Why Eve Didn't Need a Girl.

A lady writer in one of our exchanges
furnishes Some reasons why Eve did not
keep girl. She says: "There has been a
great deal said about the faults of women,
and why they need so much waiting on
Some one, a man of course, has the pre-
sumption to ask, why, when Eve was
manufactured out of spare rib, servant
was not manufactured to wait on her?' She
didn't need any. A bright writer has said:
Adam never came whining to Eve with a
ragged stocking to be darned, buttons to be
sewed on, gloves to be mended right away
quick now He never read the newspa-
pers until the sun went down behind the
palm trees, and he, stretching himself,
yawned out, is supper ready, dearP' He
made the fire and hung the kettle over it
himself, we'll venture, pulled the radishes,
peeled the potatoes, and did everything
else he ought to do. He MIXED the cows
and fed the chickens and looked after the
pigs himself, and never brought home half
dozen friends to dinner when Eve hadn't
any fresh pomegranates. He never stayed
out till one o'clock at night and then scold-
ed because Eve was sitting up and crying
corner groceries while Eve was rocking lit
tie Gains cradle at home. He never called
Eve up from the cellar to put away his
slippers; not he. When he took them off
he put them under the fig-tree beside his
Sunday boots. In short, he did not think
she was especially created for the purpose
of waiting upon him, and he wasn't under
the impression that it disgraced man to
tighten his wife's cares little. That is
the reason Eve did not need a hired girl,
and with it is the reason that her descend
ants did,

W0man's Work.

Since the abolition Of slavery in the
South necessary change has taken place
in almost every class of labor and branch
of industry, and in no particular has the
change been greater than in the occupation
of our wives and daughters. They are
bound not only to do more work than ever
before, because they have not their old ser
wants to do it flor them, but they are also
compelled to branch out in occupationswhich
were never thought or dreamed of before
by their mothers and sisters in other days.
As an interesting essay upon this practial
subject We present the following extract
from private letter from Virginian now
residing in Washington city, and we think
it will be of instruction to our people, many
of whom have not yet come to properly
consider the revolution that has taken
place in matters at the South in the last
few years. The writer says
'Girls in the South, it seems, must either
be school teachers, or get married and be-
come household drudges. Necessity has
made them more practical up here, and they
may dc anything that promises to bring
them livelihood We have here female
stenographers, telegraph and telephone op-
orators, doctors, preachers, lawers, printers,
&c. Indeed, there seems to be no art or
craft into which they have not found their
way, and what is more, they are proud to
be as efficient and more reliable than men
in such occupations. This is as it should be.
There is nothing about honest labor to de-
grade any one, or make him ashamed, and
the idea Of women being made entirely de-
pendent upon men for livelihood is all
nonsense. Only give them an opportunity
to help themselves and they will be glad
enoug h to avail themselves of it, and make
their way in the world. The chief draw
back in the matter with the Southern girls
is, they have no opportunity to acquire lu-
crative occupations, and are compelled to
confine themselves to sewing and household
work, which pay them next to nothing.
Observation convinces me that the presence
of ladies in offices, stores or workshops is
more calculated to refine men than to in
jure their own delcacy. believe in intro
ducing our wives and daughters into every
profession except politics and the pulpit

my feet on him. But we seldom hear of
those wanting preacher popular with God.
You have enough preachers in this city to
bring all to Christ in thirty days, but the
pews are at fault. You pack preacher in

rem, that won't do. A man may be good

How to Make Genuine Butter.

All the fine, priced butter in this
market is made from ripened cream. The
highest favor and aroma can be brought
out in no other way. Butter made from
sweet cream, other conditions being favora-
BILE, may be palatable for day or two, but
it soon commences to change, and in few
days shows signs of rancidity. Butter made
from sweet cream just SKINNED, lacks
character and is almost neutral in taste.-
Too much washing in fresh water also takes
away the fine flavor. A moderate washing
in weak brine is adopted by the best dairy
men. Excessive washing, even in salted
water, is Objectionable.
Experiments in churning whole milk have
proven unsatisfactory, yielding q soft, in
sipid butter, lacking character and keeping
qualities. Several lots of butter made BY
the centrifugal process, recently observed,
have cheesy taste, without the grain mo-
ticeable in lots made under the creamery
process. They also lack in keeping quality.
Violent agitation of either milk or cream is
opposed to the butter product of the high
est quality. The motion of the centrifugal
machine is deemed too violent for the best
results. We doubt whether the centrifugal
system be profitable for the average dairy
man, whatever may be the outcome in
large factories. Again, it involves con-
siderable waste of power, where the natural
method demands absolute rest or absence
of motion.
The manager of well-appointed cream
cry last season consigned several lots of ap-
parently well-made butter to dealer here,
with the request that some large customer,
like hotel, be secured that would contract
for regular supply of butter of uniform
make and character The butter arrived,
was tested and rejected by reason of its lack
of butter flavor and character. 1t tasted
more like neutral lard than butter. The
manager protested that his methods were
all right, and should produce the best re-
suits. He visited Boston to investigate, and
found that the reform necessary was to ri
pen his cream before churning, instead of
churning fresh, sweet cream. With this
simple change his butter now commands
ready sale at satisfactory prices.
1t would seem that the ripening process
is necessity at some stage, either before
churning or else in the subsequent butter
product. Expert butter-makers are thor
oughly convinced that it is best for cream |
to be slightly soured or thoroughly ripened |
before churning.
However confident dairyman may be |
that he knows all about making choice but |
ter, however much conceit he may have in
his own methods, he can only command the
highest prices by conforming to the tastes
of the most fastidious consumers. If the
best trade demand the highest butter flavor,
which can only be secured through the
churning of ripened cream, it is folly to
consigE parcels of butter made from sweet
cream. Those who are willing to pay fancy
prices for choice parcels of butter should be
INDUCED in their reasonable whims or
tastes, and the dairyman who insists on
making butter his own way, regardless of
the wishes of the consumer, must take the
consequences in slow sales and low prices

SINCE BABY DIED.

