delicious flavour butter should be stored in a cool dry place away from and foods which have a distinct odour or flavour as it read ily absorbs foreign flavours it should be kept in a covered container or left in the parchment paper hi which it is purchased the best place to keep butter is in the refrigerator if one is not avail able the butter should be stored in as cool a place as possible butter melts quickly at high temperature and dur ing the hot weather in the absence of a refrigerator the suggestion is given to tie a cord securely around each print of wrapped butter to keep the wrapper in place then put the prints in a crock or other container and cov er with a plate weighted down with a stone or a brick the next step is to make a brine of- salt and water used in the prop of 2 cups salt to 1 gallon of boiling water cover the but ter with the cold brine and place the crock in a cool room add more brine if necessary from time to time- to keep the butter covered with the salt solution another suggestion for stor ing a few prints of butter for a short time is to wrap the papercovered prints in cloths wrung out of a salt and water solution and keep the but ter in a cool place butter may also be stored satisfactorily by packing it in a wellscalded crock or jar cover ing the butter with a clean white cloth wrung out of boiling water then spreading a v- layer of salt over the cloth attracts huge crowds each year to an american the derby means the famous horse race run every year m kentucky- bat even in the blue grass country the dar by means a greater event which has attracted thousands of racing fans to epsom downs england for a century and a half it would take a philologist to explain why the english pronounce it darby but its tremendous popularity needs no explanation for the english derby is much more than a mere sports event it is also a picnic a carni val and a county fair all rolled into one half a million holiday makers come together eafch spring not so much to see the fleet three-year- olds since hordes of darby fans never see the horses at all but to buy and sen and to enjoy the fun which gypsy fortunetellers side shows and refreshment stands pre vide most of england seems to turn out for the race including usually the king and queen hundreds of landed gentry and thousands of or dinary british families it is a festive day for the children as much as for their parents epsom downs is only 14 miles from the heart- of iondon and the great city is quiet and nearly deserted on a derby morning lawyers doctors bank ers and business men forget their work and their worries for a day and almost everyone even respec table curates and dignified old la dies places a small bet on one of the horses just for the sport of it when the race is over the winner is proudly led by its owner before the grandstand and sometimes this provides a rare thrill as in 1909 when the horse who won was owned by king edward himself

chudrenwere likely to think that their own country was a rather warlike nation because so much space in the history books was devoted to wars actually canada has had an unusually peaceful history with the exception of three years in the nine teenth century and four years in the twentieth century canadas wars have in a sense been interruptions our real history has been in pioneei settlements construction of roads railways and canals the establishing of great institutions of law govern ment education co finance and religion industry and science are so much more constructive than mili

moloch a god of war butchery and isaiah thril led by a vision of the holiness of god men and women are still seeking a fuller knowledge of god real know ledge comes through nature history science and

jehoshaphats day when only a few people could read or write to teach them it was necessary to keep the book of the law throughout all the clues with teachers trained to helj the people to memorise

radio they then talked about cameras radios motorcars aeroplanes and submarines with a de tailed technical knowledge that was surprising at their age the minister had been interested chiefly in horses
