FAST YOUNG INDIA.
II Loves English Society Because OF tn
Ioayes and Fishes.

H Loves English Society Because OF the
Loayes and Fishes.
The Hindoo Of Calcutta does not rep
yesent an ancient tradition, for he is
but thing of yesterday, called into
being by the foreigner, and he repre-
sents an altogether novel phase OF
thought, which is gradually making it
self felt, and is the chief characteristic
of what has been dubbed Young India.
Young India is the more or less Eu-
ropeanized Hindoo, says Harpers
Weekly. The supple mind Of the
Bengalese could not long remain i'm
pervious to the influence of daily con-
tact with the European cast of thought,
and all Hindoos are more OF less af-
fected by that contact. A European
education, the study of the classics and
of contemporaneous literature, of an
cient and modern history and OF the
natural sciences, could not fail to have
results on every stratum of society,
and culture has filtered down from the
university to every class, awa&ing as
pirations and ambitions previously un-
known.
A new society has sprung up, of
wnat may be termed Anglicized In
dians, which society, alasl Is not al
ways recruited from the elite OF the
native population; the higher castes,
who cling to their traditions and re-
tain their pride of race, are generally
faithful to the culture of the past The
masses who make up Young India are
not attached to European civilization
by any sense of its superiority or by
intellectual curiosity, but In search
Of remunerative appointments. To get
one of the inferior situations under the
government which are open to native
baboos it is necessary to be able to
speak and write English, and everyone
anxious to secure thirty rupees month
In some Office rushes to the universities
and public schools
Three hundred candidates for place
worth some three pounds ten month!
And what becomes of the two hun
dred and ninety-nine who fail and can
no longer live the simple natural life
of their forefathers? They must die of
hunger or swell the ranks of poll
ticians, and they choose the latter al
ternative. Proud of the superficial
knowledge they have acquired and
primed with European catchwords, the
meaning of which have long since faded
away, they form a huge unclassed
mass uncommonly like the lower
middle classes of Europe-as noisy, as
unreasonable, as narrow-minded, and,
in some rare instances, as disinterest-
ed as those with whom we are all ia
miliar, with the difference that the
formulas they are SO proud of are bor-
rowed from the traditions of an exotic
civilization, and that for them there is
a wider gulf than ever between the
letter and the spirit. What they aim
at is, in truth, neither national inde-
pendence nor local autonomy under
the English protectorate; it is simply
access to the higher administrative
functions and political domination
over other castles, with the English
army at their backs.

pro0er Care of Milk,

The first essential after starting
creamery is to teach patrons to take
care of the milk. All vessels should be
of tin. The milk should be cooled and
aerated after milking, to prevent sour
ing, as souring prevents the fat globuies
from raising in gravity creaming, and
prevents the separator from doing It's
work. 1t should be set in cold water
in summer and kept from freezing IN
winter. The milk cans should be
washed, scalded and set in the open air.
Defective milk should be returned to
the patron. Milk should be separated
at seventy degrees Fahrenheit; the less
milk taken with the fat the less loss
of the butter in the buttermilk.
SKINNED milk and buttermilk should
be tested every day to see If the sep
arators are doing their work, and to
see if the buttermaker is attending to
the ripening of his cream. The cream
should be cooled ut once after separat-

There are people who think that col

looked at 1t in that way. The con-
suraer wants yellow butter and as
matter OF fact he or she does not care
how it is made yellow. This was illus
trated some days since by a lady friend
OF ours in the city who told her milk
man that he need not leave her any
more milk or cream. Upon being asked
for the reason she told him that his
milk was good for nothing and that his
cream was not better than good MIX
would be. He replied that he did not
put burnt sugar into his cream, where

FREEZING BUTTER.


