When and How to Pack Rut1er.

May and October are the best months
to pack butter for family use Take q
clean, sweet vessel (stone jar preferred)
pack churning of butter in it that has
been properly salted and worked Then
make strong brine and cover the but
ter two inches deep. Set away in = cool
place: cover nicely. When the next
churning is ready pour off the brine
into a clean vessel. pack the butter on
top of the previous churning and return
the brine. Repeat until the jar is full
If wooden vessel is used be careful to
nse none that will spoil the flavor of
the butter. Ash wood is the best
When the vessel is full spread a thin
cloth over the butter and cover with
salt Cover tight and set away until it
is wanted for use. Butter put up in
this way may be kept sweet and fresh
for months--Farmers' Voice.

TO MAKE GOOD COFFEE.
Some Practical S<ggessions for the YOUNG
Ho0sekeeper.

Hoosekeeper.
Remember in making coffee
That the same flavor will not suit
every taste
That everyone can be suited to a
nieety by properly blending two or
more kinds
That equal parts Of Mocha, Java and
Rio will be relished by a good many
people.
That a mild coffee can be made dan
Serousiy strong and still retain the
mildness of flavor.
That the enjoyment Of q beverage and
slsvish devotion thereto are onite diff
ferent things
That the flavor is improved if the
LIQUID is turned from the dregs as soon
as the proper strength has been OBJ
tanned.
That where the percolation method
Is used the coffee should be ground
very fine or the strength viii not be
extracted.
That if the ground coffee is put into
the water and boiled it should he rathr
er coarse, otherwise it will invariably
be muddy.
That a good coffee will always COM
mand : fair pries, but that all high
priced coffees are not necessarily Of
high quality.
That in serving the cups and cream
should be warm; the cream should be
pus in the cup befare the coffee il
poured in, but il Is mza1terfal when the
sugar il added.
That level teaspoonfni of the ground
coffee to each cup is the standing al
lowance, from which deviation can b
made in either direction according to
the strength desired-Chicago Times.

LiGe's Dark side.

He walked the streets of New York all
day inquiring for work, but his appear
ance was against him. Nobody wanted
such shabby, shutting, pale and peaked
individual. Fate was against him-the
world was against him. So he could get
nothing to do, and when weary and
faint, instead of going back where a
starving wife and little one watched and
waited, he skunk through the gate and
into Central park to rest. He took
seat just back of one of the main drives.
behind a clump of shrubbery and
out of the way of the policeman, who
would either make him move on or run
him in as vagrant. He could hear tie
voices and laughter of the happy throng
as they rolled by, their luxurious equi-
pages glittering in the light of an expir.
ing sun. Between himself and them
there was gulf as wide as that 'twixt
hell and heaven. What his thoughts
were-whether he felt the fault was with
the world or with himself-nobody will
ever know.
The shades of night settled down. BY
and by he fell asleep. 1t was the long.
wakeless sleep. In the morning his
body was found by policeman. The
coroner reported the death of vagrant
from unknown cause. The moral? Nine
teenth century civilization, human weak
ness, questions of economics, Christian
charity-there are score of morals.
