Why II Keeps Better Than Butter
That Is Fresh.
Why does salt butter keep better
than fresh butter? We must first real
lze that the bacterial population OF a
moderate sized pat of butter may be
reckoncd by millions, that tiny lump
only large enough to go into thimble
has been known to be tenanted by
nearly 4S.00o.000, that, In fact, In con-
sumlng a slice Of bread and butter you
may unconsciously be assimilating In
dlvidual 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 distri-
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 activi.
ties Of the butter bacteria. That salt
does act In this manner is shown by
the fact that In butter thus treated q
very large reduction In the number Of
micro-organisms present 10 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 boracic acid Is said to be
extensively used In butter as preserv-
alive or antiseptic agent. while I'm the
United States a 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 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 preservative instead OF the
boracic acid employed for that purpose
In England. s
The denseiy populated condition OF
butter above referred to 10 not to be
wondered at IL 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.

ways In which to LEARN How Fast
You Are TravelinE.
"There has been some picturesque
fiction written about the ease with
which railroad men and drummers are
supposed to tick or the miles as the
train speeds along from things they
can see from the car windows" said q
railroad conductor to a reporter.
There Ia only one strictly accurate
way. and that is to seat yourself on the
side of the train from which may be-
observed the white mile posts that line
the road and hold your watch on them.
II you have split second watch. II
will prove interesting to note that
while you made one mile In 60 seconds
the next was covered In 53 and the
third In 20 seconds. and 20 on. as the
speed of the train increases or slack
ems. You may also follow around the
little second hand on an ordinary
watch. 1t kills time.
''Some pretend TO say that they can
tell the speed of the train by counting
the telegraph poles. II there were an
exact number of telegraph poles to ev-
cry mile, this might be done by a little
figuring. but there is difference. The
number of telegraph poles to a mile
vary from 33 to 20, depending upon the
straight stretches and the curves In the
track. the latter having more poles
than the former. So. you see. 1t 10 not
as easy as the drummer would have
the other passengers believe.
''If the poles are planted 33 to the
mile. they are 100 feet apart and every
II passed represents third Of mile
1f placed 40 TO mile. they are 132 feet
apart. and every 20 represents half q
mile.
These are easy figures to remember.
and by applying them on journey q
passenger may obtain an idea more or
less accurate OF the speed Of the train.
Another way Is to attempt TO count
the clicks Of the wheels of the truck Of
your car as they pass over the rails
where Joined. The rails Of the roads as
placed today are too evenly Joined to
arrive at an exact determination by
this method. because II you miss two or
three joints your calculations are
thrown out as to accuracy.
However. there are railroad men
who cannot tell you the number Of rails
to the mile OF their own roads, and
rails vary In length. the average being
80 feet some 80 feet and some 90 feet.
At 30 feet there are l76 rails to the
mile. and IL you can count 176 consecu-
tive cilnks as your train flies along you
may determine its speed and not other
wiae."- Washington Star.

A Cnrslng CeRteat.

A professor of languages some years
ago on returning from India remarked
upon the paucity of Objectionable
phrases among the British working
classes when compared with the abun-
dance supplied by the orientals Of sim
ilar rank To prove this he gives q
case which came under his own notice.
aIe had dismissed q manservant for
dishonesty, and the next morning at @
O'Clock he sought an Interview with his
former master. He fiourished carv-
ing knife. with which he plainly in
Fended TO emphasize his remarks.
When he found 1t impossible to gain
admission he sat under the window,
and the swearing" process began. He
cursed the professor along the gene
illogical tree back TO the first ancestor
of his race. Then he dwelt upon every
detail OF his~@natomy, from the top OF
his head to the end OF his toes For
three consecutive hours he sat there
and swore," says the professor, with
out once repeating a phrase"
While travelling on the underground
railway In London q party of working
men entered the same compartment
and intersperscd their remarks with
the commonest forms OF swearing"
The professor politely asked them to
desist, whereupon he was told to mind
his own ---- business. He at once com
menced to translate into English Some
specimens of eastern oaths which he
had heard n Calcutta merchants serv-
ant use to a misslonary's servant. The
men sidled from him as II he had the
plague and at the next station sought

THE STATEHOOD MOVEMENT.
Since the great statehood coLven'
ton the board of trade has taken UP
the work of securing statehood for
Arizona on lines of private commu-
nication with those in a position to
give material aid to the cause. This
work has been kept up without rela-
ton and the results are most graft
flying.
Every senator and congressman has
been written to and many letters have
been received from them acknowledge
ing the correspondence and announc-
ing their willingness to help to the
extent of their ability.
But the board did not stop there.
Correspondence was began with COM
merclal bodies all over the country and
they have also responded most cheer
fully as instanced by the following
short excerpts from few of the many
letters received.
From II. =. Wood. secretary OF the
San Diego chamber of commerce:
Our board Of directors are unani-
nous in their desire that the people
of Arizona might secure the rights OF
statehood and direct me to assure
your board that the roverent has

A Book Humter'a Worry.

