Licenses Voters for and
Against.

Here Is this very significant fact,
which | ask all intelligent, candid peo-
Pile to look at for a moment. In the
recent action of the cities of Massachu-
sets upon the question of license, the
strongest vote in its favor came, with
out single exception, from those To-
calities in which the most ignorance
and moral degradation prevail. while
the strongest vote against it came every
time from the most intelligent, high
minded, virtuous and happy portions
of the community. The returns tell us
that it was emphatically so in this city
(HOlyoke.) 1t was so in Boston. In
those wards where men are sunk lowest
in debauchery and pollution, where
crime bristles in the air, where it is
hardly safe for a man to 90 alone, es-
pecially by night, there the maiorities
for license were immense. But in
those wards where comfort, refinement.
culture, humanity and piety are most
found, there were the heaviest votes
on the other side. 1t was so every
where. The same thing appears, when
looked at in a larger way. Take New
ton. the banner "No License city in
the state, and Holyoke, the banner
License" city in the state, (for to it
belongs, think the Distinction and
contrast the two. If there be anything
in the way of good order, public spirit,
intellectual attainment, elevation OF
character, TO be found in any munich
pality of the Commonwealth, Newton
has the pre-eminence of possessing it.
As to Holyoke, we know what it is in
its moral and social aspects. 1t is at
the other extreme of the scale. But
Newton votes ten to one against license,
Holyoke two 10 one in its favor.

Dead weights.

Last Sabbath, on my way to my ap-
pointment, | saw yoke of oxen COM
ing toward me. They seemed to be
drawing a tremendous load. At the
distance could see no wagon behind
them, nor ANYTHING to Indicate load
of any kind. My curiosity was arous-
ed to know what they were drawing.
As ! came near, | perceived the secret
of the heavy burden. The oxen were
drawing dead horse. No wonder 1t
made the poor beasts labor heavily. 1t
was nothing else but Il dead ICeight.
| thought, how many churches and
ministers of Christ are yOked to dead
peiqhtS. 1t is terrible burden for any
person or society. A dead faith, al
ways inactive, always an hindrance.
All who are yoked to it labor heavily
underneath it.
Dead formality is also weighty. 1t
is terrible load to bear. And how
much of it there is in the churches to-
day. The wheels of the gospel chariot
drag heavily on account of 1t.
A dead dollar is also weighty. 1t
lies inactive, when it might be used In
II thousand ways for the good of others,
and for the enlargement of the borders
of the church of Christ.
o for more life, real life, renewed
conservation of ourselves, our all, to
Christ. There would be fewer burdens
to carry. Hundreds of hearts would
be made lighter, happier, thereby.
THAT million dollars" would be a
mighty stimulant to every field of la
Dor all along the line. The king 5

l.. b. Arnold in n. Y. Tribune.
Mr.. Charles A. Green makes the fol-
lowing statement: 1--WE have had tedi-
GUS work churning in winter, the boy
often occupying the larger part of the
day without effect. Since adopting
the following method we have not had
any trouble, and have never been over
fifteen minutes in churning; to-day, il
very cold day, the butter came i'll five
minutes and was nice and firm. This
recipe is worth the subscription price
of the Tribune for many years: Heat
the milk as soon as strained (but not
to the boiling point, which causes the
cream to rise i'll twelve hours. When
ready to churn, warm the cream to the
proper temperature, then stir with II
spoon, in one direction, 300 times with
out stopping. Churn Immediately, and
the butter will come i'll from five to
fifteen minutes. a small piece of pull
verized saltpetre added to the cream
also helps to bring the butter quickly"
When ut this season of the year the
nutriment supplied to cows is INSULT
cient, either from deficient quantity, or
what is more common, from its being
so ripe and slow to digest that they
cannot utilize enough to support their
bodies and a flow of milk and large
and rapidly growing fntus at the same
time. the latter will absorb the lions
share of the scanty nutriment, and the
cows will grow poor and weak. The
fntus will also absorb so much vitali
ty from the gradually failing milk
glands that their secretions become
imperfect, impairing the milk both in
quality and quantity. Then comes the
tug of war with the churn. Then
comes from Biddy or the boys who
I have worked to exhaustion with butter
no nearer in prospect than at the be-
ginning, the exclamation, "What ails
the cream ~
The difficulty i'll churning can gen.
orally be relieved by more generous
diet, consisting of an extra daily ration
of oat meal, oil meal and roots or some
similar food But if this cannot be
done, the churning can be much i'm
proved by setting the fresh milk over IA
kettle of boiling water and heating it
to about l45 degrees, or till the wrink-
les in the skin which will form on the
surface chase each other over the milk
in the quick succession. Then, with
out cooling, set away for the cream to
rise. 1t will come up quickly and il
churned while fresh without waiting
till it becomes excessively sour and
stale, it will churn easily, whether the
witches are burnt out of it or not, or
whether it is stirred all the time one
way, OF to the right or to the left.

cream longer than desirable to accu-

spoonful of borax and saltpeter in
equal parts, pulverized and dissolved
and well stirred into a gallon of cream,
will very much prolong its keeping and
improve the butter, and help to make
the churning easier. 1t takes longer
to churn the cream from a COW when
farrow than when she is fresh. 1t is
not good practice, therefore, to mix
the mill of farrow COW with that OF
cows recently in milk, if it is to be

have lived in both cities and | know
what a mighty difference there is be-
tween the two places as regards the
vital elements of a high type of civili-
cation, between city where 'No Lii
cense" is the policy of the people and
a city where ''License" has its strong
hold. In this feature of the case a
most important lesson is to be found.
1t reveals beyond all dispute the essen
tial moral quality of the two things,
showing which is most akin to and
consonant with what is purest, truest,
best, in the individual and social life,
and which is most in harmony with
what is most impure, degraded and vile
there. Wise and good people cannot
fail to see the lesson and profit by it

so much longer in churning that most
of it will be left with the butter-milk.
When the churning season is well adj
vanced the difference in churning is
less, and the farrow cows milk can be
mixed with better advantage.

How TO Cook Oysters.

The Rutland Herald publishes let
ter from DR.. Goldsmith of that place
to a lady friend who had asked him
how oysters should be cooked. We
make the following extract from it:
Oysters are strangely and wonder
fully compounded. They are made up
mostly of liver. The central and ten
der part is liver. Most animals that
we know about have glands for manu-
featuring digestive fluid, and make it
when it is needed from time to time for
the purpose of peptonizing the food
eaten. Peptonize is hard word, sig
nifying the change wrought in food be-
fore it is fit for absOrptiOn.) Most folks
keep but little stock of gastric or other
digestive juice by them. The oyster
keeps on hand not only enough to di-
gest his dinner, but he also keeps
enough stored up in his liver, his bet
ter half, to digest himself. Indeed he
comes to us here in tubs or cans al
ready partly peptonized. Heat kills
all digestive juices; therefore, by
cooking, you throw away all the help
you might have from the oyster HIM
self to digest himself.
Again, the meat is more or less easy
of digestion, as it is tender and lacera-
BILE +; and, chewed fine, it is half digest
ed. A cooked oyster is contracted and
tough. Who ever chews a stewed one
1t is always gulped down, if the bolus
is not too big for swallowing. When
you peptonize stewed oyster you di-
gest him on your "muscle." How shall
you have him cooked? Don't cook
them at all, but eat them, with their
diffused digestion all alive and kicking,
from the half shell.
