Ballast For Ships.

To solve the question of ballast many
eXpedients are resorted to, and the re-
suits obtained often are singular. The
most popular ballast is stone or rock.
and every shipmaster who halls from
the port of New York knows. or is sup
posed to know at least, the relative
value Of certain grades of rocks at
various ports besides the metropolis.
He can dispose of a cargo of stone to
contractors here which will more than
reimburse him for the expense Of load
ing and unloading, and if the shipmas-
ter is alert he will arrange for such
disposal many months before his re-
turn from some out of the way corner
of the world.
Every time a sailing vessel returns
from a foreign port she usually is Wis
tied by contractors or their agents.
who make competitive bids for her
ballast cargo Of stone, if she carries
one This stone is used mostly for
matchmaking and paving streets. Ere
quently material is brought over which
is good enough for building purposes

Fall of the Beautiful" VIII Prove of
Benefit to Loggers.

state Saturday night and will prove q
great benefit to loggers. Dispatches to

Cumberland, Wis, Jan. 15.-Tnere
was good deal of snow Saturday
night, the first of the present winter.
1t relieves an embarrassing situation
among the sawmill men. log jobbers,
tie and stave men, in this region, who
were becoming alarmed lest it would
be impossible to bank the enormous
cut of logs and bolts now on skids ow-
ing to the lack of snow. This insures
good business in all lines for the COM
ing season. 1t will prevent hard wood
famine.
Manawa, Wis.-The lumbermen and
others who have a large amount of
hauling to do this winter are much
gratified over the heavy fall of snow

A Grand Thing.

It was a grand thing for the credit
of the federal government, for the con-
tidence Of the people in the integrity of
that government, that the oleOmarga-
rine swindlers were forced to submit to
the full penalty Of the law for their
nefariouS work in Washington and
Philadelphia, says HOard's Dairyman.
They were arrested in the latter city
in December, 1896 for removing the
word "oleomargarine" from packages
containing that article, and strenuous
+ efforts were made by their counsel and
all the money Of the Oleo combine in
Chicago to save them from imprisOn-
ment.
It is stated on credible authority that
at one time the government was offer
ed $4,000 to compromise, and the mat
ter was left to United States District
Attorney Beck, who, to his honor be
it said, refused to accept it, although
the treasury department was greedy
enough for the money and cared so lit
tie for the consumers and producers as
to recommend that the sum be accept
ed and these Barabbaslike conspira-
tors be released. The United States
appellate court has refused their plea
for mercy, and they will have to serve
out a term Of imprisonment, besides
paying heavy fines.

Music For Fish Bait.

An eccentric hermit named William
Schueller, who lives at Franklin, Mich,
is said to be one Of the most successful
fishermen in his part Of the country,
and he claims to call the fish to him
by singing "Old Hundredth.' He goes
out in his boat and takes a station in
fairly deep water. Then he sings, at
the same time keeping his eyes on the
water in search Of fish. Gradually the
fish crowd about his boat. he claims,
and when enough are gathered togeth-
err the willy fisherman casts a net and
catches dozens at single haul. The
old gentleman has famous voice, and
his strange story.-Chicago Record.

SUNSET.

Turn not to the east wnen the day is declining
And the glory of sunset is here;
Too sad is the light the far hilltops defining
In outlines too pensively clear.
Though fair was the morning its gladness is past,
And the days brightest beams are reserved for
the last.
The morn is for growth. and the noontide is
stronger
In all that is bravest and best,
But the hands become weary as shadows grow
longer,
And we look to the evening for rest.
And why should sigh for the mornings delight
When ripe for the quiet and peace of the night?
Turn not to the east when the day is declining
Nor the past with tear,
When bright DER the hilltops the red light is
shining,
And the glory of sunset is here.
Enjoy, then, the moment, the brightest and best.
When morning is dawning away in the west

PRICES OF BUTTER.
Gome of the Differences Between
Dairy and Creamery Products.

