HOSTS OF PEOPLE ARE MARTYRS,

To sick headache, that infallible symptom
Of q disordered stomach, liver and bowels.
Many suffer from it as many as three or four
times a week. They do so needlessly, for
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, by toning the
digestive organs and regulating the bowels
and liver, removes the cause. and dispels the
painful symptom. The intimate sympathy
between the brain and the abdominal region
causes the slightest disorder affecting the
latter to be reelected as it were, in the organ
of thought. The reform instituted by the
bitters when the digestive, secretive and
eyacuative functions are in a state of chaos,
has other and more beneficial results, viz,
the complete nutrition OF the whole physi-
cal economy, the restoration of appetite and
repose, and an increase in the power OF the
system to resist diseases of a malarial type.

THE DAIR Y,
HOW SHIPPERS GET INTO CHEESE.

HOW Sh1PPkRb Z Into CHEESE
Shippers are Matched from the eggs of
the cheese fly. This is a very small insect,
one of the smallest of the fly family. The
fly Is most troublesome In hot weather and
IN September. 1t lays its eggs usually
where the bandage laps over on top of the
cheese, and under any little scale, often di-
rectly ON the top of the cheese and on the
sides often, too, on the boards which hold
the cheese.
If there is a small crack or %crevice, the
skippers m to work into the cheese,
and when ~cleeses are what is termed 'loose
or porus," they work into the cheese rapid
ly, and if not arrested will work into the
center and through the cheese, spelling it.
They require air, and this fact is taken adj
vantage of by the dairyman, in covering the
surface of the cheese with a creased pa per,
plasteriug it down securely on the cheese,
or on the hole where they are working.
This brings them to the surface, when they
may be removed.
One Of the objects of rubbing cheese
smartly every day, is to rub off or destroy
the eggs of the fly. The tables, in warm
weather, should also be washed off with hot
whey, or with soap and water and lye, in
order to remove grease, so that the fly will
not lay egg or the boards.
Never heard OF the ny depositing eggs on
cheese curd. and by that means getting into
the centre OF the cheese. Do not think they
could live aud hatch in the centre of the
cheese. tor Il OF ark. Il. Willard.

RAISING cream by centrifugal force is now
practiced to some extent in Europe. The
machines, of a capacity of from 100 to 200
quarts, are revo!yed from 90 to 30 minutes,
and then a quantity of skinned milk is al
lowed to aow in, causing the cream accu-
mulated at the top to flow over. 1t is said
that from 50 to 80 per cent. OF the cream
may be obtained in this way.

FRENCH BUTTER MAKING.

In the French system the butter is made
from very sour cream, is washed in the
churn, not sailed. but sold for present use
In Paris and England, and the keeping
quality is not much studied. Notwith-
standing the extreme sourness of the cream
when churned, the butter has almost the
SAME appearance as that made from sweet
cream-th.s being the result of the washing.
The finest French butter is shipped at once
to the consumers, and generally consumed
before the end of three days so its keeping
qualities are not material. No salt is used
for the home market. 1t is put up in large
balls of 2S lbs. to 40 lbs, each ball being
covered with 4 piece of fine flannel and
placed in q willow basket. Second and
third class butter is made up in one pound
rolls and packed in grape leaves, For the
English market. butter is put up in one
pound rolls and covered with %jaconet and
lace paper. and packed in small boxes ike
x6 inches, twelve rolls in each box. M. Lep-
pelletier is the largest exporter of this kind
of butter. and is said to ship 1900 boxes a
week, his trade amounting to IL, 1000, 900
francs per year. 1t is sent in refrigerating
cars. In Paris all butter is sold by auction.
at ten markets. Women are mostly the
buyers. Three or four hundred lots are
sold ever hour. Sworn officials weigh and
register the butter. and make up the ac-
counts of sales. The different kinds OF but
ter are named from the places where they
are made. and classified according to quail
ty. The best butter is sold at 80 to rs cts.
per pound.
In the New York Tribune. Mr.. L. d. Cur
tbs states that Professor Arnold is undoubt-
edly right in assuming that butter made
from milk set in refrigerators will not keep
SO we'll as if the cream was raised in an at
m%osphere of nearly the same temperature
rs that in which the butter is kept. Such
butter should be sold as soon as made un-
less the dairyman has a cellar OF unusual
GOODNESS. which is not the case with the ay-
erage cellar. If a strong brine is put on the
top of the package it will help to lower the
temperature a degree or two, and to pre-
serve the contents. If the package is placed
on a stone it will be cooler than if set on
the ground. Shutting the hot air out of the
cellar and keeping it free from dirt and de-
caying vegetables are most important
things to be looked AFTER.

