she Cannot Recall 1t.

4. .a n .
A married woman in Stockton, Cal.,
was taken dangerously i'll some time ago,
and, believing that she was about to die,
made confession to her husband, in
order to relieve her own conscience and
obtain his forgiveness. The husband
learned something which surprised him.
The wife was very prepossessing young
woman and was of q very loving disposi-
ton. In fact, she admitted that she had
SO much love to spare that she>distribut
it around to her gentl friends in the
most liberal manner. She named about a
dozen gentlemen friends of her husband
With whom she had proved unflithful to
her marriage vows. Among these was a
prominent church elder, who is not now
residing in Stockton. The others are
now in business in that city, some oi
whom have grown-up daughters and
moee in the best circles of Stockton
society. The husband granted his errine
wife absoiutlon, and she, finding that her
soul was saved, conceived a violent desire
to save her body also. and TO the surprise
OF her husband recovered. Now the
husband is going for divorce, and
several exemplary StocktoniaR heads OF
families are shaking in their boots.

The Creamery Systems.

A correspondent asks if creamery but
ter is better than the choice dairy article
! to which we answer no. Then asks the
same correspondent, why is it that
creamery butter brings so much higher
price in the markets? This is easily an
swered. Dairy butter is made in small
lots, and scarcely any two dairy women
make their butter precisely alike.
The result is that when this butter is
gathered up and carried into the market
It cannot be put together as homogen-
eous lot, having the same shade ofcolor,
the same flayoping with salt and if it be In
prints, stamped with the same stamp. For
our own table use We prefer the nice
dairy butter, and we believe where it is
made as it should be it may be better
than that made from travelled milk,
which becomes partly or;wholly cooled
before H is set for cream, OF from the
milk of several single dairies mixed to-
gether. But from the creamery come
large lots of homogeneous butter, of good
quality, and that is what the dealers like
to handle and what city customers like
to buy.
The proper distinction between cream
cry and dairy butter does not seem to be
very well understood, as indicated by
our correspondents, who asks why his
butter is not creamery butter when he
uses patent creamery? Now creamery
butter, properly speaking, is that made
from the milk or cream Of seveaal dair-
les brought together and worked up in
c. mmon; not, as is often supposed and
sometimes, taught, that made by
1.-The use OF some peculiar appa-
ratus or appliance for which the name
dreamer" or ecreamery" has been ap-
rropriated. The appelation creamery
does not refer to the quality of the pro-
duct at an; nor yet. to. the method Of
! manufacture, which is not in any sense
peculiar to creameries, but rather to
that specific class or variety offactoriee
for making butter or butter and cheese
from milk or from cream brought from
!, several farms or dairies for that purpose
When creamery butter b spoken of in
market reports it means butter made in
the way here described to distinguish it
from butter made in single dairies, which
is designatedYas dairy" butter.

styles for Stout Women.

From the Boston Herald.
A good model for q cashmere or cloth
dress for a stout woman is the kilt dress.
For this, the skirt is cut with a yoke, ex-
tending over the hips and fitting per-
fectly smooth. To this yoke the pleated
skirt is sewed on the edge, and over the
join is laid a flat-pleated scarf, kept in
place by stitches under the folds. The
back drapery Is in straight, loose puffs
and the waist is either Louis XIV. coat,
with long tails at the back, or q skirted
jacket with flaps ON the hips. Another
suitable style is q plain black silk skirt,
trimmed with two founces Of striped
Louisine, tunic and a waist. The
founces are pleated and are about six
inches Deep The redingote tunic is of
two breadths Of Louisine, lined with silk
crinoline to give It body. It opens in
front to show the black silk skirt, and is
trimmed with black Spanish lace
put on full. The waist of Louisine
has long points back and front
