down the front stair. 1t was good to
feel Danvers' strong young body
stiffen as he, too, listened. Then Rand
did the last thing in the world which
! expected; he suddenly drew a very
stout knife from his sleeve and drove
1t into the wall, which gave, with a
ripping, tearing noise.
At that everything seemed to hap
pen at once. A sinking, crouching
figure flung itself headlong from the
door leading to the servants quarters.
1t had no uniform, so | shot. 1t crum-
pied up and lay twitching. Rand,
without even looking over his shoulder,
continued to cut and slash the sway
ing wall, which suddenly debouched
upon him the limp body of man and
a sitting odor of sulphur and through
1t all the shadow lay upon the wall!
Rand was STOPPING swiftly over the
body which had fallen from the panel

other figure was creeping out rec

toward the front hall, and l followed

Suddenly Rand moved resolutely

Then he turned, facing us, and leaned
against the opposite wall.

Substitute for Dairy Product Made
From Plant Oil.

Butter, as the term (from the Greek
word meaning ok cheese') implies,
was originally a name for a product
obtained from the milk of the COW,
and afterward. by extension, for a like
substance obtained from the milk of
other animals, such as the eve and
the goat BY n further extension, the
name has been applied TO certain fixed
vegetable oils, the melting point, con-
sistency and aspect of which resemble
butter of animal origin, such as but
ter of cocoa" a concrete oil of a sweet
and agreeable taste obtained from the
kernels of the fruit of Theobroma ca
Gao or ''ehocolate-nut tree" butter OF
Bamhuk," an oil obtained from spe-
cies of almond in Senegal, and used
incidentally; and butter of nutmegs'
or butter of mace a sebaceous sub
stance expressed in the East Indies
from the arilus of the fruit of Myristi-
ca moschata.
To the plants yielding such oils has
been applied the name of butter
trees" and to the oils themselves the
term vegetable butter" The ibutter
tree" of Nepal is the Bassia butyracea
the seeds of which yield by pressure n
semi solid OIL which thiekens and be-
comes of the consistency of lard. 1t

etable butter and is used for culina-
ry purposes. and. by the natives of

seer of Bassia latifolia, the ''mahwa
tree" of Bengal, yield greenish-
white OIL which is of the consistency
of butter, and which is used as such
by the poorer classes. From the flow
ers of the tree is distilled a spirit re-
sembling whiskey, which the natives
like better and consume i'm large
quantities. Another species of the

IN A NEW FORM.
Teachers Institutes Will Be Offered
In Two Maine Counties.

The Teachers institute in a new
form will be offered the teachers of
two Maine counties. in the early fall.
State Superintendent Payson Smith
hopes to investigate a form of teach
ers' institute which will be of more
definite and practical value to rural
and village teachers than the one and
day conventions. BY holding the
institute just prior to the opening { (
the school year and by devoting an
entire week to instruction in meth
DDS on the common school subjects he
believes definite assistance in form
ulating the work of the year will be
given. The plan will also obviate the
necessity of interrupting the schools
during the school year for convention
purposes.
The one week institute of this kind
has been most successful in promot-
ing the efficiency of the schools in
many Western states and Supt. smith
thinks ii can be made equally val
liable in Maine. Two counties, YORK
and Lincoln, have been selected with
view to testing the value of such
institutes here. If these prove success
full this year, as expected, the plan
will doubtless be extended and the
mid-year conventions may finally be
eliminated.
The institutes to be held. this year.
will open, Monday, Sept. 2. and VIII
be held at Newcastle and Saeo.
notably strong group of instructors
will be present at both institutes. The
superintendents of schools of the
counties in which the meetings VIII
be held will be given opportunity 10
hold daily conferences with their own
teachers for the purpose of planning
the work of their local schools. rms
arrangement will enable the schools
to open with purposes clearly defined
and plans definitely formulated.
The Institutes as arranged are a
part of the plan of campaign an
nounced at the Castine Conference
for the betterment of rural eduea-
ton.

look into the future, and so get only
the books which have some literary
merit. some moral uplift, some infor-
national value.
The following tests. quoted from A.
w. Bostwiek were suggested for good
books of fiction.
The test of language. No book can
be good which is not written in cor
rect English.
Tile test of simplicity and clearness.
The test of good taste.
The test of truth. No book can be
good whose subject matter is false; or,
in the case of fiction, whose manner
of telling is such as to make it seem
absurdly improbable.
The test of the effect on the reader.
If 3. book makes the reader want to
be mischieyous. foolish or criminal, to
be silly. or a bad man or woman, or
if it tends to make him do his daily
work badly, it is a bad book.
Mrs. Johnson quoted selections from
books which met these tests and from
those which did not and ended with a
plea that libraries should include nov
els, pertraying a happy and refined
home life. stories of daring and adj
venture which stir the blood and slim
ulate courage without clarifying bru-
tally; mystery stories which present
problems for clever brains to solve,
without making the evil courses al

The butter tree" of Africa, the
! seeds of which produce the ..galam
butter" or "sha butter" mentioned by
Mungo Park i'm his travels, is a.
species of the same genus. b. Parkii.
The fruit when ripe is of the size Of
peach, and, after being dried in the
sun, is pounded in mortar until re-
dueed to flour. 1t is then mixed
with water and boiled for a short
time. when greasy particles become
detached and rise to the surface.

When cold the oil is of the con-

Gle of considerable trade with the
natives of Western Africa. The but

and other parts or west tropical
Africa is Pentadesma butyracea, the
"komoot tree" or .kanya tree
From the seeds of this the natives
extract an oil called ''kaYfya BUTTER
which is used by them for cooking
The butter is extracted by drying and
parching the seeds. then pounding
and boiling them, and skimming off
the supernatant oil. A yellow greasy
juice is given out freely when the
fruit is cut or opened. The oil has a
terebenthene flavor and is therefore
not relished by the English settlers
1t is sold as butter in the market OF
Freetown.

in Mysore and the western coast
jungles, yields the pigment gamboge,

"gamboge butter" An allied special,
G. purpurea, furnishes a similar oil
called "eocum butter" These oil
buffers are obtained by pounding the
seeds. boiling them and skimming eff
the floating grease. They are used
as substitutes for butter as well as oil
for lamps.

Africa. The part yielding the oil is
the outer fleshy coating of the fruit,
but the seed, which is inclosed in

Commercial palm oil is of about the
consistency of butter. of bright
orange-red color, and of a pleasant
violet like edor when fresh. In
Europe and America it is largely
used for making soap, but in Africa
it is eaten as butter.-Seientific
