Rest Butter In the world.

The butter of Denmark is considered
superior to that of all other countries.
1t brings the highest price in fancy
markets and can be found all over the
world liz shops where luxuries are
sold. In South America, South Africa,
in the East and West Indies. in India,
Egypt and In tropical countries gener-
ally it is used by epicures, who pay 81
a pound for II in tins of one, two and
three pounds weight. No other coun-
try has been able to produce butter
that will stand changes of climate so
we'll
Refrigerator ships are now found on
nearly all the big steamship routes,
and they can carry perishables as long
and as far as necessary, but butter
shipped by the ordinary cargo steamer
usually melts and remains in a liquid
state as long as it is exposed to the
tropic heat. When it passes into the
temperate zone again. it hardens, and
the change usually spoils it for the
taste, entirely destroying the flavor and
leaving it like ordinary grease or OIL
The Danes, however. produce a butter
which will endure this ordeal without
affecting its flavor or sweetness, and
they are the only people of whom this

The slowness of the process of tan
ming is largely due to the difficulty with
which the tannin penetrates into the
hide. As the penetration progresses
the outer part of the hide becomes con-
verted into leather and is thereby made
impervious: consequently the rate of
penetration decreases. Months Of soak
ing in the tan pit are therefore neces-
sary for thick hides. Many attempts
have been made to hasten this absorp-
ton of tannin by hide. The methods
used include circulating the tan liquor
so that fresh portions are continually
presented to the hide. forcing the liquid
through the hide by pressure and using
strong aqueous extracts of tanning ma
terialS
1t has been sought to attain the same
object by passing a current of electric
ity through the vat in which the hides
are suspended. One such process has
been found to shorten the time of tan
ming to q quarter of that necessary
when no current is used. and the leath-
er IS said to be unexceptionable-E

The MoOrs and Their Morals.

In appearance the Moors are a very
fine race. For many generations their
mothers have been chosen for their
beauty An active life in the saddle
has developed them physically and
splendid appearance is the result. In
addition. they have manners of I'M
equaled suavity and polish. the result
of early years spent in the harem.
They are so habituated to think well
of themselves as followers of the true
prophet that an uneasy conscience
never troubles them.
A man may be an utter scoundrel,
cruel and licentious, and yet be regard
ed as saint If he Is descended from
the prophet and conforms to the out

is frank and unclouded, his smile is

impossible to describe the details of his
life. Such are the Moors-an interest

Three visitors travelling in the Isle

rng toward them. They thought they
would take a rise out of him, so one
accosted him, saying:

as far as America from the top of this

'Oh. yes said the old man. ''If

you much further than America"
So. chuckling to themselves, they de-
cided to follow him. After trudging
for about half an hour up the noun
tain side in a boiling sun they began
to feel rather tagged and kept asking
the shepherd how much further they
had to go.

that, Notwithstanding the fact Of their

occupying the intervals between our

usually very short. two or three sec

Remarkable Wedding Card.

Perhaps one of the most remarkable wedding cards ever issued has been re- ceived by Professor Fred L. Grambs and Mrs. Grambs of Birmingham.
 At the top of the card, in golden let ters. is an invitation to the golden wed- ding celebration of J. s. Milan and wife. and immediately below that, printed in the usual black ink, is an in- vitation to the marriage of Nr. and Mrs. Milam's youngest child, Miss Virginia Milan, to w. P. Brinckman, all of Denver, Colo. That is to say, that Mir. and Mrs Milam's youngest child was married on the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding; the date of the parents union being August ', 1851, and the mar riage of their youngest born being Au- gust ', 1901.
 Probably this wedding card is unique, that none other like it was ever issued.

KLONDYKE GOLD PUTS
 NEW PHASE ON MARKET

New York, August 1.-The Herald says:
 According to the best information, the advance in the demand for sterling was due to the necessity for demand bills against receipts of Klondyke gold, falling at time when there is a notable dearth of bills in the market.
 "The purchase of demand bills to remit to England the proceeds of the gold com ing into the country from the Klondyke and British Columbia adds new phase to the present curious exchange market, and is apt to put a different aspect upon the gold receipts from these sections than that which has ordinarily been placed upon them by Wall street, where gold from British Columbia, the Klondyke and Alaska has been regarded as adding so much new wealth to the country.

A FAMOUS LAW SUIT
 MAY BE COMPROMISED

According to evidence before the Dallas court 1t was shown that in 1864 he met Miss Mary Gray, who was at that time living with her father at New Orleans. General Mexia being on active duty with the Mexican army at Tampico at the time fixed for the wedding. a marriage by proxy was arranged The validity of this marriage by proxy has repeatedly besn attacked, inasmuch as General Mexia, in 1868, married Mrs Ramsey, the widow of Col. A. c. Ramsey. before his death a United States army officer.
 Three children were born to Mrs. Ram sey while she was Colonel Ramseys wife Clarence M., Inez and Adele. The sec ond wife having died on March 2S 1896. the general married Miss Martha ". Weightman of this city. When General Mexia's will was offered for probate in Dallas It was found that he had left all his estate to Inez and Adele Ramsey Mexia. The Ramsey -Mexia sisters have now offered to compromise the case. 1t is said. and the question of accepting the terms of compromise offered Is being con sidered by the other side. It is possible that an agreement will be reached before the return of MT. Plowman to Dallas next month, according to statements that he has made here.

New York, August 7.-George II. Flow man. a lawyer of Dallas, Tex, is in the city for the purpose of consulting his clients. Mrs Mary Gray Mexia, widow of Gen. Enrique A. Mexia of the City of Mexico and her daughter, Miss Amaea Luce Mexia, who are among the contes- tants of the will of General Mexia, who died in the City of Mexico in 1896.
 His estate consists of more than 5000 acres of land in Texas, as we'll as bonds ard other property.
 Offers of a compromise have been made by some of the contestants, and MT. Plowman will discuss these terms with Mrs. Mexia and her daughter. says the Herald.
 The contest of the will. which has been before the courts of Dallas for more than five years, Is one of the most celebrated law cases of the state. The estate, orig inally valued at s1, 900, OOO. is now believed to be worth about s2OO,OO0. Mrs. Mexia is now living in Paterson, N. J., where they have resided for several years.
 General Mexia held a high rank in the Mexican army; was a close friend of President Diaz for long time, being one of his chief advisers, and for many years was president of the Mexican lottery.
