Perfumed Butter.

Catering for the tastes OF the
wealthy appears to be no uncertain
way to fortune. On the tables of the
very rich, perfumed butter is the
latest extravaganza, says a writer in
TAT" The dairies where this but,
ter is made are as odorous as a per.
tuners laboratory, or a florists shop.
The butter does not receive its subtle
odor from the admixture of essential
oils. In the first place, 1t is made and
put UP in small pats like those in or
binary use. Each pat is wrapped in a
piece of fine muslin, and placed in a
bed of rose-leaves which have been
specially prepared in an earthen jar.
On top another layer of the delicate,
fresh rose-leaves is placed in the jar,
and Is filed with a solid block of ice,
Then the jar is placed In a refriger-
ator, and allowed to remain there for
ten hours. when the pats are ready for
the customer. Simple as the idea is
1t resulted in a fortune for It's lucky
inventor.

O&AAFA FAN~ @SAWCCu sti@ FNfiSSos
Jack Schiller went up the ST. Louis
river fishing yesterday, as did many
another West Duluthian, but Mr..
Schiller performed an exciting feat
before a large number of spectators.
A large pike struck Mr.. Schuler's
hook, and after something of fight
was landed. Just as the fish was
brought ashore, however. the line
broke, and the fish Topped back into
the water.
Mr.. Schiller dropped his pole and
jumped on the fish, graphing 1t in the
water with his hands and knees. The
fish knew no new wrestling tricks,
and with the death grip that Schiller
had, the denizen of the deep could not
get away and was safely landed at
only the cost of the ducking that Mr..
Schiller got while in operation.
The pike was what a small boy
would call a whopper. 1t measured
271a inches and weighed eight pounds.

A Walters Walk

Some interesting particulars are
given as to the ground covered by a
waiter in dancing attendance upon
the guests in restaurant in Chris
tiania, says the Westminster Gazette.
The waiter had provided himself with
a pedometer before starting his work.
According to his calculations, he took
rather under 100000 steps, covering
some thirty-seven miles, between 8
a. m. and 1890 p. m. Working (and
walking) four days week, he cal
culated that he covered more than
1000 miles in year. Which would
seem to show that Swedish walters
take their work very seriously; un-
less, indeed, the pedometer was fast. 4"

At Avakubi, where the Ituri, as the
river is called at the source on the
Uganda frontier, first becomes the
Aruwimi, the population is largely

how resolutely they have held out

These Arabised tribes, who form a

reached a very high pitch of civilized
development for black race. Their,
villages are large, and consist of lofty
well-built houses in a Moorish style
of architecture, surrounded by planta-

kinds of tubers and other useful crops
are scientifically and carefully Guilt

One would have supposed that the
presence of this interesting people
could not but have been beneficial to
the indigenous population among

unfortunately, the primitive instinct
of the black. even under the veneer
of civilization, has proved too strong.
They use their superior knowledge
and superior abilities principally to

lightened neighbors, who, especially
in the Forest of Ituri, consist of some
of the most primitive folks to be

classes of humanity which have often
been enormously confounded. The
former principally Mangboutis, belong
to far higher order than the genu-

cept by those who penetrate into the

MARKETING PorAro CROPS.

In line with the classic case of the
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadley of Yale University in his book
on Railroad Transportation, is the case
of the Aroostook potato growers
brought by President futile of the
Boston and Maine Railroad before the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com
merce. Nothing could better show
how railroad works for the interest
of the localities which it serves.
A main dependence of the farmers
of the Aroostook region is the potato
crop, aggregating annually eight to
ten million bushels, which find a mar
ket largely in Boston and the adjacent
thickly settled regions of New Eng
land. The competition of cheap water
transportation from Maine to all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these pota-
toes always at very low level.
Potatoes are also considerable out.
put of the truck FARMS of Michigan,
their normal market being obtained in
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago favoring sun
and rains brought a tremendous yield
Of potatoes from the Michigan fields.
At normal rates and prices there
would have been glut of the custom
airy markets and the potatoes would
have rotted on the farms. To help
the potato growers the railroads from
Michigan made unprecedentedly low
rates on potatoes to every readable
market, even carrying them in large
quantities to place so remote as Bos-
ton. The Aroostook growers had to
reduce the price on their potatoes and
even then could not dispose of them
unless the Boston and Maine Railroad
reduced its already low rate, which it
did. BY means of these low rates,
making possible low prices, the potato
crops of both Michigan and Maine
were finally marketed. Everybody
eats potatoes, and that year every
body had all the potatoes he wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous to
the railroads, had they been applied
to the movement of all potatoes at all
times, to, all places, they helped their
patrons to find markets then. The
Boston and Maine Railroad suffered a
decrease in it's revenue from potatoes,
but 1t enabled the Aroostook farmers
to market their crop and thereby to
obtain money which they spent for the
varied supplies which the railroads
brought to them. If the making of
rates were subject to governmental
adjustment such radical and prompt
action could never have been taken,
because it is well established that if
a rate be once reduced by a railroad
company it cannot be restored through
the red tape of governmental proce.
dure. If the Michigan railroads and
the Boston and Maine Railroad had
been subjected to governmental limi-
tation they would have felt obliged to
keep up their rates as do the railroads
of France and England and Germany
under governmental limitation and let
the potatoes rot. E han q

Swallows and house martins build
by sticking together pellets of pre-.

terial is obtained from the drying pud-
dies ON the high roads. If not mixed
with anything else, the tendency of
these pellets would be to crumble
when dry. But the swallow tribe is
supplied with a mucous secretion
which enables it to gum the particles
