COUNTRY BUTTER.-The art of max
ing good butter is aot rs common as Ii
ought 10 be, even though the article is
one OF the most ancient of food pro-
ducts, and was mentioned by HerodO-
tus 800 years ago, and frequently re-
ferred 10 by other early writers. Bad
butter is lar more frequently met with
than good, and of all the old fables
which find acceptance in regard to the
superior delights OF rural life, none
have less foundation in fact than rhaC
which asserts that the butter which
adoras the average farmers table is OF
better qualities than is obtainable In
cities. As gooG butter as is found in
hotels and upon first-class family tables
IN city like Boston can seldom be
found in country farmhouses. The
farmers wives and daughters do not
know how TO make The best butter and
have not the requisite appliances il
they possessed the knowledge. The
butter which is common in the farm
house OF even rural New England, anu
which Is often referred 10 by the
housewife with pride, is ranked low
IN the list OF grades of butter in the
Boston market, and it would be well
II the fact We're thoroughly compre-
hended. 1t may be fortunate for the
paiates OF great many people in the
country THAI they have no idea OF wHat
good butter is, and are actually inca
pable OF telling good from bad, but it is
not so fortunate Tor their pocket-Oooks.
II Is nearly as easy 10 make good but
ter as 10 make poor, and ir has been
suggested that 1t would be an import
ant and benevolent work if com petent
persons would 20 through The country

Matchmaking I'm America.

The watch trade is smother marvel of
rapid development, dating back for
few years only since its commencement.
Ii was in 1850 when two Boston arti-
sans, Allan DenisOn and Edward How
arG by name. first opened small work
shop for matchmaking at Roxbury;
but finding the place not sufficiently
quiet for their wishes, they changed
their locality TO Waltham, little town
about eleven miles from Boston, and
here they established themselves on the
bank Of the Charles river. Although
they demonstrated the feasibility Of
making watches by machinery, they
failed In a pecuniary sense. not having
started with sufficient capital, and the
concern then passed into the hands of
Mir. Robbins, who founded, In 1855, the
now celebrated American Watch Com
pany. Considerably more than g NIL
lion of watches have been issued from
this factory from then to now, and al
though they we're originally intended
and expected to supply the home trade
only, their cheapness and excellence
have caused demand for them In for.
sign countries, England not excepted.
Over $40 operatives are employed by
this company, working IL hours per
day, except Saturdays, when the limit
Is . hours.

Choosing a Profession.

DR.. Holland and others, who have
been discussing the question of how
a young man should choose profession
can profit by the experience of 4 young
man who promised his dying father
that he would adopt profession, and
that 1t should be enc that his conscience
told him he was fitted 10 fill. The old
man died. and the sen began to con-
slider what profession he should select.
At first ne thought OF the medical, but
reflection convinced him that he never
could 90 through the ordeal of fitting
for il, as he hsln't the nerve TO rob a
graveyard. Then he thought of law.
but as he became satisfied that he
couldn't be friends on the street With
the man who in the courtroom, called
him a sniyelling blackguard and whom
he had hinted was an ex-train wrecker
and moreover as he wasn't good at
poker, he gave up that idea. He thought
OF the stage, but the conclu sion that
he shouldn't like TO be fired az several
times a week by the men with whose
wives he had flirted made him feel
that he was unfit for that profession.
The church suggested itself. He might
he a clergyman. But when he asked
himself: ''Do you like to play ero-
quet:" hi. conscience compelled him
TO admit that he det9sted the game. He
was, therefore, untitled for the church.
But at last a happy thought struck
him. He did not object TO profanity
he was willing to yell at the top of his
voice, he enjoyed a souffle now and
then, and he liked 10 wear diamonds
and draw big salary. The way was
open to him to keep mis- promise to his
father By becominga a professional man,
and at the same time do nothing that
his conscience told him he was unified
for. He pitches curved ball."

Fossils In the Sierras.-Therc recently
came into the possession ef Stephen
Barton a specimen of shale in which
was the impress Of two sea-shells.
Search was made and large body of
fossils was found-more, perhaps, than
all the previous discoveries of the kind
in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The
elevation at which these fossils were
found is about ten thousand feet above
the sea, and clearly speaks Of the So
journ OF these formations beneath the
ocean. The structure OF the stratum
in which they appear now stands YER
teal, and seems TO have occupied that
position for a long time anterior To the
glacial epoch. The character of the
fossils seems to indicate that they be-
long TO the Iurian age, and if go they
carry the date of California formations
further back than has generally been
supposed. At point south OF where
these fossils are found the formation
dips to the east and approaches hOri-
zontal position as it joins the granite.
Thus a mile of stratined rock seems to
repOse beneath the first appearance Of
the siluriau, and will doubtless carry
US back 10 the most ancient OF geclOgi-
cal epochs.

CARE OF SHEEP.-A sheep 10 be well

able single day, he will grow wool
only S6i days in year. If for four
months At time from i'll health or
lack of food or water it produces wool
only eight months in a wear, there is a
loss of one-third OF the profits he would
have given his owner. \ sheen out of

success. If in thin, weak condition,

Paper In China.

