OLEO-MARGARINE.

The discovery of this substance in the fat
OF animals appears to have been made In
France by Hyppolyte Mege, who found that
COWS continued 20 give milk containing
butter after having been for some time
deprived of food. He thus ascertained that
the secretion was not obtained directly from
the food and then looked for it in the tissues
of the animal. He found in the fat, more
|abundantly in that surrounding the stomach
and intestines, Oil globules apparently iden-
tical, chemically, with the butter globules of
milk. These oil globules;are cleo margarine,
and when carefully separated from the
stearine and membranes of the fat are said
to be odorless and tasteless There was some
difference between the properties Of oleo-
margarine and butter. however, that were
not chemically perceptible. M. Mege ex-
perimented further, and claims to have
ascerta4ned that the oleo-margarine globules
experience an allotropic change into butter
globules by the action of mammary repsin,
a substance contained in the cows udder
M. Mege macerated udders to extract the
pepsin. then treating the oeo-margarine
with this extract, he claims to have produced
the necessary change and to have obtained
butter. He claims to have discovered, also
that oleo margarine becomes fluid at lower
temperature than stearine and can by proper
tallowy taste and odor. The temperature of
the fat in the process must not exceed 100
degrees; if higher the flavor of tallow will
be unavoidable. The fat is washed, hashed,
warmed and pressed when the oleo-marga-
rine flows out this Is again washed and treated
with mammary pepsn, after which it Is
churned with milk. The butter globules
from milk obtain favors from the essential
oils of the cows food which the oleo.marga-
rine does not possess, and we do not learn
that any attempts have been made to produce
them artfcially as yet. M Mege patented
his process in france in 1869 and sintroduced
1t there. Meantime Frenchman named
Paraf patented the process in this country
and sold rights to manufacture Subsequently
W. NlcSC aPpiACu AOI patCuGS III LulS COuubTy
and obtained them. The United States Dairy
Co., of ttis city now work under the Mege
patents and are selling rights. There is
likely to be q legal contest between this
company and the holders of rights obtained
from Paraf. It will be seen from the obove
that unless proper methods and great care
are used in its manufacture the oleo-marga-
rlne butter will have tallow flavor such
as much of the product now offered for sale
here exhibits. AS TO the economy of manu-
facture, M. Mege claims. to obtain as q
residuum very superior quality of stearine
valuable in the manufacture of sandles
which greatly reduces the cost of the oleo~
margarine. These facts are given to let
dairymen know the true character OF their
new competitor. -Iural Neao Yorker.

CHILDREN.

There are times in persons life no matter how
busy that life may be, when memory will return
to the daysof childhood. Oh how happy those
days were when we view them through 1.-THE dim
vista OF the past, happier than they really were
for the troubles at which we laugh to think we
called them SO. were as real to US then as our
present ones, only more easily forgotten.
ooh dear to memory are those hours
When every pathway led to flowers:
When sticks Of peppermint possessed
Ihe sceptres power to sway the breast,
And heaven was round us while we fed
On rich ambrosial ginger bread
Children have such animal spirits. and so much
capacity for enjoyment, that one feels sad when
they see all pleasure driven out of their Young
lives, or see them, like the GRADGRrNps il, DICK

children ask sensible questions, never put them

Tor themselves, and though papa and mama may

AS a general rule children do not like work !;
but combine work and amusement and what a
difference it will make. For instance, give the
children plot Of ground, and let them grow any

this means they will learn the art Of gardening

for their work they will do 1t more pleasantly

THE LITTLE LIGHT-KEEPER,
BY CHARLES g. SMITH

BY CHARLES 8. SMITH.
Here is the story of a little child,
Who, with her father, lived beside the sea,
On lone island. from whose rocks was piled
lighthouse tower of stoutest masonry
A seeples sentinel whose beaming eye
Watched through the night to warn of danger
nigh:
One day her father, who had gone ashore,
Failed with the early twilight to return;
And SO she sat, and wondered more and more
Until the evening star began to burn,
And thought, "Our light should.shed as true ray
Lest ships shonld be misled and cast away
And so she sat. perplexed with anxious care,
And listened to the oceans restless moan;
V'What can / do Indeed cannot bear
Through all the dreary night to stay alone;
Nay, not Alone" she thought and undismaYed i,
The little creature then knelt down and prayed.
Then she arose, and with trembling hand,
Slow dragged chair beneath the well-trimmed
light;
PerChed her slight figure on the trusted stand,
u ARd stretched on tip-toe to her utmost height,
And then reached up-alas! her heart was sick;
The lighted paper did not reach the wick.
What should she do in this her hour of need
Nought could she find to make the pile more
high,
Till the big Bible, kept with careful heed,
AnG.read at night aud morning, met her eye;
But still she paused, for, with a reverent dread,
Upon the book of God she feared to tread
And yet she thought, "What if our light could
save
Some ship from wreck upon the rocky shore -
And so, with resolution strong and brave.
The heavy volume to the pile she bore.
The deed was done.; the lights benignant ray
Beamed DER tie boiling breakers of the bay.
Her father sat upon the shore mea nwhile,
Detained by cruel wretches, who had planned
TO keep the light INTENDED, and beguie
Some passing vessel on the rocky strand;
And, when the cries of drowning men were DER,
To steal the cargo as it washed ashore
And as they sat there plotting evil schemes,
And hoped the midnight hourwould bring them
luck,
True as star the lights reproachful beams
~A"eAS~ Vi InO nhleI5s OlieH anu panic
struck,
They rose together with a sudden start
And grufhy bade the keeper to depart
Soon DER the waves the little boat he steers,
It's white sale cleaning in that'gratetul light :
And now the strong mans eyes are full of tears
To see afar that face to wan and white.
Through darkness ipeering from the slip1ery
rocks,
TIE nlght-dews falling on her Aaxen locks.
Glad was the daughter when her father came.
Proud was the the father a he kissed his child
But when she asked, with blush and bash full
shame,
II her young feet the Bible had defled,
SNo, 10, he said; "there never is abuse
When sacred things are put to roble USE"
And so he soothed her till her thoughts grew
calm,
Aud brought the Bible when she was in bed
AND read the glowing language OF psalm,
Until her heart grew warm and comforted
And, listening to the roaring of the deep,
The little Eghthcnse-keeper fell asleep.

SCOLDING.

Scolding is a habit very easily formed.
It is astonishing how soon one who in
dulges in it at all becomes addicted to it,
and confirmed in it. It is an unreasonable
habit. Persons who once get in the way
Of scolding always find something to
scold about, If there were nothing else
they would fail a scolding at the me,e
absence Of any thing to scold at. 1t is an
extremely disagreeable habit. The con-
slant rumbling Of distant thunder.
caterwauling Of hand-organ under ones
window, would Re less unpleasant. The
habit is contagious. Once introduced
into family, it is pretty certain, in q
short time, to affect all the members. If
one Of them begins finding fault about
something or nothing, the others are apt
to take it up very soon. and q very
bedlam is created.
