what its chemical formula probably is,
and how it locks or would look when
isolated, to find it disappear, all at
once, like a will-o'-the-wisp. No doubt
there are ''stlnks" in milk, but no doubt,
also, they are got there from filthy bags
and teats, filthy hands, foul air, and
the like. Pure healthy milk has moth
ing in it that needs to be removed by
ventilation. Ventilate your COW stables,
keep your cows clean, give them good
food and pure water, keep yourself and
your surroundings clean while handling
the product, from the udder TO the
butter-tub, and you will never be trou-
bled with the ''animal odor," Another
ghost has been laid, another "witch"
has disappeared.
WASHING BUTTER.
Abundant experiment has shown that
the natural flavor of butter cannot be
removed by washing 1t with pure water.
Careful manipulation, with the cream
and everything else just right, will make
good butter without washing. But the
extra trouble is wasted.
THE "GRAIN" OF BUTTER.
When the butter has come" and
appears in little irregular masses, from
q pins head to large pea in size, is
the time to draw off the buttermilk and
wash the butter in the churn. This re
moves most of the buttermllk. After
being then gathered and removed from
the churn, worked, washed and sailed
on the butter-worker at the proper tenn
perature, we find upon beaking it, that
it has a granular LOOK. The mass
seems to be made Of little particles with
q slightly giistening appearance. This
Is called the grain" These small
particles are partially kept apart BY
films Of water, (after sailing, this water
becomes brine), and the peculiar tex
ture thus impaired to the butter is a
test of proper manufacture. Over.churn
or ovsr-work it, churn or work it at the
wrong temperature, and the grain is
gone, never to be restored and with it
is gone large percentage of the selling
value of the butter. Enough water
(brine) must be retained to produce this
appearance, with distinguishes 'butter''
from grease" Consequently the
NEST perfect grain is obtained by wash
ing in the the churn before the butter is
gathered"

A party OF young men who went from Sy-
racuse to Brazil to find employment find the
times as dull in that country as in the Uni

position of assistant station agent at For

line of the Dom Pedro railroad, writes to the
Syracuse Courier under date of April that

Life liz Paris.

Half the inhabitants in Paris avoid do
mestic life altogether, sleeping in lodgings
and eating in restaurants, of which there
are great variety. The most common es-
adjustments in Paris are the eating houses,
from the soup-house up to the "swell' res
taurant. The former is nominally a lunch
house, where beef broth is the chief dish,
and very capital broth it is too; but all of
these broth houses furnish in addition a
certain variety OF fish meats and vegetables,
with wine in addition, at a lower propor-
tlonate rate than at a regular restaurant
The grade CT these houses naturally depends
upon the quarter OF the city in which they
are placed. The creameres are ostensibly
cheap milk shops, where one may in the
morning get coffee tea or chocolate, with
steak or an omelette. The customer, on
entering; calls Tor three cents worth of coffee,
for example. and an omelette, with three or
four eggs, as he may prefer. The first class
cafe offers its customers only coffee and rolls
but adds the perusal of the daily
papers. The restaurant differs, In turn,
from all these, because offering tull
meals at ali hours, and, in addition, regular
breakfast and dinner at IL g. m. and at 6
p. m, respectively. The price of the regular
meals is invariably posted in gilt letters on
the street window pares, and stranger with
limited funds can walk down a street and
find restaurant suited to his means, merely
by studying the prices on the windows.
Whatever the quality of the food, however,
the cooking is always sdnlirable-savory and
served hot The custom of feeipg the wait
eTs is an intolerable nuisance; but ss it is by
the fees that hotel and restaurant WATERS are
paid, he who disregards this Medo Persian
law of custom will be made to find out his
mistake-he is a marked man, and will wait
long, on returning to a restaurant whose
customs he has disre gardtd before he re-
ceives attention, and is then served with
cold victuals ard treated with studied DIS
respect. We hope that this custom will
never be followed in our own country.

