The SENsUALIsM OF APPETITE.-ln
recent valuable article with the above
title, enforcing the lesson of spiritual
supremacy over physical appetite, the
Rev. Samuel II. Spear. D. D., presents,
by way of illustration, the following
striking picture;
"Take-what is more common-the
miserable creature who drugs his body
by the habitual use of stimulant and
narcotic poison, violating all the laws of
temperance, and seeking happiness in a
way to destroy both body and soul.
Follow this man through all his dark
and winding labyrinths of his sad his
tory-yea, all the woes, the sorrows, and
bitter curses which fail to his lot; see
how he sinks and dies as the prey of
his own passions, blasted in his body,
blasted in his enjoyments, blasted for
both worlds, conscious of his degrada-
ton, yet wanting the moral power to
break the chain that binds him, perhaps
weeping over his fate at the very mo-
ment in which he pursues it with the
direst infatuation; and hardly another
spectacle so horrible can be found with.
in the limits of flesh and blood.

THE PHILOSOPHY DE IT.

We have been interested in studying
into the philosophy of both this and the
cold method of setting milk for cream.
and think we have reached its rational
explanation. 1t is we'll known that
ge-globuled milk throws up its cream
quicker and more perfectly than that
which holds its fat more finely divided.
Now, the effect of scalding is simply to
enlarge the globules by coalescence. or
running together. At the temperature
of the milk when drawn from the cow
about ninety-eight degrees-the but
ter.globules are not perfectly fluid, but
when it is heated to one hundred and
thirty-fve degrees, the globules will
come in contact will unite, forming
larger globules. These enlarged glob-
ules not only rise quickly. but by their
superior attractive power draw up. SO to
speak, the smaller globules, and thus
hasten the rising of the cream.
A FALLAcY EXPLODED BY AN EXPERIMENT..
We will mention, in this connection,
another matter. It was for while as
serted that, when the cream of large
globuled milk, is churned with the
cream of small globuled milk the FORM
er will "come" first, and that a second
churning of the residue will give Sc
cond mess of butter. But careful expert
ment entirely disproves the assertion,
and the reason is plain when we under.
stand the attractive power of the large
over the small globules. We recently
in a course of experiment upon this
point, carried it little futher as fol.
lows: After churning quantity Of
cream, sufficient to about half fill the
churn, until the united globules begar

In Maine, where, says the Hon. Neal
Dow, prohibition was only obtained
after the state had been sown knee-deep
with temperance literature" it is scarce
ly possible to find one saloon. "In
$780," says Gov. Dingley, thirteen
distilleries made one million gallons of
liquor. Now there is not single dis
tillery. In 1882 there were sold by
1000 taverns ten millions gallons, or
500 dollars for each inhabitant. In
1877 through l60 town agencies there
were sold fifteen cents worth to each
person. The liquor advocates them
selves claim that not over two dollars
worth per capita is used. The commit
ments for 1872 were 33 per cent. less
than for any of the seven previous
years.

MI MY BROTHERS. KEEPER

Does this question ever come home to
our hearts as we become aware of the
final degradation of one whose down.
ward course began in occasional indul-
gence We have been aware that he
held to the belief that the universal
liberty of conscience and heart of the
country allowed the exercise of his de-
sire for ardent drink whenever and
wherever he deemed suitable. And we
have sinfully closed our eyes to the evil
effect of such reasoning, both upon him.
self and those within the range of his
influence, until too late to avert the sad
consequences. Too surely he learns the
bitter lesson that "the wages of sin is
DEATH" and having refused to leave the
cup to which he has welded his appe-
tite, he dieth as the fool in his folly.
But are we wholly guiltless His course
has been gradual and his excuses
screened from general knowledge. but
was not his lack of sympathy with total
abstinence and his silence when con-
demnation was pronounced upon drink
ing habits, sufi cient to call for earnest
labor upon our part? Such passive
laborers in the temperance fields who
accept as with them all who do not ex-
press opposition are dangerous helpers,
because easily lulled into security by
those who really need earnest labor and
conviction of wrong principles and ha-
bits. Many man goes to drunkard' s
grave because he think no one believes
him in danger, while the bystanders,
knowing his regular habit of moderate
indulgence, fear to rouse his anger by
attacking the habit, or to lose his friend
ship by their plain speaking. Thus
they are silently consenting to his death

SILENT WoRKERs.-Look where we
may, the silent workers are they who
instruct the ignorant, care for the friend
less. feed the hungry, give water to the
thirsty. visit the prisoner, pray with
the dying. and thus carry the Christ
spirit to the needy and the perishing.
What is styled church work is sometimes
very deceptive and impoverishing. Fairs
and picnics, and brilliant conventions,
where oratory blazes and reporters fill
their horns, may be necessary in a sense
to keep up public spirit, but the work
of Christ and the salvation of souls has
its seeding place in the closet where
none but God can hear. 1t grows in
the obscurity of humble homes, reaches
the young. the neglected, the sorrowing,
and thus prepares sweet summer for
those who have been in darkness of
bondage or unclaimed by the rigors of
unbelief. 1t is not for us to speak in
censure. Yet it is plain that we have
in all denominations far too many who
must have Haunting banners, and bands
of music, and crowds of admiring specta-
tors to help them on before they will
consent to do battle for the Lord or to
work in his vineyard. All such forget
that they who seek their own honor
first cannot be real believers in the only
name by which the church can gather
the spoils of victory. o ye, who in the
strength Of humility and in the spirit
of self-sacriice seek to do your Lords
will. do not faint nor grow weary, fol
ye shall share with the angels in the
final reaping.-Christian Iatelligencer.

