BARNEs.-Elizabeth Lydia Barnes was born
in Seneca Falls, N. T., March 9Th, '3S, she
died in Napoleon, o., March 18th, 80, aged 50
years and II days. Her parents names were
John and Sallie Orcutt. She was united in
marriage with Mr.. o. E. Barnes Sept. q, 80,
who survives her. She was received with full
connection in the M. e. church July 10th,
'62, and continued faithful and devoted
member of the same until summoned to join
the church triumphant. Her constant testi-
mony was that her christian life was a wa--
fare, but her peaceful death showed that
through Christ she had more than conquered.
While subject to weaknesses, as all mortals
are, she was possessed of many noble traits
of character. She vas generous. forgiying,
self sacrificing and true; she was attentive to
her home duties and to the needs Of her fami-
fy. In this respect king Lemuel would have
found a world in her. "She looksth we'll to
the ways of her household, and eateth not
the bread Of idleness; her children arise
up and call her blessed; her husband also and
he praiseth her," Her lsstillness was brief
but severe; but death coming suddenly found
her ready, her last hours were such as all
may covet. During the long evening hours
of her last earthly day she called 70 those
standing by to pray, when asked if willing to
go If Jesus called her, she answered, "yes,
yes;" she spole frequently aboat ''resting in
Jesus" and when alone she sang and all that
loving ears could distinctly catch were these
words, "He keeps me, He keeps me;" death
came peacefully and heavens portals silently
opened torsceive another trophy Of calvarys
redesmink Sblood. Relatives and friends
sorrow that they shall see her face no more
ON earth, but they are sure that their loss is
her gam. T. II. G.

THE DAIRY.

A spaycd cow gives about fifty per
cent more milk than she would If not
spayed, and is less liable to disease.
Making buttermilk favored butter
is easily stopped by washing the butter
while in small grains. A little salt In
the water will do no harm.
One of our subscribers tried pea
vine hay last year for his cows. and
writes that he likes it. He has saved
more this year. Pea vines nicely dried
or pea meal are first rate for cows
Western Rural.
Most people like to have things a
little better than their neighbors, 1t is
often foolish spirit Of rivalry. There
Is no objection, however, to making
better butter than our neighbor does.
Those whose cows all ''came in
last spring will soon find that the
dollar will not .'come out" SO freely as il
ought to when butter and milk are high
because then the yield of the cows will
be at the lowest.
Milk set in milk pans in pantry
at q temperature Of sixty to sixty-five
degrees will raise more cream and but

temperature OF fifty-six degrees, says J.

SHOOTING STARS.

How They Travel Toward the Earth and
Perish In Streaks Of SplendOr.
A small body, perhaps as large as
paving stone or larger, more often per-
haps not SO large as marble, is moving
resolves in an ellipse, SO this small OBJ
iect will move round and round in an
ellipse, with the sun in the focus. There
are at the present moment uncomfortable
myriads of such meteors moving in this
manner. They are too small and too
distant for our telescopes, and we can
never see them except under extraOr-
binary circumstances. At the time we
see the meteor it is usually moving with
enormous velocity, SO that it often trav-
erses distance of more than twenty
miles in second Of time. Such We
locity is almost impossible near the
earth's surface; the resistance of the air
would prevent it.
Aloft, in the emptiness of space, there
is no air to resist the meteor. 1t may
have been moving round and round the
sun for thousands, perhaps for millions
of years, without let or hindrance; but
the supreme moment arrives and the
meteor perishes in streak of splendor.
In the course Of its wanderings the body
comes near the earth, and within few
hundred miles of its surface, of course,
begins to encounter the upper surface
of the atmosphere with which the earth
is inclosed. To body moving with the
appalling velocity of meteor plunge
into the atmosphere is usually fatal.
As tho meteor rushes through the at
mosphere the friction Of the air warns
it's surface; it becomes red hot, then
white hot, and is finally driven of into
vapor with brilliant light, while we
on earth, one hundred or two hundred
miles below, exclaim, 20, look, there IL
, shooting star!"-Albany Journal

