Butter And Cheese.

Within the last few years the custom of
coating the cheese with an impervious
layer has been suggested, with the object
MANLY of preventing the development of
mold For this purpose paraffin has been
found to be the most suitable agent. The
application of such layer to the cheese
not only prevents the growth of mold
spores by excluding the air, but materially
retards the rate at which the cheese loses
it moisture. Parafined cheese, therefore,
dries out much more slowly than the un-
treated product, and the application of
this method is of particular service in the
handling of the smaller types of cheeses,
which have relatively larger superficial
area exposed to the air. BY covering the
cheese with parafin the total loss of mois-
ture can be reduced several pounds per
hundred In comparative tests cheeses
covered with paraflin were entirely clear,
while the others were more or less heavily
coated with mold.
THE BEST KEEPING BUTTER.
The conclusion from recent experiments
in the storage of butter by the dairy divi-
sion of the national department of agricul-
ture is that light sailing and low tempera-
lures and the use of cream received at the
creamery in sweet condition give much
the best results for storage butter. Other
points of interest are that butter in full cans
and tubs at the lower temperatures scored
about the same. At the higher tempera-
lures there was slight difference in favor
of cans. Butter in full cans kept better
than that in cans only partially full. On
the whole butter held at the lowest temper
ature kept best, both when in storage and
after removal from storage. Butter made
from cream received sweet kept well while
stored at the lower temperatures and also
after removal from storage, giving results
wholly satisfactory. Butter made from
cream received sour also kept well at the
lower temperatures, but deteriorated rapid
ly after removal from storage, giving, on
the whole, results which were very unsat-
isfactory.
BUTTER FROM SWEET CREAM.
butter OF peCter quallty, though ho'
quite so much in quantity, was produced
from sweet cream than from ripened cream
in some recent Ontario tests.
OvERCHURNING.
When butter has gathered stop churning
Butter is frequently spoiled by churning toe
long. Drain off the buttermilk and fill the
churn half full of cold water, revolve churu
about four or five times or work with dashel
in proportion, then remove the water and
salt, an ounce to the pound.

Tall, Fair Girl in Robber Band.

Including as one of its active members
a young woman who is described as tall,
fair and of striking appearance, robber
band broke into the station of the Long
Island railroad at Farmingdale, N. Y,
blew open the safe, getting booty of about
$4O0 in cash and large quantity of rail
road tickets, and escaped in a wagon
through the streets of the town amid a fusi-
lade of bullets.
Residents of the town had noticed two
strange men and woman hanging about
the station as if waiting for train. Lit
tie attention was paid to their actions at
time, but, in view of the robbery LATER
their presence in the neighborhood of the
station is now regarded as suspicious, and
it is believed they were there for the pur-
pose of getting the lay of the land
The robbers had horse and wagon
concealed somewhere near the scene of the
robbery, and after they had forced their
way into the station and blown the safe
open with heavy charge of dynamite they
bolted for the vehicle and, jumping in, put
Oft through the deserted streets at top
speed. The blowing open of the big iron
box shook the houses in the vicinity and
made so great noise that many persons
were awaked from a sound sleep and rushed
in alarm to the windows to learn the cause
of the trouble
Several men living near by saw the ma
rauders rushing through the darkness, and,
getting the revolvers, opened a lively fire
in their direction just as they gained the
wagon, and, lashing the horses, began
their wild fight for safely.
The band is supposed to be the same
one that within the last few months has
broken into stations of the Long Island
railroad at Mineola, Roslyn, Locust Val.
ley and Great Neck, and by following sim
liar tactics has secured in most instances
loot valued at several hundred dollars.

Assembled by Accident.

Carried aloft 1900 feet through the
stupidity of several men handling hot air
balloon, Miss Margaret Bailey, of Middle
town, N. Y, descended in safety by a
parachute. She cast off from the trapeze
on which she sat just when the balloon
showed signs of collapsing and touched the
ground two and half miles from the spot
whence the balloon had ascended. She
was found crying Historically. She is now
in the home of her parents in highly ner-
vous state.
Though she is twenty, it was the first
time she had seen balloon. She went
out to pleasure resort near the city in
the afternoon with half dozen girl friends
to view the balloon ascension and parachute
drop of Charles Kelly, professional aeronaut.
There we're only few hundred persons in
the park, and Miss Baily and her friends
were in the first row of the small crowd
that listened to Kelly s short lecture on the
details of his feat.
Twitted by friends on timidity, Miss
Baily asked Kelly if she might sit on the
trapeze. He consented, and in few mo-
ments the girl was seated on the trapeze,
with the balloon tugging at the restraining
rope. Miss Bailey seemed to enjoy her
position, and suddenly she cried, "Let 60 !"
Instantly the men ''lying back on the
rope released their hold. Realizing their
error, they leaped frantically but vainly to
catch the line again.
As the balloon rose straight up Kelly
shouted to the girl to use the parachute
"Wait and pull the cord,' he cried in dis,
may, while the onlookers stood silent in
horror Miss Bailey did not utter sound.
She was seen to clasp both hands on the
thin cord supporting one end of the trapeze,
The wind bore the balloon toward the
south The atmosphere was clear, and
the slightest movement of the girl could bt
seen distinctly. Kelly estimated that the
balloon went up fully 5000 feet Wher
it stopped ascending and seemed to be sus
pended Kelly was almost insane with de
spair.
He jumped up and down in his excite
ment and shouted for the girl to drop will
the parachute lest she meet death in tn
collapse of the balloon. The warning dic
not reach the girl, but she acted on he
initiative. When brought to her hom
she said she had tried to think what wa
best to do and that when she looked up an,
saw the balloon shrinking she decided t.
drop with the parachute.
She came down like stone for about
hundred feet, with her skirts blown out lik
an umbrella. Then the parachute opened
and she foated downward slowly. Whe
it appeared she would descend in safet
the crowd in the park cheered enthusiastic
cally.
She landed in cornfeld, and the frs
to reach her was farmer. She was take
home in carriage Her mother was a
the door. Mrs. Bailey had not heard @
the affair, and she was bewildered whe
her daughter flung her arms around he
neck and sobbed, 81 never want to see
balloon again, mother"

Won't Wed Till She can Vote.

