The Treasury of the City of Boston has been

ment, and James A. Woodward, for fifteen
years in the citv's service, is missing He was
a bachelor However, hundreds of letters from
a woman named Amy Knowlton, were found in
his desk, either asking for sums ranging from
800 to $500, or acknowledging the receipt of
the same. Amy Knowlton is a starry aspirant
for the dramatic stage. An investigation Of
the books began last February. but no positive
evidence of embezzlement was obtained until
last week, when a check for $780, 600 at the
bank could not be accounted for on the stubs
of the check book. Mr.. Woodward's attention
was called to the matter, but he explained that
the credit, by an inadvertance was made two
weeks later, and that he wouid produce the evil
dence. This explanation occurred at his home,
during the evening, and seemed to satisfy the
Investigators for the moment. However, it
only gave Mr. Woodward an opportunity to
escape, and he made good use of it.

HOW BUTTER MAY BE SPOILED.

Good butter may be spoiled in the
churning. Over-churning ruins the tex
ture and changes the proper Weakness to
disagreeable, sticky greasiness. This
is more easily done in the churns with
revolving dashers, which will press the
butter against the side Of the churn and
squeese and rub it until it is spoiled.
Too long churning spoils the quality by
the oxidation of the butter and the pre-
mature formation of strong-favored acids
in it, the full preserving presence Of
which we call rancidity. 1t may be spoil
ed by churning at too high tempera-
ture, by which it is made soft and oily.
and of greasy texture and flavor. No
subsequent treatment can remedy this
error. 1t may be spoiled before the
cream reaches the churn by keeping this
too long, or what is practically the same,
by keeping it in too warm place; sc
degrees is about the right temperature il
cream is kept week; if it is kept at 81
degrees, three days are long enough
White specks are produced in butter by
over churning, or by having the cream
too sour. Either of these faults produ
ces curd in the milk and the small fakes
of this cannot be washed out of the but
ter. Mild from cow in i'll health, ant
that is an acid when drawn, will produc,
specky butter. So will the use of sal
containing particles of lime, which unit
with the butter and form insoluble linn,
soap. White specks are covered up t,
a large extent by using good coloring
which is made of oil as the solvent. Blu
this use of coloring, being to disguis
fault and to add an undeserved virtue
is worthy of the denunciation Of even tn
Farmers Club.

MIXING THE MILK OF DIFFER
ENT HERDS.

A correspondent of the american Cut-
ticator gives some curious facts in regard
to the Yield of butter where the milk of
Jerseys aud Shorthorns was mixed. A
Conway dairyman, who gets the highest
prices for his butter makes the following
statement: This fall added to the
number of my cows two high grade Jer-
seys. l soon found, on weighing my but
ter product that the addition made no
perceptible increase over the previous
quantity of butter. l concluded at once
that my Jerseys were at fault. | next
set the milk of each of the suspected Jer-
seys by itself, and found that one made
IL pounds of butter, the other a little
less; also that the original herd yielded
as before"
Again, a Whately dairyman, owning
IL COWS, mostly Jerseys, remarked, on
putting his cream into the large churn.
that there was cream sufficient in guam
tity to produce 60 or rs pounds of but
ter. Yet, upon churning and weighing
there was found to be but 80 pounds.
The next week he kept the milk of his
grade Jerseys and Shorthorns separate,
though churning eight days cream in
stead of seven as in the first experiment.
However he was grati6ed at securing
83 IL pounds of butter.
A friend and townsman, who last win
ter kept 19 cows, grade Jerseys and
Shorthorns, found that his animals were
not making the usual returns in butter,
the Yield being but about five pounds per
COW. weekly. Finally he set the milk of
each cow separately, with the result that
he had't single cow that yielded less
than six pounds, while several gave up
wards of nine pounds each. The result
of these several tests show, at least, that
the milk of Shorthorns and Jerseys can
not be mingled proftably for butter max
ing.

CANON OAKELEY.-The late Canon
Oakeley when child derived from his
mothers teaching great proficiency in
music. When four years old he could
reproduce simple airs on the piano, and
when eight the organist of Lichfeld
cathedral allowed him to play the chant
on week days. Canon Oakley is said to
have been the first among London cler-
gymen to introduce that form of exter-
nal worship now known as Ritualism.
His innovations, however, were far with
in the bounds Of what is now practiced
and tolerated in the Church of England.
But they produced a series of painful
struggles at the time. He was one Of
the earliest of the Tractarians, and
joined the Church of Rome about the
same time with DR.. Newman. Cardinal
Wiseman very speedily admitted hin
into Roman orders. and placed him il
charge of an important church at lsling
ton. Cannon 0akeley was the young
est son Of Sir Charles Oakeley, who a
one time was Governor of Madras.

