Testing Butter by Photography

Testing butter. and limitations of but
ter, by photography. is a plan devised in
Minnesota to lessen the sale of the lat
ter by insuring the conviction Of those
violating the law. Oleomargarine is
generally detected without much diff
Guilty. but even the chemist with his
liquids, his test-tubes. and his minute
has found it difficult to draw
the line between creamery and reno
waited butter. and has found it more diff
cult to convince jury with his chemical
formula. With photography, however,
the state chemist says that he can show
the difference between butter and
pseudo-butter to even an inexperienced
eye. "The simple fact to be considered"
he says, lis that pure butter as made in
the diaries or at the creamery contains
only anonymous fat Any heating pro-
cess such as is followed in renovation
and running in of milk Immediately
generates fat crystals. In the oleomarga-
rine, the crystals from the meat fats
added to cottonseed oil are very thick"
Light passed through pure butter ap-
pears dull and translucent, but when
there are crystals in the substance un-
der test bright and dark spots will ap-
pear, forming a peculiarly shaded pic
lure.

The Sand Road.

Shade harms a loan or clay read,
but improves a road of sand or broken
stone. since it prevents the evapora-
ton Of the moisture from the road
bed. Therefore a sand road can be
permanently improved by planting
trees so as to shade the Travelled way.
They will prevent, il part, the drying
effect of the winds, as well as inter-
cept the rays of the sun.
A road on pure sand is improved
temporarily by covering it with thin
layer of any vegetable fibre, as de-
caying leaves, straw marsh hay; waste
from sorghum mills tbegasse), fibrous
or string-like shavings, etc. This
fbrous material soon becomes incor-
porated with the sand and decreases
its mobility. The vegetable matter
decays and wears out, and conse.
Quently the effect is comparatively
temporary. The length of time such
expedients will last depends upon the
climate and the amount of travel
Sand roads improved with three to
four inches Of shredded wood excel
sior) have kept in reasonable condi'
ton for year or two.
The only thorough and permanent
Improvement possible for sand road
is to add layer of tough clay and in
corporate it with the sand. This is ex
pensive at best, and it is difficult to get
fha sand and clov fi1ovauDh1v fufor
porated in the right proportions.

The Garbage Contract,

1t was fayorite idea of the late CD.
Warning when Commissioner of Street
Cleaning that the garbage of the city
could be made to pay the expense of its
removal, if not to return an income to
the city. If he had remained in charge
of the department. under an administra-
ton that supported his plans, it is no.
unlikely that some such result would
have been attained But Mr.. Maggie is
not that kind of commissioner. He
does not have ideas and plans for saving
money or improving the methods of his
department
Col. Warning made a FIVE years con-
tract with the Sanitary Utilization COM
pany for removing the garbage of the
whole city as then constituted for &o,-
900 year, with proviso that the city
might acquire its plant and equipment at
the end of that period. His purpose
was to be ready then to carry out his
plan for utilizing the city refuse in a
manner to return a profit instead of a
large expense. AS the FIVE years term
drew to a close, of course nothing had
been done to carry out the enlightened
project of Mayor Strong's commission
er, but there was form of inviting new
bids for contract so late that nobody
except the old contracting company
could possibly he ready to begin its exc
cution on the Ist of August, when it
must 60 into effect, and that company
boldly raised its bid to 100000 a year
for the two boroughs Mr.. Maggie did
not hesitate to accept it and recommend
ed its approval by the Board of Esti-
mate and Apportionment.

The Duty of Keeping Cheerful.

1t may be that some enthusiastic
and laborious German statistician has
already accumulated figures bearing
upon the question of length of life
and it's relation to the enjoyment OF
length of life and it's relation to the
enjoyment thereof; If so, we are un.
acquainted with his results and yet
have a very decided notion that
people who enjoy life, cheerful people,
are also those to whom longest life is
given. Commonplace though this
soundy, there is no truth more com.
monty ignored in actual everyday ex.
istence. "Oh, yes, of course, worry
shortens life and the contented live
to be DID," we are all ready to say, and
yet how many people recognize the
duty of cheerfulness?
Most persons will declare that II
q man is not naturally cheerful he can.
not make himself so. Yet this is far
from being the case and there ie
many a man who is at present a weary
burden to his relatives, miserable
through the carking care of some
bodily ailment, perhaps, or some
worldly misfortune, who. il he had
grown up into the idea that to be
cheerful under all circumstances was
one of the first duties of life, might
still see a pleasant enough world
around him.-The Lancet.