Dairy and Creamery Products.
In looking over the large butter mar
kets we find the prices quoted to be
from about 10 to % cents per pound.
Some years ago the difference was
much greater, varying from 80 cents
down to cents per pound, writes Pro-
fessor F. G.. Curtis of Wisconsin. The
markets show a better state Of things
now, for perfect article of butter can
be bought for a reasonable price, and
the extreme low qualities are not sent
to the large markets. The improve
ments that have made this change
were first discarding the use of the
common shallow open pan for raising
the cream and using in it's stead large
deep pan, setting in cold spring or ice
water. Then came the deep setting, a
can about s inches in diameter and
20 inches deep, with close cover, set in
cold water as deep as the milk, which
was called the shotgun, q common
sense can which has proved very valu
able and is still largely used where
parties are unable or unwilling to use
a separator. Further improvements
were made in the use of the thermOm-
eter to secure the necessary tempera-
ture and stopping the churn at the
granular stage of churning. Then came
the creameries, so called, which brought
into use improved machinery and uten-
Bils for manufacturing large quantities
Of butter of q uniform and extra quail
ity.
Much ignorance exists as to the
meaning Of the word creamery"
M"ny suppose it to be a newfangled
process that produces a butter that is
good only when new, but does not keep
and robs the honest dairy woman of
her hard earned reputation. | think
this ignorance carries with it a preju-
willing to learn or even admit that the
so called creamery butter that brings
% cents per pound is as good as that
made in the old way, much Of which is
sold at q far lower price. 1t is true that
many farm diaries have adopted the
simple improvements have alluded to
and are making just as fine butter as
the high priced .creameries-yes, in
many cases better, as they command
the milk used from start to finish-and
I will add that by adopting these sim
pie improvements they can make more
butter. perfect article, and save half
the labor over the old way. The labor
is the cause of nearly all the bad but
ter complained of.

Deadly War Missiles.

In 1870 an ordinary shell when it

Today it bursts into 240. Shrapnel

WASHINGTON AND BURR.
Alleged Cause Of the Break Betveel
the Two Great Men.

Alleged Cause of the Break Between
the Two Great Men.
An old lawyer, speaking of dramatic
incidents in court, said: "Jere Clemens,
a once famous United States senator
from Alabama. told of trial in which
Burr appeared for the defense of a
man charged with murder. My recol-
lection is that the trial was in the
southwest.
"When Burr addressed the jury, it
was night. The guilty man was in the
room. He had been the principal wit
ness for the prosecution. but Burr had
learned that this witness was the as
sassin. and in closing his address for
his client he picked up two lighted
candles from the table. and. holding
them in the face Of the witness refer
red to- he eXclaimed: Gentlemen of
the jury. there is natures verdict. Now
write yours At that moment the wit
ness fed from the room. After Glenn
ems told this story he wrote a his
torical novel called The Rivals; or The
Times Of Hamilton and Burr In that
book he wove the incident into one of
the chapters. The book is out of print
and has been for many years. But it
had great sale, particularly in the
south. before the civil war. for Glenn
ems was a typical southern orator and
man of wonderful personal mag
netism. The object of the novel was
to make Burr hero and to besmirch
Hamilton's character.
"In one chapter where Burr was high
in the esteem of Washington the latter
is represented as reading letter from
Hamilton in which Hamilton detailed
some scandalous gossip about Burr.
Burr was standing behind Washington
during the reading Of the letter. Wash
ington. incensed at the contents Of the
letter. turned quickly and saw Burr, to
whom he said, How dare you read my
letter over my shoulder" Burr. as
Clemens represents, stung to the quick.
drew himself up and replied with all
the hauteur of his nature. When your
majesty addresses such an inquiry to
me in the manner you have. the Only
reply Gecency can prompt is. Aaron
Burr dares to do anything This, Glenn

between Washington and Burr."-New
