The superiority of Wells, Richardson e.
Co.'s Improved Butter Color over all 9TH
ers made, is again demonstrated by its rec
practical use is what tells the story, and
the great value ofthe premiums given by the
Agricultural Fairs, lies in the fact, that the
judges in these cases are regular farmers,
who know what their needs are and what
will supply them. Wells, Richardson &c
Co.'s Improved Butter Color, which has
taken first premium at all fairs where ex-
hibited, is put up in a vegetable oil so pre-
pared that it can not become rancid, most
important property, the lack of which is
fatal to so many of the Butter-Colors Of
fered for sale. 1t does not color the butter
milk; it imparts n bright natural color,
which is unattained by many others; and
being the strongest is the cheapest Color
in the market.

French farmers are giving increased
attention to sheep husbandry, with a
tendency for the production of meat
ather than wool. The competition is
at present between crosses of the South
downs and Shropshires. The shep-
herds receive percentage on the sale
of the sheep, the wool, the lambs and
the milk, but against these is set the loss
of the animals according to scale. The
dogs have their canine and incisor teeth
extracted.

A SIGNIFICANT LEADER.
The Seymour Platform of 1861 Speaks
the Principles of the Party Then Gatd nOac.
N Y World


WORD TO Mr.. MoRRIsoN.-In 1868 the
Democrats held their National Convention in
this city. Horatio Seymour, New York's
most honored statesman, was nominated for
President.
On the committee on resolutions were
James A. Bayard, of Delaware; William J..
Allen, of Illinois; George W. Click, of Kan
sas, now Dem ocratic Governor of the State
William Preston, of Kentucky; Henry G..
Murphy, of New ork; Wade Hampton, of
South Carolina; and Thomas S. Bocock, of
Virginia.
The platform declared in favor Of "a
tariff for revenue upon foreign imports, and
such equal taxation under the in ternal rev.
enue laws as will afford incidental protec-
ton to domestic manufactures, and as will,
without impairing the revenue, impose the
least burden upon and best promote an i en-
courage the great industrial interests Of the
country"
Upon this platform Governor Seymour ran
and carried the state of New York over the
patronage of the administration, the preju-
dices of the war and the great military pres
tige of General Grant.
1t voiced the principles of the Democratic
party then. 1t speaks the principles of the
party now.
Only upon the Seymour platform or some
thing like it can New York be carried by the
Democrats in 1884.

The Bloody Shirt.

10 Tie EullOr VI Tue
The following may throw some light on
the history of ''The Bloody Shirt.''
Gilman, the third Arabian Caliph, a mild
and just, though inefficient ruler, was as
sassinated at Medina, in the year 655 A. D.,
by insurgents who slew the venerable Ca
liph with many wounds as he sat with the
Koran in his lap.
Moauryah, who had been made governor
of Syria by the Caliph Omar, rebelled against
Ali, the lawful Caliph, who succeeded 9th
man, under pretense of a desire to punish
the murders of that Caliph; and, for the pur-
pose of exciting the populace, he exposed
the bloody shirt of the martyr Caliph in the
mosque of Damascus.
After all, it is difficult matter to get at
the origin of anything.
The mantle of Caesar was also used to
rouse the popular indignation.
And then there was the shirt of Nessus,
saturated with the venom of the Lernaean
Serpent, which poor Dejanira, in obedience
to the dying Centaur, gave to Hercules be-
lieving it would act as a charm to keep his
affections from wandering, but which caused
the death of her beloved husband.

Traini2ar of Good Cooks.

Good cooking lies in the foundation of
everything worth having in this life. We
eat to live, and it is of primary importance
that what is eaten be prepared in a way to
get all that is possible out of it of nerve, bone
and muscle. This is not done with three
fourths of the food placed upon our tables.
Ignorance and carelessness have presided
over its cooking, and it is not much better
fit for assimilation in the stomachs which are
compelled to receive it than clay or sand
Mental and moral conditions are so dependent
upon the physical that the bad cookery which
disorders the latter is to large extent re-
sponsibe for the evils which the community
is constantly fighting. With intelligence in
our kitchens presiding over the preparation
of the food that is to flourish our bodies would
come better health, clearer brains and a
moral sense. Realizicg these facts and the

The White .EIepItant.

Twas at the pink elephants private view
and should have written you about the brute
before this, only said to myself, cui bono?
Old Tongue Bramah, or whatever they choose
to call the ''white" elephant, is tremen-
dous disillusion and no more white than an
alligator is. He has got pink patch across
his face and trunk, little pink dots on the
outside of his ears, yellow toe-nails and a
handsome pair of tusks. That's about the
size of him as curiosity, and don't call
that much. Far more interesting to look at
is the Mahout Rajee, who takes care of the
sacred elephant, an Ethiop with dark, intel
lgent eyes, a pronounced moustache and a
fine head of wavy black hair, which falls to
his waist. You will have heard ere this that
though two bronzes are on their way hither,
the learned society in command of the Zoo
logical Gardens has decided that no mum
merry of worship shall take place there. One
thing the arrival of the sacred elephant in
London has brought out most clearly, and
that is that there are plenty ST Englishmen
here who can speak Hindostanee. Rajee
was able to ask for rice for the first time
after he got to the Zoo, through the medium

Simple Tests For Pare Water.

DR.. Baker, of the Michigan State Board of
Health, suggests the following simple tests
for drinking water:
Color.-Fill bottle made of colorless
glass; look through the water at some black
object; the water should appear perfectly col
orless. A muddy or turbid appearance indi-
Gates the presence of soluble, organic matter,
or of solid matter in suspension
Odor.-Empty out some of the water, cork
up the bottle and place it for few hours in a
warm place; shake it, remove the cork, and
if the odor is in the least repulsive, the water
should be rejected. By heating the water to
boiling an odor is evolved atotherwise may
not appear.
Taste.-Water fresh from well is usually
tasteless, even though it may contain large
amount of putrescible organic matter. Wa
ter for domestic use should be perfectly
tasteless, and remain so, even after it has
been warmed.
Heisch's Test for Sewage Contamination
Fill clean pint bottle three-fourths full OF
water, dissolve a teaspoonful Of loaf or gran
ulated sugar, cork the bottle and place it in a
warm place for two days. If the water be-
comes cloudy or muddy it is unfit for domes-
tic use. If it remains perfectly clear, it is
probably safe to use.

Fanny E1lslerss old Age.

Vienna Letter to Philadelphia Press.
Fannie has never married, although she is
reported to have been beset with offers from
her sixteenth to her SEVENTEEN year. She
is credited with having had number of
lovers and an officer in the Austrian cavalry
and a well-known stock broker in this city
are reported to be her sons, but the relation
has never been publicly acknowledged.
The notorious scandal about herself when a
bewitching girl of eighteen and the Duke de
Reichstadt, son of Napoleon L., she has al
ways stoutly denied. She says their bruited
love affairs must have been purely metaphys
ical, because she never, she avows, laid eyes
on the handsome and ill-starred youth, She
lost a large part of her fortune some years
since by speculations on the Bourse, but has
sufficient left to keep her in comfort and in
dependence. No trace of her personal
charms has been visible for twenty years.
She is quite stout, ford and very course
looking, but she is still good natured and of
ten witty. Piety is a speciality of her old age
and she contributes literally to the Roman
church. Her conversation is clever and in
teresting and some of her anecdotes of the
by-gone days are very entertaining. No one
would believe now that she the quondam
