The other night gas-pipe belong
ing to the Standard Oil Company burst
at Saddle River, near Passaic, N. j.,
and before the leak was discovered
over one thousand barrels of oil had
been wasted. Dams were Immediately
constructed about the leak to prevent
further waste of the oil, and in this
way large quantity was saved. The
oil found its way into the springs and
wells in the vicinity, and rendered the
water unfit for use. The Passaic River
from Passaic City to Belleville was also
covered with the fluid.

Friday find food for their superstition in
the fate of a young man of Syracuse
who being married on the morning of

deemed it unwise to let his bride see
him. Accordingly he was taken to a
hotel and there, within a few hours, he
died of heart-disease brought on by the

THESE UNITED STATES.
AFTER TENNYSON.

You ask me why, though ill at ease
Within this region subsist,
Where honor's dead, and law is
Missed,
And all men pillage as they please.
1t is the land where freemen kill
In warm debate their party foes;
The land where Judges come to blows
And speak the things that make us i'll
"A land of base expedient;
A land where gold can justice drown ;
Where Freedoms chains are handed
From President to President
Where factions wrangle tor the bread
OF honest men; where, fearing
naught,
Accurst monopolies have caught
The people in the nets they spread;
Where branded convicts execute
The laws that in Il better time
They broke, and every kind of crime
Stalks unsllamed and resolute.
Should honor e'er possess the land,
And patriots control the State,
And Justice rise, divine with hate,
10 choke the political band.
0 watt me from the harbor forth.
Wild winds. I'll seek Alaska's sky.
Here twill have grown too warm,
will run for office in the North.

The blue jay is the boldest and
most miscl,ievous of wild birds. Near
Knoxville, Tenn, recently, one was
seen to flo a number of times to high
picket fence, to attract pair of kit
tens playing on the lawn. The kitters
finally mounted the fence, and began
a cautious approach from picket to
picket. The jay let the first get to
within eighteen inches, then HOY ped
over between the two. The second
kitten approached; tho bird hoped
over it. 1t turned, and the jay hopp-
edihack and between. The first kit
ten approached, and. the jay hnpped
back over it, and so kept it up till Que
kitten got dis"nsted and left, aud tho
other follow,d soon after.

In an exteneed conversation which
followed the two Fords discussed the
circumstances of various robberies
and murders committed by the James
gang. They say Frank James was a
bad man in fight, and that he was a
great deal more cunning than Jesse.
He cared nothing for his men, and af-

Associated Dairying.

The Nea0 England Farmer says of the
eamery system, SO rapidly growing in
popular favor, that creamery butter has
won its reputation because of its good
quality. and of its uniformity. There is
no such uniformity, even in the best half
dozen dairies that can be selected any
where, as is found in the best creamery
butter. The creamery butter is made
and handled by one person, and that
person the most expert that is to be found
In the whole region. Butter arriving at
the Boston market is examined and tested
by an inspector, whose services are really
paid for by the producers. A carload
from different farms and dairies will per-
haps require his services for an entire
day, while q carload of Western cream
ery butter viii be passed over after an
inspection lasting but ten minutes To
know the ssbrand' of the Western cream
cry is usually all that is wanted by the
inspectors. Hotels now prefer the cream
cry butter because of its uniformity.
They can set hundred different plates
upon their tables in a single day, or can.
set their tables hundred days in success
sion, and serve their customers exactly
alike at every table and on every day.
The creamery system has evidently come
to stay, and if we find that we are
behind the West then must we not adopt
the same methods they have adopted in
order to compete with them, or even to
hold our own? We are working at q
disadvantage when we manufacture
thousand pounds of butter in ten or a
hundred places instead of one place. In
one Massachusetts town where the asso-
ciated system has been adopted, it was
found that the whole product of the town
is now equal to the best that was made by.
the old system. The cost of selling has
also been reduced, rs it is found that it
is much easier to sell 5000 pounds of
frst-class creamery butter of known
uniformity than one hundred pounds of
farm dairy butter at the highest price
paid for each.
The system admits of purely co-opera-
tive action, or the business may be owned
by single individual, who viii purchase
the cream of the farmers. 1t it usually
found best to start with company, and
hire a butter maker, till the value of the
cream can be determined, and then sell
to an individual. The cost of the cream
viii depend upon the distance it is
brought, the quality of the roads, and
the number of cows keptin given area.
A single team in some localities can col
lect all the cream of 800 cows So far as
the experiment has been tried. it is found
that farmers have obtained about as
much for their cream as they formerly
received for their butter, after all the
additional labor of making, packing and
selling had been performed in the home
dairy.

How to Get Rid OF q Non-Paying
BOarder.


The London papers abound in curious
information about New York. We
learn from the Daily Nelcs that "Miss
Wanda Brown, residing at a fashion
able boarding-house in Thirty-ninth
street, New York City, recently gave
her landlady, Mrs. Beeble, in charge for
assault and battery. Being requested
by the sitting magistrate to state the
particulars of the assault, she deposed
that upon three several occasions Mrs
Beeble had put huge bullfrog in her
bed. is that SOP inquired his Honor

NIT the frogs replied Mrs. Beeble;
but what is one who is poor, though
honest, to do with boarder who will
neither pay nor quit? This is how it
was: had lost enough money by her.
and wasn't going to-waste any more on
getting her out of my house by the
strong arm of the law. But my hus-
band supplied cold-blooded animals TO
the medical students for their expert
ments. and so it struck me one day,
looking over his stock, that likely way
to persuade Miss Brown to pay up, or,
better still, TO get rid of her, would be
to administer O frog or two in her bed.
Did your expedient succeedp asked
the magistrate, with a smile. You
