friends gathered at the Catholic
Church, in Charenton. TO witness the
marriage ceremony of Mr.. Evaris,
Richard to Miss Marie Halbert.
From an early hour the little town
had assumed a holiday appearance,
showing in what high esteem the
contracting parties are held. At
the appointed hour the organ pealed
forth Meyerbeer's wedding march.

church, leaning on the arm of her
uncle, Mr.. John Dezauche, and was
met at the chancel rail by the groom
and and his best man. Mr.. Ernest
Delhaye. The bride was attired in
an immaculate costume of duchess
satin, trimmed in love knots and real
lace, her veil of illusion was dainti,y
held TO her rich auburn hair By a
sun burn, the gift of the groom. She
carried a bouquet of Chrysanthc-
NUNS and ferns. The most impos-
ing ceremony was performed by Rev.
Father Ponchon who was himself
Tiled with emotion. Tue church was
a bower of cut flowers and ferns.
After the ceremony the happy couple
accompanied by hosts Of friends, re-
paired to tile brides home where con-
CALCULATIONS were extended.
Mr.. and Mrs. Richard left imme- |
lately after the reception for their

The movement in favor Of the
early closing of stores and business
houses which is going on in many
towns and cities is, as we believe,
a step in the right direction.
There is really no sense in keeping
clerks and employees tied up to the
counter so many hours. People
should be accustomed to do their
trading and their business during
the natural hours Of the day. 1t is
largely matter of habit. This
reform is gaining ground and the
early closing of all kinds OF bust
ness houses will become general
wherever the propiietors Of bust
ness pieces are agreed that it
shall he SO.

to reduce to perfect order the seeming
tangle of planetary evolutions. The
law really amounts, in effect, to this:
All objects suspended within the va
cancy of space attract or pull one an
other. How they can do this without a
visible connecting link between them,
is a mystery that may always remain
unsolved. But mystery as it is, we
must accept 1t as ascertained fact. 1t
is this pull of gravitation that holds
together the sun and the planets, fore
ing them all to follow out their proper
paths. Why should not this same
gravitational attraction be at work
among the Pleiades? II it Is, we must
suppose that they, too, have bounds
and orbits set and interviewer, revo-
buttons and gyrstions far more COM
pick than the solar system knows. The
visual discovery of such motion of ro-
tation among the Pleiades may be
called one of the pressing problems of
astronomy today. We feel sure that
the time is ripe, and that the discov-
cry is actually being made at the pres
ent moment; for a generation of men
is not too great period to call mo-
ment. when we have to deal with cos

1t is said, has been able to furnish

to scenes OF war has in a measure
created a demand for the scrub stock
also, many Of which class have gone
into the Delta on the plantations to
replace the mules which are not to
be had. This has taken the price of
even these animals up from $25 a.si

deficit in young mules in the State on

CONDENSED from Farmers Review
S.enographic Report)
At the last Wisconsin Roundup In
stitute the following discussion took
place:
Prof Smith-The fact is that there
Is no animal odor in milk when IL
comes from the COW. 1t is put in by
the mixer. We have MIXED cows and
set the milk at once, and when it was
opened after twenty-four hours there
was no odor about it. 1t can set for at
least ten days and still have no odor.
Mr.. Goodrich cannot agree with
Prof. Smith In his conclusion that
there is no animal odor In milk in its
pure state as 1t comes from the COW.
A short time ago heard another pro-
lessor talk on this subject. He said
that there are in the body Of every ami
NAL certain eliminating organs whose
work is to eliminate certain gases.
and that the udder has some OF these
organs, which eliminate these gases
from the body and pass them into the
milk.
Prof. Farrington-I think there is a
difference between aerated and I'M
aerated milk that we do not under
stand.
Q.-Does aerating milk improve it
for cheese making and butter making?
Prof. Farrington-Yes, sir.
Mr.. Noyes-Yes, sir.
Mr.. Goodrich-Why doesn't that set
tie it, then, that cheese factories and
creameries should require patrons to
aerate the milk?
Q.-Does not aerated milk give a
better test and a more accurate test?
Prof. Farrington-Yes, sir; l think
that we would get a better test unless
the person that makes the test is care
full to thoroughly mix the milk before
taking the sample
Q.-What is the cause OF cream but
tering in the process of being made
into ice cream? l supply cream to an
ice cream maker in the city, and have
had it butter when it tested q per cent
fat.
Prof. Farrington-There are two
things, either of which may cause it,:
one is the temperature and the other is
the thickness of the cream. Besides
that, the cream may be exposed to ex-
cessive Earring in transportation.
Mr.. Lomar-I have been supplying
cream to a restaurant for three years,
and l think that the trouble with Mr..
! Taylor's cream is due to the man that
makes the ice cream. The tempera-
ture of the cream is too high at the
time 1t Is put into the freezer, and the
freezer was run too fast. The beating
Of the cream produced butter before it
got down to the freezing point.

The British peerage is getting to be
sadly complicated thing. Even off,
cialdom trips up not only occasionally.
but frequently. in trying to get things
right In the Court Circular. 1t is al
most regular occurrence to see in

other official documents a list of cor

the American newspapers are more
uniformly correct in the spelling of
