The Celtic Brooch.

The true Celtic brooch" the
simplest form of an object used to
secure garment, finds its develop
ment in the safety pin of today. All
of the ancient world used this par
ticular form of brooch. With the
Celts it was a favorite ornament.
In many old Scotch families of the
present time brooch belonging to
their ancestors has been preserved
as the most precious of relics.
Lately the British museum has
acquired the Glenlyon brooch, F"
which finds its place in the glass
case near the Lorn brooch. This
Lorn brooch is supposedly the one
worn by Robert the Bruce. The
Glenlyon specimen has been for
many centuries in the Campbell
family. 1t is a large brooch, five
inches in circumference. 1t is of
silver, set with jewels, and bears the
names of "Caspar, Melchoir, Bal
thazar," the three kings of Cologne,
such an inscription being often used
in amulets of the medieval period.

Sailing Butter In Denmark.

In Denmark as soon as the buttermilk
has been removed the butter is weighed
in order to calculate the amount Of salt
required, and the salt is worked in at
this time, Usually ON the butter worker.
Sometimes it is all incorporated at one
working, but in many places it is pre-
ferred to add it in two workings. The
amount Of salt used is not uniform. 1t
is adapted TO the taste Of the market
where it is expected to be sold, but it
varies between and per cent Of the
weight Of the butter. The salt is worked
into the butter with the least possible
amount Of handling, and it is then laid
aside for some time before thu next
working takes place. In summer it is
put in butter coolers, which are sort
Of icebox. In winter it is either laid in
large rolls in the butter trough or on a
table provided for the purpose. 1t lies
here for couple Of hours i'll the cold
season, but when the weather is warm
it is allowed to remain for eight or ten
hours or until the cool Of the following
morning before it receives the final
working. The object is not only to cool
the butter, and thus allow it to become
firmer, but also to allow the salt TO dis.
solve and to penetrate the whole mass.
When the butter has attained the proper
degree Of frmness, it is again put
through the worker, and considerable
portion of the brine formed from the
salt is worked out. The amount of
working it cad stand differs much in
individual cases. Care is taken, how
ever, that it is not the least bit over
worked, so as to become greasy and
sticky. This working may be repeated a
couple of times, or it may be packed for
shipment at once.-Dublin Farmers

The CheetuI.

The axis or cheetul, deer of the Indi-
an jungle can claim to be the most or
namental of all the 36 races of deer to
be seen gathered together at Woburn.
In the early summer. when all the 9TH
er deer except the wapiti are either
shedding their horns or 'in the velvet"
the axis are in perfection, both of color
and antlers. The large herd of this spe-
cies looks as if carved out of ivory and
red gold in the sunshine and verdure Of
English scenery. Their horns are almost
white, their eyes and muzzles Of jet
black, their threats white and their
backs and sides a brilliant golden tan,
spotted with round dots Of purest white.
1t is worth pilgrimage to Woburn to
see these deer alone. They breed con-
stantly, sometimes producing two fawna
in the twelvemonth. Spectator.

Goose Butter.

State Dairy and Food Inspector Law
renee of Minnesota tells q good "but-
ter" story which reminds us that some
of these quiet old farmers can sometimes
beat the chemists i'll the art of "substi-
tuition" Ho says that one Of the men
connected with the department was on
tour Of inspection in Steele county,
and in his rambles stopped at the house
of an old German farmer, who gave
him a lunch of bread and butter anu
some dairy" drink. After the frugal
repast was finished the host asked his
guest how he liked the butter. II think
it is very goodnight have a little
moro SALT" he replied. II have 40
cows, :" the farmer said, "and / send
every bit of the milk to the creamery.
The creamery is cooperative and l
am a stakeholder in it. Now, you see
those geese?" There were 220 Of
them. "Well, feed them on plank,
put staples down over their feet and
hold them there. Then l feed them till
they are so fat they can eat no more and
can scarcely waddle. Then kill them.

man from the dairy food commission re-
called the days when his mamma used
to feed him goose grease for the good Of
his throat and beat hasty retreat into
the open air.

