Suga estions to Milk Producers.

The dairy commissioner of Iowa
says: Don't buy can that has any
seams In 1t, or If you must do SO,
have a timer fill the seams with SOL
der so that there can be no place
where cream or sour milk may es-
cape the washing. Use a brush In
stead of a cloth to wash the cans, and
rinse them with boiling water. A few
statesmen of hand separators have as
sured their purchasers that one or
two washings of the separator in a
week Is sufficient, and that weekly
or semi-weekly delivery of cream is
all that Is necessary. Both statements
are equally incorrect. The law pro.
vides a penalty for the delivery OF
"'unclean, impure, and unwholesome'
milk or cream to creamery. Such
milk is worth less, and brings less
when converted into butter, than that
which Is clean. 1t will pay to keep
the milk and cream In the best posi-
BILE condition, SO that the buttermakeI
can make the highest grade Of butter
out OF 1t. The separator must be
washed after each time 1t Is used, and
the cream should be delivered every
day. Warm cream should not be
mixed with cold cream. Patronize q
creamery that is near you. Shipping
milk or r'eam long distances lowers
the value of the cream for butter
making. Sell your product to some
one that you can deal with in person

BRTHSAIDA.
Tale of the Time of the Caesars-By
Malcolm Dearborn, Author
of "LiOneI ArdOn.v

This story covers an interesting period,
that of the brutal Tiberius Caesar and the
trial and death of Christ There are two
scenes in which the Saviour figures, as he
Is being led TO execution, and the effect his
presence produces on the two chief per
sonages OF the story Is graphically described.
The hero, Arlstarchus, is a Roman noble
OF great wealth. His father, Petronius, has
been doomed to death by order of Augustus
Caesar, whom he had unintentionally of
tended: On his last night on earth, while
Petronlus was looking from the roof of his
palace, he witnessed a strange light in the
heavens. 1t rose, paused, vibrated, then
slowly disappeared in its course towards
Syria.
While he was still gazing at it, a slave ap-
proaches and announces to him the birth of
a SON The Roman marvels, and at once as
soclates the wondrous light in the heavens
with the birth of his son. The light, of
course, was the star of Bethlehem, pro-
claiming the birth of Christ, whose influence
over Petronius' son makes up the main in
cldents of the story. That night Petronius
dies by his own hand to avoid the ignomin-
ious death planned for him by Augustus
Arlstarchus, grown to manhood, becomes
disguised with the materialism and vapid
luxury of Rome, and is moreover, involved
in quarrel with Tiberius during one of the
latter's drunken orgies. He flies Rome, and
turns Eastward in his course. There he
lSdluS Vi lHe strange lame OF the NdZd-
rene," whom he forwith desires to see. His
wish is granted by a sight of Jesus as he is
being led to execution. The effect upon the
Roman is intense; its revolutionizes his
whole life
The horoine, Bethsada, who gives name
to the story is maiden of humble birth, but
of strange character and commanding beau
ty. Her father has trained her to be dane
ing girl at the court of Plate. She, too, sees
Christ as he is being led to DEATH and the
effect wrought causes her to plan a fight
from the influence of PLATE and his court
Chance brings about meeting between her
and Aristarchus, and their mutual expe-
riences in the encounter with Christ form a
bond between the strangely assorted pair,
whose training and environment had been
SO foreign to one another.
The alternate bursts of tyranny and kindli-
ness that distinguish PLATE, whose love for
his wife, Claudia, despite his infidelty to
her, is his one saving trait, make an engag-
ing study. Claudia herself will, doubtless,
appeal to many readers as the most loveable
character in the book. Her justice, religious
sympathy and devotion are well depicted
The tone of the book is that o unquestion-
ing belief in the miracul GUS birth and mis-
sion of Christ.

paused at the door, and his searching
gaze seemed to her age-long. She sat
like a statue, and he went out, unsteadi-
ly.
Linda's stubbornness disappeared like
magic. Her head dropped Imply on her
arms, and she broke into unrestrained
sobbing. If Kirke had only quarreled,
and given her chance to have at him
with the truth! For who can hurl ieal-
Gus accusations at an offender so meekly
devoid of the appearance of guilt? A
tempest of futile wrath, chagrin, and
something very like desolation, shook
her soul.

Its close locked the vexatious doc

completed the sale of the property over
which their difference began, and which
he had declared it inadvisable to dispose
of on account of its steady rise in value.
The price, in Fl. & o. bonds, constituting
the bulk of her little fortune, was a part
of the package, which grew more hateful
to her every time she looked at it. A
bitter reminder it was, of the bright DAYS
when she first put her business affairs
and heart both into his keeping. How
proud she had been, when through per-
severance and self-denial he arose to
the dignity of gilt sign and growing
