Tho Preservation Of Milk for sever.
al mouths, as fresh and sweet as When
drawn from the COW, is said TO be attained
by the means of recent patented pro.
cess. The milk is first placed in cans or
bottles, which are filed as nearly full as
possible, and Immediately corked tightly
or hermeticalIy sealed. The cans or bot
ties are then placed in bath of water,
heated to the same temperature as the
milk, IN such manner as to allow a free
circulation of water beneath and around,
but not over thom. The temperature of
water bath is then slowly raised to be-
tween 100 Q and It's f. The water is
kept at this temperature for greater or
less length Of time, according to the pc.
riod during which it is desired to preserve
the milk. One hour will, it is claimed,
preserve the milk four or five weeks. Five
hours heating is enough for eight months
or a year. The fire is then withdrawn,
and the operation is completed. ~

He used to tell in meeting The following
story: While conducting camp-mce.ing
in Western New York. messenger ar.
rived at the camp TO Inform hin that the
wife Of the chief steward had died that
morning. Father Brayne delegated his
powers to another, and started home to
comfort the bereaved widowcr. After q
twenty miles ride, he reached the farm.
house where the deacon lived about four
in the afternoon. On entering he shook
the widower by the hand and sat down in
silence. By-and-hy he began to condole
with the bereayed man, aud offered him
all the consolation in his power. = Its a
very heavy grief you have TO bear" said
the minister, "but you must bear up like
a man. 80" Yes" the deacon replied,
{ it's kina'o rough. Let's take a walk
around" Father Brayue, thirkibg that
the widower felt i'll and depressed, and
that the fresh air would do him good,
readily assented. The deacon led him to
his barns and stables, and showed him ov-
er his farm. The parson appeared to take
great interest in everything. and rejoiced
to think that he was helping to divert the
deacou's mind from his terrible sorrow.
After they had gone round the whole
farm the deacon said Now. minister,
ye see every things in 6ne order. What
would We advise me to do-bring my
daughter and her husband here to manage
the place, or go buckirg about among the
girls again for another wife ?" .

The Rum-SelIerS Yielding.

The singular crusade of the Ohio wo.
men against the liquor dealers shows no
signs of abatement, but on the contrary,
from the rural towns. where the war has
waged !uriousIy and effectively, the strug-
gle has been transferred ana introduced
to the capital aud principal cities Of the
State. With their unparalleled success in
the rural towns, in many Of which the sale
of rum has been entirely suspended, the
women have grown confident. and during
the past week have begun to agitate rum
sellers in Columbus, Dayton, Springfield,
and other cities. ........
AT Washington Courthouse a man
named Passmore opened new saloon,
last week, whercupon the whole moral
aud religious power of the town was turned
upon him. The ladies' prayed before his
door all day, and until half asst ten at
hlght, during severe snow's'orm. On
Monday, at the business mems prayer
meeting, a message from Passmorc an-
nounced that be had closed. An immense
procession Immediately marched to the
saloon of Breck. who had cnioinei the
women from using the tabernacle in front
Of his place, those who were enolncd re.
in the church to pray. Beck, on
seeing the procession, SAID he too would
stop. Only one saloon keeper remains.
and he has asked for time to consider the
subject.
A, Baschester all the saloons are closed
and at Logan the ladies have likewise ccl-
cbrated complete victory, while at Lau.
CASTE and Athens the work il beginning.
At Pomeroy, society has been organized
N the principle that there is enough NOR
Il and religious power in the city to exter-
innate the liquor business, and they will
'esort to the law only where other means

years this woman had not heard kind
word spoken, nor received thankful look, j.,
save from her children.

To WHOM AMERICA Is INDEBTED FOR

of Portland, Me-, now Of New York
State, claims to have introduced the TO-.
mato into America. The spot where T..

by spacious stores and is opposite the

story runs thus; In 1916 Mr.. Harrod had

A Good Action.

A good action is not distinguished from a
bad action by marks so plain as those which
distinguish hexagon from a square.
There is frontier where virtue and vice
fade into each other. Who has ever been
able to define the exact boundary between
courage and rashness, between prudence
and cowardice, between frugality and ava
rice, between liberality and prodigality?
Who has ever been able to say how far
mercy to offenders ought TO be carried, and
where it ceases TO deserve the name of mercy
and becomes a pernicious weakness? What
casuist, what law-giver, has ever been able
nicely to mark the limits of the right of
self-defence? All our jurists hold that a
certain quantity of risk to life or limb justi-
fies a man in shooting or stabbing an aSsail-
ant, but they have long given up in despair
the attempt to describe, in precise words.
that quantity Of risk.

The spanish Style.

1t is related that two girls in the Royal
tobacco factory, at Madrid, recently killed
each other in a hand-to-hand contest. The
mode adopted by the combatants was as TO-
mantle as it was barbarous. The antag =
nists, who were both about twenty years
old, and remarkably handsome, repaired,
one Sunday morning, accompanied by GER
tain of their comrades. to a village some
four or FIVE miles distant, where they break
tasted sumptuously at different tables. The
repast ended, they closed the window cur
tains, stripped themselves to the waist, and
requested their friends to leave the room ;
then at given signal, they attacked each
other with their nayajas, and slashed and
thrust, until both fell to the floor mortally
wounded. When few minutes had elapsed,
their friends re-entered the room. Estelania,
one of the combatants, had received ten
wounds, from which she bled to death iu
about half an hour. CaSilda, her antago-
mist, died somewhat sooner from a ghaStly
wound in the neck.
