The Lesson Of the Brook.

From the New York Times.
The girl from Dakota was spending the
spring months In rural city In New
England. She had never been east before
and was breezlly enthusiastic over the
delights of the New England farm and
woodland and especially lavish In ex-
pressing her JOY in little brook that
ran through the farm.
''Do you know" she said. when her
hostess protested against so much en-
thusiasm: do you know. I never saw
a real brook before. I used to read Ten
nyson's Brook and think 1t rather fool
ish and ceaningless. / never saw a
brook rush and gurgle and dash and
sparkle and prattle until came into this
part of the country. Where / live the

poem all through again now. and I am

The minstrel Maids act consists of
nine pretty maids who present an entire
minstrel first part. consisting Of all the
new Jokes up-to-date songs and dances
which would do credit TO an Al Fields

When Salt Appears in Butter.

In the summer time 1t is quite COM
mon to see butter with salt standing
on it. Agricultural papers frequently
receive letters asking why the salt
comes out on the butter. The explana-
ton is simple and the butter can be
easily kept in a normal condition. The
salt comes out of the butter simply
because the butter is kept in a dry
atmosphere. This causes the mois-
ture in the butter to move toward
the surface of the butter and evapor-
ate into the air. AS it was salt water
in the butter it is salt water when it
gets to the surface of the butter.
But in evaporating it cannot take the
salt with it, but has to leave it. At
first the amount of salt deposited is
so small that the residue Of salt Is
not noticed. Later, however, the &C.
cumulations become SO large that they
are apparent to the eye. If the but
ter were weighed before the evapoIa-
ton and afterward it would be found
that the loss of weight had been con-
siderable. Keeping the butter In a
moist place will prevent the accumu-
lation of salt. If the place where the
butter is stored is opened several
times day it will be advisable to
keep a crock Of water in it, that the
evaporation may regulate itself. But
where butter is stored in cool place
that is not often opened there will be
little trouble from this cause. The
lower the temperature the less the
evaporation. Places where the tenn
perature is high and ventilation good
dry out the butter quickly and leave it
covered with salt

EVERYTHING Tucked.

Everything is shirred or tucked this
summer. Shirt waists are tucked,
and whole frocks are tucked, and
smart little coats are tucked or plait-
ed all over. Gowns of soft materials
are shirred, and it is the prettiest pos
sible way to make them. The one
illustrated this week is charming
example. 1t is of white dimity, dotted
with pink. The waist has a shirred
yoke, and then blousss over a girdle
of pink silk. The skirt Is shirred in
four places, and finished with little
rufIle at the foot A hat of white
shirred lawn is worn with this frocI,
tho only trimming being big soft
bow of pale pink ribbon The shirt
waist illustrated this week is of de-
sign suitable for silk linen, or any
wash goods. The fiat little box plaits
are very smart, and the lace or en-
broidery used down the front and
around the neck gives very pretty
finish.

Spelt (Triticum SpeItal.

Spelt is a cereal which in appear
ance is intermediate between wheat
and barley, but, in reality, is one of
the types into which wheat is di-
vided. 1t Is native of the countries
near the Mediterranean sea. At the
present time it is grown principally on
the poorer soils in Switzerland, south
ern Germany and northern Spain. 1t
Is also grown at an elevation in Swift
zerland where the common wheat
| CTriticum vulgare) will not thrive.
For general cultivation is is consid-
cred much inferior to the finer varie-
ties of wheat. The head is open, mar
row, beaded or bald, and is usually
very long. When the grain is threshed
the head breaks into pieces at the diff
ferent joints, or nodes, leaving the
grain still clasped firmly by the chaff.
In order to make a separation of the
chat from the seed, special machinery
Is required. The grain. is medium
hard, and somewhat compressed at
the sides. The grain in Ontario fire.
quently called Spelt belongs to the
Emmer class, and is, therefore, i'm
properly named. To find out the
value of Spelt for growing in Ontario,
we have imported at different times
no less than ten varieties from Swift
zerland, Russia, Germany, the Argen-
tine Republic and the United States.
Two of these varieties proved entire
failures, two others gave poor results,
and the other six varieties yielded
moderately well. AS the grain is en-.
closed by chaff somewhat similar to
oats, and weighs less than 40 pounds
per measured bushel, the results here
presented are given in pounds, in
stead of bushels of grain per acre
One Of the best varieties of Spelt has
now been grown in the experimental
plots for five years, and has given an
average yield Of 1923 pounds of grain
! per acre.-Ontario Station.

Currant jelly.

