the death of the Q een, Mr.Read spoke of the divine purpose evidently manifest in her accession of the throne and the unfolding of that purpose during the period of her long and beneficent reign, referring particularly to her late Maujesty\u2019s exemplary Christian faith, domestic virtues, and the purity of the court life so strongly in contrast to the profligacy of the court of the Hanovers.In cloting he mentioned two strongly marked characteristics of the Queen as Sovereign\u2014her intimate knowledge of and adherence to the constitution and her utter abhorence of war.Prayer was offered by the Rev.J.Edward Starr.In the evening at the Congregational Church a large portrait of the Queen draped with the British flag and a band of black, occupied a position in front of the pulpit, which was also covered with the flag kindly loaned by Mayor Kathan for the occasion.The organ was also decorated with British and American flags, the work being done by Mrs.F.T.Caswell and Miss Esther Butterfield with exceedingly good taste.The opening service was conducted by the pastor of the church assisted by the Rev.E.E.Marggraf, who read the scripture lesson.The Rev.J.E.Starr, who had been severely indisposed for the past two weeks, was well enough to be present and deliver the memorial address based on Proverbs 31: 30, \u201cA woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.\u201d The address dealt with its illustrious subject as woman and Queen, and the paeacher set forth her late Majesty\u2019s virtues as the secret of her mighty influence over an ever increasing empire and over foreign courts.The world would only come gradually to realize how much it owed to the gracious personality of her who for sixty-three years sought to exemplify in her own conduct the teaching she accepted from her Lord and Saviour.The service concluded with the singing of the glorious hymn of William H.How: For all the saints.who from their Jabors rest, Who There by faith before the world confess'd, I'hy name, and Jesus, be for ever blest, Hallelujah.But lo, there breaks a yet more glorious day : \"Dhe saints triuamphant rise in light array : The King of Glory

is trapped at ap clevation of from 6,000 to 16,000 feet by the Imcbas avd Amanas, who trade In tha furs.\u201cFormerly the animals were smoked or ferreted out of their holes and in some cases caught with dogs, This was very Injurious to the skins, however, and they are now generally trapped in the nighttime by the Indians.They are very wild, anil a considerable amount of skill is necessary in capturing them.Each tribe puts its stock at the disposal of its chief, who sells the skins.I have known one tribe to ae cuntulate as high as $80.000 worth of the skins at one time and dispose of them at one sale, dividing the money acquired among the tribesmen.\u201cYou ask me if 1 have ever expert enced any trouble with the natives.1 bave been very fortunate as a general rule with them, for if

religious festival in an old church in the Andes.The Indians, you know, are very religious and have orig- {nal ways of showing It.At this festival they came from Brazil, Argentina and Bolivia.In front of the church for about 100 yards extended a stone pathway.The stones were small fo size änd very pointed, making walk- fug op them very laborious, and when 1 tell you that each Indlan had to get on his hands and knees and crawl all the way to the church you can appreciate the fervid fanaticism that marks their devotion.On this occasion the stones of the walk were covered with blond.After they

