center Of the caramel until the knot
catches. on the other 9 side. Unthread
the needle, leaving the caramel attach
ed to at least a yard Of silk. Then tie
a good knot in the free end.
Enough caramels should be prepared
beforehand. When you wish to play
..the game gather the players in circle,
giving to each a caramel hung to the
silk.
e. The ere who, after placing the knot
ted end between his teeth, with his
hands folded behind him, first succeeds
in drawing the caramel into his mouth
wins the game.
OF course there is a trick about 1t,
but a very simple one. Just work 1t
ou+. One little hint. Everything de-
pends upon having that knot firmly
fastened in the beginning between your
teeth.

We notice in the Country Gentle
man an article on that subject whlch
We in part produce, and call the at
tention of our buttermakers to the
statements made therein. These
statements and the theories advanced
are in accordance with our own belief
that has been proven often by prac'
tice. We have made statements here
tofore on sundry and divers occasions
that butter properly made is better
ten days OF two weeks old than at any
other period in its history, and 1t
ought not to go beyond its best estate
for four weeks. This statement has
been contradicted and disputed fre-
qnently, but the trend of sentiment IS
coming in that direction. Hear what
the correspondent Of the Country
Gentleman says: "Much is said OF the
favor OF butter and cheese, but gen
orally on one side, and that on the
wrong side. The individuality OF the
COW and feeding are the two msln
points as the cause Of fine or bad
favor of this product. Little is said
or thought about the curing OF this
product, although it is in curing that
the best favor is developed in them.
The best butter thirty years ago
was made in the summer time and
picked for winter sale. The manner
of business is now changed, doubtless
for the reason that the methods Of the
dairies have changed. But what then.
The purchaser puts it away III colo
storage and keeps ituntil winter when
fine butter is scarce, then brings II
ont for sale. There is too much line
butter made in the summer, and on
this account the price is too low foE
satisfactory profit. But We should
understand that butter can be cured
as well as cheese, and gain by age,
during which an individual ripenine
goes On very slowly, producing the
line favor desired by most consumers.
The vapid fresh butter that gees tc
the market in warm weather ripens
quickly, aud by the time it gets to the
consumer it is ready ior the table,

AUTHOR OF "QUO VADIS."
MRS. MACCORD GIVES A TALK ON THE
POLISH WRITER.

Mrs Charles W. MacCord spoke to inter-
ested audience in the state banquet-room OF the
Astoria yesterday morning on Henry Slenkiewich
and his works She said that the Polish writer
had dealt much with scenes OF American life. and
had won admiration for the manner Of depicting
them and OF emphasizing character.
He has been a great traveller" she said, max
ing himself familiar with the people and customs
Of many lands, and one secret Of his success Is
that he draws less imagination than on MS
knowledge Of circumstances and influences sur
rounding the character. lie has never pictured a
type OF human being with which ne was not IA
miliar and the settings Of his stories with the
exception of the historical tales painted from
tho life" He does not Mrs MacCord declares,
turn the reader OF side track by some sihHIi
personality. but the author Is wholly lost In his
art; he expresses no opinions. does not preach
over some ones shoulder. "a no propaganda ex-
plotting his own theories. but his characters are
alive. always the artist he knows what lights

merely indicate. His stories are generally stories
and claim the reader at first for the sake OF the
tale a second perusal being given for the sake Oh
literary merit But this Is not 30 OF QUO Nadls'
which deals with an historical incident and wins
attention for it's intense dramatic situations
Mrs MacCord expressed fear lest the DOCK

and needs little more the scenic artists wotk
