PROsTITUTIoN.-The Westminster Review, for Jan
uary contains long and able article the subject of
prostitution and governmental efforts to suppress it,
The reviewer discusses the policy of force the do moth
ing policy, and adopts and recommends that of
and common sense.
1t is difficult question: we would suppose, for
government to attempt to control by force and the
cessarly accompanying application of punishment
The long catalogue of crimes presents no one more
degrading to conception than that of mercenary
prostitution We say mercenary, because we believe
that any other kind is of occurrence. Whatever
may be the nature Of its beginning; when the novelty
Of indulgence and the heat and flame of the distemp
er shall have away ayarice usurps the place of
passion and the victim of her depraved nature,
or of mans serpent wiles falls still lower in the scale
of humanity, and is left without argument Of apology
or paation. We have faith in the efficacy of moral
suasion and Magdelen societies We have faith in the
teachings and examples of the virtuous. When these
influences fail of the accomplishment of reformation
ali others will prove vain and futile The selfsame in
fnence that would work a reformation would lead the
young and unsuspecting into paths Of innoceRce and
virtue. We see the effects of the removal of whole
some restraints in the emancipation of the coored wo-
men. Our streets and police records afford too
gIarng evidences of the truth that prostitution is run
ming riot in our midst and is especially observable in
that class Of population who have lost the authoritative
admontons and rebukes of mistress, virtuous her
self and soctous protect the virtue of those around
her, although her interiors and her slaves.
What remedy can theEe be for this but in public
opinion in the healing power of time over the de-
morazaton which the war has bequeated to US?

A.GOOd Word for Good Muu.or.

EVERY man should be sober sometimes.

We have known men that never smiled,

But such are exceptional cases. Uni
form sObriety is presumptively very much
against a man. He who gives no play to
the gentler feelings has something the
matter with him that Should be looked
into before one trusts him.
Mirth itself is not always honest. But
it tends TO openness, 10 sint Gritty, to sweet

a man of than sobriety has. 1t, too, is

Feeding Calves.

On this topic Harris Lewis, of Herki
mer, N. Y, says "When the calf is two
or three weeks old, whey, or skim milk
with oil-meal, may be substituted for new
milk without detriment to the calf, and
at considerable saving in the cost of
food. The change, however, from new
milk to skim milk and oil meal, or to whey
and oil-meal should be very gradual, and
may be made by increasing the quantity
of the skim milk or whey, and diminish
ing the quantity of new milk from feed
ing to feeding until the change is effected
My practice (Which do not claim to
be the best, but which has been very satis-
factory to mel is as follows AS soon as
| commence making cheese every day, l
dip off sufficient whey for the nights feed
ing as soon as it separates from the curd,
and heat it boiling hot; then having wet
in small quantity of whey or water the
amount of oil-meal | wish to feed at night,
put it into n tub or cask (white oak or
ash is beste and turn on the boiling whey.
This will cook the oil-meal sufficiently,
and at the same time prevent the whey
from sourlng, even during the most un-
favorable weather, and if covered up will
be warm enough TO feed at night when
the weather is cool, and uncovered will be
about the right temperature 900 degrees
when the weather is warm. 'n
"For the mornings feed use whey
alone and take it from the vat assoOn as the
whey gets up to about 80 ?, which it soon
does, in the process of cooking the cheese.
II oil meal is used with skim milk to feed
calves, it should be cooked by turning
upon it sufficient boiling water to cook it
thoroughly, but in either case it is neces-
sary to first wet the meal, to prevent its
Jumping. Ol-meal or what is the same
thing, oil cakes ground fine, is the best
substitute for the fatty matter taken from
the milk in the manufacture of butter and
cheese that l have found, and calves fed
upon it, cooked and fed as above directed,
will do well without new milk"

The Dismtegratfng Democracy.

a striking Illustration that the way of the
transgressor is hard. All efforts to haT-
mopizs The broken fragments of the party

Each county and village has its local
great meh, whose entire platform consist
in an undoubting belief in themselves, and
a profound disbelief in any one else. Small
jealodsies, petty chickering's and little dis
putes, and an ambition to be head of u
faction which scarcely counts as Scatter

great Characteristic of the harmonious" !"

Like Che BOurbOns during the French
Revolution, these men will never learn
anything. To their minds, The world las
stood still for the past ten years, and they
are patiently waiting TO see it reverse its
revolutions, and turn back in its course.
Their prophecies and their prophets have
been alike at fault. The resistlcss march
OF events, and the completeness of the
great revolution, have made no impress
sion on their,minds, and they are still look
ing for a Second Slavery Advent, when
they can put on their robes and ascend
into the high places in the Government,
over the cause which freedom has won
and consecrated. The slightest success in
the election of town officer inspires
their enthusiasm, and they build air cas-
ties on such al event that reach the skies.
MeaIfwhi e-the great Republican party
maintains its solid front to the floating
fragments of the Democratic wreck. IL
is moYed by an Inspiration that knows no
faltering, and no breaks are visible in its
massive line On questions of principle,
its organization is unit on those of

How to Test the Richness Of MIX.


1T IS Of no little Importance to have at
hand convenient aud reliable mode Of
testing the richness of milk. This is
usually done by the mere rule of "guess"
We will give more reliable way, within
the reach Of all, and one whereby any
kperson may safely govern himself in de-
Gliding upon which Of any number of
Emilkmen he will patronize, or of which Of
any number of cows ho viii purchase.
+ Procure any long glass vessel a
cologne bottle or long phial. Take a
narrow strip OF paper, just the length
from the neck to the bottom Of the phfal,
and mark II off with one hundred lines at
equal distancesi or, If more convenient,
and to obtain greater exactness, into fifty
lines, and count each as two-and paste Ii
upon the phial, so as to divide its length
INTO hundred equal parts. Fill iG to the
ahighest mark, with milk fresh from the
COW, and allow it to stand in perpendic-
Eular position twenty-four hours. The
Ipumber- of spaces occupied by the cream
Twill give you the exact per centage In
the milk without any guess work.
r Now, If you wish to carry the expert
Ement further, and dascertain the percentage
fof butter In your cream, set the milk in q
! large dish, and collect, say 100 or 20C
.tounces of cream make your butter, and
Lyou will know the per centage of butteI
Ein your cream by ascertaining the number
tof ounces of butter you have made from
Fit. Thus, if 100 ounces of milk give II
tounces of cream, and 10 ounces Of crealr
give five ounces of butter, you will know
that 100 ounces of milk will give five
LOUNGES of butter.
1 Such experiments are worth being made
and made carefully. In no other way car
you know what you have in COW or milk
! or what you are buying. In this way
also you may test the exact nutritive value
