The Cologne Cathedral.

The Cathedral at Cologne, the grand
est and most impressive ecclesiastical
structure in existence, ranking in this
respect above st. Peters at Rome and
the Milan Cathedral. has been at last
completed, more than six hundred years
after the laying of the foundation stones.
The completion of the building was cele-
brated on Friday last with religious and
civic ceremonies. The city was splen-
didly decorated, large crowds of visitors
from every part of Germany pouring
into the city. The Emperor and EN-
press of Germany were present, were
enthusiastically received, and were
welcomed by the King of Saxony,
Prince Leopold, of Bavaria, Prince Will
lam, of Wurtemburg, and other royal
personages. At eleven o'clock the I'M
perial cortege proceeded to the western
entrance of the Cathedral, where it was
received by the Dean, amid the ringing
of bells and artillery salutes. A ''Te
Deum'' was then sung, after which the
Imperial procession traversed the Cathe-
dral, and on appearing at the southern
entrance there was tremendous and
prolonged cheering The Emperor de-
livered short address. A document
recording the completion of the Cathe-
dral was placed in the keystone of the
tower amid the singing of many socie-
ties, the firing of cannon and cheers
of the spectators. 1t was signed by
the Emperor, the Empress and sixty
five Princes and high official dignita-
ries, The Imperial standard was then
hoisted on one of the spires. The pro-
cession of the Kaiser, Empress, Princes
and Processes from the south portal
of the Cathedral across the square to
the Imperial pavilion was most pictur-
esque. The Emperor in his address
thanked all the German Governments
for their cooperation toward the COM
pletion of the Cathedral, and concluded
by saying, 'Let us all salute this SUI
perb monument, and offer up our pray
ers, that by the grace of the Ali Pow
erful it will continue to, be from every
point of view presage of peace for the
glory of God and for our prosperity y

Christianity in Business.

THE times demand especially the ap-
plication of Christian principles to mer-
camille affairs. The increased facilities
for successful business pursuits now af-
forded are drawing increased numbers
of protested Christians into the whirl-
ing and eddying tide of commerce. If
by this new dangers are incurred by
those thus occupied, there are also at
forded new facilities for doing good by
in new light the excellence
of the Gospel. AS the disciples of the
lowly Savior are now found in the ex-
change, in the marts of trade, and in all
places "where merchants most do con-
so should Christ be there
gloriied in the superexcellence of their
probity, courtesy and unsullied integ
rity. Let Christ be confessed in the
of His grace in the lives
OF His disciples; let a goddess world be
taught that the elevated morality which
is admired in the Christian man of BUSH
ness is the fruit of piety, and the result
of the precepts and the spirit of Chris
tianity in the hearts of its subjects.
The quickened activities of the age
require corresponding energy and de-
votedness in the duties of Christian
ity. Our quickened powers must be
consecrated to Christ in good works.
The great want of the world at this
time is a stronger and more copious in
fusion of the spirit of Christianity in
the common affairs of life. We do not
in any sense disparage the great agen-
cies by which the Church has hitherto
operated-the ministry, the Sabbath and
the ordinances of the sanctuary. But
these, though the most eminent, and
therefore the most conspicuous, are not
all; nor are they. in some aspects of the
case, so great and effective as certain
others. The work of the ministry oc-
cupies one of hundred Christians; but
the Lord has need of GU in diffusing the
doctrines and influences of religion. =

Died Of Medical Etiquette.

A Mr.. JOHN DRoMEY, of the firm O,
Doherty & Dromey, booksellers, Cha
boillez Square, Montreal, died here on
Sunday last, and the conduct of some
medical men in connection with his ILL
ness is considered very singular. DR..
Reid was first called on to attend the
patient, and he prescribed for him. Mr..
Dromey getting worse, DR.. Cameron
was subsequently, sent for, and he or
dered some medicine. On DR.. Reid
returning and finding DIR. Cameron had
been there, he left the house and re-
fused to have anything more to do with
the case. DR.. Cameron came a second
time and, learning of DR.. Reid's visits,
he declined, as matter of etiquette, to
act, the patient in the meantime getting
worse. Other medical men, it is stated,
were called on, but refused on the same
grounds as DR.. Cameron. In the mean
time Mr.. Dromey grew rapidly worse,
and died on Sunday without medical
man seeing him. Application was made
to DIR. Cameron since the death for a
burial certificate, but he refused to give
it, stating that he had not attended the
deceased. DR.. Reid refused at first to
give the certificate, but subsequently
granted it..-Ioronto Mail.

Washing or Working Butter.

Some years ago it was thought that a
great discovery had been made, to the
effect that washing the buttermilk out
was a great injury to butter and so it was
determined that the only way to make
a first class article was to work the but
termilk out and wipe the butter off with
a damp sponge or linen cloth. Well
we remember how the butter expound-
ers rang the changes on this great dis
covery. Many were the theories adj
vanced as to how and why washing in
jured the butter. The saccharine prop
critics were soluble in water, was one.
The delicate flavors were ephemeral
and liable to get washed away, was an
other; and so the sponge took possess
sion of the dairy-house, and such an
abomination as sponge is after it has
been used a few weeks in summer! All
full of old butter that cannot be washed
out-a thing that should be toler-
ated in no well regulated dairy.
The cloth is decidedly better, but
in our opinion an entirely useless arti-
Gle. Clean fresh water can take its
place with far less trouble and no dan
ger. The sole purpose of either wash
ing OF working butter is to free it from
buttermilk before sailing, and either
process, if properly done, will accom-
plish the end in view. The great
trouble in working butter is that it re-
quires decided skill to do it properly,
and while many dairymen understand
the operation, a great many do not; and
as it is very much harder to work than
to wash the buttermilk out, many fail
to entirely rid the butter of it, which
will soon cause the butter to become
rancid, and the working method is per-
haps condemned because it is not prop
erly done. As Ezra Kitchener, a noted
Philadelphia butter maker, says: "Wash-
ing effectually removes the buttermilk,
and can be done in one-fourth the time
required to work it out, which is an
important item to any farmers wife
with her manifold duties. | can
now count a dozen who are wash
ing their butter to one who dio so
ten years ago, and we are not
to suppose they are doing an injury to
their product. While | do not claim
any superiority for washed over worked
butter Gf properly worked), do claim
it is in no wise inferior, and that the
time saved is sufficient if the perform
ance is properly understood, to cause a
very general adoption of the method"
The action of water on unsalted but
ter is purely mechanical, carrying Oft
only the buttermilk, because it is solu-
BILE in water and really mingles with it.
AS to the flaNors and delicate aromas
being carried off by water, we cannot
believe it, as this is now almost the uni
versal practice in the largest and most
noted creameries in the country. Fresh
running water as near to sixty-fve de-
grees is the best for this purpose. If
the water is allowed to be so warm as
to melt, or render the butter quite soft,
it will certainly do harm, but this should
of course be avoided if to accomplish 1t
ice should have to be used. If the water
is too cold it will stiffen the butter so
that all the buttermilk cannot be reached
and thus do injury. If properly used it
is perfectly innocent and most conven-
ient.-Americaaa D0irynaan.
