Lying to Sick Folks and Children

There Is n largo class of dcccptions
which are pleaded and extcnuated, such

to sick persons. set myself against tho

ness. A lie told to u child Is n monstrous
thing. I abhor 1t. And yet lies arc told

in hams when dressed for public Occa-
sion. Your child Is sick, and you bring
him u potion. 1T Is good, my dear, 1t Is
good" when It Is bitter rs gall. You arc
not only u liar, but n tool. The child
learns after little time not only that tho
medicine Is not good, hut that tho truth Is
not to be regarded. You not only give
the child an odious dose of morals. You
inoculate him with spirit of lying from
the beginning. think we cannot be too
careful to speak the truth, and above all
In children. As to tho sick, / do not be-
licvc II necessary to tell them MI the truth.
But doctor Is not justified In lying to
his patient. II Is easy for him to say to
tho person whose case he has undertaken,
"You must have confidence In me- But
IL he says anything, let him say the truth.
It may excite the patient, or may not;
but II cxcitability Is u reason for not tell
ing the truth, then II Is reason for ST.
lence-it is not reason for deception. /
think that such persons arc Oftentimes in
iurcd by being deceived. think there Is
q great deal of cruelty pnscticcd toward

Hints About Work.

Farm Buildings. Look to your founda-
tions, and repair where necessary before
cold weather; bank up the earth to pre-
vent water settling near or working
through them. See that good channels
exist to carry surface water away from
(not out Of barnyartls, aud away from NIL
buildings, See that no sills rest upon the
ground, and that no manure ar litter has
accumulated under the floors or sills,
Fave troughs should he put upon every
roof from which the water might run Into
thebarn yard; carry all the rain-watcr In
10 cisterns or well away.
Hencrics for securing eggs In winter
may have their floors three feet below the
surface Of the ground. well ccmented. to
prevent water coming In. Tho earth
coming out of tho pit, II banked up against
the walls, will make them very warm.
while greenhouses s,shcs will admit light
and the heat of the sun 10 such degree
that fowls In such quarters well fed, will
usually lay all winter. The whole struct-
urc should not he over 8 feet high, In front,
from tho floor, and 8 at tho rear. Fowls
may also bc accommodated in other warm,
light quarters. with the same result. BE
sure TO vcntilatr.

Webster and Douglas.

The following characteristic nnecdote,
among others in Peter Harvcy's collec-
ton, we were permitted by him to copy.
II was related to Mr.. Harvey by Mr..
Douglas himself, not year previous to
the death of the late statesman, and illus
tr,tcs most strikingly the character of Mr..
Webster for magnanimity and generosity
qualities which he possessed in q large
measure.
The anccdotc, as related by Mr., Doug
las, was to this effect: He had always
been opposed, politically,to Mr.. Webster,
although their personal relations were
friendly, and nothing had passed between
them which was calculated to interrupt
such relations. After many years Of ser.
vice in the lower house of Congress, Mr..
Douglas was elected to the Senate, and
there brought into more immediate inter-
course with the great men who held seats
there (; first and foremost, rs he said with
emphasis, the great Webster, then Clay,
Calhoun, Crittenden, Benton and others.
Having y good share of ambition by ma
t,irc. hc was not unwilling 10 measure
swords with the great leaders of the Whig
party. and felt that any Senatorial hOnOrs
won in debate with such men would bc
worth contending for. Not many weeks
after he had taken his his seat, such an OPP
portunity, he thought, presented itself. In
the course of some discussion In that body
having party relations to the measures oi
the government, Mr.. Webster spoke with
feeling and great dcliberation. Douglas
says, snow is my time, and Mt once re-
plicd TO the great statesman with conf
dcnce, and with such ability rs he could
command. not doubling that what he said
would elicit an immediate reply from Mr..
Webster.
In this. however, he was doomed TO a
mortiEing disappointment. Mr., Web
ster listened with the most respectful at
tcntion to his speech, but instead of offer.
ing to make any reply, merely resumed
his occupation Mt his senatorial desk, with
an expression Of quiet kinduess. Some
few days aftcr this occurrence, rs they
were passing from the chamber to the ro-
tunda, they came in contact. Mr.. Web
stcr. after salutinS him in the most friend
" manner. drew his arm within his own
walked 10 remote part Of the rotunda
and ut once spoke TO him on the subjcc
of debate few days previous. Doug

PREVENTING WHITE BUTrER IN CHUfS.
rSG.-By raising tho temperature OF
cream high, you get white butter. In
summer the temperature Is apt TO be this,
especially In the dog-days, and hence
there Is white, frothy butter, less Of j,
and Il takes longer to bring II. So In
winter, with hot water You ''scald' your
butter, rs II Is called. All isin the tenn.
r,en,ture. This, when high, causes the
sugar to fernent and produce acid, and
the acid acting on the salts, liberatcs the
cascine or cheese principle. which thcn
curdlcs. and you have your white mass
of cheese and butter. much OF the butter
remaining in the churn In the milk, while
the butter has an undue quantity Of cheese.
The rrmeiy Is. take care of tho tcmpern-
tire. not only In the churn. but In tho
milk and cream before they get there.
There will then bc no difficulty. Fifty-
five TO sixty degrees Is the point TO be
aimed nj from tho time tho milk leaves
the COW ill the butter hNs come. BY
keeping your windows shut In warm
weather and open when cold. this tomPcr-
