How to Color Butter.

The best coloring for butter is good
mess Of corn chopped with cut hay. My
butter Is a rich yellow all the year
round from this food and 1 have no
Aiderney or any other fancy stock, but
common cattle, which give an abundant
supply of milk and butter: good food is
the secret. If farmers feed on dry fod-
der and straw, and want yellow butter,
they must use what some of my Alder
ney friends dO-a small quantity of
annatio, costing ten cents an ounce,
enough for several hundred pounds of
butter. Dissolve in a little warm cream;
add few grains of soda, which develops
the peculiar yellow principle of all the
coloring matter for butter.

The Texas Cattle Prince.

A paragraph that Mr.. King, of Texas,
the largest owner of cattle In the world,
has lately sent 10000 cattle to market
and that seventy herdsman were re-
quired to care for them, has called atten-
tion to Mr.. Kings career, which is
most remarkable one.
The name of this Texas millionaire,
says the Columbus, Ga, Enquirer, is
Richard King. The river men call him
''Maek.'' He was born in New York,
and about the yesr 1910, came from
Pittsburg to the Chattahoochee river as
steward on the steamboat Tallapoosa.
We are told that in those days, and years
after, the average life of steamers on our
river was three to four years, and that
it was customary for the captains, who
resided i'm the West, to carry their boats
to Pittsburg for the summer for repairs,
and return Ina the fall. They received
enough freight on the round trip to pay
expenses. IT was the era of large float
ing palaces, s,side-wheelers, now superseded
by light draught stern-wheelers. There
were no railroads. Everything went to
Apaiaehicola, and river men made barrels
of money.
Mr.. King in the position of steward
piled the river several years. One
gentleman remembers he was second
cook in l843. Later he went to Tampa,
Florida, and in a short time he was
engaged i'm service on Government boats.
Returning 20 Columbus, he became
striking pilot under Captains Charlie
Brockway and Wingate. Altogether he
was on our rivers some seven or eight
years in every subordinate positions.
About the middle of 1S46 he, with Mr..
John Sealey and others, went to Texas,
and he became a pilot on the Rio Grande,
on the steamer Corvette, commanded
by Captain Kennedy. Engaging in
speculation soon made him partner
He bought rancho, and the property
increasing year by year, he now counts
his stock by the hundreds of thousands
and his possessions by millions. He
owns magnificent residence in Western
Texas, and miles OF the best land in the
State. He continues as a steamboat
owner.
The poor steward of thirty years ago
is among the moneyed princes OF the
land. Fact is more marvellous than
fiction. He has now a large family, and
is giving his children the best of educa-
tions. Mr., King is very kind, friendly
and generous to his friends Of the days
of yore" One visited Texas since the
war, and he gave hinfNhalf fine steam
boat, and all he entertains with hospi-
table welcome. They still call him
Mack.
His wealth is estimated from two to
seven millions.
He wrote one of his friends since the
war that he had just finished building a
fence 40 miles in length, and that it cost
him 81 600 a mile. Those who know
say cattle increase in value one-third
every year.
Here is man of brilliant success.
When on our river he was not noted for
special economy, but had his fun like
the 'otner ooys, ana spent his money
as freely. 1t is one of those instances
where brains and pluck see the oppor-
tunity, take advantage of it, roll up
their sleeves, go in and win. The OPEN
ing was Texas, the time the Mexican
war, the man found both and found
there was millions in it. He partly,
though. drifted into enormous luck.

There is general complaint about the
physical degeneration of the race, but the
evil is attributed by specialists to different
causes, each representing certain evil which
he is engaged in attacking or speculating up
on, as the worst. Some physicians tell US
that the corset is sending the world to de-
struction; the temperance men say distilled
liquor is undermining the human system );
and others think tobacco, coffee, tea, and the
too liberal use of drugs in medicine are grand
debilitators. But then ii is with the physical
as the moral condition; there is an irresist-
able tendency to make complaint about sup
posed degeneracy, without going to the trouble
to verify the facts. Assertion is within the
convenient reach of everybody: historical
truth is often net to be obtained without
long and costly search. There is no fact
better established than that as compared
with savages, the most luxurious nations of
our time, those that ir dulge most freely in
such vices as the use OF corsets, brandy. to-
bacco and calomel, are physically, morally
and Intellectually decidedly superior to the
savages who do without them They live
longer, do more living in the same time, en-
joy life more, and are better in every respect
as class.

Traces of the Lost Atlantis.
(FrOln the New York Tribune.


