Even the renovating process, which is sometimes ingenuously referred to IS producing sterlized butter, cannot .e- store rancid butter to its pristine freshness
 When the renovator has assembled his stock, he first melts the butter and settles the curd and brine, skimming off the froth and scum. Then he draws off and discards the curd and the brine. and follows this with a most in- genious method of removing any bad odors.
 He blows air through the melted fat. Having thoroughly aired it, he mixes milk with the fat while it is still melted and rapidly cools and granu- lates it by running 1t into ice cold wa ter. It is then drained and ripened for several hours, salted and worked to re- move any superauous m4l, and finally packed or made into priE.s.

 Genuine butter usually boils with less noise and produces an abundance of foam It is the difference in regard to the foam which is most marked.
 "Ladled" butter is another product obtained by working together and washing at the same time different lots of so-called country butter. The re- suit is colored to a uniform shade and the best grade is sometimes sold for table butter.
 The lower grades go for cooking. But process butter has largely re- placed this ladled variety. Ladled but ter produces 2 rather scanty foam in boiling

HIS PET ELK KILLED HIM.
After the Fit of Rage the Animal Was
 Remorseful.

 Travellers passing along the highway one mile south of Fayette Mo, may soc a lonely tombstone in grove of trees near the road It rests above the solitary grave of a man who met peculiar death many years ago.
 In 1856 II. B. Watts. an early settler, owned beautiful park of twenty acres near Fayette. In this preserve he kept four buffaloes five elk and fifty deer Ons of the elk known as "Jim,' was a pet. The young children often rode on his back and he was supposed to be harmless.
 Mir Watts and his family prepared to attend Methodist camp meeting one September morning. When they came from the house to enter a carriage they heard a disturbance in the park Mir. Watts en- tered the inclosure and found two of ths elk fighting One of the combatants was "Jim." When he tried to separate the in- furiated animals he was attacked by the pet and killed.
 It is said that a few minutes afterward the animal seemed to be seized by re- morse He retired to distant corner of the park where he raised himself on his hind legs, with his fore feet on rail of the fence, uttering meanwhile a sound like the moaning of a human being. The elk remained in this attitude until shot.

 After four two-inch boards had been taken off an oak log at James Webb's s sawmlll. a walnut peg, an inch in di- ameter and a foot long, was found, which reached the heart of the big log, where. 1t is estimated it had been driven, prob ably 75 years ago At the end of the peg was coil of black hair. long and silken.
 old people of the neighborhood are of the opinion that the coil of hair was placed there in accordance with prev alent custom of pioneer times. This cus- tom provided that when a man and wife could not get along or agree, instead of separating. as in these days. the neigh bors cut lock of hair from the head or each. hole was then bored in a thrifty tree and the locks of hair were driven to the heart by a walnut pin After that 1t was believed tho couple would live happily ever after.

"our Mutual F'riend'' is novel in which Dickens appears at his best as a portrayer of quaint and curious char acters, which, after all was his special ty. The machinery of the story-the sev- eral wills left by Old Harmon the drowned heir coming to life again and the gentleman, Wayburn, marrying the poor girl, Lizzie Hexan-is well worn machinery which has done service in novels time out of mind.
 Neither is the story a coherent whole. It is rather composed of several stories which have but slight thread connect ing them with the main story of John and Bella and the Boffins. But in the book Dickens created charae ITS which have become immortal in fiction, and each character is a study by itself, well thought out and we'll worked out.
 Dickens began to collect material for Our Mutual Friend in 1860, but the first numbers of the novel-it was pub lished serially-did not appear until four years later. He wrote the story amid anxiety, want of repose and unhappi- ness caused by the loss of friends; and thls, combined with the exigencies of a serial form of publication in which each month demanded it's toll of copy, explains why "Our Mutual Friend' ex- hibits some of the most glaring faults of Dickens literary workmanship and also proves that no condition, however unfavorable. could dim his genius for character drawing

FUNERAL OF R. 5. ROBERTS.
One OF Brooklyn's Oldest Residents
Buried Yesterday in Greenwood.

The funeral Of Richard 5. Roberts,
one Of Brnoklyn's oldest residents, was
held yesterday, June /, at his home,
300 Clinton avenue. Mr.. Roberts was
born IN Manchester, VT, on Septem'
Der II, 1918. He died last Wednesday,
May -. Ia his eighiy.ninth year,
He was descended from old New
England stock, his paternal ancestors,
who came from Wales, having settled
in Rhode Island about 1896. His grand
father, Christopher Roberts, served
with Ethan Allen at the taking OF II
conderoga aud with Stark at the bat
tie of Bennington. His father, Gen.
Martin Roberts, was long an officer Of
the Vermont militia. and a brother,
Gen. Benjamin S. Roberts, was a
graduate Of West Point. who served
with distinction in both the Mexican
and the civil wars. A nephew, Gen.
Is. X. ROBBERS, is now retired officer
of the United States army.
Mr., Roberts was the last survivor OF
a family of fourteen children. seven
brothers and seven sisters, all of whom
lived TO n good old age and reared
large families. He came to New York
in 1886 aud entered on business life.
More than fifty years ago he bought a
home on Clinton avenue, Brooklyn,
and in that street, though not in the
same house. he lived till his death. He
was the oldest member of the Clinton
Avenue Congregational church.
In 1866 Mr.. Roberts founded the firm
of Roberts, Cushman and Co., import
ers OF hatters' goods. He remained
the head OF the firm until his death.
As an expert in silks and trimmings,
he frequently served as merchant APP
praiser under the old system of Gus
toms appraisement, and was always
foremost in the fight against undervalu
alton of silk goods by importers, fight
which has involved millions of dollars
and has dragged its weary length
through the courts for the last twenty
years.
Always staunch republican, he was
never an Office holder except for few
terms as member of the Brooklyn
Board Of Aldermen, where be did much
to expose the fraud and corruption
which shook that city to its political
foundations in the early eighties. On
his retirement from the board he was
the recipient Of formal vote of thanks
for his untiring efforts in behalf of
honest administration for the benefit
Of the taxpayers Of the city.
