since these laws were passed there has
sprung up large business IN what i'
called "butteriue," which usually con-
sists of little good creamery butter
and an admixture of oleomargarins oil
and neutral lard. The latter is simply
lard with all taste removed, which in
cresses its cost only about q cent a
pound but the butterine thus made Is
hardly distinguishable by the best
judges from 6ue creamery butter, un.
de: which designation great deal OF
it is now coming to market. The win
ter is the best season for pslming of
this adulteration, as it does not keep
as hard as genuine butter in the warm
weather.
A level headed editor Of an exchange
thus expresses himself: "Wbat shall
we do with mother! You can't bury
her alive. Public prejudice would be
against you. 1t is a problem come to
think of it. A worn out, superanuated
mother; a useless, toiiing, complain
ing, a weary, querulous, rottering, old
fashioned mother! Hum We know
what we should do with her were she
ours. She should have the best room
IN tie house. If there were only one
room she should have that-tbe softest
bed. the easiest chair. She should
have respect, tenderness, patience, that
would in some FAINT measure TO try TO
repay her boundless devotion to . cry
ing, red-nosed, ill tempered brat of
years ago-s devotion that labored
through all the wayward years of a dis
agreeable youth. Every furrow of her
dear old face should be sacred to mem
ory. Every cracked and wheezy tone
of her dear old voice should have the
ring Of music IN it, and if ever our
ugly, carnal nature got the upper band
of US, we would look into 1er faded
ewes and think how short the time, ev
en- at its very longest, when We could
no more ask her forgiveness, or hear it
from lips that would then be silent for
ever. You may be old yourself some
day, nobody will want to have you
round. OF all the pensioners in the
world, mother deserves the highes, pre-
MUM.
