Travelling i'm Norway.

From the BelgraUa.l
To pedestrians Norway is a paradise,
The regularity of the distance between
the stations, the exact information at
talnable respecting them, present a GER
talnty of accommodation in Just the sort
OF quarters that pedestrian requires.
All Norway is mountainous and pictur-
esque; there are no tame, fiat regions
anywhere; the climate is always bracing.
even in the hottest summer weather,
The alterations of walking and boat
ing or an occasional variation by tax
ing stage in carriole, which may be
done anywhere on the road, renders
Professionalism luxurious.
Bnt the best way of all for thoroughly
enjoying Norway is to adopt my ride
and tie" invention. Two tourists A and
B are at station G, and proceeding to
unknown regions X, Y, T. A starts on
foot leaving his knapsack behind in
charge of B vino pays the bill, takes
carrlole and starts half an hour later:
three miles ahead he over takes A, they
chat, compare notes with pony at walk
ing pace, they change places; A drives
to station Y, where he leaves the horse
and carriole he had been driving, or
ders another to be got ready and to
await his friend he then walks on to be
over-taken as before. This is repeated
at Y and z and EDWARDS. At dinner
time A orders the food, which is about
ready when B arrives. Fifty miles
day can thus be covered by walking
twenty-five. He who enacts the part of
A should learn enough Norsk to ex-
plain the intending arrival of B. This
is very easily done.
In other countries it would be difficult
to carry out such arrangements, as the
mercenary hotel-keepers and post
masters would do their worst to Illustrate
its economy. Norwegian peasants are
gentlemen, and therefore do not meas
ure out their respect to a guest accord
ing to the amount of his bill. The
tiunkey's worship of expenditure is
unknown among them.
A party of three may adopt the same
principal. Two should start to walk
after breakfast, leaving the third to fol
low with the knapsacks. Then one of
the pedestrians takes the drivers place.
With double carriole and two always
driving, only one-third of the distance
covered is done on foot. In this case
the luggage must be moderated, or the
station master will object, bnt the ordin-
airy luggage of two or three true pedes-
TRANS is less than that of one average

Soft or Hard Butter.

Although many suppose that the
best putter should be hard. vet there
are many reasons to show why the hard
and firm butter is not always the best.
As Prof Arnold states, the more atten-
ton is drawn to the matter the more
evident it becomes that COWS which
produce the alleged extraordinary if
not incredible yields draw from every
available source in their bodies unc-
tuous matter of every sort aud kind to
make up the unnatural yield, taking in
to their milk fats which would other
wise have been deposited in other parts
OF the body as tallow. The very Ian
guage employed in eulogizing such but
ter affords, unintentionally of course,
confirmation of this statement.
The phrase generally comes i'll words
like these: at is highly colored, good,
firm butter, hard and solid, and stands
up well in warm weather" When such
an expression is studied it is signifi-
cant. Butter is made up of ten or
twelve fats, only two of which, stearine
and palmatine, are hard at ordinary
temperature. All the rest are LIQUID
and some of them nearly aeriform. The
two hard fats are the chief constituents
of tallow. Palmatine, oftener called
margarine, with melting point below
40 degrees, is not very stiff substance,
so that the chief stiffening element in
both tallow and butter is stearine
When a man boasts of his butter as be-
ing unusually hard and firm, he is sim
ply saying that there is a supernatural
ance of just what we object to in oleo-
margar1ne-tallow, stearine and mar
garlne, the only fats that make butter
hard. Were it not for them, butter
would be liquid and used from bottles
like salad oil.
There might be some inconvenience
in using butter as liquid, but it would
have the merit of being highly favored,
because the butter flavor, which is all
In It's oils, would not be diluted with
fats for stiffening, which have no flavor,
or none but such as we have III talloW
However convenient they may be in
butter for commercial purposes, they
add nothing to the merits of butter for
eating. They only adulterate the more
delicious and digestible parts which
make butter the valuable product it is.
Butter which gives the most delightful
relish has but little stearine in it and is
often objected to because it is soft
But stearine makes avoirdupois, and
that is all that some may care for, but
the less of it in butter the better. He
says: "For my use, / would rather
have the butter of a COW that makes
one pound day than that of COW that
makes three, because the latter cannot
produce such weight without loading
it with tallow, to which her kidneys,
bowels and ribs have prior claim"

When Hayniman crept o er the ridge,
Crushed By sword blow in the head
How kind you were, for when he said
That he was thirsty, all you had
You gave in welcome, and were glad
That you could ease MS thirst. We sighed
At his misfortune. Well, he died

Still wear the uniform, hear the drum.

Some in the fight for daily bread
Are quite successful; some are dead.