Paper Is very extensively mapufac-
tured in the numerous little villages
situated in the valleys among the Mills,
about eight miles to the southeast Of
the city of Kinghien, China. 1t is made
from the bark called Tan-shu-pT, the
paper-mulberry tree bark, and wheat
straw, which after having been well
washed and boiled with a certain pro-
portion of lime, is again washed, and
then exposed to dry for a whole year
on the sides Of the hills, In spots where
the grass ana brushw Ood have been
previously cleared away for this pur-
pose. Alter the years exposure It Is
washed once more, and then pounded
on stone with large wooden ham,
mer; It is supposed to require l,400
blows from this hammer to reduce it
to the necessary consistency; after
which 1t Is removed 10 another build
ing, and left to soak until 1t becomes
quite pulp In a large earthen-ware
vessel, containing liquid glue called
the YangkOwt'eng, u species ofhooked
vine. This pulp Is then put into cist-
ern OF water, and we'll stirred up with
a stout stick. A finely made bamboo
frame, or sort OF long oblong sieve, Is
taken by two men, one at either end,
and dipped twice into this liquid. which
is made to run equally over the whole
surface, somewhat after the manner In
which the photographer allows the de-
veloping solution to run over his plate.
By this means a thin and tOlerably
even layer is left, which soon partially
dries and forms the sheet ofpapsrs and
which is removed by simply reversing
the frame. As soon as sufficient
number OF sheets has been made, they
are taken to the drying room. This
room contains large brick oven coat
ed on the outside with lime, and built
up to within a few feet of the root.
Upon the top Of this oven the paper Is
placed, in parcels Of about foot In
thickness, until perfectly dry: after
which sheet by sheet Is damped once
more. and while still moist is by means
of a soft brush made to adhere to the
sides OF the oven for short time to un-
derg, Its final process Of drying. 1t is
then taken away TO the packing room
and made up into bales, weighing from
so to l20 catties each, the ca,ty being
equival ent to one and one-third pound
svoirdupois. The largest sized paper
is about one "chang" Ql334 feet long,
and is worth one dollar sheet. This
particular size of paper is made en-
tirely from the "ran-shu-pr," but the
smaller sizes are composed OF a mixture
OF the aforementioned bark, or the
bark of the paper-mulberry tree and
wheat straw. This paper is known by
the name "Suanchih," and is consider
ei cool quality paper in the Chinese
markets.

AGRICULTURE.

THE FARM HoRsE.-There Is no ami
NAL on tire farm that is so likely to be
neglected as the horse. The horse of the
city truckman, or the expressman, the
driving horse and saddle horse, are
well cared for, but the farm horse is
too often irregularly fed, and, so far
as cleaning is concerned, regularly
and systematically neglected. 1t is
difficult to find q hired man brought
up on the farm who thinks there Is any
necessity for taking special care Of a
horse. Some horses upen the farm
are rarely If ever properly curried or
rubbed, and yet the condition and use
fulness of the farm horse depend, as
much upon the manner in which IL
is cared for as any other horse. When
brought perspiring to the stable he
ought not to be allowed to stand over
night with the dust drying upon him.
A good cleaning off is half a rest, and
vet how often we see the farm horse
brought out in the morning covered
with the dirt of the day before and
with the accumulated filth of the night
still clinging to him. Under such con-
ditions horse is not much more than
half horse. Often, too, he Is irregu-
la-ly fed and indlscreetly watered. A
horse AT work should have water five
or six times day. Ii he does not
drink more than two OF three quarts at
a time all the better. A horse that is
kept from water till he drinks two or
three pailfuls, will be very likely TO
have his digestive organs and bowels
seriously ceranged. To keep horse

years longer than If, when at work, he

ways be cleaned at least once day,
and when hard at work both night
and morning. II not at work q good
grooming once a day would be sufii-
cient, and when idle good hay might
be substituted for grain.

Effects Of Breathing Ocygen.-A young
Frenchman, NJ. Aune, has lately made
experiments on himself relative to this
question, which he Las chosen as the
subject of medical thesis. The expe-
riments lasted fonr weeks during which
time he submitted himself to a uniform
regime as regards quantity and quality
OF bod, muscular exercise, and intel
lectual work. He took oxygen only
during the second and third week. in
haling between forty and eight lItres
of it daily. but during the whole time
he made careful record Of temper
ature, pulse, respiration, etc. The
conclusions arrived at are briefly as
follows: Inhalation Of oxygen made
under physiological conditions does not
cause any inconvenience. One may
absorb 100 litres, and even more, daily.
Oxygen increases the appetite. and
develops the functions OF assimilation;
and on this account 1t tends to increase
the weight of the body. 1t produces
slight intoxication, and tingling sensa-
tiOns in the extremities. IL raises the
temperature very slightly. Under irs
influence the respiratory movements
and the pulsations becomes more nume-
rous. Oxygen has an incontestable
action on certain elements OF the blood
il increases the number OF red corpus
oles and of hematOblasts, and the rich
ness OF the former In hemoglObin. IL
has no influence on tine white corpus
cles. NJ. Aune did not experience that
sensation of heat in the chest OF which
some authors have spoken in connec-
tion with this subject. Commenting
on NJ. Aune's experiments, NJ. Hoyem
remarks that the effects are only tem-
pOrary, and that while inhalation OF
oxygen may be Of service through
iavOring assimilation, it could not be
made q dehnitive treatment, and it
would be necessary always to admin
Ister iron in addition. The Inhalation
gives very good results in the case OF
dyspeptic phenomena and obstinate
vomiting.
