The St. Louis exposition is the
largest pocket edition of the world
ever before offered to the public.
The palace of Agriculture at the
St. Louis exposition is said to be
the largest building in the world.
It is about 100 rods long by 30 rods
wide. It contains eight or nine cor
riders each 1600 feet in length and
numerous transverse corriders. A
person can walk several miles in
this building without passing the
same exhibits twice.

Senator Fairbanks' paper, the
Indianapolis NewB, does not display
exuberant confidence over the situa
tion in Indiana. It says that while
the nomination of Mr. Fairbanks
will undoubtedly strengthen the tic
ket, at the same time the state may
be uncomfortably close for the re
publicans. The News finds that in
all probability the republicans will
be confronted by a united opposition
in that state. But that condition is
not confined to Indiana. Through
out the country the democrats are
getting into line with their old ardor
and a renewed and reasonable hope
of success. —Waverlv Democrat

Fish Dirt.
Fish is an excellent food either in
summer or winter. But the notion
that it specially "makes bruin" or is
particularly a "nerve food" is er
roneous.
It is true that it contains phos
phorus. But it does not contain it
in a free state. The notion that fish
contains excessive phosphorus- had.
no doubt its origin in the glowing
pliosphorecence of fish in "the dark.
This phosphorescence is due not to
phosphorus at all, but micro-organ
isms.
But fish offers the best of diet and
cannot be too highly recommended
both on account of its constituents
Sri3 its digestibility.—Boston Olobe.

Facts Ahoat Orange*.
(From tlw PhllKMpbl. Inqulrer.l
The riper an orangegets the more
yellow it becomes. A dealer's test for
a perfect orange is to press it as you
would a hard rubber ball. If you can
make a slight indentation by press
ing hard, but the pulp remains firm
enough to Tebouna, the orange is all
right.
Russet oranges are rich, liable to
spoil. When buying oranges by
the box (and this is the best plan
where you use a good many) get a
repacked box instead of an original
one. Thin-skinned, toight-oolored
oranges are the best.- Wialethe Cal
ifornia, Florida and Arizona, fruit
are altogether the best for eating out
of hand or on the table, the foreign
oranges Messina or Sicily, are con
sidered best for marmalade.
The Many-Slded Wife.
Why should a woman want to
hold more offices than she already
holds? Why
Bhould
Iowa,
she desire to
engage in other business than that
of a woman?
The woman who is a true wife
holds more offices and transacts
more business than any dozen men.
She is a financier. No statesmen
studies his bud/ closer than she.
She knows to! iient" the" revenues
and the expendi .ares of her house
hold. When she brings in a bill for
an appropriation, it usualfy passes
the house. Herexpenditures require
no auditing.
She is a ruler and a wise one.
She is a judge who sits impartial'
ly and whose findings are seldom re
versed. She is sometimes judge and
jury, and is judge of both the law
and the facts. And she is her own
officer of court to carry out her de
crees.
She is a capable designer. Given
a fashion plate and a few sugges
tions from a neighbor woman, she
designs if indeed she
doeB
not build
her own clothes and those of her
children, keeping an eye betime to
the architecture of the husband's
garments.
Viewed commercially, the average
wife is credit woman, correspondent,
buyer, bookkeeper and clerk. In
some instances she occasionally does
the work of porter or roustabout.
In a parliamentary sense, she is
chairman of the ways and means
committee. Her committee sits con
stantly, and frequently constitutes
itself a committee of the whole to
carry out its own report.
She is doctor lawyer, preacher
and-what is more important-teacher
of her brood. Her course of instruc
tion comprises both morals and man
ners. Her curriculum is a practical
one, adapted to the needs of the oc
casion.
But the greatest office, perhaps,
is that of queen, or helpmeet. She
co-operates with mind and heart in
all the hopes and plans of her king.
She shares his fears, divides his-res
ponsibilities and multiplies his joys.
Why should she desire more? Is
not the mere enumeration of some of
her many offices and businesses suf
ficient to cause her to inquire:
Who is suffident for these things?