A Grcat improvement I'm the Storing OF
Dairy Products.
The freezing of butter is now prac-
ticed, as the reader probably knows
According to New York trade paper
in few cases reports We're made of
lots of butter which was not benefited
by the freezing, but in every instance
il was stated that it was due to the
fact that these lots of butter were of
q poor quality, having too much salt
and water or ha-ing too much cheese
curd left in the butter. 1t was found
that the butter which kept best in the
freezers was that which was of medi-
um or fair sailing, and was free from
cheese curd and water. Special success
was found in freezing the finest sepa-
rator creameries, which came out after
six to eight months storage with the
flavor and boquet of the finest fresh
made stock.
In past years il has been the custom
of butter-makers To put an extra
amount of salt in butter, intended for
holding, as the high salted butter
would keep sweet longer, but the
extra amount of salt was Objectionable
to learn that the finest and most deli
cately salted butter keeps best i'll the
freezers and retains its flavor and
aroma for an indefinite time. As noted
above, the butter which is full of water
or curdy matter Is more injured than
benefited by freezing, as the foreign
substances will in most cases cause
partial granulation in freezing, injur-
ing the texture and causing the butter
TO bore ragged on the trier.
The freezing of the butter is great
modern improvement in the storing
and preserving of butter, and the cold
storage men are meeting the require
ments of the time The whole burden
of success will hereafter lay upon tho
creamerymen, and it will be to their
interest to make the finest separator
butter free from curd and water,
mildly and nicely salted with the finest
salt, and happy success will crown the
efforts of all parties. Western Rural

CHAPTER VI.

DIsAPPoINTMEST-AND WELCOME
Of course, there had to be coroner's
inquiry, and was called as witness.
So long was this investigation that
Nav had come before / was released.
The first week of June found me steam
ing down the Mississippi in one of the
great river palaces of that day.
Everything was new and wonderful
to me, and l thoroughly enjoyed the
Journey. The river craft, of all sizes,
shapes and means of locomotion; the
width and majesty of the downward
sweep of the vast flood, draining half
continent; the verdure and luxuriance
of the southern spring, passing into
summer; the army of passengers, the
people, white and black so different
from those to whom had been accus-
toned; the sights and sounds of the
river by day and by night, and, as we
entered the cotton belt, the spectacle
of immense tracts of rich black loan
on the bottoms or the uplands, burst
ing into the 'mimic snow of the cotton
field" these were the things that kept
my mind in kind of rapture all the
way To the speedy meeting with my
benefactor I looked forward impa-
tiently Never, believe, did man cast
his former life behind him more en-
tirely than / had done.
1 was ashore at Vicksburg before the
steamer was fairly moored. 1t was
not the picturesque little city of to-
day, but a scattered town of barely
four thousand inhabitants, struggling
along the river bottom and trying to
climb the heights. / arranged with
one of the dozens of loafing negroes to
carry my trunk, and, escaping from
the crowd of passengers, cotton-buyers,

steamers lying with their tall smoke
pipes along the river front had

bluffs and engaged quarters at quiet

who would talk without the slightest
excuse or provocation.

the river, and heard the hoarse shouts

Matters Of Considerable Moment Dis
cuSSed Yesterday.

WASHINGTON, May g0.-The third
DAYS session OF the General Assembly
began with bright weather. The min
utes of yesterdays proceedings were APP
proved.
Rev. Charles L. Thompson, chairman
OF the Cammittee on Ministerial Relief,
reported, recommending the approval OF
the minutes of the Board for the past
year. The Presbyterian Church, SAID
the report, put no premium upon olu
age in the minlsty-tbe average

board being put S2ll year, There are
now on the rolls of the board 722 per-
sons, 81 OF whom certify that they alb
solutely need $500 year-the maxi
mum amount allowed to single family
while the others are content with
less. The total lisburse ments OF the
board In TIE year were Sl52, 492, all OF
which were provided for, Contrihu-
tions from the churches were 5000
less than in the previous year, 1881

resolutions urging the churches and ell
ders TO an increasing interest In the
work OF the board.
The report wss received ana its

of management, rather than that OF
trustees, which is eXtra.eonstltutional
and oftentimes leads to condition OF
things In opposition TO the teachings OF
the Church, and from which there is
no relief, except by appeal to the civil
courts. The committee further recon-
msnded that in the meantime the fol-
lowing dsliyerAnce be made by the
General Assembly:
The General Assembly takes notice
that there are frequent complaints
that trustees OF Congregations assume
powers and authority especially over
music, and the use Of church buildings,
which are rot warrented by, but In
conflict with, the constitution OF the
Church. The Assembly epjoips upon
the Churches loyal adherence to our
form Of government, which provides
tnat the authoriety OF the session over
all matters OF worship is paramount,
and at the same time recommends that
all such questions be treated by the
session with Christian tact and courte-
sy in the spirit Of love and forbear-
ance."
The report was made the special Or
der for next Thursday morning,
The Assembly the n adjourned to meet

and visiting ladies spent the afternoon
