Deeds Drawn by William Penn.

A unique feature Of several old
Philadelphia business houses Is that
the transfer Of the property on which
the buildings stand has been made by
inheritance under the original deed
drawn by William Penn. The old snuff
works, on South Second street, have
been operated by successive members
of the Garrett family for $50 years,
and the ground on which the building
stands was decided by Penn. Although
now in the tobacco trust, one room OF
the plant has been reserved for num-
Der of antiquities Of the snuff trade,
and here Is the original deed of the
proprietor of Pennsylvania. The old.
est deed in Pennsylvania Is written In
Dutch-a deed Of transfer to William
Penn from q Dutchman who owned
what is now Lemon Hill. and who sold
it to Penn. This document Is careful
IL preserved on the sixth floor Of the
City Hall.
Old deeds have a certain intrinsic
value aside from their original pur-
pose. A great many colonial deeds
have been bought by gold beaters for
the sake Of the superior parchment on
which they were written, as they have
discovered that 1t serves the purpose
of "gold beaters' skins" Collectors Of
autographs have occasionally come
across valuable finds in these shops

milk. The farmer brings his milk to
front Of the building where 1t Is ac-
curately weighed. Then he drives
around to the back of the building
where the milk is delivered to him
again, having in the meantime passed
through the centrifugal muchine and
been separated from the cream. The
skim milk Is taken buck to the farm

ter has small percentage of coloring
matter-the winter butter containing
more because it is naturally whittier
than butter inude during the summer
when the cows IRE III pasture. Less
5.olorlng inutter is tised than former
lr, and the public has been educated
to lighterculored butter.
As for the udulteration Of butter,
stringent laws have practically done
away with it. Oleomurgarine is on
the market in large quantities. but the
law requires that it shall be stamped
as oleomargarine. Moreover, there Is
law in New York forbiddlng under
severe penalty the use of any color
ing matter in oleomnrgarine which, in
it's natural condition, is white ana
easily distinguished from butter
Some unscrupulous retail dealers DO
sell oleomargarine rs butter, but the
risk is now so great that few are Will
ing to take it.
The successful butter buyer needs
long experience md Il marvellously
educated pnlate. He must be able to
judge the grain Of the butter, its keep
ing quality and the amount OF color
ing matter used in it. If there is the
slightest foreign flavor in it he must
know to what it is due, and how 1t
will effect the butter in course OF
time. The. expert can give a shrewd
guess at the food of the COWS from
whose milk the butter has been made,
and Gun detect In second any care
lessness in the making. Much OF the
fault of the butter as served on the
table is due to the handling and
storing, rather than to the making.
IF we could only accomplish a
lightning transfer from the wholesale
house to the table," said Il we'll known
retail dealer, there would be less
complaint about butter. BY the time
it is brought from the wholesale to the
retail house. cut up and stored here,
taken out and carted around in de-
livery wagons with all sorts of other
packages, carelessly handled and left
lying around the kitchen at the house
where it is delivered. tucked away i'll
refrigerator with watermelon and
meat and fruit. and finally served in
a hot, smelly kitchen. even the best
butter has lost good deal OF its
purity and sweetness"
The expectation of butter Is, or
course, governed by the price prevail
ing here; but it reaches large figures
each year. Last year 115,0cO tubs OF
butter were sent to Europe and
5.5OO,O0O tubs to the West Indies and
South America.

Horseslesh as Food.

The use of horsefesh as food is
subject which has been brought into
prominence Of late owing to the nec-
essities to which the beleaguered gar
risons in South Africa have been re-
duced. 1t Is, therefore, q matter OF
general interest that certain butcher
in San Francisco have been detected
in using the flesh of the horse rs
substitute for beef In the manufac-
ture cr sausages and other viGnds.
There is uothing unwholesome In using
the flesh Of such a clcan-feeding ami
nal as the horse, but it Is rightly con-
sIdered that 1t should not be foisted
upon consumers in place Of more eX-
pensive meats. In many Continental
countries the sale Of horsefesh for hui
man food is considerable; but the but
chers are licensed, and the animals are
killed under proper sanitary condi-
tions. The New York Medical Jour-
nal points out that it is comparatively
easy to detect the presence of horse
meat even in such small quantities as
& per cent. The suspected meat Is
boiled for about an hour in a small
quantity of wafer. which is afterward
reduced by evaporation, cooled, and
filtered. To this liquid few drops of
compound iodine solution lone part To-
dine and twelve parts potassic iodide
In one hundred parts of water) Is add
ed. when a fugitive red-violet colora-
ton indicates the presence Of horse
meat.-Chambcrs' Journal.

