THE COOLEY CREAMER.-This method
of "deep-setting of milk is coming into
SO general use that, at the recent dairy
fair in New York, it was not shown as a
novelty" but took its place as COM
mon and Indispensable adjunct to the
dairy. With a Cooley Dreamer dairy
man is entirely Independent of the wealth
er, and his product is uniform at all
times. 1t is in this, as we'll as in its
convenience, that the Cooley process of
setting milk commends itself to all who
make butter. From our foreign exchanges
we infer that it has been quite extern
sively introduced into use in Great Brit
ain.-Atbany Country Gentleman.

Senator Edmunds and Thurman had
a bright little passage of arms the 9TH
er day. In executive session Thurman
was quietly listening and smoking when
Edmunds objected to the confirmation of
certain Ohio nominee. Thurman, put
ting aside his cigar and springing to his
feet, said: ''Mr President. had not
intended to say single word upon this
matter, but the Senator from Vermont
has thrown brick at an Ohio man, but

with assumed seriousness, retorted,
"You can't throw brick in any direc-
ton these days without striking an Ohio
man"

THE CHANGING BALANCE OF
TRADE.

The advocates of the sslet we'll enough
alone" policy In our finances have relied
with a faith almost grotesque on the re-
tention of the gold which has come to US
during the past year for our excess of
exports. They will regard with some
disquiet. if their complacency can yield
to disquiet from any cause. the evidences
which are accommodating that this excess
is steadily falling off, not by any de-
crease in the exports, but by decided In
crease in our imports for they cannot
ignore the conclusion that if this change
continues long enough there will be a
tendency of gold away from US. We
published yesterday morning an abstract
of the report of the Bureau of Statistics,
covering the calendar years 1873 and
1879. We commended them to the close
attention of those who imagine that we
can safely trust to a continuance of the
conditions which have enabled the Gov
ernment to make nominal resumption
of specie payments, and which have SO
far prevented any exposure of the I'M
reality of that resumption. Following
are the figures for 1878 and 1879:

$82,000,000, in round numbers our
exports have advanced only $4,000
900, and the favorable balance has fall
en- away $56.00o,0oO. 1t is true that
we still have balance for the year of
$24l. 100000, but the figures published
for December and January, relating to
the Customs receipts, show still more
rapid rate Of increase in imports, and
indicate for the latter month an actual
excess over the exports of the same Pc
Rod.
If these were statements covering only
a short space of time, or if they were
opposed to what might be expected to be
the results of the forces known to be at
work, we might afford to disregard them.
But, SO far from this, the statements
cover two entire years, and they show
the natural and inevitable effect of ten
denotes that are familiar to all intelli-
gent observers, and that have been
pointed out time and again in these col
umns. Our favorable balance of trade
was due to an exceptionally large de-
mand for food from abroad, and an ex-
ceptionally light demand for foreign
products in this country. The latter
from steady fall in prices produced by
their adjustment to the new condition of
things which followed the collapse of in
fated credit in 1874, and which was
fastened by the efforts Of the country to
reach payments in specie. The former
of these cause.-the unusual foreign de-
mand for food-fell upon time when
two great harvests were had in our coun-
try, and when the shrinkage of prices
had reached the specie level, and the
demand for imported goods was at its
lowest. The immediate result was
necessarily the payment of the exports,
first in American securities, which have
been practically drained from foreign
markets, and then in gold. This gold,
on arriving in this country, instead of
being used to pay the legal-tender notes
and replaced them, was added to the
outstanding currency. Prices rose &C
cordingly, and as all such movements
tend to run to extremes, the advance in
prices was far beyond the proportionate
increase in the currency. Nor this alone.
Nearly all the securities sent to this
country in payment of our exports be-
came basis for new trade transactions,
nearly in the same degree, though not
in the same manner, that would have
happened had the payment been in mon.
ey. The consequence was an imitation
of prices, and Of credit, which has rang.
ed from so per cent. to $50 per cent,
and which has had the natural and in.
evitable effect of producing additional
importations. With this advance il
home prices, exports, in their turn, tend
to become less profitable. and nothing i:
more certain than reaction IN foreign
trade. first toward restoration of tn,
balance, and then toward an excess o.
imports.-N. Z. Times.

HealthfulneSS of Milk.

