"BILL SKIES, HOUSE" MUST GO
Located In District Made Famous by
Dickens, and Stands in Way
of improvements.

The house from whose roof Bill
Skies tried to lower himself by a rope
to escape the mob that had tracked
him to Jacobs island is to be torn
down. Bill, you remember, made a
misstep as he tried to swing clear Of
the roof, and the moose at the end Of
the rope caught him and hanged him,
whereat his dog, trying to leap from
the roof to his shoulders, missed his
aim and fell into the ditch at the base
Of the house, dashing out his brains
on a stone.
Jacobs island Is in B~edmondsey,
near st. Savior's docks. The. bitches
Or canals which separated 1t from the
mainland and which carried water
from the Thames to the mills and tan
neries in the district, long since dis
appeared. Bill Skies house was iden-
tilted some time ago by the discovery
Of an old map of the district, on
which it's location was plainly indi-
Gated. 1t Is in the e a Of a house
in Eckett street, and Is used as a
stable. The London county council
plans to improve the entire district,
so the region made notorious by "Oli-
yer Twist must go. The name Of
the sixteenth century Jacob, who had a
before it became IN industrial district,
is still preserved in the nearby Jacob
street.-DetrOit News.

P%urebred Sires Should Be Used In
Grading Up Herds.

nearly every kind Of dairy community
that cal be found. The annual report
of the dairy division shows that there
are now about 12O bull associations in
30 different states Of the Union, and
among all classes Of communities.
The extension men of the dairy d.
vision find that in very many cases,
when the idea Of a bull association is
discussed, people think that, while
such an organization Is clearly a good
thing on general principles, the con
ditions In their particular community
are not suitable. Many times, in such
places, 1t has been tried, and to the
surprise Of some it has been found
that the conditions did not stand in
the way at all. There are many such
communities. They have men en-
gagged In dairying; they have scrub or
other inferior bulls which should be
replaced: and they have the need for
better bulls.
Any community in which there are
200 or more cows can better afford
to have a bull association than It can
afford to be without one; and if the
people of the community are neighbour
ly and able to work together in every
day business affairs, they can just as
well have a strong association with
all it's benefits.

Old Coach Travel Extensive,

In England, too, railway fares are
about to be raised, at ven a higher
percentage than in this country, re-
marks a writer in the New York
Times. Whether the consequent grum-
bling Is higher there than here 1t is
impossible to decide. AS an intended
help in shilling 1t, the newspapers are
publishing the prices for transporta-
ton that travellers had to pay in pre-
railway days.
Thus, for the journey from London
to Glasgow the "inside" passenger of
1912 had to pay about $52. Going no
farther than Newcastle from London
cost the mar inside the coach some
thing like $28. In addition there was
the outlay for meals on the road and
for the long list Of expected tips to
guards, coachmen, etc.

COLOR PREFERRED IN BUTTER
That Which Is Not Too Pale Is Gen.
orally Favored-QuaIity Not
Always Affected.

The color Of good butter should be
clear and even throughout. Although
the shade of the color does not always
affect the quality Of the butter, pref
erence is generally given to that which
Is not too pale in color. When the
cream is churned at too high a tenn
perature, the butter comes quickly,
but loses much of it's natural color.
Churning at too low a temperature,
and consequently for too long a time,
also destroys the color of the butter
produced. Color in butter is often
spoiled through. overwashing or over
working it. Butter is of a paler> color
from sweet cream than from ripened,
as in the former case there is more
buttermilk in the finished product.

Medical Triumph.

The successful operations on the
brain of epilepsy patients performed
by Dr.. Walter e. Dandy Of Johns
Hopkins university, and by DR.. Cur
tbs Burnham have now been verified
by a number Of other surgeons. When
a definite set Of muscles are affected
in the epilepsy spasms, seizures, at
tacks, fits, commissions or loss of con-
seriousness, as 1t may be called, the
disease can often be traced to some
fluid matter, seal or cyst which "
ers the section of the brain whose
nerve fbers lead to the tongue or
fingers. In other Words, the first
cure on record Of al epileptic who lost
consciousness during the attack. was
triumpl1antly brought to pass by Doc
tor Dandy.

FOR CLEANING MILK BOTTLES
Cold or Lukewarm Water Prevents
Hardening and Sticking Of AIbu-
men and Casein.

When milk bottles are allowed to
stand, the casein hardens on them and
It is almost as difficult to remove as
when 1t is burned on by the use Of hot
water. II 1t is necessary to. let your
milk bottles stand for any length Of
time, It Is best to pour cold, or luke
warm water into them, which will pre-
vent the hardening and sticking Of the
albumen and casein. Then, when 1t be-
M time to wash them, lukewarm
water can be used followed by hot
water, boiling water or live steam.
BY this method, the bottles will be
clean, and all bacteria will be killed
BY the hot water.

St. Agnes Eve.

The feast Of St. Agnes was formerly
held as in a special degree a holiday
for women. 1t was thought possible
for a girl on the eve Of st. Agnes to
obtain by divination a knowledge OF
her future husband. She might take a
row Of pins and pluck them out, one
after another, stick them in her sleeve,
singing the while a paternoster, and in
this way insure that her dreams would
that night present the gentleman In
question.

Salt superstltlons

Superstitions concerning salt are
among the earliest known to mankind.
There 10 much evidence in holy writ
for the ceremonial uses Of 1t, and the
old Mosaic law commands that every
sacrifice Of = meat offering shall b
seasoned with It. Homer calls It d.
vine, and many Of the old Teuton
races looked OF salt springs as holy
and worshiped at them. The origin
Of this superstition seems to be that
since salt cannot corrupt 1t should be
regarded as a symbol Of Immortality,

ExpIalninu History Of Dress.

II one could only know the origin
Of all the many words we use in u
daily talk, one would know much OF
the history of dress. Many of u
most recently adopted clothes words
come. from France, but five hundred
years ago dress terms more usually
came from Italy, then the mecca of
fashion. Hence, velvet came from
"vclluto," the Italian word to indf-
cate shaggy. And "camesole," which
has recently heen revived from an
earlier English usage, came from the
Italian flimlnutive Of chemise.
