Try to Suit the Consumer.

Some farm dairy butter sells at low
price not because it is in itself bad but
because it is made to suit the maker and
not the customer. a study Of the kind
of butter liked best on ones market IS
quite as essential to high prices as a
knowledge of the principles underlying
good butter making. Again, a large
amount Of first, class farm dairy butter Is
spoiled on the way TO market through
contact with poor butter OF all degrees,
and by association with "choice family
groceries" in the cellar of the country
store. Another great disadvantage that
farm dairy butter has upon the market is
that il is not made in large enough quaint
ties at a time so that the maker can afford
to spend time and money in looking up
and holding the best class of customers,
but must depend upon commission men
in general market. 1t is in this respect
that the creamery justly enjoys great adj
vantage over the private dalrman, by be-
ing able to guarantee a certain amount OF
uniform quality regularly. And it IS IN
this way that farmers owning, or only
caring to keep, small number of COWS,
may secure the largest advantage through
cooperation in the establishment OF a
creamery.

1t argues great insight in Eve to have
preferred the apple to all the other fruits
of the garden, for ust at present it is be-
ing exploited by physicians and food
authorities as one of the most healthiul
of fruits. Its chemical composition has
been found to consist of vegetable fibre,
albumen, sugar, gum, chlorophyl, meltia
acid, gallo acid, lime, and water and the
German analysis add, "a larger amount
of phosphorus than any other fruit or
vegetables The phosphorus, a writer,
in the North American Practitioner
claims, is good for renewing the nervous
matter of the brain and spinal cord, and
the acids for the liver that finds difficulty
in doing its work. The fruit may be
eaten uncooked, baked, or stewed, with
out an excess of sugar. Itshould always
be pared before eating, even when baked,
though pains should be taken to pare it
very thin so as to avoid waste, and also
because one of the best parts of the
apple is just next the skins OF the apple.
We shall have much-needed table
convenience when some one invents an
apparatus for boiling eggs perfectly that
is inexpensive enough 10 come within the
reach of as many as are the various
grades of chatting dishes now sold.
There is an English invention of the kind
that steams eggs, to be had n this coun-
try, but it is too expensive to be widely
used. Cooking eggs by this nice little
affair, that turnes them out in a delicious
hard or soft state. is as pleasant as max
ing tea at your table, or scrambling your
own eggs in a chatting dish; but the result
can hardly be said to be superior to the
way recommended by Matthew Williams
in his Chemistry of Cookery 1t will be
remembered that in his experiments he
found the albumen of the egg was most
perfectly cooked by covering it with boil
ing water, covering the saucepan that
contained it tight and placing it on the
hearth for ten minutes. Let any one who
is SIX, ptical of the result compare an egg
cooked in this way with one boiled vio-
lenlly for from two and a half to three
and half minutes in the old fashion or

Deep Breathing.

Ii is only lately that much has been
said in the public prints regarding the
importance oil deep breathing, though
physicians have for many years been
urging their patients 10 practise it. 1t
seems singular that people should not
have discovered for themselves its adj
yantages, for they are very obvious. and
follow quickly upon their cause. The
most obtuse person who choose toattempt
alienation of any one OF dozen common
complaints by a series of deep, regular
breaths will be convinced Of their efticien-
cy.
As in the case of every other natural
remedy, its admirers often claim too
much fsr it, but the most conservative
who try it honestly will admit that it can
do great deal.
We all know that fear is aprolfio source
Of disease A very large proportion OF
the cases in an epidemic are computed to
be caused directly by nervousness. Al
most any man, if told that he looks Ill, Is
likely to be seized with whatever malady
happens to be most prevalent The grip
has done much of its deadly work upon
those who were too frightened by the
thought of ii to do anything to resist its
approaches. In state OF fear, as is well
known, the breath comes family and in
short catches. When the cause OF the
terror is removed one draws long
breath. The mind curists have enriched
us by at least one excellent adage 1t is !:
do not allow yourself to think that you
are i'll. Keep on breathing deeply and
regularly, and do not give way to fear.
After exposure to cold, steady, deep
breathing, often holding the lungs full OF
ais for full minute or more has frequent
" broken up chill In seasckness the
same treatment, taken as the ship rises
and falls, will often prevent nausea.
Sleeplessness may sometimes be overcome
by careful breathing
One prolific cause of malaria is the foul
eXhalations from the lower lungs, which a
too shallow breathing fails to carry OFT,
The breath should penetrate to the re-
hottest labyrinths of these great sewers
of the system, in order to cleanse away
their poisonous gases. 1t goes witt out
saying that the looser the clothing the
more thoroughly this vital work can be
accomplished. If it be not thoroughly
accomplished, there is bound to be trouble
sooner or later.
Anaemia, consumption, dyspepsia,
some forms of heart disease and many
other malades are especially benefited by
deep breathing. One distinguished ply.
stefan once remarked that he attributed
his own excellent health largely to the
habit which he had acquired of taking,
when coming tc a street crossing, deep
breath, and holding it until he had gained
the other side In this way he increased
his chest measurement four inches in two
years. Any one who wishes to increase
his chest capacity cannot employ more
eiticacious and natural method than this.

Hamilton, in his paper on the Selection
and Care of the Dairy Cow, among other
things, said:
"Give them plenty Of good water,
pumped through pipes from distant well
or spring into the stable, by means of a
tread power; and instead of turning the
COWS out to be chilled Gas they will only
walk to the trough, and take no further
exercise), put each pair of cows in rota
ton on the tread-power to pump or cut
their own feed. Arrange it so that, apart
from the walk to the trough in the stables
to drink each day. their turn would be,
say. two or three times per week, for half

Woman's labor Is more used In Fin

women in almost every trade; they COM
pete with men as clerks, as managers OF

in banks. where they are found to be
more orderly and honest than men. II
Is too common an occurrence for men
cashiers to run away to America. but
women stick to their posts. This woman
labor has today. however, received a
severe shock. A young lady, barely
twenty-one, intrusted with tho entire
cash Of large establishment, has run
away, after having spent some 10000
marks belonging 70 her employers. Her
chief checked her cashbook every night
and invariably found II correct. After
having duly certified to this the day
items were tempered with, a wrong
total made mp and carried forward to
next day. and this she has carried ON for
n year and half.
Her employer had, however, reason
to suspect that something was wrong,
and asked her to send him her cash
books. This she did, but on leaving the
Office at o'clock she went direct to the
railway and travelled over night to st.
Petersburg and thence to Berlin, where
she was caught. How she has squan-
dered this heavy sum nobody q IN tell,
