About coloring Butter.

If any definition of fraud can be
framed which covers mixtures of ami
NAL fats, butter and dye stuffs, and
does not include a mixture of butter
and dye stuffs, both to be sold as pure
butter, and which does not include also
a dairy commission which condemns
the one and approves the other, we
would like to hear it. From my expe-
rience selling butter from twenty cows,
/ Judge that we can sell pure butter.
If we can not, but have to counterfeit
and are not willing to have its true
character known, let us keep very still
about oleomargarine, and let US ond
our dairy commissioner give the word

We condemn few more points:
l. The supplies were to be purchased
with the capital stock of the Exchange
Yet we have heard Of little or no effort to
place Exchange stock until the present
emerge ncy forced them to 1t.
2 Tne system started out with viola-
ton Of . fundamental principle OF the
Allisnce2 Ths. is, it is based on credit at
both ends. Its legitimate fruit is failure.
3 The managers insugurated the bust
ness, contracted debts, etc., upon . cal
culat!on which they admit failed by over
three months In time. This was an IN.
psrdonable business blundsr, and s6ey
now attempt to shield themselves By
pleading that they were Influenced blythe
necessities of the brethren. =
4 the Exchange hiss only received,
they say, $4,000 working capital. yet
they publish to the world thsf their Sid
up capital May was Sl25. 0o0.~ This
S23. 600, confession gives color to the sus-
picion that s few men were working the
Exchange, and that Whatever 1t made,
whatever donations were msde to 1t, ETC.,
would go to 3 few only; that they did
not want many interested, and thst they
now only attempt to sell stock because 1t
Is absolutely necessary.

IS to condemn it Is bosh. Two banks Of
this city NOW hold this psper; the presi-
dent of another (slso in the wholesale

other bank within our knowledge WAS

if he would accommodate them and take
this psper as collateral; and three other

DueIing in Italy.

Dueling is more common in Italy than in France, but casualties are very rare. The revolver is not popular. For the duel Italians use the sword. This weapon is found to test courage quite as well as the pistol, and to sat- isfy honor with less, or less frequent, bloodshed. Still the government is determined to put down dueling, and the new penal code deals with the sub- ject very fully and very sensibly. There is still in Italy kind of code of honor, and this is to some extent legal ized. The offense is always punisha- ble, but a duel conducted against the laws of dueling is more sharply dealt with. Fine and exile are the punish ments, and the degrees of guilt are carefully and nicely apportioned. The issue of challenge lays the offender open to heavy fine; mere encounter to so much more where it ends in a wound; much more when the wound happens to be dangerous; where there is fatality the survivor is not treated as a murderer. The provision from which most is hoped is certainly the most curious. Any Italian who re- breaches fellow-countryman with not fighting after he has received chal- Ienge is to be heavily fined. The gov ernment recognizes that most duels are fought less from resentment than from vanity or fear of the loss of public esteem.-London Daily Ne,0S.

SMYRNA'S FIG MARKET.
How the Toothsome Fruit is Prepared for
 Shipment.


 Shipment.
 The fig market at Smyrna has an appearance scarcely in accord with the importance of its transactions or the area over which it's goods are ulti- mately distributed. Two narrow, dir ty streets, lined with shanties, are de- voted to the staple industry of the place. It is with figs as other highly prized articles of food, the less we know of the earlier stage of them the greater our comfort in their consump- tion. The sacks are laid out in the open street, and block up the whole thOroughfare but for a narrow passage through which the camels thread their way. Passengers have to scramble along as best they can. The sacks are heaped up two or three strata high. It is arduous work clambering over them. The goat-hair bags make a slippery surface, but if you fall, at least you are not hurt. These sacks, when they are of the full size, weigh about two kintals (say 250 pounds) apiece, and two of them form a camel load. It is curious that you never see more and never see less than the two sacks. Some kind of prescription fixes the burden, quite without regard to the capacity of the bearer. Some of the camels are sturdy beasts, that could easily bear more than five hundred pounds on their backs, while others are weak and weary; the load is al- ways the same. Into these two streets at market time come the Greek mer- chants, who are the middlemen in the fig trade. Indeed, there are many middlemen, and several series of profits are realized before the article reaches the consumer. As rule, the Greeks sell to the packers, who in turn sell to the shippers; though sometimes the shippers buy and pack for themselves. The packing is, perhaps, the most characteristic stage in the whole proc ess. First, there is the resorting, and this duty is trusted to women,

Points in Cheese-Making.

