The whipping Post in EaElIsh Colleges.
The London correspondent OF the Independence
Beige gives an interesting history OF the whip
ping blocks In English colleges and schools
The recent discovery OF the old hoRRing post
OF Eton. bearing the date OF 177S. has Afforded
him the material for his extraordinary story.
About twenty-seven years ago this old block
was taken out Of the college one night and
concealed In Rranary belonging to q former
Eton graduate residing In GlamorRan-
shire. Its mysterious disappearance Gre
atod some commotion among the pro-
fessors. and long and unsuccessful
search was made for the precious relic
But 1t appears that there were two whipping
posts In EtoD. and probably the one Just dis
covered was retired from active service on
account OF It's historic associations; for In 1885
tho famous Marquis OF Waterford. who was
then y student In Eton. carried on the post

purest and best salt 10 be obtained for
the purpose, as the best is none too
good. A small amount saved on a
hundred pounds of salt is of little con-
sequence if it proves in any manner to
be inferior and thus Injuries the quail
ity of the butter Get the best kind
and then continue to use il rather than
experiment with other brands or
grades. Get the best tubs. The out
side appearance OF the packages has
some influence on the sale of the con-
tents, as a dealer would not be likely
to look for fine quality of butter In
an inferior looking tub cutie as soon
as in clean No l package. Better
pay five or ten cents extra for the
right kind OF a package rather than
take poor one as a gilt. There is
good deal of difference in the quality
of the timber from which the tubs are
made. The firm-grained kind that will
not become brine-soaked and smeared
before reaching market is what will
give the best satisfaction.
A word about marketing the pro-
duct: OF course every farmer that
makes his own butter should endeayor
to secure as good market for it as
possible. Whether he can do best by
selling at home, sending it to the COM
mission men in the cities or by looking
up some special customer TO whom he
can send direct will be for him to de-
seem to be best in the end. that is to
have no stated market, but selling
first to one and then to another,
wherever for the time the best price
may be obtained. Perhaps for a few
weeks or months, If there is some COM
petition. he may get little more
money, but ii will be at the expense
of finding a steady market and obtain
ing reputation for his product, which
is very desirable in the course ofyears.
Usually the dairymen who succeed
best are those who have obtained a
good reputation for their butter in the
market, and which is of such quality
as to command satisfactory price
year after year. Some say that such
a course as this is not progress. but we
believe there may be too frequent
changes to be of real benefit TO those
making them, and it is well TO remem-
Der the old adage Look before you
leap."-St Adams Messenger.

How He Satisfies the Lady Who Doesnr
Want Faithful Likeness.

Want a Faithful Likeness.
If you want to see some OF the vani-
ties of life just pass a week in q pho
tographer's gallery. A photographer
talking recently said: The bulk of
our patrons are of the class OF hand
some people is a common belief, i
guess, but not correct one Ofcourse.
pretty women of a certain class get an
enormous number of pictures taken,
which they use as some people do their
cards, TO give away to almost every
body. But a large number of orders
come from persons who are positively
homely. Photographers rarely do a
pretty face full justice; We can't flatter
nature without spelling its effect en-
tirely. But we can help out a homely
person admirably; and the shrewd
photographer doesn't neglect to do it
in every way possible l have seen
commonplace-looking women go into
ecstacies over pictures of themselves.
The painter who can use the modifica-
tions of light and shade in color has a
big advantage over us. but We have
pretty well balanced things by touch
ing up photographs in water colors.
It's wonderful what exalted opinions
some people have of their personal
appearance. / have some in here
VINO have been dealing with me
for a quarter of a century, and they
expect that their pictures to-day shall
show as attr2ctively as those of de-
cades ago. One lady ordered large
picture of herself twelve years ago.
She was then a blooming maiden,
with round cherub face and very good
looking. For some reason she never
called for her picture and / hung it up
in my collection. Last week the same
lady came in to sit for her picture. i
recognized her directly, for a photo
grapher rarely forgets faces. She
had grown quite old-looking and be-
hind her toddled a couple of little
ones. / showed her negative, but
she scorned the insinuations OF the
faithful camera that she looked so old
and careworn. | remembered her
picture on the wall and persuaded her
to let me finish one of the impressions.
Reluctantly she consented. and went
away with palpable frown of disgust
on her countenance. When she called
again i showed her the picture of
twelve years ago. She was delighted,
and it did me good to see the happy
smile of satisfaction on her face. |

A BACHELORS LAMENT.

He Comments OF the Want of Punctuality
in the FAIR Sex.
have read an anecdote that runs
something like this: A distinguished
lawyer, observing that his wife always
DELAYED ten or twelve minutes before
she came down to dinner, and being
10th to lose so much precious time
daily, commenced the composition of
a work, which he prosecuted only
while he was thus kept waiting. The
result was, at the end of fifteen years.
a book in three volumes quarto. which
has met with a large sale and is much
esteemed. The anecdote is told as an
illustration of the value of time, and
to show how much might be made of
the very crumbs and parings of this
valuable commodity. But have al
ways regarded it in a different light
I To my mind it stands up as an over
whelming reproach of the fair sex, for
the troubles with which they visit us
through their thoughtlessness respect
ing time. Three quarto volumes
of sound law-as it probably was
written in fifteen years. during the
various quarters of hours which mad
am spent in superfiuous labors upon
her dress! In what a strong light
does this place the frivolity and
non-punctuality of the one sex against
) the patience and assiduity of the other!
1t appears to me that it is woman's
chief study to be late. The trial of
mans patience is with them matter
of the incest calculation. 1t is not
that, for mere sport, they like to see
4 how long an unfortunate husband will
wait, greatcoated and HATED, while
they are adjusting their bonnet strings;
it is not that they take a wicked pleas
ure in causing the poor mans dinner
to cool and spoil, before they will con-
slider themselves ready to come down
to partake of it; it is not for these
reasons that they keep the robuster
Sex dangling. 1t is only for the pur-
pose of trying their consequence with
the hapless lords of creation. 1t would
be most unwomanish to be ready to
go out exactly at the same moment
with ones husband. He would not
know he had a wife, if she were to
study his convenience so far.
As for the troubles which sisters and
daughters infiict, it is all one thing.
The creatures are only trying on
brother or father the powers which
they are ultimately to exercise in full
vigor on husband. The ''natur' OF the
