A nIrdinrnI snrrirnl.

1t may interest some of your readers
TO know that the archaic method Of
reckoning by tallies Is still in vogue in
Pau While there I saw a bundle OF
tally sticks there called tailles) sus-
pended in a bakers shop. and on in
quiry / found that most OF the poorer
country people thus registered their
purchases until they were able to pay.
The tally stick IS cut down the center,
the baker and purchaser each retaining
a half. and when loaf Is sold the two
halves are fitted together. and a notch
is made across them, the purchaser thus
keeping an exact check upon the bak-
er's score. Upon any payment being
made a corresponding number Of
notches are shaved Off.-London Athe-

ly crept into his Office the other night
with the silent stealth of the son-of.a-
gun who committed the crime of rs, and
stole Toms razor, handsome piece of
cutlery to which the owner was greatly
attached. The next day Tom went out
and bought another razor and a SIS gun
with which to protect it. That night he
went out to mix up with Andy Edmiston
and Jim Foster in front of the Bailey
house, and the same fellow, or his blood
relative, went in again and stole the gun
and a fine cane which Toms brother had
given him, and Tom has since been too
mad to look for his razor.

WHEY BUTTER TO BE
TAXED As BUTTERINE
Internal Revenue Commissioner Believes
II Is Largely Used in Renovated Article

The Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nus has decided that hereafter whey
butter must stand tax Of 10 cents per
pound and that manufacturers must
pay license of $500 and wholesale
dealers license of 1880. Collector of In.
ternal Revenue Henry Fink has been in
structed to notify manufacturers to
this effect This tax is the same rs is
imposed on colorsd oleomsrgarins and
renovated butter The theory Of the
government is that the product contains
over i6 per cent: OF moisture and
that it is sold largely through the Eas,
and tho big cities of the country tC
dealers who color it and distribute IL ~
renovated butter
Whey butter is made only by the
brick or limburgsr cheese factories. In
all other cheese factories tho method is
such ~ to draw the butter fat out of
the milk, Leaving very little of value in
the whey In the brick and limburger
factories, owing to the fact that the
considerable butter fat Is left in the
whey The whey is then drawn off into
tanks and allowed to stand until Its
cream containing the butter fat comes
to the surface This is skimn off aud
churned
State officials say that the product it
very much like creamery or dairy
butter in appearance and can only be
detected bv the taste, which Is sour
Dairy men claim that ii ia sold pr:nci
pally 20 bakeries for cooking purposes
In recently published interview A
!. Decker. a dealer in dairy supplies
throughout the vicinity Of Foud du Lac
contended that the product ia perfectly

vention of the German Catholic Socie-
ties Of the state. on fentacostal Mon
day next June. The convention is to

35c and st. Boniface Hall was crowded.
The programme was carried out IA

both to themselves and ths institution.
The features of the evening we're the
singing of a plantation lullaby by four
boys, who took the four parts with
accuracy and expression, and the re-
markable violin playing of Master
Richard Urban This Young man,
whose father is the leader Of the city
band, shows such talent that his friends
are strongly considering the advisa
bility Of his taking course of study at
Prague
The success of the entertainment is
due In large measure to the organist
and choiImaster OF s.. Boniface church,
Thomas Stemper. Mr. Stemper is also a
teacher in the psrochial school and has
succeded in inspiring his pupils not only
with desire for work but with real
love for music.

NOT TIME FOR STATE AID
Father Piel Discusses the ParOchial
School Question.

Whom interviewed by a representa-
tive Of the Manitowoc Pilot regarding
the reports that various Catholic socie-
ties Of the Green Bay diocese had asked
for State aid for their parochial schools,
Father Piel Of the Church Of ST Boni.
face in this city said that the reports
were untrue. He was of the opinion.
with Bishop Mesmer, that the time was
not ripe for anything Of the sort.
However, he continued the fact Of
the matter is that that is what it will
come to eventually Yon zee our chill
dren are not getting sufficient religious
teaching in the public schools. Pri-
marily 1t is the duty Of parents to in.
struct their children in religion but
parents do not do their dniy IN this re.
spect. This of course applies to all de-
nominations and no movement to give
State Aid which did not take in all de-
nominations should he begun.
The question probably arose with
regard to the Indians When Grant
was president he requested the Catholic
Church to undertake the religious in
struction of the Indians and he pro
missed State aid. But since his time
this aid has gradually grown less until
now the Church has the entire burden
on it's hands The Church may make
some effort to recover part Of this aid
but do not know anything about 1t.
