The year at Lafayette has been a

Woman suffrage has made a point
in Maine. The right of women to vote
in parish meetings of the Episcopal
church in that state was granted at
the diocesan convention, held in Port
land recently, by n vote of 16 to II.
The right to hold office in the church
is still withheld.
AT a gathering of ministers and
members of various denominations at
New York recently the question arose
as to how many in the company could
repeat the books of the Bible in their
order. Out of the two hundred or more
present, one person only, and that per-
son a woman, had the confidence to
raise her hand and acknowledge that
she was equal to the occasion.

women, were baptized by a woman
evangelist and exponent of the new
doctrine in a creek near Arthera, III.
There were fourteen men and twenty
five women converts, and fully five
thousand spectators lined the hanks.
The woman preacher, Mrs. Kate Mil
Ter, who put the converts through and
under, is fifty years old, about five feet
six inches tall, and weighs $50 pounds,
and she immersed the big batch, which
included persons of all ages and
weights, with ease, e~xactness and ex-
pedition.

Butter Eats from Whey.

Anew source of butter has been dis
covered by the Cornell college OF agri-
culture. 1t is found in the whey, a
waste product in cheese making, which
has heretofore been only fed to hogs,
and not thought very good food for
them. The discovery is a method by
which the butter fats, always present
in the whey, car be separated and
used in making butter. The separa-
tor machine is used. The saving
will be sufficient in a large cheese fac
tory to pay for a separator in a short
time. 1t means a saving to New York
dairymen of fully $1,000, 900 worth Of
butter per year. The butter made by
this process is said to be of excellent
quality.

The single daughter of house with

a number of daughters without broth
ers will often display, in a less degree,
the same proclivity. There is often,
too. a furious spirit of rivalry. Broth

learning, as children, in what they a

Cooperation In Fruit Culture.

The possibilities of united effort in
the line of fruit culture were shown in
a recent article by a member of the
Ontario Fruit Growers association. He
recommended the meeting together of
ten, twenty or fifty farmersi in a neigh
borhood. to form a cooperative soci-
ety. each one agreeing to plant within
the next five years ten acres of orchard,
the varieties to be few in number and
all suited for shipment; to properly
study and carry out the care of their
trees. and when the time should come
for fruit-bearing to unite in sending
their apples forward under their own
brand to the English market, having
their evaporation for the windfalls, and.
if necessary, their central frost and
h~eat-proof ~storehouse at the central
shipping point.

HOW SUSIE SOLVED THE PROB

to Grandma Little.
Susie was neat, pretty girl Of sixteen,
who had worked very hard to improve
her advantages at the village school that
she might be of some help to her mother
when she had completed her course. as
she had done in June. 1t was now July.
Her mother was widow, who owned
their little house and had very small
income besides. She had been COM
PEELED to be very economical since her
husband died. She had the two chill
dren to care for. and Susie to keep in
school. She was far from strong, but
could not afford help. though needing it
so much.
Grandma Little was grandma" by
courtesy only. Susie had no living
grandparents. This grandma was her
fathers aunt, who was very we'll to do
and lived with her we'll to do son. She
had always taken an interest in her
nephew and his family. and often gave
evidence of that interest in some kindly
way.
Grandma looked over her spectacles
at Susie.

said.
"Yes; good in all her studies" said
mother; land good in algebra especially"
did she receive a medal?" asked
grandma.

the girl began to protest. IF there's
