The fatty matter floats to the top, and
the dirt goes to the bottom. The but
ter is then put into jar filled with
cold water and beaten clear. While in
this jar it absorbs certain amount OF
water, and to get rid of this it is taken
out and beaten again. By this print
tive process only about ten or twelve
per cent. of the butter can be saved.
What the nssives would do without
it, it is hard to conceive. 1t practical
ly serves them as food, medicine and
raiment Gin the sense that they oil
their skins with it,. They eat it in
the same way as we do ordinary but
ter, and mixed with an animal fat, it
is considered a panacea against all
evils and diseases. 1t is also employed
for lighting purposes, and the smoke
which is produced by its combustion 2
said to be very efficacious in the Cure
of snake-bites. 1t is also largely used
for soap-making; for this latter pur-
pose it has more than once been intro
duced to European manufacturers,
but up to the present has
never been utilized on an eX-
tensive scale. No doubt, as the
resources of. the country are further
developed, and INSTRUMENTATION
between the inland and the coast be-
comes more facilitated, we shall find
this as we'll as other products equally
valuable, make their way to this mar
ket.
The Indian representative of the
family, the BdssiG IdtJoJia, is very
abundant in all parts of India, and the
butter expressed from the seed is used
in much the same way by the native
Indians as that of the BGsSja ParEii is
by the West Africans, whilst the fruit
in many parts forms staple article of
food. Every part of the tree, in fact,
is of use; the timber being hard and
strong, close and even-grained, is
used for the wheels of carriages, rail
way sleepers. etc. The flowers when
dried have somewhat the odor and APP
pearance of sultana raisins. They are
produced in enormous quantities in
March and April, after the old leaves
have fallen; and before the new leaves
have appeared, the crop rarely fails.
The heshy flowers fall off and cover
the ground beneath the trees, and are
gathered eagerly by the natives every
during the Towering season.
A single tree yields from two to four
hundred poundsweight of flowers.
They are very rich in sugar, and yield
when fermented a large quantity of
spirit, as much as GIG gallons of
proof spirit per hundredweight hav-
ing been obtained from them.
The spirit is manufactured to great
extent in India, and it is said that the
government receives quite a large
amount for duty on the spirits dis
titled.
The flowers have from time to time
been placed before important distillers
in England; but owing to peculiar
flavor being developed-caused. it is
thought by the persistent stamens,
which it is difficult to remove from the
flowers-the spirit distilled has never
been brought into consumption in the
British market. -Chambers Journal

Incrustation of Steam Boilers.

The incrustation of steam-boilers has
always been a matter of pressing i'm
portance to engineers, and many rem
edies have been proposed to obviate
what is not only an inconvenience but
often a source of danger. The incrus-
tation is due to the mineral matter,
chiefly lime, which is contained in all
hard waters, and which is deposited
on boiling, as we can see by looking
into any kettle that has been use for
even a short time. A simple remedy
has been tried by an Italian engineer,
Col Potto, and it is said with complete
success, in a boiler of twenty horse
power, containing one hundred and
twenty-six tubes. He introduced into
the boiler every week two kilos (about
four and quarter pounds) of sugar,
with the result, that after four
months continuous working, only
very thin film of incrustation was
formed, and this was easily removed
by simple washing. Without the
treatment with sugar, the same boiler
had previously become incrusted in
period of six weeks. The method has
the merit of simplicity and cheapness,
and many will therefore be disposed to
test its efficacy Journal,

Your Daughters Should Go
to School.

Bossier Parish contains many girls
and young ladies who are worthy of
the best advantages; their good quail
tiles should be brought out and de-
veloped by the best schools, and now
is the time to look into this matter
Where can you find such a school !?
If you will write to Prof. Eugene
Miller, of Shreveport, La, you will
find that he is conducting a first class
Boarding School for girls and young
ladies. Everything about the school
is strictly first class. teachers from
the best colleges in America and
Europe, good buildings, good board,
and every attention is paid to
thoroughness Music and Art are
taught by competentteac French
and German are spoken in the class
room, and every other department
necessary for a good education is
CARRIED to a high standard. The
school is chartered under the laws of
the State, and has met with remarka-
able success. During lastyear, which
was its second year of existence, 1874
pupils were matriculated, and each
year the buildings occupied by the
school have grown too small, and
more extensive quarters were neees-
sary.
Shreveport is your business point,
and is more accessible than any other
point. 1t is just the place for good
school, and just the place to suit the
convenience of Bossier people. You
can see your daughters frequently,
and in measure, look into the prog
ress they are making. The school
will occupy next year both of the we'll
known Battle Houses, situated on
Edwards street.
If you have daughters TO educate,
be sure you send to Prof Miller for
catalogue before you make your ar
engagements to send elsewhere. The
terms are reasonable, and you will
doubtless be better satisfied with this
school than you have ever been with
any other. tits worth enquiring into
at any rate; get the best that is in your
power and you will never regret il.
Don't wait, but attend to this i'm.
portant matter as soon as possible.
