Butter making has grown to be very
large and profitable industry in Den
mark, largely through State encourage
ment. Twenty-Five years ago Denmark
began to make butter for export, and
though the State does not control the
factories, it maintains constant super
vision over them, arranges competi-
tions and offers prizes for excellence
and subjects the product to rigid in
spection. The result is that Danish
butter has the best reputation in Eu-
rope, In 1894 England imported $780,
100000 worth of butter from Denmark
and recently the British secretary Of
the admiralty astonished the house Of
commons by stating that butter for the
navy was ordered from Denmark be-
cause English agriculturists could not
hold their own in competition with the
Danish butter makers.

THE NEW REMEDY.
Malignant Case of Diphtheria Referred to
on Saturday Has Now Passed Danger
Point-Anti-Toxine Is Efficacious.

The case of the little boy, 10 years old,
whose treatment with anti-Joxine was
mentioned in Saturdays PRESS. has
progressed most favorably, and Sunday
night the physician pronounced him
out of danger. When this case started
it was of malignant type, and the
physician thought the boy would die.
He decided to try the anti-toxine, and
made the first injection on Tuesday.
On Wednesday the second Injection was
made. These two injections were all.
Very soon after they were made, the, fav-
orable symptoms already often spoken of
in connection with this remedy were OBJ
served, and the patient began to i'm
prove. Sunday evening the physician
told the PRESS that the little fellow
was out of danger.
Two other members of the family, hav-
ing lighter cases, were treated with Sim
ilarly favorable results.
The physician does not hesitate to at
tribute the favorable course of these
cases to the new remedy.
The experiments with the new remedy
seem to be showing favorable results all
over the country, and the manufacture
of anti-toxine is to be entered into
largely. Parke, Davis & Co., of De-
troit, large dealers in medical supplies,
have just announced that they shall es-
tablish plant for this purpose, for the
supplying of that portion Of the country.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
In Old Kentucky.

"In Old Kentucky is the attractive
title of the new play, which will be seen
for the first time az the Portland Thea
tire this evening The scene is laid in
the mountainous regions OF Kentucky,
and the story is spirited, idyllic and
thrilling by turns. 1t is said to pos
sess real power, with characters painted
by skiIlfuI hand, and situations natur-
ally worked up to exciting climaxes. 1t
is a heavy scenic production, each scene
representing some particular spot or
building in Kentucky. Probably the
most striking scene is the realistic rep
resentation of the Lexington running
track. with all the adjuncts and accesso-
ries.. complete in every detail. An inn
mense Kentucky stable, a hospitable old
Kentucky home, and numerous pictur-
esque mountain scenes are also shown,
and it is quite evident that no little
matter of expense deferred the owners
from giving their play rich mounting.
1t achieved distinct and emphatic sue
cess in Boston, and is unquestionably one
of the most successful productions of the
year. The original Boston, company is
to appear here, including Miss Laura
Burt, Mr.. Forrest Robinson, and the
famous Pickaninny Band. Judging from
the advance sale Of seats the attendance
will be extremely large. The play will
be repeated tomorrow evening, the en-
gagement being for two nights.

An Insupcrnble Obstacle.

Together with the question of boomers
for women, some of tho souls which i'm
aglno themselves to be llied with aesthetic
longings are making desperate effort at
another revival Of tho long desired knee
brooches or knckcrbockerS. They allogo
that trousers are bHggy at the knee and
liable TO become dirty Mt the ankle They
also hold mp tho knee breaches as things of
beauty and call upon masculine fashion to
adopt them
We do not think it will be done. We
need not dispute with the aesthetics as to
the beauty OF brooches themselves MS the
fatal deficiency is in tho men. 1t is "A sad
fact that the majority of masculine hu-
manity is subject to Indictment rs being
spindle shankcd. 1t is bad enough to have
the suspicion borno in upon our souls
without having it paraded before our eyes
upon the streets
The stockings and knee breeches of the
past centuries, idealizod by art, look very
imposing, but when IA realistic picture of
shrunk shanks Is presented the aesthetic
quality disappears. Trousers have served
the nineteenth century well. They arc the
custom of tho ago of steam, electricity,
ironclads and newspapers. 1t is not to
be expected that the twentieth century
will go backward on tho dial Of progress
and produce generation that is enslaved
by knee brooches, garters and shoe buckles.

support of his church, and even that he
paid with grudge. One year, when he
was asked for II, he grumblod as usual,
and finished by saying:
"This prcachin ought to bo unoo' good,
for it's uncO' dearl'
Even the small sums that were promised
were by no means always paid. An an

has been known to DO ~ years In arrears
