The C,0l0r Of Butter.

The natural color of butter is white
instead of yellow, though the food
and the breed must be considered. To
have the cows give yellow butter the
farmer must grow carrots and ruta-
bagas, which may be fed with advan
tage in winter, not only to color the
butter, but also to increase the guam
tity, as COWS thrive we'll and give
increased yields when they receive a
ration OF roots daily, and no root is
more acceptable to horses add COW.

Piles Can Br Cured.

Richard Bennett, Wes.ield,- N. Y,
writes:
"For thirty>two years I suffered
from piles, both internal and external,
with all their attendant agonies, and
like many Others suffered from hem
orrhoids. All those thirty two years
| had to crsmp myself to pay doctors
and druggists for stuff that was doing
me little or no good. Finally I was
urged by one who had the same com
plant, but had been cured by BRAN
DRETH's PILLS, to try his cure. l did
so, and began to improve, and for the
past two years | have had no incon>
venience from that terrible ailment."

The World Enriched.

The facilities of the present day for til.

duce to the material welfare and comfort

when Syrup of Figs was first produced
the world was enriched with the only
perfect laxative known, as it is the only
remedy which is truly pleasing and re-
freshing to the taste and prompt and
efectual to cleanse the system gently in
the Spring time or, in fact, at any time
ard the better it is known the more pop
n1ar it becomes.

The POgOnip.

The thawing weather OF the past
few days eliminated, this morning, in
the thick fog filled with particles of
ice which is known to mountaineers
as the Pogonip. This condition.
which is the result of the congealing
of the moisture IN the atmosphere, is
productive Of more pulmonary COM
plants than any other known cause
and when it exists people should be
more careful of themselves than at
any other time.

The young men about.town of Chs
cago and other wicked Eastern cities
have hit upon fad which is a great
convenience to the "cabbies" aud to
themselves. They write their name,
street and house number on q card
stuck in their hat.crowns, and when
they get too jolly to be able to iden-
tify themselves any "cabhy" can, BY
looking in their hats, ascertain who
and what they are, aud take them
home. 1t is this fad, undoubtedly,
that gave rise to the phrase talking
through your hat"

Grams who will crowd around the national
camp fire this week at Washington City
have ears more delica.ely tuned than
those of their miserable detractors. They
can hear Lincoln lemnly praying at
Gettysburg that popular liberty may not
perish from the earth: hear Gov. John
A Andrew bidding Baltimore ''send
home tenderly" the first dead Of Massa-
chusetts; can hear the vast cheer that
hailed the first victory for the flag, the
wall for the fallen. the glad welcome home
OF the victors; can see TIE elaborate honors
to the Union dead. A var that brought
the whole heart of the North to its mouth
was not in any sense var Of "bonds and
booty" No suffers or contractors or
peddIer's war was this that swept into its
ranks the piety, the purity, the courage,
the best life and light of the state, with
out distinction of church or party; war
that could involve a whole people and
make whole state instinct with self-sacri-
flee; that could enlist net brutal and BRAIN
less prixefighters, but gentle-hearted and
tenderly-nurtured boys, with their fathers
cheer and their mothers prayer; war
that swept into its patriotic food all sym
pathies and all degrees Of intelligence. all
pursuits, all ranks and conditions OF life
could not have been such war as cynical
critics describe and deride today.
No transient passion ever carried peo-
pie through the fearful fluctuations Of our
mighty civil conflict unless that war had
been bottomed on the great heart of the
plain people. And the G. A. r. are the
survivors of this great war which is the
romance of our latest history, since it is the
one thing whose memory is still treated
with comparative reverence by the most
irreverent people on earth.
