4 couple from the country came
here to be married. and never were sci
back in their lives as when they found
it impossible to secure the services of
a clergyman, those distinguished gem
tlemon having gone on the usual sum
mer jaunts. They travelled all over
town, footsore and weary, and as the
twilight approached began to show
signs of exhaustion. "What sort of q
place is this ?" inquired the anxious
and eHpectant bride; great town it
must be when two thoughts with but
a single soul can't find peace Of mind
for want of q minister" He replied
that he thought so too. They we're
not to be cheated out Of their marriage.
however, and finally, after pacing the
streets for many hours. and visiting
deserted houses where clergymen live
when at home, they repaired to the
Office Of Judge Eggleston, Justice Of
the Peace, who performed the legal
functions necessary to make the couple
man and wife. Bless you, my child

With all the nations Of the earJI
| eggs have been a f&y0rito food, and
Iyet even now their value is hardly ap-
Ipreciated. There is no egg of any bird
known that cannot be used for food.
A similarity exists ia the construction
.0f all eggs, since the white portion OF
the yolk is present in every specimen.
.Peculiarities in form, size and color
ARE no tests OF the quality or freshness
oil the eggs OF fowl, for every hen has
an individuality about her own prod
uct; although it is well known that
feeding has a decided influence on the
1avoI and quality of eggs.
Ehe weight of an ordinary fowls
egg is one and ono-balf to two ounces,
whilst chat OF a duck is two to three
ounces; OF the se2-Gull and turkey
three TO four ounces; and that Of the
goose four Go six ounces. Seyenty-four
per cent. Of an egg is water, in which
respect it Is very similar to fish, lean
meat and potatoes. OF the remaining
tWenty-siE per cent. about fourteen is
and about ten per cent. is
fatty matter. The white of the egg
contains no fat, but has more water
and albumen than the yolk, while the
latter contains all the fat and sulphur.
An egg Of average size contains about
TWO hundred grains Of dry substance,
OF which nearly fifty per cent. is nitro
genous, forty per cent. fatty and eleven
per cent. saline matters. In nitro
genous substances the white Of an egg
exceeds that Of all known foods, eX-
cept peas, cheese and poultry.
The shell being porous allows of the
evaporation of the fluids within, and
lir accurnulates in their place thus an
9gg exposed to the air grows lighter

keeping. In solution of one part salt |

One reason why the Americans
fought so desperately and successfully
at Remington 100 years ago this date
was because poor Miss McCrea, q love
iy and betrothed young woman, had
just before been butchered and scalped
in that region by Indians in the en-
ploy Of Burgoyne's army, arousing
every chiyalrous feeling of the Ameri-
can hearts and causing them to cry
aloud for vengeance.

To Make Good Butter,

"a Practical Butter Maker sends
the following to the RJroz Near
YorHer:
Making bad butter is due not SO
much to want OF knowledge on the
part OF butter-makers, as il is to a
want Of personal application Of that
knowledge to all the details of the art
by the farmer or the farmers wife
themselves. To make butter in per-
lection i'll the summer months, a place
Of suitable temperature is the first re-
lquisite, and that the best butter is
made in the spring-hoUse is unQues-
ti0nable. The uniform temperature of
the water should lie Sc and of the
air, about 500 The cream should be
kept in the deepest part Of the spring.
and thoroughly stirred each day; and
sif any detail in the process OF butter
making is OF more importance than am
Other, it is the management of the
cream, for If this is spoiled, all suisse
quent care cannot make good butter
and in order to accomplish this result
three essentials should be observed: It
must be kept in a temperature not
higher than SO Q. Each cream-Dan
must be stirred every day, and it must
be separated from the milk after the
latter has stood not longer than thirty
six hours. Ii q small quantity Of cold
Spring-Watar is then added, it will have
la tendency to raise the cream more
! rapidly.
The cream should be churned at
least once o week. Tile butter should
then be thoroughly washed by churn-
! ing it in cold Water-an operation that
should be several times repeated. This
process is necessary to free the butter
from the butter milk, for If any re-
mains, the ca8eine and sugar contained
in it are subject to decomposition; the
! former becomes rancid, and the latter
| is converted into acetic acid, and thus
the butter becomes q poor sort of
grease.
The butter should next be salted
and allowed to stand until the next
day, that the salt may be thoroughly
| dissolved; it should then lie finally
worked, and in an artistic manner
done up into packages OF desired shape
and weight. These should always be
meat, for their freshness and beauty
have no small influence on the sale of
the article.
In moulding and working the but
ter, it is important that the hands Of
the maker should not touch it. Wooden
paddles should be used, dexterity with
which can only be acquired with prac-
tic. Butter thus made is truly a
golden luxury, and worthy Of q place
on any table.

FLY-LEAF POEM.

A literary discovery is mentioned in
large sentences by the editor Of the

gentlemen, calling at the house Of a
citizen of K0komo on q business er-
rand, saw an old book, and ON the fly
leaf a p0em Here the narrative
grows romantic. The gentleman of
Kokomo handed the book to the edi-
tor, politely remarking that it might
be good enough to publish, and that il
we thought so, to take it along" No
ticing the initials, E. A. T., at the bot
tom Of the poem, it struck us that pos
sibly we had run across a !" bonanza"
SO TO speak, and, after reading it, we
asked who it's author was, when he re-
lated the following bit Of interesting
Renaissance: He said he did not
know who the author was, only that
he was young man, that is, he was a
young man when he wrote the lines
referred to. He had never seen him
( himself, but heard his grandfather,
! who gave him the book containing the
verses, tell of the circumstances and
the occasion by which he, the grand
/ father came into possession of the
book. His grandparents kept coun-

small village called Chesterfield, near
Richmond. Va. One night, just before

trapped at the door and asked if he
could stay al night, and was shown to

Of him. When they went to his room
next morning to call him to breakfast
lie had gone away and left the book,
