TO MAKE CLARIFIED BUTTE
Method of Purifying It Which Mnre.
It as Good as Finest Flor
ence OIL.

The following are some of DR. Kitch
ener's butter recipes
Clarified Butter.-Put the butter in
nice clean stewpan. over a very clear
slow fire, watch 1t and when 1t melts
carefully skim off the buttermilk, etc,
which will swim on the top. Let IT
stand a minute or two for the impuri
ties to sink to the bottom, then pour
The clear butter through a sieve into
clean basin. leaving the sediment at
the bottom of the stewpan. Butter
thus purified will be as sweet as mar
row-a very useful covering for potted
meats, etc., end for frying fish. equal
to the finest Florence oil.
Burnt Butter.-Put two ounces of
fresh butter into a small frying pan
When 1t becomes a dark brown color
add to 1t tablespoonful and a half
of good vinegar and a little pepper
and salt.
Oiled Butter.-Put two ounces OF
fresh butter into a saucepan, set 1t al
a distance from fire SO that 1t may
melt gradually till 1t comes to an oil
and pour It quietly from the dregs.
This will supply the place of olive oil
and by some it Is preferred either for
salads or frying.

Tyrus r. Cobb Establishes
Several New Worlds Record

In all the history Of maor league
baseball so far as existing recordsj
SHOW. there neve has been an in
dividual outbreak of batting to
equal that in which Tyrus Raymond
Cobb INDUCED on Wednesday and
Friday last week. Even in the old
days when the batter was allowed
to call for a high or low ball and
the pitcher was obliged to throw
underhand. nobody approached the
Georgian's feats of bright eyesight
and strong raps.
The Peach is charged with nine
teen legal times at bat in the com
blned double headers of Wednesday
and Friday in Philadelphia. and in
fousteen safe hits. including three
doubles. two triples and two home
runs. which makes the modest total
of twenty-seven bases. Cobb's batting
average for this time is just 1877, and
MS grand average Counting total
bases) foots up to 1.421. Which re
minds one of the remark made by the
man on seeing a rhinoeceros: There
amt no such animal"
Among other records established by
the Peach. he made seven consecutive
hits on each of two successive days,
which is something no other man
who ever entered the major ranks
can boast of. Beginning with his
third time up in the first game of
Wednesdays double header, Cobb
went to the plate seven times in a
row and cracked cut a septet of
blows. including three doubles and a
