deep, as shown in the cut. Of course the
ice box must have tight metal floor,
sloped to carry away the water through
q pipe soldered in at one corner. The
other side of the ice box extends to
within ten inches of the ceiling. The
current of air is indicated by the ar
rows. This permits the cold air to drop
down behind the shelves and pass over
the butter. If it becomes warm it rises
to the ceiling, finds its way into the ice
box and, after being chilled, again de-
sends.
To prevent the ice falling over the
eight-inch side there should be some
Stats arranged so as to throw any drip
back into the pan. To regulate the
temperature hang ten-inch board in
such way that the ice box may be
closed, or partly closed, tc retard circu-

Pneumatic Tubes for Post Delivery In
large Cities.

Pneumatic Tubes for Post Delivery In
large Cities.
It would not be surprising, says Har-
per's Round Table, to find Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington connected by tubes, ell
abling letters and parcels to be for
warded in as many hours as it now
takes days. The telegraph companies
will be seriously affected by the new
system.
The operation is very simple. The
letters are placed in leather tube or
carrier, which fits snugly into the pneu-
matte tube. Then blast of air from be-
hind, or the suction Of air from the
front, or a combination of the two
methods, forces the carrier and its con-
tents forward. As the friction soor
wears out the leather carriers, Ame--
lean genius will be called upon to In.
vent a metal carrier on "ball bearings"
With leather tubes about 90 per cent. Of
the power applied is lost in overcoming
friction and in waste, only ten per cent.
of the total force applied being used to
propel the carrier.
The charge for sending pneumatic
letters in Paris was Is cents each in
1879, and the territory covered was but
a small part of the city. To-day every
part of Paris is reached by the tubes,
and the charge is ten cents per letter,
the same as our special delivery. Nine
varieties of the Paris pneumatic letters
are collected Probably many of the
readers have one or more of them. They
bear map of the city ON the face OF the
envelope, showing the different sections
served by this post. The Berlin and
Vienna pneumatic letters are simpler in
design. There are no special designs on
the London envelopes

Composition of Filled Cheese.

Many people have somewhat vague
idea of the mode of making and compo-
sition of filled cheese. 1t is described
to the committee at Washington as be-
ing a sort of lard cheese, without par
ticle of butter fat. In its manufacture
20 rer cent. of skinned milk, and 30
pes cent. of neutral oil, made from hog
leaf, or unrendered lard, is used To
this is added certain coloring or flavor
ing matter, then the rennet is pat in,
and it is made into cheese. The cost is
approximately AZ cents pound to
manufacture. 1900

BEAT THE LOST-PARCELS MAN.

How q Suburban Woman Secured . Nice
New Umbrella.
"Pretty smart lot of women on them
Gaiena division trains" said the lost
parcels custodian at the Northwestern
depot to Chicago Post man.
''Why?"
Zone of them comes in here yester-
day and beats me out of an umbrella"
replied the custodian, wrapping up a ian
and handkerchief and labelling them.
"How?"
"She remembers that the last hard
rain was July 81, and yesterday when
the sun is shining she comes in here and
asks me if any umbrella is left OF the
train that day. OF course there is.
Find some every rain.. I say: Yes;
what train did you leave yours on?'
She says the Elmhurst train. Now
that don't tell anything. She says she's
going to her sister at Elmhurst, and she
don't know this road at all. All the
trains are Elmhurst trains. She's got
me.
Then says: What kind of an UNI
brella?'
And she says it's new. She can't
recollect how the handle went, but she'd
know if she sees it. Now, what can I
do? show her the umbrellas brought
in that day, and she picks up the best
one and she says: That's it, And it
is"
How do you know it isn't her UNI
brella?"
cause to-day the traffic manager
sees her on the train with that umbrella,
and hears her tell another woman how
she got it, and he fetches it in here just
as five other women break in here with
the same game. Did they get UNI
breilas? Well, no-not till after the
next rain"

PRIVATE CUSTOMERS.
Why Mrs. lockwood Prefers Their Trade
to store Business.