Hark was not that the light beat
OF our darling's pattering feet,
Toddling and stumbling this waye
Once again, snrely that was noise
In the room among the toys,
For all the world like our boys
At his winsome play.
Ah, no. and again over all,
Over nursery, stairway and hall,
And over the hearthstone wide,
Does the hush unnatural fall,
Undisturbed by soft laugh or call,
That has muffled us like pail
Since baby died.
What, was 1t but yesterday
That here in death he lay
With flowers in his waxen hands?
Why, 1t seems like a year ago.
Instead of some hours or SO,
That he quilted US in his glow
For the angel bands.
And how wearily long 1t seems
Since only amid our dreams
We've chat'red and romped with him,
Since first in this scheme bound.
Our hearts have such sadness found
Reaching out to the little mound
In the church-yard dim.
Oh, silence of ecSoless feet,
Ofprattle and laughter sweet,
Oh, emptin ess dTeary and wide;
The world may wag of old.
But deep in our hearts, uncontrolled,
Is chamber disued and cold
Since baby died.

A True Incident.
POINTED ILLUSTRATION OF WHAT CAN BE
ACCOMPLISHED WITH FIVE DOLLARS.

Even a small amount of money in con-
slant circulation may cancel many obliga-
tions, or serve to give honest employment
to willing workmen. What helps one man
is likely to help another; and he who pays
his debts does more towards liquidating the
debts of other men than he will be likely to
imagine. The following incident, founded
on a real occurrence, illustrates our mean
ing
A. owed fifteen dollars to B.
B. owed twenty dollars to G.
G. owed fifteen dollars to D.
D. owed thirty dollars to E..
E. owed twelve dollars and fifty cents to
F.
F. owed ten dollars to A.
All of the persons that these initials rep
resent were seated at the same table.
A., having fve-dollar note, handed it
to B, remarking that it paid five dollars of
the fifteen dollars he owed B.
B. passed the note to c., with the remark
that it paid five dollars of the twenty dol
lars which he owed.
G. passed it to D., and paid with it five
dollars of the fifteen dollars he owed D.
D. handed it to E., in part payment of
the thirty dollars he owed him.
E. gave it to F., to apply on account of
the twelve dollars and fifty cents due him.
F. passed it back to A., saying: "This
pays half of the amount owe you."
A. again passed it to B., saying: 81 now
only owe you five dollars"
B. passed it again to c., with the remark:
"This reduces my Indebtedness to you to
ten dollars"
c. again paid it to D., reducing his in
debtedness to five dollars.
D. paid it over to E., saying: 81 now
owe you twenty dollars"
E. handed it again to F., saying: "This
reduces my indebtedness to you to two dol
lars and fifty cents.''
Again F. handed the note to A, saying:
"Now 1 don't owe you anything"
A: passed it Immediately to B., thus can
ceiling the balance of his indebtedness.
B. handed it to c., reducing his indebt-
ness to five dollars.
C. Cancelled the balance of his debt to D.
by handing the note to him.
D. paid it again to E., saying: 81 now
owe you fifteen dollars"
Then E. remarked to F.: eff you will
give me two dollars and fifty cents, this
will settle my Indebtedness to you"
F. took two dollars and fifty cents from
his pocket, handed it to E., and returned
the fve-dollar note to his pocket, and thus
the spell was broken, the single five-dollal
note having paid eighty-two dollars an6
fifty cents, and Cancelled AS debt to B.
C.'s debt to D., E. s debt to F., and F.'s
debt to A., and at the same time having re
duced B. s debt to G. from twenty dollars
to five dollars, and DPS debt to E. from
thirty dollars to fifteen dollars. Youth.

CHEcKs.-Check reins, as general rule,
are of little use on the road, except in the
case of inveterate stumblers. These it is
necessary to sometimes check up high, so
as to make them lift their feet, and besides,
if they do trip, the check rein Furnishes
them severely. Stumbling is chiefly due
to bad shoeing hence this use Of the check,
savors of needless cruelty. If horse shows
a tendency to stumble, pull off his shoes
and drive him barefoot, being careful not
to break his hoofs. He will soon get over
the tendency in all probability. When the
feet wear, if they do, SO as to necessitate
shoeing, if it is summer weather put on toe
clips only, and renew them often. The
check rein is used to make naturally
down-headed horse carry his head high, or
as high as his mate, and it is often made an
instrument Of wanton torture, by unfeeling
grooms and drivers. The real use of the
check is to prevent horse getting his head
to the ground when standing. It is of no
use at all, except as above explained, when
travelling. Every horse works better with
out one, whatever work he does.-4merican

The parent ofFnsomnta.

The parent Of insomnia O:
wakefulness is in nine cases out of
ten a dys2eptic stomach. Good
digestion gives sound sleep; indi-
gestion interferes with it. The
brain and the stomach sympathize
One of the prominent symptoms
of a weak state Of gastric organs
is a disturbance Of the great nerve
enlrepot, the brain. Inyigorate
the stomach, and you restore
equilibrium to the great centre.
A most reliable medicine for the
purpose is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which is far preferable
to mineral sedatives and powerful
narcotics, which, though they may
for a time exert a sopolofc influ-
ence upon the brain, soon cease to
act, and invariably injure The tone
Of the stomach. The Bitters, on
the contrary, restore activity to
the operations Of that all import
ant organ, and their benefcient
influence IS reflected in sound
sleep and tranquil state of the
nervous system. A wholesome
impetus is likewise given to the
action of the liver and bowels by
its use.
