THE FREEDOM OFF THE PRESS

There is no doubt that a great MANY
people who read newspapers like to
read stuff that is unfit for publication,
And there is also no doubt that MANY
managers OF newspapers are sordid
enough to seek to make money by
pleasing these people by laying before
them the stuff that they like to read.
Newspapers of this country and France
have perhaps been most conspicuous
in this dirty business, but of late many
of the English newspapers, still family
scrupulous in other respects, have TAX
en- to printing unelean details from the
law courts, even in cases where the pre-
siding judges have suggested that they
ought TO be withheld from the pub
lie in the interests of decency
and morality. The scandal has been
growing blacker and blacker, but the
judges have had no power to deal with
it. Now the Lord Chancellor has
brought in bill providing that where a
judge Of the high court is of opinion
that any evidence given at any trial
before that judge is of such an inde-
cent character that the publication
thereof is likely to be prejudicial to pub
lie morality, the judge may order that
such Of the evidence as is specified in
the order shall not be published. and

of such order, shall be guilty of con-

Belts That are Tempting.
1t is difficult for shoppers to resist the
charms of the pretty belts that are dis
played, but they are duplicated al

the beauty of the belt, but it enables
the commoner taste to indulge and SO
spoils the real thing for discriminating
ones. SO resist the charms if you can,

narrow colored leather affairs that
come with tiny leather-covered

An important opinion regarding the
liability of railroad companies for the

shipped has been rendered by the Court
of Appeals in Virginia The case was

Mrs. Catharine Naukam, well-to-do
widow of Buffalo, has been apprehend-
ed In an ingenious endeavor to swindle
Uncle Sam. In February she present
ed at the bank where she does business
about two-thirds of $40 bill, asking
that the bank send it through the prop
er channels to be redeemed Where
more than half of a mutilated bill is
preserved no affidavit is necessary to
secure new one from the government,
and in due course the bill was duly re-
deemed by the treasury department.
Early in March another portion of a $40
bill was received at the treasury de-
partment This time there was not
more than one third of the bill and an
affidavit accompanied it, sworn to by
Mrs. Naukam and her daughter. AIDE

was doing kitchen work the $40 bill,
which was on the table, was acciden-

part of the bill previously redeemed,
and trouble for the widow soon fol-
lowed.

In 1891 the legislature of Nebraska
passed law forhidding the ownership
of real property in that state by any
corporation not incorporated under
state laws, and ordering all property
so held forfeited to the state. The first
suit under that law has been brought
against the North Platte Land and
Water company, corporation whose
stockholders are principally English
men, and which has not Nebraska

10000 acres of valuable land, and before
they give 1t up the supreme court Of

A bachelor old and cranky was sit

o'erspread with gloom. No little ones

to attic twas as still as still could be.
No medical aid was lacking. His serv-
ants answered his ring, respectfully
heard his orders and supplied him with
everything. But still there was some
thing wanting which he could not COM

SPRING MILLINERY.
New Ideas In Hats and Bonnets Are Al
ready Appearing.

Spring millinery is always n topic
of absorbing interest, and the first adj
vaDced models are to be seen. These
indicate no lessening in the frills, fuss
and frivolity which have been charac-
teristics of the stylish headgear lately,
though it is possible that as the season
grows older this tendency may be
modified. Vast quantities of flowers,
particularly wild flowers, will be used,
and the omnPresent aigrette will lose
nothing of its present charm. The
models now shown are all elaborate,
more or less, and large, coming weSl
over the face. This importation has a
high crown of butter-colored cloth and
a brim OF white tulle rufles, standing
erect and edged with black lace. At
the base of the crown is n band of
black velvet, and one side is finished
with a black ostrich tip, a large
aigrette of black and white, and a
white tulle rosette.
Under the brim is a perfect wilder.
ness of aowers-violets, pink roses,
holly and gardenia.
A sailor hat of heliotrcpe straw has
medium high crown, with wreath
of pink roses about the brim, covered
with heliotrope tulle. On each side,
but more toward the back than the
front, is Il bunch of violets and leaves.
while across the back is big Alsatian
bow of heIiotrope taffeta ribbon,
caught with brilliant buckles. Under
the brim are couple of lunches of
pink roses. The combination is rather
daring, but shows the tendency of the
hour to what might be called exceed
ing liberality in color. Another bit of
similar daring is a little toque of vio-
lets with dark red and yellow roses
sunk in the violets, and pink and red
roses on one side, high violet aigrette
finishing the effect with a browning
touch of impudent defiance of color
conventionalities. Exquisite little
dress bOnncts are of velvet, lined with
delicate Colored silks and fairly blaz-
ing with gold, jewels and fancy pins

How to Avoid Some Common Troubles in
Butter Making.

heat the cream just high enough to
make the butter come after about 30
minutes of agitation. find some peo-
pie complain that there are specks
in the butter, says Prof Robertson. If
you allow the vessel containing the
cream to be exposed to the action of the
atmosphere a part of it's moisture will
evaporate and scum of skin will be
formed on the top of the cream. That
will be broken up by the churning, and
you will have merely small portions OF
thickened, dried cream in your butter.
Prevention is better than an attempt to
cure. Let the cream vessel be covered,
or by frequent stirring prevent the for
nation of the skin of dried cream. The
straining of the cream into the churn
is also a good measure for keeping
specks of thickened cream or curd from
finding their way into the butter.
Occasionally butter-makers find the
butter full of streaks. That condition
may come from the retention of por-
lions of the buttermiIk in the mass OF
the butter. The addition of a quart
of water for every two gallons of cream,
after the granules of butter begin to
appear and before the churning Is COM
pleted, will help to bring about speedy
and full separation of the buttermilk.
When the buttermilk has been removed
the granular butter should be washed
with cold water. In summer the tenn
perature of the water should be about
IS degrees and in winter about go de-
grees. For the washing the ehurn
should be revoIved half faster than
for the churning. Care should be
taken to prevent the granular butter
from settling on any sediment OF curdy
substance which may be left on the