To make currant jelly that will keep
almost any length of time: Weigh
one pound of sugar to each pound of
fruit after weighing, put the currants
in patent wine press or in fine
sieve that the seeds will not go
through; it is not necessary to strip
the Currants from the stems; press
the juice all out; then strain it
through a very fine sieve or through
a cheese cloth; pour the juice after
straining into preserving kettle, and
stand it over a slow fire. When the
juice is quite hot, stir in the sugar,
and keep stirring until it is dissolved.
Let the whole simmer gently till it
drops as thick as jelly from the
spoon; then pour the jelly into glasses
and stand it in the sun until it is
quite stiffened; then paste paper over
the tops of the glasses.

Lovely prawlna.Room Gown.

A lovely gown worn in a fashion
able drawing-room the other day was
of black net. 1t was trimmed with a
very heavy lace applique. This trim
ming extended around the foot of the
gown and up the front. The lining
of the dress was of black satin.
But the distinguishing feature lay in
its note of blue. For the gown, which
was Of heavy black net, lustrous and
trimmed with much gorgeousness, was
belted around the waist with a wide
blue sash. This, which was banded
around the waist to form girdle, was
tied on the back in a heavy knot,
while the ends hung down to the foot
of the skirt. They were wide sash
ends, too, and made beautiful note
Of color upon the skirt.
This fancy for wearing blue sash
with black gown is quite a growing
one and is to be observed frequently.
Again, a wide red satin ribbon sash is
tied around the waist of an all-black
gown. So that the note of color is
complete.

to make it grow. Sprinkle it on the
scalp three times a week before re-
firing and massage it in with the TIPS

into small proportions and brush well.
Whenever possible, let the hair fall
loose. This will add to its growth.

Velvet Hat TRIMMING.

A new and simple method of using
wide ribbon velvet on a large hat was
exemplified by woman lunching at
Sherry's. The hat was a dull green. 1t
had wide brim and low round crown,
the latter very small in proportion to
the brim. The straw was a fine chip
A band Of dark green velvet encircled
the crown, and from it, at irregular
intervals. extended plain fiat widths of
the velvet ribbon, the ends cut in two
points-that is, a Vshaped section was
cut out of the centre at each emf
These pointed sections were of differ
ent lengths, and one extended nearly
to the edge of the brim. Two or three
similar sections were fastened to the
underbrim, which fared up little at
one side.-New York Tribune.

As Milk Grows Old.

In an experiment on the relation OF
temperature to the keeping property
of milk, at the Connecticut Storrs
station, the bacteria in milk multi
piled Avefold in twenty-four hours
when the temperature was so degrees
f., and 759 fold in the same time
when the temperature was 70 degrees.
Milk kept at So .curdled in eightee en-
hours, at 70 in forty-eight hours, and
at DO in 14S hours. SO far as the keep
ing property of milk is concerned, low
temperature is considered Of more
Importance than cleanliness.
In milk kept at 95 the species de-
veloping most rapidly is the undesir-
able one known as Bacillus lactis aero
genes.
AT temperature of 70 this species
develops relatively less rapidly in the
majority of cases than Bacillus lactis
ac1di, which latter is very desirable
In both cream and cheese ripening.
The bacteria in milk kept at SO in
crease slowly, and later consist of
very few Tactic organisms, but of mis-
cellaneous types, including many
forms that render the milk unwhole-
some.
These bacteria continue to grow
slowly day after day, but the milk
keeps sweet because the Tactic organ
1sms do not develop abundantly.
Such milk in the course of time
becomes far more unwholesome than
sour milk, since 1t is filled with organ
isms that tend to produce putrefac-
ton.
Although the temperature Of SO de-
grees is to be emphatically recon-
mended to the dairyman for the pur-
pose of keeping his milk sweet and in
proper condition for market, he must
especially be on his guard against the
feeling that milk which Is several
days old is proper for market, even
though it Is still sweet and has not
curdled.
Quite the reverse is the case. Old
milk is never wholesome, even though
it has been kept at temperature of
so degrees and still remains sweet and
uncurdled.
hlo NSly
some Of our previous ideas concerning
milk, for it has been generally be-
lieved that, SO long as the milk re-
mains sweet, it is in good condition
for use. Quite the contrary in this
case, if it has been kept at a tempera-
| ture of so degrees or in this vicinity.
1t is not unlikely that 1t is this
fact that leads to some Of the cases Of
ice cream poisoning SO common in
summer.
The cream is kept at low tempera-
ture for several days until consid-
cradle quantity has accumulated or a
demand has come for ice cream, and,
when made into ice cream, it is filed
with bacteria in great numbers and
of suspicious character-Prof. H. w.
