Washington Jan. 27s--In the SEN
ate Senator Quay, in charge Of the
omnibus statehood bill, insisted on
its consideration to the exclusion Of
other business. When Senator Platt,
Of New York, attempted to call up
committee report providing for the
printing Of a document Senator Quay
objected. Senator Hale thereupon
declared that Senator Quay was con-
fiscating the time of the senate,
The latter replied calmly that this
could be obviated by allowing vote
on the statehood bill. e
A resolution offered by Senator
Morgan, of Alabama, questioning the
credentials Of Mr.. Herran, the Colom-
bian charge d'affaires, who signed
with Secretary Hay the canal treaty,

At its conclusion the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bill was
passed. The Lodge amendment pro-
viding for q reorganization of the

Where the Cream should Sour.

Some hold the view that, since the
cream has TO be soured before churn.
ing, why not let 1t sour on the farm?
This is Objectionable for the follow
ing reasons: /. 1t Is the butter-mak-
er's work to introduce and develop the
flavor In the cream, which gives us
the fine aroma In butter which we, as
well as the consumers, so much desire.
2. The butter will be more uniform
in flavor when one man, who under
stands the work. does 1t, than when
a number, who don't understand it.
are trying to do ii. 3. The proper
facilities to do the work are always
available at the creamery. 4. To most
farmers all sorts of flavors come I'M
der the head of souring. which to the
butter-maker might be most objec-
tionable. s. The maker has made
study of the work, consequently is in
better position to produce what is
required than those who are unlearned
In this respect.--W A. Wilson.

of fortune over which the black star

Of the object of their cruise; but for
Bland and his accursed schooner, the
Spaniard might have been theirs.
However, it was to be the next
ship; Captain Pope had sworn it. Cap.
tain Crystal had echoed the oath. The
men, defeated in their greed, wild to
get money and end the dangerous
cruise, were furiously determined.
1t was a Sunday morning, fair and
peaceful; one of those sweet, warm
mornings, which at sea make you
think of the glad music of the noun

woodland scene, the dusty road, tho

Radiators and InsuIators.

A new electrical radiator, intended
to supersede the steam heater, is
formed by enameled iron plates, the
space between being filed with pow
dered carbon, kept In position by as
bestos cardboard. Into this radiator
are led three copper strips, one at
each end and one in the center. and a
continuous current Of electricity is
passed from the center to the end
strips. With current of eight am
peres. at 200 volts, a heating surface
Of twenty-five square feet can be kept
1t temperature of 1870 degrees
Fahrenheit.
The new material of Jorgen G..
Maardt, an engineer OF Copenhagen, is
not only effective as heat and cleo
trio insulator, but has the advantage
OF being incombustible and insoluble
In hot or cold water or steam. The
material is made from cork dust or
cork waste, peat dust or small peat,
or other like substance. which is sat
urated with waterglass. The result
ing mass Is poured into molds, and is
afterward boiled in a solution of some
chloride. like chloride of calcium or
chloride of magnesium. This treat
ment gives hardness. The mass is
then washed to remove any chloride Of
sodium that may have formed in boil

a note of thunder bawled:
