ABOUT KEEPING BUTTER.
Some Points Which May Contain il Suggestion for the Careful
 Housewife.

The flavor and aroma of sweet pure butter are very pleasing to the senses, and due to the growth of organisms in the cream during the ripening process it undergoes when butter is made in the plain orthodox way. Pasteurized cream produces butter devoid of flavor. A trace of casein remains in all but ter, and this is matter to be consid- cred by the housewife, and in keeping butter any great length of time this undergoes decomposition and the but ter may become rancid As butter con tains from 12 to Is per cent. water this facilitates the change. We'll worked and dried butter will keep longer than that carelessly made, says the Washington Star
 On the continent butter is kept al- most indefinitely by melting it down and then boiling until all the water is evaporated or driven off. The casein is then removed from the melted but ter by straining through cheesecloth or thin muslin; the oil poured into wide-mouthed bottles or jars and al- lowed to cool; then corked up tight 
 and kept in a cool, dry atmosphere. When required it can be used same as ordinary butter. This clarified butter makes very light, delicate pastry and cakes.
 Butyric acid, from which butter de- rives it's name, may be said to be the "hall mark" of butter. When butter becomes the least rancid this acid is liberated from the butyrin, and butyric acid is very decided irritant. We can readily understand that with the presence of these two elements, butyric acid and casein, in butter, one should not use any but the freshest of butter, unless it is preserved as directed, and when fresh supplies are available this plan is hot to be recommended alto gether

Orange Cream Pie.

Cream one-half cupful of butter with 1h cupfuls of sugar (using the hands instead of a spoon is considered by many to be the better way), two thor oughly beaten eggs, two-thirds cupful flour. sifted with two heaping tea spoonfuls of baking powder. Bake in Washington pie tins. Filling-One pint of milk, two eggs, two-thirds cupful sugar. Stir together with the sugar two tablespoonfuls of flour and add to the milk as it begins to boil. Boil few minutes, stirring constantly. When it is done remove from the fire and flavor with the juice and little grated rind of an orange. Let it cool and spread between the layers of the pie.

Applied Religion.

Robbie belonged to severely or thodoN family. He was taught to fear nothing, and trust God. He often heard his grandfather remark that he 'trembled for sinners" and this expression saved Robbie in an hour of need.
 One night there was terrific thunderstorm. Robbie stood it as long as possible, then fled to his mothers room.
 Robbie, are you afraid?" asked she.
 No, ma'am"
 'You know God can take care of you as well in the storm as at other times?"
 "Oh, yes!"
 "Then what are you shaking for?"
 Mother, I was thinking of sinners, and | thought that would come down and tremble with you for them. Brooklyn Life.

PToMAIN-P POISONING.
Frequently Caused fy Eating Foods Containing the Gcrms-symp-
 toms and Remedies.

This is term used populariy to designate the symptoms due to poi soning by damaged food Like many other popular terms and not few scientific ones-it is not strictly cor rect, for in the great majority of cases of blood-poisoning the offending mat ter is not ptomain at all, but poison elaborated by certain bacteria present in the food. This poison may already exist in the food, or if may be produced in the sufferers body after the bac- teria have been admitted. In other cases the food has not begun to putre- fy, nor has it been contaminated with poison-producing bacilli, but is in itself poisonous. This happens in mushroom poisoning and in poisoning by certain kinds of fish, says Youths Companion.
 Preserved foods-canned coldstor age, picllled-are those most common ly responsible for poisoning, since the bacteria which make the poison or in- duce ptomain formation have ther longer time in which to develop. The bacteria of putrefaction in spoiled fresh meat are often of comparative ly harmless kind, so far as their effect upon the living organism is concerned, and by their rapid growth they choke the other and more noXious kinds, and prevent their development.
 When the food contains ready formed poisons the symptoms come on soon after eating, and usually disap- n fo +o1 oTo1i ayp #. ed; but when the food contains noNious bacteria which are, as it were, dormant, and need the conditions found in the living body in order to multiply, cer- tain period elapses from several hours to a day or more, before the danger ous symptoms declare themselves.
 The symptoms of food-poisoning nat urally vary in intensity according to the nature of it's amount, the suscep- tibility of the individual, and so on. There may be only an acute indigestion, marked by nausea. vomiting, and per haps diarrhea, CT the poison may over whelm the nervous system, causing collapse, convulsions, unconsciousness paralysis, and then death.
 The first thing in the way of treat ment is to get rid of the offending ma terial by emetics and purgatiyes, al though nature generally attends to that with the first sign of poisoning. After that cleansing of the intestinal tract from the disease germs may be called for, and stimulants for the flag ging heart and the oppressed nervous system.

A MOMENT OR so.

I would like to go back for a moment or
 so, Back to the fancy hung Long Ago. To the old-fashioned house i'll the dusty
 lane And be for a moment a boy again. I would like to go back where the fields
 are green
 And wander across to the old creeks
 flow I would like to stand in the joy serene Of the shadowy peace of the Long Ago. I would like just one glance at the even
 tide
 Of the misty mornings with dew aglow At the spot where the sparrows were
 wont to hide. And the fields where the wild-nowers
 used to grow. I %olf1d like just one drink from the old fashioned we'll I would feel if I could the mystic spell That ever clings round what we call Long
 Ago I would like to go back for moment or

only One Wellington.

That was a graceful compliment which was paid to the duke of Well lington by Queen Victoria. Not every one recalls the fact that certain style of high boots, not commonly worn nowadays, bore the name of Wellington.
 When the duke was prime minister he once visited Windsor castle to con sult with the queen on an important state matter. The day was damp, following heavy rain, and as the duke left the castle her majesty re- marked, q hope your grace is we'll shod?"
 "Oh." said the duke, 'I have on a pair of Wellingtons, and am proof against dalnpness."
 The queen retorted: Your grace must be mistaken. There could not be a pair of Wellingtons. ."-Yoath's Companion.