W
to store Business.
/ have heard complaints from some
who have tried furnishing butter to pri-
vate customers. They say their Gus
toners are over particular and given to
fault finding. In short, that it is more
trouble to cater to their tastes than The
butter is worth. In all my experience
I have not had the least trouble in this
respect. Our customers all understand
that if a any time crock of butter does
not suit they are expected to return it
at our expense and it will be replaced
by another. / think it is no more than
right that person paying such price
for butter should get what they want,
and have found none who are any more
exacting than l should be under the cir
cuInstances. 1 may have been partic-
ularly fortunate in obtaining unusually
desirable customers, but certainly
there is no fault or complaint. In our
correspondence year after year, I have
ever received most courteous treatment
from both men and women. There has
been nothing which would indicate the
difference, socially speaking, between
the wealthy patron and the poor
farmers wife, who supplies them with
their dairy butter. We take great pains
to make the butter look neat, and, al
though butter in a crock does not APP
pear to the eye in the way that printed
butter does, some difference is discerni-
ble even there. 1t is the practice of
some butter-makers to tie bits of old
muslin over tie butter. This is alto
gether too suggestive of its former
period of usefulness to please the fas-
tidious person. 1t is better to buy
parchment paper, which comes cut in
circles u fit the different sizes of crooks,
for this purpose. Pack the crock full
to overfowing, then with piece of wire
cut off the butter directly at the top
edge of the crock. Remove the surplus,
place circle of the parchment over it
and smooth down and see how neat it
looks. In summer sprinkle a layer
of fine salt over the top to prevent the
heat from melting the butter and soil
ing the paper. We buy new light yell
low paper to tie over the outside and
think it looks much better than old
newspapers. The name and address was
formerly written on an express tag and
tied to the crock, but our express agent
favors writing it upon the top with pen
and ink, as the tags are liable to get torn
off IN transit. Always give full weight,
and little more if anything. When you
arc getting big price for butter you
can afford to be generous.-Mrs. E. E.
lockwood, in Farmers Review.

BIG RACES.
Some Of the Worlds Best PAGERS VIII Be

Some Of the Worlds Best PAGERS WIN Be
Seen on the Ground.
w. ". p, the great PAGER that was
the sensation of the Detroit meeting of
last month. has been booked by Presi-
dent Weaver for the state fair. He
was authorized by the racing commit
tee q month ago to secure the best star
event possible to be added to the rae
ing program already arranged, and this
is the result. w. w. p is regarded by
many horsemen as likely to carry off
the highest honors OF the turf before
the season is over. At Detroit, 50, 500
was offered for the free-for-all pace;
81, 900 of the amount was offered to the
winner for the first heat, the beaten
horses to race, best two in three, on a
subsequent day for the balance of the
money, Sl,5OO 1t is needless to say
that the first heat was a warm one, the
most exciting of the meeting. w. w.
P. won cleverly in 2:o5H, defeating
among others Frank Agan, who at Co
lumbus, a week later, defeated Patch
en- and Gentry. making the fastest
fourth heat on record.
W. w. P. is to be shown at the fair
on two days. He is to be put against
the worlds wagon record. 2:0s15. and
the record of the track. 2:O7, made by
Nancy Hanks. Frank B. LOOMS, his
owner. is confident he will accomplish
both undertakings, for he is in fine
fettle and is doing his best work.
Another star feature President Wea-
yer has booked for three days the state
fair is decided novelty. 1t is Marion
Miles, the phenomenal PAGER, with a
record of going mile in 2:12I with
out strap or prompter of any kind.
The mare is harnessed to sulky and
without bride, reins or driver goes
around the track like wind without a
break. 1t is likely that the entries for
the 2:os pace will also include several
horses of national reputation. The en-
tries close Friday. A purse for a three
year old trot has also been added and
there are to be several running races
not yet announced.

A MARKED ADVANCE.
Average Country Road Better Now Than
1t Was . Few Years Ago.

1t Was . Few Years Ago.
At recent public meeting not far
from here a good dominic, rising to
speak, prefaced his remarks by saying
that there ought to be added to the
ltany an appeal like this: From lum-
bago and newly worked roads, good
Lord, deliver u.s." Riding over the
country at this season of the year the
wayfaring man may well join the
brother in this earnest petition; and
if power could be given to the horse to
speak as did that patient animal of sa-
cred history in Balaam's time such n
chorus would arise as would disturb
the dreams of the would-be legislators
who play with the question of good
roads at our state capitals every WIN
ter, and arouse them to better sense
of their duty in this respect than seems
to have impressed itself upon them as
yet.
Still, it is a far cry from the old way
of working the roads with the plows
and old-fashioned scraper to the mod
ern well-made road machine. Save in
some of the districts where men still
declare that there is no true way TO
improve the roads except to turn up the
mud and stones aong the side and haul
them into the track with a scraper,
there certainly has been a marked adj
vance within the last few years. 1t is
true we have not yet learned to use the
road machine as it should be used. Its
capabilities are not at present fully I'M
derstood oy all. A frst-class machine
in the hands of a good man will certain
ly make a good road. 1t is not all of
roadmaking, however, to haul dirt.
clods and stones into the highway.
The machine must be followed up close
" by men with rakes to remove all loose
stones, and they by teams to draw all
these away. When thus made smooth,
if the pike be made wide enough, the
result will be much better road.
The use of gravel is also growing In
favor. Some of our worst pieces Of
road have been greatly improved by
this means. The intelligent overseer
wills study his ''beat" and the available
material, then act accordingly. Road
making is an art just as much as that
of building railways. When we come
to understand this, and that the better
our roads are the more valuable our
lands, there will be less killing time
when the season of the year comes to
work out our tax. 1t is for the interest
of everybody to have good roads. We
all use them and ought to take pride
in maintaining them. But if we will
not, and it seems to be fact that some
men can never be coaxed into looking
out for their own interests in this mat.
