Best Methods For Churning.

churn only till the butter globules in
the churn are about the size of a pea.

butter drain off the buttermilk and
wash in five times the amount Of cold
water. The smaller the particles OF
butter when the washing is done the
better can the wash water get among
them for cleaning. When butter is col

Tennyson's court dress when he re-

Good Place for Hepburn.

A Washington dispatch says: Sena-
tor Hepburn of Idaho, will be one of
the benefciaries of the changes that
will take place in the senate after
March 4th. When the new senate
organizes in December 1911, the senior
Idaho senator will become chairman of
the committee of the senate, and one
of the most coveted, because it handles
all bills for the purchase of building
sites, and for the erection of public
buildings throughout the country.
Senator Hepburn is now the third
member of this committee, but the
chairman, Senator Scott of West Vir-
ginia, is not to be reelected, the dem
ocrats having captured the West Vir-
ginia legislature. This leaves Senator
Warren of Wyoming, next in line, but
Senator Warren is already chairman
of the Military committee, which ranks

moreover is in line for chairman of the

Mines Are Made, Not Found.
In money, bankrupt earth.

Contrary to the belief of the public
in general, mines are made, not found.
Dame Nature is very firm, very ex-
acting on this point, and refuses to
deal in ''ready made" producers or
"hand-me-down" bonanzas, demanding
from the prospector and miner, in ex-
change for her gifts, that certain
amount of honest toll be expended be-
fore the keys to her treasure vaults
are handed over, unresevedly, to the
searcher for mineral wealth galore.
And, as matter of fact, if the search
for the precious metals were unattend-
ed by hard labor, the expenditure of
money and by strenuous exertion, and
mines were to be found ''ready made, "
gold and silver, because of over-pro-
duction and supply, would cease to have
any intrinsic value, aside from COM
modify value such as regulates the
market price of iron and copper; the
scarcity of the precious metals and the
hardships and toll involved in their dis
covery and recovery being the main
factor which enables them to maintain
their exalted position throughout the
world as money metals.
If mines were found and all that the
lucky finder had to do was to shovel
out $40 gold pieces. the discovery would
really be of but little value. But the
mining man never looks for ready
made bonanza. 1t is the prospect
that first attracts his attention. The
mineral-stained rift in the rock attracts
his observant eye; the bold outcroT
suggests the existence of the big ore
bodies below. the float on the hillside
leads him to the vein further up the
mountain, and the blossom on the rocks
is an indication to him that the GROUND
in that locality is mineral-bearing
He has found good prospect; but, ht
must make the mine.

will reveal to them the treasure for
which they are seeking. If the pros
pect is as good as the surface showings
would indicate, ore bodies are finally
uncovered. Here new difficulties arise.
The mine, perchance, is inaccessible
from the outside world. Trails and
wagon roads must be built. Shipments
to the market could be made, but the
embryo mine is not sufficiently devel-
oped to maintain regular or heavy
shipments, and the profits from small
and irregular consignments are about
eaten up by heavy freight and smelter
charges. More help must be secured
and more capital must be put into the
enterprise before it can be listed as
financial success. The windlass and
horse whim must give way to more
heavy equipment. Hand drilling is
slow and steam power is needed, with
compressor and drills. A point has
been reached in the development of the
property where primitive methods must
give way to more advanced ideas in
mining operations, for the owners have

TWAS HE.
The Very Same Man Who Lit His Pipe
 Every Morning. t

From an exchange.
 Clifford Finchot, the forester, is an en- tertaining tal,er" said a Philadelphia lawyer During his splendid work at Biltmore we often dined together. Pin chot was a foe to corruption. He dilated one night at dinner on the impudence, the nerve of the corruptionists He said that this impudence was as bad as the little hodcarrier's. He said that one bleak win ter morning in Hogan's saloon, as half a dczen men were warming themselves with peppered ale, a little hodcarrier entered clumpeo noisily in his big boots to the bar. pushed a couple of ale drinkers aside so that he could reach the match box, and, taking a match, lighted a short clay pipe. Then he turned and clumpeh out. Hogan, astonished, gazed after him and wondered who on earth he could be. The next morning the little man appeared again. But AS he opened the door Hogan shouted: Say. who are ye?' 'Ye know me- the little man answered, and passed out The third morning, as usual, he appeared. The clump of his boots seemed louder than ever as he advanced to the bar. There was quite congregation about the match box, but he gently and firmly pushed everyone aside But he had no sooner lit his pipe than Hogan, not to be baked this time, demanded Who are yep You know me- was the answer, and the little fellow started for the door. But Hogan, coming from be- hind the bar, seized his arm, Who are ye?' he repeated. You know me- said the other. I don't know ye,' shouted Hogan. Why. shure. ye do. Shure, ye know me- was the calm answer. I'm the man that comes in here to light his pipe every morning.

 Much has been written of late concern ing the abstract man who lives on $15 a week." Let us now consider the case of certain definite individual. who as a clerk In a Massachusetts bank was paid a salary equal to $11.53 week. Just at present he holds the limelight in the academic city of Cambridge, where he shares with young Sidis the attention of cultured circles of scholars, football men, college widows and retired financiers.
 This clerk, despite his modest salary, lived high, played all sorts of games, gave wine suppers, entertained ladies and speculated on Wall street. It is said he dropped s40.000 in an attempt to break a faro bank in New York He kept a suite of rooms in the Hotel Lenox, where he entertained lavishly; no cigars under 50 cents each were smoked and every guest at a dinner had a bottle of champagne. Stories there are of revels where ladies dressed as prize fighters boxed for points, :. Finally, it is said, he thought nothing