A chunge in cleaning the churn is partly responsible for this, Years ago it was taught that tbe churn should be! washed with tepid water, then with bot water, after the butter was remov- © ed.Now it is koown that cold waier should not be put into a churn after it is scalded out at tlie elise of the day's work.The finish must be wich! hot water.scalding water.steam or something in 3 that line.\"Fhe vensou is that if it is left scalding hot it will quickly dry.and, as the =ealding kils any germs.it will not get covercd with semin or mold or get musty, pro-' vided it dries right away.but, if cold water is put in last, the churn becomes dank and musty and unfit for receiv ing cream.Running a finger around the inside of a creamery churn washed last with cold water will tell a tale when the finger Is examined, even to a blind man, if he has à good working smelling apparatus.Improvement of the Herd, A most instructive illustration of the advantage to be derived from \u201cbreeding with a purpose\u201d is afforded Ly the milk records of the herd of dairy cows kept in connection with Cornell univer sity.Starting close on 30 years ago | with a herd of about 20 cows, which were only capable of producing an average of about in the year, an effort was made to so and select these animals and \"their progeny as to improve their milk |A beginning was made 1 producing capacities from year to year.3y using bulls \u201cof well known milking strains, and lit- tle by little the milking capabilities of | the cows were steadily improved until at the present time the record of the: twenty odd cows kept in the herd, afl | of them descendants of the original 20 which only averaged 2.400 pounds of : milk, works out to close on 6400: pounds per annum.All this was ae- complished by the combined results of crossing with bulls of good milking strains and the careful selection for i breeding purposes of animals whose dams had specially distinguished themselves as milkers.What has been done here is capable of achievement by every farmer who lays his mind down to that end and operates accordingly.Instead of selling off the calves produced by their best milker, they should make a special point of retaining these in thelr own herds and mating them with purchased bulls of a good milking strain.Working upon these lines the milk records of nine out of every ten herds in the country could be Improved by thousands of pounds anuually.Butter Incrensers, A number of the so called \u201cbutter In- creasers and butter compounds\u201d have been tried at the Iowa Agricultural college creamery and the Lutter made was analyzed and examined for market value.These substances, when used according to directions, did produce a large amount of a substance somewhat resembling butter.A chemical analy- sls of this substance showed it contained pearly 50 per cent of water.At the ordinary room temperature it would become soft and greasy in a few minutes after being removed from the refrigerator.An examination of this butter showed it was wholly unfit for market purposes on account of this soft, greasy condition and bad flavor.Bul letin No.52 gives the results of this investigation and will be sent on application to Director C.F, Curtis, Ames, Ia.Water In Butter.\u2018The Iowa experiment station has been making a series of interesting experiments concerning the absorption of water in butter which are reported in bulletin 52.The greatest amount of water was found in the butter when the churnin_ temperature was low (52 legrees) ani the wash water warm (70 degrees).The: least amount of water was found where the tempera: sure was 71 degrees at churning and the wash water was 40 degrees, the granules in both cases being the size of bird shot.The principle shown by these experiments have proved effect Ive In practice, as shown by the results vf analizing butter made by the college creamery for the English market, when it was desired to make butter

system of farming cannot be a success for any length of time, No matter how rich the soil\u2019 may be, it will soon becowe exhausted in certain elements when enly a single crop Is grown year after year.Dalrying Is the foundation if successful diversified agriculture.Tue feediug and care of the animals take but a little time each day and do tot Interfere with other work.In ascertaining the profits of dairy- fag the fertilizing value of the manure thould De taken Into consideration.Barnyard tuanure makes the cheapest and best general fertilizer, and no land can be brought into a high state of fertility without it.It would pay to keep a few cows oh every tar even though no profit resulted from the sale of milk and butter.Crops grown on land to which barnyard manure has been applied suffer much Jess during a dry season from a lack of woisture than would otherwise be the case.Cotton growing is essentially a one crop system in which the Certility of the sof! is lessened ene year, The advantages of cotton growing lie in the fact that the crop ean be easily raised and it can always be sold at some price.At the prices which prevailed during the past elght years, the majority of the cotton growers of Georgia Lave not made their living expenses.With , the inereared cotton acreage of foreign ; countries, espeeiaiiy Egypt.the future price of cotton is quite apt to be as low as at any time IN the past.The price (wi Hl doubtless vary from year to year, cus heretefore, depending upon the | world's visible suoply, but it is safe to say that the average price for any series of years will be 5 cents per pound or less.Dairying, on the other haud, t8 the foundation of diversifiod farming, a sys- | tens wherein the farmer is not depend- \u201cent upon any one crop for his living.There is always a market for good bur.ters and.where the dairy farmer grows i the feed for bis eattle, the butter will not cost one half what it can he sold for.The butter also briugs a eush price and st all times of the year, This I enables the dairy farmer to pay cash for his supplies and he is enabled ito get them cheaper than otherwise.mosi important of all, the dairy armer is constantly enriching bis land, and as the fertility of the soil increases from year te year, more crops.better crops, and cheap crops are produced.This leads to the use of improved farm touts and better farm buildings.Raisinæ Cnives.It is something of à task for even one | who has had considerable experience {to seloet a calf that will make a good | dairy cow.We should be shy of one that was

extremes to ba avoided, if feeding so as to favor the increase of fat, or so deficient a food in amount or quality ag to check its growth.Good early cut hay and a little bran or oats every day during the winter is the best treatment and a few roots and a little ensilage are the cheapest feeds because they produce the best results.Then a warw and comfortable stable, and no exposure to cold storms,

