AN OLD NEWSPAPER.

The Norwich Bulletin celebrates its
lOsth birthday by moving into a new
building.
The paper first appeared as the
Chelsea Courier four column folio,
printed in antique type with long esses,
etc.
The advertisements are principally
brief announcements Of imported rumi
sugar, salt and more rum.
Among public men noticed in its
columns were one G. Washington, Gov.
ernor Jay, Of New York, and other
persons now inscribed in history.
The locus of the paper was changed
to Norwich and the Courier gave place
to the name of Bulletin.
In 1855 the paper came out as a
daily. That is the story of news
paper that is a history of the country
itself.
The true history Of any country or
community is written in the pages of
its newspapers.

The tendency to relapse into barbar-
Ism is well illustrated in the island of
Hayti. Before the government of the
island was turned over to the native
blacks and during the time when the
French directed affairs there, a fine
road, wide enough to permit the driv-
ing of a four-in-hand over it, was built
across the island from the north to
the south end, but at present there is
not a trace of the thoroughfare; in fact,
1t has been so overgrown with veg
citation that even the line of location
cannot be found. The march of civ
ilization marked by the improvement
the road afforded was halted just as
soon as the natives were given back the
control of the islands affairs.-N. Y,

CANADIAN GIRLS WISDOM.
Miss Bella Miller Tells What the Six.
teen Ounces of a Pound of But
ter Should Contain.

At school We learned that 16 ounces
make a pound, and in closing my adj
dress l will just mention the IL ounces
b a a pound OF finished butter should
contain:
l.. One ounce of wisdom. Let us show
wisdom in selecting and demanding
the best.
2. One ounce of %precaution. We will
take the %precaution to properly pre-
pare our utensils, and leave them in
good condition when we are through
with them.
.. n ounce of concentration. Have
your mind on your work and you will
make no mistakes.
4. One ounce of cleanliness. This is
the da:ryman's motto, and needs to be
exercised ia the whole process of but
ter-making.
b. One ounce of determination. This
Will help US to overcome all difficulties.
.. One ounce of prevention. The sci
ence OF buttermaking is made up al
most entirely of preventive measures.
Z. One ounce of care. Care is needed
at every stage.
s. One ounce of discrimination. This
is needed to distinguish f1avors.
1t is also needed in choosing salt,
parchment paper, etc.
y. n ounce of forethought. What
are the requirements of the market for
which this butter is being made? We
will consider this, and develop flavor,
acd salt and color to suit our CUSTOM
erS.
III. One ounce of accuracy. By max
ing use OF the scales we will know how
much butter there will be a churn-
ing, and thus gauge the coloring and
salt, SO that we may have uniformity.
ii. One ounce of judgment. We need
to have good judgment in choosing the
temperature at which to churn, and for
making conditions favorable for churn-
ing at a low temperature.
IL. One ounce of common sense. II
we use this, w will stop churning
when the butter is in granular form.
IL. One ounce of patience. We must
have patience in using the thermom-
eter, in draining the wash water off the
butter, and in giving the salt time to
dissolve.
IA. One ounce of experience. This
will help us III knowing when the but
ter is worked enough, and not over
worked and greasy.
10. one ounce of neatness. This ap-
plies to person and to product, and es-
pecially to the printing and wrapping
of the butter.
16. This is the ounce of honor. We
Will do our best, use what is best, and
give such weight that the butter will
be full 16 ounces when it reaches the
customer. The extra ounce will BE-
that OF good humor, which goes with
all Il work.-From a Talk at Guelph

one of a great many where Dodd's Kid
ney Pills have proven themselves to be
the very best spring medicine. They
are unsurpassed as a tonic and are thi
only medicine used in thousands of fam

FUN ON A STREET CAR.
And This Nonsense Was Heard In
the Sedate and Sensible City
of Philadelphia.

