Personalities In England.

: 1t is entirely probable that a law
will be passed in England at an early
date permitting the use of borax in
butter TO the extent of one-half of one
per cent. The same law will prohibit
the use of any preventative in milk.
On January 10. 1899, Parliament
passed law creating commission to
investigate the harmfulness or harm
lessness of preservatives in butter and
milk This commission has been at
work for over two years collecting evil
dence and making experiments. It
has sought Information not only in
England but in foreign countries The
report that it will make to Parliament
is known and 1t is believed the re-
port will result in the law mentioned.
The important thing about it is that
it will prevent the use of preserva-
tives in milk. That is the substance
largely used as food, especially by In
valids anG children. No person eats
enough butter at any one time to be
greatly harmed by the one-ha1f per
is entirely different 1t is far more
likely to spoil than butter and this
fact induces recklessness the part
of people using preSerEatives in it.
Its use in butter should not, however,
be encouraged Butter can be kept
without it, provided it was made in a
clearly manner and from clean mate
rails Perhaps the English favor for
preservatives in butter is due to a de-
sire to encourage the import OF butter
from the colonies, especially Austria
lla and New Zealand. Those countries
cannot ship butter to England with
out the use of some other preservatiye
than cold The Danes have been urging
this as reason for the purchase OF
Danish rather than colonial butter.
We believe, however, that the Eng
Ssh people viii still prefer to buy but
ter without any preventative in it

Two Yarns Told
by Medical Men

There are few physicians who could
not tell some amusing yarns about
their experiences during the VAGINA
ton period A RoXbury, Mass, doctor
told this one the other day: "A brawny
wage-earner put in his appearance and
barred his arm VIII it hurt?' he ask
ed. Oh it will tickle a little I re-
piled I thereupOn scratched his arm.
When the operation was over he said:
That was a HI of a tickle -
A domestic called upon doctor. She
was fine. buxon young woman and
her arm was one we'll calculated to ex-
site admiration. The physician could
not but compliment her on it's beauty
When she got home she was not a lit

little studied. though 1t is evidently
OF great importance The observations
that have been made have shown the
evaporation to be comparatively great
and surprisingly uneven. Why one
egg should evaporate SO per cent more
water than another is hard to under
stand The Rhode Island station in
one of its reports on this matter says:
The average weight OF the three eggs
from which goslings were Matched was

losses were follows: Egg No lost
in Matching 1887 o.; egg No. lost
2.1719 or, and egg No. lost 2-1S75 o.
The gosling from egg No. was the
only vigorous one, but whether the
smaller amount OF evaporation from
that egg had any relation to the vigor
of the gosling we cannot say

Reply Neat

In the smoking room of a Swiss no.
tel a discussion recently took place
between a German and American
as to the merits of their respective
armies. The former believed in dis
cipEne and trained troops as he be-
lieved in the hereafter. The American
believed in training, too, but held
that a lot depended upon the material

aroused German. UNFRAMED troops

ones. Take your own country, for ex-

army. What would you dog" He
paused impressively, and then said:

Some Excuse for

that old man with a silk hat and
three big bundles was hurled down the

The young woman picked herself up
and gasped: This is outrageous" The
old man said, as he CROPPED about for
his bundles: -1-confound it-know it

this final outburst: "Confound it all,

British Train de Luxe.

For some time past the Liverpool
Atlantic passenger companies have
been negotiating with the London and
Northwestern Railway with a view of
getting a more luxurious train be-
tween London and Liverpool for the
steamer service They were backed
up by the American consul. The result
is that the first train de luxe left

day with the Campania's passengers.

therefore decided to use this pictur-

MARLBOROUGH Owns
Worlds Finest Picture

The Duke of Marlborough is believed
to be the possessOr of the costliest
painting in the world, which was at
one time the property of the first Duke
of Marlborough The picture is known
as the ''Blenheim Madonna" painted
by Raphael in 1907, and now valued
at no less than $3.50 600. 1t is eight
feet high, and represents the Madonna
and Child seated on a throne. with a
figure of John the Baptist on the left
and that of St. Nicholas of Bari on the
right. Its almost fabulous value is due
to the fact that it is one of the best
preserved of the artists works in ex-
istence.

Made Profit on
Christmas Gifts

A recently married couple who re-
ceived on Christmas day great many
pieces of silver. each in the regu1a-
ton satin-1ined box, profited by their
gifts in a way that the donors may
not have suspected. They collected
all their boxes on the following day
and returned them to the silversmiths
from whom they had been purchased.
Some of these cases cost almost as
much as the silver that they con-
tanned. The dealers were willing to
take them back at their own prices
and give silverware in return for
them. It is the custom of most of the
big jewellers and silversmiths to change
the style of their boxes each year

Poultry Briefs

The time when eggs are scarceSt Is
the two months from December first
to February first. To get eggs at this
time is a problem. Yet it can be
done; for some men do it, Mr.. Henry
T.. Reed of Adams County, Illinois.
writing to The Farmers Review on the
subject says: During the last TWEEN
ty years 1 have bred twelve varieties
OF standard fowls. The Light Brah
mas have produced more eggs for me
from December first to February first
than any other variety. I am certain
that the production of eggs in winter
can be greatly Increased by proper
stock and feeding. The good results
from any flock of fowls come entirely
from proper care and handling"

Tho Cleaners.

The cid custom of cleaning in the
harvest fields, which recalls the BiDli
cal story of Ruth and Naomi, is not
obsolete in England, and in Hertford
shire, Bedfordshire and the neighbor
ing counties as soon as the wheat Is
gathered in the late days of August
there may be seen in the newly cleared
fields numbers of women and children
diligently picking up one by one the
scattered ears and forming them into
neat little sheaves, which they carry
in their hands until large enough to be
bound up. When the daylight fails,
all the booty is bound up in cloths and
carried home on the heads Of the
cleaners. At home they thrash it out
by hand and sell the grain or use it
for their chickens. The gathering of
q half peck is usually full days work
for child, and often woman spends
a whole day in gathering very little
more. Cleaning, however, is looked
upon somewhat in the light of picnic.

Thunder Lore.


The natives of the Hawaiian lsla nde
considered thunder as being Mauna
Loa's echo from the clouds. This Gu
rious notion has crystallized weather
proverb which Is now current among
many of the white residents of the
islands-viz, "It will rain today
Mauna Loa shakes the clouds" In
this connection it may be remarked
that the early Scandinavian settlers III
Iceland believed that there were some
mysterious and supernatural connec.
tons between the rOarings of Hecla and
the angry mutterings of Jove." In
England many of the peasantry still
plant the house leek-"Jupiters beard"
on their house roofs as a preventive
against thunder, lightning and evil
spirits, a custom which reminds one of
Charemagne's edict, EFT habeat quis-l
que supra domum suam Jovis bar
bam."
Another widespread superstition, and
one that has been noted among the
tribes and nations from China to Eng
land and from Cape Hatteras to the
Golden Gate, tells us that if the ''claps"
or resorts of thunder come in even
numbers the storm will be of short
duration and very mild, but, on the
other hand if they come in uneven
a series Of five. nine or thirteen Gts'
tinct claps. much toss Of life and prop
erty will result.
