The Antiquity of Butter Making.

Herodotus, the Greek historian, IS
the most ancient writer who, IN MS ac-
count of the Scythians, described pro-
cess for making butter. The word
buturon first occurs In HlpPocraes'
who was nearly contemporary with h a
odotus, in the fifth century u. Z. Inc
Scythians," says Hippocrates, pour
the milk of mares into wooden vessels
and shake it up violently, making IL
foam, when the fat part, which is iISht,,
rises to the top and becomes busuron.
Dioscorides, 33 B. c., says that good
butter is prepared from the latest mix
of sheep or goats, by shaking u IN
vessel till the fat separates. lie says,
also. that it can he melted and poured
over pulse and vegetables, instead OF
oil. and might be used in pastry instead
of oil. 1t is evident from this that
drawn butter is not a modern invention,
and that orr pastry cooks have learned
something from their grandmothers. But
the principal use of butter among the
Greeks and Romans was as an olntmeh'
and medicine. The Romans were &C
customed to anoint the bodies OF then
children with it to render them pllable
and the Burgundians extended Its ap
plication by using it as a hair oil. Piu
tarch, the prince of ancient story -tellers
informs us that Spanish lady once
paid visit to Berenice, the wife o.
Deiotarus, and that one smelt so strong
" of ointment and the other OF butter
that neither could endure the other
We are not told what kind of Ointmen
it was. but we can safely assert that thu
butter must have been very rancid
TIE ancient Christians of Egypt burnt
butter in their lamps instead OF oh
and in more recent times it was used to-
the same purpose in Roman Catholit
churches, during the Christmas festival
To avoid the great consumption OF olive
oil. The cathedral of Rouen has tower
called the butter tower. from the fac
that the archbishop of Rouen, in A. ID
1900, finding the supply of oil to fail
during Lent, permitted the use Of bnt
ter in lamps, on condition that each IN
habitaut should pay six derniers, wltl
which money the tower was bmlt

The Real Owners of Great Britain.

tits startling truth that the people of
Great Britain and Ireland, numbering
more than 81 ,O00, 900 of whites, of the
proud aud self-w lied AnglO-Saxon race,
are landless tenants, tilling the soil by
permission, upon the payment of oner-
Ous rent. They own not an acre of the
land of their birth and of the country of
their ancestors. What is true of the
farms is true Of the lots in the cities.
The hereditary lords claim the proprie-
torship of every lot under every mans
dwelling or place of business in every
city and village in the "threc king
doms," and exact senli-annual rent
therefor with the punctuality of the
seasons. The few exceptions to the rule
only make it the more astonishing
Here is this mighty city of London, the
capital of the British empire, number
ing more than 900, 600 families. each re-
quiring a dOmicile, and containing GER
tainly GOO, 600 buildings, but every one
of them standing on leased ground, and
every family occupying them paying
rent to the hereditary lords of the
land. And what is thus true of mighty
London is also and equally true of the
other great cities, such as Liverpool,
Glasgow, Manchester. Birmingham,
Edinburgh, Dublin, Belfast, Bristol,
Newcastle, Leeds, Sheffield, and of the
thousand smaller cities, towns and vii
lagos all the inhabitants thereof pay
tribute to the hydra-headed Caesar.
And this universal rental is not mere
nominal sum or trifie, exacted for form
sake. or to maintain "a good old Gus
tom " or venerable usage but, on the
contrary, is the highest amount the
landlord can wiring out of the tenant, the
utmost, on pain of eviction, the tenant
can pay. Where there are long leases
in the cities, the ground rent is not, OF
course, SO oppressively felt by the ten
ants rs in the country, where the leases
are short, and where they are care
fully estimated upon the p, obable pro-
fits of the land rs known by long past ex-
periepce. The total annual rental of the
three Kingdoms amounts to about $3.50,
600, 900, which is divided by 80, ZOO, 600,
landlords, 10000 of whom receive more
than half the sum. The total taxes
paid by the people of the United States,
for the maintenance of the federal gov
eminent, and all the state, county and
municipal governments, including inter.
est and sinking-funds on all their debts,
are less than the aggregate rentals paid
by the British people to their heredita
ry landlords. And, after paying these
rents, they still have to raise the money
for the support of their own genera
and local governments, which is MOI
much, if any, less than that paid by the
people of the United States.

Gymnastics for the Old.

1t has BEEN imagined that gymnastSc
exercise is exclusively profitable to the
Young 1t is not so it is of asivant-
age, of great advantage, likewise TO the
old. Young persons need little exhOr-
tation to exercise, since, by nature, mo
ton is their chief desire but they
stand in need of advice and m odera-
ton, since, as they do everythiDgimmOd-
eratcly, SO they are accustomed to take
too much exercise, and of an improper
character, course of proceeding not
without danger. On the contrary, with
older men, the increasing weight Of the
body and the loss of the sO-called "aDi-
nal spirits" induces the desire OF se-
pose, and they need an increase OF Ak
ercise beyond that which inclination en-
Joins on them. Thus they are brougAt
within the province of the gymnastac
code. 1t has been said that nature rs
an all-suflicicnt guide in this respect
This is true of our proper rational ma
tire, but not of mere individual incli-
nation, to which the apothegm is more
frequently applied. Children, who by
reason of the tenderness of their age,
are incapable of reason, live indeed ac-
cording to nature, but rather to that of
brutes than of men. This element of
superiority which we possess over the
rest of the inanimate creation tells, or
was intended to tell. men of advanced
years, if they would but listen to it,
that exercise is necessary to their in
creased age, since tie natural heat of
the body then becomes weaker, and it
is less able to purge itself of those SUI
perAuities which, by gathering and rest
ing therein, cause, at first considerable
inconvenience, at the last, decay and
dissolution.

From Gerald Massey's Lecture on
The Devil.

1t is pitiable for you to pray to God
for his kingdom to come on earth when
you are doing all you can to prevent it.
You were sent here to work for that pur-
pose, and the reason that it cannot come
is because you stand in the way, merely
standing and praying with folded hands.
The othodox are responsible for helping
the devil their false beliefs have been
utterly opposed to progress. Is Chris
tianity Christ's likeness? Instead of
that it is but bastard Judaism. It is
the apotheosis of self, each man hoping
to save his cOwar,lly self by the sacri-
flee of another. Christians get rich by
grinding other people down, and then
hope to be saved by another sacrifice
made hundred years ago. You build
comfortable houses for broken-down
paupers to die, breeding this disease
which yOu treat SO generously. Surely
no human being has been so much mis-
interpreted as the man Jesus Christ
He came not to preach sermon, not to
write novel, but to live a life, life
that is an example to us. 1t was full
length, straightforward laying down
his life for others. Instead of follow
ing that example, we have actually
rested all our hopes of salvation on
that death. We have erected churches.
splendid tombs in which we have buried
him. 1t is so much easier to set ND a
God Tor worship at a far-off distance.
We have arrested the work of this
world until we can agree on an easy
way to the next world. We have erected
beautiful statues TO his memory for the
people to look upward to, while we lave
been filching the ground from under our
feet. We have never yet begun at the
true beginning. The reason, then, why
God does not kill the devil is because
man has unconsciously created all that
IS the devil, which here and hereafter is
destroying his own work.
