Signs of Brain Softening.


One of the most common of the GER
ebral disorders is what is known as
general paralysis or softening of the
brain. Says distinguished writer: 1T
is a disease of civilized life; it is the
penalty which we pay for our civiliza-
ton, the proof Of our rapidly increas-
ing brain evolution, with increase of
mental excitants, such as social and al
coholic stimulants." Men are affected
by it much more than women-some
say in the proportion of four or five to
one. They lead a life Of greater eX-
posture, of greater excess, of greater ex-
citement in business affairs. 1t has its
three stages; the first of general ex-
citement, the second of quiet, and the
third that of dementia and advancing
PARALYSIS. 1t is the disease Of middle
age. AS a general thing it first at
tracts notice in it's victim by display
ing an alteration in his habitual de-
meanor. The quiet, unobtrusive man
becomes noisy and demonstratiVe,
boastful, and full of eXtravagant talk
about himself, his doings, and his pow
ers. He is bright and optimistic. He
becomes a spendthrift, launches into
speculation, and makes large pur-
chases of worthless real estate. Some
times large amounts have been dissi-
pated and unhappy families impover-
ished by this squandering of property
by the head of the family, who has by
reason of his inflamed and diseased
brain been seized by what the French
picturesquely term "a del1r1um OF
grandeur" Aside from these symp-
toms, his moral sense undergoes
change, and he commits excuses IN
every direction toward which he never
showed the slightest tendency before.

The Pope's Endurance.

A Rome correspondent of the PARIS
Messenger writes: The Pope is GER
tainly a wonderful man. He got over
his fatigue of opening the Holy Door
so we'll that he was able to say Mass
on Christmas Day in the presence OF
all his court. To see this old man, on
the verge of ninety, tottering from his
throne to the cardboard door, which
was intended for the real door, you
almost think that every step will have
been his last. But he went through
his three knockings and three chants
quite safely and then tottered back to
his throne. Then he was carried
through the open door into the Gregor-
ian Chapel, where he, took refreshment
and went through the ceremony OF
hand-kissing by the brothers who are
to guard the Holy Door during the year
After this he was carried in his Sedia
Gestatore in front Of the High Altar
in st. Peters; and it was from this
Sedia that he finally blessed the peo-
pie, for he did not leave the Sedia al
all. As he passed to and from the altar
| in the midst or ,he people, who filled
every corner of the vast edifice, the
Pope looked as If he could not reach his
rooms alive, and yet on the following
| day he was saying early Mass as usual
and has since been giving audiences
| to bishops and archbishops. With hi:
| ghost-like and old parchment appear
ance, he may yet live to hundred.

This Rooster Wore n Scarfpfn.

The crack chicken story comes from
the kitchen of the Golden Eagle hotel
at Reading. 1t concerns an energetic
young rooster that crowed and grew fat
while carrying in its gizzard a stickpin
nearly two inches in length. the sharp
point of which had worked through the
muscular second stomach Of the fowl
and protruded a quarter Of an inch on
the outside.
Josiah Barnes, the second cook at the
Golden Eagle, was engaged in cleaning
a lot of fowls preparatory to cooking
them for the Sunday dinner. While
handling particularly fine, fat, young
rooster something pricked his hard.
He made an investigation and found a.
sharp pointed instrument protruding
through the gizzard. He cut open the
organ and was surprised to find a stick
pin therein. The pin was mounted
with a diamond shaped piece of pearl
on which was gold letter wv"
The young rooster had probably OBJ
served the piece of pearl and, believing
it to be an extra fine pebble with which
to digest its food, had made the mis-
take Of swallowing it.-Readlng Search

SoloN x. BERRY.

The town Of Thetford cannot alone
claim the loss in the death Of one Of her
prominent citizen, Scion X. Berry, who
died April II, Of heart failure, age 10
years.
"Cncle Sol'', as he was known by
everybody, had been confined to the
house for Il couple of weeks under the
doctors care. The first of last week he
was 80 much improved that he attended
the district convention at Montpelier,
Tuesday, the 18th. returning on the
evening train to Wells River, remaining
at llale's tavern over night going home
Wednesday morning, and attending to
his usua. business affairs on that and
the following day purchasing a horse,
and being in the village the day OF his
death, remarking how much improved
he felt in health.
Retiring about O'clock, his heavy
breathing attracted the attention of Mrs.
Berry, land death, as calm and quiet as
falling asleep, ensued.
The funeral was held in the church
Sunday in charge of the GAR. Flow
ers, comrades, friends, attesed his worth

He perhaps is better und more wide
ly known in connection with the con-
stabulary service of the county, having
been principal actor in many important
criminal proceedings. Any trust placed
in his bands received prompt and pains

\ life long republican, strong in bis

TROUBLES IN THE DAIRY.
How to Overcome or Avoid Some of
the Most VexinE AnnOyamces
In Butter Making.

A very annoying experience on the
farm dairy is to have the butter refuse
to come. A very fertile cause of this
annoyance, especially on the average
farm where only few cows are kept
and there is only sufficient cream for
churning once or at most twice week,
is the mixing of sweet and sour cream.
1t is not an uncommon practice to skim
each days cream into crock, and then
some morning when it is convenient,
the housewife concludes to churn. She
warns the cream to the proper churn-
ing point and then proceeds with the
churning and finds that it takes an un-
reasonable length of time for the but
ter ito come" she wonders what the
trouble is. Investigation has shown
that ripened cream, that is, sour cream,
churns easier than sweet cream, there
fore. when the churning contains a
mixture of cream that is three, four
or more days old, together with that
which is still sweet, we have condi-
%eS e eaf Hny s9 9Se c s%set
cream being much slower to churn.
keeps the other butter from coming.
In addition to this trouble, we find that
when the mixed cream is churned the
particles of butter in the ripened cream
finally gather first. Thu butter-maker
discovers that the butter has come and
stops her churning. Were she to test
the buttermilk with the Babcock test.

ton of the butter was still in the hut.

long enough it might have been got.

pail of buttermilk, which has been left
standing for some time, and which
shows layer of cream on the surface.
when this condition exists the loss of
fat in the buttermilk is considerable.
as the tester will show. TO secure
thoroughness of churning in reason
able length of time, the cream should
DE kept as sweet as possible by keen |
ing it cold until IS to "a hours before
the time to churn it. 1t should be
stirred thoroughly rs each new lot
is added. Having decided when you are
to churn, the cream, if still sweet or
nearly so, should be warmed up to a
temperature of G5 or 20 degrees to
ripcn. The temperature at which it
is set to ripen depends on the
length of time it must stand before
you are able to churn, also on the con.
ditlon of the cream, whether it is sweet
or beginning to sour. The higher the
temperature at winch the cream IS set,
the more rapidly it will ripen. When
ready to churn, the cream should be
thick and have smooth, vclvety APP
pearance, that is, free from Jumps, and
have pleasant sour taste. This is
condition which is difficult to describe
on paper, but will come from expert
ence.--Irairie Farmer.
