Butter Making.

The making of butter at low tenn
perature, continues to be as warmly
discussed in Germany as in France. In
the TyrOl, the Swartz plan of cold is as
much adopted at present as in Sweden
and Denmark. The object of churning
the cream is to isolate as completely as
possible, and then to reunite the but
tery particles contained in it. Profess
sor Soxlet of Vienna has settled the
yexed question, shave these particles
or glcbules an envelope?" He states
they have not, but swim freely in the
liquid, and being lighter than this liq-
uid, they naturally tend to rise to the
surface. Their volume varies, but the
smaller size are the most numerous.
Now, while an increase of temperature
ought to cause the globules to ascend
more rapidly, experience demonstrates
the opposite. Researches by several
trustworthy experiments attest that it
is Lot the uniformity of low tempera-
ture but its sudden application that
causes the cream to rise, and hence the
advantage of placing the milk when
warm, in shallow. small pans, cooled
with ice or compressed snow. In twelve
hours the milk is fit for skimming. N.
Lefeld of Schonigen is the advocate for
the extraction Of butter from milk
without creaming, but by the employ
ment of centrifugal force; his machine
has given good results but the butter,
although produced very expeditiously
has but little aroma, and is sadly de-
fcient in consistency.

Women as Mountain Climbers.

The New England papers are making
much of Mrs. j. o. Adams, a lady OF
Manchester. n. H., because she ascend
ed and descended from the top of Mount
Washing ,on in the same day. It twas
very good piece of work, but Mount
Washinton. it must be remembered IS
not much of mountain; and the exploit
of Mrs. Adams by no means puts her
on level with Miss Brevoort, of New
York, who, after getting to the top of
Mont Blanc in company with Marie
Couttet, drank champagne and danced
quadrille with the guides; nor yet with
that of Nile. d'Angeville, who, having
scaled the same snow clad height, made
her guides take her in their arms and
hold herup in the air, so that she might
say she had "been higher up than any
woman in Europe;" nor, finally, with
that of the English spinster, Miss
Stratton, who climbed Mont Blanc in
the winter of 1875 and passed four days
amid the glaciers. All CT these, to be
sure, were votaries of the chaste hunt
ress Diana. For a married woman,
Mrs. Adams has done tolerable WE'LL

Rpaufy and Terror.

Thomas Starr King says the flowers
of nature ''do nothing to robe the globe
in splendor in comparison with the
rocks and SHOWS of the uncultivated
hills. God chooses the awful things to
show off his tenderness. Is not this a
theological fact and lesson as well as a
fact of science? Indeed, the most ten
der influence that we are acquainted
with in nature flows from the utmost
desolation that we know anything
about. L mean the full moon light
How soft, how soothing, how kindly,
how patient, how pitiful, it seemsl Yet
science tells US of nothing so blasted, so
terrible, as the moon itself. Sahara on
this globe is almost a garden to it. The
sage-brush plains between the Sierra
and Salt Lake are a conservatory in
contrast. There are pits in it nearly
twenty thousand feet deep. There are
mountains of SCARED, scorched stone
on it almost as high. There seems to
be no water On its surface and no air
swathing its frightful solitudes. One
astronomer imagined that it was the
hell of our planet. And yet perhaps its
light is the more soft and tender to us
because of this barrenness. One of its
chief uses, probably, is to publish the
graciousness of the Infinite to our eyes
and sentiment. Compassion and love
stream to us out of the sky from the
bosom of seeming terror. So God
swathes His power with grace, and by
light and color tells US that He is not
the Almighty simply, but the Almighty
Father.n

Sensible AIm9st to the Last.

Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Mulcahy lived On

and had the reputation of being close.
Finally Mrs. Mulcahy sickened and was
about to die. Finding herself nearing
the end, she expressed desire TO put
things in order before that event oc-
CURED, and old Tom prepared to listen.
"Tom," says Mrs. Mulcahy, there's

If war has its chiyalry and pagelntry,
it has also its hideousns IS and It's demo-
MAC woe. Bullets respect not beauty.
They tear cut the eye, and shatter the
jaw, and rend the cheek. Mercy abln-
dons the arena Of battle. The frantic
war horse with iron h0of tramples upon
the mangled face, the thrObbing and i'll
famed wounds, the splintered bones,
and needs not the shrek of torture
Crushed into the mire by the wheels of
heavy artillery, the victim of war thinks
Of mother, father, sister, home, and
groans and dies; his mangled corpse is
covered with few shoYelfulS of earth,
and left as food for vultures and dogs,
and he is forgotten. He who lOathes
war, and will do everything in his power
to avert it, but who will, in the last eX-
tremity, encounter its perils, from love
of country and Of hOme-who is willing
to sacrifice himself and all that is dear
to him in life, to promote the we'll being
of his fellow-man, will ever receive a
worthy homage.--..dbb0t.

Jute Culture.

According to the report of the De-
partment Of Agriculture, the United
States pays out more than $50, 600, coo
annually for imported fibers-hax,
hemp and jute, and that when no other
country in the world can grow these so
well and cheaply. 1t has been demon
strated that jute can be proiitably grown
in South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Louisiana, Texas, and wherever there
is q hot, damp climate and soil of
sandy clay or alluyial mold, and it is
believed that greater profit would arise
from its culture in many locations, than
from the usual crops raised. 1t is four
times as productive as cotton or flax,
and requires not more than one-tenth
the labor to produce it. In its manu-
facture there is not half the loss there
is in hemp and flax, white jute bags are
worth in market one-fourth to one-half
cent per yard more than flax, and they
last longer.

