It Was. First Issued by Count de Ten- dilla at Alhambra. The Count de Tendilla. while besieg- ed by the Moors in the fortress of Al- hambra. was destitute of gold and sil- ver wherewith to pay his soldiers. who began to murmur. as they had not the means at purchasing the necessaries of life from the people of the town. "In this dilemma." says the historian. "what does this most sagacious com. mander? He takes a number of little morsels of paper on which he inscribes various sums. large and small. and signs them with his own hand and name. These did he give to the sol- diery in earnest or their pay. “How. you will say. ‘are soldiers to be paid with scraps of paper?‘ Even so. and well said. too. as I will presently make manifest. for the good count issued a proclamation ordering the inhabitants to take these morsels of paper for the full amount inscribed. promising to re deem them at a future time with gold and silver. Thus by subtle and most miraculous alchemy did this cavalier turn worthless paper into precious gold and silver and make his late impover ished army abound in money.“ The historian adds. "The Count do Tendilla redeemed his promises like a loyal knight. and this miracle. as it ap. peared In the eyes of the worthv Aga plda. is the first instance on record of paper money."

The young fellow twisted his cap in his hands and thought up a few more details. “How do you say you proceed to get up steam '2" “And then?" rasped the examiner once more. parsing his lips and looking as if something important had been missed. The cadet did the best he could, slyly adding such details as that he would shut the furnace doors after putting the coal in. The moment he stopped the same old question burst out: "And then?” “And then,” repeated the cadet slow- ly. raising his cap to his breast and gazing at the ceiling, "and then I should look up to heaven and think 1 am ready to go home if the boiler front comes out.”â€"New York Sun.

A number of well known book lovers in France and Belgium received a catalogue of a li- brary to be sold at Binche. a small town near Mons. There were only 252 items in the catalogue. but all these were unique examples, for. it was an- nounced. “the late owner. M. de Fort.- sas, would destroy any book in his collection it he ascertained that anoth- er copy existed."

Egremium 0f the Year The regular meeting of the Glenelg Centre Farmer‘s Club was held on the 191,1). uf February in the Township Hail With the President in the chair. Snme ta k at co-operative ordering of s... d e m: stud grass seeds was indulged in. it was decided to get up an order fur seed cum and to take orders at the nexu meeting so that the best corn might. he had from the groweus. It Wm also decided to give some of the limit! dealers a chance to figure on gms~ seed prices. The topic of the evening was taken by Tnos. H. Binnie who explained the paper handling of milk and cream to make lhe hesll butter. He traced the milk from its secretion in the udder to the finisne-d pxoduct as butter. It was at. one time believed that milk was l'ilteied from the blood but as there is no milk in the blood the milk must be manufactured from the blood. As the udder is not large enough to contain all the milk a cow gives this milk must be manufactured during the milking pI‘OCBSo. Cleanliness is the great secret of huttermaking. Bad flavors are large- ly due to bacteria that gain access to the milk. These germs cause almost all the flavors that. go to make bad butter. The cnw’s flanks must be kept clean and dust must be bept out of the stable during milking. Strain the milk through two ply of cheese cloth and separate to keep the cream in as good cnnditiou as possible. Nev- er mif the new cream with the old un- til the new cream has been thoroughly cooled. Before chm ning the cream should be warmed to churning tem- perature and if possible held at. that temperatu re over night. This will en- able the operator to churn at a lower temperature than if the cream were heated the morning it was churned. Color-and salt the butter to suit the customer but do not use too much of either. If your butter is none too good. a flavor add a little extra salt to hill the flavor. mark it when fresh and as neatly as possible. Songs were rendered by Messrs Jno. O’Neill. Lloyd Skilton. the.
