He said that in the manufacture of hutterine and oleo margarine no chemical change takes place, but simply a mechanical mixture, and that all the substances used in the mixture have the same properties after tke mlxt ure as before, so that the lard, fat, and , oils m- used m n,. the bogus butter are no more injurious to health in the bogus ' butter " than *’ out of it.

LEAP TEAR NOTES. The first loop of a marriage knot is 8 beau knot. Girls, this is the year for you. When you give a young man slippers, give him fits. From the combinations of leap year and a cold winter most every girl has chaps on her hands. Happiness. A curtained, warmed room; a little, little light: one chair; two lovers; night, and a disabled clock. “Don’t give me away ” is a very com¬ mon expression, yet yon won’t find one girl in a hundred who is bold enough to say that to her pap. A woman says that very few men have the slightest idea how to hold a baby. No, not until it gets to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. Benjamin Franklin said, “He who takes a wife takes care. ” We think that Benjamin was slightly mistaken, and that he who takes a wife is more likely to lose hair. A GLORIOUS VICTORY.
