MAKING GOOD BUTTER. ' _, The best kind of a churn to use ‘ in making good butter is a box or a barrel churn without any inside A churn should never be even oneâ€"third full will bring better and quicker results, writes Dennis H. _ Stove/ll. Churning is the process, so V chemists tell us, of uniting the fat globules into visible masses of but- ter, and thus union is produced by concussion, or the striking of the fat globules against one another. From this one can see that the less cream there is in the churcn the greater the concussion for each revoâ€" lution. If there is more than enough cream' to fill the churn half full, it is better to divide it into two lots, as both time and butter fat will be saved by so doing. The churning should continue " iiixtures. wncat.

During the last century this Britâ€" !ish breed of swine has been the subâ€" !ject of high breeding and careful se- lection. ll’riting in 1.790, Lawrence describes the Berkshire as being §"long and crooked in snout, muzzle turning upwards, ears large and heavy and inclined to be pendulous, the body long and thick but not deep, legs short, bone large and great size.” In “The Complete Crazier,” writ- ten in 1805, the Berkshire of that time is described as follows: "Colo; reddish brown, with brown or black spots, sides very broad, flat legs, cars large and pendulous over eyes, body thick, close and well made.” The modern type of this breed reflects many changes from the old, as it repâ€" resents a hog that is black in color .with white on the face, feet and tip 'of tail. They are not such a large hog as those of the original stock, as they are long in type, trim with- out undue roughness over the shoul- der or prominence of hips. The 'face is short and .dished, the ears short, ipointed and erect, jaws full, back Ebroad and ‘straight, full over the ishoulder, the loin thick and level and the hams especially full with short, strong and straight legs. | { Straightness in lines and trimness and smoothness over all parts are leading Berkshire characteristics and these should be strongly in eviâ€" 1'dence .along the back and especially from the heck backward as the hind quarter should come out Square to the tail and be full.

Late Alexander of Russia. Some Fun. A young protege of Count Nesselâ€" rode, a. sailor, who did not know the Russian emperor by sight, had been Liked sent with important despatches to Vienna, Where Alexander of Russia Was staying. Alexander enjoyed Wandering about the streets there as well as in his own capital, and one morning his Majesty, dressed in a simple military greatcoat, noticed on leaving the palace a young naval of- ficer apparently trying to find his way, and examining the entrance of the imperial residence, totally at a loss how to set his helm. The story is teld in “Anecdotal Recollections of the Congress of Vienna” by Comte “dc la Gardeâ€"Chambonas. “You seem to be looking for someâ€" thing,” said the emperor. "’l'hat’s true,” answered the sailor. "I have a despatch to remit personâ€" ally to the Emperor of Russia. They told me to go to the Burg, and here I am; but as I am a stranger in Vienna, I haven’t a soul either to guide or to introduce me.” Alexander Was delighted with the frank and open face of the young man, and thought he would keep up his incognito a little longer. "You’ll not find the emperor now,” he- Said. “He’s not .at the palace, but at two o’clock he is sure to reâ€" ceive you.” The conversation went on in the same amicable and familiar tone, the Czar interrogating the officer on his family, his career and his prospects. The young fellow told him that, hav- ing entered the service when he was very young, he had never been to court, and had never seen his sover- eign. Finally, after half an hour’s walk, Alexander turning to the young “Salt,” said in an affectionate tone. -“You can give me your letter, sir. I am Alexander." “That's a clever joke,” replied the other, laughingly, "but you don’t expect me to believe it." , "You may believe it or not, I am the Emperor of Russia.” "I dare say, just as I am the Em- peror of China." Alexander, getting thoroughly amused, decided to continue it. In a short time they reached the fortifiâ€" cations, and Alexander espied the King of Prussia coming toward him. “l‘o you speak German?” he asked his companion. "Not a word,” replied the other. Immediately Alexander took a few steps in front of him and spoke a few words‘in German to Frederick Wil- liam; then he came back to the young sailor and took him by the hand. “l'lere is an excellent opportunity of presenting you to the King of Prussia," he remarked. “.E.»i.e, an ofiiccr of my fleet, whom I have the honor to present to your majesty." "We are getting on rapidly,” said the young follow. “This gentleman is the King of Prussia, you are the Emperor of Russia, .and I am the Emâ€" peror of China. Three sovereigns.” Scarecly had they reached the ram- parts when the crowd began to surâ€" round the two monarchs with their accustomed marks of deference. Mon- sieur do Richelieu advaiwed, hat in hand, and addressed Alexander as “Your Majesty" The young ofiiccr rero nixed him at once, and per- ceived instantly that he had been the victim of a royal mystiiication. He was. however, soon reassured-by the kindly look of Alexander, and he promptly delivered his despatches to him. The emperor took them with a gracious and significant smile, and after inviting the young sailor to dine with him that day, dismissed him with the most kindly gestures. HM DR.

M The Dime Novel- Hero Easily Out- done in Abyssinia. Alfred Hg is a Swiss of scientific attainments who has made a reputa- tion as an explorer of Abyssinia. He is also high in the confidence of'King Menelik and for several years has been one of his advisers. He is now on furlough in Switzerland, Where he has told a. remarkable story to the Swiss newspapers. He says that the young sons of a certain clan, widely scattered over abyssinia, have developed a mysteri~ ous faculty for the detection of crim- inals.

Mr. 11g gives three illustrations of this unusual method of detecting criminals. A house was burned by an incendi- ary. The lebacha, 12 years old, was taken to the ruins and after thc'preâ€" liminary mumerics he ran out into the country for six hours at so rapid a pace that only a few of his at- tendants could keep up with him. Then he turned 011‘ the road and inâ€" to a field where a fellah was at work. The man was accused of the crime, and though he denied it he was utter- ly unable to prove an alibi, and'finâ€" ally confessed that he was the crimv inal. l The couriers of the King were travâ€"‘ elling on foot from Harrar to Ail-dis Ababa, the capital, when they were joined one evening by a stranger who killed them as they were sleeping, bleedingsnd protrudin piles. who manufacturers have guaranteed it... _ cc res: linonials in the daily press aqd ask your neigh- tors what they think crit.

King Menelik was sceptical of the detective ability of these boys and decided to make a test of their powcrs. He improved a favorable moment to abstract a jewel from the raiment the Queen was wearing. It was not long before she nus.le the article and a great. hue and cry was ruined over the theft; of one of the Queen's jewels. ‘Meiielik ordered a lebacha to be summoned.
