The question of artificial butter,
bogus butter, or oleomargarine as it
sometimes is called created quite q
breeze among the United States Sen
ators when the question was before
that body last week. A number Of
Senators took the position that the
making of oleomargarine is as honest
a business as the making of butter
from the milk OF cows, and for that
reason legislation against it is i'm
proper and should not be engaged
in.

WHILE the wheat crop in the Uni
ted States this year is not large, it is
large enough to bread all our people,
and some to spare, but the surplus
cannot be sold at a high price if for
eign reports are true. The report
from India is, that there will bemore
wheat shipped from that country this
season than ever before.

1t was charged in the United States

Select Excursion TO Luray.


Among the natural wonders of the
world 'Luray Caverns hold most
conspicuous place. They are indeed
considered by many scientific men to
excel any other known caves in tie
beauty, variety, and extent of their
natural formations. In the numer-
GUS chambers which combine to form
an underground palace the myster-
ious hand OF nature has wrought ma
ny and curious limitations of well
known objects, and ornsmented the
interior with crystalline bric-a-brac
far superior to any ever fashioned by
the hand of man. A visit to these
wonders of nature is worthy the time
and attention of every one. In order
that as many people as possible may
be able to visit the caverns the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company has in
augurated a series of weekly excur-
sions to Luray, to be run every
Thursday during the months of Ju-
" and August. Excursion tickets
good going only on the special train
on Thursday, but good to return by
any regular train until and including
the Monday following. A trip to the
Natural Bridge of Virginia may also
be included i'll the excursion, as the
limit of the tickets admits of such an
extension, and round trip tickets for
this point may be secured of the
agent at Luray at greatly reduced
rates. This combined excursion forms
one of the most delightful trips OBJ
tainable in this section. Train for
Luray leaves Miffiin at SIS A. NJ,
and round trip tickets will be sold at
$3.50

IRVING ON CHRISTMAS.

zone of the least pleasing effects of
modern refinement is the havoc it has
made among the hearty old holiday GUS
toms. 1t has completely taken off the
sharp touchings and spirited reliefs of
these embellishments of life, and has
worn down society into a more smooth
and polished, but certainly less charac-
teristic surface Many of the games and
ceremonials of Christmas have entirely
disappeared, and like the sherris-sack of
old Falstaff, are become matters of spec
ulation and dispute among commentators.
They hourished in times full of spirit and
lustihood, when men enjoyed life rough
ly, but heartily and vigorously-times
wild and picturesque which have fur
nished poetry with its richest materials,
and the drama with it's most attractive
variety Of characters and manners. The
world has become more worldly. There
is more of dissipation and less of enjoy
ment. Pleasure has expanded into
broader but shallower stream, and has
forsaken many OF those deep ana qulet
channels where it flowed sweetly through
the calm bosom of domestic life. Society
has acquired more enlightened and ele-
CANT tone; but it has lost many of its
strong local peculiarities, its homebred
feelings, its honest Preside delights. The
Evolutionary customs of golden-hearted
antiquity, its feudal Inequalities and
lordly wassailings, have passed away with
the baronial castle and stately manor
houses in which they were celebrated.
They comported with the shadowy hall,
the great oaken gallery, and the tapes
tried parlor, but are untitled to the light
shadowy saloons and gay drawing-rooms

THE BIRDS AGAIN.

The editor of Good Housekeeping, in
an editorial on Mysteries OF Feminine
Feeling" thus takes to task the bird-skin
wearer: "She will bet ON the worst look
ing horse in the race, when she knows
that he will be beaten; and she will wear
birds plumage on her hat, when she
knows the birds are slaughtered express
ly to maintain frivolous fashion. The
killing of birds for millinery purposes is
getting to be serious business; and
women, notwithstanding their fine sensi-
bilities, encourage it. At Cape Cod, for
ty thousand terms have been killed in one
season by single agent of the hat
trade. At Cobb's Island, on the Virginia
coast, an enterprising business woman,
of New York, has succeeded in filling
contract with Paris millinery firm for
forty thousand bird-skins of gulls, sea
swallows and terms, at forty cents apiece.
The demand for egret and heron plumes
has extended the line of slaughter from
Florida all along the Gulf Coast When
the West India Islands were first settled
by Spanish emigrants, they were the
home of myriads of birds of every tropi-
cal variety; but, writes NJ. NJ. Ballou in
his Due South to-day the feathered
beauties and merry songsters have been
entirely driven away from some of the
smaller islands and greatly reduced in
numbers on the others, by the demand
for birds wings with which to deck ladies
hats in Europe and America. In Texas,
sportsmen receive orders from New York
for the plumes of white egrets in lots Of
ten thousand dollars. The prairies and
mountain Wales of the far West are scour-
ed for birds of small sizes and every vari-
ETY. of plumage; and, from the Pacific
Coast, hundreds of thousands of birds
skins are shipped annually. The coast
line of Long Island has been the scene
of indiscriminate butchery of birds by
those who find it lucrative means OF
and the New Jersey coast is
ravaged in the most merciless manner.

hour, Hannah said, "Ive baked an extra |

pace. The children laughed and shouted
"Good-by, pa" and Hannah Barnett went
back into the cottage with heart so full
of gratitude that it broke out into songs
of praise. Little Sarah, the youngest,
child of three years, followed her mother
around like joyous spirit, dancing and
laughing; while the others were busy
building a dollhouse and chatting about
"the beautiful man, mas cousin, with
the great gold watch. and ring on his

Armitage had removed from Iowa to
ST. Louis years before; had become
wealthy, and this season had made some
ventures of buying land and mining in
terests in the south. It was to see to
these, that he had come down early in
December, and his first trip out into the
country had proved the salvation of not
only his cousin and family but of the few
others who were literally left to slow star
walton, in that then desolated region.
The next day. each family was supplied
with necessaries for two months to come,
and as james Armitage never did any,
thing by halves, he afterward arranged
with the commissioners of relief to for
ward all necessary provision, and also
seed for future planting, to the nearest
station, and thus proved himself bene-
factor to the remaining families there.
AS for John and Hannah Barnett,
three weeks later, they spent a joyful
Christmas at Glendale ranch, fine es-
tate, one of the purchases of Mr.. Armi-
tage; he having hired them to take charge
OF it at fair remuner alton, thus insur-
ing them home, and freedom from fu-
ture want.
Sometime they will probably be able
to sell their farm in the burnt district,
which may not be visited again with such
fearful disaster. Meanwhile the Christ
mas festivities are going on in their pleas
ant new home; and we hear John and
Hannah say--"But for Gods help and
good Cousin James, we might never have

PEACE ON EARTH.
BY REV. EDMUND H. SEARS.

1t came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold:
6 Peace on earth, good will to men,
From heavens all-gracious Kingi"
The world in solemn stiffness lay
To hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come,
With peaceful wings unfurled
And still their heavenly music floats
Ger all the weary world.
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on lowering wing;
And ever DER its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
Yet with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long;
Beneath the angels strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong;
And, man at war with man, hears not
The love-song which they bring;
Oh, hush the noise, ye men of strife,
And hear the angels sing.
And We, beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toll along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow
Look nowl for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
Oh, rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing.
For lol the days are Fastening on,
By prophet.bards foretold,
When with the ever-circling years
Comes round the Age of Gold,
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling,
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing.