On q Walnut street car the other day

y%ourn!@ They're all right"
There was a slight pause, as though
neither knew what to say net. Suddenly
one had an inspiration. She giggled a
minute and then said: Say, my husband
asked me the other day what your first
name was, and to save my soul | couldn't
tell him. What is it,"
Then it was the other woman's turn to
giggle. Why, it's Millicent.' she said.
."Milliconty How do you spell it?" ooh,
it's an easy name. M-il-lic-e-n-t." "Well
you can't never say you amt got a cent

Wide Tires Aid 70 Roads

In France every freighting and mar
ket cart, instead of cutting deep ruts
In the highways, improves it. Many of
the tires are ten inches wide. In the
four-wheeled vehicles in that country
the rear axle is about one foot longer
than the forward axle, and as a result
the rear wheels run in a line consider
ably outside that produced by the front
wheels. After a few loaded wagons have
passed over the road it looks as if a
steam roller had been at work on it.
A national law in Germany provides that
wagons heavily loaded must have tires
not less than four inches wide. In Aus
tria the minimum for similar vehicles
is six and a half inches; in Switzerland.
six inches. If the law-making bodies CT
our states would pass laws of this char
acter, instead of expanding money for
new road machinery and building roads,
the people might be just as well satisfied
with the results. "

nounce that this famous institution has
now opened a branch office at 1869 Olive
Street, St, Louis. Mo. The st. Louis
office will be fully equipped to admin
lister the wonderfully successful Thornton
q Minor system of treatment, and one of
the members of the firm, with two assist
ants, will be stationed at st. Louis per-
manently from this time forth. Those who
have not Investigated theThornton & Minor
system of treatment should write at once
for their 232-page illustrated treatise on
Diseases of the Rectum, which is mailed
free and postpaid to all afflicted. They also
mail a 10S-page book for Ladies, and as
these books contain the names of thousands
of men and women prominent throughout
this section of the country who have been
cured by Drs. Thornton & Minor, it would
certainly pay anyone suffering to get these
books and thoroughly investigate by writ
ing to some of the many people who have
been cured in years past. They positively
accept no money until the patient is salts

How to Catch a Sheen.

A sheep should never be caught by its
wool. This method not only causes the
animal unnecessary pain, but in the case
of fat sheep that are to be killed, it does
much harm to the joint Of mutton that
lies underneath where the wool was
pulled. It causes a dark bruise just in
the same manner as u bodies become
discoloreds from being bruised. The
proper way to catch a sheep is to take IL
either by the hind leg, or just above the
gambrel Joint or by putting the hand un-
derneath. its jaw or neck. In using a
crook It is important that the sheep are
not caught below the gambrel joint, as
injury to the lee is liable to result from
this.

THE general appearance of a badly
infested limb can be compared to one
sprinkled with ashes, mixed with fine
particles of sulphur and SCOT. Such is
the appearance found during winter.
The scale is circular-one thirty-second
to o~ne-sixteenth of an inch in diameter.
The body of the female is dark gray,
convex, rising in the form of a nipple
with a slight i%ndentation of a yellowish
color in the center. The male is a little
more elongated, with the nipple at one
end. On trees not badly infested the in

Destruction Of Cut Worms.

Some insects that cannot be reached
by direct applications to their food
plants may be reached indirectly. Cut
worms, for instance, are unusually fond
ct bran, preferring it to their normal
green food. Mix up thoroughly one
pound of paris green or white arsenic
with SO pounds of bran; moisten with
sugar water until it forms a mush that
can be ladled out without dripping. A
spoonful to a hill will protect any kind
of plants growing in or on it, and will
clear a field Of the worms in 4S hours.
The sugar water is not absolutely neces-
sary, but serves to hold the bran TO-
sether and to keep 1t attractive for a
longer tine. Chickens should be kept
out of fields where this mixture is used
and this warning applies to other stock
as well.-Prairie Farmer.

Mr.. Henry Lyon, a Scotch electrical
engineer, has completed an electrical
refrigerator. The current is used inside
the machine for driving off the am
monia, and owing to the fact that there
are no moving parts, and that no skilled
labor is required for attendance, the
new machine, it is said, can be put on
the market at a moderate price, and it
is calculated that it will prove a cheaper
method of cooling than the indirect
method of cooling by ice. Machines are

of 100 pounds of ice per day.-N. Y.
