Churning should cease when the
granules of butter are about the size
of large wheat grains. The butter milk
and wash water can be drained out
and the salt mixed uniformly through
out the butter This is a very i'm
portant step in making good butter.
If the butter Is gathered in large
mass it is almost impossible to re-
move the buttermilk and wash water
from the butter, and to mix the salt
with it evenly.
Draw off the buttermilk, straining 1t
through coarse strainer to catch any
particles of butter that might escape
and add as much water to the churn as
there was cream, and of about the
same temperature. Revolve the churn
not more than fifteen or twenty revo
buttons and allow the water to drain
out thoroughly.
Then salt and work the butter and
put it in neat packages, II 1t is to 50
on the market.

On the other hand, in counties
which have improved their roads, the
schools are easily reached, the aver
age attendance greater, the efficiency
largely increased and economic con-
solidation made possible. Regular at

and regular growth of both school

rural s~choolhouses are so constructed
ing places for various kinds Of public
meetings, and where vans are used to
convey the children to school during
the day they are frequently pressed
into service to haul the farmers and
their wives to institute work, lectures,
or entertainments at the schoolhouse.
The consolidated school becomes a
sort of community center to which all

highways leading to it should be so
improved as to render it readily &C.

FORGOT ONE BIG ESSENTIAL.

Milton Balzac was a struggling au'
thor. OF course, he was poor, and, OF
course, he was starving and living In
a bare garnet. No self-respecting au-
thor ever struggled without a bare
garnet.
But now the end was at hand. He
had had no food for two days, and his
masterpiece had been returned from
the forty-eighth publisher.
So at midnight he carefully stopped
up every crevice in window and door,
turned on the gas and lay down On his
plank bed to die.
But in the morning-such is the
irony Of fate-there arrived a letter
from a famous editor inclosing a
check for 500 for one of his exquisite
short stories. All. 1t was too. too sad !!
But do not weep. NJ. B. was not
dead. He Is alive today, making ten
thousand a year from his novels. He
had forgotten to put a coin in the gas
meter! - Pittsburgh Chronicle-Tele-

EVOKED PRAISE OF SURGEONS
instruments Used by Romans 1900
Years Ago Almost Identical With
Those Employed Today.

An exhibition of ancient Roman sur
gical instruments of bronze, so perfect
in their mechanics and principle of OPP
GRAFTON that they might be used in the
| present day. was the wonder of hun
dreds of visiting surgeons at the Patho-
logical museum in the Jefferson Med
ical college at Philadelphia.
Cnearthed in vOlcano-smothered Her
culaneum, they are in almost perfect
condition, beautifully fashioned, etched
and carved instruments of bronze, for
the surgeons of the ancient Roman EN-
pire evidently were artists as well as
healers.
The remarkable fact for the visit
ing surgeons was that the instruments
are in a mechanical way singularly like
the most modern instruments applied
to similar uses-mOdern instruments
whose perfection has been gained only
after centuries of study and improve
ment. The ancient instruments are
much more complex in their operation
than those of modern times, but have
Deen made ana adapted to particular
uses with wonderful ingenuity. There
are a number of instruments used for
genealogical work and to aid in
births, and an equipment of scissors,
forceps for various uses, lances and
knives.
One famous surgeon from the West
examined the specimens very carefully
and admiringly declared that if the in.
strulnents were refurbished and
cleaned and sharpened he would not
be afraid to perform an operation with
them even at this day. IL think these
instruments over 1,SOO years old are
better than the instruments in use by
200 years ago." he said.

The curious thing was that CarlOttt

If she wanted to. Shed happened OF
n bit Of notwithstanding u wedding
had been stopped for less. 1t rather
obsessed her to think Of stopping the
wedding, so that Sidney and Max
would not walk down the aisle to
gether.
There came, at last, an hour before
the wedding, a lull in the feverish
activities of the previous month. Ev.
erything was ready. In the attic, In
the center of a sheet, before a toilet
table which had been carried upstairs
for her benefit, sat, on this her day
of days, the bride. All the second
story had been prepared for guests
and presents. Christine sat alone in
the center Of her sheet. The brides
maids had been sternly forbidden to
come into her room.
II haven't had a chance to think for
a month";" she said. "And I've got
some things I've got to think out"
But, when Sidney came, she sent for
her. Sidney found her sitting on a
stiff chair, In her wedding gown, with
her veil spread out on a small stand.
"ClOse the door," said Christine.
And, after Sidney had kissed her:
1--WE a good mind not to do it,"
You're tired and nervous, that's

II am, Of our But that isn't
what's wrong with me. Throw that
veil some place and sit down."
Christine was undoubtedly rouged, a
very delicate touch. Sidney thought
brides should be rather pale. But
under her eyes were lines that Sidney
had never seen there before.
I'm not going to be foolish, Sidney.
I'll go through with it, of course. 1t

She suddenly turned on Sidney.

Three months before, perhaps, Sid

could change that. And when, late
that night, Wilson found him on the
balcony and added appeal to argu.
ment, the situation remained un.
changed. He realized its hopelessness
when X. lapsed into whimsical humor.
I'm not absolutely useless where l
am, you know, Max" he said. "Tve
raised three tomato plants and q fam
lily of kittens this summer, helped to
plan a trousseau, assisted in selecting
wallpaper for the room just inside
did you notice it?-and developed a
boy pitcher with a ball that twists
around the bat like a COLES fracture
around a splint!"
Wilson rose and flung his cigarette
into the grass.
81 wish l understood yOu!" he said
irritably.
X. rose with him. and all the sup
pressed feeling of the interview was
crowded into his last words.
I'm not as u~ngrateful as you think,
Max" he said. "I-you've helped a
lot. Don't worry about me. I'm as
well off as l deserve to be, and better.
Good night"
Good night"
Wilson's unexpected m%agnanimity
put X. in a curious position-left
him. as ii were, with a divided allie
glance. Sidney's frank %infatuation for
the young surgeon was growing. He
was quick to see it. And where before
he might have felt justified in going
to the length of warning her, now his
hands we're tied.
Sidney went on night duty shortly
after her acceptance. She tumbled
