 "You'n keep her mother, of course ?" "I suppose so" said Mrs. Torrance "I don't suppose she's got anywhere else to go."
 There was 10 more delicious dozing for Emily now. She rose hurriedly, dressed herself and came down stairs. "Aunt Dorcas," she said, as she en- countered that lady frying ham and eggs over the kitchen fire, "what is there in this neighborhood for woman to do?"

with butter-makers that in the hot
weather the butter comes soft and
sticky. But how many of them think
of having the cream at proper tenn
perature when put into the churn &?
After churning for an hour or more it
is found that the "butter is coming
SOFT" then cold water is added without
avail, and the churn, the weather and
the cows are all blamed for the mis-
chief. Instead of this, if the cream is
tested and brought to a temperature of
GO Fair. by adding cold or warm
water, as may be demanded, before il
is put in the churn, there will be nc
trouble about soft butter. From GO to
650 is the temperature at which the
best butter is made.

WHITE sPECKS IN BUTTER.


Another evil in butter-making, and
a thing which many good housewives
have tried to avert in vain, is the pres
encc of white specks in butter, or what
is known to some as "false butter"
"What is the cause of these white
specks?" 1 asked an experienced but
ter-maker recently
"They come from the sour milk
which finds its way into the churn
with the cream" was the reply.
"Can they not be washed out with
water ?' was asked.
"NOt entirely, though that method
has been often tried. The proper way
is not to allow them to get in"
"But how can the specks be kept out
of the butter?"
"Simply by stirring the cream every
day after it is skinned, and before it is
put into the churn. This was learned
accidentally by stirring the cream fOl
another purpose, and since then have
made d practice of doing so in order tC
keep out the spccks, and have nC
farther trouble with them"
Herein may be found IL remedy for &
very common evil in buttcr-making
and l would advise any who have beel
perplexcd with "spccbs" in butter t
give it trial. 1t certainly has tn
merit of simplicity.

RISE, HE CALLETH THEE" {"

He calleth thee in childhood,
When life is young and free,
When youth and beauty dawns
On hearts of purity.
"Such is the heavenly kingdom"
The blessed Jesus said;
Oh, hasten then to enter
While youth yet crowns the head
He calleth thee in childhood,
Ere sins dark shadows fall
On life's meandering pathway,
The buoyant heart to enthrall.
Seek first my righteous kingdom,
As shall be added thee
Life, peace, and wealth and honor,
And joys eternally.
And when the head is silvering,
From wintry frosts of time.
And steps grow feeble tottering,
His tender call is thine.
Leave earth's decaying treasures
For those of heaven true.
And seize the crown that's offered
Through Jesus love for you.
Christ calleth-now is calling
To Adams sinful race,
That all fair heaven may enter
Through his unfailing grace.
Ills mercy falleth ever,
From infamy to age;
Redeeming grace is prolIered
Our sinful hearts to engage.

TOads are 50 highly valued in Europe
as destrOyers of insects, especially of
those which commit their depredations
at night, that they are an article of

near London import toads from the

A quick and effectual method to
destroy plantian and other weed pests
on lawns is to cut the plant off at the
crown, and drop on the top of the root
two or three drops of kerosene. The
lawn will not be defaced by digging.
and the work is at once and completely
done.
Pigs that are shut in pens during
the Summer should have some green
food. Weeds of any kind are good, but
pig weed is best, and sweet-corn cut up
with the green ears is best of all. The
sweet in the cOrnstalks is very fatten-
ing, and better for growing pigs in
Summer than corn, grain or meal.
OF orchard grass the late Mr.. John
Stanton Gould says in his treatise on
grasses: "The testimony that has been
= collected from all parts of the world
for two centuries past establishes the
place of this species among the very
best of our forage grasses, and the in
terests of our graziers and dairymer
would be greatly promoted by its
more extended cultivation.

ST.. PETERSBURG, Feb. 25.-During Thurs
days proceedings at the trial of the nihilists,
several prisoners made very full statements
and in consequence Of their admissions many
witnesses were excused from further attend
arce. 1t appears Trigoni had only very
slight connection with the proceedings of the
nihilists, being merely aware of their designs.
Suchanow, during his examination drew such
a vivid picture of the abnormal social condi-
tons that had driven him, who had been an
honorable sensitive man, to career of crime,
that even the judges were deeply affected.
Tackimova acknowledged the truth of the
charges brought against her. Tenecka, who
is uneducated, admitted being terrorized, but
was unable to define the aim OF that party
erculoff continued his endeavors to crimi-
nate his associates. All the accused declared
they were socialists, willing to carry on
peaceful propaganda, but they had been driven
to illegal acts by the governments cruelties.
1t is believed the judgment will be delivered
Monday and fifteen of the prisoners condemn
ed to Death.

MORMON MEMORIAL.

A Deuiai of the Charges Made Against
Them, and Plea to be Let Alone.
SALT LAKE, Utah, Feb. 25.-The legislature
to-day adopted memorial to congress. The
opening paragraph is as follows:
We, your memorialists, the legislative
assembly of the territory of Utah, respectively
represent that in consequence OF baseless
rumors and monstsous exaggerations, the
people whom we represent have been placed in
jeopardy and are now threatened with depriva-
ton of the right of local self government, and
persons whose aim is to gain control of this
now wealthy and prosperous territory, and
manipulate its finances, have succeeded in
arousing the Ire OF the clergy, and, through
them, the anger of many people against large
majority of the citizens Of Utah, and thus a
pressure has been brought to bear
upon your honorable body, which shows it's
effects in proposed measures containing
provisions utterly at variance with the funda-
mental principles of republican government
and which, while ostensiply aimed at the
marriage relations of but a small portion of
the people, will, if carried into execu-
ton, deprive the whole territory of
the vested rights secured to it by
the organization and constitution of
the United States. The memorial then denies
at great length everything charged against
the MormOns and accuses the representatives
of the federal government in Utah of every
species of wrong doing possible to officers or
men.

LONDON, Feb. 22.-In the house Of lords
last evening, Salisbury stated the objects of
the committee appointed to inquire into the
working of the land act. had been misrepre-
sented. He said it would neither try the land
commissioners nor seek to repeal the land act,
Any change must be in the direction of land
lords rather than diminishing anything which
the tenants may have acquired by the act.
The Daily Meas points to the significance
of certain remarks of the margins of Lon
downe, who is no votary of the land act. He
pointed out that the committee
was formed mainly of landlords
was not likely to be a very impartial tribunal
toinvestigate the workings of an act devised
in the interest of tenants.
The Times says the lords committee can
not possibly arrive at any useful conclusion.
1t is already discredited by the. fact that it
does not represent the lords, but only section
of it.
