Cleansing the Milk Vessels.

According TO the National Lire
Stock Journal, there is a good frac-
ton of the success in butter making
dependent on the proper cleaning of
dairy untensels. Some appear to
think it will do just as well to wait
few hours before the milk pals are
washed and scalded; that the churn
may stand whole or half day before
being washed and the germs of de-
cay Killed by heat; that the cream
pail may be used for several patches
of cream before thorough cleansing,
because sweet cream is going into
it again that the butter worker may
stand until you want to use it again
before scalding, because it will then
be freshly cleansed when you use
it. etc.
There is altogether too much OF
this needless way of carrying on but
ter making. The heterogeneous por-
ton of milk (caseine) furnishes just
the substance required for ferments ;
for the development of germs wholly
inimical to pure milk or butter.
These ferments remain in the crew.
ces of wood, or the same of tin YES
sells, and, unless they are dislodged
by immediate cleansing, it requires
boiling or steaming for consider
able length oftime to dislodge them.
Every utensil, after its use, must be
cleansed if you wish to prevent faint
in your milk, cream or butter.
Wooden pals are now discarded
from use by the managers of our
cheese factories, because few can be
trusted to properly cleanse them.
If they were Immediately subject
ed to steam heat by boiling water
after each use, they would be sweet,
but this steam or boiling water re-
quires to penetrate every pore. The
dairymaid or operator can not be too
prompt in cleansing dairy utensils.

Perfectly Lovely"

| Even worse than spirited bit OF
slang with a grain of sense to start
it is this universally used and sense
less phrasel 1t is applied to any
thing and everything. 1t seems to
stand instead of ideas, of sentiment
of appreciation, and of common
sense.
Go into the rooms of the young
ladies in our colleges for women
where you expect something better,
and where something better should
be heard. But listen! The first
words that salute you are. you are
perfectly lovely to Gomez" and,
'Isn't the day just lovely" and,
"Look at these ferns and bright
| leaves on the wall. Aren't they per
fectly lovely ?"
With these yonng women, every
thing that isn't perfectly 'horrid'
and lawful" is "perfectly lovely"
or a sausage, if it suits the appetite.
ltOok a young girl last spring with
me from Brooklyn to Central Park.
She was bright, agreeable, pretty,
and animated. But her exclusive
use of this phrase seemed almost in
tolerable, before we had seen half
the spring-time glory of that de-
lightful place.
The phrase destroys conversation
more easily than series of sickly
puns. 1t is an extinguisher of ideas.
1t certainly must eventually enfee-
BILE the minds of those who allow it
to express for them all they feel.
Children catch it who can not
speak plain, and pronounce doll or
plaything 'perfiy lubly."
Whenever | hear it, l always want
to exclaim, "Oh girls, do stop! Bet
ter take up the forcible language of
your brothers, than weaken all you
say by this meaningless, WORKOUT
sentence"
Girls ought to be able to talk well
on current topics-boOks, new and
old, and all that interests their
brothers. But do they show them
selves competent to carry on con-
versatlon that will stimulate and re-
fresh those they meet? Good talk
ers never fail to interest and to
charm but a young woman whose
ideas are only broad enough to be
expressed in the words "awful,"
''horrid," and perfectly lovely" will
hardly be classed as one of them.

RELIGIOUS NOTES.

His internal majesty (says the
Jewish Ii1bune) will rejoice-the
vacation of clergymen is at hand.
Churches will be closed and-Iiades
will prevail.
Pope Leo has directed the
Jesuit missionaries in Africa ito fol-
low up the movement of the here
ties, and to harass and destroy their
their effects"
There are $4,000 stated ministers
of all denominations in Great
Britain, and an average Sunday at
tendance upon public worship of
100000 persons.
The Baptists in Scotland report
that in the last five years more
Baptist chapels have been built and
more old debts paid off than in the
previous forty years.
DIR. Adam Stuart Muir, who
made a defense of Mary Queen of
Scots recently, has been arraigned
therefor by the Free Presbytery of
Edinburgh, and asked to hand over
his manuscript for examination, on
the ground that he has caused pub
lie scandal
Among the Baptists at Columbus,
Georgia; there has been great re-
vival. The pastor of the First Afri-
can Church recently administered
the ordinance of baptism to twenty
six candidates. Five or six thousand
people of all colOrs and shades of
color lined the river bank to see the
sight.
Fn
veniences and infelicities in the eX-
listing verse divisions of our Bibles.
But there are also some exceedingly
useless helps to the ordinary reader,
in the verse as well as the chapter or
paragraph divisions For one
thing, it serves to individualize and
put forth in distant relief the in
spired utterances of Scripture, and
so help the memory. The popular
vote, we are pretty sure, would be
against the entire adjustment of the
subordinate verse paragraphs. The
mere marginal numbering is not
enough
AS to the introduction of the
"Revised Version" into the churches,
the opinion prevails in certain Pres
byterian circles that it will be irreg-
ular and unlawful. The impression
is that the authorized version"
alone can be used. This impression
is based on the Directory of Wor-
ship, chapter 3, section 2, which
provides that "the Holy Scriptures
shall be publicly read from the most
approved translations in the vulgar
tongue" But there is no direction
as to by whom the translation shall
be "the most approved" Presume
bly, the minister has right to APP
prove it for himself and use it on
the strength of such appreciation.
The Presbyterian Church has
never definitely committed itself to
the King James version any more
than to Tyndale's or Wickliffe's.
There is nothing to hinder any
clergyman of this church or of the
Methodist, Baptist or COngrega-
tioLal from to-day reading his Scrip
ture lessons out of any version of
the Bible which may seem good to
him.

The troubles at Marseilles have
somewhat interfcred with the pas

large numbers usually taking that

The Prussian government has
ordered the provincial authorities to

"A dispatch from the Spanish
Consul at Oran intimates that 100
Spaniards were massacred by the
Algerian insurgents during the re-

The Standards correspondent at
Rome says preiate will start next
week on a confidential mission from
the Pope to Ireland to report the
true state of affairs. Catholic bish-
ops in America are specially in
structed to exhort their flocks to alb

promote a civil war in Ireland.
"A memorial of Mr.. Gladstone on
the International Monetary Confer

as may be in its power towards in

states concerned to rehabilitate sill

The letter recently addressed to
the Emperor of Russia and all the
high officials, assuring them that
they have not been sentenced to
death by the revolutionists, and
which is supposed 10 have emanated
from the leaders of the "Black Di-

executive committee deems it quite
necessary at present to repeat its
criminal enterprises, as the measures
of the new ministers are fast driving
the country into revolution"

The Churchman calls attention
to g popular misrepresentation. There
is no canon, it says, which prevents
an Episcopal clergyman from preach
ing in church of another denomina-
ton, as has been frequently charged,
but there is an express prohibition
of a clergyman preaching within the
parish of another clergyman in an
other diocese. This is the ground
of complaint against DR.. Van
Bokkelin. 1t says: ~There is moth
ing in the csnons or in the spirit OF
the church to preclude the occupa.
ton of every Presb yterian pulpit in
New York the coming Sunday If the
courtesy was offered"

A CORRESPONDENT of the Boston

praise by refusing to credit them
with as much modesty, determine
