as aesthetic arranger of goods is
simply unsurpassable.

Treasurer Uantelon, who are located

their friends here stating they have
done a large amount of spring work.

they were engaged as Iridian scouts,
they say that theiteui was made out
of the wholfe cloth As they have not
seen an Indian for months, and
have not been away from the’farm.

to hear the lecture on “Respiratiou,”'
given by Dr. Campbell, assisted by
Mr. J, C?'. iratstone,' of jJm High
School, whe at intervals illustrated
the subject’with excellent chemical,
'expei’iuients,showing how important
it is for us that weTireathe tpuro air,
which can dnly.be obtained .by pay
ing heed to Nature’s laws. Tho cir
culation of the blood in, the I rings,-

were 'each in -turn’ discussed at

which it is simply impossiblo for us
to expect-to fliavd good health, for

“gentle spring” that the weather has
condescended to give us,

Butter Making.—It seems to be*
now ,conceded even by those who at
one time looked upon the creamery
system of better making as a scheme
of the enterprising few to make
•money at the expense of the many,
that such views were wrong. We
have taken some trbuble to investi
gate the ordinary domestic mode of,
making butter and oompare it with
the creamery system arid can come
to no other conclusion thari that the
creamery system, is the most profits
able tor-all concerned. It is the
most profitable to‘ the- owners of
cows ; most profitable to the retail
merchant; , most profitable to the
jobbing merchant whojiandles it in
quantities, and Hiost profitable to the
dousumer whether he butters one?or
both sides of his bread. It can
easily be demonstrated that the own
ers of a given-number of cows will
make more by selling cream to ,the
creamery during the season than by
having his family make it into butter
and giving their labor fbr-riot’bing.
This may seem st range,but a brief in-’
vestigation will fiiid it correct, . The
owner’qf a creamery properly man
aged with probably average 20 cents
a pound for all he makes,while dur
ing the sane season individual
make i's...w iUui ot^et/more.. t b a n_15.
cents. The uniformity in’ color
.and the greater excellence of quality,
accounts for the better price which
creamery brings. . No matter how
good butter is made by the farmer’s-
wife it '.will deteriorate, if soldin
small parcels to merchants, before it
can be packed. ? Th'e iireaniery own-
er is iio t ta k i n g tjie-pr-ofi-ts from-*th e
owners of .cows, afty niore than the
’’owrie^of a sawmill ,is taking the
profits of a man’s bush from him.
The owner of a saw.mill has iaiprovs
ed appliances and machinery for'
making luiiiberr^ He. buys ‘loys and
cuts tlitem into merchantable lumber
‘and makes money by Iris enterprise
and skill. The original, owner of the
'li>gs might 'have bis sons'help To
whipsaw,.by-hand, iind convert them
'into lui'nber. The lumber would
not be as uniform in thickness fete, as
the mill made lumber and would cost
; much more, in fact, if sold -at all the
home tn a h u factured I u m her,would ,pro
hably not. realize moi e than coubl
have been obtained-for the logs, and
the labor of whipsawing would be
• strfritich hard work lost. The labor
of tile*farmer’s faniily'in riiakjn'g

can be made usfe of is* just sro much
labor .thrown' away. The * retail

For the3 first time in many^years
.the ice shove in the river did riot
,.commence’',’’off"'a''lTu'riday. It com
menced on 'Saturday and its depar
ture from the old rule was a serioUB
disappoin tnien t to the many who prog
nosticated its break up on a Sunday
aS*usual. *0n?Saturday^at~5r3p/p‘,;W;*
the'ice, from the little Falls to the
mouth, began to moye, at 5.45 it had
entirely blocked the mouth of the
river, it being piled up about twenty
feethigh. The water then'rose ra
pidly and just before six it was within
two feet of the top of the break water. .
At this timeserious damagewVas an
ticipat ed to tlie large lumber piles,
and just when the wise- ones were
sure all the lumber would be washed
away the mouth of the river cleared,
•and mountains of river ipo passed at
fiery speed through,, the opening,
leaving a clear channel to the north,
the harbor side being, still solid.
When the water, was at its highest it
poured through the opening in tho
breakwater .on tq the R. R. track
forming numberless bea'utiful water
falls. On Sunday morning the break
water was crowded with persons in
tent on witnessing the shove on tho
south, side, but between twelve and
half past, nine-tenths of the sight
seers left for the mid-day meal.
Their departure seemed to have
moved lhe waters, for at twelve-forty
