All Start Together.

Under the present circumstances, the
farmer dairymen, should make a most
energetic attempt TO improve the gen.
eral quality of the butter product. tits

tanned. In the West butter has a
double fight, inasmuch as large guam
titles of the best butter of the famous
creameries is used 10 mix with lard, to
manufacture butterinc, so that part of
the genuine dairy product is used
to break down the market for the other
portion. In the East the demand for
good butter must largely increase, for
New York now has sweeping spurious
butter law, which, if carried out, will
cause large increase in the State of

there Is no reason why ninety per cent.

qualities and colors, and only ten per
cent. actually No. /. There is an ex-
cuse for "awav-out-West" butter being

and there is not the favorable chance
that exists in Ohio for making a good

that is to stop mixing all grades of but

The Pipe i'm the Milkpail.

The virtue of cleanliness grows by
experience; by gradual clearing of the
mental sight; just as perfect morality
is of slow and continuous growth; n
when one climbs n hill his view enlarges
as he rises and when he reaches the
summit he perceives with surprise how
much was hidden from him before So
when he begins to practice this virtue
in the dairy, it grows upon him, simply
because his mind is fixed upon it and
he sees things which before escaped his
notice. Now the stable is generally
inexpressibly nasty to sight and scent.
But it is wholly unnecessary that il
should be so. There are stables in
which one might find nothing disagree
able. and in which the air is purer than
in many dwelling houses. A man whose
house is not perfectly clean will never
have a clean stable, simply because he
does not know what perfect cleanliness
is.
A neighbor and l have had many a
discussion on this point. He says am
cranky, because asked him once not
10 smoke his excessively black pipe in
my milk room. The other day he was
smoking as he MIXED one of his cows,
and the pipe dropped from his mouth
into the full pail. was there at the
time and quietly Remarked: "You will
have to strain that milk twice" mo
more smoking for me about milking"
he replied. This fixes it. If so much
pipe as that is too bad for anything.
less of it must be bad too. / have often
thought about it since you asked me
not to smoke in your milk room"
That request was a revelation to him;
just as sometimes some great wicked
ness reveals to a man how bad he has
been and causes a total reformation in
regard to cleanliness in the dairy

and are shown in white, ecru, and
brown. There are also many percale
collars of dark porcelain blue shades
with small figures; stripes of bars of
white, and other colors are seen in
these also. The battlemented squares
of white cambria, or of pink or blue
squares alternating with whites quares,
are basted in the neck of young
ladies' dresses. There is a return to
the use of cuffs to match the collar by
many who gave them up. not because
white finish at the wrist was OBJ
iectionable but because it was
difficult to get good-fitting cuffs
of small sizes. The Jersey cuffs are
now chosen because they are of neat

Don't Watch the BOYS.

The latest nuisance that has been
sprung upon an inoffensive public, is
the boy with a watch. A boy is natur-
ally an infiiction in himself, but much
is forgiven to him, simply because he
is n boy. But when he possesses a
watch he ceases to be boy, and be-
comes a little man. Such a being rode
down on Cass avenue car the other
day. Instead of sprawling over the end
of the car outside, making faces at big
boys, and bullying the little ones, he
walked in with the air of man about
side an elderly gentleman, to whom he
seemed to occupy the relation of father.
Then he looked at his watch, started,
put it to his ear. felt treasured, and re-
marked that the town clock was wrong.
Next, he turned his elbows out, spread
his hands on his knees, and took no
note of time for minute and a half,
when his elderly companion asked hur-
riedly, with wicked twinkle in his
eye:
George, is your watch going?"
"Going where?" Then he recalled
himself with a distracted gesture, drew
forth that wretched time piece, and said
with awful severity:
Observation-Disclosures. Hadn't
you better set your watch by mine,
father?"
1t stands 10 reason that boy can not
have n watch and retain that sweet
boyishness which is the d.lght of his
parents, and the terror of the neighbor-
hood. How can he tear through back
alleys, and over vacant lots in 'hi spy
with a watch in his pocket, or crawl
under sidewalks and circus tents with
ease and propriety if timed down by an
hour hand? How can he stand on his
head, or make a wheelbarrow of him.

THE SCRAMBLE FOR WEALTH.

The Golden Rule has had occasion
several times to call attention to the
danger of the speculative mania, which
JUS now is possessing the American
people. The need of its warnings has
received ample proof in the succession
of failures which Wall street has wit
messed the past few weeks. Their NOR
al has been pointed by both secular and
religious press, but it may not be I'M
fitting TO notice one phase of the ques-
ton
Everywhere, particularly in our large
cities, terrible race for wealth is go
ing on. No one can make money fast
enough by earning it. Clerks, who
earn weekly wages, are dabbling in
stocks; women are trying their hand at
the uncertain game. The man who
has hundred dollars seeks not how it
may earn him six dollars, but how he
may double it. Men who have their
thousands want their millions. This is
simply an intense form of worldliness,
of which the Apostle said: If a man
loves the things of this world, the love
OF the Father Is not in him.
1t is abroad in the churches, and is
sapping the spiritual life. 1t is faint
Z,
separating the fathers from the chill
dren, and turning our homes into lodg-
lighthouses. And all for what? For a
fancied peace, ease and comfort, which
never comes. Every one knows that
great wealth not only is not necessary
Tor the deepest content, but is positive
ly unfricndly 10 it. Freedom from
care. a brain undistracted by possible
reverses, heart at leisure from itself,
little time TO give TO home, to friends,
and to God-these bring satisfaction
which boards of wealth can never buy.
The happiest people in the world,
the most useful people in the world. are
not those who have enormous establish
ments, liveried servants and elegant
equipages; they are these who are con-
tented to make their wants small, and
have means TO meet those wants. And
we claim it is every mans duty,
whether his income be five hundred
dollars a year, or five hundred thou
sand, to know if his income is covering
his expenses. 1t seems incredible that
any person OF common sense, who has
mastered the principles of subtraction,
can not know that if he 81 ends more
than he receives, he is bringing ruin
upon himself or somebody else.
When Mrs. Howe's famous bank was
exposed, it was supposed to be a purely
feminine idea that a bank could long en-
list which put in one hundred dollars,
and drew out two hundred. But upon
this principle n bank which counted
among its directors an ex-President, a
graduate of Harvard College, and So
called keen business man, seems to
have been conducted. just rs sure as
two and two make four. two from two
leave nothing. 1t would be well if for
a time more attention were paid to SUBJ
traction and division, and less to addi-
ton and multiplication.
The Bible states for us one problem
in subtraction which can not be asked
too often: "What shall it profit man
if he gain the whole world and lose his
own soul?" And, in worldly point Of
view, what is gained if a man have
riches, and lose his health. his peace Of
mind, his clear, unstaincd conscience:
Golden Rule.
