viii Salt Preserve Butter.

| Will salt preserve butter? No, that
question is easily answered. Salt is added
To butter Tor two rcasons-one is to assist
III its preservation, the ,airvwomen vainly
thinking that salt will keep the butter sweet.
Another set adds salt with dishonest mo-
tivcs, with the idea that all the salt put in
the bn'er is sold at the full price the but
| ter brings. 1t is a great mistake. Every
pound OF salt put III butter over what is re-
quir"d TO give it Il flavor, instead of bring
ing cash return to the buttermaker, proves
Il positive loss of several cents a hound
bcca,lse it reduces the value of every polnl
OF butter SO over-saltcd, frequently as muclr
us three cents a pound. Butter is not pre-
served by salt. That is positive 1t will
keep just us long ard Just as sweet as Olive
oil, without salt, if no other substance is in
c"rroratcd wit ii. 1t is the casein of milk
that spoiis the butter, and unless free from
that, no art can keep it sweet. Butter
shonlI BE- churncd AT So deg, and immcdi-
atcIy afterwards reduced to 40 deg, and
the less it is touched by human hands the
better. 1t must bc worked cool, either will,
or without washing, as this is Il niooted
question:, until absolutely free from butter
milk or PARTICLES OF sour curl, and then Just
enough, and no more salt added than to suit
the taste Of the consumer. The salt must
be pure, and one ounce TO ten pnunds Of
butter will ba sufficient. Then pack the
butter solidly in any c;.sk OF sweet wood or
stone pot, So us to exclude the air, and Just
solong as the air is excluded the putter will
remain sweet. If it could be kept perfectly
excluded. the period that it would keep
sweet in forever. You, question is answered.
Salt sciU not preserve butter.

The Boarding School Nuisance.

"While our s;ntary police is engaged in
inspecting cnigrant boarding houses, the
tenant houses OF the poor, and in ferrrting
out the causes Of diseases in alleys and un-
ventilated courts OF cities, equally fruitful
sources of ll-hcal,h exist among our high
cr CLASSES, producing evils as serious and as
lasting.
~ few weeks ago We were called in to
see young girl suffering from general de-
biii'y, neural gic pains, vertigo aud headache
She had Just returned from boarding
school in a neig boring city, where she had
spent only Il ,nontl, before her health, pre-
von:ly good failed. On inquiry, We found
the routine Of the srloo! to be as fellows,
and to be certain of the correctness of her
account, We have made inquiries of others
familiar with its management:
The pupils rise ut five in the morning.
They study from five to seven o'clock
From Seven to eight o'clock they have
breakfast From eight in the morning to
two, L. NJ, is spent in the school room, a
period OF six hours. At two they have
dinner : and from three TO five are allowed
to walk or take other exercise. From five
10 six they study; at six have tea, aud then
study from Seven to nine, when they arc
sent TO bed. $,
'Their diet is light and unsulslantial,
and their appctites under such n regimen
are AZ feeble asthe diet.
"NoW, here the day of a young, growing,
spirited school girl is driven into periods Of
seven hours Cor sleep, three for meals. two

nerson under full adult age needs eli ght o,
nine hours sIee,,. and, in order that SLEEP
, should be healilful and in,v;ss!hihg, they re-
quire a, least six hours Of recreation aand
active exercise. The time for meals is suffi.

and that in the aftespoon, when heat and

Inurderous. And twelve hours study PEI

young person.

Baron Dckalb. The Marquis was moi
quite twenty years OF age; he had already
; been married nearly three Years to Il lady
Of rank and fortune. Full OF the romance
Of liberty, he bad torn himself from his
youthful bride, turned his back upon the
.al"lics and sl'Icndurs of Il court, and, in
detiancc Of impcdiments and difficulties,
multiplied i'll his path, had made his way
to America TO join It's l'azartr,,s fortunes

10 Mr. Lowell, chairman Of the committee
OF foreign atlains, and applied the next day
at the door ui Congress to know his sue
cess. Mr.. Lowell ANSWERED that Congress
was embarrassed 10y number of foreign
applications, many without merit. La
taye,te Immediately sent in the following
note: after my sacrifices, | have the
right TO ;sk two t;,vors: one is to serve at
my own expense; the other is to com
mellcc by serving as Il volunteer" This
simple appeal had It's effect; it calls the at
tcn'ion to his peculiar case, and Congress
resolved Oh the 3lst Of July that, in con-
>ilcr;.;ion Of his zeal, his ilIlstrous family
and connections, he should have the rank
OF Major Gcnclal in the army Of the Uni
ted States. 1t was at public dinner where
Il number Of ncmhcrs of Congress were
present that Lafayette first saw Washing

his commanding air aud person. When
the party WAS breaking up, Washington
took h:in aSi,lc, complimcntcd him in Il gra-

A Dinner with Washington.

at the close of 1879, fortifying that strong
position, says "Notes and Queries" lie be-
thought him of inviting a certain DR.. Cocll

ing at headquarters, is more remarkable
since it is almost the only instance of spor.

mise that my table is large enough to hold
the ladies. OF this they had ocular proof
yesterday. 10 say how it is covered is
more essential, and shall be the purport of my
letter. Since our arrival ut this happy spot,
we have had ham sometimes shoulder
OF bacon, to grace the head of the table; a
piece OF roast beef adorns the foot, and Il
dish OF beans or greens, almost impcrceptiblc.
dccorates the center. When the cook has
Il mind to cut figure, which pcrsume will

steak pies or dishes OF crabs in addition,

between dish and dish to about six feet,
which, without them, would be about twelve
feet apart. OF late le has had the surpris.
ing sagacity to discover that apples will
make pies, and it is question, if in the
VIOLENCE OF his efforts, we do not got one Of
apples instead of hayiu,y both Of haef.t.,l.
