COtter'S Church.

Not that friend Cotter has founded
a new religion, or built memorial
ediice, but he made candy church of
liberal dimensions-a work ofsacchar-
iue art, which he offered to the one of
his customers who would guess nearest
its weight, the award to be made on
Christmas day. While there were
several hundred guesses there were ten
who were exactly of the same opinion;
viz: that the church weighed thirty
nine pounds-the nearest approach to
it's true weight, but, notexact in ounces.
The ten are James Rice, M. G. Kelsey,
Chas. Hermann, Willie Dix, Eta
Knudsen, Irene Herberger, Harry
Brooks, Mary Watson, Gordon Ingram
and It. H. Fikkan. A second guess
was awarded to the ten, which resulted
in favor of Chas. Herman, whose
guess was thirty-eight pounds and
fifteen ounces.

THE RIGHT THING TO PUT ON.
(Bensons Plaster Is Pains Master.)

From the natural impulse to "put some.
thing on" painful spot all applications
for the relief of pain have arisen.
The most successful have ever been poul-
tees or plasters, and the best of these is
Benson's Porous Plaster.
No other has anything like the same
power as curative agent; it is highly and
scientifically indicated, and its standard
is advanced year by year.
Use Benson's Plaster for coughs, colds,
chest diseases, rheumatism, grip, neuralgia,
kidney trouble, lame back, and other all
ments that make Winter season of suffer-
ing and danger. It relieves and cures
quicker than any other remedy.
Do not accept Capsicum, strengthening
or Belladonna plasters in place of Benson's,
as they possess none of its curative power.
Insist on having the genuine. ..r
The people of every civilized land have
testified for years to the superlatiye merit
Of Benson's Plasters; and 5000 physicians
and druggists of this country have declared
them worthy of public confidence.
In official comparisons with others, Ben.
sons Plasters have been honored with,
Wty.fue highest awards.

sewed Up for the Winter.

This is a true story, and it was told
to the reporter by a prominent worker
In n of the East Side settlements.
The other day a woman living in Isiv-
ington street brought her little boy to
the settlement house and expressed .
desire to have him enter the kinder
garten. The child had a bright face,
but it was wofully dirty, and one of the
Settlement rules is that all pupils must
present at least a clean exterior.
So the teacher looked at the little boy
and said:
why, certainly he can come to the
kindergarten, but we want all the chill
dren to be clean. Give him a good bath
tonight and send him in the morning"
"Bath!" gasped h mother. How
a I battle him? I've sewed him up

Experiments in curing che. Sc.

Prof. G. L. Mckay thus summarizes
some experiments made at the Iowa
Agricultural College in the caring of
cheese:
On the 29th of August, 1898, expert
ments were commenced with a view Of
determining the feasibility of central
curing rooms, and the effects of eli
matte conditions on the curing of
cheese.
Cheese made at Iowa College factory
were shipped by express, fresh from
the press, to n Of the best factories
in Canada to be cured. We also sent
some to Guelph Ontario Dairy School
to be cured. Cheese made at Black
Creek factory and at Guelph Dairy
School were sent here, fresh from the
press, to be cured. Shipping the
cheese $50 miles by express during the
heat of summer did not affect the
favor.
Cheese cured in musty ice box at
temperature Of IS degrees compared
favorably with cheese cured in well
ventilated room at a moderately low
temperature during the month of Oc-
tober. Cheese cured in Ice box scored
2A points higher on flavor and " a
point higher on texture.
Cheese can be exposed the first five
days to a temperature IS high as 80
degrees without injuring its flavor, #
sufficient acid has been developed to
make a frm-bodied cheese and it is
cured at go degrees afterwards.
Cheese cured at a temperature OF
60 degrees, with a high per cent of
moisture, scored higher than cheese
cured at a temperature above 65 de-
grees.
Adding artificial moisture through
pine shaVings in a box worked very
satisfactorily in the curing room, and
left no bad odors.
Fumigating with formaldehyde gas,
to destroy the mould-producing bac-
terra, gave good results.

Co. Operation In Egg Selling.

In egg production, Denmark is forg-
ing to the fore, her exports having
doubled in the last five years. This
has largely been brought about
through the combination of the farm
ers into syndicates. The farmers form
local associations, the officers of which
in turn elect central officers to con-
troll the management of the whole cor
poration. Each egg, as it is gathered
is stamped with the mark of the local
association and the number of the in
dividual in the association. Eggs SO
marked are taken to the central point
when they are shipped to Copenhagen.
If any bad eggs are found at Copen-
hagen, a fine of about $1.00 is imposed
upon the person sending the same, and
repetitions will force one out of the
association.-Prof. w. A. Henry.

There is probably no country on the

The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1901-08-01


A handsome young Athenian girl dis
covered lately that her parents were
not as wealthy as she had supposed
them to be, and that she would have to
work for a living. Being of an original
turn of mind, she at once decided to be-
come a barber.
That no woman in Greece had hereto
fore practiced such a profession she
knew well; yet, though the step was
hazardous, she went ahead boldly, and
hired a large store in the Stadion street
in Athens, which she soon transformed
into q most luxurious barber shop.
Then she placed an advertisement in
all the local papers, In which she court
eously offered her services to Athenian
gentlemen.
The effect of his polite invitation
was instantaneous. On the very first
day her. shop was crowded with men,
young and old, who waited patiently
until h had time to shave them or
u their hair. So dexterous was her
work that almost all promised to be-
come her regular customers. Her sue
cess Is assured, for, though there be
better BARRIERS in Athens, they are all
men, and she is one of the prettiest
girls in the city.-New York Journal.
