BITTER CREAM.

The cause and cure are both well
enough known. Cream becomes bitter
by long keeping at thee days it will be-
gin to tell; after the fourth day 1t ls un-
fit to be used iu coffee or made into but
ter, spelling both.
In Summer there is little bitter milk or
cream, because the cream is churned
sooner than in Winter, seldom reaching
the third day. Sometimes, where there
is single cow kept, have known the
bitter to show on account of the small
quantity of cream accommodating. The
Summer practice is reversed in the Win
ter. There being too little milk to re-
quire frequent churning then-say one,
and sometimes two churnings week
account readily for the evils complained
of. The torepart of the season, when
milk is in greater quantity necesltatlng
more frequent churnlng, | hear but little
complaint. It matters not how good the
feed ls,-if the tenderest hay and roots
are added making an approach TO Sum-
mer feed nor how clean the milk is kept,
the most perfect milk it kept beyond
three days will be hurt. The writer of
this has filled the vessel, leaving barely
space enough for cloth to be stretched
over without touching the milk, and a
snug lid put on, keeping the air out, bat
all to no purpo>e. So, in the purest air,
in all the temperatures, it is the same.
It is age that spoils the cream; not on
ly does it make it bitter, but it destroys
the favor, giving it a rank risagreeable
taste. The sooner the cream is churned
or used after the milk has stood forty
eight hours. the better. IT there is too
little cream to churn add the milk and
churn that with 1t to give sufficient body
to work it. 1.-THE milk has been kept
in pure air, and cleanliness observed
throug bout, with the proper mperature,
about so degrees, there will not only be
an absence of the bitter, rank taste, but
good quality of butter will be produc

THE PANAMA HAT PLANT.

The Bolivians give this plant
(Carzudovica paznaata) the name of
Jipagapa, town in the Republic of
Ecuador, which is the principal seat
Of the hat manufacture-'' panama, :
like "Mocha, y in the case of coffee
and Brussels in that of carpets,
being a missioner. Before the leaf
has begun to open-when, in fact, it
resembles closed fan-it is cut off
close to the petlole, the base Of which
forms the center of the crown of the
hat. It is divided longitudinally
into strips with the thumb-nail, the
thick part forming the mid-rib being
rejected. The number of shreds into
which it is divided ofcourse depends
on the fneness Of the hat into which
they are to be manufactured. The
split leaf, which is of greenish
white color, is next dipped into boil
ing water, then into tepid water
calculated with lemon juice, and
lastly it is allowed to soak in cold
water for some time, and afterwards
dried in the sun. Each hat is, or
ought to be, made Of a single leaf.
They very in price according to fine
ness from Is pence to as many
pounds. The damping and drying
operations couse the shreds to as
sumo a curled or cylindrical form.
which much increases the strength
without injuring their pliancy. Be-
fore plating the coarser qualities are
damped with water, but the finest
sorts are left out in the morning dew
and worked on before sunrise. A
hat of the finest quality made out Of
single leaf will take several months
to make it complete, and the plating
will be SO fine as hardly to be
perceptible at a short distance. The
Carludovaca palauata is by no
means difficult TO cultivate and is
one of the most hardy species of the
genus. It grows well in the damp
heat of anorchild house where the
temperature does not fall below6O . /.

Bulgaria---Louisian

A little while ago British opin-
ion, led by Mr.. Gladstone, was
urging the Government to the
verge Of war because Turkey had
practiced or connived at cruelties in
Bulgaria which were no worse than
what, according to positive testimony
was done in Louisiana. The Amer
lean people will be moved at least as
much by the politicaloutrages oftheir
own couotrymen as The British
people are by the military outrages
Of the Turks. If the evidence taken
by the Returning Board yesterday
fairly represents the state of affairs
in the contested parishes, there will
be little doubtas to what the decision
in respect to those parishes ought to
be. ig 90 bEsl I qs bEa 1augts

MAIDENHOOD.
BY ANNIE Il. AMMAN.

BY ANNIE Il. AMMAN.
What happy star shone on her birth?
What grassy corner Of the earth
Grew daisies for her baby feet
To dance between, since they repeat.
On all the fowerless ways they pass,
That breezy motion of the grass?
What brook bewitched her to its brink,
And drew her fresh lips down to drink
It's music, while it slipped unseen
It's happy cadences between?-
So sweet and glad the voice that slips
From ambush of her maiden lips.
What winds upon the hills gave room
To her, and buffeted to bloom
Her rounded cheeks, and made her hair
A flying sunshine in the air p
For still, like sun-gleams on rose,
Her hayward color comes and goes.
What graybeard free upon the down
Caught, as she sped, her floating gown,
And whispered through his ancient girth
The long dumb sorrow Of the earth?--
For the sweet pity in her eyes
Almost their gladness overlies.

