Frat Principles In Butter Making.

Batter is flushed IN the dairy and not
made there, says the Rural Ksnssn. The
stamp Of the dairy woman puts the gold in
the market form, but the work must be
commenced in the field or in the feeding
stables; and this leads at once to the con
alteration Of feeding for butter. During
the early, sunny summer months, when
nature Is profuse OF favors, there is little
to be done beyond accepting her bounty,
The tender grasses are full OF the needed
nutriment, and they afford the constant
supply OF moisture without which the Sc
erection OF milk is greatly lessened. Yet
this season, as well as others, q pure sup
ply is absolutely necessary. II does not

hole full OF surface drainage in the pasture
or frog pond. While it is not probable
that the tadpoles and wrigglers sometimes
found in city milk have been drunk by
thirsty cows, many infusions do exist in
suchpools that are hardly eliminated or rem
dered entirely harmless by the wonderful
milk secretions OF the animal. The cattle
should dri0k from spring fed boxes; and

1t was late one evening in Septem-
Der, 1875, that L first heard the mys,
FERROUS music of Pascagoula. An old
fisherman called me from the house
where l then was, to come down on
the river bank and hear the spirits
singing under the water" Full of
eager curiosity, | readily obeyed the
summons, and, if what l heard can
not properly be called music, it was
certainly mysterious. From out of the
waters of the river, apparently some
forty feet from its shelving bank, rose
a roaring murmuring sound, whicE
gradually increased in strength and
volume until it reached its height,
when it slowly descended.
1t never advanced or receded, but
seemed always in the same spot; and,
though l remained there some time, it
never ceased, but continued to rise and
fall in the name that | have indi-
Gated above. The reader may obtain a
better idea of the music if he will place
his ear against n telegraph pole, the
timber of which, acting as "a sounding
board for the wires that are played
upon by the wind, gives forth a
strange, tremulous sound, that is an
exact counterpart of the music of
Pascagoula"-with this difference,
however, that whereas the music of
the wires is very wavering and tremu
lous, that of the water rises and falls
with n steady swell.-Charles f. Child
sey in Popular Science Monthly.

Only a few years ago the country rang
with the praise Of Miss Kate Shelley, of
Aonigona, Ia, who crossed a swollen
stream in the dark, at great risk 10 her
self and in the midst of a bowling storm,
to save q passenger train. for a bridge
had been swept away by a torrent.
Poems were written on the episode, pic
lures appeared in the illustrated papers
and innumerabh- paragraphs were writ
tenN about the heroine. 1t is said that
she saved the railroad company $50, 900,
or more, in property, to say moth
ing about what they might have been
called upon to pay for lives lost and
passengers injured. Today Miss Shelley
is the sole support Of a widowed mother
and three small children, and they are
living in a heavily mortgaged house,
which is their only property. Three
years ago she risked her life for others,
and her reward is chiefly the conscious
ness Of a brave and successful deed. The
railroad company gave her q small re-
ward, less than the value OF one of the
carr which she saved, and the passen-
gers, whose lives were preserved by her
act, have entirely forgotten c r.-Brook-

The preferred stationery for ladies Is
linen paper without gloss, white or cream
tinted. smooth or rough in finish, and of
the standard octave size, to fold once in
a square envelope. Medium rough paper
and etching paper. similar to that pre-
pared for etchers, Is used hyt1mSaWho
write with stubs or with quiIl pens. In
serSH3 paper is a fancy novelty, with al
ternate thick and thin lines across the
page. The colored papers most used are
pale blue or rose tinted, dark blue and
gray Of several shades, and for these are
cameo decorations which bring out the
design in white relief.
Monograms of most intricate lettering
are again the fashion, stamped in colors,
or in gold, silver, or any of the colorcd
bronzes, or, newest of all, in steel letters
that produce perfectly the effect Of the
metal. Instead Of involved monographs,
the separate initials in quaint, odd letter
ing are preferred by many, or else they
are a facsimile of those of the writer.
Family crests and coats of arms are
stamped in the proper heraldic colors.
A tasteful marking for a young lady's
letter paper, and for the smaller ''billet"
sheets on which she writes her pretty
notes, instead of using stiff cards, shows
the initial of her last name done in brown
to initiate a woody stem, supporting or
surrounding a tiny blossom of her ia
vorite flower in natural colors-a violet,
a wild rose, forget-me-nots, n pansey or
a primrose.-Boston Cultivator.

