respects, Alexander Dumas has not
over drawn in his novels. There Is

There is another connected with it

Tribute to Col. Younghusband

A newspaper correspondent who ac-

Tibet says that the success of that
undertaking was undoubtedly due to
Col. Younghusband who was equal
to every emergency, He sat through
every durbar monument Of patience
and inflexibility, impressive as one of
their own Buddhas. Priests and coun-
cilors found that appeals to his mercy
were hopeless. He, too, had orders
from his king to go to Lassa; if he
faltered his life also was at stake;
decapitation would await him on his
return. That was the impression he
purposely gave them. It curtailed
palaver. How in the name Of all their
Buddhas were they to stop such a

NEW WAY TO MAKE BUTTER.
Sweet Cream Poured Over Pads Which
Absorb All but the Fat.


Absorb All but the Fat.
A committee of the Franklin insti-
tute of Philadelphia has just made
public it's report on the Taylor proc
ess for butter making. 1t is recon-
mended that Mr.. Taylor receive the
John Scott medal and premium in
recognition of the value of his inven-
ton.
In this new process sweet cream is
poured into shallow pans the bottoms
of which are covered with absorbent
pads. These pads are composed or
heavy white plotting paper supported
on Turkish tOweling, or some similar
material and absorb from the cream
nearly all of it's constituents except
the fat The cream fat remains as a
layer on the surface Of the pads and
after several hours standing it may
be rolled off
In this condition the product con-
tains rather too much water and milk
proteids; on this account, and because
of the absence Of salt, it does not keep
well. If, however, the separated but
ter fat be worked and sailed in the
same way as the ordinary churned
product the result is a fine grade of
butter
The process has the advantage of
cheapnesS5, since the pads may be used
over and over again, lasting, it is said,
for six months of daily use The labor
of churning is avoided and, on &C
count of the use of fresh cream in
stead of that which has stood to ripen
for several days, the finished product
keeps better than butter made in the
ordinary way. The process has been
patented in the United States, Canada,
England, France and Germany.
