What Is Cooking Butter?"

One of the laws of Massachusetts reg
ulating the sale of oleomargarine pro-
vides fine for anyone who sells oleo-
margarine to any person who asks for
butter. Recently an agent of the dairy
bureau Of that state went into a store
in Holyoke and called for butter. For
the purpose Of conveying information
to the salesman as to the kind of butter
which he wanted, he qualified his re-
quest by calling for cooking butter"
The merchant furnished him oleomar-
garine, and was convicted in the dis
trict court. His case was appealed and
tried in the superior court of Hamp-
den county. Judge Hopkins instructed
the jury, says the New England Farmer,
that IL they found that cooking but
ter" was an article of commerce, sep
arate and distinct from butter, they
should acquit the defendant If, how
ever, they found that cooking butter"
was merely kind or variety Of butter,
and that oleomargarine therefore was
sold when butter was called for, they
should return verdict Of guilty. The
jury after struggling with the case all
the afternoon, finally were unable to
agree.

WANTED TO BORROW HIM.

Queer Request Two Women Made OF o
PhiladeIphian.
A genial Philadelphian, who for OBJ
vious reasons does not care to have his
name printed on this occasion, secured
a parlor car seat on an express train
for Reading few days ago, and as he
was about to pass through the gates
was surprised to hear himself accosted
In feminine tones with the somewhat
startling question: "Please, mister.
could 1 borrow you for a while?"
Looking around, he found two
Duxom women, who hastily and hesi-
tatingly explained that they were rid
Ing on pass made out in the name Of
gentleman ard his wife, and, as the
gentleman was not present, they
wanted the genial-looking citizen to
place his bought ticket at the disposal
OF one lady and take the other one
under his wing, while he personated
the absent owner Of the pass.
Which is my wife?" he inquired
with an inward qualm, lest his own abb
sent better half should ever hear the
story.
You can take your choice, SIR" said
the lady in search of an escort, and he
promptly did so by tucking the arm of
the youngest fair one under his own
and leading her into the car. The
couple proved to be right jolly travelling
companions, and the citizens only re-
greet in the transaction was due to
fear that the story might leak out and
get home ahead Of him. But it didn't.

engaged to Miss Virginia Fair, daugh-

After much anxiety and patient study
l believe l have an infallible method Of
getting early drones. Every expert
enced bee keeper knows that the queen,
If allowed to form her brood nest &C
cording to natures way, will make 1t
globe shaped. She will begin in the
center and gradually enlarge it. Now,
my method of getting early drones il
plain and simple. A colony, to raise
drones, should contain about three
pounds Of bees and about five combs
each. One of these combs should be
sealed full Of honey. and one of the
middle combs should be about half
drone comb. The hive in which these
combs are placed must be contracted
SO the five combs will fit 1t. The queen
is started to laying by the operator I'M
Gaping some Of the honey on the mid
die comb about the size of the palm of
your hand Is sufficient, and on the two
combs next to the middle one smaller
space should be uncapped. Care should
be taken not to uncap any of the drone
comb till the queen Is getting very
prolific. In starting the brood next the
cluster should not be farther from the
drone comb than one-half an inch.
When the queen fills the uncapped cells
with eggs, the bees will begin to uncap
the honey to make room for the queen.
If she is a good queen she will fill every
empty cell, drone cells not excepted.
There is no need Of feeding il the above
plans are strictly followed-C n

He Was a Little Lamb,

The Rev. DR.. Meredith, well-known
clergyman, tries to cultivate friendly
relations with the younger members OF
his flock. In recent talk to his Sun
day-school he urged the children to
speak to him whenever they met. The
next day dirty-faced urchin, smoking
cigarette and having a generally dis
reputable appearance, accosted him in
the street with:
Hello, Doctor"
The clergyman stopped and cordial
ly inquired:
"And who are you, sir?"
I'm one OF your little lambs" re-
piled the boy, affably. Zine day."
And, fitting his hat on his head, he
staggered off, leaving the worthy d.
vine speechless with amazement.

