Solving the Problem,

A Hull House settlement worker
once observed that some people
drink because they have too much
money-others because they have
too little. But the Prohibitionist
suggests to the people who have too
little money that instead of buying
one glass of beer for nickel, they
buy two loaves of bread. This might
solve three problems: The labor
problem, the liquor problem. and sa-
loon problem.

BUTTER FROM ONE COW.

A Homemade Creamer That Is Pre-
ferred to the Use of Pans.
A correspondent of the Rural New
Yorker tells her way of making butter
from one COW with much less care
and expense and more satisfactorily
than by the pan system. She says: We
had used a creamer with butter work
er. swing churn and pound printer
with fine herd of Jersey cows, max
ing a fine quality of butter, and when
a change in our business made it nee
essary for US to keep only one COW we
naturally wanted to make as good but
ter with less machinery. After some
consideration we evolved plan that
has been very satisfactory. We bought
two one gallon carrying pals, such as
dairymen use and had a timer insert
a tube one-half inch and fiaring TO
three-Quarters on the outside at the
bottom Of each pail, the tube to be one
inch in length,
These tubes are to be fitted securely
with corlss The covers should have

EARLY European Postal Events.

March l. 1900 20. S., Francis de
Taxis appointed "capitaine ct maistre
de nos postes" by Philip, regent of the
Netherlands, at Client. 1t is a matter
of record that the Taxis posts carried
English mails from Calais to Vienna
and Rome before 1900.
Jan. IS, 1904 90. s., Francis de TaXis
instructed to establish regular posts
between Brussels and the capitals Of
Germany, France and Spain, with pay
at 1900 livres per annum.
In 1907 England had a "magister
postarum," appointed by Henry VII.
Possibly it was Sir Brian Tuke, who
served until 1915.
Nov. u, 1916, Charles V. concluded
a contract with Francis and Baptist de
Taxis requiring them, for 1000 gold
ducats, to maintain posts between
Brussels, the capitals of Germany,
France and Spain and Naples. Every
postofice was to have two horses. The
Brussels-Paris route was to be covered
in thirty-six hours, Brussels-Burgos in
seven days and Brusels-Naples in
fourteen DAYS.

one had entered his room in the night
from the open veranda window and
had robbed lkm. 1t took him fifteen
minutes to explain what he had been
robbed of, and then only after he had
resorted to pencil and paper. He raved
and gesticulated and jabbered strange
words He was sure there could be nc
mistake as to his having been robbed.
He wanted the sheriff and all his con
stables put Oh the trail at once. and he
ordered mush and milk for breakfast
ana ate it without appetite. After
breakfast he wrote two or three notes
to the widow. but tore them all up and
finally set out for her house. People
who had seen him eveEy day for
weeks did not know him.
Mr.. Simpson and the widow were to
start for the circus ut II O'Clock in the
forenoon At that hour he drove up to
her house and descended. She was not
quite ready and asked him to wait a
few minutes. He smiled and bowed
and answered in the ChOctaw dialect.
why, Mir. Simpson, what on earth
ails you?" she asked as she looked him
over.
Smiles and bows and more Choctaw.
"You-yOur cheeks have all fallen in
you humble your words; you don't look

the medium of paper and pencil.

"Did / ever. And you expect to go

so evident was her determination that
Mr.. Simpson abandoned further effort
to persuade her and drove OF.
At that juncture Abner Hope drove
up. A minute after hitching his horse
he was on the veranda beside the

They drove away together. and when
they had made a distance Of two miles
and were crossing a swamp Abner took
something from his coat pocket and
gave the packet a fling among the grass
and water.
'What is itY' asked the widow.
"Shall we be married Thanksgiving

tion by hitting at a horse fly with the
lash.

suggested kindly. "You'd make good

started in. Want to try it againT"
Il think I'd rather be an acrobat"
she almost whispered, trying to choke
back the sobs Acrobats were not left
dangling over a horse, and they had a
soft mat to fail upon.
The clown led the horse from the
ring. and two men unrolled a felt pad
upon the sawdust. Even without The
blue tights she recognized them as the
acrobats. and she watched them curl
ously as they fastened a rope about the
belt
'Now, when we say 'Nowg cautioned
one. you throw yourself forward just
as though you were going to dive into
water"
She braced herself for the command.
1t seemed ages in coming, but at last
she heard the cry ana gave a jump
forward. She felt the rope around her
waist tighten; she realized that she was
spinning in the air, and then she land
ed on hands and knees on the pad. She
had only turned twice but it seemed
as if she had been revolving in space
for an hour.
For a moment she lay there, sobbing'
until the kindly faced woman took her
to the dressing tent.

isn't it?' she asked kindly. I'VE all

Wells seemed disappointed, but not
surprised, when he learned that she
had abandoned a circus career, but he
was very nice about it, and she crept
out Of the tent humiliated and asham-

Three months later Jackson Peters
was saying goodby to Mrs. Burrows
before taking his bride to her new
home.

said the lady, "and if you want to hold

AhdnI,n WAY.

