NEW SECRET DISCOVERED.

This Time It's IN lnventl0a for Making
Butter without Churnisg.
It is reported that the butter secret
has been discovered. DR.. Vaughn il
the man who is credited with having
found it, and ii Is regarded in scientific
circles as perhaps the greatest of his
discoveries. The thing that he is repre-.
sented to have got at is the allxalpid
which, being created in milk or cream
by churning, produces butter. DR..
Vaughn, it seems, takes a can Of
fresh milk. drops In some aikaloid, aud
presently dips ont the fully-developed
butter without further ado. IL is not
oleomargarine. or any illegal-unless-
labeled substitute. but real butter. ~
Here, says Harper's Weekly. is an
other step taken toward the millennial
period when man will press the button
and nature will do the rest DR..
Vaughn does away with the schurns,
the next inventor may be expected &c
abolish cows Give LIN q pail Of rain
water and he juggles something into IL
and you get back real milk. Then an
ounce or two Of alkaloid, and 10. but
ter! and all the milkmen and dairy.
maids are in search of new employment.
There is something disc6Dcerting
about these discoveries, for all their
usefulness. Where arc they going to
stop, and what is to become of the
working people when all the work does
itself? Next we may hear that some
Investigator has discovered
the secret of literary style, 50 that by
the adjustment of . simple appliance to

in atone end, and literature cut Of at
the other in lengths and Of qualities to
suit the market This is a.more terri

Harvard undergraduates should become

Standing Room at IA Premium.

OF the play that is coming here next
Tuesday evening, the New York Herald
says: standing room was at premium
before the curtain went up at the Peo.
ple's Theatre last night, the attraction
being the new comedy-drama, THE
Cannon-Ball Express" presented by an
excellent company. The play is the
work of wellknown New York jour-
nalist and was presented for the first
time in New York yesterday afternoon
"The first scene is laid in a Con-
federate camp in'the wilderness, where
the hero is prisoner as Union cavalry
man. He is released from the guard
house by the explosion of shell which
was intended to take his life, and he
escapes recapture in the second act by
being taken up by passing train with a
mailbag.
in the fourth act an attempt is made
to crush him in stamp-mill, but his life
is saved, and he finally triumphs over
the Vaccinations of wicked relative
who is attempting to rob him of his
fortune. The play is interlarded with
attractive songs and dances, and it is but
fair to presume that full houses will be
the rule wherever this company may
play"