The Eden Garden In Venice.

In long, illustrated article on "Ven-
ice Gardens" Mr.. Lee Bacon writes thus
in the Century of the Eden Garden in
the City by the Sea:
Where the roses bloom in creates,
profusion is the Eden Garden, on the
far side of the Giudecca, stretching away
in the direction of the salt-marshes,
which give out such strange seaweed
odors
The English gardener, who speaks
with bur and an Italian accent at this
same time, told me the property once
belonged to convict" surmised
that he intended to say convent.
Here the late Empress of Austria was
wont to sketch, and here the Italian
actress Duse, fortunate in being a well
come guest, spends many mornings wan
dering up and down its shady walks.
One is rarely near enough to see whether
it be Alfred de Musset, Dante. or one
of the English authors she has in hand
for as one advances within sight and
sound, the slight figure is apt to lose
itself in the cross-paths, though when
Henry Bacon was painting his picture OF
the Virgin among the lilies he was often
aware of the shadow of the noted Italian
falling almost on his canvas. These
paths are overhung with grape-vines
trained upon trellises, with here and
there great acanthus plants, with the
wonderful foliated leaves which seem to
have been the inspiration and base OF
four-6fths of the worlds decorative de-
signs and carvings. Farther along, hun
dreds of lily plants raise their straight
stiff stalks. and at a certain time are
covered with so many blooms that one
is fairly driven from them by the heavy
perfume.

PASTOR FAILED TO MAKE Go0a'
Promised the Girls Escorts. But Latter
Did Not Appear.

The dearth of men at church functions
has been the bane of many pastors, and
several have sought to remedy this de-
feet in their congregations. The expef-
fences of a pastor in Chicago who prom
ised 10 provide escorts" for the young
women members of his Christian En-
deavor Union who might desire to at
tend a midsummer rally of the organize
ton will not encourage other pastors
to make similar promises. The result
is that some of the best looking young
women are grieved that they did not
get "a man." which one vivacious men,
Der declares that the minister failed to
make good. Three of the young women
are saying nothing. They arrived early.
and each secured a real live escort, for
time at least A fourth is satisfied.
because she walked part of the way to
the meeting with the pastor himself.
According to the announcement, all
young women without escorts were in
vited to meet at the church at J o'clock
last evening. At the appointed hour the
girls began to arrive. They were dressed
in their best gowns and appeared su-
premely happy. When the first young
woman appeared the pastor smiled, for
at that moment young man stepped
briskly around the corner. Another girl
arrived, likewise second man" The
third girl was provided for, and the
pastor looked happy He soon had a
"this-iseasy" look on his face. When
another bright eyed girl appeared the
pastor looked bit anxious, There was
no escort in sight. He walked into the
church a moment Three more girls
ran up They tiptoed to the door and
waited When their pastor returned he
was alone, and the smile had died from
his face.
More girls came and looked enviously
at the three girls with escorts. The pas
tor walked around the corner and re-
turned-still alone-wearing haunted
expression Not another man was in
sight Some one in the crowd con-
quered her disappointment long enough
to litter. Then the pastor explained that
he never intended to promise escorts
for each" but rather escorts for all"
eve are just going over to the tent in
a body" he added. ''and no one is going
with any particular person. This caused
the three early arrivals to frown, and
one caught her escort by the arm. The
disgruntled majority finally prevailed.
and voted that they go in crowd"
Headed by the pastor and one of the
three men, the party started for the tent.
Three girls followed. Then came seven
more girls abreast The other two "es-
corts" acted as rearguard.-Chieogo

One Way to Earn a Wife.

Were you bowlcgged, and your sweet
heart despised bowlegged men, would
you have doctor break your legs and
reset them, You consider it rather a
supreme test of love, probably. But a
young fellow in the town of Debrezin,
Hungary, has proved himself equal even
to such a test as this. He was paying
court to local beauty, who approved
him from all points of view except when
she looked at his bow legs. She simply
would have nothing to do with bow
legged fellow.
That didn't phase the young man. He
went to hospital and asked the doctor
to break his legs and reset them. The
doctors refused. but he begged and
pleaded, and finally won bis point. TIE
operation was performed, and after
weeks of suffering the young fellow was
discharged, an iEch taller than before.
and with perfectly straight legs. Then
the wedding took place.
