The Chattanooga Times is worried
over democracy in Tennessee, and the
prohibition democrats and the republi
cans joining together to GUST whiskey
from the state seems to have excited
this unsettled feeling. If it is a ques-
tion of whiskey VS.. democracy it would
be far better to wipe democracy from
the state rather than let whiskey con-
troll it. Let the Times consider this.

suTTgR-MAkIhe ADVICE.
Practical Suggestion from a Woman
Who Is Experienced Hand.

Mrs. A. Joseph, woman farmer,
has written very interesting article
on butter making. She writes as fol-
lows:
When butter is high. why should we
| buy 1t when it can be made at home
with very little expense and trouble?
With two good cows one can have
all the milk and cream needed for
the table and cooking and at the same
time make enough butter for family
of six. seven or eight.
Never keep COW that gives less than
200 pounds OF butter fat per year. as
1t will take about $50 pounds OF but
ter fat to keep her. and you want
some profit.
Alfalfa, meal and middlings are by
far the best and cheapest food, and
of course she should have hay food
also 1t is well to give her some green
feed. too, such as grass and carrots,
and If near cider mill and the pulp
can be procured IL will make excellent
food.
Do not keep COW In dark barn
or shed that does not admit the sun
light. Put windows in 1t that will
let in the light and sunshine to every
corner. This will help keep of the
dread tuberculosis to which many
cows are subject.
The milk should be kept clean. and
after straining Of one has no sep.
arator, should be poured into ordi-
nary milk cans and kept in cool.
dry place.
Some claim that if the milk is
warmed slightly before s,raining the
cream will rise more quickly. II is
also remarkable that II the pantry,
milk house or wherever the milk is
kept is light the cream will rise better
and he a richer color.
When the cream becomes thick

no milk is mixed with it, Set It in a

ing. \ little over two quarts of cream
will make two pounds OF butter.
If one has no churn a very inex-
pensive way of churning is the fol.
lowing:
Place the cream in a cool milk
crock. Then with a very heavy wire
egsbeatcr beat the cream with long,
quick strokes-just the stroke you
would use In beating eggs.
Do not stir around. as II spoils the

ing until the cream becomes thick and
forms into little grains.
Remove the beater and stir the
cream with small-sized butter pad.

Tragic Tale of a rraqedian.

'The awfulest and the funniest stage wait I ever lived through" said a sprightly English actress, was when certain well known London actor manager, whose name I dare not divulge, was doing tremendous curse scene on a darkened stage. He had the audience spellbound with his sonorous declamation, which, of course they didn't know depended largely upon his ample mouthful of false teeth. At the very climax of his blood curdling maledictions the entire dental collection dropped out suddenly in the excitement of the moment and bound ed into some obscure hiding place. The tragedian's mighty voice died down to an unintelligible humble as he groped about frantically in search of the miss ing masticators. We were all too help less from laughter to be of much help in this critical situation. At last, after what seemed like half an pour of the most hysterical suspense, the stage manager located the teeth with the aid of a dark lantern and restored them to the frantic star, who clapped them into his mouth and began cursing again with redoubled ea-nestness. never knew what the audience thought, and no one ever dared to ask the actor manager."-New York World.

Must Keep tn. Curtain. Up.

'In London 1t is strictly against the law for the driver of any public con- veyance to allow the curtains of his vehicle to be pulled down." said a man who has visited the English metropolis. By day or night the windows of cabs, hansoms, carriages, or what not, wheth- CT drawn by horses or propelled by electric power, must be so open to public inspection as to allow a plain view of those occupying the interior. A closed rig wouldn't get block be- fore London bobby would nab its driver and hale him to a magistrates office, where he would get no mercy. The law is based on the theory that closed vehicles lend themselves easily to the commission of robbery or mur- der and that they may also assist criminal to make bis escape. e.'-Bald- more American.

Quicksilver.

The ore from which quicksilver is obtained is a brilliant red rock known as cinnabar. When of high purity it is actually vermiiion in color. Cinna- bar is the original source of the pig ment known commercially as vermil- ion It is a compound of sulphur and quicksilver, and in order to separate the latter from the sulphur the rock is roasted. Passing off in the form of gas, the mercury is afterward con- densed and flows out in fine stream, like a continuous pencil of molten sill yer. Like gold and silver, mercury is occasionally found in a native or pure state. Sometimes the miners pick penetrates a cavity that contains a cupful or more of the elusive and beau tiful fluid. Miners suffer much from the poisonous effects of the quicksilver fumes. Extreme cleanliness is the best safeguard for workers in this danger ous occupation. Use is also made of sort of lemonade which serves to cer- tain eytent as an antidote, a strong acid taking. the place of lemon juice in the composition of the drink.

Venetian Coffee house..

The first cup of coffee was drunk in Europe at Venice toward the end of the sixteenth century. The Venetian chronicler Morosini in bis records of the events in the year 1885 mentions che beverage called "cavee" drunk by the Turks ana noted for its anti-sopo- rife qualities m the year 1891 a Venetian doctDf introduced the berries from Egypt, taught his countrymen how to crush them and brew the bev- craze, and the use of coffee soon be came general-so much so, in fact, that Venice was full of coQee houses where the people idled away their days drink ing the aromatic beverage. A pecul- iarfty of the Venetian coffee houses was that their patrons did not pay for each cup of coffee they drank, but settled their bills for all the coffee consumed at the end of each year. The regular price of a cup of coffee was soldi. about 21z cents, and in some of the old cafes of Venice today the same price Is still charged.-New York Sun
