While we have been enjoying the sight Of
Venus in the West, and Jupiter followed by
Saturn in the South, during the last month,
in the evening, Mars has been hid from cur
sight, but it must be to-day an hour and six
minutes ahead of the Sun, and we ought to
see it, early in the morning in the Southeast,
and Mercury ought to make psras dying visit
also, and to-day it must be 81 deg. West of
Mars Next Monday morning, Dec. 18th,
Mercury will be at its greatest distance West
Of the Sun, and Mars will be 81 deg. East and
81 deg. SoutR ofMercafy Eve have learned
by experience that it is very hard to get
sight of Mercury without telescope, and I
have for some mornings looked diligently in
the Southeast bilt' clouds have been near the
horizon about all the time, yet last Saturday
morning, little after o'clock, there was
break in the clouds, and | saw there beauti-

Mars which has been gone so long l tried
bard to find The other but could not, and l am
afraid Mercury is going to turn its dark side
to US this time as it has before. AS the Sun
works to the East lin its great journey among
the fixed Stars, it takes Mercury along with it,
and the little wanderer is now in Libra but
by next Monday morning it will be in the
Scorpion about 10 deg. Northwest Of the

pears no larger than Venus does TO us, and IL

How the Sayages Live.

From Lecture by Miss Josephine Meeker.
The Utes live principally on bread
and meat. When they can't get bread
they live on meat, and when they can't
get meat they live on bread. When
they have great quantity of provisions
on hand they eat it all UP before get
ting any more. The same is true when
they have q small quantity on on hand,
They are dirty. They are even very
dirty. Their meat is generally per
mitted to lie about on the ground or any
place. Each Indian family possesses any
number of dogs from eight to fifteen, and
these animals help themselves to the
meat. After they have satisfied them,
selves, and when the Indians become
hungry, they cut from the same piece on
which the dogs feed. They generally
boil their meat, but sometimes they
broil it. They put it in water and let
it remain only few minutes, Just long
enough to heat, when they take it out
snd begin to eat. They use the same
water and the same pail for boiling over
and over again, until the water becomes
s perfect slime of filth. One pot gener-
ally does service for the entire family.
Luis PaihouIai pOL IL Trying pan.
When the Utes get out of bed they wash
their faces and bathesthe baby in it, after
which they bake the bread and boil the
meat. Then they eat out of the vessel,
and then the dog ticks up the leavings,
They clothe Themselves with skins of
animals or with blankets. They gener-
ally take 8 blanket or 8 skin and cut a
hole in the middle of it and throw it
over their heads, cutting armholes and
fastening the garment at the waist with
wide belt, while they close up the
neck with buckskin string. Wien the
garment wesrs out they cut the string
and let it drop, but not before. Some.
times the Indians will wear as many rs
five Of these garments at time, always
keeping the cleanest one on the outside

WINTER BUTTER.

Good roll butter, worth 20 cents, is
very much needed, and we urge upon
our dairy friends to pay good attention
to the making Of winter butter. We
have been much interested in the de-
scription of the new inventions at the
great dairy fair at New York. Among
the especial features of interest were
seven pew and distinct inventions for
the separation of butter from the milk
by what is known as the centrifugal pro-
cess. By this process the milk, fresh
from the cows, is placed in a cylinder
which reVolves at the rate of 200 revO-
lutions minute. The result is that the
heavier portion seeks the surface, and
the lighter portion the center, whence
the latter is drawn off. A great saving
of time is thus effected, in the manufac
ture of butter. With the old process it
required from SO to 48 hours to cool the
milk and separate the cream, whereas,
with the new process, only about 20
minutes are needed to produce butter
from the fresh milk. The Swedish or
cold-setting process of making butter
was also illustrated. This process con-
sists in placing fresh milk in vessels 10
refrigefators, and by lowering the tenn
perature to 80 degrees or 36 degrees
Fahrenheit, forcing the cream to the
surface in from to twelve hours.
