirt, a very pretty
hat with flowers, with veil plastered
over the face to keep the fringe in
curl.
She has a good figure and Is very
tall, does not wear high heels and uses
her whole foot when walking.
The American woman Is c0mbina-
ton OF these two. With great acute
ness she selects the best points Of each,
but you would never take her for any
body but herself. She is rather In
clined TO the enormous hats Of the
French, but she does not wear short
sleeves and low necks with them.
She Is always appropriately dressed
and has costume for every occasion
which always seems the very best
thing that she could have chosen. She
seems to have calculated all weathers
and all occurrences with an eye to her
dreSs-hence her success.
