English Method of Packing Butter
Prints for Market.

THE Derbyshire method of sending
butter to market is quite different from
anything practiced in this country.
The dairy farmers put their butter up
in half-pound prints neatly stamped.
Instead of boxes or pals for packing,
they use stout willow baskets. These
are made especially for the purpose,
and are arranged to receive from TWEEN
ty to thirty prints in each layer, and
several layers of prints are placed one
above the other. The layers of prints
Just fit the basket in rows five by six
or four by five, so as to avoid shuck-
ing and bruising by moving from their
position us placed i'll the basket. The
baskets are very nicely made, the sides
rising up from the bottom perpendic-
ularly, and being made sufficiently
strong to retain true and even shape.
From fifteen to thirty POUNDS Of butter
are packed in each basket, according
to the size of the dairy or the amount
of butter to be sent to market from
time to time. In other words, the
baskets are made of different sizes to
accommodate the dairy, and they are
completely filled with prints when sent
to market. The following is the man
ner of packing: First, fine. white,
dry cloth is laid over the basket, and
upon this is placed wet one of fine
white cotton. They lay dock leaves
over the bottom. The dock leaf has a
stalk running through its length, thus
rendering the back of the leaf uneven,
while the face of the leaf is fiat. The
stalk, therefore, must be carefully
drawn off with knife, care being
taken that the leaf is not split. Now
wet the prepared leaves and place them
in the bottom of the basket, and upon
them place a layer of butter prints,
then a layer of leaves, and so on until
the basket is filed, finishing with a
layer of leaves. The ends of the cloths
are now turned down over the whole.
and it is complete. The basket should
hold five half-pound prints in depth.
In this way the butter goes to market
in the neighboring city cor village,
sweet, rosy. and in firm condition, the
same as it leaves the dairy. Rural

monstrates what this crop has cost z
No one can do it who does not keep an
exact account of expenses daily.
Labor, both of man and beast,
is worth so much; that is, it
costs SO Inuchs Manure is worth so
much; the wear and tear of tools is
another item of cost: lumber, nails
and other materials consumed in the
processes of the business of the farm
must all be accounted fol. If any one
expects to prosper at farming. AS ac-
curate and minute must be the account
of the receipts. The cost of living may
be exactly ascertained: and if a fnsner
will once find out just what his living
costs him he will be for once surprised.
The notion is quite prevalent that
farmers live very cheaply; and this
has led many a young farmer to be-
lieve he can make money very rapidly
without any business system. When
he reaches fifty years he begins to get
undeceived, and learns that his living
costs something.
A man may be always busy but be
always poor, and he wonders at it.
The truth is, he mistakes mere activity
for calculation and systematic bust
ness. A man who fires at mark and
don't hit it, wastes his powder and
ball and time. A weathercock swings
and whirls constantly, but there he is
from years end to years end. 1t is a
miserable distemper, to be always on a
whirl of activity without any rule of
life, without any rule of bust
ness to guide. If man has sys-
tenn and rules and keeps himself
posted every day, so that he knows
Just how his business is going
whether he is losing or making-such
a man will succeed, sure.-Detroit

BE not SlothfuI In Business.

Those violate this precept who have a
lawful calling, a proper business, but
are slothful in it. When people are in
business for themselves, they are in
less risk of transgressing this injunc-
ton, though even then it sometimes
happens that the hand is not diligent
enough to make its owner rich. But il
is when engaged in business not for
ourselves, but for others. or for God,
that we are in greatest danger of neg
lecting this rule. The servant who has
no pleasure in his work, who does no
more than wages can buy or legal
agreement enforce; the shopman who
does not enter con dmore into his en-
ployer's interest, and bestir himself to
extend his trade as he would strive
were the concern his own; the scholar
who trifles when his teachers eye is
elsewhere and who is content if he can
only learn enough to escape disgrace;
the teacher who is satisfied if he can
only impart decent quantum of in
struction, and who does not labor for tine
mental expansion and spiritual well-be-
ing of his pupils as he would for those
of his own children; the magistrate or
civic functionary who is only careful to
escape public censure, and who does
not labor to make the community richer,
or happier, or better for his admins
tration; every one, in short, who per-
forms the work which God or his breth-
ren have given him to do in hireling
or perfuncto, manner, is violator of
the divine inj' .tion, "Be not siothful
in business"
There are sc many persons of dull
and languid tui L. They trail sluggishly
through life, as if some painful viscus,
some adhesive slime, were clogging
every movement, and making their
snail path a waste of their very sub
stance. They do nothing with that
healthy alacrity, that gleesome energy
which bespeaks sound mind even more
than a vigorous body; but they drag
themselves to the inevitable task with
demonstrating reluctance, as if every
joint were set i'm a socket of torture, or
as if they expected the quick flesh to
cleave to the next xtimplement of industry
they handled. Having no wholesome
love for work, no joyous delight in duty,
they do everything grudgingly, in the
most superficial manner, and at the last
moment. Others there are who, If you
find them at their post, you will find
them doing at it. They are sort of

French Love Of Flowers.

An American in Paris writes rs fol-
lows: ''The French woman must have
her daily supply Of flowers, even if she
is compelled to stint her table to obtain
them. When she purchases the sub
stantials for her breakfast she is sure to
take home with her bouquet of flowers.
You will scarcely pass a window at an
inhabitable house, where from the base
ment to the pens erected upon the roofs.
six or seven stories from the ground,
there is not display of flower pots.
Having secured quarters high up in the
louvre we can look down upon the up
per stories of the neighboring houses, in
each room of which there appears to be
a separate family. They seem TO be
tailors, and at day ybreak in the morning
the men are plying their needles and
the women preparing for the breakfast
table. The cultivation of flowers in all
the palace gardens and squares, and
even by the street sides, in the Champs
Elysees is carried to perfection. The
Luxembourg garden is the finest dis
play OF flowers cultivated in the open
air | have ever witnessed, and il is
thronged every evening by admiring
visitors. So also at the Jsrdin des Plan
ties, which we visited this afternoon. il
was crowded with visitors, and the
flowers attracted more attention than
the great exhibition of the cattle of the
field, the bird of the air, the beast of the
jungle and the fish of the sea which are
here collected and open TO the insPec-
ton of the public"

Light, says Scribner's, is one of the
active agencies in enlivening and beau
tifying a home. We all know the value
of sunlight as health-giving agent to
the physical constitution, and il is not
less so TO our moral and spiritual ma
lures. We are more active under its
influence, can think better and act more
vigorously.
Let us take the airiest, choicest and
sunniest room in the house TOR our liv-
ing room, the workshop where brain
and body are built up and renewed. And
let us there have bay window no mat
ter how plain in structure, through
which the good twin angels of nature
sunlight and pure air-can freely en-
ter.
Dark rooms bring depression of spir-
its, imparting sense of confinement,
of isolation, of powerlessness, which is
chilling to energy and vigor, hnt in
light rooms is good cheer
Even in gloomy house, where walls
and furniture are dingy and brown, you
have but to take down the heavy cur
tains, open wide the window, stand
brackets on either side, set flower pots
on the brackets and let the warm sun
stream freely in, to bring health to our
bodies and joy to our souls.
