RIGHT AND WRONG.
! how eagily thingg I'd wrong,

Alas! how easily things go wrong,
A SIGH too much, a kiss too long,
And there follows mist and sweeping rain,
And life is never the same again.
Alas! how hardly things go right
IT'S hard to watch on q summers night,
For the sigh viii come and the kiss viii stay,
And the summers night is winter day.
And vet how easily things go right
II the sigh and kiss of the winter night
Come deep from the soul in the stronger ray
That is born in the light of the winters day.
And things can never go badly wrong
II the heart be true and the loxe be strong;
For the mist If it comes. and theweeping rain
VIM be changed by love into sunshine again.

played considerable role in Paris in
the earlier part of the season, languishes
at presentin the prison Of Ostend. He had
gone to that resort to enjoy the ocean
breezes, but had lived too extensively
for his revenue. He ran up debt of
1000 francs at the hotel where he was
staying, and was unable to pay it when
the bill was presented. The landlord
required its settlement, but King Marie
declared that he could only give a
promissory note, to be collected when
the taxes in tho land were due. The
obdurate host was not satisfied with this
arrangement, and consequently His
Majesty has issued q proclamation, tell.

Something About the Coming Ruler Of
Spain-COurt Etiquette.

Something About the Coming Ruler Of
Spain-Court Etiquette.
Every body, almost, has heard of the
little King Of Spain, King Alphonso.
This little King is now about three
years old. He lives in . palace. Of
course. and the little fellow has whole
suite of apartments for his use. 4 sol
der keeps guard at his bedroom door
every night.
These apartments arc close to those of
his mother, Queen Christiana.
His nurse is a peasant woman. named
Raymunda. It is her duty to feed him
and to amuse him. But he Is washed
and dressed by number Of ladies,
called Ladies Of Honor.
Once when he was not quite two years
old the Queen, his mother, wanted to
show him to visitor, for she Is proud
of him, as mothers are apt to be. But
when she came to the royal nursery. the
nurse stood in the doorway, and said:
You can not enter, the King sleeps"
And so his mother and the visitor had
to turn back.
The etiquette of the court would not
allow even his mother to 60 in when he
was asleep. by etiquette" is meant,
the rules laid down. 1t may seem II,
you very stupid rule that would not
let mother see her little boy whenever
she pleased. But those are the rules,
and nobody can break over them; and
there are many other rules that the
King has to obey.
One day the little King was lost.
Nobody could find him. They looked
everywhere. Such TODD as there was!
They searched and they liste ned. And
presently his nurse heard kicking in
the cupboard. She ran and opened the
door, and there was the little rogne Of a
King having good time, kicking at the
door.
He had been playing bide-and-scek
with his little sistcr-for he has littlc
elder sister. lie crawled into the cup
board to hide, and the door swung to.
For II door isn't fastened, it is as like
~ to swing to and shut up baby-king,
as a baby-haggar.
Whenever his birthday comes round.
there is a very great birthday party, as
you NIGH, suppose. A dinner is served
in the great hall TO all the grandcst
people in Spain. At one birthday din
ner there were twenty great vases on
the table. good deal bigger than the
King himself filled with the lovelfest
flowers.
On certain days he has to receive the
great men and noble ladies OF Spain and
other countries. Our Minister to Spain
will have to go and do honor to this lit
tie boy-king; and very stupid the little
King finds it, dare say.
The thing he likes best to see is the
changing Of the soldiers on guard. He
watches them from his window, and
claps his hands at their bright uniforms
and waving plumes and shining fire.
arms. For long time Spain has not
been so peaceable as since the little
boy-king was born. Every body feels
kindly toward hiD,.--Margaret Blath-
wayte, in Our Little Men and Women.

It VIII Connect the Clyde with the Forth,
and Cost $4,000. 900.
Toengineering schemes there seems
no end. The Forth bridge and the
Manchester canal, both of which are in
course of construction, are marvels of
the engineers daring and skill. An
other huge project has been under dis
cussion for some time, and will probably
soon reach the stage of actuality. A
canal to connect the Clyde with the
Forth has long been talked Of, but the
Manchester canal undertaking seems to
have given the scheme considerable
impetus into the region of practicable
ty. Altogether three plans have been
mooted-to construct the canal by Loeb
Lomond, to construct 1t by the direct
route, and. finally, to so improve, cx-
tend and deepen the present Forth and
Clyde canal as to make it suitable for
the passage of tho largest vessels. The
third scheme is. of course, the least
expensive. The Caledonian Railway
Company, to whom the Forth and
be willing to dispose of it, and tho
needed improvements have been esti-
mated ut El,5OO, 900 to $4,000, OO0 To
construct new canal by the best posi-
BILE route is said, however, to be the
favorite scheme. The necessary outlay
is estimated at the gigantic sum of e.
GOO, 600, about $500, 600 less than the cost
of the Manchester canal. The traffic
by such 4 route has been estimated at
10000 900 tons the first year, which at
toll Of IS Cd per ton would yield reve-
nue. Of R1,250,O 900. Deducting working

there would remain an enormous bal

aggeration in the above estimates,
would still remain balance sufficient
to pay a handsome dividend. Probably

taking will await the results of the
Manchester canal before proceeding

Notes on tho MIXING Of Cream.