A few years ago the ingenuity of historical
students was largely applied to the task OF
disproving the old myths, traditions, ana
records The tale of Troy divine, the very
existence of Homer, the founding OF Rome
by Romulus, and at least dozen other prom
inent recorded occurrences that mankind had
accepted a. facts were whitfield down into
legendary nothingness by those sharp and
incredu}ous investigators. The tendency OF
the researches Of the present day is precisely
the reverse. What the explorations at Has
sarlk and Myken@ are doing for Homcric
localities and heroes, fossil botany and deep
sea soundings may accomplish tor the lost
island of Atlantis, of which the tradition is
preserved in the ''Tim9us' OF Plato 1t is
described as a land beyond the pillars OF
Hercules, where dwclt powerful race OF
people who bore sway over Africa as far as
Egypt. The island with its inhabitants was
said TO have been afterward submerged by
earthquakes. Unger, botanist of distinction,
in 1860 advanced the theory that the eXten-
sion of the tertiary flora between the Eastern
and Western Hemispheres could be best eX-
planned on the hypothesis that the lost island
of Atlantis furnished the pathway to the
spread of the fossil plants. The recent sound
ings made during the Challenger's voyage,
supplementing similar work OF other expedl-
tions, give evidence that there is a ridge in
the Atlantic, coming to the surface in the
islands known as the Azores, St. Pauls, AS
cension, and Tristan d'Acunha. The ridge
is of a curved shape; its northern extremity
connects with the photographic plateau be-
tween Ireland and Newfoundland, about mid
way" thence it tends somewhat west of
south till it connects with South America
near the mouths of the Amazon then with a
very irregular shape and stretching far to the
southwark in mid ocean, it eventually reaches
the African coast in S. lat. 10 degrees. The
theory that this tract may have been the sub
merged Atlantis was advocated by w. Stephen
Mitchell in recent scientific lecture at South
Kensington, and page is given by Nature to
map of this hypothetical land.

A present Archbishop of Dublin, the gif-

the Study of Words, is not in very robust
health, and has been for many years appre-
hensive of paralysis. At recent dinner in
Dublin, given by the Lord-Lieutenant of
Ireland, His Grace sat on the right of his
hostess, the Duchess of Abercorn. In the
midst of the dinner the company was start
led by seeing the Archbishop rise from his
seat, and still more startled to hear him ex-
claim, in dismal and sepulchral tone, 1T

Napoleon 4. and CZar Alexander.

Alexander wrote to Napoleon: Il offer
you the half Of Europe, will help you to
obtain it, secure you in the possession OF it;
and all ask in return is the possession OF
single straight, which is also the key to my
house." Napoleon, scowling to OMeara, in
his ''Voice from st. Helena" replied thus:
''ln the course of a few years Russia will
have COnstantinople, the greater part OF Tur-
key, and all of Greece. This l hold to be as
certain as it it had already taken place. AL
most all the cajoling and tlattering which
Alexander practiced toward me was to gain
my consent to effect this object. would not
consent, forseeing that the equilibrium OF
Europe would be destroyed. In the natural
course of things, in few years Turkey must
fall to Russia. The greatest part OF her pop
ulation are Greeks, whom you may say are
Russians. The powers it would injure, and
who would oppose it, are England, France,
Prussia and Austria. 1t will be very easy for
Russia to engage Austria's assistance by CIV
ing her Servia and other provinces bordering
on the Austrian dominions which extend to-
ward Constantinople. The only hypothesis
with sincerity vii! ue in order to prevent
this. But even this alliance will not avail
France, England and Prussia united cannot
prevent it. Russia and Austria can at any
}ime effect it. Once mistress of CONSTANT
nople. Russia gets all the commerce of the
Mediterranean, becomes a great naval power,
and God knows what may happen. She quar-
re]s with you (England), marches off to India
an army Of seventy thousand good soldiers,
which to Russia is nothing, and hundred
thousand canajAe, Cossacks, and others, and
England loses India Above all the other
powers Russia is the most to be feared, espe-
cially by you. Her soldiers are braver than
the Austrjans, and she has means of raising
as many as she pleases. In bravery the French
and English soldiers are the only ones TO he
compared with them. All this foresaw. l
sec into fnturity further than any other, and
wanted to establish barrier against those
barbarians by re-establishing the kingdom of
Poland, and putting Poniatowski at the head
OF it as King; but your imbeciles of minis
ters would not consent. A hundred years
hence shall be praised, and Europe, espe-
cially England, will lament that l did not
succeed. When they see the finest countries
in Europe overrun and prey to those north
ern barbarians they will say, ':Napoleon was

Measles i'm Pigs.

