OLEoMARGARINE, OR 9UTTER FROM
THE FAT OF BEEvEs. s.-The Philadel-
phia Record says: Nearly S2,000,000
are invested il this country alone In
the making of a sort of butter from the
fat of beeves. 1t is sold under the
name of oleOmargcrine In Europe its
manufacture and consumption are
much greater than in America. The
French use it in their hospitals, and
the Partisan authorities impose the
same duties on it as on ordinary butter
Ii is sold in the principal cities of
France, England, Scotland, Germany,
Austria aud Russia There are three
manufactures IN this country--one in
in New York city and the others in
Baltimore aud Philadelphia Con-
spieuous eleomargarine signs are dis
played over the doors of more than a
score of stores in New York and en-
vifons, and rearly eight hundred pounds
were retailed from store a at 623 Eight
avenue on Saturday last. This shows
that the butter is rapidly increasing In
sale and favor among the poor and in
dustrial classes. Oleomargarine can be
made only from the purest fat of the
beef The process was discovered by
NJ. Mege, a Frenchman He accepted
Government commission to investi-
gate, experiment and report, with the
view of obtaining, for the use of the
navy and poorer classes, something to
take the place of ordinary butter, to be
sold for much less, and to be kept IN any
climate without becoming rancid.
NJ. Mege began his investigations on
farm near Versailles, Through chem
icai analysis and numerous experiments
he SAYS he found that the butter in
cows milk came direct from the fat of
the animal. He found that the fatty
globules were carried into the circula-
tiop, and deprived of stearine by re-
spitory combustion The oil was then
sent to the udders, where under the in
fuence of mammary pepsir it was
changed into butter. Guided by these
observations he took cows fat or beef's
suet, and began to copy the operations
of nature. BY simple process he
fused the fat at nearly the same tenn
perature as butter, separated the stear-
inc from the oil, and churned the oil
into butter or oleomargarine.
Old FATHER BRAYSE, of Syracuse, was a
very popular camp-meeting leader. He
used to tel in the meeting the following
story While conducting camp-meeting in
western New York, messenger arrived at
the camp to inform him that the wife of the
chief deacon had died that morning. Fa,
ther Brayne delegated his powers to another
and started home 10 comfort the bereaved
widower. After a twenty mile ride he
reached the farm house, where the deacon
lived, about four in the afternoon.
On entering, he shook the widower by
the hand and sat down in silence. By and
by he began to condole with the bereaved
man, and offered him all the consolation in
his power
50 It's a very heavy grief you have to
bear,n said the minister, syou must bear W
like 4 man.
"Yes," the deacon responded, sits kind
o. rough. Let's take walk around"
Father Brayns, thinking that the widowel
felt i'll and depressed, and that the fresh all
would do him good, readily assented. The
deacon led him to his barns and stables
and showed him over his farm. The parsor
appeared to take great interest in every.
thing, rejoiced to think that he was helping
to divert the deao on's mind from his grea
sorrow. After they had gone around the
farm, the deacon said:
Snow, minister, We see everything's il
fine order. What would you advise me tc
do-bring my daughter and her husband
here to manage the place, or go hunting
about among the girls again for anoticl
wife ?''