ASKING TO GO HoME.-The Spring
field Sabbath Republican has pretty
story of two little children who went
alone on a recent Sunday to church,
when a minister from out of town
preached. They took a seat near the
front, and after the minister had got
we'll into his sermon the smallest child
whispered to his sister that he would
like 10 60 home. People who sat behind
them heard the little girl tell him that
he must not 60 without asking the min
listers permission so hand in hand they
left they seat, and standing before the
clergyman, the little chap lisped out his
petition. The minister was naturally
surprised, but, without interrupting his
discourse nodded his assent. That did
not satisfy the children, and again the
boy asked permission to go, and was an
swered by another nod. The little girl,
fearing the minister had not undertood
her brother, said, "Please, sir, may
brother and 60 homer" The minister
stopped and verbally granted their re-
quest, and, with a sweet "thank you,
sir" and courtesy, the children went
down the aisle together.

The FIRST BENJAMIN DIsRAELI.-In
the Spanish and Portuguese cemetry in
the Mile-end-road, London, the tomb of
Benjamin Disraeli, the grandfather of
Lord Beacons6eld, and the founder of
the family in England, has recently
been repaired by having the inscription
recut and reprinted. At whose orders
the work was done is not publicly
known. The instructions came through
an influential member of London Jew
ish congregation, but it is believed by
The Jea0ih World that they came
primarily from the Minister himself.
In the same cemetry Lord BeacOns6eld's
mother also is buried, but her tomb
stone, through in very dilapidated
state, has not been touched. The in.
scription on his fathers tomb contains
these words: SACRED to the memory Of
Benjamin Disraeli. Born End Septem

JOHN THE BAPTIST AND
JESUS CHRIST.

John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ,
In their relations to another, are the
symbols of great and eternal facts in
religious truth and experience. These
two figures and these two lives pass
before us like beautiful and instructive
allegory. On the one hand, we see
starting up in the Wilderness wild,
rude form, wrapped in coarse blanket,
with countenance expressive of spirit
ual sadness and wearing the traces of
ascetic habit. The desert resounds with
his stern accents, aud all hearts fail
under his searching and unsparing ex-
posure of their sin. Is not this the i'm
memorial type of law, and of the Repen-
lance with which it is commissioned to
work in awakened conciences
And now this other figure, which
comes treading in the footsteps of the
desert preacher. On his face is most
winning light. His voice is sweet and
law, his food and dress are those of
other men his way is among their homes
and hauts /; he gives his sanction to social
and domestic life; he is the healer of
the blind, the leprous and the demoniac;
on his lips is the word of pardon and
peace, he comes to seek and to save
that which was lost. He is more than
the type, he is the incarnate realization,
of the Gospel. He represents Faith
and Forgiveness, those elements of re-
ligious truth and experience which are
to the former as the time of the tender
grape and the voice Of the turtle dove
the appearing of flowers and the green
fig, the time of the singing of birds, is
to the winter when it is past and the
rain when it is over and gone. For il
is the voice Of our Beloved, who has
come over the mountains of our sin, anC
standing by the wall of our earthly
homes shows himself through the lattice
of our daily lives.-ChriStian Intel6

BEE NoTEs.-lf you should lose
swarm of bees this winter don't destroy
the comb or make wax of it, but clean
all dead bees from the cells, brush and
clean the hive well, and set it away for
use in the swarming season, "Do you
mean to put swarm into that in the
spring." asks some one. Certainly l
do; why not? The comb, if melted and
made into wax, would be worth but a
few cents, for there is hardly ever two
pounds of comb in full hive /; and while
your bees are making one pound of comb
they could store twenty pounds of honey.
Therefore if your bees have no comb to
build, they can make an extra amount of
honey and you will be the gamer
thereby. Bees can only make cell in
warm weather, and for that rerson they
quit work in the boxes sooner than in
the main hive, where there is more heat
than in separate boxes Westerm Hon.

You will have more or less of these,

the worst of them all. 1t fortunately
happens that in killing one you mostly
destroy the others. On the whole, /

than carbolic soap, especially that form

or syringed with it. Let it dry on.
1t will kill all the insects above named,
if thoroughly applied. Tobacco dust
is good remedy for the Green Fly and

save tubful of strong soapsuds on

and put plant before him with every

1t should be in south room. A beau
tiful plant, for either south or an east
room, is Lopezia elegans. 1t is in
bloom nearly all winter. 1t should be
pinched back during the summer till
about September, allowing no flowers to

than Ivy.
For warm south room plant of
Heliotrope is indispensable for its CRATE

of the winter-fowering Begonias are
desirable for their constant and graceful

There are no better plants for rooms
