Churns and Churniug,

The correct principle for churn is one
which brings the butter by conclusion
or a blow and not by friction; that
operates easily and is convenient to wash
and remove the butter from and to keep
clean. Churning cream to make good
butter is not so simple process as some
may think. 1t must be churned at the
proper time and at the proper tempera-
ture, and the churn should be stopped
as soon as the cream is broken, but be-
fore the butter has been gathered in
large balls. In warm weather it is of
great Importance TO watch the process
slowly and to notice just when this
change is to take place At this time
add enough cold water (not ice) to re-
duce the temperature of the mass to
about tifty-six or fifty-eight degrees and
then complete the churning, which will
be as soon as the butter is in a granulat-
ed form, with particles about the size of
peas. Then draw off the buttermilk and
dash in cold water, repeating the wash
ing until the water drawn off appears
clear. Now take out layer of butter
into the tray, and sprinkle on finely
sltted salt, at the rate of about an ounce
OF salt to the pound (more or less as con
sumers may wish). Then take out
another layer of butter and salt as be-
fore. After the butter is sailed, set it
away for about three hours for it "to
take SALT and "harden the grain"
Now work it a little with wooden pad
die, and set it away again until next
day, when it will need but little working
before preparing for market. By hand
ling iii this way you will get a clean,
bright article, with perfect or unbroken
grain, which will keep sweet whether
consumed Immediately or packed down
for future marketing.

Harvest Drinks.

At this Season of the year it is common
to find III the columns of or agricultural
exchanges numerous receipts for harvest
drinks" which, in many cases, are
strongly recommended, when any medi-
cal man could say that they were at any
time useless and often injurious, and at
no time more likely to be 50 than in
harvest. No doubt we shall differ with
many of our readers on this point, but
after passing through many warm sum-
mefs, and having beef carried in more
than once, we can testify that there is
nothing better than good pure. water,
and that not too cold. II not too cold
thefe is but little danger Of drinking too
much, for the surplus soon finds its way
out of the system through the pores Of
the skin, especially of scythe or cradle
is swung vigorously for an hour or two.
Many OF the much-lauded drinks, favored
with ginger, sugar, acids, and often
worse, have tendency to disorder the
digestive apparatus at time when it is
most liable TO arrangement from other
and unavoidable causes Pure water (if
cold enough without ice all the better
used whenever the craving is felt, but
not too large amounts, will, in the end,
prove most satisfactory, and be least
dangerous,

From the Rockland Courier
One of our dry goods clerks called
around to see his girl the other evening.
She observed that he appeared very rest
less, and as he had been paying her
pretty sharp attention she shifted a pro-
posal. She determined to assist the
young man.
George, DEAR" she said in sweet
voice, what's the matter with you this
EVENING""
"There amt nothing the matter" re-
marked George, twisting uneasily in his
chair.

great interest.
ooh no there amt" returned
George; "what makes you think so?"
" You appear so restless" she explain
ed; you act as if there was something
on your mind"
at amt on my mind,'s observed
George; cts" and then he suddenly
caught himself, and stopped.
"What is it-where is it, dear?" en-
treated the young miss; won't you tell
your darling?"
It's on my back" blurted George
with an effort
"On your back?" repeated the young
miss, in establishment.

4 Woman Mason.

There Is story current in regard to a
lady who, a number of years ago, was
made a Freemason in England under
very peculiar circumstances, she having
overheard SO much of the work that it
was thought best by those who discovered
her hidden near the lodge to initiate her
in order to close her mouth. The Lon
don Freemason is authority for stating
that another lady has been recently adj
mitted to the mysteries. The following
Is the story: Countess Hadich has
been received as Freemason in a
Hungarian lodge under the grand orient
of Hungary. The countess is a highly
educated lady, and having studied and
become well versed in Masonic literature.
she was regularly proposed and seconded
in an open lodge, balloted for, and in due
time was duly initiated. The grand
orient of Hungary, however, declared
that the initiation is null and void on
the ground that woman is disqualified
from being Freemason; and the curious
question now arises whether, as the coun-
tess was actually initiated, she can be re-
fused admission to her lodge. y Youuq

A CURE FOR NASAL CATARRH.-
Make weak brine and snuff lip the hos
trils, and let it run down in the throat
also, wet the head with the same. If
persisted in sufficient length of time, it
will etfectually cure the nasal catarrh.
1t IS said by physician that the various
mixtures sold as "catarrh remedies" in
many cases are only salt disguised SO as
not to be known.
MOTHS IN CARPETs.-A good way to
kill them is to take a coarse towel, and
wiring it out of clean water. Spread it
smoothly on the carpet, then iron it dry
with good not iron, repeating the oper-
alton on all suspected places, and those
least used. 1t does not injure the carpet
in the least. 1t is not necessary to press
hard, heat and steam being the agents
and they do the work etfectually on
worms and eggs.
CURRANT ,JELLY.-Mash the currants
with the hand; put them on the fire and
bring to scald; strain out the Juice and
measure it; place over the fire and boil
three minutes; have granulated sugar
previously heated in the oven, and add
a pound OF sugar to a pint of juice

Immediately remove; pour into glass jars
or tumblers; when cold lay brandy paper

coffee sugar, pound of butter, 5 eggs, 8
lemons grated and the juice; boil all to-
gether till thick, and spread between the

needed for one and put the remainder in
a jelly-glass and cover as you would any
jelly, and it will be ready for another
cake when you choose to make it.

start " quick, vigorous growth. The

Discovery of Rival Yosemite.

A new grove of giant trees, recently
discovered 100 miles south of the famous
Yosemite, is just explored and described.
1t is on a line with the other grow, g.
900 feet in altitude. Instead Of a small
cluster of thirty or forty trees there are
10000 trees, covering six miles square.
Besides several thousand old trees, whose
age is estimated at from ], 200 to 1000
years, there are thousands of young ones
from one hundred to one thousand wears
old, and full of vigor. The older trees,
decapitated by storms and by weight of
winter SHOWS on their bushy tops, are
mostly overtopped by the juniors. Some
of these fallen trees, three thousand to
four thousand years old, have revealed
underneath the buried bodies of ances-
trail sequoras of smaller size, which grew
there eight thousand years ago-say
thirty feet in diameter. Large lakes
and waterfalls are found along the route.
The attractions are so much superior to
the Yosemite, that it is contemplated to /
extend the route of travel to embrace
this interesting circuit.
