TEACHERS SALARIES.

1t is one of the curious facts appear
ing In the history of mankind, that the
pay OF those Sho are really the uplift-
ing forces in nation, is very small.
If a teacher or preacher hss money,
it is suspicious circumstance. and de-
mands an explanation. Said sharp
business man, never knew but one
teacher who made any money, and he
kept boarding school. Occasionally
we find teacher who lives on nothing,
saves his salary, buys something which
rises in value, and he becomes rich. OF
all wearying occupations there is none
equal to that of teacher. Confinement
in the school room impoverishes the
blood; continued thinking wear away
the brain, and anxiety to improve his
pupils often unnerves the teacher.
Contrast the salaries paid teachers
with that paid for other labor. Teach
ers salaries range in this State from
$3.50 to $500 per year, while an ordl-
nary mechanic will get from $40 TO go
per month, and clerk in store from
5000 to $1,000.

best things of this generation are to be
carried over TO enrich, strengthen. and

To COLOR BUTTER.--Among the Ogden
farm papers In The American Agricultur-
ist is the following upon this subject. As
dairying is attracting a large share of the
attention of Western farmers, the article
may be read and preserved with profit:
"The question whether butter ought to be
colored at all is one that may be left to the
Judgment of the maker. 1t is quite certain
that butter of good color sells for better
price than that which is as white as winter
butter invariably is. do not find that my
customers object to artificial coloring, and
/ am sure they would criticise an uncolored
article. No one objects to coloring with
carrot juice, which is unreliable In the mat
ter of taste and grows more and more 30 as
the spring approaches; but annatto is some
times looked upon as drug" and many
hesitate to uss 1t on this account

In the tropics, bears a pr:ckly pod about
the size of horse-chestnut. In this are
many seeds, of about the sizs and the shape
of kernels of buckwhest, which are i'm