Lowelrs Advice to Young Men.

He had enjoyed heartily his own fire.
quent reading Of the works Of the great
authors he wrote about, and he was able
to convey some of this enjoyment to
his own readers, and had to explain to
them the reasons for his liking. His
favorite of all was the mighty F1oren-
line poet, Dante, whom Lowell steadily
studied from early life. Indeed, the ad-
vice he gave to young men seeking Gull
ture was to find the great writer whom
they most appreciated, and to give
themselves to the constant perusal Of
this great writer, growing up to him
slowly, and discovering gradually that
to understand him adequately would
force them sooner or later to learn many
Of the things best worth learning.

THE LAST OF HIS RACE.

His Untimely Fate.

His Untimeiy Fate.
Scared by arrows, wounded by bull

valley and from river to river, thu
whilom monarch has at last found 8
covert and breathing spell for day
He has skulked like wounded wolf
he has crouched like fox In his lair
The cry of vulture lowering high
above had made him tremble-he, who
had driven the dreaded grizzly out oil
his path more than once, and whose
sharp, stout horns had sent more than
one Indian pony to his death! All
But the cries of the coyote have
brought company! They come sneak
ing out OF thicket and grass and crevice
until there are dozen. The youngest
calf of herd would not fear them
and yet their angry snarls make the
old monarch tremble! The sun seems
to drop into lower notch as the old
monarch moves softly about to snatch
a bite here and there, but always keep
ing his eye on the pack. As the crav-
ing Of hunger becomes partly satisfied,
the fire comes back to his eyes, and he
even gives his head defiant toss. If
their bowling brings the savage wolf,
he will die Nightingale will die game.
He has fought them a hundred battles,
and never suffered defeat. Here they
come! He looks up to find himself al
most encircled. They are hungry and
gaunt. Their eyes blaze. and fsAm
falls from their lips as they close in on
him. Now, watch him! He is no longer
the fugitive-the craven. trembling at
every sound. His head Is held high;
there Is royal fire in his great eyes,
and he utters low below Of defiance
and paws the earth as a challenge for
them to come on. Crack! Crash!
Hurrah! The bull totters, sways to
and fro, and falls to the earth, shot
through the heart. A man leaps out of
the thicket, waves his hat and gun,
and cheers the success of his shot.

twilight and growl and snap at each

Weakening the Swarms.-By instinct
bees store their honey Immediately
above their brood, and never below.
During good yield they often en-
croach upon the brood space and limit
breeding. This tends to q weakening
of the swarm. IL combs are inverted
it places the brood at the top and the
honey at the bottom. On discovering
this the bees will remove the honey
and carry it to the surplus arrangement
in the upper story where 1t IL wanted.
Finding the lower part Of comb
empty the queen will Immediately de-
post eggs in the cells and thus in
crease the brood, and eventually the
stock of bees. This is advantageous in
asmuch as an increase of bees will give
corresponding increase in honey
gathered.

exhausted and 1900 gallons of milk

therefore, received claim from Mr..

building and the loss of 1890 gallons

along. They regulated and corrected the
action of the kidneys, thereby removing the
pain and soreness from my back do not
hesitate to fully endorse Doan's Kidney Pills.
They have proved in my case to be good
thing"
Nature has provided a certain amount of
work for every organ of the human body !;
overtax them and disease eventually follows.
There is not one portion Of our organism
that is so overworked as the Kidneys; on
them is placed the important function of
filtering the blood of the impurities which
naturally form in the regular action of life
and digestion. The kidneysare consequently
termed the sewerage Of the system; clog up
this sewer, and the blood becomes tainted
with poisonous uric acid. which brings on
disease in many forms. The back is the first
to show this stoppage. From there comes
the warning note; it should be needed, and
the kidneys receive prompt attention.
Donn's Kidney Pills will right the action of
the kidneys quickly, relieve the hack of pains
and aches ond cure all troubles Of the kid
news and bladder.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for sale by all
dealers-price 80 cents. Mailed by Foster