William H. Crane, the actor, who Is
just now earning so much money that
he hardly knows what to do with it, may
owe part of his success to his wife, who
manages him with a hand which, while
it is highly priced by the comedian, is
one the less resolute and dictatorial. At
one OF the actors symposiums converse
ton turned on the subject of money
making, and some one observed that Mr..
Crane must be making as much out of
his new play as he and Robson made to-
gether in the best run of THE Hen
rietta."
And now that you don't have to share
with Robson you must naturally make
double as much as you did before!" said
the visitor.
"Oh, no." replied Crane. 81 have a
partner still who takes n good Zeal more
han Robson's share"
tsShy, who is it?' was asked.
"Mrs. Crane" was the reply. 81 get

wives. 1t wouldn't do a bit of good if 1

lined overcoat TO remind me that / was

Four New York men who were present
complimented Mrs. Crane.
"You are not a New Yorker by BIRTH"
said one. ''If you were, your husband
would be bemoaning your extravaganza"

People in the social world are now dis
cussing a question of etiquette. The
problem is this: II n lady is in deep
mourning for the death of a near rela-
tive, is it proper for her to lay aside her
somber garb and participate in miscella-
neous social festivities, and then discard
the shrimp pink and Nile green and don
a plain black dress and a crepe veil? A
year or two ago / knew Of a case of this
kind, and the social authorities agreed
that it was the height of improperly.
The lady in hat case was in private life.
The present case is complicated by the
fact that the lady has official duties to
perform. and many Of the social ~casuists
justify the first lady in the land in wear
ing black privately for her sister and col
ors publicly, as an official person who
a have no griefs except those OF an
official character.-Washington Letter.

One of the ladies, the daughter of the
shrewdest and most successful man in
he country and an heiress in her own
name, has the locker next to mine, and
also a very torpid liver. The doctor is
particularly interested in this fair ath-
lete, and confident of restoring her beauty
and health if directions are carried out
Here is a programme: Walk three
miles every day in the open air; ride one
hour in a cab or stage over a rough road:
use sponge baths only until the action OF
the liver is restored; select a diet of soft
or raw eggs, lettuce, celery, rice, spinach,
rhubarb, fresh fruits, fish, chocolate and
sweet milk; prepare the stomach for
each meal by rinsing it out with three
pints of warm or cool water; and the
things to be avoided are excitement,
tight clothing, bonbons, tea, coffee, meat,
hot bread, pastry and stimulhnts of all
kinds.
But that is not all. Before retiring
this daughter of Croesus uses pound bells
until a free Precipitation starts, then she
gets down on the floor and walks round
the DON on her hands and toes until ex-
hausted. The sleep that ensues is both
invtgorating and uninterrupted. And
this is the sort of physical culture that
such ladies as Mrs. Calvin Brice, Mrs.
Louis Tiffany, Mrs. Roger Pryor, Mrs.

Sylvanus Reed and Mrs. lie Moyne are

house, glasses and l~orgnettes were raised

girdle, bracelets, necklaces, earrings and
tiara studded with diamonds of wonder
full b%rilliancy, beauty and number. Row
upon row Of diamonds encircled her
throat, the pendants covering her neck
and the longest fringing the corsage of
rich velvet. The jewels in her hair were
worthy of n queens coronet, the large
stone shining like stars. Butterflies with
outspread wings quivered on her shout
ders, and in the soft lac of her corsage
flowers, birds and priceless insects were
fastened. 1t is doubtful if a more costly
display Of diamonds was ever seen in the

Not merely is boycotting applied to
English goods and shops and to English
men when they appear in the streets of
Lisbon, but a paragraph has appeared
announcing a committee of ladies, so
called, OF the high aristocracy, for the
purpose Of inducing all ladies in Lisbon
society to break off social relations with
the members of the British legation.
Considering that Mrs. Petre has lone
more for Lisbon society during her resi-
dence here thar any other lady of her
position, fully meriting the exceptional
popularity she has enjoyed, the parade
of this petty act OF ncor might with
propriety have been omitted. 1t is hardly
likely that her majesty's minister will
allow Mrs. Petre, who is at present in