One Rarely Sees . spirit Of Real DtscOn-

Passing over private servants, such as
scullery maids, washerwomen, pages,
footmen, grooms and coachmen, we
come to two public servants. who surely
are most useful. The first is the dents
mann He is to be found in red cap and
blue blouse standing at the street cor
ner and waiting for patronage. Do you
want package sent or called for, do
you want some one to gather up your
bundles in shopping as you go along, do
you want to send bouquet, card, a
message, here is your man. He gives
you receipt with his number, SO that
in case there is any fault-finding, the
chief bureau can be consulted, and the
mistake, if possible, will be rectified.
In the country, the besenfrau answers
to much the same demands. Early in

sorts. trudges of to the market town, re-
tnrning later in the day with huge
basket on her back.
The very national Teutonie trait of
dependence on something, be it family,
university. army, throne or what-not, as
opposed to our higher notion Of COM
piete indie pendence, makes Of the Ger
man servants a better article, SO to
speak, than were they allowed too much
liberty, along with many Elusive and
delusive dreams of speedy emancipation.
True, when long serving some one fam

they become an integral part Of that
family. as perhaps nowhere else save in
England. 1t is rarely, however, even
in the sight of father and son, mother
and daughter in the same service, or
rather. one family adapting itself to the
wants Of anothe and always expecting
to continue in that service, that one
sees a spirit of real discomfort. While
we may we'll congratulate ourselves that
in free America there is far greater
chance for man to rise in the social
scale, in wealth, in reputation than
here. one may not fail to give the Ger

his service, not as in any way degrad-
ing thing. but as an honorable calling;

A Noble Revenge.

De Quincy gives a beautiful
anecdote, illustrative ofthe nobility
of a generous hear:.
An officer in the army one day
struck a common soldier. He was
young and hot tempered; and he
forgot the respect due to himself,
and the duty he owed his neighbor.
The soldier whom he struck
was young man too. and nored
for his courage; he felt the insult
deeply. Military discipline for
lsale that he should return the
blow; he could only use words.
Perhaps he was hot tempered, alSo,
for he said to the officer
IL will make you repent it!'
So they were i'll friends.
One day in The heat of Il furious
engagement, the young soldier
saw an officer WHO was wounded
and separated from his company
gallan,ly striving to force his way
through the enemies who sur.
rounded him. He recognized his
insulter and without q second
thought rushed to his assistance.
Supporting the wounded man with
his arm, together they fought
their way through their own lines.
Trembling with emotion. the
officer grasped the hand of the
'ldier, and Stammered out his
gratitude.
"Noble man! What a return for
an insult so wantonly given!"
Tile young man pressed his
hand in turn, and with IL smile
said gently
u told you l would make you
repent IT,"
From that time they were as
brothers.

Henry Clay ON the Goat.

The following anecdote of Henry
Clay has Just been published for
the first time: AS he came out Of
the Capitol at Washington one
day, seeing a frightened woman in
the street striving to ward off the
attacks of Il sportive goat, he gal
lanrly, in spite of his years and of.
flee, seized The goat by the horns.
Tile woman thanked llm and sped
hurric1ly on. Mr.. Clay wonld have
liked to move on also, hut the goat
had its own views abont the inter
ference with his innocent amuse
mpnt. AS soon as the woman'S
deliverer lnosed his hold on the
two horns, the animal rose maj eS-
tically on its hind legs Edprepared
for charge. In his own defense
Mr.. Clay now took the animal as
before by the horns and thus for a
time they stood, while a crowd Of
street boys gathered about. lmme-
diately amused at the unusual spec
t; Gle of Il senator and u goat pitted
one against the other in a public
street. As long as MIR. Clay held
the goat 10y the horns, all was well;
but he moment the quadruped
was free, came Il fresh preparation
tor charge. Not Il boy offered
assistance, but after while one
ventuled forward to make Il sug-
geSlion.
"ThIow the billy down. sir"
Mr.. Clay at once accepted and
adopted the report Of that commit
Tee, and tipping the goat up cs-
saved to pass on. Before he could
fairly turn away, however, the goat
was mp in lofty preparation for a
new charge. Mr.. Clay gave his
rnemy the floor once more and
termed to his new advisor.
