Origin of the Names of States.

about 1888, took the name it now bears from
Maine, province in the west Of France
The name is originally derived from the Ce-
nomanni an ancient Gallc people. New
Hampshire was the name given to the terri
tory granted by the Plymouth Company to
Capt. John Mason, by patent. in 1859. and

New York was named in honor Of the Duke
Of York. TO whom this territory was granted.
Pennsylvania was called after William Penn.
In 1904 the Duke Of York made a grant Of

Berkey and Sir George Cartcret and recei-
we'd is name in compliment to the latter. who
had been Governor Of the Island Of Jersey.

There is one popularity in the msnipuls.
tons Of butter making. which is held with as
much tenacity among the feminine professors
Of tie art. as the good and bad effects arising
from washing tutter after chuning and le-
fore packing One set Of laborous.pains ta-
king housewives insist upon the necessity Of
Working the whey and curd out BY the butter
adle. and honestly believe that drop Of
water would ruin a lump as Chimberazo.
While another equally reliable portion Of tho

so good, quick and certain, as though wash
ing with pure cold water. which can be done
in any weather, and with one BALI the labor
Of the ade fashion.
On looking at the subject philosophically.
we incline 10 the washing theory for many
reasons. In the FIRST place there can be no
tad effects arising from the use Of clean cold
water. Butter i, strictly an oleaginous CONE
pound, in no way soluble in water. while
every part Of the residunm. after the butter
i cons idated, is decidedly So and by diluting
it with water, and PARTICLES left are not con-
centrat 4 and likely to decompose and through
the cheesy fermentation, as ii in their origin
al state. Second: it matters not how much
water is used. rs it Goes t enter into com
bination with the oily mass Of butter; and if
the weather is hot and the water cold. it is in
state OF hardness in few minutes. to ex-
press all the waitery fluids, and finish the
operation at once which in the ladie process.
requires day or more Of cool exposure.
Thirdly the labor is incomparably less, as
there is ii tic harder work than butter makers
are subj,c; to working il pure without the use
Of water
Ii any Of our lady readers doubt our con-
clusions, let them lay down n stone pot by

small circumference Of the spout, it would
