While in each clear and joyful tone,
An earnest voice doth say:

But work, and win the day .'

Stood to their trusty guns;
And in that lesson learn that we

O yes, we've "heard the news from Maine
And hail the harbinger,

And when rolls round November's rout,
And toe and allies flee,

Washed and Unwashed Butter

The difference between washed
and unwashed butter is analogous to
the difference between clarified and
unclarified sugar. The former con-
sists of pure saccharine matter, while
the latter, though less sweet, has a
flavor in addition to that Of the pure
sugar. When unwashed there is
always little buttermilk adhering
to the butter that gives it a peculiar
flavor in addition to that of pure
butter, which many people like
when it is new. Washing removes
all this foreign matter, and leaves
only the taste of the butter pure and
simple. Those who prefer the taste
of the butter To- that of the former
ingredients mixed with it like the
washed butter best. The flavor OF
butter consists of fatty matters.
which do not combine with water at
all, and therefore cannot be washed
away by it. The effect of washing
upon the keeping qualities Of butter
depends upon the purity of the wa
ter used. If the water contains no
foreign matter that will affect the
butter, it keeps the better for having
the buttermilk washed out instead
of worked out. Evidently the grain
of the butter will be more perfectly
preserved if the buttermilk be re-
moved by careful washing. The
grain is such an important factor in
the make up of fine butter that it is
necessary we should be very partic-
ular not to injure it in any way if We
would excel in the art of butter ma

An Italian Breaki;a

At 9 o'clock comes breakfast
and such a breakfast 1t is served
table de hotel style. The bill of
fare this morning was as follows,
plates being changed of course, for
every article of food:
/. Macaroni, with cheese, in long,
snake like pieces. The Italians ate
it, lifting up a spoonful, catching
it with their lips. and chewing it as
they sucked it into their mouths,
the ends hanging down to their cbins
at the start. Eeach officer took sew
eral spoonfuls, and the whole look
ed like pile of white fish worms
on his plate.
3. A bologna sausage-like mix
ture cut into slices, and served with
radishes. The Italians dipped the
latter into a mixture of sweet oil
and vinegar before eating them.
3. The next course was boiled
beef and salad. | don't know how
the beef was cooked, but it was
greasy. The salad was eaten swim
ming in oil.
4. Next, caulifiower, much larger
and better than American produce.
served in cream.
5. Chicken, roasted and saturated
with grease.
6. Jerusalem artichokes, eaten
raw in oil and vinegar.
The desert, consisting of dough-
nuts fried in grease, cheese, then ap-
pies, oranges, figs and raisins.
Besides these, and in place of cof-
fee, each plate had IA bottle of wine
beside it. and all drank literally.
A fine breakfast, indeed, and our
dinner will be much like unto it.
The only difference will be coffee at
the end and an extra plate. Din
ner comes at five O'Clock, and these
two meals make up the days ra-
tions. The biscuit and tea at nine
O'Clock can hardly be called a meal.

Discipline in the School Room.

There is danger that the reaction
from the severe measures taken by
the ''old masters to secure discip-
line in the school-room may go too
far. 1t is becoming a canon of ped
agogical doctrine that teachers
should be always sweet and mild,
that the sky of the school-room
should be always sunny, and the
atmosphere balmy and mild. 1t is
possible to be too utterly utter in
this line of policy. Beyond a GER
tain point it is a weakness in a
teacher to be patient. As the
harsher modes of correcting chill
dren are, one by one, being taken
out Of his hands by the refining
spirit of civilization, not to men
ton the increasing prankishness of
public opinion, the lengths to
which the teacher can afford to let
the unruliness of children carry
them, grows less and less.
The teachers duty and best pol
icy now is to prevent the begin
nings of misconduct. To this end
it is not out of place at times to
vary the monotony of balm and
sunshine with little storm and
laundering. There can be no great
objects accomplished without ear
nestness and zeal; and as school
boy nature is found at present, it is
very strange ifholy zeal and earnest
effort in behalf of the good children
in his charge do not occasionally
develop into righteous anger on
the part of the teacher over the
misdeeds or shortcomings of his pu-
pills,
A teacher uniformly mild, gentle
and lovely, is likely to be either
an incompetent or humbug---one
who is satisfied with smoothness OF
surface but who cares little to stir
children up from the depths. The
best and kindest teachers are those
who, when the proper occasion of.
fers, are able to give good blast OF
scolding. But the storm should
not be the prevailing meteorologi
cal feature of the school-room il
should bear the same proportion te
the fair weather that it does in the
climate of genial zones---like that
of France or Italy, not the extremes
of the West Indies, the billiards. OF
Manitoba, or the frigid and imper.
turbable dignity of Spitzbergen.-

Instinct of Children.

