The whole operation of butter max
ing, from the taking Of the milk to the
delivery of the butter to the consumer,
is entirely mechanical but it is a
branch Of mechanics that tolerates no
mistakes, for the least failure to per-
form the proper operations at the pro-
per time results in an inferior article,
and perfect butter cnly commands the
highest price.

In appreciation of the warm friend
ship existing between Siam and the
United States, and of Minister Holder
mans faithful enforcement of treaty
obligations, the King Of Siam has pre-
sented to the American Government
buildings and grounds at Bopgkok all
complete for the United States legation.
Il is stated that the gift was offered
personally to the Minister, but he did
not fesl at liberty to receive it, except
on behalf of his Government, which he
has done. 1t will be remembered that
some time ago the United States Gov
ernment sent medal and presents to
the Rajah of Tuluban, in the Malay
peninsula, in acknowledgment of his
kindness to the crew of an American
ship wrecked on his coast. The Raiah
has just sent to the President of the
United States two handsome spears and
a Malay kress, as tokens of his friend
ship.

UNITED STATES EDrcArloxAL REPORT

The report of NJ. Eaton, United
States Commissioners OF Education, for
the past year has just besn published.
Il shows continued improvement in the
public SCHOOL systems of the several
States during the year, and places this
country at the very top of the ladder
In the amount expended on public edr-
cation. Some cf the figures on this
point are extraordinarily large. The
asnual income, for instance, of all our
schools is So, 2,587, ,205, and the value of
school property s2l3,Ss2,762; while the
expenditure par capita in the education
of children in attendancesat theypublic
schools ranged from s21.50 in Massa-
chusetts to 1885, in Tennessee.
There are now 278 normal schools In
the United States, against 9s ten years
ago sos business colleges, against SO
then 535 kindergarten, against meme !;
1868 academies, against none 300 col
leges for women, against none 1867
public libraries, against 306 % art
schools, against none; ID schools for
the feeble minded, against none, and
II reform schools, sgains. 20. This. is
certainly progress in decade.
There are 293, 294 teachers employed
In the various schools and colleges :;
the highest monthly salary paid male
teachers being in Massachusetts,,
$l02. 80, and female,iL Arizona 1868. 19.
Men get three times as much as women
in New England, whereas the two
sexes are paid about the same in the
South.
The number of children enrolled In
the public schools is 10,013,826, of
whom 6,118,s3l are in attendance; and
in private schools 567,s74,a grand total
Of $3.50, ,205 children, or tbree-Gfths of
al those cf educabIe age.
The report is not very 1Attering TO
the public school system CT Louisians.
Il complains of the poor pay of teach
ers, the insufficient provisions for COM
fort in the rural schoolhouses, the
inadequacy of the school funds, together
with the wants of definite school law.
Corresponding with the new Constitu.
tion these several defects, the report
declares, have combined to make eff
cient educational work very difficult.
a very interesting feature which the
report presents is in reference to the
schools for the instruction of the ne
groes. There are now fifty-six normal
negro schools in this country, with
8509 students in attendance forty
three institutions for secondary infor-
nation, with 6632 eighteen unigersi-
ties, twenty-four schools of theology,
four Of law, three of medicine and
1882 prblic schools, the total number
of negro students enrolled in these be-
ing s21, $3.50.
There is SO much in the report that
it is scarcely possible to give eyea its
most prominent features indeed, nearly
every tast that it contains is interesting,
as showing the interest taken in the
cause of education throughout the
United States.

PRRsIDENTs WIVES.

The misfortune Of women who
have been the wives ofour later Pres
dents Is remarkable. Mrs. HARRISON
Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Lincoln and Mrs.
all became widows while at
The White House, the two last under
the most terrible circumstances. The
arst Mrs. Tyler died while her hus-
band was President, and the second
Mrs. Tyler, who Is now living at
Georgetown, D. c., was compelled to
ask Congress for a pension In 1879.
President john Tyler died at
Richmond In January, 1862, aud his
property was destroyed by the war.
Mrs James K. Polk, who Is yet living
at Nashville at the advanced age of
81, had Q fortune left her and has
ong enjoyed the society Of = rare cir
Gle OF devoted friends, but the last
days of her life have been much en-
blttered by the disgrGeeful defalcation
and subsequent imprisonment OF her
nephew, who was State Treasurer OF
Tennessee. Mrs. Tyler and Mrs. Polk
are the only women now living who
were wives of ante bellum Presidents
and It Is rather odd that DIrs. Tyler
is the younger OF the two by 25 or 80
years, whereas her husband was Pres
idsnt In 1913 and 1914, while Mr..
Polk did not come into Office untIl Ia
ter. Mrs. Tyler was not only sec
ond wife, bat married at the age OF
Is. She Is the only Presidential wife,
I believe, who had the honor OF Civ
Ing wedding reception at the White
House. There at leait two people In
New York who danced at that recep-
tion-Henry Bergh and his WIFE.
shall not attempt to recount the mis-
fortunes Of Mrs. Lincoln and Mrs.
Garfield, for they are well known TO
all the world. P)or Mrs. Lincoln
survived her husband dozen years
or more, Iu' sho never survived the
shock that his death gave her, aud the
latter days OF her life were clouded
by q dIsorded mind. Few and far
between were the happy moments
that fell to her lot from the turbulent
hour that her husband became Pres
ident. The sorry OF Mrs. Andrew
Johnson Is almost as pathetic, but Il
Is not so well known. She was near
~ sixty years old when her husband
bscame President, and bad been mar
ried over forty years. She was almost
as little known at Washington during
the Presidential career of Aodrew
johnson as II she had not lived at all
and the American people knew less
about her than Of the wives of any of
the Chief Executives OF their country.
she died In 1876, six months aite
her husband had died. I do not sup
pose Mrs. Grant is by any means a
happy woman, though she has the
satisfaction ofkhowing that the Amer
lean people will always hold her hus-
band In the highest esteem for his
great military services. The disaster
that came upon General Grant and
her sons, who were 10 business In the
firm Of Grant & Ward, told very
heavily upon her, and she, along with
the other recent Presidents wives
has burden to bear. Mrs. Hayes
seems to be peacefully settled
In life, and lives quietly at little
village in Ohio. The greatest misfor-
tune that hes come upon her is that
she Is the wife of the President whose
title was always held in doubt by q
majority of the American people, and
who hollis as ex-President very In |
place In public estimation.