Cultivator.Oleo and Process Butter, It Is asserted that the renovated or process butter can be readily and surely detected by placing a small piece on a glass plate and pressing it to a thin film with a cover glass, It gives out a mottled appearance of blue and yellow under a microscope with a selenite plate, while with butter freshly made there was only a plain blue appearance.The yellow appearance was due to fat crystals formed by heating and cooling during the renovating process.Normal butter has no crystals.Oleomargarine shows the crystallized appearance even more plainly than the renovated but ter, which Is due to the lard and tallow In It.as those substances crystallize vastly.Out of over 250 samples of nlleged butter tested In this way AS rhowed signs by crystallization of

This commentary called forth a question as te the weaning of the \u201cknife instinet.\u201d Tle ordinary man in a civilized community, the professor explained, is so familiar with (he knife aud its

condition of the Se- ris ns regards bloodthirst, Professor Ma- gee says that it still vemnins very des plorable, amd the visitor must be not only prepared, but visibly prepared, for trouble at any hour of the day or night.The one question on which the Soris\u2019.treatment of him hangs is that of op | portunity.It makes no difference; whether he be a Cavensian, or a mixed Llood, a Yankee or a Mexican, or even a member of another tribe of Indians.: The sole consideration Is that he Is an alien wherever or whenever found, 1f the alien is well equipped with means! of protection, so that it is

is really his safest time, for by doing careful wateh duty by turns a party of visitors can avert attack, hut in the daylight there is apt to be a perilous sense of security.and it is then that it behooves every alien to be individually on his guard.The Seris seem to have none of the sense of hospitality or honot which marks many Indiaus of a higher type, They lave some notion of loyal; ty to each other, but the rest of the world is always fair game.Another thing differentiates tbe Seris from the Indinn tribes conventionally familiar to newspaper readers\u2014nane- iy.thelr treatment of

eyes for n long time upon near objects must of necessity weary the muscles that adjust the eye to vi- slon, Lut if the weariness Is compen sated for by rest at proper Intervals there will be no harm done to the eyes,\u2019 for they are so constructed that they can bear maximum fatigue ns well ns other parts of the body.Lducation would cease, all mechanical work would soon have an end, if the eyes of school children and of certain kinds of workmen were never tired.Eyes are never overworked, even if they feel very tired when the task Is done, if their natural power and freshuess return after the proper intervals of rest during the day and sleep at night \u2014 Popular Science.Altitudex Renched by Balloonints.| | i During the Paris exposition a large [number of balloon ascenslons were made,

about eight o\u2019clock on the evening of the 23rd inst.in the premises of M.Saxe & Sons, wholesale clothing manufacturers, corner of St.Peter and Lemoine streets, did damage roughly estimated at about two and a half millions, before it could be gotten under control the following morning at one o'clock.The block bounded by St.Sacrament, St.Peter, St.Paul, and St.Nicholas streets, was swept clean.Included in this block was the splendid Board of Trade building, erected in 1894, at a cost, building and site, of $605,000.Thursday morning there was nothing left standing but the walls, St.Peter street, between Lemoine and St.Paul streets, was swept clean.The Hames jumped across St.Paul street and burned a hole through to Commissioners street.Good work by the brigade saved John Lovell & Sons\u2019 printing establishment, on St.Nicholas street, and the buildings on the North side of St.Sacrament street.It was a particularly difficult fire to fight.Outside of the Board of Trade building all the structures burned were of antiquated construction, added to this were the narrow streets and immense crowds of people which greatly hampered the work of the firemen.The fire spread with lightning-like rapidity, aided by the inflammable nature of the stocks contained in the premises burned.Thousands and thousands of people thronged the immediate neighborhood to the no small inconvenience, be it said, of the fire brigade.Thousands more gazed on the scene from the upper town, The fire which drew erowds on the Friday night previous, was a doll\u2019s affair when compared with the mighty monster flame that heathed and writhed and bellowed forth its infernal sighs from the vast cauldron of fire swept area, constituting several acres of the most valuable property in Montreal.Fortunately there was no strong wind, for which circumstance there ought to be profound congratulation.Another matter for which thankfulness is due is, that so far as known at present, no serious accidents occurred to individuals, though the chances were so many.The Board of Trade have decided to locate for a time in the old Corn Exchange building.COATICOOK.Rev,

