While all Sonest men eOncede that
cleo should be sold for what It really
is and for nothing else, a few under
stand that the proposed 10 cent tax is
designed TO be prohibitive and that
it is the same as enacting a law forbid
ding the making OF oieomargarine. The
proposed law does not tax the manu.
facture of oleOmargarlne designed to
be sold for what IL really Is 10 cents q
pound. or any other sum. 1t taxes the
act of coloring ii to resemble butter so
that 1t can be sold for butter 1t does
not prohibit the making of oleomarga-
rine, but does prohibit carrying on a
fraud. 1t is designed. not to crush out
Oleomargarine. but to crush out fraud.
OF course if it is impossible to sell
Oleomargarlne except by fraud. then
the proposed law will suppress oleo-
margarine, and in that event it ought
to. IL the opponents of the proposed
law really mean what they say-and
probably some Of them do-that no
man should be allowed dishonesty to
sell oleomargarine as butter. nor
should he be prohibited from making
Oleomargarine, then they really con-
cede the justice of the 10 cent tax and
the absolute necessity for that kind of
legislation. and they only oppose the
law through misconception of the stu

The lovely young Dsaehesse Roche
foucauld- Deaudeauyille wore the beau
tiful gown mentioned. The sleeves
were nearly tight and had stiffish
straps OF folds of dark dove colored
satin. There are several shades OF
dove color. The dresg was cut in prin-
cess shape. and all the upper part was
covered with the heaviest Limerick
lace in cuirasse form. This was applied
solidly to the dress itself 1t was cut
in sharp, deep points, which were
edged with white satin folds, and
these formed diamonds up the sides.

Down all the seams were rows of rich
lace insertion. Directly around the bot
tom were several very narrow and
close folds OF satin. The collar was
high and pointed behind the ears.
The hat was a picture In itself. being
of gray satin stretched over a frame
end faced with sapphire blue velvet
and with row of lace points. Three
large white plumes finished it. with a
little gray satin drapery and one
rosette. Blue and gray rarely look web
together. but they did in this hat The

OF directoire days. This one is of cash
mere to match the dress, with a little
white silk embroidery and a deep knot

The back it is gathered under a large
gilt or fligree buckle or fancy passe-
menterie. Some of them have fringe
all around.
Fine mnll dresses arg seen With an
applique Of colored flowers cut from
silk, in rather large and vague design,
much like the cheney silk. They are
sewed to the muslin by a tiny line Of
lace insertion. No one can tell how
pretty they are. One young lady OF
very distinguished appearance had
flowers cut out in this way. but sewed
under the null, which gave it a still
more delicate effect.
The sweet little Countess de la Boul-
iaye with her two young daughters
were much admired The mother walk
ed along slowly, attired in a pearl gray
WOODEN dress, cut TO bring out every
line Of her dainty figure. 1t was oYeF-
laid with lace on the skirt. Over IL she
wore a jacket of deep crimson cloth
with reyers and plain vest of the same
color. The vest, too. had reyers. 4
wide row of lace of the dark ecru shade
went around the high collar and all
around the skirt of the coat. There
were pockets.
1t family reminded one of the Louis
XIV jackets. With this the pretty IT.
tie countess wore a regular poke bon
net with strings Of red gauze and a big
rosette of the same upon the crown.
Her daughters wore cream coIored
wool grenadine, with pale pink velvet
accessories. This lady has had one of
the most tragic and romantic histories
ever known IN real life. Assassination
and shipwreck were among her trials,
and the sudden and awful death of her
husband In China thrilled the world.

Professor c. S. Plumb of Purdue ex-
pertinent station says:
From time to time there has been in
troduced into the dairy community
unique forms of churns. Hundreds of
varieties have been patented. and the
farming public as result has suffered
from the introduction of many of these

agree that churns should be free Of all

LIS is because where different lots

cream sooner than from the other. The
butter which comes first is more or
less injured when struck and rubbed
by the paddle, or dasher. SO that but

duced
During the past few years several
forms of ehurns have been introduced
in the United States that are adyertis-
ed to bring the butter lin a minute and
half" and remarkable results are
promised the farmer who uses one of
them. These churns are of the shape
of an ice cream freezer pail and con-
tain a set Of arms, or dashers, near
the bottom that are revolved at great
speed by geared arrangement at the
top of the churn operated by crank
handle. In April and May tests We're
made OF one OF these ehurns at the In
diana experiment station. The ehurp
was small of capacity. SO but eight
pounds, or one gallon. OF cream was
used in each trial. The trials were
made under as favorable conditions as
possible TO produce good butter. The
cream was placed in the churn at a
low temperature. ranging in the differ
ent trials from So to 50 degrees. At
the former temperature the butter
came in minutes, az che latter in 10
minutes. At So degrees a FIELD of 3
pounds and / ounce of saited worked
butter was secured. At So degrees 2
pounds and u ounces was Obtained,
The amount of butter fat left in the
buttermilk showed that the butter had
been quite satisfactorily separated

This type Of churn, for the reason

ATAvISM I'M ANIMALS.


A Scientific Explanation OF Many
Traits OF Character.
DR.. Louis Robinson, an English 20
ologist. has just given to the world an
account of his Investigations as to the
origin of the habits and mode of life
of certain animals, and the conclusion
at which be seems to arrive Is that all
such phenomena may be explained on
the ground Of atavism Thus he claims
that the horse of our day derives his
swiftness and power Of endurance
from the fact that his ancestors in for
mer days were obliged to fee from
and frequently to defend themselves
against their great enemies, the
wolves. In like manner he claims that
the reason why the horse SHES is be-
cause his ancestors were forced to be
constantly on the alert against hidden
enemies and that the reason why he
rears and plunges is because only by
pursuing such tactics could his fore
fathers shake off wild animals who
had leaped upon their backs.
Sheep when frightened Immediately
rush off to the highest point they can
reach The reason, says Dr. Robinson,
is because all sheep originally inhabit-
ed mountainous districts. And this, he
claims, is also the reason why they
wear a thick fleece of wool all the
year through. the summer temperature
| in mountainous districts being almost
as cold as that of winter. Finally, we
are assured that the reason sheep in
variably follow a leader is because
their ancestors were obliged to go in
Indian file through the narrow noun
famous passes.
Pigs have also engaged DIR. Robin
sons attention. He was puzzled for a
good while as to the cause of their
grunting, but pow he thinks he has dis
covered the real reason. The pigs Of
today, he says, evidently grunt be-
cause their ancestors made their homes
