Prior to 1872 no such thing as a
creamery or butter factory had been
known. The small farmers of New
England, who were well provided with
pure water, mountain pastures and
other favorable conditions, had provid-
ed the cities with small percentage
Of good butter at an early day, and
Herkimer and Orange counties, N. Y,
extended the art and developed great
interest in cheese as well as butter
making. The Western Reserve of
Ohio, followed these, and in this linn
tied area prior to '72 was produced all
the fine butter worth naming. All the
butter coming from the great West
was denominated in the markets as
Western grease" Think of the Fox
River county of Illinois and it's broad
prairies everywhere, likewise Iowa,
whose butter and cheese product to-
day, added to it's home consumption,
equals $50,000,000. Think of all this
being of the lowest grade of stuff But
in 1872 John Stewart of Manchester,
Ia, invented creamery. The world
had never known a butter factory.
On Spring Branch, where there was
plenty of spring water, he built a
building and began to buy the milk
from his neighbors. In 1876 he show
ed up at Philadelphia, and took the
worlds prize for fine butter. 1t open
ed everybody's eyes, and it opened up
new resources in the West Iowa to-
day has over $50 creameries and near
ly 100 cheese factories. Other states
well situated have made similar i'm
provements.-Was hington Post.

MAN IN SOCIETY.
The Neglected mister" IL Beginning to
Receive Recognition.

Receive Recognition.
Every season brings certain changes
in etiquette-llttle variations in card
leaving and entertaining by which the
elect may recognize their own. One
new departure of this season is the
fashion of issuing all invitations in
names of both host and hostess. I'M
til now, lovely woman has reigned SUI
preme on the "at home card, and the
name of the mere man was never mem
toned unless 1t were dinner invita-
tion--a survival from the days when
the host was an important person be-
cause he carved Dinner la Russo
has long since robbed him of his I'M
pleasant prerogative. so that he is
quite as useful. or more so. at after
noon tea than he is at dinner. Every
invitation arrives with "Mr. and Mrs."
at the top. Why this Is so Is impossi-
BILE to say, except perhaps that the
married couple are anxious to let their
friends know that they are still living
together. Whatever the reason. how
ever, the result will doubtless be good,
and the plainest and shyest OF men will
have blown out into attractive hosts
under the feeling that they are bound
to show up at their own parties, and
do their share in the entertaining.
CrushesI are no longer in favor. The
mere love of examining room with a
crowd of people Is among the things
OF the past. Small, select parties are
much better style, when no one is
asked who has not some raison d'etre.
Very little music Is being given at
parties this season. Hostesses recog-
nize that people want to talk, and are
only too thankful to be let alone. In
Producing has not been very fashion
able; the most popular hostess as
rule is she who let her guests find
their own friends. THE hostess who
worries YOU" mere man declares, lis
luckily getting unpopular, and people
only like to patronize the salon OF the
chatelaine who has mastered the great
art OF letting her guests alone" The
number OF entertainments given In ho-
tells and smart restaurants Is one OF
the growing signs Of the laziness OF
modern life, and the tendency to Gen.
tralize In all things. People are thank
full to be saved trouble at any cost.
and giving parties In hotels saves an
illimitable amount OF calculation on
the part OF the hostess. No mere man
need to make elaborate calculations as
to the amount of food and drink re-
quired. no troublesome consultations
with the cook, the whole matter is
taken out of the entertainers hands.
and attended to by an all-knowing ho-
tel manager. The house Is not turned
upside down, nor the servants driven
to distraction by unaccustomed duties.
These entertainments at hotels have a
species Of novelty about them which
make them acceptable to the guests.
and they give the minimum OF trouble
for the hostess.-St. Louis Globe

