Butter is a hydro carbon, and all
excuses of it are stored up as fat in
the body. 1t gives energy and power
to work to those who eat heartily of
it. For any one afflicted with consump-
ton butter cookery, if plenty of fat can
be digested is one of the best ways of
curing the disease should it be in its
early stages or of keeping it at bay
If advanced. 1t is not economy to
spare the butter at table even to the
healthy people. Butter is not a simple
fat composed merely Of one sort. 1t is
a mixture of no less than seven differ
ent sorts of fats, and no more complex
oil can be taken than this. For dys-
peptic and liverish people good bread
and butter, along with fruit, should in
yariably take the place of pie, pastry
and biscuits. Pastry for such people
is only another name for poison, and
biscuits are as often as not baked with
lard

Foolish Exporters.

In 1880 the United States exported
100000 pounds of butter and 12,00O,-
600 pounds of cheese, says a consular
report. Twenty-Five years later, in the
calendar year 1905, this country ex-
ported 100000 pounds of butter and
100000 pounds of cheese. This ire
mendous decline Notwithstanding the
increased demand abroad, was due to
the methods followed by some Ameri-
can exporters, who shipped adulterated
butter, sold oleomargarine fer butter,
and used similar methods in the ex-
portation Of cheese.

Berry Boxes.

A great many growers of small fruits
make a practice of shipping their prod
ucts in boxes with false bottoms. The
bottoms are set up about half an inch
for the purpose of deceiying the Gus
toners and making them believe that
they are getting a box full of berries.
1t is disappointing to get fooled like
this, and it has tendency to reduce
the amount of fruit used. Another dis
agreeable practice is putting the best
of everything on top. These are dis
honest tricks and customers resent such
treatment.

A man must use fertilizers intelli-
gently or he will throw away great
deal of money upon them. 1t is absurd
for farmer to purchase a fertilizer

not expend a dollar in fertilizers until
he knows what kind he needs If his
land is rich in a certain element he

ERE is a set of questions that should
put everybody upon inquiry, so deeply
do they go to the root of matrimonial
difficulties. A correspondent asks:
u. Is money as important as senti-
ment in making a happy marriage?
~. Is all money and no love better
than all love and no money?
"a married woman says yes to the
second question, says that the fnan-
cial end is necessary to be successful
that a woman must respect her hus-
band to love him, and that she can
not respect him when he is not get

thought that-tne steamer woulu go 10
pieces before their eyes.
"Nothing," was the answer. "Pray
for them. They are in the hands of
God"
In grewsome distinctness they watch
ed the vessels approach The siren
ceased. Had those on board abandon
ed hope? Pitching and rolling In a
manner that suggested the possibility
Of laundering in deep water she came
on with fatal directness. Suddenly a
dreadful thought came to Brands
mind. The lighthouse stood on the
casterly and most elevated portion of
by west and north-northwest. At low
water some two acres of jagged rocks
are exposed On all sides the sound
ings fell to sixteen and eighteen faith
oms. What il this helpless leviathan
Of 10000 tons or more dead weight
were to strike the pillar? This was
quite possible with the tide at its pres
ent level. 1t all depended whether her
bows were raised or lowered at the mo-
ment of impact. In the one case she
would smash away many feet of rock
and perhaps damage the foundations
of the lighthouse; in the other, her
sharp prov would stab into the vitals
of the granite and the huge column
might collapse in common ruin with its
colossal assailant.
One of the girls, he never remember
ed which of them, spoke to him. He
could not answer. For Il second time
that night he knew what fear meant He
watched the onward plunging of the
vessel with stupefied eyes. He saw, as
in dream, that her officers and crew
were still making desperate efforts to
weather the reef. But, with the utter
have swung her to port, she would not
bulge yard to starboard, for now
both wind and waves assailed her most
vehemently on the starboard quarter.
Then when she was little more than
twice her own length distant he was
certain that dim form ON the bridge
signaled to the chart house. With a
mlrdCulOuS uellneSS, OH tue assumption
that her wheel was put hard over, she
fell away from the racing seas. Her
red light disappeared, her green light
curved into full view. The next wave
lifted her bodily, with a mad Joy that
it should be able to use her to batter
Its enemy, the rock.
Then she struck, with sickening
crash that was plainly audible above
the roar of the reef. This was not
enough. Another rush of foaming wa
ter enveloped her and smashed her
again on an inner ledge. There she
lodged, falling inertly over to star
board.
And Brand found his voice once
more, for, as sure as this terrible night
would have its end so surely had the
gallant captain Of the steamer refused
to imperil the lighthouse when all hope
Of saving his ship had vanished.
The tears were in Brands eyes. His
arms encircled the two girls.
There goes a fine ship commanded
by brave man, he cried.
And that was the beginning Of the
captains requiem
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1906-11-23

N JUST as the spin of q coin may
mean loss or gain in some
trumpery dispute or game of
W the hour, in like manner ap-
parently are the graver issues of life
or death determined at times. 1t is not
so, we know. Behind the triviality on
which men fasten with amazement as
the governing factor In events there
lies an inscrutable purpose. Yet, to
those watching the destruction of the
splendid vessel, there was little evil
dence Of other than blind fury in the
fashion Of her undoing.
The hoarse words had scarce left
Brands lips before a third wave, high
er and more truculent than its Drede-
.cessors, sprang right over the lost ship
and smothered her in an avalanche of
water. No doubt this monster swept
away some of the officers and crew. 1t
was impossible to be certain of aught
save the one thing-that the steamer
would surely break up before their
eyes. The wind, now blowing in fierce
gusts; the sea, rising each minute; the
clouds Of spray chasing each other in
eerie fights through space; the grind
ing, incessant, utterly overwhelming
noise of the reef, made all sights and
sounds indefinite, nebulous, almost fan
tastic.
But when the giant billow receded,
leaving the ship like a dark rock in tho
midst of innumerable cascades, the ca
tastrophe took place which Brand
would have forescen were his thoughts
less tumultuous. With the support of
the sea withdrawn from half its length
the huge hull must either slip back
into deep wafer or break in two. The
slender steel shell OF an ocean liner is
not constructed to resist the law of
gravity acting on full 5000 tons. SO
the solid looking colossus cracked like
carrot, and the after part fell back
into the watery chasm, there to be
swallowed instantly amid a turmoil
which happily drowned the despairing
shrieks Of, far more than half Of those
on board
Constance and Enid screamed bitter
ly in their woe, but again they were
saved from utter collapse by the ex-
igencies of the moment. Brand, who
expected to see the remainder Of the