Made a Shilling.

At O .ertain cloth factory in Scot
land it was the custom to fine the
workpeople for turning out bad work.
One day workman brought piece of
cloth to be examined, and the manager
found two little holes about an inch
apart. He then showed these to the
man and demanded two shillings fine
a shilling for each hole. "Is it shil-
ling for each hole?" aske the man.

BoERs AND THE LocUsrs,
Why They Refuse 10 ExtermInate These
South African Pests,

Il A correspondent writes Of the numer-
Gus swarms Of locusts which from time
to time settle on South African farms,
and the method by which the farmers
destroy them. The locusts cover every
thing, and are described as blotting out
the sun in their flight till 1t seemed
shining through an orange mist. The
rush Of their wings fills the air with
sound like the roaring Of storm
through pine forest, and the bodies
Of those which. wearied with flight, fell
to the earth covered the ground like
q living carpet. Seen at q little dis
tance, the main body Of the swarm re-
sembles snowstorm, the wings dia-
phanous In the sunlight, drifting along
before the wind, or sinking softly
toward the ground. 1t is impossible
to ride through the living mass. as the
buffeting Of the face and hands Of the
rider. becomes intolerable. AS seen from
behind the swarm is visible for miles,
trailing across the country, Hike a big
band of smoke floating along before the
breeze. When tie swarm alights 1t
destroys every green blade Of vegcta-
tion, and leaves behind 1t track Of
ruin and desolation. A method Of deal
ing with the pests with fair effective
ness, even in the fully developed fly
ing insect stage, has been discovered
in the colony. A fungus has been
found which thrives rapidly on their
bodies with invariably fatal effect. The
disease spreads with extraordinary
rapidity, and If once swarm be infect
ed the whole mass Of insects disappears
In few days time. Cultures Of the
fungus are supplied to the farmers by
TIE government, and when a swarm
approaches neighborhood all the far
mer has to do is to ride out with
can Of the material and sprinkler OF
twigs, and sprinkle it here and there
on the insects as they fly past him.
In a few days there will be an end OF
that particular swarm. 1t is mention
ed as characteristic of the local Dutch,
that they refuse to have anything to
do with the new method Of exerminat-
ing what is one Of the greatest ob-
stacles to successful farming in South
Africa. They say God created the To-
Gusts and it is sinful to destroy them.

Household Hints,

When dressing fish that are slippery
and difficult to hold. dip the fingers in
salt.
II one can wear old, loose kid gloves
Willie ironing they will save many CAL
loused spots on the hands. ~:
In ea-making hard water is always
to be preferred to soft since it dis
solves less of the tannin in the leaves.
In adding milk or cream to tomatoes
for bisQue, have both hot and then
add pinch of soda. This Will pre-
vent curdling.
Milk is an excellent substitute for
soap in washing dishes. A half cupful
to dishpan half full of hot water is a
good proportion to use.
To soften hard water when you do
not wish to boil it, drop little piece of
chalk into the pitcher and In a snort
time the water will be quite SOFT.
Eggs that it. is desirable to keep
fresh should be put in a cool, dark
place. And it Is always desirable to
keep eggs fresh. One that isn't fresh
is nothing short of an abominatiOn.
In lobster salad, lettuce leaves
torn in coarse bits. are used in place OF
celery, the lobster coral is sprlnkled
over the mask Of mayOnnaise and tho
small lobster claws are used in the
decoration.
Bits of brown bread, graham, ETC.,
make Just as good pancakes as do bits
of white bread, which as most house
keepers know. are very appetizing ana
quite unrccognizablc when converted
into pancakes. Soak up and make
just as you do the white bread.

crenr, in snlnd Dressings.

Some people do not know that
cream Gun be used in salad dressings.
At the same time there Is no question
thtt tho best salad is made Of oil, but
the whipped cream can be acceptably
used in its place, and the taste Is little
different from that of the regular
mayonnaise. A recipe forthis whipped
cream dressing is: Take two eggs
three tablespoonfuls Of vinegar, two
tablespoonfuls Of cream, one table.
spoonful of sugar, d quarter OF table,
spoonful of mustard. The bowl IN
which these ingredients are mixed
should be placed in vessel of boiling
water and stirred until the consistency
of rich cream, then lift the bowl from
the hot water, and, when cool, place
in the refrigerator.

The Best Prescription Is Groves
Tasteless Chill Tonic.
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle
So That the People May Know Just
What They Are Taking.

Imtators do not advertise their formula

cine if you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called ''Taste-
less" chill tonics are limitations. An analysis
of other chill tonics shows that Groves is
superior to all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Grove's-its
