Deeds of Rlood-The Place of Public
Execution-The CaI1ous Burman.
But all Mandalay is connected with tales
Of blood. The trained elephants that are
forced to knead prisoners to death, the hired
executioner who murderously bludgeons the
vertebrae of distinguished offenders, and the
crucifier have all given to spots in and
around Mandalay reputation at which it is
impossible not to shudder The writer has
known Europeans who in amorning ride had
seen three men crucified in the public
thoroushfares, and Burmese men and women
so accustomed to deeds of bloodshed that
they stood around the sufferers on the cross
and heard them cry for water, for PHYS
sake, without moving helping hand.
One morning while riding on the north
western outskirts of the city. the writer OBJ
served a peculiar artificial bill above which
vultures and kites were wheeling with that
inimitable graceful ease which makes them
appear to float through the blue empyrean
without the Earring movement of a pinion.
That, said my companion, an official at
the British residency, lis our Golgotha, orr
place of skulls; or, if you wish it, our Acel-
DANA and field of blood Here is where pub
lie executions take place. Here common
culprits are beheaded or tortured; here
women of royal blood are bludgeoned to
death across the throat, and men of equally
distinguished birth are bludgeoned across the
neck until death ends their sufferings Vul-
lures and kites hover over this hill as regu-
larry, expectantly, and leisurely as their
brethren watch the grim Parsee towers of
silence In Bombay. Nobody can tell what a
day may bring forth upon this wretched lit
tie hill
Nimporte, let us ride on We have much
to do yet, and | think see in the distance
the flashing of some official umbrella to
which do not care to bow the idolatrous
knee" 1t is peculiar trait of your true
Bufman that, though personally he is a kind
hearted son to his parents or father to his
family, yet he is almost entirely callous
where public executions are concerned. Per-
maps these are so numerous that custom has
made an easy mind, and familiarity bred
contempt At all events, the typical Bur-
mese goes through life easily; his song
"ehe sara sara" a what will be will be, and
the frequent stories of the atrocities of
Alompra, or of Tharawaddy, are so familiar
that even the deeds of Theebaw do not ser
lously disturb his equanimity. Foreign

A DROP OF INK.


A drop of ink. with aid of pen,
Has saved the lives Of many men,
And when it's used in joyous mood
How often cheered dull solitude.
With it. though many miles may sever.
Fond, loving hearts commune together,
And printers. through its constant use,
To countless thousands spread the news.
The bashful lover with it proves
To gentle maid how much he loves.
How of, we turn with honest joy
To letters from our distant boy
In loving tie from daughter dear
Ink tells the words we cannot hear.
Its constant use in verse and prose
Proelalms our faith, orr virtue shows
NJ ethinks the world, without its aid
WoHld drop back many long decade.
The banks may break, the great may die,
Ink never fails, it cannot dye.
In solid phalan firm and bold,
The naked truth in black is told
And If of me You never think.

SEVEN POINTS IN MILK SETTING.-1. To
make the finest favored and longest keep
ing butter, the cream must undergo
ripening process by exposure to the oxy-
gen of the air while it is rising. The
ripening is very tardy when the tempera-
ture is low.
2. After cream becomes sour the more
ripening the more it depreciates. The'soon-
er it is then skinned and churned the
better, but it should not be churned while
too new. The best time for skimming and
churning is just before acidity becomes ap-
parent.
8. Cream makes better butter to rise in
| cold air than to rise in cold water, but 1T
| will rise sooner in cold water, and the milk
will keep sweet longer.
| 4. The deeper milk is set the less air.
ing the cream gets while rising.
The depth of setting should vary with
the temperature; the lower it is the deep
er milk may be set; the higher, the shall
lower it should be. Milk should never be
set shallow n low temperature, nor deep
in high one. Setting deep in cold wat
6. While milk is standing for cream to
rise. the purity of the cream, and conse-
quently the fine flavor and keeping of the
butter, will be injured if the surface OF the
cream is exposed freely to air much
warmer than the cream.
| 7. When cream is colder than the sur
rounding air, it takes up moisture and i'm
purities from the air. When the air is
colder than the cream, it takes up mois-
ture and whatever escapes from the cream.
In the former case the cream purifies the
surrounding air; in the latter case the all
helps to purify the cream. The selection
of dreamer should hinge on what is most
desired-highest quality or greatest con,
venience and economy in time, space and
labor.-Prof. Arnold.

WHITE SLAvEs.-It may be estimated
that over sixty thousand persons are ''out''
in this country on strikes or because of
trouble with employers. The large ma
jority of them are on the other side Of the
Potomac, where the anti slavery ceiling
once made itself great force in morals and
politics. But if this feeling was sincere; if
it was ready to make sacrifices for the black
people of the South why is it not ready to
make some concessions to the white people
who work in mills, or mines, or furnaces, or
factories Of wooden or cotton goods, aDd the
like? If the capitalists of the North will
revive some of the sentiment expended over
black slaves (when there were such) for the
benefit of white slaves the whole trouble
can be adjusted, and we are waiting for
some of the crusaders who survive TO lift
up their voices in favor of the white slaves
of New England who are ground down by
corporations.-NorfoM Landmark.
