L Cough Preventing School.

A physicians advice, not to
cough when You want to cough,
now being circulated i'll the news
papers, is believed TO be sound BY
some who have tried it. Nh Clark
Bell, a llwyer and president OF the
Medico Legal society of this city,
has had some experience in sup.
pressing the tendency to cough,
which it is interesting to hear him
relate. He had Il constant irrita-
ton in the throat and cough
Somebody told him of a teacher in
the art of"how not to cough when
YOU want to-" and to that teacher
Mir. Bell HE'D without delay. Sure
enough, pupils, with all brands OF
coughs attached to them, were
there to learn how to lay their
bronchial burdens down. Most OF
them were men in the serious and
learned professions and pursuits OF
lie, and they acted like awkward
shamefaced schoolboys, knowing
that they they were there to learn
so foolish, il not downright impos
sihle. a thing as getting the whip
hand ofil cough without medicine
Still. there were stories OF others
who had learned it, and these
we're the days Of learning and do
ing new things, so they held them
selves in readiness 20 make rapid
progress.

Faint Praise.

The "hnt'Sn and "iFs" of faint
praise are the cOmmonest and most
misclievous of qualifying words.
To the former how many reputa-
tions have fallen sacrifice-to the.
latter what wrecked possibilities
ard unqnencliable remorscs are
anchored. We turn with suspi-i
cion from the eulogizer who inter

covert weapons! Ii we are to be

blow. We scorn the commander
who tips the shaft Of his praise
with poisonous 'bnts' and 'ifS.'
These are the qualifications that
blast more characters than all bold
open falsclood. Uttered in tones
of patronizing sympathy they are
like the tigers paw, all velvet to
the seeming, but all death to the
touching. Our :irst impulse is
generally kindly, compassionate,

Making Fine Butter.

Much Of the excellence of butte
depends on the sailing. and while
butter that for any reason is reaII,
inferior can not be raised to {
grade Of excellence by the Sailing
that which otherwise might bt
classed us good is often reduced tt
an inferior grade by the manner in
Which it is treated at the time Of
sailing. A good deal of butter is
churned to death; that is, the
chnrning is continued TO gather
the butter so long after the butter
has separated from the milk that If
is pounded into q creamy, pasty
condition, exactly the opposite OF
what it should be.
A piece of really good butter,
properly sailed, when cut apart
with Il bright, sharp knife, should
show two clean cut, smooth and
slightly moist surfaces, without any
siginof MASKING down Of the but
ter particles, and rome of them
should be found adhering in IA
sticky mass to the knife. Whom i.
knife is drawn through q piece OF
butter and comes out in such y con
ition that the blade cannot be
seen, no expert is needed TO de-
fnrn1iI,a itS nIi.i)ity
The two methods row in vogue
for sailing butter are termed briue
salting anil dry sailing each of
which has it's advocates. The. for
;lner consists in making the salt in
'r0sa solutionsbeforei IS used. and
in the latter the solution is made
by adding dry salt to the watertha
remains in the butter after most of
the buttermilll has been worked
out. So far as the result is con-
cerncd the object ofeach plan isto
surround the grains of butter with
brine, until enough of the solution
is absorbed to make them palata
BILE. AS the butter itself contains
about - per cent. of water, that

in brine sailing, otherwise the salt
ing will be too light. On the 9TH
er hand, if more dry salt is used
than the water III the butter will
turn Into a solution, the dry sailing
will he in excess and be shown liz
particles of salt undlSSolved.
To get the best results from any
kind Of Sailing the churning should
stop when the butter has fairly
granulated and before 1t has been
beaten to a salty condition by the
process of gathering. At this stage
the buttermilk should be drawn off
and The butter be washed with
cold, weak brine until it runs off
