The conditions in the flooded dis
tricts are much improved as we go to
press but are still bad enough. In
this part of the state we notice the
disOre anized train service more than
anything else. In addition to the
floods to the east of us there have
been washouts in Colorado so that
the service has been delayed from
both sides. The astonishing feature
is the marvellous celebrity with which
repairs are made while the floods
still continue to rage. All railroad
men have been working over time ex-
cept the local freight crews, and with
them every day has been Sunday.
They have been riding back and forth
over the roads with little to do, as
only local freight has been moving,
aud not much of that.

LAM BSKIN. The lambskln
has in all ages been consldened
as an emblem of innocence and
peace, The Lamb Of God who
taketh away the sins OF the
world, will grant to those who
put their trust in Him, his peace
He, therefore, who wears the
lambskin as q badge Of Masonry,
is reminded of that purity OF life
and conversation, which it Is alb

observe, who expect TO be ad'

LAMECH. After the sun had
descended down the seventh age
from Adam, before the food OF
Noah, there was born unto Ma
thusael, the son Of Mehujael, q
man called Lamech, who took
unto himself two wives; the name
of one was Adah; and the name
of the other Zillah. Now Adah
his first wife bare him two sons
the one named Jabal, and the
other Juoal.
Jabal was the inventor of ge'
emetry, and the first who built
houses of stone and tim Der: and
Jubal was the inventor OF music
and harmony. Zillah his second
wife, bare Tubal Cain, the in
structor of every artificer IN
brass and iron; and a daughter
called Naamah, who was the first
founder of the weaver's craft.
LEBANON. The forests OF
the Lebanon mountains only
could supply the timber for the
Temple. Such of these forests
as lay nearest the sea were ID
the possession Of the Phndicians
among whom timber was in such
constant demand, that they had
acquired great and acknowledg'
ed skill ia the telling and trans
portstiCn thereof, and hence il
| was of such Importance that Hi
ram consented to employ large
bodies of men in Lebanon to hev
timber, as we'll as others to per
form the service of bringing il

was to be taken along the coasts

Reducing Water In Butter.

In order to decrease the water con
tent where 1t is necessary, the follow
ing rules should be observed, says Q
Swedish buttermaker.
Churn at a low temperature, wash
the butter thoroughly and drain well.
Add the salt before the working is
commenced. After the salt has been
added, do not work the butter more
until after 1t has become hard, prefer
ally the next morning, but then
thoroughly and not in too large pieces.
Place the butter in an ice box OF
refrigerator after the first working
and not in water. At all times In
making and working the butter the
quality must, of course, be considered
In the first place and the water CON
tent only in the second. High water
per cent is no hindrance for high quail
ity but must not be gained at the
expense Of the quality. AS one OF
the requirements for high water per
centage is that the butter is to be
worked while 1t is still soft, the butter
after 1t Is packed in tubs must neces.
sarily be kept at low temperature. II
there are no affective means for cool.
ing the butter at hand, a method OF
working must be employed, which, at
the expense of the water conte7t
gives the least grain to the butter

cured me before had used the whole
of the first box, and l haven't been

I'm January Of this year | had an
attack of Sciatica that made me
almost helpless, and remembering
how much Dodd's Kidney Pills had
done for me before, sent and got
some and began to take them at once.
'In three weeks was well, and not
a trace Of the Sciatica left, and have
been well ever since.
"Dodd's Kidney Pills have certain
ly been of great benefit to me. have
found them a friend in time OF sick
ness, and l will always recommend
them to every one suffering with the
troubles that bothered me-"
