The minister walked ont into the
street and looked up. The coat of
arms. which wax Eve or six feet
across. was noticeable by its absence
1t had taken wings and flown away.
Exactly what the minister said has
not been chronicled.
ut so happened that Beresford had
given the carriage driver an extra fare
for his trouble. Some one discovered
this and quickly reported it TO the min
lister. who at once made a demand
upon the captain Of the frigate for it's
return. The captain. who was inno-
cent. denied that the thing was aboard
ship. The minister sent his evidence
to the captain. reIterating his demand
and demanding an apology for the in,
suit.
The captain now began an investI-
CATION. and the culprits owned IN aud
took the coat Of arms on deck. when
1t was promptly sent ashore and re-
turned TO the Office Of the minister.

The captain ordered the youug men to
go ashore, take the coat of arms 10 the
consulate, replace 1t as they found Ii
and apologize 10 the minister.
1T was doubtless bitter pill. and
the young midshipmen had to stand
the badinage OF their comrades. The
two went ashore. ready to comply,
and took the coat Of arms to the con-
sulate. The American minister had
not put himself out to keep the mat
ter quiet. and as fact the public was
well posted. and the consulate was
surrounded by a crowd OF Americans.
natives and others, all laughing at the
predicament OF the young midship-
men.
The minister had a strong sense OF
humor and determined to get all there
was in ii. He preserved his dignity as
best be could as he received the young
men and listened TO their apologies.
The midshipmen then took the coat OF
arms from the hack and amid the
cheers Of the crowd climbed 70 the
front Of the building and placed 1t in
position. then hurried down. followed
by laughter and cheers. &c. F.. Holder

THE MISSING COAT OF ARMS.

IT Belonged to the American Consulate
In Honolulu and Was Carried OFF BY
Party Of English Middiss-The Res
titution and Apology.
Speaking Of old times on the coast, y
said an Oregonian reminds me of
some of the sterling characters we
had there. One was Governor Nc
Bride of Oregon. His first official du-
ties were at Honolulu. where he was
United States minister. King Kane
hameha was the ruler at the time. The
minister was heroic type of man.
the father of fourteen children. and a
number of his sons became distin-
guished men in various professions
He was q true American, cast in an
ultra patriotic mold, and many stories
are told among the oldtimers of his
patriotism and bravery.
When Mcbride reached Honolulu
he found there were no outward in
sigma designating the American con-
sulate or minister's office, so he had a
large American coat OF arms cut out
OF wood. gilded and decorated appro-
priately. and this was hung over the
office door that all the world might see
IT. 1t was naturally conspicuous OBJ
ject and of much interest to the pub
lie.
zone day an English man-of-war
came into port The sailors and mid
shipmen were given liberty. and. as
often happens. some Of them had hi
larious times. Among the then mid
shipmen were Lord Gordon and Lord
Beresford, who, like all midshipmen In
from a long cruise. were out for a
jolly time. Walking down the street.
they did not fail to notice that Yankee
coat Of arms. and as Beresford was
collecting bFic-a-brac and curiosities IL
occurred to him and Gordon that this
would be q flne addition TO their col
lection, trophy worth having. So
they selected a time when the minis

DRINK FOR FOWLS.

The neglect in the care of fowls is
in supplying them with water. More
fowls die from this cause than from
any other, and even if they live, the
fowls lose flesh and become unthrifty.
Many a fowl found dead in the yard
will often weigh no more than its
bones and feathers. Want of water is
the cause. In cold weather. chickens
will often remain on the roost nearly
all day, and the little time spent in
eating is not enough to enable them
to drink, unless 1t is very convenient
ly placed. See to it that every chick
en- not only eats but drinks, If you
would have them thrive. To insure
this there is nothing better than set
ting pan of milk in some sheltered
place, on the south side Of the barn
or henhouse The milk Is also favor
able to egg production. In cold
weather pull the fowls from the
rnosts il they will not come down
otherwise when you are feeding and
watering them. On no account let
them eat snow or ice. When they
peck at the snow it is a sure sign that
drink Is needed. Witness:

ing to pure bred sire; They COM
menced with COW that would pro-
duce 225 pounds Of butter a years
that was her limit. She was bred to
a pure bred dairy SIRE The daugh-
ter of this combination produced 275
pounds of butter year. In the fourth
generation, all the product of pure
bred sires, there were two cows that
made 450 pounds of butter a year.
If they could be collected, there are
a host of such examples scattered

BE LIBERAL TO YOUR FARMS


Be liberal to your farms and they
will be liberal to you A farm is very
much in one respect like a looking
glass-it reflects the character of the
owner exactly. If he is parsimonious
his farm will show it. If he is a man
of taste his buildings, fences and gen.
eral arrangement of hisfarm will tell
the tale. No effort on his part to dis
guise his real thoughts or sentiments
will avail anything so long as the opa
erations of his farm belle his words.
The farmer who invests freely in his
farm is sure to be paid we'll for his
risk and trouble. Liberality in pro-
viding utensils, sage the Western Ru-
raj, is the saving Of both time and Ia
Dor. The more perfect the farmers
tools the more profitable are they.
So, also, 1t is with his working cattle
and bis stock. The>most perfect in
their kinds are most profitable. Lib
crafty in good barns and warm shell
ter is the source Of health, strength
and comfort to animals, causes them
to thrive on less food and secures
from damage all sorts of crops. Lib
eraltty also In the provision of food
for domestic animals is the source of
flesh and muscle and manure Liber-
atty to the earth, in seed, culture and
compost is the source Of its beauty.

MAKING SWEDISH BUTTER.

4 MAKING SWEDISH BUTTER.
The method known as the Swedish
system of making butter consists sim
ply of setting milk in deep cans, about
seven and one-half inches in diameter
by twenty inches long, and placing
them in a pool of water filled with
broken ice, so as to maintain tenn
peratIre as near forty degrees as
possible, and in taking off their first
twelve hours cream for their export
butter. This is churned Immediately.
at temperature of from fifty to sixty
degrees, freed from buttermilk and
packed in sealed tin cans, holding
four and eight pounds. Thus made
and prepared 1t will remain sweet In
definitely. The milk, after the first
skimming, is made into cheese, or re-
mains until all the cream has risen
and made into butter, known as sec
onds," used for home and domestic
use. The Swedes claim that by TAX
ing of the cream containing the larg-
er globules, which first rise, more
solid and firmer butter can be made.
At the same time 1t is freed from the
Influences of the atmosphere and the
germs of decay floating therein. Ger
tain it is that, whereas the country
was famous for producing the poorest
butter of any country in Europe, it
now, under this system, produces the
finest butter in the world.-Weekly
Witness.