Abdul Hamid insists upon it that eV-
cry ruler or other political parsonage
should die natural death. Other
manners of death are not recognized"
officially in Turkey. When King Hum
bert was assassinated at MOnza the
Turkish newspapers announced this
sad event in the following form: "King
Humbert left the hall amid the frantic
cheers of the people. The king, much
affected, bowed several times and to
all appearance vas Immediately dead" T"
When the late shah Of Persia was as
sassinated the Turkish papers said;
'Tn the afternoon the shah drove to his
summer palace and there complained
OF illness. His corpse was sent to Te-
heran" One paper, however, exceeded
all others in simplifying" the piece Of
news by publishing this absurdity:
"The shah felt little i'll, but finally
his corpse returned to the palace"
This phrase was too much even for the
Turks, who have retained it to this
day as one Of their proverbs.-Dundee

ing. Well water at 40 degrees is sufi-
cient to raise the cream in twelve

hours. Care must be taken when draw

a full can is considerable. Draw on

HOW Large New zealand Is.

New Zealand is popularity supposed
to be a group of comparatively unim-
portant islands lying close off the coast
of Australia and subject to what is
vaguely termed 1.-The Australian govern
ment." As a matter Of fact, it is about
equal in area to the British islands, is
distant some 1900 miles from the
neighboring continent, is an independ-
ent. self governing colony and pos
sesses more beautiful and varied seen
cry than any other single country OF
the world except the United States.
This colony consists Of two large Is
lands and a third small one, called
Stewart island, to the south. The two
large islands are properly called the
North island and the Middle island,
but in ordinary language the Middle
island is termed the South island. As
the South island is nearer to the ant
arctic circle than the North island, 1t
has. especially in its southernmost part
a cold climate. The North island has
warm enough climate to cause the ole
ander and camellia to bloom luxurious
ly. and in its nOrthernmost part the
orange grows well.

Hirh Price, For Cheese.

To me one of the most gratifying fea-
lures of the dairy business is the eX-
ceedingly high price of cheese. 1t is
usually very unfortunate for any COM
modify to reach a point where the cost
becomes prohibitive In this case it
will, of course, have an unfavorable
influence. but it will be insignificant
compared to the fact that we are be-
ginning to know the value of good full
cream cheese and that at usual prevail
ing prices it is a cheap food. Almost
ANYTHING in a box will bring u cents,
and some of the finest grades are not
on the market at any price. The cheese
making sections have not enlarged and
developed as rapidly as the butter dis
tricts largely on account of the supe-
rior value of skim milk over whey.
Sweet milk from the separator, an un-
derstanding how to balance it up with
the grains and the fact that upon it
young animals make the most satisfac-
tory and profitable growth have aided
in swelling the butter Output-H. e.

A Mntter of Pronuncintion.


Is it too late to make stand against
the mispronunciation Of the word
frieze as applied to Irish tweed? On
the other side of st. Georges channel
they know better than to confuse their
wall decoration with their dress ma
terial and pronounce the one freeze"
and the other 'frise" So did we in
old England Originally meaning the
curling nap on cloth-frOm the French
"friser," to curl; Welsh, ''ffris," nap
of cloth-frize, as it was then spelled
and pronounced, came to mean cloth
that had a nap on one side and is now
applied to any rough kind Of home
spun. We can be sure of the old pro-
nunciation from the motto worn by
Brandon, duke of Suffolk, when, on his
marriage with Henry Wills sister,
he appeared at a tournament on a
horse draped half in ''frleze" and half
in cloth Of gold:
Cloth of gold, do not thou despise,
Though thou be matched with cloth OF
frize:
Cloth of frize, be not thou too bold,
Though thou be matched with cloth OF
gold.

Ancient Artists.

A German review furnished recently
some particulars about that question.
Polygnote Of Thasos, who lived about
45O B. c., refused, 1t is true, any pay

he was sufficiently rewarded with the
title of citizen of Athens, which had
been conferred on him. But such dis
interestedness was seldom initiated.

Archelaus l., king of Macedonia. He

Feeding the Fnn pigs.

From now on mix the feed for the
young pigs one feed ahead, and you
may, with good results, add a half
spoonful Of oilmeal for each pig and
increase as they get larger. Put a lit
tie shelled corn in the feed and let 1t
soak from one feed to another Also
increase this as time goes on. If they
can follow around after cattle that are
fed corn it will be sufficient corn for
them and will give them their needed
exercise. The cattle keep the snow
tramped down, and the pigs will keep
pretty busy. You should always aim
to have a southern exposure protected
on the windward side by high, tight
board fence and on >the north by
building, where the suns rays viii be
reflected so it will thaw on a sunshiny
day while 1t freezes in more unprotect-
ed places.-Orange Judd Farmer.

In San Francvco---The

forty-hve rounds between Tommy
Murphy of New York and Abe Attell,
the Italian featherweight champion, is
a Queensberry proposition that would
be quite apt to attract the attention of
nearly everybody interested in the
game. Such Il bout is not so remote as
many might think.
Murphy is more than Willing. and,
what is more to the point, Mis- army of
friends who have watchedN the steady
progress of the boxers are quite willing
to support him with Il large size side
bet. For example, it is Il certainty
that Murphy could get a heavier side
bet than almost any other boxer in
the country. His friends would go
to the extent of $4,000 if their favor
tie were pitted in n contest to Il finish
or a sufficient number of rounds to in
SURE ii decisive result.
1t follows as a matter of course that
the only place where the two men
could meet on such a basis is the Col
ma Athletic club in California, and if
a reasonable purse could be secured
from Promoter COffroth, Murphy would
produce a side bet of sufficient proper
tons to repay Attell for the trouble
provided he won the bout.

accept such a proposition and admitted
that the side bet idea would be salts