His first impulse was to follow the
figure. and tell of the terrible expert

passed. His second was to pause and
think. vague feeling of uneaslness
coming over him.
He felt sure he had recognized the
figure as that of Major Rayburn.
For some reason he knew Rayburn
disliked him. He had noticed it sew
erals times-whenever he came in con-
tact with him. Once or twice he had
caught Rayburn looking at him in a
way that puzzled himself
Cleland could not guess the reason.
He had never dreamt Adrienne Brey-
ton regarded him in any other than a
friendly way, and, even had he done
SO. he had no idea of Rayburn's feel
ings towards Adrienne.
On second thoughts he gave up the
idea Of following Rayburn. He got
hold of his boys, told them all danger
was passed, and returned to his hut
the boys carrying the body Of the n.y.

for fear of attracting other wild ami

Cleland had just thrown himself
down on his roughly-improvised couch
again when loud knock came at the
door.

Strange to say, the sandglass Is still

All our garden vegetables are merely
types improved by long cultivation Of
wild species. The wild cabbage is
common enough in places by the sea,
but is of no use for food in its wild

to tell that it was cabbage at all.
Scotland owes the cabbage to Crom-

cabbage 1t was brought to perfection

Sing without Opening Mouths.

Many birds form their sound with
out opening their bills. The pigeon
Is a well-known instance OF this. Its
cooling can be distinctly heard. al
though it does not open its bill. The
call is formed internally in the throat
and chest and is only rendered audible
by resonance. Similar ways may be
observed in many birds and other
animals. The clear. loud call OF the
cuckoo, according to one naturalist, is
the resonance of note formed In the
bird. The whirring OF the snipe,
which betrays the approach Of the bird
to the hunter, is an act of ventrilo-
auism. Even the nightingale has cer7
tain notes which are produced intern
ally and which are audible while the
bill is closed.

Napoleon's letters to Josephine were
remarkable for their ardour. and for
a man who was said to have no heart
he expressed an extraordinary degree
of love and devotion. Swifts letters
to Stella are his complete autobio-
graph, and at the time when he pos
sessed his greatest power, when he
was courted by the rich and great,
when ministers of state consulted him
on every question, he took time to
write her daily. And he no sooner
sent off one letter than he commenced
another, thus, as Thackeray says,
never letting go her dear hand. He
told her everything that was going
on in the great world. and what was
said and done by every person worth
knowing, from the queen down. But
there was a curse connected with
everything that Swift did. After WOO
ing his Stella for year and years, and
breaking the heart of Miss Vanhom-
RICH as well, he finally married Stella,
but refused to live with her. They
parted at the altar. never to meet

patented device which he expects

err. His invention consists of an or
binary parasol to the interior OF which
is attached a powerful fan with re-
volving blades which will drive a
breeze down on the head of the person
who Is carrying the sunshade. The
fan Is operated by rod connected at
either end with gear wheels. At the
bottom Of the rod is ring so ar
ranged that by inserting one finger
and giving it an easy twisting motion
the fan will be set TO spinning and
steady breeze will be driven down
wards. The exertion required to drive
the fan is said to be slight, while the
oreeze stirred up by the revolution
Of the fan is extremely refreshing.
The apparatus is so arranged that
when the parasol Is folded up the fan
and its mechanism fold up with it.

Why We Arc Like the Crow.

Aside from the special question OF
profit and loss, we have a warm side
toward the crow, he Is so much like
ourselves, said the late Henry Ward
Beecher. He is lazy, and that is hu-
man; he is cunning, and that is human
He thinks his own color Is best, and
loves to hear his own voice, which are
eminent traits OF humanity. He will
never work when he can get another
to work for him-a genuine human
trait. He eats whatever he can get his
claws upon, and is less mischievous
with a belly full than when hungry,
and this is like man. Take off their
wings and put them in breeches. and
crows would make fair average men.
Give men wings and reduce their
smartness little, and many OF them
would be almost good enough to be
crows.

he has observed that the greatest de-
Walton Is at high water. The tripod
on Dry Halibut rock has been boarded
up solidly with heavy planks. This is
for the purpose OF giving back an echo
in thick weather. The captains of
