One Way to View IL,

Queen Victoria made visit to the
Trossachs In 1859. On the road be-
tween Calender and Kilmanog the
Laird Of Leny displayed number Of
banners bearing words Of welcome.
But on the return to Calender the mot
toes were indecipherable through the
backs OF the banners. Some one sug-
gested that with Il little extra expendi-
ture Welcome. Victoria" might have
been inscribed on both sides. There's
nae need o that" said old james
Buchan Of Kilmanog. The queen will
just think that the English letters as
seen through the bunting are Gaelic."-

Workinu Butter.

Butter is worked enough when the
salt is evenly distributed Just when
this point has been reached cannot
always be told from the appearance
of the butter Immediately after work
ing. But butter that has not been
sufficiently worked will show white
streaks or mottles after FIVE or six
hours. Whenever such streaks occur
the butter must be reworked until all
the streaks have been removed. To
avoid mottled or streaky butter the
only safe rule to follow is to work the
butter twice. The first time 1t is
worked lightly. just enough to fairly
distribute the salt 1t is then allowed
to stand six hours or longer, when
white streaks will be noticeable. The
butter is then worked again until the
color is uniform. Chicago News.

DRYING OUT GASES.
Various Methods by Which the Mois-
ture is Eliminated.

Various Methods by Which the Mois
ture is Eliminated.
In the manufacture of gases like
oxygen, acetylene or Illuminating gas.
to be used Immediately in chemical
processes, it is often necessary to free
them from all moisture.
One of the commonest mems is tn
bubble the wet" gas through con-
centrated sulphuric acid or through a
heap of glass beads covered with this
liquid. Concentrated sulphuric acid has
powerful tendency to absorb mois-
ture from other substances-a prop
erty which is aptly illustrated when a
splinter of wood is dipped into the
liquid. The acid extracts from the
cellulose (Which is the principal con-
sdtuent OF wood, all the hydrogen and
oxygen. which cellulose contains in
just the proper proportions to form
water. The only other component of
cellulose is carbon. and this alone is
left. leaving the wood charred as if
by fire.
Another way to dry a gas is to pass
it through small chunks of calcium
chloride. This extracts water or vapor
from everything.
The most efficient of all methods is
that adopted by the bureau of STAN
dards at Washington. where a machine
is used which, by lowering the temper
ature of the gas passed through it.

the gas absolutely dry.-St. Louis Post

THEY LOST THE PRIZE.
But Then the contenders Were Only a!
Lot of Sea Gulls.

Ooh 'HSH tnS OonteHuers were Only q
Lot Of Sea Gulls.
Some campers at northern lake
once put big fish on a sloping rock
near the waters edge to see what the
gulls would do.
A soaring scavenger soon spied it
and swooped down for a feast.
Selling the fish in his talons the vo.
racious bird tapped its great wings
and screamed greedily as he tried to
make off with his find.
But the fish was too heavy to be
lifted. The only result of repeated
attempts was that the fish began to
slide toward the water and soon fell
in with a splash.
Diving after it, the gull brought it
to the surface, and then began q curl
Gus spectacle. Time after time the gull
hoisted the fish rs high as his strength
would permit, only to weaken and let
the fish fall again. The noise attra cted
other gulls and a battle ensued. First
one gull and then another would dive
for the fish. lift it part way above the
waters surface and be set upon by
other gulls until the fish slipped back,
a sacrifice to jealousy and greed.
For almost an hour this struggle
lasted, ending only when all the gulls

SPEECH AND THE CHIN.

Maybe at Ono Time the Tongue Proved

In man the chin seems to project
more and more as he progresses to-
ward his modern civilized condition.
This must imply that Immediately the
huge lower CANNES degenerated the
part took on some other function of
vital Importance to the race and that
the need has increased with his intel
lectual and social advancement
My theory, then, is that the chin is
essentially part of the mechanism of
articulate speech.
1t Is tempting to theorize little fur
ther and to suggest that the human
chin perhaps bears testimony to a pre-
historic change from carnal weapons
to others which, il not exactly spirit
ual. were such as appealed to the
part Of us where spiritual forces work,
for apparently long ago before the pen
proved mightier than the sword the

TOWER OF LONDON.
II Once Had a Menaserie With !, MUIR
derous Orang Outaf,a.

- O"Ne "e"aserIe WHp muT-
derous orang outano.
1t is not generally known that until
the year 1884 there was a menagerie of
wild beasts in the Tower of London.
In his book, London Survivals," the
Rev. p. III. Ditchfield writes:
! "a word or two may be said about
this collection of beasts. 1t commenced
with the present of three leopards from
the Emperor Frederick to Henry ILL.,
an appropriate gift. as our sovereign
bore three of these animals on his
shield OF arms. and then white bear
was added. for which the sheriffs of
London were ordered to provide muz-
zle and an iron chain to secure him
when out of the water and long. stout
cord to hold him when fishing in the
Thames. We fear his successors at the
geological gardens do not enjoy the like
diversion. Then came an elenbant In
the time of Edward ii. there was a
lion. for which the sheriffs, who must
have deemed these creatures trouble
some beasts, had to provide daily a
quarter of mutton.
Paul Hentzner saw here in 1898
three lionesses. a lion of great size
called Edward vi. from his having
been born in that reign-a tiger, LYNX,
a wolf. exceedingly DID, a porcupine
and an eagle. James l. often visited
the menagerie and used to enjoy bait
ing the lion with dogs or seeing a fight
between bear and lion. In 1854
there were two man tygers'-orang-
outangs-one Of which killed boy by
throwing a cannon ball ut him."

TO CELEBRATE
PURIM FEAST
JEWISH PEOPLE WILL HOLD FIT
TING CEREMONY FOR ToMoR-
ROWS FESTIVAL AND YOUNG
PLAY, "EsTHER" TONIGHT AT
PROGRESS CLUB.

The congregation of Temple Beth FL
will celebrate the Purim Festival
which falls this year on March IL.
The feast of Purim is a festival of
Joy and gladness, based on the story
told IN the Book of Esther, one of the
give Scrolls which are contained
in the third division of the Bible called
sacred Writings It's celebration
commemorate the deliverance of the
Jews OF Persia from total annihfla-
ton.
Hannah. the prime minister of King
Ahasuerus, taking offense at the lack
of difference shown him by Mordecai,
in revenge plots the destruction of all
the Jews The king unaware that Es-
Their, the queen, was a Jewess, grant
ed Haman's request and ordered that
on a certain day chosen by lot Cor
pur, which means casting lots), all
the Jews Of the kingdoms OF Persia
and Media should be destroyed. and
their property taken as spoils AT the
intervention of Esther, the king with
drew the decree, ordered Hannah, the
intriguer, to be executed and appoint
ed Mortiecai as prime minister in his
stead The days on which the general
massacre of the Jews was to have TAX
en- place were now changed into days
of Joy and feastins and given the
name of Purim.
Although the historical accuracy of
he Of TSfH hos In,
question and some scholars escribe the
origin of this feast to an old foik-fes-
tival that was celebrated in Persia at
the early spring season, still whatever
be it's origin. Purim has been cele-
brated by the Jews for over two thou
sand years as a festival of joy and
Thanksgiving. 1t served TO recall the
repeated deliverances that have come
to Israel in the midst of the most dire
prosecutions that threatened its de-
st1uctfon. Together with the general
spirit of jolliffcation, there also grew
up the beautiful custom OF sending
gifts to friends and especially to the
poor on this day. This custom is call
ed Sh'lach- Monos.
In the synagogue services, this day
is distinguished by reading the Book
of Esther and special prayers of
for Gods protection and