If member of the Young Mems
Christian Association can ride through
the streets of Cincinnati or any other
American city in an express wagon for
two hours and not become heathcn in
his thoughts and conversation he ought
to be canonized. Soberly speaking, the
pavements of this city are something
worse than a corduroy road in the Adj
rondacks or amid the Virginia swamps;
and yet the amount of money expended
annually to make them otherwise is
enormous. Can not the inventive genius
of the American people be set at work to
produce a method of street paving, or
material for the same, which, when put
down, shall stay smooth and level and
permit the passage of vehicles over them
without at the same time shaking them
selves in pieces and the occupants into a
frame of mind suited better for Dante's
Inferno than for Christian community
having Board of City Commissioners?

paper bearing the general high repute
of the Times should advance propositions
50 utterly untenable in every respect, ex-
cites our wonder. Manifestly, it has not
recovered from the acute attack of anti
silverism under which it suffered some
two years ago. Indeed, the symptoms
indicate that the complaint has become
chronic. For the same article says:
Resumption in the only honest sense
can not indefinitely endure the strain to
which it is put by the present silver law.
Let there be free coinage of silver, to be
used, among other purposes, in paying the
public creditor, and gold will quickly dis
appear. We shall once more have de-
based and tiuctuating standard of value.
There it is--"the same old Monsieur
Tonson come again." weeping and wall
ing, with some tendency to gnashing of
teeth, over the sorrowing thought of sill
yer being used, "among other purposes,
in paying the public creditor" When
the public creditor became such, he
agreed to take "coin," or specie, if you
please, in payment of his claim. Let
this coin be partly of silver, how will
that be likely to make gold disappear?
Will payment of bonds in silver cause a
wasting away of our gold? The idea is
simply absurd; yet paper Of high pre-,
tension propounds it as indubitable, and
speaks of resumption, "in the only hon
est sense" as resumption in gold.
The Times deplores the financial situa
ton. 1t abhors equally the party that
would pay the "public creditor" in sill
yer and the party that would pay in
notes to be printed for that purpose; and
concludes its homily by the unqualified
: statement that Gin principle they are
C alike repudiators."
5 This sounds very like railing accusa
r tions. It has public creditor on thu
: brain. 1t is clear case of emotiona
e insanity. To the Times silver is whs

COIN PAYMENT.

The phrase, "specie payments" has
long been familiar, and used to express
the idea of paying obligations in coin.
The word"specie" means coin, or metallic
money, of any kind ordained and stamped
in conformity to law. Specie payment
and coin payment are therefore con-
vertible terms to the common under
standing. Coin is anything that is specie,
and specie is anything that is coin,
whether it be silver or gold; for it in
ciudes both.
All this may seem quite plain and rudi-
nentary. And indeed it is so. We are
none the less constrained to state these
simple propositions for the benefit of GER
tain Eastern editors "of credit and re-
nown;" and who seem to have got so far
advanced in financial theories as to have
abandoned rudimentary principles alto
gether.
Thus, the New York Times of July
2Oth proceeds to argue that the bonded
debt of the Government, though made
specifically payable in coin, and that
coin to be of specified standard as fixed
by previous law, is nevertheless to be
paid in ''gold coin" The Times says:
"All the negotiations have proceeded on
.he understanding that the coin which the
Government covenants to pay, prlnelpa
and interest is gold coin. The marketable
ouality of the bonds, at not less than pal
in coin. has by common consent been inter
preted to mean gold coin, and the promises
of the Government are subject to the samt
construction" ,...,.
Now, to the three distinct proposition
set forth as matters of fact in this state
ment, we put in general denial OF eacf
and all. For, it is not true that the ne
gotiations have proceeded on the under
standing that the "coin" was to be goIc
coin. 1t is not true that common con
sent has interpreted "coin" to mean goll
coin. And ii is not true that the bondec
proui-es of the Government are subject
to that construction.
1t may be true that the spectators
who haunted the "Gold-room" when that
great gambling-shop was in blast, hac
come to understand each other as mean
ing gold when they spoke of coin. Bu
that the official negotiations proceeded
on that understanding, or that common
consent 50 interpreted it, so as to subjec
the Government promises to such con
struction, are entirely false and un
founded in fact.
The Times seems to forget that what {
law says it is presumed to mean. Wher
it said "coin," it meant whatever wa.
