asked.

Every one knows how difficult it is to
induce a patient to take cod liver oil,
and how the taste is anhorred by most

form a globule that is easily swallowed.
Take a swallow of cold water; then drink
rapidly from the glass, keep the mouth
closed tightly for u minute, and when
you open it you will be surprised that
no unplea ant taste is left in the mouth.

agent, ''is, although very beautiful, quiet

all varieties of household furniture, und
by no means confines his attention to
textile fabrics. This advice indicates.
therefore, an intention to repress that
o%vercrowding to which Americans are
particularly prone.

MILDEwED CREAM.-Butter is one of
the most complicated products; its quality
depends upon great variety of conditions
the cow, the food, the air of the stable,
the water, the milk-pails, pans, and the
place where the milk is set, besides many
other things. When cream becomes COW
cred with sort of pimples all over the
surface, with here and there yellowish or
reddish dots or spots upon it, it is attacked
by species of mildew or fungus, which
very soon spreads all through it. This
spoils the flavor of the butter. From some
troublesome and careful experiments the
the past Winter the writer is convinced that
this is caused by too much dampness in the
milkroom-cellar and the presence of germs
of mildew. The first was corrected by put
ting some fresh lime in the milkroom,
which absorbed the excess of moisture, and
by burning sulphur in it to disinfect it and
destroy the mildew germs By burning
sulphur, sulphuric acid is produced, and
this is very active antiseptic and destruc-
tive of all kinds of molds, mildews, and fer
ments. 1t would also be well to look close
ly to the water drunk by the cow.-E1-

ABOUT BUTTER AND MLK.-There are
many different methods of packing away
butter in Summer for Winter use, but much
depends upon the quality of the butter
when made, also upon the place in which it
is stored. If the butter is we'll made, and
the buttermilk all removed from it, and
then stored in a cool place, almost any of
the simple methods of packing will answer
Packing in jars or clean, sweet tubs, and
then covering with clear brine is usually
sufficient. When only small quantity is
to be preserved the following plan is an ex.
cellent one: Work over, salt to taste, and
wrap each pound or two-pound roll in cloth
and put in jars, and cover with cold clari-
fled brine, and set in a cool place. The
milk should be cooled as rapidly as conve-
nient and as soon as drawn from the COW,
and then set in room where the tempera-
ture will be between so and 60 degrees, or
lower in Summer if possible. This will an
swer well for milk and cream, but in win
ter it should not go much below 55 degrees.

The good old county of Botetourt can
boast Gf she is not ashamed to make her
boast), one of the most extraordinary
judges-Jeffreys, of the assizes, alone ex-
cepted-that ever sat upon, we will not say
adorned, the bench. He seems to be a
strange combination of fanatic, malignant,
and fool, to use plain old Saxon; and the
wonder is how the good people of that
county can endure the outrages he has
committed on the bench. He would be a
laughing stock for the people of the State,
if it were not that his idiosyncracies are of
such a character as to prompt him to tram.
pie upon the liberties of the people. Under
such men as Mays, the Judiciary is not the
bulwark that old George Mason, in the Bill
of Rights, intended it should be to the
people of Virginia, but an engine of op-
preston. Verify! the corruption, tyranny,
ignorance and venality, that Mahoneism has
managed to force into the Judiciary of this
State, should stimulate the people to select
a Legislature that will dispose, by impeach-
ment, of all such fellows as Mays, of the
Botetourt County Court. .-Lynch6lwg TiT-

Where those who loved me long ago
Forgot the world and fell asleep.

Or mausoleum's empty pride,

Their virtues, or the time they died,

Oergrown with moss and lichen gray,
Where tangled brier and creeping vine
Across the crumbling tablets stray.

The birds still sing the sweet old strain:
But something from the summer time
Is gone, that will not come again.
SO many voices have been hushed-
So many songs have ceased for aye
So many hands 1 used to touch,
Are folded over hearts of clay.
The messy world recedes from me

The mossy marbles echo back
No hollow sound of empty fame.

Tom THUMBS WIDOW FAINTs AT Hrs
GRAvE.-A dispatch from Bridgeport, Ct,
describing the funeral of Tom Thumb says:
''Mrs. Stratton was lifted from the carriage
when it reached the grave at A o'clock.
She was too weak to stand, and a cushion
was brought from the carriage and laid on
the ground at the edge of the grave. The
little widow sat upon it, supported by her
mother and mother-in-law. The other rel
atives gathered near by. The ceremonies
lasted more than half an hour Mrs. STRAIT
ton became more and more agitated as they
proceeded, and just as Prelate Dutton
dropped the floral Masonic emblem into
the grave, and the Knights crossed their
swords and began to chant the closing
hymn, her little figure shook for a moment
with strong emotion, and she fell back
senseless into the arms of her mother.
There were cries of pity from the crowd
that looked on, and hundreds of women
watched with anxiety the efforts to revive
the little woman. Mr.. Southworth finally
lifted her in his arms and carried her to the
carriage She revived as the carriage was
rolling homeward.''