OPENING the Certificates and counting
the votes for President is provided for
by the constitution of the United States
and is az follows:
TIE President of the Senate shall, in
The presence of The Senate and House Of
Representatives, open all the certificates,
and The votes shall then be counted.
The constitution is not definite as to
who shall count the votes but was proba-
bly, intended to be. The action Of the
last Congress under the Confed Grafton.
and the action Of the first Congress and
President of the Senate under the Con-
stitution go to show that the intention Of
the Constitution is and was then SO un
derstood to be that the votes shall be
counted by the President of the Senate.
And such would seem to be the proper
course and was the early practice.

And not to be outdone by the Democrats, they
brought cannon. improvised from anvils, into
requisition and gave salutes of guns, and kept up
the celebration till they were satisfied.

Watts declining to act, Cartwright and
Odell, in compliance with the law OF

returns with afidavits stating the facts.

Fancy Versus Table Poultry.

suits Of breeding them for show purposes
only Old fanciers remember when Span
ish without red in its face was never seen,
and when the earlobes of the prize birds
were not quarter the extent they are now .
Can anybody who is not an eligible candi-
date for Earlswood Asylum imagine that
the new lcggy, large faced birds are as good
egg producers or useful as table fowl? If
SO, let them send consignment to the
markets, and see what they will realize.
The old breed were shorter on the leg,
larger in the body, and much more prolific
as layers than those in which everything
has been sacrificed to earlobe and face.
Even the useful red-faced Minorca has come
under the influence Ct exhibitors, who have
bred them with monstrous useless combs,
and tried to degrade them into fancy fowls.
The old Observation-Disclosures equare
bodied, and small l-honed, with every apti-
tude to lay on white fat under thin, fine,

legged, heavy, big-boned bird, that shows

Nervous people.

A conglomeration O. tragical and COM
ical things may be enumerated as the pei
implements Of nervous people. As class,
they are never happy-they do not cove!
that peacefulness which is usually acquired
by purely philosophical discipline, but
despise and ridicule all who contritnte to
the arr of governing their tempers solely
BY calm or reasonable reflection. They
are, in truth, very unkind and very curious
when they ought to be concilitory and use
fnl. Many nervous people-except, OF
course, the rheumatic circle, or the mar
tyrs to pills and potions-are occasionally
prophetic, and decidedly fond of domestic
warfare. Woe be unto the pantalconed
individual who might cross their path
when the full power of nervous dictation
is being exhibited; he would be frightened,
indeed, with not only genuine but terrific
household thunder-and as for prophecy
he would then learn that his destiny will
be to partake, finally, Of the dramatic pro-
perties of remote but sudoritic atmos-
phere.
Nervous people, in fact, cannot COM
mand more than limited share of public
indulgence-they are so arbitrary in their
views upon personal rights, and SO fond OF
creating unnecessary trouble-so tickle,
also, and so determined to be disagreeable,
that they seldom escape from harsh COM
ments and social opposition. Even when
they condescend to assert that their nerv-
ousness-an ingenious name for irritabili-
tv-is the cause of their peculiar behavior,
they yet cling to the questionable privi-
lege of exercising its influence, no matter
who it offends, or who it may endanger.
Furthermore, nervous people are exces-
sivery distrustful; they are sometimes
found listening secretly (behind door, or
over pair of balusters) to every word OF
complaint uttered by their victims, and in
this particular their attitude is certainly
comical. They are, herhaps, startled with
the expression that they are really dement,
ed or stubborn, or selfish or cruel; then
their minis are aroused with new senti-
ments overfowing with revenge and sar-
casm. To subdue Temporarily" the furi-
GUS whims of nervous people, without pre-
scriptive aid of an apothecary or physician
is job entitled to the most Mechanical in
vestigat:on. 1t has been proved, however,
that if nervous man is allowed to act out
the unnatural tendencies of his disposition,
and those tendencies have been brought in
to existence by misfortunes, or some here
ditary disease, he will retreat much sooner
into the realms of repentance than if he
were threatened with chastisement Of some
sort or other. The force Of shame is, in
short, the only practical annihilator Of
nervous indiscretions. - "Freedman's
Journal"