When it is necessary to put the cream
of number Of skimmings together in
order to get bulk enough for achurning
II is said by some that each skimming
should be kept by itself and at different
temperatures, the oldest at the lowest
and the youngest cream at the highest
temperature, in order that they may
ripen together. This strikes US as un.
necessary trouble. While it is true that
cream will not make butter by means o,
tho ordinary churn without previous
ripening, yet it has never been proven
70 the contrary that cream will not thor
onghly ripcn in twelve hours at any tenn.
perature above freezing. 1t is our belief
that cream should be kept below fifty
degrees until ready to churn, and that
the youngest cream should not DO less
than twelve hours old when put in the
churn, especially II 1t came out of deer
cans. II mixed with the older cream II
will assimilate with it and ripen faster.
Therefore, We say, mix it.--American

NATURES METHODS.
n Few Words About tho Separation
Fats from Milk.

n Few Words About the Separation o.
Fats from MIX.
III the butter extractor should bc as
successful as some seem TO anticipate,
will 1t supersede all other methods OF
separating fats from milk? Prol'abl,
not. Nature has her own way Of doing
many things, and these ways are never
entirely superseded by human invention.
For instance, over since men engaged IL
commerce on tho globe, the wind and I, I
water have been prime factors in trans
portation, and IL does not look as II this
natural mode Of conveyance would ever
be dispensed with. Water running down
hill in obedience to the law of grayita-
ton supplies power for prcpclling MA.
chinery that is cheaper than any other
yet discovered, and Is likely to long re-
main source Of mechanical power for
manufacturing purposes. So nature has
her way Of separating the fat from milk
by the gravity process. Put tho warm
milk to rest, and natures law does the
rest of the work without further ex.
penditurc of power or money. As long
as milk Is produced and allowed to stand
quiet, nature will continue her process
of separating fat from 1t. And man,
after having tried all inventions, will
still continue to cream his milk by the
gravity process. The only cost is the
vessel to hold the milk; but, In addition
to the centrifuge or extractor, power
must be applied, and this costs not only
money, but the time of man to run the
machine. Cream rises by gravitation
without the cost of applying power, and
without the presence Of one just as well
as with 1t. Hence, however great may
DO the success OF the butter separator,
the "good old-fashioned way" will still
continue in vogue-just as horses, which
1t was once thought would be driven out
by the locomotive, continue to have
their uses, and are even in greater de
mand than ever before. Gravity cream
separation must forever have its advan.
tages as we'll as its disadvantages. Yet
the use Of machinery will extend in ite
application to the dairy, and man will
find In it satisfactory rccompense.-

THE DAIRY.

We can not help insisting that tho
man who soils heifer calf from good
cow, does very foolish thing.
--Cottonsecd hulls are now known to
be excellent food for young cattle. They
lend tallowy flavor, however, to the
milk and butter Of cows that eat them.
Get q thermometer, that you may
know exactly what the temperature Of
your milk and cream Is. The finger is q
very uncertain thermometer.
The old COW is as fond Of her own
product as any other animal, as Is often
witnessed to the owners loss when she
sucks herself. II fed to her with
proper mixture Of other materials, it is
our belief that skim-milk will make
better return TO the dairyman in this
way than in any other. - American
Dairyman.
Tho dairy interest OF this country is
certainly receiving considerable atten-
ton now, says tho Live Stock Indicator,
and will receive more as the country be-
comes moro closely settled up. The
probabilities are that America, in the
near future. will take commanding
position in dairy products.
I'm a recent lecture an English dairy
man said: 'Under the modern system OF
management, certain quantity Of milk
ought to be produced throughout each
month in the year, and cows should calve
at all times. Calves reared between tho
first Of November and the end Of Febru-
ary generally make the best progress.
Always have lock Of nice hay or
lick Of meal in the mangcr, each night
and morning, for the cows, and there
will be no need of sending dog or tired
and cross hired man after them. They
will be on hand at milking time, ready
TO hurry into their places, and they will
express their satisfaction by increasing
the contents Of the pail.-Michigan Far
mcr.
Simply washing the dairy utensils
is not sufficient. They must be scalded.
washed in warm water (using soda in
water), scrubbed and then rinsed. A
single particle Of matter adhering to .
milk-pan may serve as ferment to In
iure the milk. Even the hands should
be washed before handling tho vessels,
and every precantion taken to observe
cleanliness.
The quality OF milk can not be fixed
by law. The milk from some cows will
contain lower percentage Of solid mat
ter than others. Il is even impossible
to obtain the same quality OF milk from
one COW. Her food, duration Of milking
period, facilities for obtaining wateS and
manner Of being MIXED influence the
quality. The milk of cows from young
grass will vary greatly from that pro-
duced from ground grain.
A new process Of butt-r-making Is
reported from Australia. Air Is intro
duced into the cream in the churn
through an intermediate vessel. in
which Is stored water and harmless
solution, which purifies the air and
otherwise renders it suitable for produc-
ing the desired effect upon the cream.
The air-pipe opens into the churn near
the bottom, through which tho gases are
driven out. The butter runs to the top
Of the churn, and tho buttermilk is run
of from . tap at the bottom. The pro-
cess lasts from twenty minutes to forty
or sixty minutes, according to the con.
ditioL of the cream ard other circum.
stances
