Richness of Milk.

The richest milk is not always that
which contains the greatest proportion of
cream. Cream is largely composed of
carbonaceous matter, which is derived on
the farm at but little cost, while the skim
milk contains the nitrogen, phosphates,
and mineral matter. A farmer may ship
cream from his farm daily, without i'm
poverishing his land, but if he should
retain his cream and sell his skim milk he
would gradually and surely deprive his
soil of its elements of fertility. AS food,
skim-milk. is nearly complete and will sup
port life, but though cream may create
warmth and supply nourishment for
short while. yet, with its use alone, the
body would waste away, and the result be
death.
Taking commercial view of the mat
ter, and estimating the value of the ele-
ments that compose cream and skim milk,
the former possesses but little real value
in nutrition. while the later performs val
liable service in many ways. We are not
denying the fact that cream is worth more
than skim-milk in the market, but it re-
ally is a cheaply produced article. The
cow that gives large quantity of milk,
which may be poor in cream so far as
cream is concerned, may nevertheless be
much more serviceable than one that
gives what is termed rich milk, as the
cream is easily obtained compared with
the solids!of the skim-milk. True, COW
may give large amount of cream, and at
the same time yield milk rich in caseine,
but this is not always the case. Though
the farmer can secure high price for his
cream, our object is to urge the import

The question of box-rents is also
subject Of agitation and will receive at
tention during the convention. They
assert that under the present law a
postmaster Of the fourth class is de-
barred from receiving greater COM
pensation than 1000 a year, while
those of the third class are cut off at
$1,000 They may invest all the way
from $500 to 81 900 in beautiful boxes
and other attractive features, yet
if, for example, a postmaster of
the fourth class is entitled to $3.50 per
annum on his cancellation of stamps,
he is debarred from receiving more
than $50 from his box rents, even
though they may amount to $500, and
the entire surplus must be turned over
to the Government. Considering the
fact that the boxes are the private prop
erty of the postmaster, they feel that
the United States has no moral or just
right to the revenue from them in the
way of rents, and they want the law SO
amended that they will receive what
ever income there may be from that
source.
There is no question but that the
postmasters have just cause for com.

Sun-Glows in Sweden.

Toward the end of October the re-
markable sun-glows were again seen at
Stockholm. In the western horizon a
yellow cloud-bank, strongly illuminat-
ed, appeared behind number of tiny
clouds, grayish in color, the sky above
the former. to a height of forty-five de-
grees, being lurid, entirely coloring
the clouds. Later on in the evening
the glow impaired to the edges of the
clouds the most remarkable reflections
of color, varying from ochre TO yellow,
violet and pink, with standings of blue.
At times the higher-lying clouds formed
most remarkable formations. II
seemed that the glow was situated be-
tween cumulus and cirrus clouds. -M

Their Alleged Grievances, and the Rem
edies They Propose-A Non-Partisan
Movement
The postmasters of the third and
fourth class have resolved upon Ma
tional Convention, and have issued
their call to convene in Chicago on
Monday, February Is, 1886. As there
are over seventeen hundred of the third
grade, and almost fifty thousand of the
fourth, it is evident that when they get
fully organized they will become a
power In the land. Their movement
is not of political nature, but solely
for the purpose of inducing Congress
to grant them relief in the way of ex-
penses for rent, light, fuel and clerk
hire. As their salaries are based en-
tirely upon the value of the stamps
cancelled, getting a commission upon
them, of course their income instantly
dropped one-third when letter postage
was reduced from three to two cents.
Their revenues were cut off while their
expenses remained the same. all of
which they have to bear themselves.
They feel sore that while postmasters
of the second class have everything
furnished them by the Government,
they are compelled to foot all such bills
out of their own pockets. A post
master of the third class may be rated
as having an income of one thousand
six hundred dollars, which of itself
looks very large to those not in office,
but after he pays his rent, light and
fuel expenses and his clerk hire, these
figures viii have become dissolved in
nothingness, and he will have but a
bare living out of his years work.
The issuing of money orders at three
and one-hslf cents each is also a bitter
cause of complaint They claim that
it does not begin to pay for the time
and labor involved in transacting the
business. and that the old law giving
them one-third the fees charged the
public should be restored. They also
propose to make a move toward having

THE FOUNDATION.
The Most Important Quality to BE Devel-

The Most Important Quality to BE Devel-
oped In a Child's Mind.
If the question were asked by any
mother of thought and character:
What do you consider the most import
ant quality to be developed in your
child's mindps The answer, without
doubt, would be: Truth; for the corner
stone Of character is truth, and there
can be no true success without it,
Electricity can not follow broken
wire, nor success q lying life" With
out truth there is no development And
how many ways there are of proving,
without speaking, that absolute truth is
essential in the first steps baby takes
toward learning! Give him a box of
5blocks to build a house, and you can
show him that unless the first blocks
laid on the floor are in line the whole
structure will be crooked; that in MAX
ing the lines on slate, if the first is not
straight, not true, the lines will all fol-
low the first, or the spaces will not be
very true; that in copying any work
exactness is the very foundation of sue
cess, and but another name for truth.
In repeating conversation, in telling
of scene, to watch carefully that the
actual fact is related, is described as a
mothers duty.
So often a grave fault is over
looked because it is a child, and it
is a pleasant fiction that the child will
outgrow it. Any fault that indicates a
weakness of character should receive
immediate and prayerful care An ex-
aggeration. however amusing, should
be checked at once. Carelessness in
giving accounts of its own or its play
mates doings should be checked by
questions so put that child will dis
cover, if it is earelessness, that a mis-
take has been made, and correct ii at
once itself; if the trouble is a want of
love of truth. the knowledge that false
hood is always recognized as falsehood,
whether intended or not, will help to
develop regard for truth and exact
ness.
Another great requisite for teaching
a child to regard truth is for the par
ents to set an example of perfect truth
fulness. In all the Intercourse of life:
in the home, the social life, the business
life, let truth in all purity be ever pres
ent, and the children will by instinct
and principle follow the example that
commands their love and respect
