IODINE ON FINGERS.
Treatment of the Hands of PianOforte
Pupils Who Practice.


A modest appearing young woman
entered drug store on Madison avenue
one morning recently, and, walking to
the end Of the counter nearest the pre-
scription department., mutely held out
both hands toward clerk who CHANGED
to be standing in that particular place.
The clerk, equally mute, reached be-
hind a screen and brought out blue
glass bottle, from which brush han
die protruded. After stirring the con-
tents of the bottle with the brush for a
few seconds the clerk daintily brushed
the tips Of the young woman s fingers
with the mixture, leaving dark stain
around the top of each finger nail. With
pleasant nod of her head and low
murmuring thanks the young woman
quickly withdrew from the store and
the blue glass bottle was put back in it's
hiding place.
Observing puzzled expression on the
face of an old patron of the store who
had come in to get cigar, the clerk
said, Iodine
"What for?" asked the smoker.
prevents the fingers from getting
sore, replied the clerk. "She is from
the musical conservatory, where she
practices on the piano three or four
hours day. In order to prevent the
finger nails from coming in contact with
the ivory keys she has them cut very
short, and we apply iodine to take the
soreness out of the ends of the fingers
after they have been subjected to three
or four hours of pounding Most piano
players, you will observe, have their
finger nails cut to the quick SO that no
clicking sound is emitted when they
strike the keys. We keep a bottle of TO-
dine and brush for the special use of
the pianoforte pupils of the conserva-
tory. They come in here for treatment

the month. New York Times.

Welded TO THEIR NOTIONS.
iGngIishmen Do Not Like the Way
American Butter Is Packed.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE results of
the first shipment of butter ever made by
this government to foreign markets, this
time to England, have been communicated
to Secretary of Agriculture Wilson in an
official report from the experts who man
aged the experimental expectation. The
data is of significance to dairying interests
and as an Indication of what may be ex-
pected in the development of markets
abroad for these products. The report says
it Is evident that unless the retailers can
be reached without much extra expense in
transportation. so that better relative prices
can be realized, Eastern creameries cannot
yet afford TO consider the question of ex-
porting their products Two lots of butter
were sent made at Ames, Ia, and Cornish,
n II. All were made late in April, be
tween hay and grass the most difficult
season for making butter Of high flavor
therefore, was not expected to give very
satisfactory results IT'S to quality Of product
or financially. Its main object was to serve
as pioneer and suggest points for improv-
ing the management of trial exports to fol-
low The lots We're respectively, fourteen
and ten days from the creameries:
The most interesting feature of the Lon
don sales is that the English merchants are
welded to their hunderweight d12 pounds)
as a unit OF measure, ana 70 the halt nun
dredweight for a package Of butter. Pack
ages exported at half hundredweights
should contain as nearly fifty-six pounds
as possible or what will weigh that in the
English market. The rate of shrinkage re-
mains to be determined. Opinions of Eng
ish judges indicate that one-quarter ounce
of salt to the pound of butter will be enough
to use for this market. Cubical boxes wece
much preferred by the wholesalers, who
paid a considerable difference for it in that
shape. Small packages were not in favor
with them and although scoring highest
as to quality, the thirty-pound tubs sold as
quarters" of twenty-eight pounds, brought
only ia cents per pound, and five-po9nd
VIII 1lesalers paid Is is cents for the Iowa
butter in cubical boxes, and for the iden-
teal boxes in Welsh or sixty-pound cream
cry tubs, they paid only 1712 cents. besides
the gain of at least four pounds per tub in
taking these tubs at fifty-six pounds net
weight. One merchant, who, as an excep-
ton, took two tubs at actual net weights
paid only 1914 cents, paying Is and Is 10
cents at the same time for two cubicCl
boxes of the same butter.

Won HOLLMANN RESIGNS
ADMIRAL Won TIRPITZ ENTERS THE
GERMAN EMPEROR'S CABINET.
DIR. Mf0ueI Now the Chief Spokesman
of the Kaiser-Queen Victoria
at Windsor.

BERLIN. June lit is officially an
nounced that Admiral Won Holman has
resigned the post of chief of the Navy De-
partment and that Admiral Won T1rpitz
has been appointed to succeed him.
Emperor William gave an audience TINS
n1prning to DR.. Won Boetticher, minister
&c the Department of the Interior and vice
president of the Prussian Ministry, ana
then started for Cologne to unyeil the
statue of Emperor William l. Dr. Won
Boettcher will also be present at the GER
emory. From Cologne the Emperor Will go
on a cruise in the North sea- touching at
Norwegian ports. This will continue Until
the END of July, while the visit of the En-
peror to the Gear at st. Petersburg has
been arranged for the beginning of August
In the face of this prolonged absence OF
the Emperor from the capital it is generally
taken for granted that the resignation OF
DR.. Won Boetticher in favor of DR.. MIGUEL
and the relieving of Prince Hohenlohe of
all but ornamental functions have already
been virtually decided upon, although the
formal announcement may not be made for
some time to come. 1t is thought next to
impossible that Prince Hohenlohe will re-
sign his important functions until after he
has returned from the visit with Emperor
William to st. Petersburg. DR.. Won Boet-
ticher has not proved successful in infiu-
encing the Reichstag in favor of govern
ment measures, and in other ways he has
fallen in the KaiserS estimation. Prob
ably he will be appointed president of
Schleswig- Holstein. Other subsidiary
changes are rumored But the important
fact is that DR.. MIGUEL, as representing the
EmperOr's personal policy, becomes the
chief spokesman of the government and
that Rear Admiral Tirpitz is expected to
reintroduce his big naval scheme during
the September session of the Reichstag.
