BITTER CREAM.-Cream becomes bitter
by keeping it too long before it is
churned. A butter-maker says: ''ln
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 a single cow kept, L have known the
bitter TO show on account of the small
quantity of cream accumulating. The
Summer practice is reversed in the
Winter. There being too little milk to
require frequent churning then-say
one, and sometimes two churnings
week-we account readily for the evils
complained of. The fore part of the
season, when milk is in greater guam
tity, necessitating more frequent churn-
ing, hear but little complaint. Itmat-
ters not how good the feed is-if the
tenderest hay and roots are added, max
ing an approach TO summer feed; nor
how clean the milk is kept, the most
perfect milk if set 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, but all
to no purpose. So, in the purest air,
in all temperatures, it is the same"

PldtO's Cubicdl Edrth.-Plato was a
mathematician and excOgitated the uni
verse out of the depths of geOmetrical
consciousness. In explaining how
things came about, he said that matter
in itself had no form or properties, but
God in the beginning invested it with
a sort of triangular constitution. After
ward, taking certain number of these
primitive triangles, he composed the
four primary elements. Fire, the most
subtitle, is made up of the smallest num-
Der of triangles, and has the figure of a
pyramid. Water-particles are solids
of twenty faces, while the earth-ele-
ment is cubical or bounded by right
angled triangles. The cube with its
SIX equal faces appeared to Plato to be
the most perfect of solids, and therefore
most suitable for the earth, which was
to stand in the centre of the universe.

Pdnthers as Seed Distributors. 1T is
well known that bees carry pollen from
flower to flower, and that eggs of ma
rine animals are often carried long
distances in the stOmachs of aquati
birds. A very curious instance OF thi
kind, showing how vegetable species
may be diffused by means which no
botanist, however acute, would be Ike
ly to think of, is mentioned by Mr.. AL
fred Snee, who states that, attached to
the skin of panther recently shot in
India. were found numerous seeds each
of which had two perfect hooks, mani
festly designed TO attach themselves TO
foreign bodies. AS the panther moved
about it collected the seeds on the skin
and carried them about wherever it
went; but when it rubbed against the
shrubs, it of necessity brushed some off
and thus distributed them. One of the
seeds produced handsome plant, and
beautiful clusters of tubular flowers. 1t
was Immediately recognized to be the
Ndrtynid didRdra-a plant which, al
though introduced into England as far
back as 1871, ha scarcely ever been cul-
tivated, although it has been commen-
ted on by botanists and other writers.

JOey.-A Maltese spanial, named joey,
was "a very wary and careful watch
dog. He would not go To sleep If any
door was left unfastened at night, or

But one rough, windy, cold night in
mid winter, the family thought him
sorely wanting in courage.
1t was about midnight, when loud
noise a rush and bang, awake every
one in the house.
A thorough search was made, but
nothing could be found different from
usual, and no traces of "a Tobber could
be seen, Every door and window was
fastened.
joey utterly refused to help in the
search. He had jumped into his basket
almost directly after he was aroused,
and seemed to think the matter was not
worth notice.
He was taken out and put into the
garden, bnt he sat down and would not
move step.
The family laughed and scolded him.
Joey is a coward" Joey is lazy"
Joey is no use for, watch dog"
The next morning, they noticed that
the Old-fashiOned tall clock did not
strike the hours as usual The cord
had broken, letting the weight fall.
This was what had resounded through
the house, and the dog knew there was
no danger or trouble, and no reason to
move from his comfortable bed

Little Hdrry.-"Are you sure mother
said We might spend the change out of
this fifty cents, Harryf" asked little
Jennie Green, as she and her brother
walked along together TO the corner
grocery to do an errand for their wild
isowed mother.
"Surel why of course Pm sure, didn't
you hear mother calling after me your
selfP-
"Yes. I heard her, but | thought she
said, Take care of the change Let me
run back. Harry, and ask her, I'll catch

ceryf

mother didn't say, spend the change
she saId something like IL; any way I'm
going to spend it for candy, and she
can't get it back very well after eat
the candy"
Poor, little, timid, conscientious Jen-
ME had her doubts doubts about the
propriety of such a procedure, for she
knew well how hard her poor mother
had to work to make ends meet. How
ever, she kept her thoughts To herself
till Harry was about to buy candy with
the ten cents of change, when she said,
please, brother, only buy half, L will
20 without and take my five cents home
to mother, for she may need it.
There you go again. little preacher.
Take your five cents. baby, and go home
to your mother: I'm going on the lake
To have a skate; and look here, if moth
er asks you about the missing five
cents, tell her you have lost it,"
.''HalloO, Frank Brown. Is that you,
old fellow Come along, and let us have
a good Old-fashiOned skate tonight.
Hurry up Jennie. and go home but
don't tell mother where I've gone to-"
Poor little Jennie! that was the last
time she heard the sound of her reek-
less brothers voice for he went down
through hole in the ice into the lake
with all his sins upon him. His poor
mothers prayers have been full of
thankfulness to God who took him, her
only son, before he had broken her
heart altogether.
Be careful, dear little children, how
you begin to steal pennies from your
mothers, for the lies you will have to
tell to cover up your thefts will harden |
your hearts till you gradually fall into
the pitfalls of SIN and temptation as
poor little Harry did into the lake.