IF any one wishes to grow feshy, a
pint of milk taken before retiring at
night will soon cover the scrawniest
bones. Although nowadays we see a
good many fieshy persons, there are a
great many lean and lank ones, who
sigh for the fashionable measure of
plumpness, and who would be vastly
improved in health and appearance
could their figures be rounded with
good, solid flesh. Nothing is more GOV
eted by thin women than full figure,
and nothing will SO raise the ire and
provoke the scandal of the ssclipper
builds" as the consciousness of plump.
ness in rival.
In cases of fever and summer COM
plant milk is now given with excellent
results. The idea that milk is feverish
has exploded, and it is now the physi-
clans great reliance in bringing through
typhoid patients, or those in too low a
state to be nourished by solid food. It
is mistake to scrimp the milk pitcher.
Take more milk and buy less meat.
Look to your milkman have large
sized, well-flled milk pitchers on the
table each meal, and you will have sound
flesh and save doctors bills.

What We Think With.

Without phosphorus, no thought. So
declared a famous German physiological
chemist, some years ago. That partlc-
ular brain substance, which he supposed
to be essential to thought, has heretofore
been known as protogen with phosphoric
acid. Considering this name not SUI
fciently clear and definite, another
German chemist has proposed for it the
following precise and significant combi-
nation Of seventy two letters: Oxaethe
yltrimethylammo niumoxy dhy drateleyl-
opalmethy oglycerinp hosphorsaure. If
mental arrangement is in any way due
to deficiency in the elements Of this
highly complicated compound, or to any
snaring of its mulitudinous constitu-
ents, the wonder is that anybody can
ever think straight.

Cemeteries.

The old system Of cutting cemetery
grounds into small lots surrounded BY
hedges bids fair to pass away entirely.
All over the country the park landscape
or lawn system is gaining favor. It CON
sists in series of plantations of shrubs
and trees, so arranged that the effect Of
the entire cemetery, from the main
drives, is that of an extensive paralk,
evidence Of existing burial grounds be-
ing shut off by foliage. Of course, in
this system, the hedge-and-fence mon
strosity finds no>place. Vaults or cata-
combs are excavated in the hillsides,
and memorial buildings of all kinds
erected in retired hooks. More land is
required. for this arrangement, but its
attractive. rural character seems to COM
mend it to all.

What Should Women Learn?

Within the past few years much has
been written about female emancipation
and equal education for boys and girls.
The inefficient systems Of female educa-
ton have been recognized from the days
Of Dean Swift down, but much of the
present higher educational idea is surely
at fault.
Women are to learn all their mothers
learned, and all their brothers learn,
too; they are to stoop over desks more,
do more sums, ald pass more examina-
tons. s"s-ss-r. g. f.as 49,

delve, like fair ghouls, in the graves Of
dead languages. There certainly is no
objection to their studying Greek, es-
pecially if they would read the story of
Nausicaa, and, following her example,
learn to play ball, even if they do not
like her, wash the household clothes.
But for the average country girl, who,
when she marries, must expect to be
housekeeper, head nurse and half a
dozen other things beside, the dead
languages and higher mathematics are
not as useful as an accurate, if not very
deep, knowledge of natural sciences and
philosophy And here let me quote
from Canon Kingsley to define an edu-
Gated person can educated person is

A Wonderful Feat of Memory.

The history of the celebrated conjur-
er, Robert Houdin, furnishes remark
able example Of the power of memory
acquired by practice. He and his broth
er, while yet boys, invented a game
which they played in this wise: they
would pass shop window and glance
into it as they passed, without stopping,
and then at the next corner compare
notes and see which could remember the
greatest number Of things in the win
dow, including their relative positions.
Having tested the accuracy of their OBJ
servations, they would 60 and repeat the
experiment elsewhere. By this means
they acquired Incredible powers of obser-
Walton and memory, so that after run
ming by shop window once, and glanc-
ing as they passed, they would enumer-
ate every article in it.
. When Robert became O professional
conjuror,, this habit enabled him to
achieve feats apparently miraculous.
1t is told of him that, visiting friends
house where he had never been before,
he caught a glimpse of the bookcase as
he passed the half-open library door.
In the course of the evening, when some

~, ''that is too good" rz- f..e.z

"Let some Of the company 60 into the
library and look, and I shall call out the

and Houdin began: ''Top shelf, left

there sat the conjuror, with his hands in
his pockets, looking into the fire.
