SCIENCE AIDING TIE FARMER.

Time was when the "practical' men of
trade turned up their noses at the men of
science as mere visionary theorists, and
asked "what was the use of them fellows with
their hammers, and their drugs, and their
books, that went poking their noses into
everything and doing no good TO noihing?"
Science has made rich returns to these I'M
grateful ones for their stupid differentiation
of their greatest benefactors, and recently
another grand discovery has been added that
promises important results, by which our
own farmers may be greatly benefited. 1t
has for some time been known that boracic
acid was possessed of unusual antisceptic
qualities, but It's powers could not be made
available as it was not soluble in water. The
English Prof. Barff has long been engaged in
experimenting with view to make the val
liable qualities of the acid available Tor
domestic and commercial purposes. His
persistent efforts at length resulted in sue
cess. He found that when heated with
glycerine the two united, forming glyceride
analogous in composition to natural tat.
The substance forms a glacial mass, which
proved to be soluble in water, and has about
it no noxious qualities to interfere with its
use as a rreserver of food. A proof of
this ia given by the fact that milk treated
with it has been used at college near
London, where 300 persons partook of it
habitually during the whole of last summer
without the persons consuming it discovering
anything unusual about it, as it was kept
IL,
position is called boro- glyceride, and is
mixed with fifty times its own weight in
water. The original cost is small, and the
diluted mixture for commerce can be pro-
duced at less than twenty-five cents gallon.
1t preserves as much meat as is sur
vessel, and its application to use is simple,
requiring no trained skill. Extensive trial has
been made to test its efficacy and with entire
success. Fresh turtle, pigeons and oysters
from Jamaica arrived in good condition and
were cooked and eaten. Eggs, Holsters and
fish preserved for three months, and mutton
from the Falkland Islands, were cooked and
eaten and found to have their natural fresh
flavor. Devonshire cream has been sent to
the West Indies and to Zanzibar IN Africa.
The recipients reported it as being good and
sweet. Meats, sausages and other articles,
after three months preservation in open
vessels, in cooking gave perfect satisfaction.
Should experience confirm these facts our
farmers will profit immensely. There will
be no necessity for sending live cattle to
Europe or paying large sums for ice. To
kill the meat, cut it up, and barrel it in the
boro-glyceride will be all that is required.
The prospect thus opened for an immense
trade in American meats, fish, fowls, game,
and other materials for the table promises
gratifying addition to our sources of natl ona1
wealth and private prosperity.

The Jackson Clarion reviews the letter OF

an Independent and earnest opponent OF
Democracy, and Eees nothing in his declara-

justly as an able and useful member of Con

war upon the organization of the Democratic
party, to which he owes his promotion in
political life"

A Good Work.

Some good women in New York are taking
practical plan to save from further degra-
dation the thousands of outcast women in
the great metropolis, who find their way
through crimes and debauch into the police
courts. While many rebuffs may be antici-
pated, much good will certainly ensue. Says
the New York Sun: "The outcome of the
work of police matrons will be looked for
with interest. There is an air of practical
beneyolence about the work of the good
women who are 10 act as missionaries in the
unceasing procession of sad and unfortunate
human beings that pass through the police
courts. The matrons are to try to rescue
from further degradation the women who
pass this path, to care for them in what is
known as the Wayside Home, and to set
their faces toward life of temperance, in
dustry and virtue. The police magistrates
have thrown open the courts in Brooklyn to
this work, and the matrons. who are main
tanned at private expense, are working with
zeal. 1t is certainly a good work to make
life less difficult TO others, and the helping
hand may be most opportunity extended
where friendliness is most needed"

There is reason to fear that General "Abe"
Buford's backbone is not quite as stiff as he
hoped it was. Thoughts of the race-eourse
go trooping through his mind, and the recol-

phantom to allure him. He asked clergy
man the other day if he had not better join
another church, and was somewhat comfort
ed by the assurance that he could be chris

such matters. SIT is an obsolete idea" says
the general, "to suppose that it hurts s. man

God gave them" A Louisville reporter in

clan, formerly of Memphis, Tenn, was enter
ing the postoffice. He accidentally pushed
against the person of DR.. J. NJ. Kellar, also a
physician, who halls from Louisville, KY,
whereupon tile latter demanded an apology,
threatening to stab the other in the face if
the act was repeated. The gentlemen col

which slashes and strikes were promiscuous.
A number Of the gentlemen's friends inter-

further: "We should feel a contempt for

who would even exchange him for anybody.
We do not say he has all the wisdom, but do

erudite jurist, and Of conservative states

Margaret, the Mother of Criminals.

