of Rev. Father Rouge, in which is
recited the many obstacles with which
he had to contend before having that
edifice finished. 1t is to be regretted
that the enterprise failed TO meet with
his expectations, as he anticipated when
the building would be finished it would
be free from all membranes; but. IN
stead. there Is debt Of seyera! thou
saud dollars. hanging over it. The
building itself is not only ali ornament
to this place, but would be credit to
any town IN this State, and the instltu"
ton is one much needed in our COM
munity. 1t is with feelings OF regre'
that we have to announce the fact thai
many Of the rising generation of thu
community are sadly deficient in edu
cation. caused prime pally through tn
failure Of having the necessary inst'tu

, receive, and that our Police Jury vii

WE have to thank our readers for the
promptness with which they have shown
a practical interest in this department
by their valuable contributions. Let
them continue, and let every branch of
home affairs have its share of attention.
Every wife and mother has thoughts on
these subjects, which have arisen out of
her experiences, that would be read
with pleasure by others if noted down,
and sent to the editor. Send your name
and address with your articles, so that
we may know to whom we are indebted.
If you desire another signature in print,
give that too, but we hope many will al
low us to print their true names and adj
dresses, so that our Household " may
become personally acquainted, as it
were, through this column. But OF
course we do not insist upon this. Let
each follow his own inclination, but,
anyway, don't fail to edo good and
communicate.

Honesty.

Discussing the question whether hon
esty is the best policy, Harper's Dracer
says: We admit that the world has
only qualified admiration for the man
who cheats in the sale of horse, or
makes money by selling us bad flour
branded as good, and we feel a right
eous disgust for the low fellow who
filches ham out of our smoke-house.
For the low fellows there is almost a
common consent of public opinion
that honesty should be their policy.
But do we have the same feeling toward
a man who corners wheat on large
scale, and makes such rise in prices
that the low fellow, who is pinched,
maybe, for something to eat, thinks
himself justified in taking the ham?
Of course we say that his conduct is
outrageous, and that he ought to be
hanged, but whether he shall be in
vited to dinner and keep his place in
society, on account of his operation,
depends good deal upon its success;
whereas the operation of the ham
man is just as reprehensible in the eyes
of society whether it succeeds or not.
ooh, my friends, says the preacher of
this world, the eye of the world is
upon us; we are passing away; let us
be honest in small things"

You asked for the experience of others
upon the same subject. l have ex-
pected to see report from some one
who has stock of pure or thorough
bred animals, as Mr.. Peck's COW seems
to be of that class. 1t is evident that
he has not read all the agricultural pa
pers. l have seen and heard reports of
scores of cows, from the milk of which
more than an ounce of butter was made
from pound of milk. have no doubt
that there are hundreds in the country
that have not been reported, or even
tested, and the owners do not know of
their butter qualities.
Mr.. Peck does not give the age of his
COW, or say how long she has been Civ
ing milk, items supposed to have an
influence upon the product. My cows
are grade Jerseys. have bred for but
ter-quality and color. They would be
called small mixers by some. prefer
a COW that will make the most butter
from given amount of milk, other
things being equal. l will give the re-
suit of few tests / have made when
the cows were flush, or within month
after coming in. The feed has been
regular, the same, as at other times, for
to feed for effect does not give practi-
cal results. The butter was weighed
after being washed, and before sailing.

How Men Would DO 1t.

Could anything be better illustra-
ton of the way women do their work,
as compared with the way men do
theirs, than to look over village of,
say, thousand families on a Monday
morning. In thousand little kitchens
a thousand women would be seen
thrusting wood into thousand little
cook stoves, heating thousand little
wash-boilers, bending their backs over a
thousand little wash-boards, and hang
ing their clothes on q thousand clothes
lines. If, by some singular social rev.
olution, the men of such village were
to undertake to do the same work, their
very first step would be to get up a
stock company, invest capital and ma
chinery, so organize the work that
about half a dozen men would do the
work for the whole town, receive good
salaries therefor, and the rest of the
men would go about their own business
on Monday, just the same as on other
days.-Helen T.. Stdrrett
