TOLEDO, Ohio, Aug. "a, 1885,
On the 22nd. was at the Methodist Camp
Meeting establishment at Lakeside" direct
ly on the shore of Lake Erie. 1t is only
five or six years old, but is already large
village of beautiful cottages, regularly
aligned on many streets running at right
angles with each other, with two large "Tab-
ernacles," handsome and good, each afford
ing comfortable seats for two Thousand peo-
pie, and with large, weli-built and we'll
kept hotel, all under the exclusive control of
the Camp Meeting association. By this
system of government the rowdy element Is
excluded, so that quiet and harmony are
never disturbed.
The establishment is placed in an oak
grove, so that abundant shade of the best
kind. was nearly at hand. The streets are
bordered with these, and every cottage, as
well as the grand hotel is adorned and shad-
ed by them. There is also cheap and cap
ital system of water works, by which the
hotel and every cottage is abundantly sup
Piled A pretty windmill is placed upon the
shore, by which lake water is driven to a
reservoir situated upon rising ground near
the village, from which it is distributed
throughout the settlement by common gas
or water pipes laid upon the surface Of the
ground. The mains are two inch pipes,
with branches and service pipes of smaller
size. When the season Is over the water Is
drawn from the pipes, so that they cannot
be harmed by frost.
During the season the village is well
served by shops supplying the necessaries,
comforts and elegances Of life abundantly,
among them being one with large stock of
the best books in our language, all under
the supervision and control Of the assoca-
ton.
The "Tabernacles" are built in the best
manner, each with lofty roof, open at the
sides, and furnished with canvass curtains

A holy wal is raging in the town Of Lak

holy war is raging in the town of Lake
vile, Connecticut, between the Catholic and
Protestant populations, the cdsus belk be-
ing an image of Christ which the Catholic
priest saw fit to place in the walk leading to
the Catholic church aud which he refused to
remove, though requested to d. so by seven
ty-five citizens who regarded the display Of
the image as sacrilege. The chief weapon
Of both the belligerents is "boycotting,' the
Catholics refusing to trade at the stores of
the merchants who signed the address and
the later retaliasng by turning Catholics
out of the employ of industries which they
control, and by savagely assaultingsthe per-
sonal character of the priest who refused
their request. The depth and purity of the
religious sentiment of Lakeville, both Cath
Ollie and otestant, as displayed in this war,
is calculated to make deep and lasting i'm

ANCE UNION of the State of New York.
which recently held its annual conven-
ton in Poughkeepsie, resolved to petit
ton the next Legislature to require in
every school supported by public
money instruction in physiology and
hygiene, with special reference to the
effects of alcoholic stimulants and mar
cotics upon the human system. This is
part of so-called national plan which
the Union will make the special feature
OF its work during the coming year,
and in accordance with which the pas
sage of similar law has already been
secured in Y ermont, Michigan and New
Hampshire.
FROM EVERY SOURCE comes the most
alarming reports of crimes, casualties
and death. All who read must appre
ciate the following remarks of L'EUen-
ment, of Quebec, Canada, as applicable
to Quebec: The number of accidental
deaths in Quebec within the past six
months has been fearful. Drunkenness
has played large part in this sad har-
vest. We are really afraid to maintain
a guilty silence in not stigmatizing in
striking manner each death caused by
drink. Family chagrin and the grief of
friends arrest our pen. We are wrong,
perhaps, to have so often coded to these
considerations, for the scourge of in
temperance augments in alarming pro-
portions. There must certainly be a
remedy to the evil. Christian preach
ing evidently no longer sullices, and tho
secular arm must be placed at the SER
vice of religion and of morality. 1t
can not be denied that our country is
overrun with drunkenness. -

Rancid butter is an exceedingly I'M
desirable article for, generally speak
ing, when once butter has lost its sweet,
milky flavor and attained o rank, I'M
pleasant taste and odor there is little
hope for it. 1t is q much easier matter
to keep the butter sweet than to restore
it after it has become rancid. There
are several methods bv which it is
claimed that rancid butter may be pu-
rilied, but this does not mean that any
process will ever make rancid butter a
really good article again; it only means
that it can be brought back to suffi-
GENTLY improved state to admit of its
being consumed where economy forbids
throwing it into the soap-grease jar.
Perhaps one of the best methods is
one that Prof. Willard Endorsed and
number of practical butter-workers fol-
low. Melt the rancid butter in twice
its weight of boiling water and shake it
well occasionally when in the water.
By this process the acids producing the
rancidity are dissolved and partly vola-
tilted; the oil rises to the surface,
leaving the impurities in the, water.
The butter, of course. loses its consist
ence by this operation, but that may be
restored to it to a great extent by pour
ing it, when melted, into large guam
tity of ice water.
ga second process consists in melt
ing the butter in clean vessel under a
slow and regular heat, and while it is
melting add two ounces of pulverized
alum to every five pounds of butter, the
butter being stirred gently while melt
ing. When thoroughly melted it is
strained through fine strainer into
clear, cold water. The butter will rise
to the surface, more or less pure and
transparent. The alum coagulates the
albumen, the caseine and other foreign
matter, all of which are retained in the
strainer. When the butteris sufficient
ly cool to be in good working order, it
is taken out and is thoroughly worked,
adding to each five pounds of butter
three ounces of good dairy salt and one
ounce of pulverized white sugar
Another mode of treating rancid but
ter is as follows: First agitate the but
ter in hot water to extract the salt.
After standing awhile it soon separates
from the water, when it must be again
agltated with an equal volume of fresh
hot water and few ounces of fresh
animal charcoal to the pound of butter.
The charcoal must be in coarse powder
and free from dirt. 1t is freed from
charcoal by straining through a fine
cloth while still hot and from the water
by the differences in specific gravity.
The butter when cold is well worked
with fresh milk, to which little sui
phate of lime has been added, and then
reworked and salted.-N. Y World.

How to Fertilize Fruit Trees.

Here and there on all farms and in
most fruit gardens will be seen an oc-
cashional tree or grapevine which
seems to lack vigOr-does not grow
well, and yet seems to have no particu-
lar disease. The probabilities are that
the tree is dying of starvation and needs
liberal supply of food. When you
give it this ration, do not pile load of
manure around the trunk of the tree or
the body of a grapevine. That is Just
the place where it will do the least
good. Nearest the trunk of the tree,
the roots are all large. The tibrous
roots-the feeders, are further off near
the ends of the roots. These only can
take up the nutriment 1t is always
safe to assume that the roots extend as
far from the trunk in every direction as
do the limbs of the tree, and to properly
fertilize, spread the manure all over
that area. Then fork it in and you
have done q good work and done it
well. If some disease has begun its
work on the tree, you will put the tree
In healthy, vigorous condition, the
better enabling it to successfully con-
tend against its enemies. We have

but which such treatment as we have
outlined above would restore to their
original usefulness. - orange CouRty
