Should Butter BE Washed.

We have known excellent butter.mak-
ers wash their butter thoroughly, and we
have seen others who were accustomed
to make butter of prime article refrain
from washing it. The keeping qualities
of butter depend principally upon two
things-tirst, the buttermilk must all be
got out; and second, the grain of the but
ter should be kept as perfect as possible.
1t is an excellent practice, as soon as the
butter has fairly come, to stop churning,
then drain the buttermilk from the
churn through hair sieve into tub,
after first wettlng the sieve in hot water
and then in cold, and then the butter
Will not stick TO it. Let the butter re-
main in the churn after the buttermilk is
drained out, then wash it by pouring the
water upon it from a sufficient height
and stream of sufficient size to force its
way through the butter. Keep moving
the stream about upon the butter as it
keeps rising upon the water. Pour in
water enough to dilute what little but
termilk there is in it to that extent that
it will not be necessary to change the
water, and the result will be that you
will have rinsed the buttermilk all out
of the butter without injuring or mash
ing single grain. In working in the
salt the ladle, or worker, whatever it is,
should never be allowed to slip on the
butter, but to go on at the butter in a
pressing or rolling motion. If allowed
to slip on the butter it will make ii look
shiny, destroying the grain and in uring
its keeping qualities.
One ounce to pound is hardly enough
to pack TO hold and then some churnings
OF butter will work out more salt than
others, to which will have to be added
more before packing N. y. Herald,

when other toys fail of novelty. The
giantpowder cap is percussion affair
used in blasting, and when it goes off

surrounding objects. One of the Virginia

q man is often seen whose odd demeannr
is the subject of much comment. He
wears good clothes, has an intelligent
appearance. and the speech of an edu-
Gated man; but his eyes have the unnis-
takeable CLEAN of insanity. He is
always in a hurry, and always inquiring
for Charles Garner. The man is Frank
A. Smith. and his mania was strangely
developed. About five years ago he
was in Kansas. In the bar-room of o
tavern in which he was staying for a
few days he got into quarrel with q
bullying frontiersman, end was finally
struck by his aggressive opponent. Be-
lievlng that his life was in danger he
drew a revolver, at which the scared
desperado ran out of the room. Smith
followed and fired; but the bullet prob
ably did no damage, as the man was not
seen that night. nor afterward in that
neighborhood. 1t is supposed that he
dared not return to the tavern at once.
The excitement of the encounter seri-
ously affected Smith, who was not in
good health, and his morbid fancy made
him think that be had killed his assail-
ant. He returned to his home in Bos-

murderer. His friends have songht for
the missing man IN vain, only learning
that his name was Charles Garner. and
that he was dissolute vagabond
Smith refuses to be convinced that his
delusion is not fact, yet is always look
