PREPARING BUTTER FOB THE MARx11.
Too much stress cannot DO laid on The
importance of having all the dairy pro-
duct in an attractive and presentable con-
dition when ready to be offered for sale.
The article in and Of itself may be unex-
ceptionable as to flavor, color, etc., and
yet DO sighted by purchasers, because Of
not presenting an attractive appearances
to the eye. Assuming that your butter.
is all that it should be in quality, it II -
sential it should be moulded into full
edged, clean.cut rolls, and that just tha
right quality of muslin should be used.
In wrapping, the cloth should always
fully cover the side of the roll, leaving
no part,of the side of the roll bare, ont
not too short nor too long, and folded
just enough over the top to give the roll .
''dressy" appearance. About three-eighths
of an inch is the proper length TO- b
folded, and that in regular plaits, equi-
distant and neatly done. Tho bottom Of
the roll should be covered also, 20 - 10
allow NO soilage to the butter from the
bottom of the box. These minor details
may look like small matters, but they
are much more important than dairymsn
are generally aware of.

A Foolish WOMAN. - Sentimental
young ladies, whose minds are crazed by
reading sensational novels, are apt to fall
in love with public characters, such as
artists, composers and actors. They often
make themselves ridiculous, as, for in
stauce, the woman in this anecdote:
Gounod, when on visit lately to q
certain countess, let button fall on the
carpet--a prossic trouser button. The
countess picked up the button, and had
it encased like relic in its reliquary, in
the most beautiful locket that could be
made by the most skillful jeweler of the
.Reu de Ia Paix, and she now constantly
carries it round her neck. The other
day, this lady in her turn was paying q
visit, medallion around her neck as
usual, to the wife of the composer, who
went into ecstacies with the medallion.
"Yes," answered the countess, lit is
pretty, but ought to be prettier to be
worthy of what it encloses. LoOkw She
opened the locket, and Madame Gounod
saw, to her astonishment, trOuser but
toni ut belonged to NJ. Gouuod," said
the infatua ted countess.

A NEW method for making looking
glasses has been put in practice at St.
Louis. Mercury is not used. The de-
tails of the method are not wholly given
to the public, but it is said solution
containing nitrate of silver, copper and
some other Ingredients, is floated over the
glass, and the solution settles and dries
"a matter of few minutcs-the work
is complete. Looking-glasses made thus,
with photographs in them, have been ex-
hibited at st. Louis. The results of the
new process are said to be excellent,
great clearness of reflection being at
tanned. The new looking glasses will
endure far more heat than ordinary ones,
without injury.

ACT AT ONcE.-"If had only. done
this or that last year!" is common re-
mark among some of our friends and &C.
quaintances, but how few attempt to rec
tify their mistakes by not delaying until
tomorrow, next week, or next year, what
might just as we'll be done to-day as at
any other time. These delays and pro-
crastinations are common to no one class
of persons more than another, but there
are certain fields in which their effects
are more noticeable than in others. For
instance, if . man needs trees, for fruit
or ornament, time alone will aid his
labors in producing them. For although
attention and labor will do much toward
Fastening their growth, still certain
number of years are required to bring
them to maturity. Every year of delay
in making beginning is certain to cut
short our enjoyment later on, just by the
extent of our delay. Make haste to De.
gin, then, for wasted hours and cppor-
tunities never return.

Il
EDITOR RECORD: On Monday eve-
hing, Dec. 24th, by invitation |
attended the Christmas Tree in this
pleasant little town. Preparations
for the Christmas Tree by the Sab
bath school had been in progress for
some time, and on the evening of
the 9th the members, both old and
young, experienced the enjoyment
of their anxious expectations.
The room was embellished with
beautlflrl notices ON one side,
"a mer J. Christmas" on the other,
"Peace On Garth. Good will to men,"
After the crowd had collected,
Santa Claus, in full costume, entered
amid the turbulent uproar OF the
audience. After few remarks, he
and others began to relieve the tree
Of its incumbrance. The distribu-
ton of gifts was attended with the
best of order, with now and then an
outburst of laughter at the remarks
and actions of Santa Claus. Nothing
occurred to impair the pleasures OF
the evening. y. >.

EDITOR RECORD. Net having seen
anything from this part ofthe coun-
TRY in your paper, have concluded
to furnish you few items.
Our Christmas Tree was success.
Messrs. r. P. Williamson & Son
llost their cotton gin from fire on the
morning of the 25th inst. The fire
WAS discovered about day break.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
There is strong suspicion of an in
cendiary, but no clue at the scoun-
drel. The loss of cotton is near
thirty bales-mostly in the seed.
Crops are very good. A. J. Collie,
R. C. Wrinkle, Henry Moser and
Squire Winkle have made bale of
cotton per acre. We were presented
with turnip, by Mr.. A. J. Collie,
that weighed eight pounds, and he
has plenty more of the same sort.
Can Sharp county beat that for cot
ton or turnips?
We were all pleased to have our
old pastor, Rev. J. ]. Alexander, re-
turn to this circuit.
| Our little village is quiet place
Just now. No whisky sold here, and
}'everything is lovely and the goose
hangs high.
Success to you and your paper.
