put in yolk Of eggs just before the butter

il makes very fine sweet butter. 1t Is
kept by mary as great secret, but l's
value requires publicity. The substances
mostly employed in England and Scot
land are the root OF the carrot aud the
flowers of marigold. The juice Of either
Of these is expressed and passed through

liar publication in the country, and has secu-
red for it combination of literary and artistic
talent probably unriyalled by any other maya

the sale in the trade and demand from subscr-
bers exceeded $4,000 copies, and the number
already issued Of the consolidated work are
universally conceded to have surpassed, III the
richness of their literary contents, and the
beauty aud proiuseness of their pictorial Illus

The American press. Encouraged by these ev-

Five Hundred Dollars to Back Down

Five Hundred Dollars 10 Back Down
Although so much is being said about
hard times, says the GAINESVILLE (Tenn.)
Chronicle, business transaction now and
then transpires which indicates perfect
ease in the money market. For instance:
two young gents, in tina, place, simultane-
ously fell in love with the same young la
dy. and esch---erroneously --supposing
the other to be exceedingly jealous. In
order to settle their claims, without sub
hitting them 10 the lady herself, one OF
the gentlemen said to the other, "Slr,
will give you five hundred dollars ifyou
will retire from the field, or | will take
the amount and back down" The gen
teman 10 whom the proposition was made
accepted it---thus paying five hundred
dollars for the chance of winning lady's
hand. This don't look like hard times,
especially as counting is free thing.