Four Hundred Line Up for the kissing
at Kansas City.
KANSAS CRY, Dec. 2O..-Lieutenant
Richmond Pierson Hobson, U. S. N,
was the central figure in an osculatory
carnival at the Coates hotel yesterday
afternoon that clearly oyershadowed
any of the kissing affairs in which the
gallant Alabaman has figured since his
return from more serious duties at San
tiago. When Lieutenant Hobson ar.
rived from Chicago at 3 o'clock yester-
day afternoon he was cheered by several
hundred persons who had gathered at
the railway station. A reception CON-
mittee awaited with carriages and all
along his route from the depot to the
hotel the Merrimac's commander was
recognized and cheered. The more
exciting part came few minutes later,
when the lieutenant was escorted to the
parlors on the second floor, where over
400 women, young, old, handsome and
plain, waited to greet the popular hero.
Most of them came to be kissed and 267
of them, by actual count, We're not dis
appointed. Some of the more matronly
of them received cordial handshake
and were passed up the line, but the
most of them who showed the least in
clination were embraced and kissed
After the banquet last night Lieutenant
Hobson departed for Denver.

John Churton Collins, the distin-
guished essayist and Quarterly Review
er, has been lecturing on the theater of
Shakespeare time. The typical theater
then was Of wood circular or hexago-
nal in form, being modelled externally on
the general structure of the old amphi-
theaters for bull and bear batting. The
interior was fashioned after the manner
of an inn yard. The pit was scorched
by the sun, while the actors were pro-
tected by matched penthouse. The
scenery was supplied by the magma
tion of the audience, but what was
lacking in scenery was made up in noise
and hustle, things being kept very live
ly in that direction. The most numer-
GUS class among the audience were roist-
ering prentices.
On the stage and in other parts were
fashionable dandies, swashbucklers,
writers and actors These, it is inter-
esting to know, always had free pass
The play lasted two hours ON an aver
age, and, considering the noise and the
smells which accompanied the perform
ance, one was, Mr.. Collins presumed,
not sorry when "the actors dropped on
their knees to pray. for the queen.

How 70 Make Both Your Boys and Your.
self Successful.

self Successful.
A Tennessee correspondent Of Hoard's
Dairyman says: In our discussions on
dairy subjects we, as a rule, ignore the
fact that our success is owing to great
extent to the boys OH the farm. They,
If properly reared, will not only relieve
us of great many cares, but also will
make the farm and herd more success
full than hired men will do. In my
that the dairyman or any farmer who
took an interest in having his boys with
him on the farm was the one who was
not only making his business success,
but at the same time was giving his
boys the education ard habits to make
them successful in hS line after him.
In my case while my boys were
small worked on salary, feeling
that could not successfully carry on
q dairy farm with hired help. Our first
venture in working for ourselves devel-
oped new problem / was not counting
on-that is, in family of four boys no
two are alike in their tastes regarding
farm and dairy work. Our present lease
is on farm that is only adapted to
dairy work alone. The crops of grain
are light, owing to long years of poor
farming. And stock farming does not
pay, owing to relative high prices of
the grains necessary to finish stock for
the market. / find that to keep my sons
interested they should be in locality
where stock, grain and dairy work can
be carried on together, thus giving each
boy line of work that best suits his
inclinations. My Oldest son is better
pleased to work with teams in the field
The next in age is the most successful
calf raiser / ever saw, and also is in the
way of making a fine butter and cheese
maker. Still another boy takes great
interest in having fine hogs, chickens
etc.
AT the same time they arc all fully
alive to the Importance of the milk
COW and her products and are first class
mixers. Any one of them can condu It
the work from pail to tho finished but
ter and are growing in knowledge daily
from my teachings, coupled with our
many dairy papers, which, am glad to
say, they read with interest. Igive them
practical lessons in feeds and feeding,
teach them to be systematic in all work
connected with the herd and dairy, call
their attention to all improvements that
are being made in creamery and herd
management, give them the running %
the Babcock test, let them solve the
problems that arise in manipulating the
test--such rs various degrees of density
of acid, variations in fats, how to get
best readings, figuring yields, proving
tests from herds milk to the butter
milk.
Any one Of my sons can take stran-
ger into our pasture, point out any COW
in herd and tell how much feed she gets
daily, how much milk she gives and
what it will test. The whole secret of
my success with my boys and cows is in
keeping the former interested and the
latter perfectly contented.

traffic delivered by that road. Mr.
Brice began his political career as an
elector on the Tilden electoral ticket in
1876. and in 1884 he was an elector on

millions. He was actively interested in
many financial undertakings.

Chicago Franchise Fight.

CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-The ordinance
providing for the extension of the
franchise of Chicago's street car lines
was again the subject of elaboration in
the city council last night. On motion
of Alderman Mayer, an opponent of ex-
tension, the ordinance was taken from
the railroad committee and referred to
the committee on city hail. This mo-
ton prevailed by vote of SO to 81, al
though the point of order was made
that the committee on city hall was
not an appropriate committee. Mayor
Harrison overruled the point Of order.
and the ordinance is now in the hands
of the city hall committee, which is re-
garded as antiextension in sentiment.
