WORKING 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 notifies after five or six
hours. Whenever such streaks occur
the butter must be reworked until all
the streaks have been removed. To
avoid notified or streaky, butter the
only safe rule to follow is TO work the
butter twice. The first time il 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.

a journey very mucn out or the or.
binary is reported from Edmonton,
Canada, from which point five men sue
ceeded in making an 500 mile automo
bile trip to Peace River Crossing on
or near Lesser Slave lake, a district
usually regarded as sub-arctic, and
certainly virgin country SO far as
automobile travel is concerned. A
photograph from Edmonton shows the
five men fishing in good old Hudson
bay style through the ice of Lesser
Slave lake, with the automobile in the
near distance. Couriers du bois usu-
ally engage n the latter operation to
get fish for themselves and their dogs,
but the automobile never starves-as
long as the fuel holds out The jour
ney probably was not difficult, for the
trail undoubtedly has been broken.
Still it is rather startling to think of
an automobile running up almost into
the wood buffalo and musk-ox coun-
try, but not more indicative of mod
ern progress than the rumor that
reaches US, of regulations to be laid
down by the government relative to
the crossing Of the great Mississippi

The Prohibition Flood

The political protection OF the sa-
loon, gradually aroused public senti-
ment and arrayed against the saloon
thousands of men who had no preju-
dice against the moderate use of
liquor. Patriotic citizens regarded
the whole system as the greatest
stumbling block in the path of hon
est government. No matter what plan
might be proposed for the reform
and advancement OF the city the al
lied liquor and criminal elements
stood beside the machine politicians,
fuskets in hand, to defend the old
system Liberal minded men came
to believe that the saloon, as a social
and political institution, must be
wiped from the face ofthe earth be-
fore anything whatsoever could be
accomplished. After the saloon is de-
stroyedit will be easy to uproot the
weaker evils which have found shell
ser behind it. Thousands of gentle
men say they had rather see the
liquor business in the hands Of few
confessed outlaws, lodging from
bush to bush and hiding in the alleys
than to see it controlled by poEt-
cal tyrants who boss the town. They
canot understand why the liquor bus
inessshould go hand in hand with
every form of vice and crime. The
hardware trade and the grocery stor-
es do not find it necessary to enter
into such partnerships. The dry
goods trade does not continually
fight the law IF this antagonism to
law and decency be necessary for the
success ofthe liquor business, then
there must be something inherent
wrong in the trade itself and that
trade should be stopped.

MAYOR OF BIRD LAND.

How the Beautiful Lizard Canary Got
Its Unique Name.
The lizard canary is one of the most
unique varieties in the cage bird world
It's beautiful ground color, SO nicely
licked. and pretty little cap make 1T
a thing of beauty and joy forever.
1t is, however, the only variety that
mouths out its plumage at the end of
the first season. By this it is meant
that, although the bird possesses so
beautiful a coat for the first year. the
plumage disappears altogether at the
second moult
Thus it is show bird for only one
/. e., the frst-season. and this is con-
sidered a rawback TO its popularity.
On account of it's wearing such gay
apparel for one year and then putting
it aside the lizard has been aptly term
ed mayor of Birdie Land"
The little story connected with the
lizard and a mayor is well worth re-
peating. 1t was al a we'll known cage
bird show being opened by Sir William
Treloar. then lord mayor OF London.

words likened himself unto the lizard

Mendelssohn Surprised Them.

The church of St Johns. Waterloo

with Mendelssohn. The late r. j.
Horsley. r. A. tells In his reminis-
cences how the great musician, while
staying with a friend ON Denmark
hill-in the house where he wrote the
Spring Song"-was induced TO go to
st. Johns one Sunday morning and
give recital on the organ. On reach
ing the organ loft Mendelssohn was
annoyed to find himself exposed TO the
full view of the congregation and
vented his displeasure in a thunderous
improvisation which greatly startled
the worshipers. used as they were to
the "subdued" music then in vogue.
Not being in the secret. they were
still further surprised when the music
ceased and the eccentric performer
sprang up. clapped ON his hat and
abruptly left the building. Westmin-

He said 1t louder than he intended,
and the words reached the noble lord

Alcohol is Doomed

"A press dispatch from Russia
brings the interesting news that the
car has issued an order driving In
toxicating liquor out of the Russian
airy. The following is the text of
the dispatch:
Emperor Nicholas has just pro
mulgated a general order dealing
with the drink evil in his RAINY. It's
provisions are of the most drastic
character, and as such will doubtless
commend themselves to Secretary
Josephus Daniels of the United Stat
es navy. Vodaka is forbidden to the
men at all times, and the car directs
that the most stringent measures
shall be taken to prevent them from
buying 1t. No soldier, If be is known
to be inclined to drink, is allowed to
receive money from home, without
special permission from his com
manding officer.
Officers of every rank are for
hidden to drink spirits in camp, on
the manoeuyers, or while on any
kind of duty, and those in high com
mand are ordered by the emperor to
discourage as much as possible the
drinking of alcohol, and to set an e1-
ample in the matter Of total abstin-
ence to their subordinates. All
cases of drunkenness, either among
officers or men, are to be dealt with
in the most severe manner possible.
Medical officers of the army are to
deliver periodical lectures to officers
and men on the harmful effects of
alcohol.
Commanders of regiments are in
strncted to do their best to improve
the mess life of the officers under
their orders, and to foster the intro
duction of games. the addition of Ii
braries to the mess quarters, and to
arrange for facilities for the study

quired to endeayor to Improve the
