Of the County Institute, aud i'll order to

preseuee of directors from distance

Within the last lew years, by securing
good lecturers aud instructors, aud 10y
creating general public interest in the
proceedings, with the ali Of actiye teach.

large attendance on the part Of the peo.

sessions and evening lectures are well
attended aud the insiitute has grown in
favor with the public at large.

1IARRIsBURo, PA,
SIR: To specify all the characteristics
b, which educational work in a county
as whole ought to be Judged, would
perhaps be somewhat difficult, yot we are
glad to be able to state, in making this
report Of the schools of Carbon for the
last two years, that there are evidences
of coinmendable progress, in various di-
rections, in the work Of bur schools
HOUSES.
New school houses have been built
during the last two years in the follow
ing districts: Packer, Weatherly, Mauch
Chunk Township, Franklin and Lower
Towamensing. These are all substantial
buildings, well lighted and ventilated,
and supplied with good furniture. The
architectural beauty of several Of them,
especially of the one at Weatherly, re-
fleets much credit on the taste and in
tellgence Of the directors.
There are, however, still several dis
tricts in which there are school houses
entirely unfit for use, some Of them are
too small, and others can neither be
heated lighted nor ventilated properly.
1t is not generally good economy to
spend any money in repairing such
blildings, though this has lately been
successfully done in few instances.
A new school house is greatly needed
in the First Ward of Mauch Chunk bor-
ough. Some OF the rooms in the present
building have been utterly unfit for use
for number of years They are damp
ard the means of lighting and ventila-
ting them are go poor that the health of
both teachers and pupils is endangered.
Two Of the rooms are more objcctional
70: school purposes lhan any other school
rooms in the county. 1t is to lie hoped
tlat the taxpayers of the town will give
proper encouragement to the efforts mGde
by the present Board to secure the means
of erecting u new building in the near
future.

In Summer even, when the day is done,
And crimson curtains obscure the sun,
The many voices of night begin,
With notes discOrdant aud tremulous din;0
But through them family the quick eur hears
A strain of muse from former years
My guardian spirit, on noiseless wings,
Comes to my chamber and sweetty sings.
He sings of feelings thatsong have gone,
@OflOve and fonduess at manhoods dawn;
The words repeating that once said
When she was living who now is dead.
From years long faded, through woe and
wrack,
The time long buried comes sudden back,
When all was colored with rosy hue
Each man trustworthy each woman true;
When Hope was urging herwitchlng schemes,
The days romances, the nights sweet dreams
Il hear the breezes from coppiced hills;
Z hear the murnurs of pebbled rills;
II hear the rustling of birchen trees;
i hear the droning of wandering beesS
I hear the signing of fir and pine;
u hear the lowing of plodding kline.

MIX, and What it is Made OF.

Milk is an animal product, containing
fat and fesh-forming material. Those,
parts will separate by gravitation. The
fat of a cows milk is the same as the
fat in the cows body, only it is not SO
pure, for in the fat of the milk are Vege-
table products, such for instance as
vegetable color. Feed the cow with
green grass, and the fat, as found in
her butter, will have a golden color.
Dry the grass before the cow is fed with
until the color has faded out and the fat
found in the butter has lost its golden
color, Expose the golden colored but
ter to sunlight, and the color will fade
from it as from grass, leaving fat very
closely resembling the fat in the cows
y-tallow. There are other vege-
table substances in the butter besides
color. The flavor and odor of the
plants upon which the cow is fed are dis
tinctly noticeable in the milk. Though
the fat in butter is the same as the tall
low Of the COW, these substances which
give color and flavor to it injure its
keeping qualities. Tallow, when freed
from the tissues that hold it in place in
the body of the animal, will keep a long
tinleexposed to heat and atmospheric in
fluences, without becoming rancid.
Some of the vegetable properties found
in milk may escape by evaporation,
others may be driven out by heat.
Physicians order boiled milk for their
patients.
The animal product milk, if coming
from a diseased animal, must carry.
with it disease similar to that affecting
the animal. A COW that is oVer-fed with
grain, corn, or oil meal may, as a con-
sequence, have an Inflammation in her
stomach, and general fever, ard her
milk would be fevered and unfit food
for feeble children or inyalids. The
COW may not have been fed too much,
but improperly fed, until for lack Of
proper food, a morbid appetite is
created and the symptoms may be d
desire for eating bones. Such milk as
she would produce would lack the ele-
ment the body lacked which furnished
the milk, and would be poor food with
which to build up the body Of a child.
If the COW is young and vigorous and
heF food is of the sweetest and purest
kind and of wholesome varieties, she
? will send from her body into the milk
pail animal matter that will impart
health and vigor to the child or invalid
using it, and to the workingman
strength, as though he had eaten Of
the cows body.
The different parts of milk are very
unlike and they cannot be kept together.
except by mechanical means, such as
agitation, and the moment that ceases
they begin to separate by grayitatlon.
tie fatty part rising, the fleshy part
settling. Exposed in shallow pans
some of the impurities are lost by evap-
grafton; others may be recovered by re-
moving the fatty portion or cream, for
in that is found the coloring matter, the
transforming part of the milk holding
NO color derived from the food OF the
COW. This manner of purifying the
milk makes it a proper food for per-
sons of weak stomachs. It q person

he could possibly have it, would he .saKsl