things, had been long deferred. And so he
rarely had smiles for his home.
Take that home with you, DEAR" whis-
pered Mrs. Lewis, as they moved along the
passage, and before they had Joined the
family. She had an instructive conscious
lapsing into his usual state.
The warning was just in time.
Thank you for the wordsI" said he. 81
will not forget them"
And he did not; but at once rallied him
self, and to the glad surprise of Jenny, Will
and Mary, met them with new face, cover
ed with fatherly smiles, and with pleasant
questions, in pleasant tones of their days
employments. The feelings of children
move in quick transitions. They had not
expected a greeting like this; but the
response was in slant. Little Jennie climb I'd
into her fathers arms. Will came and stood
by his chair, answering in lively tones his
questions, while Mary, older by few years
than the rest, leaned against her fathers
shoulder, and laid her white hand softly
upon his head, smoothing back the dark
hair, just showing a little frost, from his
broad, manly temples.
A pleasant group was this for the eyes of
Mrs. Lewis, as she came forth from her
chamber to the sitting room, where she bad
gone to lay off her bonnet and shawl and
change her dress. Well did her husband un-
ders!and the meaning look she gave him;
and warmly did her beart respond to the
smile he threw back upon her.
Words fitly spoken are like apples of
gold in pictures of silver" said Mr.. Lewis
speaking to her as she came in.
What do you mean by that?' asked
Mary, looking curlously into her fathers
face.
Mother understands replied Mr.. Lewis
smiling tenderly upon his wife.
Something pleasant must have happen
ed" said Mary.
Something pleasant? Why do you say
tbat?" asked Mr.. Lewis.
You and mother look SO happy" replied
the child.
"ADd we have cause to be happy" an
swered the father, as he drew his arm tightly
around her, ''in having three such good
children"
Mary laid her check TO his and whispered
IF you are smiling and happy, dear fatherl
home will be like heaven"
Mr.. Lewis kissed her; but did not reply.
He felt a rebuke in her words. But tue
rebuke did not throw a chill over his feel
ings; it only gave new strength to his pur-
poses.
Don't distribute all your smiles. Keep a
few OF the warmest and brightest for home, "
said Mrs Lewis, as she parted with her bus-
band on the next morning. He kissed her,
but did not promise. The smiles were kept,
however, and evening saw them; though not
for the outside world. Other and many
evenings saw the same cheerful smiles and
the same happy home. And was not Mr.
Lewis a better and happier man? OF course
he was. And so would all men be if they
would take home with them the smiling
| aspect they so often exhibit, as they meet
| their fellow men in business intercourse, ol
| exchange words in passing compliments
Take your smiles aud cheerful words homo
| with you, husbands, fatt ers and brother
| them.

Dried Ernifa.

The demand for dried fruits has been so
stimulated since the American plan of hot
air drying has been perfected, that these pro-
ducts ar. now transported over the civilized
world, but especially to those countries where
fruit is not generally raised, and to newly
settled colonies, particularly mining ones
Dried fruits are now largely used during all
long sea voyages. Between October last and
April England took over 400, 900 bushels,
principally dried apples and peaches. In
fact The industrial population of England,
Germany and Au-tralia are the chief buyers
of these productions.
The immense fruit crop OF the United
States is, much of il, left to go to waste for
the want of drying. In view of the many
simple and cheap processes for drying, this
should no longer be allowed. The fruit
crop OF the United States this year promises
10 be immense. The surplus that can not
be used green should be provided for. 1t
may be utilized with profit, but to do so,
fruit growers should prepare in time to util-
izs it. Will they do SO?

Ashamed to Tell Mother.

trying to tempt him 10 do wrong.
"But you need not tell her; no one will
know anything about it,"
81 would know all about myself, and I'd
feel mighty mean if couldn't tell mother"
Its pity you wasn't girl. The ides of
boy running and telling bis mother every
little thing!'
You may laugh il you want to, said the
noble boy" but I've made up my mind
never, as long as ! live, to do anything 1

Noble resolve, ana which will make almost
any life true and useful. Let it be the rule
ot every boy and girl to do nothingo which
they would be ashamed to tell their mother.

CUPID AND DEATH.
BY LEE o. HARRIS.

AS Cupid strayed one sultry day,
Oppressed with heat and short OF breath,
He wandered from the path, and lay
Asleep within the cave of Death.
The quiver at his side tipped DER,
And all his arrows tumbled out.
And lay where Death upon the floor
Had strewn his glittering darts about.
At length he woke; but who can tell
The mischief in that moment done?
He grasped the arrows where they fell,
And some were Deaths, and some his own
And now he speeds his mingled darts,
But nnds them oft unfaithful prove,
And carry death to youthful hearts
That should have felt the shafts of love.
And Death himself oft sees with rage
His arrows fail to stop the breath,
And wound with love the heart OF age,
That should have felt the shaft of Death.

Getting Down to ft.

The New York Times already admits that
John Sherman and Stanley Matthews can
not be defended by the republican party.
We venture to predict that the Times, which,
with all its partisanship. is too sensibly con-
Quoted to run its editorial head against any
stone walls, will throw the whole fraudur
lent gang overheard in less than one month
from date. and take the ground that the only
salvation for the republican party is in re-
pudiating from beginning to end both the
transactions that made Hayes de facto presi-
dent and the authors of the transactions.

A GENTLE WORD is NEVER LOST.

"a gentle word is never lost,
Oh, never then refuse one;
1t cheers the heart when tempest tossed,
And lulls the cares that bruise one;
1t scatters sunshine DER our way,
And turns our thorns to roses;
II changes weary night to day,
And hope and love discloses.
"a gentle word Is never lost
Thy fallen brother needs it;
How easy and how small the cost
With peace and comfort speed it;
Then drive the shadow from thy cheek,
smile can well replace 1t;
Our voice is music when we speak,
With gentle words to grace it."

PETS PUNISHMENT.
BY AsBY sTERRY.

o. If my love offended me,
And we had words together,
To show her / would master her,
I'd whip her with a feather.
If then she, like a naughty girl,
Would tyranny declare it,
I'd give my pet cross OF pearl,
And make her always bear it.
II still she tried to sulk and sigh,
And throw away my posies,
I'D catch my darling on the sly
And smother her with roses.
And If she dared her lips to pout,
Like many pert young misses,
I'd wind my arm her waist about
And punish her with kisses.
