of a skinner. The butter is put away

boiled in the same pan for two or three
minutes, with a pinch of pepper, and
turned over the butter. The whole is
heated when wanted, and turned over

Dancing at Home.

Henry Ward Beecher took occasion,
in a recent sermon, to aIlude to recrea-
ton and amusements In the home cir
Gle as being healthful and natural and
we append what he says about dancing
"Sonle persons, when they join the
church, think they must put all the glee
and mirth and music out of their lives.
Don't do it If a love song ripples up
to the surface of your heart, sing it
sing it sing it ! Don't let it die Ny
second mother, for remember no other,
was my ideal of woman gentleness, pro-
priety and elegance. She was not, how
ever, very demonstrative, She used,
before marriage, to be quite a belle,
and was often known to trip the light
fantastic toe. One evening, as my
father played tune on the violin, my
mother arose and in the most graceful
manner possible to conceive, com
menced to dance around the room. I
didn't know what to make of it. I was
speechless with CONSERVATION and
delight. My father looked on with sur
prise. Never in the whole course of my
life had I seen such a thing attempted
in my fathers house. It was delicious,
and I got lesson then which has lasted
me ever since. [ think to this day if
my mother had danced oftener and said
my chatechism a little less, it would
have been better for all of us. If you
have talent for music, cultivate it for
dancing, cultivate it whatever gifts
God has given you, make the most of
them, whether of voice, foot or eye"

Endemann Process OfPreserving Meat.

According to Dr. Endemann, an
excellent method of preserving meat
consists in cutting it into thin slices,
and drying it in current of warm air
not exceeding 40 degrees F. The
operation should be completed in three
or four hours, in which case the pro-
duct is hard, and may be easily ground
up in q mill, when it is in a condition
fit for use. The fbrane and aIbumen
are not coagulated, and consequently
are still able to take up water, and thus
expand to their natural condition. The
powder prepared in this way has a light
brOwnish-yellow color, a slight smell
like that of roast beef, and a very pleas
ant taste. For making soup, two
ounces are to be boiled, with the usual
ingredients, in sixteen ounces of water
Such soup is much stronger than when
prepared with half pound of fresh
uncut meat, as the latter does not give
out its extractive material so completely
after any amount of boiling.
Half pound of this powder, if stir
red into the proper quantity of water,
with the addition of an egg, may be
treated exactly as if it were the best
fresh meat and the fact that the fbrine
and albumen in this meat powder are
not cogulated renders it valuable sub
stance in case of weakness, where slim
uIating food is required, as it is more
easily digested than raw meat, while on
account of its minute subdivision, the
action of the stomach is facilitated.

Harvest in California.

The harvest season in this state COM
menced on the first day of June. A few
fields were cut before that day. Very
little wheat will be cut in the coast
counties for two weeks. Thus far we
have heard no discouraging reports
about the quality, no rust, blight,
shrinkage of berry, or other drawbacks,
The good quality is conceded by those
who have had opportunity to examine
the ripening fields. Even where there
is only half crop, the berry is we'll
developed. Many farmers are coming
to this city for harvest hands, the de-
mand in this respect promising to be
about the same as last year. Fran

WHAT Is MAN.-What is man to him
self but a mystery amidst the Won
drous works of creation he goes forth,
looks on the distant stars, and longs to
be familiar with their glories for here
is the vast expanse, a magnanimous
source for the sprmg-tide of happiness,
without which, life passeth like a
dreamy sleep, both useless and unen-
ioyed. It would be bliss to tell our
selves the beings that we really are, but
for the thought of what the spirit is,
and what it might be. A holy thing is
life in him whose mind can dwell with
God amidst his works.
THE SKEPTIcA1 Every
advance in medicine, every new remedy
has encountered an opposition, which is
the test of truth. Galen and Jenuer
only were believed when they had
proved their discoveries against OppO-
sitiOn. But men are observing, and
benefits always make believers. No in
credulity can stand the silent argument
| of good results. When Dr. Walker
proclaimed that he had produced from
| the medicinal herbs of California an
! elixir that would regenerate the sinking
| system and cure diseases not organic,
the incredulOus shook their heads. Yet
his Vinegar Bitters is now the standard
restorative of the western world. The
| truth could not be resisted. Under the
operation of the new remedy, dyspeptics
regained their health, appetite and
strength, the bilious and constipated
were relieved of every distressing symp,
tom; the consumptive and rheumatic
rapidly recovered; intermittent and re
mittent fevers were broken up; the
faint of scrofula was eradicated Who
could gainsay facts like these No
even the faculty. Skepticism was
routed. All doubts as to the claims o.
the Bitters to the first place in the frs
rank of modern medicines we're silenced
and this wonderful preparation is to-day
the most popular tonic, Alternative, anC
blood depurent ever advertised in Amer
lea. In common with other jOuI nalists
we are free to add our testimony to thi
2 remedy. It is a domestic medicine, ant
no household should be without it.
