What Concen tration WIllAccomplish
MANY persons, seeing me SO much
engaged in active life" said Edward
Bulwer-Lytton, land as much above
the world as If had never been a stu
dent, have said to me, When do you
get time to write all your books? How
on earth do you contrive to do so much
work. l shall surprise you by the
answer / made. 1t was this: I con-
trive to do so much work by never do
ing too much at time
"Now, since l began really and earn
estly to study, which was not till had
left the college, and was actually in the
world, may perhaps say that l have
gone through as large course of gen.
eral reading as most men of my time.
l have travelled much and have seen
much; l have mixed much in politics,
and besides all this, l have published
somewhere about sixty volumes. And
yet, what time do you thing, as a gen.
eral rule. 1 have devoted to study, to
reading and writing? Not more than
three hours q day. But then, during
these three hours 1 have given my
whole attention to what I was about
and lost not a moment"

feeling being that lower prices will on

Streaky or notified butter may be
due to the salt or the working of the
butter. In the finest quality of butter
the salt is SO evenly diffused that, as
appears under the microscope, every
grain is surrounded by film of clear
and transparent brine, which shows the
necessity of avoiding the overworking
of the butter before the salt is added.
In the first working every particle Of
the milk should be gotten rid of, but
enough clear water should be left to
dissolve every grain of salt in IL hours
befUre the next working. If this is
done there will be little danger Of
streakiness in the butter, but to get the
best results the salt should be very
finely ground.

THROW DICE FOR PUNISHMENT.


Two Soldiers In the Philippines Use the
Bonss to See Who IL to Suffer.
II was in the Philippines about three
months ago." said the Chicago agent of
Q well-known tea house, land saw the
Queerest throw Of dice ever saw in my
life. Two soldiers had been court-mar-
tailed for getting drunk and assaultns
their superior oficer-about the gravest
offense q subordinate can commit. Be.
ing after dark, the ofncer didn't know
which one 1t was. Neither did they, nor
much Of anything else that happened
about that time. But the court insisted
that for the sake Of discipline one Of
them must be punished. 1t was hard
lines. For they were really not bad
young fellows and everybody was sorry
for them. Each was willing to take
the penalty and let the other one Oh.
But that wouldn't do, SO it was finally
agreed that they should throw the dice
for 1t.
THE first one that took them shook
them hard and turned them out. Five
and two! The second man followed
suit His were five and two. Then the
first poured out a six and Ave. Six and
five came out for the other. You should
have just heard the shouts and bets.
Then the first one threw again. Two
and three! And two and three showed
up for the second soldier. This was
getting interesting 'Acesv said the
first. Aces! cried the second. The ex-
element was tremendous. Everybody
crowded into the room anxious to get
q sight at the miraculous performances.
"They all held their breaths. The SOL
dicr whose throw it was gave the bones
an extra shake. Out tumbled four and
three. The second one pounded and
shook enough to have worn the spots
off of 'em. No use. Three and four!
The Devils in EN- 4 can't get used
to that gamer They're loaded all
around exclaimed the crowd"
Here the tea agent paused and rose
to 60 away.
But how did they come out finally 2"
everybody asked, wrought up to intens-
est curiosity"
"Oh, out Of the box, s'pose, like
they did before" calmly explained the
agent. "You see, the steamer for Homo
lulu was whistling for the last time and
l had to come away before the thing
was settled. They may be at it yet for
all l know."-Chicago Chronicle.

Hay differs greatly in weight and

Hay differs greatly in weight and
quality. Ripe timothy hay is the
heaviest, about 400 cubic feet, well
packed, being estimated as weighing
ton. If cut when in blossom ton
will take up about $50 cubic feet.
Mixed with clover ton will vary from
$50 to 500 cubic feet. Glover hay re-
quires about $50 cubic feet to ton.
OF pea vine hay about 500 cubic feet
make ton. About 700 cubic feet of
meadow hay is the estimate for ton.
These estimates are not strictly reli-
able, however, as something depends
upon how closely the hay is pressed in
the stack or NOW.
