It is known that the flavor OF butter
and of different kinds Of cheese is due
to various bacterial ferments and there
is good reason to suppose that better
product and greater uniformity would
be attained by the use of pure cultures
Of the species upon ) which special
favors depend. I understand that in
this country quite a number of dairies
are now using pure cultures of certain
bacillus bacillus Al of Comm for CIV
ing flavor to their product. 1t is prob
able that similar methods will soon be
introduced in the cheese making indus
try.
Agricultural chemists predict that in
the near future cultures of the nitrify-
ing bacteria of the soil will be made on
a large scale for the use of farmers, who
will add them to lnanures for the pur-
pose of fixing the ammonia, or perhaps
will distribute them directly upon the
soil. Should this prove to be a success

BUILDINGS THAT PUZZLE.
Their Origin and Uses Have Been Mys-

Their Origin and Uses Have Been Mys-
terry for Centuries.
For centuries past the ingenuity OF
learned men has been exercised on the
Noraghe of Sardinia, but to this day
they have no more been able to discover
that origin of these famous buildings
than had the Romans before them.
They were unable to say whether they
were used for tombs or fire temples. for
trophies of victory, for observatorles.
or merely for human dwelling places
More than 5000 Of them have been
counted in Sardinia, standing on arti-
fetal mounds 30 or 60 feet high, and
measuring at the base 100 to 300 feet
in circumference. They are usually in
the shape of towers, built with immense
blocks of stone, roughly hewn with
hammers. No cement is used in their
structure, nor is there any inscription
to indicate their origin.
A low entrance at one side leads into
a long and lofty passage, communicat-
ing by very low door with domed
chamber beyond. On either side of this
small cells have been formed in the
walls, spiral staircase rising steeply
from the dome, leads to another, but
somewhat smaller chamber above, and
again beyond this to be broken top OF
the Noraghe.
Nothing has been found within these
buildings, and to this day their exist
ence is q mystery.
In the same vicinity other buildings
have been discovered which are no less
puzzling to antiquaries. The general
opinion is that they were built for the
purpose OF burying giants. - London

AOueer Arctic BIRD.

The modern idea of feminine rights

says, "is as coy and retiring as the most

then to that, even flying to the opposite

fair one who has chosen him from his
fellows, and there is no escape. AT

five had their eyes put out and five were
assassinated. And these misdeeds were
not the actions of single groups of agi-
tators who made i'll use of q passive peo-
pie, but they were the passions of the

peated oaths and inciting tumults of
which the doges were only too often the

Bandits, brigands boastingof escutch-

that out of hundred or even a thou

five mobiles, because to these five can be
traced the origin, the persistency, the
impunity and the audacity Of the

Sufficiently Rewarded.

The latest joke at the expense Of the
French Society for the Protection OF
Animals is to the following effect: A
countryman armed with an immense
club presents himself before the presi-
dent of the society and claims the first
prize. He is asked to describe the
act of humanity on which he founds
the claim.
II saved the life of a wolf," replies
the countryman. II might have easily
killed him with this bludgeon," and he
swings his weapon in the air, to the
immense discomfort of the president.
"But where was this w olf?" inquiries
the latter; ''what had he done to
you?"
"He had just devoured my wife," was
the reply.
The president reflects an instant and
then says: "My friend, am of opin-
ion that you have been sufficiently re-
warded."

- spot. over Doe., Eyes.

These spots are believed ia afford an
example of protective markings per-
petuated by natural selection. They
seem to have been acquired at com
paratively recent period, when the dog
had. become semi-domesticated. The
original dog was red, and did not pos
eess these spots. When he slept he hid
himself from possible enemies. but this
the semi-domesticated dog could not al
ways do. Now, when the color changed
by domestication and selected breed
ing. and dogs became pied and black,
those which had spots over their eyes
would look, when asleep. as though
their eyes were open and still on the
watch. Therefore, their enemies would
be deceived, and they would be less lia-
BILE to be killed during sleep than dogs
which had not such spots. Thus they
survived, and transmitted their pecui-
iarity to their offspring. These spots
are supposed to be the most, if not the
only, permanent markings on dogs

