THE BRITISH TOURIST.

Train Boys Attentions.

He Was Pleasantly Surprised by the
Train Boys Attentions.
The British tourist sat In the car and
gazed idly across the bleak prairles.
He felt slight touch and looking
around, found that uniformed youth
had deposited several rudy oranges
on the seat.
Tile didn't wait for the money" re-
marked the tourist, gazing from the
fruit to the rapidly retreating train
boy.
''He never does" said the fellow pas
senger, with knowing smile.
ooh, l seel 1t Is one of the advan-
tages of your great railroad system.
Free fruit for its patrons"
The British tourist was just peeling
the second orange when dainty pack
age of chocolate confectionery was de.
posted on his knee.
"By Jove" he exclaimed enthusias-
tlcally, "thls Is delightful! When re-
turn home, l shall write paper on the
excellence Of American travel"
In less than ten minutes lie was the
recipient of another package. 1t was n
iltlic DOA COHlulnluS II uiiCk cigar anu
two matches.
mo wonder you Americans like to
travel" he said, biting the bitter end
of the cigar. Then lie found that
comic publication had found Its way
to his seat
"Thls is great" he grinned. Il am
going to tip the boy. Wait n moment"
The train boy halted, and the tourist
held out Il dime.
what is that for?" asked the boy.
"For yourself"
you owe me n half, mister"
"Owe? / thought you were giving
these things nwayp
mot today. The half, please"
But why don't you take the money
when you leave the stuffr'
because we'd never sell It,"
The tourist reluctantly handed over
the coin.

of American travel" asked the fellow
passenger.

SALTED BUTTER.

why 1t Keeps Better Than butter
That Is Fresh.
Why does salt butter keep better
than fresh butter2 We must first real
lie that the bacterial population of a
moderate sized pat OF butter may be
reckoned by millions, that n tiny lump
only large enough to go into thimble.
has been known to be tenanted by
nearly 100000 that, In fact, In con-
summing slice of bread and butter you
may unconsclously be asslmllating in
dIyldunl lives exceeding In number
those Of the whole of Europe. Thus
the urgency for keeping these hordes in
check and hence the efforts which are
made, first, to set up effectual barriers
to their ingress by taking proper pre-
cautions In the production of milk and,
second, In the conduct of the processes
involved In the manufacture and dstri-
button of the finished article.
Included In these processes Is the ad-
dition Of salt in such quantities as to
Justify the butter being known as salt
butter, this addition being made with
the object of extending the keeping
powers of the butter or, in other words,
to suppress to large extent the aetlvl-
ties of the butter bacteria. That salt
does act In this manner Is shown by
the fact that In butter thus treated
very large reduction In the number of
heterogeneous present Is effected.
There can be little doubt, therefore,
that the common butter microbes do
not by any means regard salt as their
elixir of life.
In England horacie acid Is said to be
extensively used In butter as preserv-
alive or antiseptlc agent, while In the
United States n recent public health
document states that none was report
ed TO have been found In the samples
of butter examined. This is probably.
due TO the fact that In America there
exists n strong prejudice In favor of
salt butter, whereas in England the use
of salt butter Is the exception and not
the rule. Hence in America salt can
be used as a prescrvative instead of the
boracle acid employed for that purpose
In England.
The densely populated condition of
butter above referred to Is not to be
wondered at If we realize that the raw.
material In the shape of milk may con-
tain from 100000 to as many as 160,::
100000 of bacteria in few drops

If the future population of the earth
IS to be estimated on the basis of race
vitality. then there is no question but
that the Hebrews will yet be in the
majority. Statistics show that the
average longevity of the Hebrew race
Is greater than that of any other. Their
numbers must therefore be increasing
relatively to every race. and they GER
tainly are. Whether 1t is due to the
sanitary measures enjoned by their re-
ligion or because of native vitality Is
for students of sociology to decide, but
the fact still remains. Yet numbers
are not always to control the destiny
| of the race, and 1t Is to be supposed
that fraternity and good sense are slow
ly wiping out race dlstinctIons.-Bos

The Gentle Art of Letter Writing.

The Gentle Art of Letter Writing.
The classic age of letter writing, like
that of chivalry, is gone, although no
Burke has been found yet to utter its
splendid funeral grafton. Correspond
ence on business, hurried notes contain
ing invitations to dinner or acceptances
thereof-these are the missives which
fill the bag of the letter carrier. The
love letter, we presume, still holds It's
sway, and, II we are to judge from the
revelations of breach of promise eases,
1t is full of sugary sentimentallsm as
In the days of Lydia Languish. But
the letter as it has passed into litera-
ture, the letter whose highest claim to
be treated as art is that 1t conceals art,
the letter as written by William Cow
per, er Oliver Goldsmith, or Horace
Walpole, or Miss Burney-that charm
ing epistle intended only for the affee-
tionate perusal of friends and yet of
such value to the historian of life and
manners-shall we say that 1t has dis
appeared from the busy modern world,
killed by the railway and the steam,
ship and the thoughts that shake man
klndT AS least 1t is now but rare
product, a fragile flower scarcely able,
to maintain itself in our altered social
soil.

A COUNTRY ROAD.

A dusty, stony way whose bord'ring sod
Is thick with blackberries and goldenrod; 4
Abrupt bare hills on one side looking down, >
And from the other you can see the town IA
Follow the rivers course through meadows green.
Ger which thick woods and marble lodges lean Z
A little farther, where the road descends,
A brooks soft tinkle with some bird cong blends
(Gono from its edge the dear old dance small
cot
Half hidden by quaint Howers); lush bergamot
Makes sweet its banks, its depths the boys still
swim
Or watch the mlnnows from some willow limb.
Upon its bridge how often have stood,
Watching the west, whose glory seemed to food
With tenderest light the poorhouse and the graves
Beside turn to gold the brooklets waves
TIL from the hill, oh, dearest sight Of all,
| saw my father, and / heard him CALI
He cume with sturdy stride and swinging pail
My hand in hls-tod my days whole tale
OF Joys that meath his bright smile seemed to

While esspned was my every childish woe
As his sweet words fell on my soul like balm
While we walked homewarl through the fragrant

Not Quite What She Meant.

A very stout lady while out walking
in a certain part OF Edinburgh came to
a gateway which appeared to be the
entrance to a private road. Not being
certain, however, she asked one OF
two messenger boys who were standing
at the entrance whether she could get
through the gateway or not.
The boy looked her up and down and
across. Then. wlnking to his friend,
he replied:

HUTIN OFFERS TO SELL
THE PANAMA CANAL
Submits a Proposition to Admiral
Walker, Head Of the Isthmian
Commission

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-President HUI
tin of the Panama Canal Company finally
has submitted to Admiral Walker. the
head of the Isthmian Canal Commission,
a proposition on behalf of his company
for the acquisition of all it's rights by tn
United States Government. Tne Panama
company has been restrained up to this
moment from submitting a direct PROPOSE
ton owing to o clause in the concessio1 \
which it holds from the Government of
Colombia which prescribes forfeiture OF
the concession as a penalty for the max
ing of an effort by the company to trans
fer it's rights to another Government.
The company's agents here have been
obliged to act with extreme caution IN
making overtures, but in some way the
Colombian Government has been induced
to wink at this technical violation of the
concession Its terms are not yet dis
closed and it is probable that they vii
not be until the Isthmian Canal Commits
sion publishes it's report. 1t is under
stood, however. that they are considera-
bly, more favorable to this Government
than the figures made to the President
