THE DAIRY.

THE exports Of butter from this coun-
try are only four per cent. Of the pro-
ductiOn; those Of cheese, forty-one per
cent. English people eat far more
cheese than butter. Il is staple food
among laboring men in England.
The Waverly Republican says there
are many obstacles in the dairy busi-
ness. The care Of cows Is distasteful;
farmers dislike 10 milk; often hired
men will not milk; the wife has no time
and the daughter feels above It..
MIR. SAEBORN, Of New Hampshire,
thinks, after careful experiment that
currying cattle prevents them from fat
tening. If this is so with fat cattle what
must be the effect with cows in milk,
whose bones are so much nearer the
surface?
More oleomargarine is shipped to
Rotterdam than to any other European
port Glasgow, Scotland, receives
about half as much. More than four
times as many cheese are shipped TO
Liverpool than to any other European
port. Glasgow holds second rank.
THHRE has been such a rapid increase,
says the CuitiUatoT, in the number OF
creameries for the making of butter
around Philadelphia, that The milk sup
ply of the city is seriously threatened.
One of these creameries is erecting
large additional buildings for the pur-
poses Of its business and a powerful en-
gine to do the churning.
The Sycamore Ol.) Republican hears
OF some DeKalb County farmers who
propose to purchase the oil of oleomar.
garine and make it up into butter by
churning it with milk from their owr
cows. The farmer who adopts this plan
will sooner or later find that he cannot
sell his butter except for grease. II
they are wise they will let oleo. alone.

AnecdOte of Zach Chandler.

When Mr.. Chandler was in the De.

"Mr. Chandler, I presume it is your
intention to have none but correct per-
sons in your Department."
"That is my intention" I
-" Well, sir, do you know that you
have woman in one of the bureaus of
your department who is of bad charac-
ter?"
"No, sir do not know that I have
any, such person in my department -
81 thought you didn't, Mr.. Chandler,
and SO I decided to come and inform
you"
The name of the clerk was then given,
and the charges against her made i'll
more explicit. Mr. Chandler listened
quietly, and finally picked up pen and
handed it to his caller.
'sJust put that down in writing, sir,
and, if it is true, will dismiss the
woman" he said. W.
The accuser hesitated, and said
"Now, 1 hope, Mr.. Chandler, you will
not connect my name with this matter.
I don't want to be known"
, The Secretary thereupon leaned back
in his chair, and said : "You know all
about this woman, and I know nothing
about her. except what you state to me.
But you want me to put a stain on her
reputation upon charges you are unwill-
ing to substantiate with your name.
Never Leave the Office g.
Upon the abrupt departure of the Wis
itor SO dismissed, Mr.. Chandler turned
to one of his clerks and said "He be-
longs to that class of informers who do
not hesitate to ruin q person, but don't
want to assume the responsibility OF
their acts. I cannot be party to any
such transaction"

Oyster MaynataS.

The late Sidney Dorlon, writes the
New York correspondent of the Cincin-
matt Gazette, was the most popular oys-
ter man in America. He began poor,
but left fortune This remarkable de-
gree of success was due to his rare neat
ness and good taste. His place was al
way attractive, and so we're his oysters.
Hence he commanded the best patron
age of the city. Simple as the cooking
of an oyster may seem, there was fasci-
nation in Dorlon's style which few could
approach. He died few years ago,
leaving $1,000, all made in moderately
sized oyster-house. Van Name, who
kept at the corner of Broadway and Full
ton streets, won distinguished reputa-
ton in this line and became rich. He
afterwards got above his business and
caught the fever of renown. Leaving
the oyster saloon, he was induced to aid
in organizing savings bank, of which
he was made President. Instead OF
serving out shilling stews he eat in a
cushioned chair ma business parlor and
signed such papers as were placed in his
/ hands. The result was just what might
be expected. The bank failed, and Van
Name not only lost all his money, but
narrowly escaped an Indictment. It is
a curious featurein the trade that deal.

customers, always nse pail painted blue

Making 1t (;lear.

The Chicago Times says, "Just as
there is character of which is mani
tested in q mode of life, SO there is o
character of men which is manifested in
mode of thought. We ale panied to
see paper which is usually so correct
and reliable as the Times should forget
itself so far as to make statement like
the above. Everybody knows that the
character of men is not manifested in q
mode of thought-at least not nearly SO
much as the mode of thought is mani
tested in the character of men. The char
acter Of the mode of thought depends, al
ways and in every instance, far more
upon the mode of men than it does upon
the character of the manifest, OF YOU cher
We thought everybody knew that. If, as
the Times contends, the character of the
mode of thought is manifested entirely on
the life of men, how, then. is the mode
of character manifested in the thought of
the manifest? 1t does not stand to
reason. Or, again: Should the mode of
thought be manifested entirely in the
character of men, as the Times asserts,
what would be the mode of life manifested
in the character of the thought after it
had become manifested in the thought of
the character Of men? 1t is mis-deal,
as we have got six cards, and the Times
must throw them around again. .-Peck's

Sometimes, when I look back over my
life, am amazed to see how the pages
of its record are dotted with hair-breadth
escapes. I escaped the dangers and
hardships Of the Revolutionary war by
waiting until the war had been over
about sixty years before I got born.
When the Brooklyn Theater burned I
was in Burlington. When the yellow
fever broke out in New Orleans I was in
Minnesota, and Immediately skipped
out for Canada. When was a boy. at
school, one day all the boys in school
were fogged all round for robbing an
apple orchard, and the fogging didn't
do a bit Of good, for every beggar of
them had the cholera morbus all that
night, just the same. And I? I was
attending another school, twenty three
miles distant When all of my brothers
and sisters were down with the scarlet
fever was down South in the army, and
when I read the letters from home I
laughed aloud to think of my great
good fortune, and that I would only
have to be shot at once or twice week
instead of having to take medicine three
times day. When man comes to the
office with little bill, nine times out of
ten I am out. And if, by some aston
ishing blunder, / am in, then indeed I
AM more unfortunate, but the man is in
no better 11ck than before.-Bm'dette,
