SEDENTARY HABITS.

The alarming increase Of late years
in the proportion of sudden deaths is
beginning to attract the attention OF
statisticians, 1t is largely due, no
doubt, to more general mental activity
without proportionate increase IN
bodily exercise. The busy life of the
age demands q constant hurry and ex.
citement, and taxes the physical pow.
ers to the utmost to keep up in the
race for money getting. One OF the
disadvantages of introducing facilities
of transportation is the temptation tc
cut short time and distance by the
habitual use of steam cars and horse
cars even in the daily transit from the
dwelling TO the office. A sedentary
occupation begets an almost uncon.
querable aversion to regular exercise
and the result of yielding to the indis,
position is that the mental powers,
kept at a steady tension for years
will some day suddenly relax and leave
their abuser eiiher liioless or help.
less paralytic. To literary and pro.
fessional men is vigorous and regular
exercise especially needful, and the ex.
ample OF its effects in hale old age
will suggest themselves to every one
The exercise needed to keep the mind
in tone and the physical force unabat
ed up to the four score years and ten,
is not daily spin behind a fast step
ping horse, but the long swinging gait
which puts the walker over country
road at the rate of four or five mile,
an hour, and sends the blood pulsing
with inyigorating life to every portion
of the system. Two hours exercise
a day, so FAR from being waste of time
is positive economy, supplying the
nervous force for more and better
work in ten hours than the man oI

WINTER BUTTER.

How difficult it is to get good win
ter made butter. Often know by
the taste just where the difficulty lies.
Butter makers sometimes let the cream
stand too long before skimming, and
one can hardly believe, from the taste
that their butteris really fresh. Some
times butter flavor comes from lack
OF care in keeping the rising cream
undisturbed. The pans are dipped
into, and in skimming for butter the
second rising over q part of the pan,
which has q somewhat bitter flavor,
goes in with the better cream, and
spoils the taste of the whole. Then
the cream may DO kept in the jar too
long before churning, while the butter
maker waits for enough cream TO ac-
cumulate TO make it worth while 10
churn. 1t would be better in this case
to bring the butter by stirring it in
the jar with ladle or pudding stick
il enough cream cannot be gathered
within a week (at longest in cold
weather. TO fill the churn 80 as to work
it we'll. In this case, skim the cream
off very slowly, or free from milk
and if you stir each skimming in with
the Others as you put il in the jar (thii
should always be done), and then warm
the cream moderately before churning
it is no difficult task to bring the butter
by stirring. | have eaten excellent
butter made IN this way. Some per
sons never make good butter in winter
because they keep their milk among
bad odors, as in cellar with turnips
