A young couple called on the Rev

him TO marry them, which he did.
The happy groom then walked re-
luctantly to him and asked:
Doctor, how much is your fee?'
Il have no fixed price, but generally

The bright smile of the Jersey
groom seemed to leave him then, but
bracing himself, he said;

keeping. g.I,utter.

The following method of storing but
ter for keeping in Great Britain, as de-
tailed by I. G. Clancy, contains some
points OF interest to the American read
er: The butter cellar should be cool,
and in piling the butter care must be
taken not to pile it near n window
through which at any part of the day,
q direct ray of the sun can play on the
firkins. If a firkin of butter is placed
IN such position that even for an hour
each day one side of it is SO exposed to
the direct rays of the sun, and that it
remains so for D considerable time. it
will bc seriously injured. DO not pile
the butter against damp wall or in a
very damp spot See that the drainage
of your butter cellar is perfect, and
that no odors come into it rom the
sewers, which should be carefully
trapped. The cellar should be well
ventilated, but without great through
draught, which would tend to dry up
the butter and the firkins, causing the
slaves TO open and admit the air. AL
ways place the firkins standing on end,
with the heads up. If the butter has
to be kept for long time it should oc-
casionally be brined. Make strong
brine of clear water, and the cleancst
and best salt (not sea salD that you
can procure. Let it rest for a day, SO
that the water may take up as much of
the salt as it will hold in solution, stir
ring it now and then. Pour this brine
over the timber heads of the firkins
without opening them, filling up to the
top of the chime, and if it runs very
quickly through, renew it. This has q
double effect. The brine that gets in
to the butter preserves it, and the
moisture running down the seams OF
the firkins swels them and makes them
air-tight. For very long keeping it is
well to bore n large gimlet hole in the
heads TO admit the brine into the but
ter; but you should be provided with
plugs or spigots, which should be ham
mered in tightly after the brine ha
gone down. 1t is not necessary to brine
butter for short keeping. If it be gooC
keeping butter it will do well without
and if it is not, should it be weak, over
handled, milky, or too rich, brinins
will not cure it.

The first | remember of my attack
was riding in u railroad car It
seemed to me that the passengers in
the forward part were getting up anna
teur theatricals. The fact that this did
not surprise me, or appear ut all out of
place, illustrates one curious feature of
insanity, and that is, its close similar
ity in many respects to dreaming. 1t
is well known that the strange phan-
tasmagoria attendant upon most of our
dreams, never strikes us at the time as
at all astonishing, illogical or contra
dictory, because the critical faculty in
sleep is partially and perhaps wholly
dormant. And SO also is it in insanity.
And rs sound or u touch will suggest
or give direction to an ordinary dream,
SO everything that occurs within the
sight or hearing of ar insane man at
fects him in like manner. Also, he has
no more control over his words and
actions, when the insanity is complete,
than n somnambulist. Aud when
patient comes to himself, after having
been insane, he feels rs though he had
been having q long and, sometimes
very pleasant dream. Some of my de-
lusions were of n frghtful character,
and resembled a nightmare more than
anything else; but more often they
were by no means dis agreeable.
OF course it seemed strange to mo
afterward that could nave been car
ried away by such absurdities. At one
time thought that the end of the
world had come, and that the day of
judgment was at hand. This was
somewhat remarkable, because | had
not for years been n believer in the
Scriptural prophecies relating to those
two events. Nor had any faith in the
doctrine that their is a hell of fire; yet,
in imagination, visited that place of
torment, and witnessed the tortures of
the damned-without, however, getting
scorched myself. Some strange con-
ceits, that / had come across in books,
occasionally suggested material for my
mind to work on. | saw men whose
souls believed had been taken from
their bodies, leaving behind the intelli-
gent personal indentity-an idea sug-

France and China.
New York World.

Will there be war between France
and China? The situation is grave,
even critical. The Chinese military
movements have brought about an
actual state of war. Only the most
skillful diplomacy, united with the
most sincere desire for peace on both
sides, could succeed in finding a way
out of the present complication without
C. conflict. But the imminent dangers
of the situation are in themselves less
menacing than the causes which have
brought about the situation.
There is an irreconcilable conflict of
claims between China and France,
which has threatend q conflict of arms
ever since the treaty of 1874. BY that
treaty France binds itself to maintain
a protectorate over Annam which can
be exercised only by overthrowing the
suzeraiuty Of China. On the other
hand, China claims that the treaty is
invalid; that no act of its dependent
power can affect its supremacy; that
the treaty is, in fact, SO much waste
paper.
At this point the affair seems to have
passed beyond the reach OF diplomacy.
China cannot relinquish the protector
ate she has enjoyed for centuries.
France cannot relinquish the protector
ate she has so recently bound herself
to maintain. The old rights and the
new claims are irreconcilable. They
cannot be exercised together, just as
two railroad trains cannot pass on
the same track. A collision is appar-
emily inevitable.
Yet there are strong interests work
ING in favor of peace.
China does not desire war. 1t is as
much rs China can do TO hold to ethel
the feeble and helpless members of it,
overgrown empire in time Of peace
The dynasty of China is still an a'iel
dynasty. The people are ready for ;
change. The Chinese army canno
fight. There are hundred objection
on the part of the Chinese government
to war. The one sufficient objection
is that shock would send the totter
inc throne in downfall to the dust.
France does not wish a war wit
China. There defeat is humiliation
victory no glory. China is far away

Of a little bird l once owned. The

who had nest of young ones about a

of the baby birds wings, pinched it
gently with her beak, and watched it
eagerly, think. to see if it moved.
Then she took hold of one of the feet
and pinched it In the same manner.

flew all around the room, as if in