SNAKES TOILETS.
How the Reptiles Dispose of Their Cast

How the Reptiles Dispose of Their Cast
On Garments.
It seems rather funny to speak OF
snakes as dressing and undressing, yet
this they certainly do quite as fully
as human beings; although it is true
that their wardrobe requires fewer and
less variety of articles than ours. After
long voyage, after a seasons retire
nIent or Information, and on various
other occasions they find themselves in
need of new dress to replace their
old and soiled garments, and they i'm
mediately proceed to evolve one. They
are very modest creatures, never she'd
ding their clothes until they are fully
clad in their new ones.
Prior to shining forth resplendent in
fresh attire serpent seeks retire
ment if possible. He becomes blind for
few days, refuses food and appears
to be in melancholy state generally;
perhaps, like some human beings, he
has worked too hard on his new suit.
When all is completed and ready for
exhibition, he begins at the lips to ex-
tricate himself from the old dress, rub
bing against whatever may be in his
way to expedite the matter. The fact
part of the process is apt to be rather
tedious, but as he progresses he works
more rapidly; when he reaches the
ribs they assist the operation, until
finally the old skin is shed entire.
turned inside out, and Mr.. Snake revels
in his new suit.
His eyes, covered by perfectly trans
parent layer of cuticle, are bright and
beautiful. It is only while this cuticle
is forming over the eye that the SER
pent is blind.
Snakes leave their cast-off garments
entirely whole, whether they are sew
cral feet in length or number of yards.
They never wash them and keep them
for second best, but leave them just
where they happen to shed them, with
| the most extravagant prodigality. What
pity it is that they have not some poor
| relations or poverty-stricken acquaint-
ances to whom they might donate their
| old clothes.
Their toilet is made in the spring,
but not alone at that time; any unusual
/ circumstance is apt to make them wish
for new suit of clothes, beginning
| when they are infants from one to two
weeks old. Some are so fastidious as
to require change once month, and
even oftener, while others, more plebe-
| ian, will wear the same garments for
six months.
Sometimes snakes are SO very mod
est and shy that they select the night
for changing their clothes; others, who
are tanner, are quite willing to do it in
broad daylight. When the process OF
shedding the skin is completed, snakes
Immediately recover their activity, as
they have been languishing for few
days. Their appetites are sharper now,
and the poisonous kinds seem to have
acquired an additional supply of venom.
Their eyes are bright, their colors are
vivid and rish, and their snakeships
seem to feel very comfortable and con-
| tented in every way.-Detroit Free

BY A ROUNDABOUT ROUTE.

Course Of . Missionary's Letter from
Pitcairn to Tahiti
In the possession of one OF the mis-
sionary party recently arrived from the
south seas on the Adventist vessel Pit
cairn, is letter which has an inter-
esting and unique history. It travelled
about $4,000 miles, while the distance
between the mailing point and its desti-
nation is but 1900 miles, and it went
the most direct route possible and did
not miscarry at any stage OF its jour
ney. The travels of the letter sent
from Pitcairn island to Tahiti show,
as nothing else can, the complete iso-
lation of the little Pacific paradise
founded by John Adams. Tahiti is only
about six days sail from Pitcairn, and
is the source whence lovesick Pitcairn
ers take their wives. But letter-writing,
although it forms an important part
of the courtship. is generally confined
to one letter, as when the answer is
received it is generally the arrival of
the bride. Except small vessel or .
man-of-war consents to carry letters
between the two points, which oppor-
tunity rarely occurs, the only remain
ing hope is from q passing ship, bound
from San Francisco or Portland to Eu-
rope. A gentleman now residing in
Oakland was once deputed to carry the
Pitcairn mail from Tahiti, and he told
the story of how it was done:
':We left San Francisco in the ship
City of Hankow, and were of Pitcairn
island on Christmas day. Only about
one ship makes the island, and as we
should lose no ground by waiting
few hours we hove to and signaled to
Adams point. Then the two boats
Queen Victoria and Admiral Drew came
off with two loads of vegetables. Gov.
Mccoy also came off and asked us to
carry some letters to Tahiti. We rather
smiled at first, but when he produced
seven letters and told US that there
was no other way to send them we
consented, and after paying for our
fruit and vegetables we started on our
trip. Those letters were the cause of
a good deal Of Inconvenience. When
the captain landed at England he took
the letters ashore and went to the post
master. Then he was informed that he
must make an affidavit and must apply
to the postmaster-general for IA cents,
the tariff for carrying letters from
countries not in the postal union.
Eventually the letters were landed in
the Falmouth post Office, after we had
carried them about $4,000 miles. From
Falmouth they went Southampton, and
were sent in the usual course of events
to New York. another 5000 miles. Then
they crossed to San Francisco and
were put on board one of the Australian
steamers aud put off at the nearest
point to Tahiti, their destination. The
remainder of the journey was covered
with a small boat. In all, the letters
travelled distance of over $4,000 miles
and occupied four months and half
en- rOute"-San Francisco Call
