sg The greasy look of butter, as if cut
with a warm knife, is not always due to
overworking. 1t may be caused by the
feed. Too much cotton-seed meal often
causes it, and we would caution those who
desire to make strictly first-class article in
appearance, as we'll as flavor, not to use cot
ton-seed meal or oil meal alone, but only
as an addition to grain. Churning too rap
idly or too long, or having the cream too
warm, will also produce the Objectionable
greasy look.

BoRAX.-Lady readers who have not test
ed the magic properties of boraX have been
losing a great help and comfort. If once
used, you will never be without bottle on
your toilet table. 1t removes stains and
dirt from the hands better than soap, and
at the same time softens and smoothes the
skin. 1t is splendid for washing the hair
and will, without injury, cleanse brushes
and combsin few moments. For washing
purposes it saves both soap and labor. 1t
will extract dirt from articles of delicate
texture without rubbing, it being only
necessary to put the articles to soak in 50,
luton of borax over night, and they need
only to be rinsed in the morning. Two
tabiespoonfuls of pulverized borax dissolved
in quart of water, to which water enough
cleanse them beautifully. 1t also saves
great labor in washing paint. 1t is said to
drive away ants and reaches, if sprinkled
on the shelves of safes and pantries.

Is HE A HERETO

IS HE A HERETO?
The Augusta Chronicle says: The princi-
pal matter of business before the Augusta
Presbytery, in session at Union Point last
week, was the consideration of cOmmuni-
cation from DIR. James Woodrow, late pro-
fessor in the Columbia Seminary. 1t was to
the effect that rumors in the public journals
and elsewhere were abroad charging him
with heresy. That as this is a grave offence
in the Presbyterian church, he asked his
brethren Of the Presbytery to inquire into
the matter and if they found the rumors
were we'll founded to prepare charges against
him and try him for that offence.
The Presbytery having no discretion in
the matter but to take action upon the COM
munication as requested, appointed COM
mittee consisting of Rev. H. NJ. Newton,
of Union Point; Rev. VIM. Adams, Rev.
G. r. GOetchiuS and Mr.. James w. Wallace,
of Augusta, and Col. J. A. Billups, of Mad
isOn, to examine into the rumors complain
ed of and if they found that they justified
legal proceedings, to report the same to
the Presbytery.
This was the only action that could be
taken yesterday and the status of the case
now seems to be about this DIR. Woodrow
was found by the four Synods, who had ju-
risdiction over him as a professor Of the
Columbia Theological Seminary, to be in
terpreting the teaching Of the Scriptures
upon the question of Evolution, not in ac-
cordance with their ideas. Accordingly they
instructed the directors of the Seminary to
take steps to prevent this teaching. The
measure adopted to secure this end was the
removal of DR.. Woodrow from the profess
sor's chair.
The ground that DR.. Woodrow now takes
is that this action implied that he was gull
ty of heresy: This, however, it is said, does
not necessarily follow, for the book of church
order draws distinction between heresy
and error, and by many leading clergymen
it is maintained that DIR. WoOdroW's offence
does not amount to heresy, but is simply
error in his Interpretation of the Scriptures
upon the subject of the creation. Believing
his teaching to be error, however, they were
justified in insisting that it should not be
continued in the Seminary.
Whether it was error or heresy is the
question to be tried, and the subject before
the committee for investigation. The in
telligence, prudence and Christian character
Of the committee give assurance that the
most ample justice will be done both DIR.
predicament to contend with: If they Sus-
tain DIR. Woodrow they condemn the ac-
tion of the Synods.
In declaring DR.. Woodrow hereto they
have his reputation, intelligence, learning
and Christian character to bear in mind.
The committee will enter upon the work at
once and will strive to arrive at just con-
cusion.
An adjourned meeting of the Presbytery
will be held in Augusta at an early day to
receive the report of the committee, and try
the charges preferred against DIR. Woodrow.
The session will be full of interest, and will
attract much attention not only from the
members of the denomination, but the pub
lie generally.

USEFUL LCEMENT.-Puscher, in the CTenli-
ken, Zeit,ng, states that the following cement
resists kerosene, and is usfeul for cementing
the brass collars to glass lamps. One part
of caustic soda, three parts of resin, and
five parts of water are boiled together; the
resin soap thus produced is mixed and well
kneaded with half it's weight of plaster of
Paris. 1t hardens in about three-quarters of
an hour. If zinc white or dry lead is used,
if hardenS more slowly.

MELONS AND SoUAsHEs.-A practical
gardener makes the following statement:
"Last year, as test of frequent practice
among growers of melons and squashes,
pinched the ends of the long main shoots of
the melons, squashes and cucumbers, and
left some to run at their own will. One
squash plant sent out single stem reaching
more than forty feet, but did not bear any
fruit. Another plant was pinched until it
formed compact mass of intermingling
side-shoots eight feet square, and it bore
sixteen squashes. The present year musk
melon plant thus pinched in, covered the
space allotted to it, and it sent twenty-three
specimens of fruit; the most of them were
pinched off. The pinching causes many lat
eral branches, which latter produce the fe-
male or fertile blooms, while the main vines
produce only the male blossoms. The diff
ference in favor of the yield of an acre of
melons treated by this pinching process
may easily amount to 100 barrels"
