TEST BUTTER BYPHOT
Process by Which Spurious Article Can
BE Surely Detected.

Be Surely Detected.
State Chemist ]. A. Hummel has hit
upon new scheme which he thinks
will surely bring the butterine dodgers
to time. By combination of nickel
prisms, microscopes and a lensless
camera with sensitive plate Mr..
Hummel has developed a plan which
must show the difference between but
ters and pseudo buffers to every anna
teur eye at moments glance. Thus,
It is hoped the photographs will carry
weight with a jury where chemical
formulae failed. When asked to ex-
plain the process of examination BY
Photographic methods Mr.. Hummd
said: The simple fact to be considerea
is that pure butter as made in the
dairies or at the creamery contains
only amorphous fat. Any heating
process such as is followed in renova-
ton and running in OF milk immedi-
ately generates fat crystals. In the
olsomargarine the crystals from the
meat fats added to cotton seed oil are
very thick. Now, all we need to do is
to place sample OF suspected butter
in glass slide and then under the
microscope. We put one prism above
and one below in such a way that the
light rays cannot pass through, ao-
cording to a law of physics. Now we
push the tube of camera directly
over the head Of the microscope and
insert plate at the other end. No
direct light, you see, can pass through
that is, as long as these two prisms
are properly placed. But, according to
the laws of light, as soon as we get
third prism such as crystal, which,
you know, is of prismatic shape, the
light again finds its way through.
Consequently, If the butter is free from
crystals no direct rays and only a dull
translucent light will pass through,
while otherwise bright and dark spots
will come together and form the pc
culiarly shaped picture you see in the
oleomargarine sample. The proof is
simple, absolute and convincipg.-St,

The Postal Card Fad.

The postal card fad. which is so
virulent in Europe to-day, has not yet
reached this country, and the indi-
cations are that it will never amount
to the craze here that it has already
become abroad. All sorts of views
can already be had, and there Is
scarcely noted spot in the country,
from Niagara Falls to Mammoth Cave,
which has not been reproduced on the

John Browns Prayer.
John Brown fell upon his knees and
began to pray. "Ah," said Claver-
house, look out if you are going to
pray; steer clear of the king, the coun-
Gil and Richard Cameron" 20 Lord"
be thy will that l should leave this
world for world where l can love
thee better and serve thee more,
put this poor widow woman and these
helpless. fatherless children into thy
hands. We have been together in
peace good while, but now we must
look forth to a better meeting in
heaven. And as for these poor crea-
lures, blindfolded and infatuated, that
stand before me, convert them before
1t be too late, and may they who have
sat in judgment in this lonely place on
this blessed morning upon me, a poor,
defenseless fellow creature-may they
in the last judgment find that mercy
which they have refused to me, thy
most unworthy but faithful servant.
Amen"
He arose and said, Isabel, the hour

Heroes OF Domestic Injustice.
Society to-day is strewn with the
wrecks of men who, under the north
east storm Of domestic infelicity, have
been driven on the rocks. There are
tens of thousands of drunkards to-day,
made such by their wives. That is not
poetry; that is prose. But the wrong
IS generally in the opposite direction.
You would not have to go far to find
wife whose life is perpetual mar
tyrdom-something heavier than
stroke of the ist, unkind words; stag
gering home at midnight and constant
maltreatment, which have left her
only wreck of what she was on that
day when in the midst Of a brilliant
assemD1age the VOWS were taken. and
full organ played the wedding march,
and the carriage rolled away with the
benediction of the people. What was
the burning of Latimer and Ridley at
the stake compared with this? Those
men soon became unconscious in the
fire, but there is 80 years martyr
dom, so years putting to death, yet
uncomplaining. No bitter words when
the rollicking companions at O'Clock
In the morning pitch the husband dead
drunk into the front entry. No bitter
words when wiping from the swollen
brow the blood struck out in a mid
night carousal. Bending over the
battered and bruised form OF him who
when he took her from her fathers
home promised love and kindness and
protection, yet nothing but sympathy
and prayers and forgiveness before
they are asked for" No bitter words
when the family Bible goes for rum
and the pawnbroker's shop gets the
last decent dress. Some day, desir-
ing to evoke the story OF her sorrows,
you say, well. how are you getting
along now?" and, rallying her tremb-
ling voice and quieting her quivering
lip, she says, Pretty WELL thank
you; pretty WE'LL" She never will tell
you. In the delirium of her last sick
ness she may tell all the other Sc
crsts of her lifetime, but she will not
tell that. Not until the books of
eternity are opened on the throne Of
judgment will ever be known what she
has suffered. Oh, We, who are twisting
a garland for the victor, put it on that
pale brow! When she is dead the
neighbors will beg linen to make her
a shroud. and she will be carried out
in plain box, with no silver plate to
tell her years, for she has lived a
thousand years Of trial and anguish.
The gamblers and swindlers who de-
stroyed her husband will not come to
the funeral. One carriage will be
enough for that funeral-one carriage
to carry the orphans and the two
Christian women who presided over
the obsequies.
The Celestial Door Opened.
But there is a flash and the opening
OF celestial door and shout, Lift
up your head, ye everlasting gate, and

step forth and say, Come in. Ye
