KgEPNG CREAM.-Next in Importance TO
having the milk perfectly pure and sweet,
and freed from all animal odOrs, comes the
matter Of keeping the cream after It Is taken
of the milk. In the first place, the less
milk there is in the cream at the time it is
set in the cream jar, the better. y great
deal Of carclessncss is shown IN this matter.
for be it known that milk makes cheese,
Willie the cream only makes butter and the
more milk there Is IN the cream ut churning
time, the more cheesy-aay0red Will he the
butter, and therefore the more likely % spoil
afterwards unless excessively sailed. Really
pure good butter requires very little salt,
while butter as ordinarily made VIII soon spoil
unless well sailed or kept covered with brine
Secondly. the cream jar must be of the very
lest quality Of stone Warc-thick glass
would be still better it must have q coyor
that will exclude all dust and insects.
hirdly, the cream Jar should be kept in a
place where no noxiOus Odors or gases can
be absorbed when the jar is opened to add
more cream, and also where the temperature
can be kept cool and cquable, say at about
60 degrees: lastly, the cream is 10 be made
into butter as soon as il Just begins 70 sour
and hen the jar is empted IL is TO be

CJNFt SGD FARMERS The Boston journal

suggest the remedy for the affection. Farm

these evils. and IN placing agriculture upon

4 QUAKER SoNG.-Gen Woodford states
that the boys in blue sang We're coming,
Father Abraham, three hundred thousand
more" on the night march to Gettysburg
The history Of that popular and stirring
song is as peculiar as that of the celebrated
war cries of Europe. 1t was written by a
quiet, unpretending Quaker gentleman.
who often tries a flight with the goose
quill, and, feeling pleased with it, he
showed it TO others whose " friendly pro-
elivities toward peace prompted them to
dissuade him from showing it further.
Then it slumbered in his pocket, and final
ly met the eye of an editor of the New
York Erening Post, who, upon promise
not to disclose the authorship by sign or
hint, was permitted to print it. Appear
ing thus, 1t was at once attributed to Mr..
Bryant of course taken up by the
press, set to music, and sang from end to
end Of the country and the army, and now
nothing short of an affidavit of denial
from Mr.. Bryant will make most people
believe ne did not write it. If the pen is
mightier than the sword, the Society of
Friends have thus much to answer for.

CoLoRING BUTTER.-The New York Bu<
letin says; " Attention is called by nearly
all the the trade to the pernicious practice
Of dairymen of colOring their new butter,
which cannot, in most cases, be sold at all
10 customers, who really take white butter
Of the same quality at price that it is i'm
possible to obtain for colored stock The
trade cannot be deceived, and high colored
butter cannot be made at all seasons Of the
year" To which the Jtica Herald adds -
:. We arc glad the taste of consumers Is
taking this turn. We consider col1ring an
abomination, and hope it will soon 80 out Of

ORIGIN or Collaborating to Professor
Wurtz, the formation of coal depends entire
" upon the action of the iron which was dis
solved in the waters Of the coal period. The
combinations OF iron with which coal is
always accompanied are pyrites, iron spar,
and hydrated oxide. These were doubtless
derived from the strata interiected between
the coal beds. In this case the oxygenated
water appeared to act upon the metallic sui
Dhurets which were contained in the crystal
line states, from the destruction of which
these coal strata were derived. Coal conse-
quently, is the normal result Of eremacausis
OF organic substances in waters which con
tain sulphate Of iron and free carbonic acid.
An immense pressure upon the mass, while
in a Plastic condition, was also, without
doubt, an additional element of importance.

Dry EARTH THE BEST DIsINFECTANT.-In
the course of a recent discussion before the
Lyceum of Natural History upon the sub
Ject Of disinfectants, 10 which DR.. Endemann,
Professor Joy, and others participated, it
was stated that, Of all disinfectants. dry
earth was the UosJ satisfactory. DR.. Ende-
mann had tried all the disIufectants sold
IN market, by composing blooc decayed
meat, and vegetable garbage with them in
boxes, and leaving them for six months in
the best condition for a far test At the
expiration of the time the only sample tha5
remained absolutely sweet and inodorous
was the one made up of dry earth and peat.
As the result of numerous experiments con-
Quoted by himself, Professor JOY stated that
he fully concurred in the statement of DR..
Endemann.

Flowers for the Day.

Give flowers bring flowers Of every hue,
From garden, bed and field,
To deck the green above the breasts
That made the Northern Shield.
Pluck of the sweetest orange bIoom-
And roses white and rare
But not for marriage affairs now,
Nor for the young brides hair.
Ask lilies for their palest buds
And violets for their blue
Ask wood and dell for greenest leaves.
For those, who died for you.
And lay above the blossoms cold,
Where brave hearts now repose,
The lilies pale and violets blue,
And orange bloom and rose.
And when the other Junes shall bloom.
Through all the years TO be,
Bring flowers as sweet and fair a. these
For those who die for thee.

4 T5UCHING incident "A speaker at
a recent Sunday School Conference related
an incident of little girl, seven years OF
age, who. having been taken sick was car
ried to hospital to die.
:. The last night, said the speaker, moth
ing was heard to break the silence but the
ticking of the great clock in the hall as
the pendulum swung backward and for
ward. Tnen it would strike the hour
eleven, twelve, one o'clock-when there
came from the couch of the little sufferer
voice Of sweet melody. 1t was one
verse of a Sunday School hymn.
Jesus the name TO sinners dear
The name To sinners given
10 Scaitcr7 all their guilty fear,
10 turns their hell TO heaven
Then all was silent again, and nothing
was heard but the ticking of the great
clock in the hall until she broke out after
2 while in another verse:
Happy il with my latest breath
NAV but gasp his name;
Preach hum 10 all, and cry i'm death
Behold, behold the Lamb ;.
g." The nurse FASTENED to the bedside of
the little sufferer, but she was too late.
The angels had been there before her. and
carried away that little Sunday School
girl from beholding the Lamb on earth to
his bosom in the sanctuary above"

A MOUSE AFFLICTED WITH THE
SMALL-Pox.-On Friday evening
a lady entered the drug store of
Edward Linridge, on 81 nd son
avenue, near Sands street, Brook
Ign, and placed a live mouse ON the
counter. The little animal had a
very sore head, and. the doctor was
asked whether he knew what the
matter was. He was also informed
that it had been brought from the
tenement house 1876 Hudson ave-
nue., near York street, where there
have been several cases Of small
pox. After examining the mouse
he found that it was covered with
sores. He sprinkled some disin-
fecting powder over it, and in a
short time it died. 1t was then
dissected, and a clear case of small
pox in it's worst form was reveal
ed. The remains were inclosed in
glass jar and are to be sent to
the hospital for further examina-
ton, as it is believed to be the first
case of the kind ever heard of.-lN

DEATH s01 AN INDIAN NOBLE
MAN Some time since, venaick
Gungadhur shastree, commonly
called Aba Sahib, died at Poona,
British India. The deceased was a
Maratha nobleman who, unlike his
class generally, chose a life of unob-
trusive usefulness.
From his early youth he devoted
his attention to science, and was
in 1S48 elected member of the
Royal Asiatic Society, which at
that time did not number a dozen
native members. He accomplished
unassisted, the correction of the or.
binary Hindu calendar, which had
remained for centuries in dispute
and is reputed to have been thu
first introducer o f photography
among the native communities o
Western India.