Methodist Church under the auspices of the Epworth League, \u2018An Evening with Mendelssohn,\u201d was very good.Instead of refreshments at the close of the concert as adver- \u2018tised, Principal Ford gave a short address.Memorial services for our late Sovereign, Queen Victoria, will be held at the Methodist Church on Saturday, February 2nd, commencing at 10.30 AM,, and all the stores will be closed until 1 o\u2019clock P.M.Last Wednesday evening, the 23rd inst., a meeting was held at the call of H.Lovell, M.P., to consider the question of a new academy building, and the propriety of borrowing some $12,- 000 to&15,000 to pay for the same.After considerable talk, some wise and some otherwise, the house was divided, showing a majority in favor of building new.Many of our people believe that the present building, fully as large as the proposed new building, and all sound and well located, remodeled with all improvements for heating and ventilation at a cost of some $3000 would meet the needs of | the people quite as well as a new building, and would save giving to those coming after us the burden of a heavy debt, which instead of standing as a monument to the honor of those of the commissioners who are so determined to build new, might possibly be looked upon as a monument of their folly and a needless expenditure of money.Postmaster Trenholm is very sick and under the care of Dr.G.Tren- holm.Quite a heavy fall of snow on Sunday, and with the wind of Monday afternoon the roads are considerably drifted.Tt is said that the election of M.B.Lovell is to be contested and that the papers have been served.AYER'S FLAT.A memorial service will be held in the Union Church on Sunday next in honor of our late lamented Queen.Music suitable for the occasion will be

affirmative answer to my queries.Everyone who thinks that material prosperity is an evidence of Divine favor will answer no to my first query, but if it can bo proved that the British race is doteriorating under the accumulation of wealth, the first couplet of the poot will be verified, It is not.n pleasant thing to Jeontamplate tho decadence of a noble breed of men, but in what possible way can you explain the war in South Afriea if the British race has not deteriorated?When in the history of the British nation has it required four trained British soldiers (o hold their own against

year Upon army And navy, ul distribute it judiciously in the interests of peace, and the results would certainly be as satisfactory as they are under her present mothods.Maintaining an army and navy

first essential in the making of n great nation is the creating and the maintaining of a prosperous agricultural community.As long as the British farmer prospered, the foundations of the United Kingdom were secure.But when the nation decided that trade and commerce were of more account than ita agriculture, then the nation | prepared itself for the punishment it is receiving in South Africa,

have ever been made.It contained about 2,000 samples.repre- | senting every type and grade of tobacco produced in the United States.It took the grand prize, nine gold medals, \u2018 five silver medals and Lonorable men- ; tion for many of the exhibitors.Two significant facts were brought out in the jury of awards.The Florida grown Sumatra leaf was found to require 25 | More leaves to the pound of a given | grade than the samples exhibited from | the island of Sumatra.It received 20 points of excellence against 18 for the Sumatra and was pronounced by the Jury to be perfect.The bright yellow tobacco of Virginia and North Carolina was awarded 18 points of merit out of a possible 20, or the same as given to the Turkish tobacco, which ft resem- | bles in many points and with which it | most closely competes.While it was admitted that the Turkish tobacco had a more desirable aroma, the North Carolina product, besides closely approximating this, bas a larger leaf, | which can be used for wrappers as well as for fillers for all tobacco cigarettes and plug.It costs much less to produce and is altogether more of a general purpose tobacco and is therefore more desirable.Foreign countries are appre clating this fact.Handy Helps In Butchering, To clean and carry a hog with ease use a short ladder (about six feet long will doy and place legs about a foot long under ench end.Place a