Des Moines, July 29.—A. H. Kief
fer of Manchester, Iowa, assistant
state dairy commissioner, has writ
ten to the state dairy department,
giving an analysis of the Iowa but
ter which won first place alongside
of that of Minnesota at the St. Louis
fair recently. It was the second
score in which Iowa butter showed
up so well, the percentage for the
Hawkeye state having fallen very
low in the first score. Mr. Kieffer
says that thirty per cent of the Iowa
butter scored 95 and above, which he
calls a good record. He says in
commenting upon the butter ex
hibits from the state:
"It is with considerable pleasure
that I describe the butter as it show
ed up in St. Louis, owing to the fact
that about 30 per cent scored 95 and
above. This butter that scored 95
and above had a nice, clean, rich
flavor. The richer the flavor (lie
higher the score.
"The butter that scored from 93
to 95 was that what is termed gcod
butter, fairly clean in flavor and well
made. Some of it had a very slight
weedy or fishy flavor. In this class
there were quite a few packages that
scored 94 or 94| on account of over
salting. The butter had rather a
coarse flavor, on the briny order
which undoubtedly would have
scored higher had it not been over
salted. The butter that scored be
tween 90 and 93 per cent showed
unclean flavors, such as unclean
milk cans, unwashed separators, un
clean conditions on^he farfti or in
the creamery, over-ripe cream, over
ripe starters, also had.
what we term
summary flavor TSaWftujuiUtUns,
.etc., etc. There was a very small
per cent of butter below 90. If I
remember correctly, the secretary
said that there were only seventeen
packages. This butter showed over
ripe cream, heated conditions, ran
cidity and in fact was very poor.
'The butter in this test was quite
similar to the June test, which
speaks very well for the boys in the
contest, as anyone who is familiar
with the buttermaking business
knows that the week this butter was
made in is one of the most trying
weeks in the year, as it is the week
of-the Fourth of July. During that
week milk and cream usually come
to the creamery in the worst condi
tions because the hired help on the
farm usually take a day or two off
and the work generally falls upon
one man, who is liable to neglect
taking care of the milk and cream.
"The milk is also delivered irreg
ularly. The help in the creamery
quite often take a few days off at
this time and it is a most trying
•week for the buttermaker and I
think that all the boys who stayed in
the contest should be congratulated.
There were again a few more pack
ages which were mottled. A little
more working would have overcome
this defect. There were, however,
more 'packages of butter in a weak
body and somewhat on the greasy
order, which indicated that the
cream was churned at too high a
temperature, overchurned and also
overworked.
"Buttermakers must bear in mind
that when they skim a very heavy
cream this cream must be diluted to
a 25 or 30 per cent butter fat and
must be churned at a temperature of
50 degrees at this time of the year.
The richer the cream the colder the
same must be churned in order to
obtain butter of a good body. Again
I wish to state that practically all
the high scoring butter, that is, but
ter scoring 95 per cent and above,
was made out of good milk, the
cream
waB
ripened with a good com
mercial starter and the acid test was
used to determine the amount of
acidity in starter and cream. This
fine butter was made by the butter
.maker and the cream ripening was
controlled by him and not left to
favorable or unfavorable natural
conditions or changes."
Some men feel that they and their
wives are not in partnership and
that it is all right to grab from each
other. Some women, if they get
what is coming to tliein. havo to
grab it. It is peculiar how some
men treat their wives while both are
laboring make a livelihood. AVhile
on a visit recently I heard a fanner
say that he and his wife had entered
a co-partnership. His wife fed and
cared for the poultry and took all
the proceeds. He furnished the
feed. This is a very good kind of
co-partnership. So many parents
take their children into partnership
with them and they consume the
proceeds, while the sons and daugh
ters have the honor of being mem
bers of the firm.—Homestead.

THE LIGHT BRIGADE.
A Rnaalan Vint of tlic ni,lc Into the
Javrn of Urntk,
That tile charge of the Light brigade
seemed to onlookers piece of magnifi

conces of that day. First came the at
tack of the heavy brigade upon 3,000
Russian cavalry. Then later lu the day
the attempt to recapture seven guns
taken from the Turks by the Russians
In their first advance upon the re
doubts lel to the charge of the Light
brigade.
"When we saw the English coming
at us," says a Russian soldier, "there
was but one thought. 'What fools!' we
said. We never dreamed they would
charge.
Ivan Ivanovltch, a Russian survivor
of the day, says in his "Recollections:"
"We were so sorry for them. They
were fine soldiers and had such tine
horses. But the charge—it was the
maddest thing ever done. We could
not understand It. I had been in the
charge of the heavy brigade in the
morning and was wounded. We had
all unsaddled and were tired. Sudden
ly there was a cry, 'The English are
coming!"
"Our colonel was angry and ordered
the men to give no quarter.
"I was lying down, with my wound
bandaged, when I saw them coming.
We thought they were drunk from the
way they held their lances. Instead of
carrying them under their armpits they
waved them in the air. Of course they
were easier to guard against like that
"Those men were mad and never
seemed to think of the tremendous
numbers against them nor of the fear
ful slaughter that had taken place in
their ranks during that desperate ride.
Then they neared us and dashed in
among us, shouting, cheering and curs
ing. I never saw anything like it
They were irresistible, and our men
were quite demoralized"
GRANT'S SYMPATHY.
Ttlbate of at Southern Woman to the
aeaenil'a Kindly Nature.
The sympathetic side of General
Grant's nature, as every one knows,
was very strong. A few days after
the surrender of Vlcksbutfe a southern
lady hurried to bis quarters to ask for
information about ber husband, of
whose safety she had heard conflict
ing reports. Tho general replied that
he could not give her the information
she desired, but that tie would Bend
an orderly at once to find out tbo facts
for her. When tho man returned with
the hews that her husband was safe
the- southern woman's eyes filled with
tears of gratitude, white tears ot sym
pathy shorted on tbe cheeks of Gener
al' Grant.

years." As not even the .greatest sci

in 10,000,000 or 15,000,000 years bow
old Mother Earth is, it must be con
fessed that she keeps the secret of her
age quite as well as do her charming

oome to the conclusion that, like the
others, she Is "only as old as Bhe

On another occasion—it wits

given him when he was-makldg a tour
of the southern states ono was heard
expressing her gratitude to him for
past kindnesses. As he replied to her
two tears rolled slowly down his
cheeks.
For little children and old people
General Grant showed special sympa

those days remembered his way of
drawing them to him and impressing
a kiss on cheek or brow.
One old lady who afflicted ber
friends by her propensity for smok
ing was often tbe recipient of a good
-cigar from him. Tbe gift was fully
appreciated, as the general's stock was
always of the best. When he was til
in "Washington she sent him some wild
flowers "from the hills of Vicksburg,"
for which a letter of thanks was
promptly returned. Subsequently,
when slie visited Washington, she was
kindly received by tbe president, who,
to her delight presented her with some
more of his good cigars.—Helen Gray