WOman's OppOrtunity.

The question is not now, as formerly,
what is woman allowed to do in the
world? but, what is she prepared todor
Every path is free to her feet, every
gate is open for her entrance, every bar
is lowered that might prevent her on
ward career, and the only obstacle that
she has TO overcome is her ignorance Of
ways and means, and her inability for
rapid and thorough preparation. These
surmOunted, there is no heights she
may not ascend, no victories she may
not achieve. Women are now actively
employed in every department of art
literature and science. They are busily
at work with head and hands; they are
demonstrating that women are held
back in the race for fame and wealth
only by the trammelS of their own ig-
norance or misapplied energy. Fair
vantage ground can be gained any
here, where men or women are quail
lied to stand; if it is below the masses,
they must be content with the place
their attainments gain them; if above,
on the higher plains, they can dread no
downfall of their hopes and ambitions.
There isno crowding where only the few
brave and worthy gather; it is down
among the struggling, weak, faint
hearted ones who are not able to climb,
that the most despairing and unworthy
go to the wall and perish.--Indiahapo!is

Happiness.

The idea has been transmitted from
generation to generation, that happi-
ness is one large and beautiful precious
stone, a single gem SO rare, that all
search after it is vain, all effort for it
hopeless: 1t is not so. Happiness is
a mosaic, composed of many smaller
stoues. Each taken apart and viewed
singly may be of little value, but when
all are grouped together, and judicious-
ly combined and set, they form pleas
ing and graceful whole-a costly jewel.
Trample not under foot, then, the little
pleasures which gracious Providence
scatters in the daily path, and which,
in eager search after some great and
exciting joy, we are so apt to overlook.
Why should we keep our eyes fixed on
the bright, distant horizon, while there
are so many lovely roses in the garden
in which we are permitted to walk?
The very ardor of our chase after hap
piGess, may be the reason that she so
often eludes our grasp. We pantingly
strain after her, when she has been
brought nigh unto us.

Expert Divers.

Many nations, and particularly the
savages Of the South Sea and other IS
lands, are remarkable for the expert
ness which they acquire by habit, IN
diving and moving about in the water.
Being accustomed to it from their IN
fancy, the element becomes so naturai
to them that they seem to have the use
of their faculties in the water, as wei
as on dry land. According to Voyagers
they are such expert divers, that Wilen
a nail or other piece of iron was thrown
overheard, they instantly jumped into
the sea after it, and never failed TO re-
cover it. On one occasion, a smiths
anvil is said to have fallen overheard;
not being able to bring this up, the Is
landers contrived to get it ashore by
descending a great many times, and roll
ing it over till it reached the land

Mr.. M,Kimher,s Statement.

My theory is that a mothers chief
duty is the taking care of her children.
How came 1 by this theory? 1 came
by it through the newspapers. Inever
took up one that did not tell of dishon-
est clerks, corrupt officials, theft and
murder.
One day L went into Mrs. Fennel's
kitchen where found the women folk
in state of great CONSERVATION. The
cakes were all fried for tea, but the salt
had been forgotten. Sprinkle some
over them, said L, 'twill strike through
won't it?"
"Oh, mol" said Mrs. F., 1.-The salt
must be mixed in the dough at the be-
ginning"
"There," thought ], ''that's the figure
of speech l want! Let salt stand for
goodness, and dough for the children.
The goodness must be mixed in at the
beginning, it is too late when the dough
is baked into men and women. 1t will
be of no use then sprinkling it on the
outside; it won't strike through. Yes.
yes, mix it in at the beginning; that's
iti And mothers must do it"

Corn as Food.

The Milwaukee Milling Journal thus
compares the cost and food value of
corn and wheat TO the disadvantage of
the latter grain: "Wheat is the dearest
food consumed by mankind, and when
the comparative value and cheapness
of the different grains is mere thor
oughly understood, the singular fact
will be developed that there is as much
caste in food as in the human race that
is supported by it. Scarcity and high
cost of wheat viii eventually force
nations and individuals to learn that
the moral and financial elevation of the
masses depends upon the substitution
of some good material cheaper than
wheat and bearing nearer proportion to
the reduced state of wages now preva-
lent the world over. When the con-
ventional necessities of life increase in
cost, labOrer's wages diminish, and
suffering and discomfort ensue. The
following comparison will show that
corn, as well as oats, is cheaper food
than wheat: Oats contain 1891 per
cent nourishment; corn, 1890 per cent.
and wheat, 14.06 per cent. Each pound
Of nourishment from oats at 5Sl cents
per bushel cost 9.33 cents; from corn at
81 cents per bushel, each pound st cents,
while from wheat at S1.07 per bushel
each pound of nourishment cost 20.61
cents. The corn crop of the United
States equals the wheat crop of the
civilized world, while 40 per cent. of
the latter cannot raise sufficient for
their own wants. The deficiency in
the United States wheat crop for 1876
exceeded the entire export of 1875,
while our exports of wheat in 1915 were
100000 bushels less than in 1874
showing that wheat cannot be claimed
as sole dependence from the rapidly
increased population of the world.
Corn must, before many years, be con-
sumed as partial substitute, at least,
for wheat, and the better the quality of
the grain, and the more perfect the pro-
cess of preparing it for food, the quick
er will. come the enlarged demand.
This is in part confirmed by the fact
that our exports of 1876 were 3per cent.
for our whole crop, while for the twelve
preceding years they averaged only
|. per cent. of the corn produced.
