the Board heretofore, in this district, to ex-
anime the candidates by written questions

so conducting the examination that the mem.
bers of the Board do not know what num-
Der represents any given candidate until the
final result is reached. l would recommend
a continuance of this practice.
l would also recommend that in addition
to scale for the intellectual examination,
there be one also for the physical, on which
should be noted, not only the health and
physical soundness of the candida e, but his
stature, general bearing, and aptitude for q
soldier, as we'll. The name of the candidate
having the highest average, on combina-
ton of these two scales. should be reported
to me. with all official papers used in the
examination.
The name of the candidate having the
next highest average should also be reported
The cadets will be required to report at
the Academy as early as the 18th of June, A.

The old rule that married woman
shall not run herself or her husband
into debt, except for necessaries of life.
has been sharply REINFORCED by a de-
cision in one of the courts in Pennsyl-
vania. Mrs. Fiegel, wife of the proprie-
tor of "Woodbine Cottage" Philadel-
phia, bought of merchant in that city
silks and jewelry to the value of few
hundred dollars representing to the
dealer that she had'a separate income
of a thousand a year. But the bill
was not paid, though it appeared the
husband was abundantly able to pay.
Suit was accordingly brought against
the husband and wife. but the Judge
would not entertain the suit ON the
ground that husband was not liable
Tor goods furnished TO his wife with
out his expressed authority, unless they
were necessaries, and that a married
woman could not bond her own
separate estate, except for necessaries,
without her husbands consent.

now TO MAKE CREAMERY BUTTER.


promised, some time ago, to give your
readers my way of making g Creamery But
ter liz small way aud now as "Dog Days
are in full blast, end as have had chance
to test the matter in all sorts of weather,
with the mercury far below zero, and from
there away up. among the nineties, | will
now try and give details, so that any one can
follow if they choose, as am sure that there
are very few who have not as good facilities
as l, and great many have better. l also
send you q specimen of butter made this
week from cream that was four days ac-
cumulating, so that you may judge whether
| it is worthy the attention of your readers.
| The COWS are only ordinary stock, with the
exception of one heifer which boasts of dash
of Jersey blood, fed on good up land pasture
and watered with pure well-water The
milk is drawn twice day and strained in
cans that are about eight inches in diameter
and about twenty inches deep. The cans
are set in tank in which the water comes
nearly to the top of the cans, and through
which all the water passes for about ten head
of stock. try to have the milk cooled as
quickly as possible after it is drawn, and al
low it to stand in the water twenty four
hours in warm weather, but when there is
plenty of snow or ice in the water twelve
hours is sufficient The milk is skinned
and the cream put into can of the same
size of the milk cans and set in the tank with
the milk until churned. try TO have the
temperature of the cream about go degrees
Fahrenheit in summer and about 65 degrees
in winter. stop the ehurn when the butter
is in particles about the size of wheat kerr
nels or small peas, draw off the buttermilk
and pour on pailful of cold water for ten
pounds of butter and let ii stand few min
utes. Pour on the water in such way that
the particles of butter will be all separated.
Repeat the operation until the water is quite
clear. Drain thoroughly and add one and
one quarter ounces of the best dairy salt to
each pound of butter If you are careful to
keep it in small particles you can salt by
stirring lightly with the paddle or ladle, and
let it remain in the salt twelve hours or more
for the salt to dissolve. 1t can then be taken
out and worked either in large wooden
bowl or buter-worker by pressure. Avoid
plastering or rubbing, as it makes 1t salvy.
The butter should be packed at once in
warm weather, and if not sent to market |
very soon it should have clean, damp cloth
spread over the tonsand covered with about
half an inch of salt.
should have said before that the cans are
supplied with covers that reach down on the |
outside of the cans and meet the water, thus |
excluding all odors of any kind. Milk thus
kept is not affected by electricity or sudden |
changes in the weather. 6.

A sequel to the Mountain Meadow
massacre and the execution of John D.
Lee, is furnished in the mysterious
death of the eX-Mormon Bishop Philip
Klingen Smith, who exposed the secret
of the massacre and supplied the au-
thorltles with the names of the men
who participated in that bloody act.
Smith was at one time of high stand
ing and great influence in the Mormon
church. His own son accused him of
having taken part in the massacre and
the Mormons were willing to use him
as a scape goat. Smith Immediately, in
1871, gave the names of the murderers
to the county clerk of Lincoln county,
and this led to the trial, conviction and
execution of Lee. After giving his
testimony in the Lee case, Smith re-
marked (: 81 know that the church
will kill me, sooner or later, and am
as confident of that fact as that I am
sitting on this rock. It's only cues.
ton of time; but I'm going to live as
long as | can" The church prohibited
his wife from living with him and she
soon married another Mormon. He
left the country and went to Arizona
where the Mormons tracked him and
made two unsuccessful attempts on his
life. A few weeks ago his dead BODY
was found in prospect hole in the
state of Sonora, Mexico, evidently
murdered, and probably by emissaries
of the Mormon church, which can
murder with impunity and can scorn
the authority of the United States. =

The text of the new French tariff
shows that in some respects it is less
hostile to American interests than il
has been reported. The duty on cheese
is reduced one-half, while butter is
taxed, though it never was before
The duty on metals is cut down, that
on sheet, smooth and hammered iron
being only half as high as before,
There is large reduction in the case
of yarns, wooden and cotton fabrics,
machinery, wrought-iron goods in
general, sporting firearms and musical
instruments. Considerable advantage
will accrue to the United States if the
Golden treaty between France and
England is not renewed. With a re-
ciprocity treaty between this country
and France we should increase to a
wonderful extent our exports of cotton
goods and iron and steel products.

have a solid meal.n
The tramp felt his lame back /,
and rubbed his rheumatic wrists,
and wondered il he wasn't going
to have the ague, bu, couldn't
very well back out. lie rushed
by the small crowd which had
gathered, and when his half hour
was up he was damp clear behind
his ears, and he complained that
his appetite for breakfast had all
been worked away. A compromise
was therefore effected on a cash
basis, and he took two nickels and
hurried off as if he much feared
some one else would try to help
him along by offering him work /.

Other planets go through the same
process. The reason that other
planets differ so much from the

The earth must become old. New

Since then it has been found that

As the earth keeps cooling 1t

1t is estimated that this process
