BERLIN BUTTER BOYCOTT.
Germans, Frugal Souls, Object Z"
Paying 3G Cents n Pound.


Paying 81 Cents n Pound.
Berlin has a butter boycott 1t is
also spoken of in the dispatches as a
bitter boycott, thus, In addition TO
other attractive features, giving it the
neat and alliterative interest that must
attend such a movement as the Berlin
bitter butter boycott. The people, fru-
gal souls, object to paying sc cents a
pound for butter, insisting that 26 Is
quite enough. When we hear such
news as this most Of us are astounded
at the moderation of our own tolera-
ton, thu Indianapolis News says. For
months we have been paying all sorts
of prices for butter-some people in
sist that they have even paid more
than that; prices. indeed, that made
SO cents look like the easy times OF
the days before prosperity hit us SO
hard. Our prices are not SO high now.
to be sure. but the product is still
quoted at a rate that leaves SO cents
far short OF appearing appalling.
Our own butter prices have been
subtly progressive. Not many years
g the ordinary householder bought
his butter by contract from an timer
ant huckster at '25 cents a pound the
year round" Then, as prosperity pro-
ceeded, there came an autumn when
the butter man announced that he
would have to charge 80 cents durSns
the winter. This was paid grudgifYgly,
but when the spring came and the
grass grew and p~asturage became rich
there was no return to the 25-cent
rate. Under the new df~spensation but
ter had come to 80 cents the year
round. Then came another chilling
autumn when the huckster concluded
that 1t would be necessary for him to
charge 35 cents a pound in the winter.
Again 1t was paid, grudgingly; again
the spring came, the grass grew and
the ~pasturage became rich. n again
there was no return to the summer
price. The year-round contract price
is now holding steady at IS cents, gen.
orally speaking, with scant prospect
Of lower rates for the summer. And
the householder has disconcerting Wis
ons of 40 cents the year-round price,
beginning with next fall. Something
may intervene to a v him, but he has
his doubts. For the last twelve or
thirteen years there have been *
tremely few saving interventions.
A butter boycott, even a bitter but-
ter boycott. would be possible, OF
course. but experience is not encour-
aging. The only result OF the meat
boycott appears to have been higher
prices, which we are still paying. al
though it is admitted that the meat
boycott has passed into history. 1t
was a well-intentioned effort, but it evil
IDENTIFY did not take fully into con-
sideration humanity's gastric cravings
or the strength OF the packers stand
spattishness. We shall watch the effort
of the Berliners to force down buttex
prices with interest, If not exactly with
confidence. If they win it will indt.
cate n of two things-either they
have more determination than we have
or the people ove there who control

bell sounds the hours, the little bells,
the "Sancte Spiritus,' the angel opens
the gate to salute the Virgin Mary.
The two heads of the lions move the
eyes and tongue. The astrolabe shows
the hours in its degree and the move
ment of the loon. Moreover, the per-
petual calendar shows all the days of
the year, the feast days and the bis
seXtile. The hour at which the chimes
are complete are 5 and 6 o'clock in the
morning, midday and 1 and 2 o'clock
in the afternoon. The chimes at the
other hours are restricted SO as not to
interfere with the cathedral services.
Complicated indeed is the clock of
Beauvais cathedral. 1t is said to be
composed of $4,000 separate pieces on
the fifty-two dial plates, the hour, the
day, the week and the month; the ris.
ing and setting of the sun, phases of
the moon, the tides, the time in the
principal capitals of the world, to-
gether with a series of terrestrial and
astronomical evolutions. The frame
work is of carved oak, eight meters by
five meters, or &c by 16h feet.
When the clock strikes all the "edi-
fee" seems in movement. The designer

are boys. Men are rare there. They
pass through the block on business or

old books are sold, but they seldom
drop into any of the little restaurants.
There is nothing to prevent their do

Electricity win. wa.hInx Rae.


At h recent electrical show in Chi
cago electricity won a very pretty race
with hand labor to see who could wash
the most clothes in a given time.
Five pretty girls, operating new
types of electric washing machines
and motor-driven wringers, raced with
six ladies of pronounced color who
did their work by the world-old hand
method. using the old fashioned wash
tubs. wash boards and hand wringers.
The girls started the electric motors
to work on the clothes and spent the
most of their time laughing and
chatting with the visitors while the
machines ran themselves. The col
ored women worked as hard as ever
they could, for if they washed half as
many clothes as the girls and cleo
tricity did they were t o get one nun
dred dollars. The suds flew fast and
furious about the colored girls but
when time was called they had not
washed a third az many clothes as
their contemporaries did, 80 they lost
the prize, but were handsomely re-
warded for their honest work. demon

ancient and modern laundry methods.

JOHN ALDEN WAY IN CHINA.

Chinese Lovers Like Having
"Middleman Propose for Them.
DR.. Isaac T. Headland, a resident of
Pekin for many years, where he enjoy
ed the friendship of the late dowager
empress, throws a new light on the
new women of China. Taking up the
relations between the sexes and espe-
c1ally the Chinese method of getting
a wife, the Travel Magazine says, he
repeats a conversation with a young
Ch1naman who had recently become
engaged to a Chinese maiden with
whom he had never spoken.

vantage over the old Chinese method
of finding a wife and getting engaged"
said my celestial friend.

AMERICANS DO LOVE CANDY.

Fifty years ago the candy of the
country was ostZtnvarlably hard
and coarse, and much of it unwhole-
some. Now the making Of it has be-
come a fine art and the wizard Of con-
cOction and flavoring has e fortune
at his command. Pure candy. in mod.
crate quantities, is no longer regarded
as a menace to the healthy stomach.
1t has been sent to the American sol
diers at Manila, and to British soldiers
in the Transvaal, while we have a re-
cent unconfirmed tradition that the
lure Of the gumdrop will enlist an Es-
kimo in almost any service. As candy
takes its place among the articles that
go to make up high living. we may
assume, says the Boston Transcript.
that its consumption, even per capita.
Is steadily on the increase. To know
just how much of it we are eating at
the present time we must await the
new census figures. Not since 1905
have we had oficial information to
guide us, and subsequent developments
must be largely guesswork.
But between 1900 and 1905 the candy
factories Of the country increased from
947 to 1.34S, considerably more than
10 per cent. The capital invested. how.
ever, more than doubled, and the value
of the finished product increased near.

Clinton, N. j., saw a picture of a hui

he stole into the hayloft when his

wasn't much hay in the loft, and the
boy. after a few preliminary stunts in
the hand-springing line, buckled his
heels to the back of his neck with a
strap and began to roll around in imi-

lap William inadvertently rolled across
a corner of the hatchway and lamost
went through. He bumped his ribs
on the edges of the opening in the loft.
That scared him and made him very
tired. When he tried to unbuckle his
legs from his neck he found he was
too near exhaustion to loose the strap.
He rolled up near a window opening
toward the farm house and tried to
shout for help. but his voice was all
in and the hoarse squeak could not be
heard ten yards away. In a panic the
boy decided on a desperate measure.
He rolled himself over to the head Of