Miss Ellington, the English suffragist
who is suffering Imprisonment for creating
| a disturbance in front of the house of Home
Secretary Asquith, is engaged to be mar
ried, but she refuses to be led to the ALTA
until her war cry of ''Votes for women
passes into law, so that the date of the
day is doubtful.
People ignorant of her heroic self sac
riGce call her an amazon whose sole objec
is to obtain notoriety," says Mrs. Rowe,
a prime mover in the cause.
"They even go so far as to say she is
endeavoring to bring herself before the
public notice in order to obtain an offer OF
marriage.
"This is cruel wicked lie. She has
been engaged for several years, and could
be married tomorrow if she liked, but until
universal suffrage becomes past history she
intends to devote all her time to the cause. ="
Miss Ellington, chief of the militant
woman Fighters, who raised disturbance
in the house of commons gallery, led pro-
cession of suffragists to the house of Home
Secretary Asquith, in front of which they
''booed' and hissed until the police arrived.
They refused to desist when ordered to do
so, and the police attempted to arrest Miss
Ellington. The other women formed a
Gordon around her. When the police
broke through the Gordon one of the officers
put his hand on Miss Ellington shoulder.
She hit him in the face. The ''bobby'
then grabbed her arms and she kicked him
in the shins until fellow officer rescued
him by seizing Miss Ellington by the throat.
She was then arrested and ''run in. :" In
curt she was given sentence of ESQ or
sixty days. She chose the jail
In the midst of the general Affections

The post brought letters expressing in
dignation at the sentence passed on Miss
Ellington, and offering to pay her fine.
All these offers Miss Ellington refused
She is determined to be a martyr.
Nothing will induce her to relent, -
says Mrs. Rowe, ''but the question of her
imprisonment will be brought before the
house of commons.
We can produce scores of witnesses to
prove that Miss Ellington was herself struck
before ever she struck the policeman.
These people would have appeared as wit
nesSes at the hearing but for mistake by
which they went to Marlborough street in
stead of Marylebone." "
A true touch of feminity was shown by
Mrs. Rowe when asked if Miss Ellington $
hair would be cut on her imprisonment.

would be wicked thing to do. She has
such beautiful hair p
Over the treatment of the sufagettes by
the press and public at large Mrs. Rowe

To Prevent Wrecks.

The recent English railway wreck really
emphasizes the fact that disasters of that
sort are uncommon not only in Great Bri-
tain, but on the Continent as WELL
What can be done asks railway engi-
neer, writing to the Iron Trail, to avert
these horrors in this country and to make
travel as safe here as it is in other countries
where fast time is made?
Some say we must have better men.
No better men ever handle engines or
trains than we have in America The
trouble is, the best men are often dis
charged for some trivial matter and newer,
younger, less experienced men take the
places of these elder ones, and the chain
is weakened in just so many more places.
Some say give us better equipment.
The American engines and cars lead the
world; there are none better.
Others say the train order system is
wrong-that it is very weak
Under the present method of operating
singl track roads it is hard to get better
system. 1t has its faults, to be sure, but
the various railroad clubs and train rules
committees are ever endeavoring to make
the system more perfect.
Some say, give the men shorter hours
on the road
Those who speak thus strike close to the
mark-fOr many, many times do these
wrecks occur because the overworked brain
of the man on the road or in the Office
responds no longer clearly and safely.
There are those who say, Give us safe
and sure interlocking system of signals
give us block system.
This is another vital question. There
are these facts, though, in connection with
this question which might help one in
studying the needs of block system:
If the great railroad companies would
stop for one year the great expenditures
on Strengthening tracks and lowering
grades, with a view toward greater earn
ing capacity of freight trains, and for
year put the amount they would have ex-
pended on roadways into installing a safe
block system, great gain toward safety
would have been made. The whole cry
is, "greater dividends not safety to the
travelling public. Each year millions go
into "flls and cuts," into new bridges,
into new stations, but never cent into
block systems.
1t is true though that some roads are do
ing things along this line. They will in
time be the popular routes of travel.
There are two other very important
things needed in connection with safe trav-
cling, whether the block system is installed
or not, and they are:
First, cut down the monster tonnage
trains so they will be safe to handle.
Secondly, by all means cut down the
hours of those who have to handle those
heavy trains, so they will have less time
on the road and more in which to rest
1t is one thing to tell man he should not
go out if he is sure he has not had rest
enough, but if he refuses and is laid off
for time with his wages suspended well,
that IS, another thing. A second offense
would mean dismissal Then when he
would apply for a position on some other
road he would be turned down for insub-
ordination for having refused to go out
when he was positive in his own mind that
he was in no condition to accept the re-
sponsibilities of another trip without more

Reasonably Cool Storage.

In some localities it would not be found
practicable to harvest ice, but some cold
storage place should be provided. Water
from spring can be conducted to the dairy
house and cement tanks arranged with
overflow, SO that reasonably cold storage
can be provided for dairy products. In
some of the large dairies machinery is in
stalled for artificial cooling.
