Something New.

1t has always been conceded that no
ordinary paint equalled an enamel for
all interior decora tive purposes, as the
former does not give the beautiful.
smooth, mirror-like surface that the
latter does.
The economical housewife OF to-day
has the walls, bath room and bedrooms
enameled, as once done it lasts for
years. Rubbed with soft cloth once
in a while, such rooms are kept clean
and healthy with practically no labor.
Old articles of furniture are made TO
look like new with coat Of enamel
and give good service for years when
otherwise it would have been neces
sary to discard them.
In the past the price of enamel has
been almost double that of paint. but
Florentine Enamel Colors are sold at
the same price as ordinary mixed paint
and come ready for use. This brand Of
enamel is put up in twenty-three colors
and comes in all size packages from
pint to gallon cans. and we understand
that nearly all dealers of paint carry
it in stock on account Of the great de
mand that exists for it. BY writing

BIG CHURNINGS.
Work of the Highest Sa1aried Butter
Maker in the United States.

There is a Dane in Kansas City, says
the Journal Of that city, who churns the
milk from 10000 cows daily. 1t takes
him only forty minutes to churn 1850
pounds of butter, and he makes ten O.
these cummings a day. In one day s
churning he turns out more butter than
all the housewives of Missouri and Kan
sas combined. This wonderful Dane is
A. NJ. Larson, buttermaker for the Bra
dy-Meridan Creamery company. He
learned the business in Denmark, aud is
said to be the hlgheSt-salaried butter
maker in the United States The walls
of his workroom are covered with but
ter diplomas, one having been awarded
him at the Worlds Fair in Chicago.
He knows precisely when the cream is
ripe for churning, knows just what
the flavor and color should be- knows to
a grain how much salt to put in tin
fact. knows it all.
1t is an interesting sight to watch the
transformation of cream into butter in
the place where Mr.. Larsen works The
cream arrives i'll large ten and twenty
gal lion milk cans. 1t is poured from these
gallons each. In each tank is Il metallic
coil of pipe, through which is forced wa
ter from an artesian well 600 feet deep.
While the water is running through
these pipes, machinery moves the pipes
back and forth in the vat. keeping the
all done at night. and after four hours
OF the cooling process the cream is re-
duced to temperature of - degrees In
the six or eight hours remaining before
daylight the cream ripens. and in the
morning the smooth. satin-like fluid is
ready for the great churn. This is an i'm
mense BARREL 20 feet long and 10 feet
through, which is revolved by ma chinery

pound prints or bricks. Piled against the
wall of the churning room were more
than 100 barrels. That's salt said the
butter-maker. I'VE use salt here by the
carload. 1t takes IS pounds for one
churning."
There are forty three Swimming sta
lions within radius of sixty miles of
Kansas City, which supply this great
churn with cream. At each of these
stations is separator run by machin-
cry which separates the cream from the

TRAMPING IN FINE RAIMEMT.
Leaning on His Gold Headed Cane,

A tramp, attired in silk tile and Prince
Albert coat, set East Twenty -seventh

Spotless linen, a clean-shaven face and

HAS THIRTY THOUSAND TEETH
The Snail is Well Equipped with Its
Band Saw Tongue.

1T is fortunate thing for man and
the rest Of the animal Kingdom" said the
naturalist. that no large wild animal
has mouth constructed with the dcvour-
ing apparatus built on the plan of the
Insignificant looking snail's mouth. for
that animal could out-devour anything
that lives. The snail itself is such an en-
tlrely unpleasant not to say loathsome
creature to handle, that few amateur
naturalists care to bother with it, hut by
neglecting the snail they miss studying
one Of the most interesting objects that
come under their observation.
Anyone who has noticed snail feed
ing on leaf must have wondered how
such soft, habby, Shiny animal can
make such sharp and clean-cut incision
IN the leaf, leaving an edge as smooth
and straight as if it had been cut with a
knife. This is due to the peculiar and
formidable mouth it has. The snail eats
mouth. The tongue is a ribbon which
the snail Keeps II g, cell iii his mouth.
Ibis tongue is in reality a band saw.
with the teeth on the surface instead Of
on the edge. The teeth are so small that
as many as 10000 of them have been
found on one snail's tongue. They are
exceedingly sharp and only a few Of
them are used at a time-nOt exactly only
few of them, but a few Of them COM
paratively, for the snail will prOba bly,
have 1000 or 5000 of them in use at once.
He does this by means of his coiled
tongue. He can uncoil as much of this
as he chooses, and the uncoled part he
brings into service. The roof of his
mouth is as hard as a bone. He grasps
the leaf between his tongue and that
hard substance, and, rasping away With
his tongue, saws through the toughest
leaf with ease, always leaving the edge
smooth and straight.
by use the teeth wear off or become
dull. When the snail finds that this tool
is becoming blunted he uncoils another
section and works that out until he has
coils the tongue up again and is ready to
start in new, for while he has been using
the latter portions Of the ribbon the
teeth have grown on again i'll tho idle
portion-the saw has been filed and re.
set, so to Speak-and while he is using
them the teeth in the back part of the
coil are renewed "

Old Lady was a Romancer.

Tit-BitS tells of droll mistake made
by an imaginative old dame who, having
permitted Ii telegraph pole to be placed
just by the side of her house. waited up
on the telegraph officials to complain
that she could get no sleep of Il night
being kept awake by the noise made by
the messages passing over her head.
Il don't think. sir. said she. You can
be aware Of all that's said along them

to be. | can assure you, sir. that very
much that's said there that | have to lie
and listen to, is such as no decent wom-
an ought to hear; and | hope you will put
stop to 1t.
The amused gentleman was hardly
able to meet the accusation with due
gravity: but he did contrive to keep his
countenance while he informed the old
lady that the young men who had hither-
to worked the wires were under notice of
dismissal. and that in future only young
women of great responsibility would be
employed. so there would be no danger
of her propriety being shocked again.
