coLoR1Ne BUTTER.

The Ddirymdn and Farmer ad- vances the following argument in favor of the use of extracts for coloring but ter :-"No one is afraid to eat the red or yellow beet on account of their color. The extracts for coloring butter or cheese arc equally as harmless. Some say, why use color? Why not leave it as it is by nature? In answer, we say such is not the principle that we follow ordinar- lily. We rather aim to remedy natural defects. For this reason we trim the trees in our lawns and the hedges that surround them into fanciful shapes. We paint our houses with colors pleasing to the eye, although other colors might be more durable and preserve the building for longer time. We array ourselves in clothing of varied hues, although scientists claim we should wear pure white in summer and black in winter, and they must be cut the latest style or we are not happy. We all have an eye to beauty. The taste demands yellow butter. June butter by nature is yellow. This is the standard natural color. It pleases the eye. It looks better on the table, if it tastes no better. Therefore those who purchase butter prefer yellow
 butter and will pay more for it. There
 is no deception in the color, as it does
 not in the least effect the taste, but il
 does improve the looks and in that way
 adds to it's value. A tasty housekeepel | | n
 knows that plate of nice yellow butter
 looks much better than plate of white
 lard-colored, and this is taste which ii
 commendable and which buttermakeri must not over look.

WANTED TO BE CONSIDERED A SMITH.

There was a very good story in the plpers of the day of joke which was played by old Dr. Caldweld, formerly of the university of North Carolina.
 The old doctor was small man, and lean, but as hard and angular as the most irregular of pine knots.
 He looked as if he might be tough, but he did not seem strong. Neverthe- less, he was, among the knowing ones, reputed to be as agile as Ca cat," and, in addition, was by no means deficient in knowledge of the "noble sc ence of self-defense." Besides, he was as cool as cucumber. Well, in the freshman class of certain year was a burly beef mountaineer of eighteen or nineteen. This genius conceived a great contempt for old Bous' physical dimensions, and he was mortified that one so deficient in muscle should be so potential in his rule
 Poor Jones-that's what we'll call him-had no idea of moral force. At any rate he was not inclined to knock under, and be controlled despotically by a man that he imagined he could tie and whip. He at length determined to give the gentleman gentcel thrashing some night on the college campus, pretending to mistake him for some fellow student
 Shortly after, on dark on rainy night, Jones met the doctor crossing the campus. Walking up to him abruptly:
 "Hello, Smith, you rascal--is this your"
 And with that he struck the old gen tleman a blow on the side of the face that nearly felled him.
 Old Bolus said nothing, but squared himself, and at it they went. Jones youth, weight and muscle made him an ugly customer" but after minute or two the doctors science began to tell, and in a short time he had knocked his becfy antagonist down and was astraddle his chest, with one hand on his throat, and the other dealing vigorous cuffs on the side of his head
 ooh stop! beg pardon, doctor l- Dr. Caldwell--a mistake--for heavens sake, doctorI" groaned Jones, who thought he was about to be eaten up "I-I really thought it was smith, The doctor replied with a word and blow alternately:
 at makes no difference; for present purposes consider me Smith,"
 And it is said that Old Bolus gave Jones a pounding, then and there, as probably prevented his making another mistake as to personal identity, at least on the college campus Exchange.
