GEN. MCDONALD, of whisky ring fame,
has filed protest with Gen. Rosecrans
against the passage of the bill to place
Gen. Grant on the retired list of the army.
He charges Grant with the responsibility
of the recent failures in New York, and
claims that he allowed his name to be used
in business so palpably fraudulent that
any other firm in the country offering to
pay investors 40 and 50 per cent year
would have been denounced as swindlers
from the outset and the principals lodged

There are two principal forms OF the
disease. One has its origin in oil-glands
of the skin; the other, in the scarf-skin
or epidermis.
In the first, the oil which exudes upon
the scalp for the purpose of keeping the
skin and hair soft, is thicker than it
should be and dries in thin flakes. Some.
times, especially in the case Of infants il
heaps up around the hair in thick masses.
It is occasionally confined to the edge of
the hair and to the top of the head The
fatty nature of the scales can be seen by
rubbing them between the thumb and
fore6nger.
In the more common form of dandruH,
the scales consist of scarf skin. The
entire epidermis is made UP of cells,
rounded in the lower portion, but be-
coming more and more flattened toward
the surface, and forming as a whole,
horny, transparent covering for the pro-
lection of the true skin beneath.
These fully iiattened cells are con-
stantly at the surface-new cells being
as constantly formed beneath and pushed
upward are rubbed off in an
almost impalpable powder in connection
WIN Washing anu lTlcltOus
In the case of dandruff, these worn-out
cells, instead of being thrown off in this
way, form dry scales, which are more or
less adherent to the surface The same
condition, essentially, may be found in
other parts Of the body, especially on the
arms below the elbow, and on the legs
below the knee. In both forms the skin
is peculiarly dry.
The disease may be due to dyspepsia
constipation, scrofula, and facilitating
diseases in general; to worry. overwork
and nervous strain; or to irritation OF
the scalp by fine toothed combs, hair
tonics, hair dies, etc. THERE'S reason to
believe, also, that it may be commnhi-
Gated by contagion, thus making it i'm
portant that no one should use another's
hair brush. When the disease exists in
marked form it is best to take medical
advice. 1t can be easily cured.
To prevent it avoid whatever would
irritate the scalp-all patent applications
and the use of fine tooth comb. In the
morning get the scalp into glow with a
stiff brush, and the rest of the day use a
soft brush for the hair. DO not wash the
head daily, unless the hair can be thor
Oughly dried. Once in two or three
weeks shampoo the head with soap, or
borax and water, carefully washing out
the soap Tor boraS) and drying the hair
But the best preventive is vigorous
health. - Youths Companion.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.


The only time that all the butter milk
and what it contains can be separated
from the butter, and removed without
recurring 10 knead or overw0rk the but
ter. Is while the butter Is yet In o granu-
lated form. If the churning be SO lar
advanced that the butter will be gath
cred III d large lump. it will have all
throuuhsthe lump more or less butter
milk. in which buttermillx there will of
course be membranous or Gaseous or
other solid matter. Not only will the
grain Of the butter be injured by the
kneading required t0remove this butter
milk, but the kneading will remove ut
tie else than the liquid of the butter
milk, leaving much of its solid matter
incorporated with the butter. The
kneading of the butter tends only to
press and soIidify all the solid matter
Of the mass, squeezing out only liquid.
Moreover, when the buttermilk IS
gathered into lump of butter, any faint
or impurity in the buttermilk,
bv closer. longer, even permanent
contact with the butter, materi-
ally Injuries the quality of the butter.
If. on the other hand, the buttermilk
and all il contains be drawn away before
the butter has advanced beyond the
granulated form. more perfect result
is secured. BY washing the butter at q
low temperature with water and brine,
the buttermilk and all it contains may
be removed from it. and before any
faint or impurity has been given to the
butter, and the grain be saved from
kneading that otherwise would be neces-
sary. In this process butter will be
taken out comparatively little effected by
defects or faint in cream. Cream may
be advanced mere or less toward bitter
taste or decay, and the butter because
being enclosed in and protected by its
pellicle, not yet affected. It is because
of this protection that sweet butter may
be made from sour cream. Sourness Is
an advancement toward decay. 1t il
equally true that the cream may be more
or less bitter and the butter hidden away
in it be yet sweet. When churned, the
sourness or bitter is in the buttermilk
and the butter is yet pure. The butter
milk adds its sour or bitter taste to the
butter according to the quantity and
time of its presence with the butter
The obvious remedy is the quickest anc
most complete preparation possible.