Pigs are subject to disease called measles,
which is supposed to render the flesh un-
wholesome. The measles are very prevalent
though seldom fatal. and if not checked, af-
tect the grain of the meat, which may CON-
monty be seen in the shops of faded color,
and the flesh punctured, as it were, with
small holes. The commencement of the dis
ease appears in languor and decline of the
appetite, followed by small pustules in the
throat. together with red and purple eruptions
more distinct after death than during the Life
of the animal. By aid of the microscope it
has been ascertained that the measles is q
larval cessode, or in other words, one of the
sexually immature ages of development of a
tape 34nsa solsums-a frequent human
guest, derived from the eating of underdone
pork.
Swine, whose habits are less cleanly than
those of horned cattle, do not enjoy the same
immunity as these, and in them the measly
condition may assume abnormous proper
tions. On the other hand, swine will undergo
larger amount of parasitism without display
ing those external evidences of suffering
which other animals are apt to betray under
similar circumstances. BY the aid of a
microscope or with the assistance of power
fully magnifying pocket lens the distinctive
characters of the various meat and pork
measles may be readily made ou:. Indeed,
the naked eye alone is in most cases sufficient
to determine the nature of spots and specks
in meat and pork.
1t is idle to talk of cure in disease of this
nature. Generally speaking, even if the ami
mails be in health, small quantity of nitre
and sulphur occasionally mixed up with their
food, besides stimulating their appetite, will
frequently prevent disease; neither can we
too much insist on cleanliness, nor upon the
punctual regularity of feeding at stated times
This injunction, if followed, will do more for
the preservation of health in pigs than the
administration of any specific after disease
has decidedly shown itself.

a ParjsIan SJ0ry Of Diamonds.
From q Paris Paper.]

A necklace that was last seen on the neck
of charming lady was the object of univer-
~al admiration. Some time ago gentleman
took this same necklace to the late Mr.. Moi
ana, asking him to buy it, and to substitute
false diamonds in their place. His wife, he
said, would never know the difference. Mr..
M0iana, who had known the wife from child
hood, and VINO was friend of her family,
asked twenty-four hours to reject before
concluding the bargain. In that time he
went and told the story to the lady's grand
mother who gave Moiana $4,000 to give the
husband, telling him to give back the real
necklace, but not to mention the truth. This
was done. Some months later it was the
wife who took the necklace to Moiana, ask
ing him to buy it and to substitute false dia-
monds in the place of the real ones. ''My
husband will never know the difference,
she said. Again visit to the grandmother,
who again gave f2, 900 to keep the diamonds
in the family, and as both husband and wife
still think that the diamonds are false there
is no fear of the necklace being resold.

The deadlest foe to love is not change or
misfortune, nor jealousy, nor anything that
flows from passion, or emanateS from fortune
the deadliest foe to it is custom.-Bulacer.
Some women appreciate this warning, and
never suffer the enemy TO gain foothold. 1t
is nothing more than carelessncss, apathy
and Indifference. Other women marry, ac-
cept home and settle down as mere fixtures
pieces of furniture, antOmatOns-With the
idea that possession alone is sufficient to
chain love TO its righfI sphere. Mistaken
fancy! A husband seeks to be entertained
full us well as when he was lover; he is
equally worthy of it. BY overlooking this
fact a wife may cast from her pearl of
priceless value. To retain love you must
fascinate it, never suffer one vulnerable point
to escape it. A flower may be admired for q
time, but it is easily superseded or forgotten.
1t has not the subtle soul Of charm with
which to stir the chords of the heart, to en-
chant the ear with sweet melody. 1t pleases
the sense alone, it does not reach the spiritual
essence. If men do not find companionship
at home, they will seek it elsewhere. The
presence of the domestic heerthstone must
not allow one link of the golden fetters wound
around his heart to break. Appearances are
by no means to be slighted. There is much
in wearing ef favorite colors, in taking ad-
vantage of women's special privilege, which
is to look as captivating as possible but
there is morein the cunning diplomacy of her
ch!ef en- aid, weapon and defence-the tongue

And troops of friends whose fair deeds prove
That God like natures still have birth
Here, on this sin-encOmpassed earth.
And we have memories-Oh, how dear!
That grow more precious year by year
Memories of loved ones passed away,
Whose tender teachings with us stay
And give us daily strength to bear
The Ills and burdens all must share.
As misers hoard and hide their gold,
So we in secret count and fold

We're poor in words to testify
Our thanks to that benignant Power
Who grants us such glorious dover.
All, yes all words are poor and weak
Our grateful reverent love to speak;
But as the lOwlest flower that blooms
Gives what it has-its soft perfumes
TO the lone wild before it dies,
Though none be near to drink its sighs;
And as the smallest woodland bird
Is by holy impulse stirred
TO send its song Of rapture round,
Though never mortal hear the sound,
So we-my heart and las they

And though our effort may be vain.
Though none may heed our humble strain,
We yet must sing, and, singing, try
To speak our gladness ere we die.
