One of the fair ~saintesses of Panacs
writes the Phoebe Record a long letter in
which she gives our Mercer away as fol
lows: GA Mr.. Mercer of Eureka visited
Panaca last Monday. He was completely
overcome by the beauty of US girls. A,
first sight of us he slapped his hand
on his leg and exclaimed: "By George
Polygamy is the proper doctrine. How
happy / would be with all Of them" He
wanted to be ducked in the oil vat al
once and become O member of our flock,
but the elders dreaded his good looks,
and fearing that he might appropriate al
the girls, they declined receiving him
into the fold"

Bogus Butter.
A New and HnfaIiible Way of Distinguis h
ing the Genuine Article.

The Microscopical Society of the District
of Columbia Wednesday night heard Pro-
lessor Thomas Taylor, the chemist, at the
agricultural department on the subject Of
"Butter and it's limitations" The lecture
was illustrated with experiments in ffty diff
ferent tests. The result was that the mem
berss without dissenting voice, agreed that
the experiments demonstrated the certainty
with which the pure article could be detect
ed from any attempt at imitation, and also
showed the position and manner in which
evidence could be given in court of the cor
Eectness of the microscopical tests.
Prof. Taylor says that about six years ago
the House Committee on Manufactures sent
samples of what appeared to be butter, in
print form, to the Commissioner of Aericul-
ture, with the request that they should be
examined by the microscopic of the depart
ment, who should report as to the nature of
the substance, whether butter or oleomar-
garine, to the committee. Up to this period
he had no experience with oleomaIgarine,
but now gave the subject serious considera-
ton. and reasoned somewhat In this way
Acids under the microscopes; fatty acids are
polarizing bodies; therefore, with the aid of
the polarizing prisms will exhibit all the
rainbow tints. On making this test he was
delighted to realize the correctness OF his
suspicious, the crystals of fat being distinct
ly seen, accompanied by gorgeous display
of prismatic colors. AS real butter has no
free fat, it gives under the same circum-
stance plain and evenly distributed color.
He reported in accordance with the facts
that the samples sent him were "oleomar-

erett writes of George Eliot with discriminating
judgment keen insight and genuine sympathy. An
editorial The New Theology treats of the lncar-
nation in connection with the human life of Jesus.
Another writer advocates the removal of certain
needless hindrances aud discouragements which
prejudice young men of promise against the minis

touching pathos a view which, of course. dissents

"Uncle Remus."

Joel Chandler Harris, "Uncle Remus" of
the Atlanta Constitution, is the subject of
an interesting sketch In the Critic. He be-
came printers boy at IL years of age, and
has made his reputation by solid work. He
is of short stature and has small, tanned
stubby red mustache and his eyes are small
and blue. Both his eyes and mouth are ex-
tremely mobile, sensitive and expressive.
There is probably no living man more truly
difident; but his difidence is the result of
excessive sympathy and tenderness, which
cause his bright blue eyes to well up at any
bit of pathos just as they sparkle with hu-
NOR. His amusements and tastes are few
and simple. His constant companions are
Shakespeare, JOB, st. Paul and Ecclesiastes.
He is devoted TO his family, which consists
OF his mother, his wife, four exceedingly
bright boys and girl and the flock of mock
log birds that winter in his garden. He
never goes into society or to the theatre. He
once acted as dramatic critic of the Consti-
tuition, but his misery at being Obliged to see
and criticise dull actors was so acute that he
soon resigned the position. The small talk
OF society has no attraction for him. His
home is enough. When his children are
tired and sleepy and are put to bed, he
writes at the freside where they have been
sitting. 1t is warm in winter and cool in
summer, and never lonely; and so strong is
his domestic instinct that although he had a
room built specially as study, he soon de-
serted its lonely cheeressness for the COM
forts of his home, " here his tender and kind
ly nature makes him loved by everyone His
home is simple farm house three miles
from Atlanta, devoid of literary litter, art
treasures and bric-a-brac, and containing but
few books. He does his newspaper work in
the city in the daytime, and writes his stories
at home at night.
