4 Red Letter Day.

On Sunday February Z, Sexagiesima
ST. Mary's Episcopal church, Webster,
had another red letter day IN her calen-
| dar. Three years ago the church was
built and consecrated. AT that time and
untii nog the old chairs and ehancel
furniture, IN use from the inception of
the mission in about 1890, had been used
During the past the three years The
members have been planning to furnish
the church in a fitting and churchly
manner. And now they see their
wishes and plans fulfilled. The new
furniture is DOW in place and was used
Sunday for the first tine.
All the furniture is of the richest
quarter-sawed oak, rubbed and finished
i'll antique coloring. The sanctuary
furnishings are exceptionally rich. The
reredos is in five panels, eight feet in
highth aud about the same in width,
with "a fret work of grape vines aud
fruit along the top. The alter ard super
table are of massive construction carved
in old English. On the frontal Of the
super table being Holy, Holy, Holy
and OF the alter ''This do in Remember.
ance 81 Ne" The alter has five panels
aud six columns. On the end panels are
the Alpha and Omega respectively and in
the center panel, the Sacred Name. The
two interior panels have conventional
lied Maltese crosses. All these symbols
are in raised design, executed IN taste.
The bishops and priests chairs, within
the alter rail. are in accord with the
the rest of the sanctuary furniture. The
alter rail is Of chaste design-simple aud
substantial. The fald stool and chair,
which stands outside the rail, are all
that could be desired. The lecxern is
solid and adds to the beauty Of the sur
roundings. The chior stalls are in har-
mony with the rest of the fixtures, not
only being..handsome and ornamental,
but are also filling a long felt want of
the choir, for now the place is in keeping
with the high class of music they so
acceptably render.
The pews are the acme of comfort
ana convenience. With carved backs,
seats that conform to the body, and the
racks on the backs are convenient
receptacles for service books. notices,
etc.
A handsome stone baptismai font,
beautifully carved, a gift from the Bis
hop, is daily expected, and when that il
in place at the chancel step, st. Mary's
church, Webster, will have - complete
and as handsome furnishings = can be
found anywhere.
Thus has God prospered ms in times
past: may His blessing still be spon u.

WHY CREAM TESTS VARY.
Professor Harrington Answers "a
Question which Is often Asked,

Professor harrington Answer. "a
Question Which Is often Asked.
In answer to a correspondent as TO
the cause OF so much variation in the
bests OF cream, Professor Il. II. Earring
ton In the Country Gentleman replies
as follows:
Cream often contains considerable
air mixed with it, either that which
is forced into it when milk is skinned
by a cream separator or from the gases
formed when cream sours. On ac-
count of these gases a pipette full of
such cream will hold a certain amount
OF air, and consequently not the full
volume of cream. Cream is so much
thicker than milk that more or less OF
il adheres TO the inside walls of the
pipette when 1t is emptied. The glass
does not drain so thoroughly as when
milk is measured. and there Is left con
siderable fat in this cream adhering to
the walls of the pipettc. This adhering
cream is not of lXliform Aiuantity.
More of 1t may be. left in the plpette
RAb 1ANdAAlp lhtlA Ilbll olAltINs
The amount which sticks 10 the pipcttc
depends a great deal on the richness
u ripeness of the cream measured.
Cream bottles and pipettes may not

ured into the test bottle. There is a
difference in the tests made by weight
and by measuring the cream. 4 thin
cream containing about IL per cent
fat may be measured with Il pipette
and fairly correct results obtained, be.
Il n pipette full of such thin cream
will weigh nearly eighteen grams. But
4 pipettc full of rich cream containing
~ o. more per cent will weigh some
Where about sixteen grams, and when
this is measured into q test bottle the
result obtained will not be nearly SO
accurate as may be the ease when a
minner cream IL measured and tested.