The worry Of finding that book is
incomplete Is often to be expected.
Often most respectable looking books
have a page missing somewhere. One
cannot trust even folio that has been
connected with religious houses all Its
life. 1t may be invincibly bound In the
strongest calf; 1t may have passed all
its quiet. unread days behind glass and
be as clean as on the day on which 1t
was issued, and yet page 34l may have
vanished.
We once knew n man who had firm
belief In the devil and for this reason:
He said that he could hardly count the
imperfect books by which he had been
misled In his time, and in nearly every
case these books had a highly respect
able past. They had grown mellow In
monasteries or had been carefully tend
ed In great libraries, where they were
never touched except to be busted. 1t
seemed morally impossible that harm
could have come to these books, and
yet each one had II page missing some
where. Therefore he was reluctantly
forced to the conclusion that the devil
was In It, He supposed that when the
devil was in need OF more quotations
he abstracted n page from some little
read book. choosing 1t both in order
that he might obtain a reputation for
wisdom and also that he might not be
found out.
We do not uphold this theory. but we
do recommend the book hunter. so far
as possible, to collate every book OK

STATE HEROES.

A bill having been introduced in the
Pennsylvania Legislature apprcpriating
$4,000 to assist in the erection of monu-
ment to the late Colonel Hawkins, Of the
Tenth Pennsylvania Infantry. who lost his
life in the Philippines, General Harrison
Gray Otis, of Los Angeles, Cal. has writ
ten requesting the privilege of contribute
under General Otis in the Philippines. He
was a veteran of the civil war, and for
twenty-one years an officer Of the Penn
sylvania National Guard, and General Otis
says "A skillful, experienced and intrepid
veteran officer. whose memory it is duty
and a delight to honor
The action of the Pennsylvania Legisla-
ture, so promptly and generously indorsed
by General Otis, shows the right spirit of
great commonwealth towards its sons
who give their lives to the country. The
Nation cannot honor all such as they de-
serve. and its imperfect efforts should be
supplemented by the States. Indiana has
erected the finest monument in the world
in memory of all her soldiers and has
erected individual monuments to General
Clarke, of the revolutionary period, and
to General Harrison, of the war of 1872, but
she has not erected individual monu-
ment to any soldier of the war of the re-
bellion or of the late war with Spain. A
bill that has been introduced in the Legis-
lature providing for the erection of a monu-
ment to General Pleasant A. Hackleman,
who was killed in the civil war, and to
General Lawton, who fell in the Philip
pines, affords an opportunity to make the
States record complete in this regard
which ought not to pass UNDECIDED. Every
State should remember its patriots and
heroes.

The State Legislature has progressed suf-
ficiently in its work TO attract a great
many onlookers. Many visitors attended
the sessions held yesterday. Both branches
held morning and afternoon sessions, ad-
journing early enough to permit the COM
nittees to dispose of matters set down for
hearing. Perhaps the most important event
of the different sessions yesterday was the
consideration Of the primary election bill in
the House.
The bill was advanced 20 second readins,
and after being amended in various ways
it was ordered engrossed. The considera-
ton of the bill had been made a special or
der of business for the afternoon. Al
though the most of the amendments that
we're made to the bill came from the Dem
ocratic side of the House. 1T did not APP
pear that politics cut much figure in the
case. The argument over the measure de-
veloped smart opposition from different
quarters. and, IS finally amended, the bill.
IL 1T becomes a law will only apply to
Marion county and the city of Indianapolis
Other cities and towns may have the law
K they decide that they want it by vot-
ing for 1t at the first election after the
measure becomes operative. To Repre-
sentative Davis. Of Greene county, belongs
the honor of having amended the bill so as
to make 1t compulsory only in Marion
county. When the bill comes up again
it will be on third reading and on it's
Passage. There still appears to be doubt
among members as to the final success of
the bill, oven in its amended FORM
Another important feature of the House
proceedings was the Introduction of bill
by Representative James providing for d
change in the management of the Industrial
School for Girls and Woman's Prison.
In the Senate one of the important mat
tiers to occupy the attention of the members
was the introduction of number of new
bills and favorable report of the commit
tee on Senator Agnew's antitrust bill. The
bill reappropriating $4,000 for the compile
ton of the soldiers and sailors monument
was passed under a suspension of rules.
the committee on finance reporting favor
ably on the measure. During the day, in
the Senate, Mr.. Stiwell offered resolu-
ton relating TO Ex-Governor Taylor and
Charles Finley, Kentucky refugees. The
sense of the resolution was that the senti-
Dlent of the Senate would be In favor of the
Governor honoring another requisition for
the return of the exiles in the event an
other attempt is made to have these men
returned to Kentucky. Lieutenant Gov
ernor Gilbert held the resolution to be out

James further relates an incident that was

story goes Miss Kelley sharply criticised
the girl for displaying garments that she
had earned with her souls blood and
warned her not TO bring them out again.
Mr.. James does not criticise Mrs. Minturn