T.. V. Smally describes "a Great
Charity Reform" in the July Century,
which has been due in the conception
and mainly in the execution to the
charitable work of Miss Louisa Lee
Schuyler, of New York City, the lead
ing member of "The State Charities
Aid Association The influence of
heredity in crime is forcibly illustrated
as follows:
At one of the meetings of the Asso-
citation, when the subject of preventing
paupersm by giving a proper training
to the children of paupers was under
consideration, DR.. Elisha Harris re-
lated the terrible story of margaret,
the Mother of Criminals II has
been published in the newspapers, but
can protitably be read again to illus
trate the great Importance of one
branch of the Associations work.
Margaret was pauper child left
adrift in one of the villages on the
upper Hudson, about ninety years ago.
There was no aims house in the place,
and she was made subject of out

and clothing from the town officials,
but was never educated nor sheltered
in a proper home. She became the
mother of long race of criminals and
paupers, which has cursed the county
ever since. The county records show
two hundred of her descendants who
have been criminals. In one genera
ton of her unhappy line there were
twenty children, of whom seventeen
lived to maturity. Nine served terms
aggregating fifty years in the State
Prison for high crimes, and all the
Others were frequent inmates of jails
and aims. houses. 1t is said, that of
six hundred and twenty-three descerl-
dants of this outcast girl, two hundred
committed crimes which brought them
upon the court records, and most of
the others were idiots, drunkards, luna
tics, paupers, or prostitutes. The cost
to the county of this race of criminals
and paupers is estimated as at least
one hundred thousand dollars, taking
no account of the damage they in
flicted upon property and the suffering
and degradation they caused in others
Who can say that all this loss aud
wretchedness might not have been
spared the community if the poor
pauper girl Margaret had been pro-
vided with good moral home-life
while she was growing up to woman.

Love Making and Marriage Among the
Ohootaws Still Living in Mississippi.

The two thousand Choctaws still

sissippi retain in their pristine vigor
many Of the usages of their ancestors.
Among these are the method EN-.
ployed in conducting courtship and
the marriage ceremony. When

until he finds her alone. He then APP
proaches within few yards OF her and
gently casts pebble toward her, so
that it my fall at her feet. He may

before he attracts the maiden's atten
ton. If this pebble throwing is agree
able, she soon makes it manifest; if
otherwise, scornful look and de-
cided "ekwah" indicate that his suit is
in vain.
When q marriage is agreed upon the
lovers appoint time and place for the
ceremony. On the marriage day the
friends and relatives of the prospective
couple meet at their respective houses
or villages and there march toward
each other. When they arrive near
the marriage ground-generally inter
mediate space between the two vii
lages--they halt within about hun
dred yards of each other. The
brothers of the woman then go across
to the opposite party and bring for

Stopped His Paper.

Now a-days when subscriber gets
so mad because an editor differs with
him on some trivial question that he
discontinues his paper, we remind him
of a good anecodote of the late Horace
Greeley, the well known editor of the
New York Tribune. Passing down
Newspaper Row in New York city
one morning, he met one of his readers,
who exclaimed:
"Mr. Greeley, after the article you
published this morning, / intend to stop
your paper.
"Oh no, said Mr. Greeley, don't do
that,
"Yes, sir, my mind is made up. l
shall stop the paper"
The angry subscriber was not to be
appeased, and they separated. Late
in the afternoon the two met again,
when Mr. Greeley remarked
"Mr. Thomas | am very glad you
did not carry out your threat this
morning"
"What do you meant
"Why you said you were going to
stop my paper.
"And so l did. / went to the of
