How they would opprcss
us.

Mark Twain says that when wo.
men frame the laws, the first thing
they will do will be to enact:
i. That all men should be ut home
by 10 p. m., without fail.
z. That married men should be.
stow considerable attention on their
own wives. ..-...
3. That 1t should be a hanging
offense to sell whisky I'm saloons, and
that line and Acknowledgement should
follow drinking IL i'm such places.
4. That the smoking OF cigars Ia
excess should be forbidden, aud the
smoking of pipes utterly abolished.
b. That the wife should have O
little OF her own property when she
marries man who hadn't any.
"Such tyrany as this" says Mark,
I'VE could never stand. Our free
souls could never endure such degrad-
ing thralldom. Women, go away
Seek not To beguile us of our imperial
privileges. Content yourselves with
your little feminine trifies--your
babies, your benevolent societies and
your knitting-and let your natural
bosses do the voting. Stand back
you will be wanting to go To war
next. We will let you teach school
rs much as you want to, and we will
pay you half wages for It, too but
beware! we don't want you to crowd
us too much.

Never, we say-not even with the

they are formal only when they are

The val'ic ofn Scrnpbools

Every one who takes a newspaper
which he In the least degree appre-
ciates will often regret to sec any
one number thrown aside for waste
paper which contains some interest
ing and important article. A good
way to preserve these Is by the use
Of a scrap book. One who has nev-
er been accustomed thus to preserve
short articles, can hardly estimate
the pleasant familiar pages. Here
n choice piece of poetry meets the
eye, which you were so glad to see
in the paper, but which you would
long since have lost had it not been
for your scrap-book. There Is O
witty aIecdote-it does you good To
laugh over IL though for the twenti-
eth time. Next Ia n valuable receipt
which you had almost forgotten, and
which you found just in time to save
much perplexity. There IL o sweet
little story, the memory of which
has cheerd aud encouraged you
many time, when you were about
to despair under the pressure of life's
cares and trials. Indeed, you can
hardly take upa single paper with
out re-perusing 1t. Just glance over
the sheet before you, and see how
many valuable items it contains
that would be of service to you n
hundred times in life. A choice
thought is far more precious than q
bit of gold. Hoard with care the
precious gems, and see mt the end of
the year what rich treasure you have
secured. .--LsrcHaylge ..

At the recent meeting of the Dali
ryman's Association, In Illinois,
President King remarked that he
had been dealer in butter for thirty
years and considered that May, June
and July produced the pest, III prop
erly made and put down. Butter
containing whey, or lime, or milk
will not keep. 1t should be made
dry, become hard, and be properly
cured. Most people salt too high. II
should be salted to the palate, and Ii
will keep. All In excess Of this Is
injurious. The milk, cream, and the
surroundings of the butter room,
should all be pure, as foul odors are
certain to impart disagreeable fla
vor. Mr.. King stated that he knew

roses around the place where his but

Professor cameee, of the Alber.
Veterinary College, London, has I'M

process consists In killing animals

and dressing them as usual, then pla.
cling their carcasses I'm Theoretically
closed vessels, out Of which the air Is
pumped, and into which gases are
admitted. We have had an opportu-
nifty of seeing the four sheep at the
ofiice OF the american Agricait,rist,
where they are to be on view for sew
eral days. Two of the sheep were
brought over by the Denmark, In
boxes, so that the carcasses have been
as easily transmitted as ordinary
hams, and the other two sheep came
In Professor Sawycr's metal appara-
tus by the William Penn. One OF
the sheep which has been packed for
over four months Is fresh, though dry
looking In the interior. The Others
do not differ In any respect from NUT
ton which has been lying n day or

the meat, and found IL sweet I'm every
part. The invention, therefore Is a
complete success so far, and Professor
Gamgee hopes to supply the people
OF London with the beef and mutton
of our continent. To the farmers of
Illinois, Texas and other great gra-
zing regions Of the United States, any
process for the preservation of fresh
meat must prove Of very great value.
The one vital feature Of this process
Is that the meats keepf resh and sweet
for months In the open air. 1t has
no taste or smell different from ordi-
nary fresh meat. and to afford those
interested In this question an oppor.