Children are quick-witted They
seem to know by instinct, almost
as soon as new teacher enters the
school-room, whether she Owe use
the feminine pronoun, as we expect
what we say will interest the teach
ers of young scholars mainly, or
the pupils themselves are going to
run things" if we may be permit
ted to use the school-boy vernacu-
lar. A young teacher may not be
sure of herself, and of what she can
accomplish, but she need not show
it. An assumption of dignity,
pleasant, confident exterior is not
impossible. When Hamlet says,
''There is nothing either good or
bad, but thinking makes it So" he
utters truth. Ifpupils can be made
to think teacher master of the
situation, success is almost certain,
for "the race is not to the swift, nor
the battle to the strong; but time
and chance happeneth to them ALL"
A teachers's "time" and "chance"
is at the outset; SO be careful that
defeat is not confessed beforehand.

Two Sound Tricks.

Take a silk thread about four or
five feet long, and tie it round the
handle of a spoon, leaving equal
lengths of thread on either side.
Then, taking a thread in each
hand, thrust the ends into your
ears, and by swinging the spoon
against some hard body, or getting
some one to strike it, a sound will
be produced like that of loudest
thunder.
The second trick is of both sound
and light, and is very beautiful.
Prepare some soap-suds; and here
let me tell you how you can make
splendid soap-bubbles, which will
last for hours. Dissolve one part of
soap in forty parts of water; put
this solution into a bottle, and add
two-thirds the quantity of glycer-
inc, and shake vigorously. Allow
the bottle to stand some time, when
the liquid will have separated into
two layers. The upper is to be
pouree off, and the lower kept for
bubbles.
Dip brass curtain-ring into the
solution, SO as to get film over it;
and when the colors begin to appear
on the edge of the film, if you hold
up the ring before your face, and
sing any of the vowels, or all of
them, one after the other, near it,
will show beautiful ripping pat
terms of color, which differ with the
different sounds.

ScOldlng.

With some, scolding is chronic.
Life is one long fret. The flesh is
feverish, the nerves unstrung, the
spirit purturbed and in a state of
unrest. The physical condition
and the material surroundings may
have a strond tendency to disturb
our equanimity and to exasperate
our feelings; but we are apt to bear
in mind that the scolding never
did anybody any good, and withal
grows to be very uncomfortable to
the party who INDUCES in it. In
appropriate to anybody, scolding
appears most hatefulin parents and
ministers. Set to be dispensers of
kindness and love to those with
with whom they are more especial
ly associated, it is horrible to see
gall distilled instead of charity
that blesses both parties. Scold-
ing turns a household into a pande-
monium, and a church into an in
QUESTION. Bear in mind that kind
ness and gentle speech are great
deal easier to practice than their OPP
posites. Why practice the worse
thing when harder? Arrest your
self in the indulgence of this bad
habit, right here. Begin now, and
put yourself under bonds to be good
natured.-Mon's Herald.

Grave of Henry Clay's Daughter.

But few people, perhaps, are
aware that Il daughter of Henry
Clay lies buried in the old Baptist
graveyard in the western part of
Lebanon, Ohio. The tomb or sep
ulcher is in the northern part of
the graveyard in the shadow of the
old Baptist church, and near syc-
amore tree, whose wide-spreading
branches reach out and droop over
it. Near by is the grave of Joshua
Collett, one of the first lawyers of
Lebanon, and afterward Supreme
Judge of the State. Henry Clay
was Secretary of State in the Cabi-
net of John Quincy Adams, and was
on his way from his home to Wash
ington when his daughter took
sick here and died. The inscrip-
ton on the large fiat stone that
forms the lid or top part of the
stone vault or tomb is almost illegi-
bic from exposure. 1t reads as fol-
lows: "To the memory of Eliza H.
Clay, daughter of Henry and Lucre-
tia Clay, who died on the 18th of
August, 1925, aged twelve years,
during a journey from their resi-
dence at Lexington, Kentucky, to
Washington City. Cut off in the

ents, who have erected this monu-
ment, console themselves with the

Character-CompOsure.

Composure is very otter the high
est result of strength. Did we new
er see man receive fragrant in
suit, and only grow a little pale, and
then reply quietly? That was a
man spiritually strong. Or did we
never see a man in anguish stand,
as if carved out of solid rock, mas
tering himself? Or one bearing a
hopeless daily trial remain silent,
and never tell the world what it
was that cankered his hone-peace {?
That is strength. He who with
strong passions remains chaste; he
who, keenly sensitive, with manly
power of Indignation in him, can
be provoked and yet refrain him
self, and forgive; these are strong
men, spiritual heroes.-RobertsOm's