A Coward Seeks a Pension.
fFrom the Century.1


At a club dinner in New York recent
~ an examining surgeon related the
following incident, showing how the ar
rears act developed pensioners out of
sound and undeserving men. During
the war he was surgeon of an infantry
regiment. When the regiment first
went into battle he observed, sitting be-
hInd big tree, at safe distance from
the lighting line, the captain of one of
the companies. What are you doing
here, Captain?" asked the doctor. I'm
not feeling well" replied the officer in
doleful voice. The surgeon was too
busy looking after the wounded TO stop
and inquire as to his complaint. a few
weeks later the regiment again got un-
der fire, and the surgeon found the
same captain skulking behind barn.
Hello! sick again?" he exclaimed.
We'll, the fact is, doctor, Tn not ex-
actly sick. I may as well own up that
I'm coward. There's no help for it.
1t must be constitutional. Now, doctor,
what's the use of my staying in the
army? Won't you help me get dis
charger" The surgeon thought he was
tOAH6 LILO Sodheiy a StINlC6 wien, q lew
days afterward, he recommended that
the man be discharged on the ground
of general disability. He heard moth
ing of the captain until 16 years later,
when he received a letter from the Pen
sion Office informing him that Capt.
Blank had applied for pension from
the date of his muster-out, and that as
he, as surgeon of the regiment, had GER
titled to the disability, would he kindly
inform the Government as to the nature
of the disease from which the officer
suffered? The surgeon replied that
the captains complaint was chronic and
incurable cowardice, not contracted in
the line of his duty, but constitutional.
The captains name did not go upon
the rob, and his plan for getting some
$4,000 for arrears and $50 month for
the rest of his life came to grief. How
many schemes no less dishonest have
succeeded through the complaisance OF
examining surgeons, less honest than
the narrator of this incident, could only
be ascertained by thorough overhaul
ing of the whole pension list and re-
examination of the entire army of pen
sioners.

Muiching Young Trees.

If the season is dry, trees that have
been newly set receive benefit from
mulching. The best material we have
found, is old forest leaves with little
earth upon them to keep the coating in
place. Partly decayed straw is also
good. Either of these substances will
hold moisture sufficiently to keep the
soil below in an invigorating condition.
This is highly important until the root
lets have taken firm hold. Green ma
terial should not be used as a mulch; at
least our experience has led to the be-
lief that such coating, especially of
weeds, is a decided damage, if not fatal
in its results. Having some newly set
cherry trees a few years ago, we gave the
soil around the roots of part of them
a heavy top dressing with green weeds,
the balance with old leaves, and Just
those mulched with the green material,
and no others of all set out, died.
That the mulching made with this
material was the cause of their dying
we have not the least doubt, but wheth-
er the serious effect arose from the
heavy coating keeping the ground too
cold and damp, or from poisoning the
soil, we are unable to tell, and do not
know that weeds would work the same
result upon trees other than the cherry;
however, we would advise farmers not
to make very liberal use of this ma
terial as mulch for choice fruit trees
of anv kind,

Teaching Cadets to Swim.
From the New Haven Palladium

n TUnl tDb NEW HaNGU
During the summer months the
cadets at West Point are taught how to
swim, how to rescue drowning per-
son, and the quickest method of re-
storing the apparently drowned. In
last years class sixty-seven were unable
to swim stroke when they reported
for the first season. Before the sum-
mer was over every one of that mum
Der could swim across the Huds n
River, and some of them back again.
The river is three-quarters of a mile
wide at that point. The class is taught
all the motions of swimming in the
gymnasium during the winter, so that
when they get into the water they
have comparatively little to learn.

ShYinp Horses.

The practice III vogue among nine
tenths of the human family with horses
that shy and scare at some unnatural
object by the oad-side, only makes the
horse worse instead of causing him
to forget the habit. When the horse
is pricks up his ears and begins to show
signs of fright, the common practice is
to rein his head directly toward the OBJ
ject which has caused the fright, and
ride or drive him up to it. Oten the
lash is used severely to enforce this.
and the poor trembling beast is made
to walk right up to the object, be his
fear what it will. This adds doubly to
the frightful impressions first formed
and rivets it in the animals memory
and instead of being broken of the
habit, 1t becomes worse every time it is
repeated. The best way to proceed to
get horse to quit such tricks, is to
use every possible effort to divert his
attention from whatever he takes
fright at. This is done by tightening
the rein next to the object, then draw
ing hard on the other, thus bringing
the head around in the opposite di.

The Poultry Coops

A coop ten feet square will accommo-
date twenty-five fowls if the roosts are
well arranged and kept scrupulously
clean. If the floor is of boards, it
should be arranged so that the rats can
not getunder it. If the floor be sprink-
led with dry earth or sand after it is
swept out with broom, which should
be done every day, the fowls will keep
healthy and be free from disease. A
good coop may be made ten feet square,
eight feet high at the back and three or
four feet at the front, the rear of the
coop, which should face the south,
having q greenhouse sash, three feet by
six, on the top. Such coop will cost
as follows: Sash, ready glazed, So; 300
rect of lumber for floor and sides, Sc !;
foot, about 81 (shingles); total $13.
This does not include labor, and may
cost less IN some places for material.
The nests should be of boxes, sepa-
rate, 50 as to be easily taken out for
cleaning. A good whitewashing should
be given the coop at least once month.
If confined IN yards the fowls should
be given exercise by throwing the hard
food into leaves in order to make them
scratch. Spade the yards up OCCASION
ally, which turns under the filth and
purifies them. Cleanliness is the best
medicine that can be given for warding
off disease Poultry Keeper.
