Dairy Notes.

If you are troubled with white
spocks in butter, STIR the cream every
morning before it is churned, and the
specks will not appear.
Cows that suck themselves are
practically worthless for dairy use.
They can be cured, but it is usually
more trouble than tho COW is worth.
The amount Of milk brought to
Boston every day is about Is, 600 cans,
which develop strangely into 20, geo

With her usual policy. the Church en-
desyored TO give CHRISTIAN significance
10 such Of the rites as could not be rooted
out, and in this case the conversion vaspar-
ticuEarly easy. The bon6res can be traced
in the great "pasehal tspers," some
times weighing three hundred pounds. with
which the churches are lighted on Easter
eve. One of the most characteristic rites
of the day is the giving of Easter eggs with
which all are familiar; and there can be
little doubt that the use OF eggs was origin
ally symbolical OF the reyiyi6cation OF ma
ture-:he fpyinging forth of lite in spring.
The practice is not confined 20 Christians
the Jews used eggs in the feast OF
the Passover; and we are told that the
Persians when they keep the festival OF the
solar new year, in March, mutually pre-
sent each other with eolored eggs.

on the back of the head. The child was
sitting on the track playing with . an can,
when coupling struck her in the back OF
the head, Just above the neck, penetrating
the skull and impalng her. She was car
ried for some distance in this position
when she was found by John Golden,
who lifted her away from the pan,
when her brains ran ont upon the ground.
Thinking that her life might yet be saved,
he picked up the child's brains and put them
back into her crushed skull. Not being
able to stand the horrible scene, he called
assistance and the child was carried to her
home, and Coroner Schultze was sent for.
Twas found that her right arm was cut
of at the elbow, her neck broken and Lett
arm broken. Of course death was almost
instantaneous.
No Jury was empanelled by the coroner
as the cause Of the child's death was be-
yond question. The affair is doubly sad,
inasmuch as Mr. Hines, who is a poor
man, had the misfortune to lose his wife
and another child not long since.
1t has been a mistaken idea by 8 great
many people that person when receiving
a fatal injury should be kept in the same
position and condition as near as possible
as when found. This is very wrong unless
some suspicious Of foul play are entertained.
Many times lite could probably be woOed
back to the injured person, when mostl!
they are allowed to remain in an uncared
for condition and no attempt made to save
them.
