the impression that there is something
in the localities where they live thatis is
untavorable to insects. This, how.
ever, is not the case. 1t is only ques-
ton of time when insects, high taxes,
and paupers will be as common there
as in other places.
Henry Woodford, farrier, was pros
ecuted the other day in London by
the Society for tho Prevention of Cru
city to Animals for having burnt the
mouth of 4 horse for "lampas,n which
is an inflammation of the roof of the
mouth caused by teething or disor-
dered stomach. A witness stated that
he saw the horse held by a switch on
the nose, whilst Woodford was smear
ing the roof of the mouth with hot
iron. There was quantity of smoke,
and frizzling noise arising from the
burning of the flesh, and the animal
was moving its head backward and
forward as if in great pain. The
magistrate dismissed the charge, as
the "evidence showed that veterinary
surgeons were divided in opinion as to
the treatment for lampas,"
Mr. A. c. Tichenor, says London
paper, has lately patented process by
which a current is passed through
milk contained in vessel of special
form, and butter is formed in little
balls on one OF the electrodes. 1t is
said that to extract the butter from
forty-iivc litrcs of milk, the current
from Il dynamO-clectric machine
equivalent to that of about forty Dam
iell cells, for from three TO five min
utcS is all that is required. With such
current the balls of butter are suili-
cintly volumnous to detach them
selves from the clectrode and float 10
the surface of the milk but the butter
thus obtained has still to be churned,
so as to work the small pieces into
compact mass.
In iining three butchers, n short
time ago, for selling blown mutton,
Justice Massey, of Brooklyn, made
the following sensible remarks: alt
seems 20 me that 4 butcher who sells
diseased met is as guilty as an apoth-
ccary who sells poison. The fact that
the druggist was ignorant of the ma
ture of the goods he sold would be no
excuse, and if he knowingly sold pois-
on because it cost him less than the
drug asked for he would be guilty of
4 great crime. The same is true of
these butchers. | think they should
not be allowed TO sell If they don't
know diseased meat. and should be
severely dealt with if they knowingly
sell it.
Ii is often mystery why well-huilt
and carciully-managcd houses, cspe-
clally in the country. burn down. An
illustration of unsu,pcCtcd causes was
found by the Sanitary Science club of
Boston on one of its visits Of inspcc-
tiOn to the houses of the members.
The cellar had been lathcd and plas.
tered, and the wood was allowed to
touch the hot-air pipes of the furnace
in four out of the six places where the
pipes passed through. The aim
seemed 10 be to make as tight Joint
as possible. A very hot fire could
hardly have failed to char the laths.

Prof. Sheldon says the daily school
near Cork has had the effect of per-
ccptibly raising the average of butter
in the south OF Ireland. A number Of
Young women have been well drilled
in the principles of buttcr-makng in
that valuable institution, AMI these IN
turn have carried the reform into the
localities in which they live. The spir-
it of emulation is extending, and the
people are beginning to take pride in
their dairy work.
