—A Western lady gives her experience
with black papain as follows: While not
an old butter-maker, I hav* had some ex-
perience in that line from my youth up. A
friend recently informed me that black
pepsin would greatly increase the yield of
butter, And I bad oar druggist order some.
My friend was very sanguine of success
and invited tue to see the marvelous re
aults. She chnrned two gallons of cream
in the usual way and bad 4 pounds and 3
ounces of butter. She then churned 2 gal
lons with black pepsin, but only bad 4
pounds and 7 ounces of butter. She at
once pronounced the receipe a hnmbng, i
noticed that the milk <u« lull of small
particles of butter not gathered, and called
ber attention to it, but sbe claimed that
the had followed the directions to tbe let
ter and as the result was not wbat she ex
pected, and it was a failure. I asked ber
to let me take some pepsin home, and tbe
next da; 1 chnrned, but the result was tbe
acme as with my friend—no increane in but
ter, but the richest buttermilk I ever saw.
Tbe next day I chnrned more slowly, and
was rewarded by a decided increase of but
ter. The following da} I let tbe cream
get very thick, chnrned slowly after it be
gan to break, and had 6 pounds 13 ounces
nioe butter from tco gallons cream. Two
gallons chanted tbe old way made only 4
pounds and 3 ounces batter. I have
used black pepsin ever since with
complete success. A teaspoonfal of black
pepsin to each gallon of cream will com
bine in th« form of batter all the cheese,
batter ani sugar that milk contains, and
yon will have more than twice aa much
good butter. Over half tbe beatbfnl solids
in milk i« thrown away in buttermilk by
ttM old way of tbanuog.

Two Clarion Co. oil well drillers, who
, were drilling a weli in Japau la.«t summer
| and fall, registered at a Pitt-burg hotel
! the other day. One of them, T. J. Stewart
! of HimersLurg. speaking of his exptrienc. -
s»id: "Oil ha« b.»en known to ex- -t iu
Japan for 1.200. years, but well- have
| never been drilled on the American prinei
} pal nutil recently. Shafts have been sunk
' to the depth of GOO feet, but they are too
exper.-ivp. Tne oil can be notic-d fluting
on the water near the shore The Japan
Sea is lined u ith bluff: that rise up
about 400 feet from the water-line. The
little town is between the chits and the
sea. To save the ground, which is valu
able, we went, out from the shore about
50*) feet to drill the walls We built >:
walk, and the machinery is pla< ed ou a
foundation erected ii, 6 f-et >•{ water. We
bad one well that produced 150 barrels par
day, and now is doing 10 barrels The
company is satisfied with the results The
privileges must be secured from the Gov
ernment ar.d tho fisherman who -e domain
we invaded. The right to drill was not
hard to secure. The Government passed a
law also that no boiler or engine should be
permitted within 400 feet of the town for
fear of fire, and this is another reason why
we drilled so far out in the water. The
the people along the .-hore live by fishing
end tt ey catch the finest fish I ever saw.
They are now preparing a fish exhibit for
the World's Fair, and they take great
pride in the work.
The better class of Japs are very ir.teili-,
gent, but not much can lie said in favor on
the coolies, who are poor and ignorant.
The Japanese aro fond of Americans and
Europeans, but they bare tho Chinese
wors • than snakes i<i thei r boots. The
Japanese standing army is very large.
The Government is alraid of China and
Russia, hut I don't think ihat England and
America would permit either nation to en
croach on Japan. Tne num>er ol troupa
stationed at Tokio alone is as large as our
army
On his way home Mr Stewart said he
stopped for a day in Honolulu Ho
could'nt see Muuna Loa, tho volcano that
has been threatening to erupt lately, but
he noticed tb« smoke rising fr.nu the crater
behind the hills. Tho people did not ap

A Pittsburg paper of Tuesday said: Not
for years has tne Pittsburg produce market
been so badly handicapped by the cold
weather as it is at present. Commission
merchants report that their supplies of
potatoes, cabbage, apples and other peri-h
--able goods Hte now about exhausted
Prices are higher than they have been in
>ears. Monday the Grocers' Supply Com
pany received a consignment of several
cars of pt nshable goods, in cars furnished
with beating apparatus, hut before the
staff could bo put into the warehouse it
was froz-n. All sbinuients have been
ordered off for the present.
Perhaps the most inconvenience has
been caused by the scarcity of fresh eggs
The market was bar.i of them Monday, al
though some ol the dealers were selling
cold storage stock as fresh at 3G cents a
doien. Fre-h stock woald bring at least
40. At some oi the restaurants about
to»n signs have been put up, announcing
the price of eggs served in any style at 5
cents each.
In the grain, flour and feed market a
.-iuiilar state of affairs is reported. Coun
try dealers cannot get the larmers to bring
t icir stock to the railroads. The prices ol
meats have also advanced.
