The President has fought ont the strug-

oealingly said that he did not think it
was any use for him to continue the

preston of q strong, plucky man who

OLEOMARGARINE-HOW
ORIGINALLY MADE
New York Shipping List)

In looking up the history of oleo.
m ,rgarine it is found to have been
manufactured many years since in
Paris called margarine INQUIRIES,
as manufactured by Il French chem
ist, NJ. Mege Mouries, who surmis-
ed that the formation of butter con-
tained in milk is due to the absorp-
ton of fat contained in the animal
TISSUES, and thus was led to expert
ment on the splitting up of animal
fat. The process he adopted con-
sisted in beating finely minced beef
suet with water, carbonate of potash
and fresh sleeps stomachs cut up
in small pieces. The mixture he
raised to temperature of 45 de-
grees G. 113 degrees Fah). The
influence OF the pepsine of the ami
mails stomoch with the heat separ-
ated the fat from the cellular tissue.
He then removed the fatty matter.
and submitted 1t when cool to pow
erful hydraulic pressure, separating
it from stearine and ol,omargarine,
which last he used alone for butter
making. Of this fat about the pro-
portion of ten pounds, with four
pints of milk and three pints of
water, were placed in churn, to
which a small quantity of annatto
wos added for coloring, and the
whole churned together. The COM
pound, when well washed, resem-
bled butter. He called this COM
pound "oleorhargariue," from the
old idea. now disproved. that
fat margarine existed in butter and
suet. "Oleo" is manufactured at
from onp-fiflh to one-third of the
cost If butter.
Butter of good quality is the most
digesiible form of fat, while in flavor
it is SO delicate and little pro-
that it is always accept
able to the palate. 1t is u substance
that affords great scope for adul-
teration, and its composition makes

stcted by their different melting
points, by microscopial examination

EVERYBODY PAYS CASH

A special correspondent of the
New York Tribune brings to light
Il very important fact and feature
of trade, III Il letter from Franklin,
Louisiana. Franklin is the centre
of tie sugar producing district
The writer says the condition OF
labor on the sugar plantations is su-
perior to that of an, other agricul-
tural work i'll the South. The EN-
ployers of labor are Intelligent and
liberal i'll their treatment of help,
while the laborers are Industrious,
cheerful and apparently well con-
tented. The most of them have n
house and portion of land, from one
to tive acres, Set apart for their own
use, to ralse vegetables, etc. They
use their employers teams to do
the plowing without charge. The
land is fertile and the crops are
sood. "One great feature of sure-
riorty," says the writer, "as COM
pared with agricultural labor in
other regions of the South which
[ have visited, is that here "eperv-
body pays cash" and there is no
ruinous credit system. This i'm
presses one as something wonderful
and scarcely possible alter the long

hibitions of the evils of the credit

the story. The almost universal
credit, or, as the correspondent
Justly terms it. the ".lebt system.
is the bane of employer aud lnborer.
1t not only tends to keep the
peor le- employer and employees
in turmoil, but 1t impoverishes them
both; Id fact keeps the whole COM

A story is told of an old fnrmer,
whose son had for a long time been
ostensibly studying Latin in popu-

perfectly satisfied with the course
and conduct of the young hopeful,
recalled him from school, and
placing him by the side of cart
one day. he thus addressed him:
Now, Joseph, here is fork, and
theie is cart; what do you call
them in Latin p "Forkibus, carti-
bus ct manuribus," said Joseph.
Well, now" said the old man, If
You don't take that forkibus pretty
