BACILLUS NO. Al.

Improve june Butter.

Improve June Butter.
Ope Of the most startling discoveries of
this end of tho century Is that microbes
aro required to make first class butter.
Bacillus No. IL is the scientific term ap-
piled to the microbe in question.
This startling microbe theory was first
advanced by "a person who came from Den.
mark to lecture on the art OF butter maxi
ing. Tie theory which was received with
scorn Is now advocated by many scientific
men, and many creameries In different
parts Of the country now invest money In
the Couture" In one state alone, Iowa,
2s creameries are using the culture.
One of the most satisfactory experiments
was made recently in Connecticut cream
cry June butter, as is we'll known, is in
flavor about tho best produced during the
year, and the effect of bacillus No. Al upon
June butter was therefore especially inter-
estiDg. Early in June, when the amount
of cream collected by the creamery was
very large, two large watts full of cream
were collected. One of these was inocu-
lated with No. Al, and the other was unln-
oculated. They were then allowed to stand
In the same room, at the same temperature,
for the same length OF time, to ripen, and
were subsequently churned. The effect Of
No. Al even hero was striking. Both lots
of cream produced as was TO be expected,
an excellent quality Of butter, but No. Al
had an aroma more pronounced and agree
able than that of the butter without the
incubation.
In both taste and odor the butter made
by incubation was decidedly superior to
that made without it, This butter was
submitted for testing to q large number of
persons, and no one had tho slightest hesi-
fancy in deciding that No. Al made tn
superior quality of butter.
Experiments In improving the quality
and flavor of butter have boon made with
ovor hundred different species of germs,
but 1t was not until the experimenter hit
upon No. Al that he found one flt to put
into his mouth.
The first attempt ut an estimate of bac-
teria in butter was made in Munich In
1891. 1t was found that there are about
1000, 600 in grain, and one pound weighs
454 grains.-New York Sun.

Defendant Takes Witness stand and Tells
Straight Tale.


straight Tale.
Boston, Dec. 24-The defense In the
trial of Mate Bran. charged with the
killing OF Captain c. /. Nash on the bark
entine Herbert Fuller. began yesterday.
The junior counsel for the accused, Asa
+. French. made a lengthy, but elo-
quent opening, and then called Bran
himself TO the witness stand to testify
In his own behalf. The direct examin-
alton was lengthy. and at the time OF
adjournment was still unfinished. Bran
told a straight story of the affair and
made but few contradictory statements.
He claimed that Monks the passenger.
advanced the theory that the second
mate killed the captain and his wife and
then killed himself. The nature of the
testimony OF Bran was to place the re-
sponsfbilty of the murder on either
Brown or the second mate.
Bran told OF the placing Of Brown in
irons and of his own experience in a
similar predicament. When being ironed
ne told the steward he was innocent,
and knew nothing of the case.
The Fuller was brought into port and
Bran placed in Jail. Before the direct
examination was completed the ad-
5ournment hour arrived. 1t is expected
that the entire day will be consumed
In the cross-examination.

TOMORROW.

IL Is not difficult duty TO wfsh one
another smerry Christmasp and even
to the missn, hrope, who may hardly
exprersa pleasant thoueht for the other
36i or $50 days in the year ths Christmas
wish is probably a real pleasure.
To actually make the Christmas merry
for others. or even for ourselves 10 not
| always SO easy. When we can do II the
treat of the Christmas wish becomes un-
bounded. there il nothing like 1.-THE
ouwer to make somebody's Cnristmas a
merry one. and to do that is about the
surest way To make our own Christmas
merry. Therein lies tho virtue OF the
gift making, and 1t has been observed
through many generations Of men that
when the gift expresses tho friendliness
OF the giver, provided especially the
friendliness OF the giyer is something
much thought of by the recipient OF the
gift, the Christmas wish thus expressed
is more highly valued than precious
stones. There are no statistics to demon
strste this but we believe a very general
impression exists to that effect.
And because so many OF us who are in
positicn TO be messurably merry all
the year round are conscious tDat not a
few OF us can not make merry tor even
this one blessed day In the year, it has be-
come conmendabls fashion for TIE
former class to more tnan ordinarily put
themselves out at this season to so pro-
vide tnat for this day at least as many OF
the latter class as may be reacned snail
have cause to make merriment, too. And
thus the spirit of sweet charity asserts
itself with less of timidity on the part Of
the party OF the FIRST part and less OF en-
barrassment on tha part of tho party o
the second part than customarily marks
its display. Ana while friendship de-
'mands only the souvenir OF its con-
stancy, charity calls for the more materi-
al evidence OF Christmas wishes to the end
that the vesicle, OF the body shall be
cheered as well as the cookies of the heart
warmed.
And inasmuch, after all, as the great
majority OF US are m ore fortunate all the
year round than the balance of our little
world 1t is believed that only sparse few
will find 1t necessary to deny themselves
the fine privilege of doing little some
thing in kindly way for somebody else.
For most OF us, thank God, the hearth |
will burn brightly tomorrow and the
table will be com mfortab,y laden. Bu. how |
cheerful the firo can really be and how |
appetizing the table, will not be fully ap-
preciated unless we who are to enjoy them |
have contributed something to some
body ese's hearth and table that need |
helping out to make them anything like |
as cheerful and abundant ~ our own.
The News wishes all its readers
"meiry Christmas" 1t has the nearr to |
express the same good wishes to all the
world, not excepting the spaniard In
Cuba and the Turk in Armenia, to the
former of whom, at least, the meaning CT
the festival ought to appeal with particu-
lar significance. We trust that oil our
readers will make Christmas merry for
somebody elsa and thus be absolutely
certain Of having right merry Christ.

Secure in pleasant groves OF peace
But tyrants waste her blood and tears,
Brave martyr OF four hundred years.

A CHRISTMAS hymn.


By ERNEST Gro. WESLEY.
OF the Virgin lowly
II our Saviour born;
Jesus, the All-holy,
On earth's Christmas morn.
Wondrous humiliation,
When TO man He came;
Wondrous incarnation,
Blessed be His name.
To the Shepherds keeping
Watch o'er fiocks by night,
Angels sang their greeting,
Robed in dazzling light:
Sang their tidings glorious,
Hesvsn's sweetest song;
Sang cf peace, victorious,
Waited for 50 long.
Gladly we adore Him
Who was born today:
Mi2kty Lord, We praise Him
Who in manger lay.
In the highest glory
Hosts angelic sing.
We would tell the story,
We would crown II i'm King
JOY bells loudly ringing
Herald MORNINGS dawn:
Life and pardon ringing,
Since earth's Lord is born.
In His name believing,
Neyermore a tear;
OF His life receiving,
Nevermore n fear.
