Oppose State Aid.

A correspondent of the New Orleans
Picayune interviewed number of citi-
zens of Monroe on the subject of state
aid for drought sufferers:
Mr. Sholars said that from personal
observation he was satisfied that the
disaster to certain sections of north
Louisiana resulting from the
drought had not been over
estimated; that as the sufferers were
not able to obtain work, it was
imperative that aid should be extended
to them; that he did not favor state
aid because he did not think that the
use Of public funds for charitable OBJ
jccts, however meritorious, was a
proper exercise Of the functions of
the government, but " the gov
ernor said ii was one that called for
the exercise of charity on the part
of those able TO give that he was per
fectly satisfied that all contributions
could be secured from the trade cen
ters; to use any of the public funds for
the relief Of the drought sufferers, as
one of the senators from this district,
he would not vote to approve it.
Mr., Head believes it would establish
a bad precedent for the state to render
aid when there was plenty of work
for the people TO do While
prices paid for the same il not
much, at the same time it is
enough to keep them from starving.
Many Monroe business men believe
the sufferers should be assisted by the
state, but not until other resources
were exhausted The principal food
product needed is -four, meal and corn.
The Monroe board Of trade will take
the matter up and do all in their power
towards helping those living in the
drougbt.stricken region.
DOES HIM AN lgJUsrfCE.
Senator Sholars says that the above
interview does him an injustice. The
Impression lie intended to convey was
that II the governor saw fit to use any
Of the public funds for the relief Of
drought sufferers, as one OF the sem
ators Of this district he r0UM vote TO
approve it.

The Best Money.

If the best" money is the dearest
money let us make it 100 times dearer
than it is now. 1t can very easily be
done. Just pass a law that the gold
dollar shall be the only legal tender.
and that it shall contain $3.50 grains of
standard gold and the thing is done.
In the happy days that would follow it
would take 125,000 bushels of corn or
10000 bushels of wheat to pay a hun
dred dollars of taxes or interest.
Would WI not have prosperity then ?
Who would own the world and all
there is In it? It would take all the
wheat and corn or cattle in a whole
country to pay a debt of $4,000. But
that kind of money would be the "best"
money according to Sherman-McKinley
logic.-Independent, Lincoln, Nebr.

La Nature contains a short note in
which the horse power of a cannon is
calculated. An Italian cannon of 100
tons with a charge of $50 pounds of
powder and a shot weighing about D.
600 pounds, will give an initial velocity
of 52S meters per second; the length Of
time during which the powder acts is
less than one-hundredth Of a second,
from which it follcEs that the horse
power developed is about 100000.
The writer adds that after 100 shots
the cannon is put out of service and
its total active life is, therefore. only
one second In large modern cannon
the horse power runs as high as 24.000,-
600. II the writer had carried out
these calculations still farther, he
would have found that. after all, this
100000 horse power does not repre-
sent a large amount of energy, as it
would be just sufficient to run 81 in
candescent lamps for only one day.

Simple Rules for Butter. laakino.

Simple rules for butter-making have
been issued in a revised form by the
Royal Agricultural Society of England,
and are printed as follows in our Eng
lish contemporaries. They are put in
the following forcible manner:
Prepare churn, butter worker, wood
en- hands and sieve as follows: az

Stop churning Immediately the but

The butter should now be like grains
of mustard seed. Pour in a small
quantity of cold water Il pit. water to
qts cream to harden the grains. and
give a few more turns to the churn,
gently. Draw off the buttermilk, Civ
ing plenty of time for draining. Use
a straining- cloth placed over hair
sieve, so as to prevent any loss, and
wash the butter in the churn with
plenty of cold water; then draw off the
water, and repeat the process until
the water comes off quite clear.
To brine butter, make a strong
brine, two or three pounds of salt to
one gallon of water. Place straining-
cloth over mouth of churn, pour in
brine, put lid on churn, turn sharply
half dozen times, and leave from ten
to fifteen minutes Then lift the but
ter out of churn into sieve, turn but
ter out on worker, leave 1t a few min
utes to drain, and work gently till all
superfiuous moisture is pressed out
To dry-salt butter, place butter on

carefully sprinkle salt over the sur

your hands