THE SILVER LINING.


1t is sometimes rather cold comfort to
be told, when we are weary and dis
couraged, that every cloud has its silver
lining. We are apt to think that while
that may be perfectly true as regards
other people and their experience, it is
not true for us. The way before us
seems very dark and dreary. The sky
is hung with leaden vapors. The air
chokes us. Hope sinks down faint and
PROSTATE, and faith cannot lift wing or
eye to the heavens. What shall we do I?
Well sometimes these seasons of ex-
treme depression are consequent upon
something in our physical condition.
Our health has not its usual tone. APP
petite has failed, or digestion is feeble.
Maybe we do not sleep we'll, and lack of
refreshing sleep very quickly tells upon
the nerves. In this case the first thing
to be done is to try to regain the lost
vitality. Rest may be required, and if
we cannot fully rest from our daily
labors, yet perhaps we can ease off a
little, lessen their amount, and diminish
our exertions by an hour or two at least.
Very likely we are injuring ourselves
by injudicious fretting. Nothing hurts
and rasps the soul as constant worry
ing does, and whatever else we may not
be able to control, we can to some ex-
tent control that. Patience is strength
and heroism, and we can put its armor
on, and oppose it to the perplexing
anxieties that undermine all our delight.
Prayer is comfort and refuge. too,
in the dark and cloudy day. But we
pray in half-hearted way, in the fag
ends of our time, and when we are too
weary to understand what we are saying.
We would treat none of our friends, il
we desired gifts of them, as we treat
God. Let US think more about this,
and try more earnestly to pray in a rev.
erential and thankful spirit.
We should not compare ourselves
with those whose lot is brighter thar
ours, but with those who are in less
prosperous circumstances not with the
people in the grand houses, with fathom.
less purses and retinues of servants, but
with those who are huddled together il
the close rooms and with the scanty
fare of the poor. Everybody has troub-
lie, and no doubt if we could see int
their hearts we would not exchang
places with those who appear to be mos
fortunate.
Doing our work whatever it is, in earn

sCALDING MILK FOR BUTTER.

AS great as is the improvement in
cream-raising, by the use Of deep vessels
set in ice-water, for large dairies, quite
as great in our judgment. is that of
scalding the fresh milk before setting
it in small pans, for diaries where only
moderate number of cows is kept.
METHOD OF scALDING MILK.
Though it has been long known, that
scalding milk hastens the rising of the
cream, while prolonging the period of
sweetness in warm weather, it is only
lately that this method has been reduc-
ed to system, and to considerable
extent popularized, through the efforts
of MIR. Ellsworth, of Massachusetts.
By experiment he has ascertained the
precise temperature-one hundred and
thirty-fve degrees-for securing the
best and most uniform results. We
have tested his practice, and find it
excellent. The milk is strained into a
brass or copper kettle, large enough to
hold a single milking, and the tempera-
ture slowly and carefully raised to the
proper degree. 1t is maintained there
for about half an hour, and then poured
into pans and set upon the racks of the
milk-room. which should always be we'll
aired, so as to quickly remove the vapor
arising from the milk, and prevent its
being deposited upon the walls and
woodwork. The cream rises with aston
ishing rapidity, and is of firm con-
sistency, which admits of its removal in
from twelve to twenty four hours, leav-
ing the residue quite sweet.
1t is desirable not to have a skin
form upon the milk IN scalding. This
"skin'' is made of the coagulated albu-
men of the milk, and when the milk is
scalded In the pans, in the way some
times practiced, it is entangled in the
the cream, removed with it to the churn
and remains in the butter. When the
butter is sold for immediate use the evil
thus caused is not Immediately noticed,
but it seriously impairs the keeping
when the butter is put down for future
use or sale. We think it best to strain
out of, as we'll as into, the scalding
kettle, to insure the removal of all coag
ulated matter
BENEFITS OF sCALDED MILK.
This method of scalding milk Sc
cures perfect butter, not only during
the hot months of summer, but ais
during the cold weather of winter whel
quite as much difficulty is experienced
in making good butter, in the old way
as in the summer. It prevents alik'
the hasty souring, before the cream i
up in summer, and the bitterness s.
, often developed by the long setting il
winter By its effect of fastening tn
rising of the cream. all the inevitabl
, evils and losses of delay are avoided
, and a uniform make secured at al
. seasons

large salary and was implicitly trusted by his
employers. Within the past year he has fallen
INTO the meSheS OF a fascinating but diSSnlute

could raise. His extravaganza aroused his en-

books. AT first they found a great many cleri-
cal errors. and thinking this was all they dis
charged Duncan. Another bCok-keeper was
employed, and on closer examination OF the
DOCKS ii was found that over SlG.0oa were miss

fore magistrate, and was committed 10 iatl In
default OF 5000 bail. The arrest and commit
ment were conducted with great secrecy. and
no one knew OF the affair outside OF Duncan'S
immediate friends until late this afternoon
Every effort has been made TO suppress publica-

James Tulliver, who was discovered to be a de-
faulter to the extent of $4,000 from the firm OF
which he was b0ok-keeper about six months

suburbs, furnished it in magnificent style and
lived in il with their mistress ar the rate OF
