Having learned that the creamery had shut down for the winter, C. H. Cleveland, of Bemidji, was in Laporte last Friday to see what arrangements, if any, he could make with the di- rectors for operating the creamery this winter on his own account. Af- ter talking with some of the members it was decided best to. call a meeting of the stockholders, and a special meeting will be held November 15. Mr. Cleveland run the Bemidji cream- ery for a while and is well recom- mended. He stated while here that he would pay 30 cents for butter fat, and there seems to be no doubt now but what satisfactory arrangements can be made next week if he is still willing to carry out his original prop- osition.—Laporte News.

Rare Peruvian Ware. Vessels of odoriferous clay were im- ported early in the sixteenth century from Peru, Chile and Mexico by the Portuguese merchants, to which were given the name of buccaros. So highly was this ware esteemed that only the ‘wealthiest collectors could afford to possess entire specimens. Broken pleces were set in gold or silver or ground to powder to be used to scent cakes and confections and to perfume gloves and bandkerchiefs. It was also supposed to possess medicinal prop- erties and was prescribed by contem- porary physicians for certain ail- ments. The great demand for the buccaros resulted .in the alleged dis- covery - of scented eclays - in Portugal and the potters of the time used them to fashion ali sorts of drinking ves- sels on which they impressed a seal or stamp, bence the adoption of the name terra sigiljata. The Haughty Butchers. The complaint against the high cost of living probably dates from the | time Adam paid so dearly for a bite | of apple. At a later date. according to the Westminster Gazette, the retail butcher of France grew very arrogant, and it says that the present increased price of meats has caused the exam- ination of the records in order to trace | the origin of the trouble there. In 1590 a decree was issued which suggests that butchers were carrying things with a high hand. It says: “Butchers are expressly enjoined not to ill treat or use abusive language to the ladies of their city. or the women of low de- gree, or the servant maids who propose to deal with them. They are on no account to mock or deride the said ladies, women and maids, but are to receive politely all offers made to them for their goods.”—San Antonio Express. Swiss English. Swiss English always seems designed to round off the scenery with the toueh of humor. For years the best in the writer’s collection has been an inserip- tion by a path leading to a waterfall near Meiringen, which explained that a toll was necessary for “the founda- |/ tion and untertaining” of that path. Until recently, hewever, there was nothing quite equal to the Strassburg cathedral notice: “Express interdic- tion to circulate during divine service. Beadle have to preserve order.” But Switzerland has at least tied with Ger- many now in the collection. In a cer- tain Oberland valley, too unspoiled yet to be given away by name, there is a series of gates which-hear a short re- quest in Oberland German to the way- farer to close them.

An Indian prince after a court func- tion in London went home for a chat with a friend, also an eastern poten- tate. On arriving he asked to be al- lowed to take off his dress coat and then that his friend's private secre- tary might put it in the safe for the night. It was a silk frock coat, but- tercup yellow and beavy with jewels. “How much may you be worth with your coat on®” the prince was asked. “About £200,000, was the reply. “I am a poor man beside you,” said his friend sadly. “My dress coat is ‘worth not much more than half that amount.” The Awakening. .
