KEEPING BUTTER

To the woman who can’t afford to have an lce-ciiest the keeping ot butter is a very serious consideration. Here is a good idea. Choose a soup-plate into which you can put a saucer upside down. On the saucer put the butter in tho butter-paper in which it is bought. Put cold water in the soupplate, but not sufficient to cover the saucer. Rinse a piece of rag ou( of cold water, put it over the butter, with its edges in tho water. Put the whole tiling in a cool place where there is a draught—bv a wire-netted window if possible. Keep two cloths; wash one daily in cold water, and dry in sunshine. Rutter kept in this wav is firm, f and never lose its sweet flavour. Be careful never to let the hare butter come in contact with the cloth; when you cut some off wrap tiie rest carefully in the paper before replacing the cloth. Keep two lags going, wash well and boil occasionally..

ARMS AND THE MAN ; A lawyer was defending a man..accused of housebreaking, and said to the eourt “Your Honour. 1 submit that toy client did not break into the house at all. He found the parlour window open, and merely inserted his right arm and renjovetl a few trifling articles. Now, my client’s arm is not himself, a'ittf 1 fail to see how you can punuh the whole individual for an offence Committed by only one of his limb*." “That argument." said the judge, "is very well put. Following it logically, { sentence the defendant’s arm to one year's imprisonment. He can accompany it or not, as he chooses." 1 The defendant smiled, and with his lawyer's assistance, unscrewed his cork arm, and. leaving it in the deck, walked out.