It will pay farmers who do not have good facilities for making butter in hot weather to make cheese. We give the essential points to follow in order to make cheese. There must be tub of some kind for vat, a press and a cheese-hoop in which to press the curd. We remember our mothers little rich cheeses with a real relish, if so many years have elapsed. The milk must be heated to 86 degrees, or near that, and the rennet added. One drachm rennet- inc is enough for 250 pounds of milk. This is a prepared form of rennet. In one hour the curd may be cut into cakes. In half hour heat the curd up to 100 degrees, doing it slowly about an hour. By twelve o'clock draw the whey. When the curd will draw out thread-like it is ready to put into the press. The temperature should be about so degrees. The curd should be ground or chopped fine; add salt II pounds for 25O pounds of milk. A curd may be kept over in cool place from one day to another, in a small dairy, to make enough for ! cheese. The curd ripens or cures while in the whey, and this makes the cheese bet ter. Do not hurry this process. Too much rennet, high-heating and an ex- cess of acidity spoil cheese.-Farm Journal.

A MAINE ECCENTRIC.
He Was a Great Grammarian, and an
 Enemy of Drugs and Doctors.

| He Was a Great Grammarian, and an Enemy of Drugs and Doctors.
 The greatest Maine-born grammari- an once lived at Rumford, just above the great rocks where the water pitches over Rumford Falls. He is said never to have written or spoken a sentence after he was fifteen years old which was not grammatically cor rect. He died about twelve years ago. 1 Many people in Rumford well recollect Thomas Irish, the old-fashioned teach CT in ancient district schOol-houses. Some time before his death Brown, the author of Browns celebrated grammar, spent several days with this great Rumford scholar, listening to the roar of Rumford's falls and absorbing Grammarian Irish's fine points. In one edition of Browns grammar can be tions, etc., edited by Thomas Irish, of Rumford. Like many men of genius he was peculiar chap" as they say.
 If he met you on the street in a dry time of year, he invariably said: ''The sounding of the grinding is low. The pitcher may as well be broken at the fountain. He always had a peculiar dislike for doctors and drugs, and rare ly could be persuaded to take the mild est kind of medicine when he was on the sick bed. Several years before his death he experienced a severe illness. The doctors told him that his life de- pended on his keeping quiet in bed for at least a month. MT. Irish fretted about his potatoes and turnips on a sick bed for about a week, when one day, as the physician called, the pa- tient was not to be found. They hunt ed high and low, and finally found the grammarian hoeing potatoes in the field in his night robe.
 And when the man with the medi- cine chest stepped into his room to ask if he was comfortable he thus saluted him: No more of your nauseating, filthy drugs, sir. If I rally it will be from the bounties of my well-spread table" He partially recovered from his illness, and one day, meeting his old doctor on the street, told him that it was no use, he was worn out, and it was time for him to pass in his checks. The doctor cheered him up as best he could, and said: 70, no, Tom, you're good for two years yet" '.Do you think SOP" asked Mr. Irish. II cer- tainIv do 8 ranliad tho dOctc-- GsWa11 then, suppose you're right, and I'll do as you say," said Thomas Irish, and he drove off whistling Yankee Doodle" Exactly two years from that day he lay on his death-bed, and, looking into his physicians face, said: "You gave me two-years' lease after I thought had given the old ship up, and I've taken it. The two years are ended to-day, and can't stay any longer" And thus this eccentric man died.-LeUiston (Me. Journal.

Turks and Christian working to-

Turks and Christian working to- gether in perfect peace. The sorting done, the fruit is carried to the pullers and the packers. The pulling is not pleasant to think of. The men-for it needs the strength of male fingers in long rows on each side of a tenn porary table made of two boards on trestles. They sit on stools; squatting on the ground has quite gone out now in the towns. Beside each packer stands pile of empty boxes, and near every two or three is placed a large flat basket full of sorted fruit, and be- side the basket can of salt and water. The man chooses the fig he intend to pull, and then, dipping his hand in the salt water, fattens it between his fingers, at the same time splitting it near the stalk. He then places it in the box. Long practice gives great perfection in the art of pulling and packing. You see the fruit distributed in rows so neatly that a knife might be dropped between them without cutting any of the fruit. Nearly all the figs packed for export are pulled" The saltwater brings out the sugar, which, in about three months, comes to the surface, when the fruit is in the best condition for eating.-N '.

New Style in Hospital Building.

A new sort of hospital building is de- scribed in Le Genie CIUit which seems to have many advantages. The prin- cipf of -eoastruction seems to be the formation t an iron shell, to which is attached wooden lining capable of being readily removed and replaced. The lining keeps the room cool in sum- mer and warm in winter, while steam and water pipes can be carried through it, and, by means of ridge ventilator, air can be withdrawn from the room at any desired point by cutting openings into the space between the two shells. After being used for a sufficiently long time, the structure may be taken to pieces, the iron work sprayed with car bolic acid and painted, and the wooden ining-strips disinfected by baking or by washing with carbolic acid or bi- chloride of mercury, after which the whole can be put together again for renewed service. The expense of this complete disinfection is estimated at 5 per cent. on the original cost of the structure, which, in Paris, is about $500 for each bed, for a twelve-bed pavilion, including all the iron work, carpentry, painting and glazing, plumb ing, gas-fitting and steam heating, to- gether with the beds and mattresses.
