The p Home.

Where lies the sorest sorrow that
disturbs the heart-peace and spoils all
the luster of worldly gains or honorsi
1t is in the worm that lies at the root
Of the home-life. 1t is Of little account
to a man to be prosperous in his store
or his office or his pulpit If he be
wretched at his own ~hearthstone. On
the other hand, the wife can bear any
social neglect, any stroke of adversely,
and even to be ignored by Society" II
her husband is loving and her children
affcct;onate and obedient. But a hus
bands unkindness Is n dry sorrow
that drinks her hearts blood. Our Sc
yerest and most .cruel wounds are
those inflicted by the hands that ought
to clasp our 0wn most closely. We'd
lock, as many Of us can testify,
means the sweetest Joy that earth can
know; but woe be to that home whose
worst enemies are they Of ones own
household! Good Philip Henry said
that he and his wife adopted a rule
that but one of them should get angry
at the same time. That scotched the
serpent of conjugal l%uarrels., Another
equally good rule is to allow fifteen
minutes before any reply is made to
an Irritating utterance. All this sort
of little vipers in the home-nest that
are fatal to domestic happiness can
only be extermlnated by persistent, de.
voted, unselfsh, Nforbearing, all-con-
quering love.-Rev. DIR. Colyer. in New
York Ledger.

Water and Butter.

Butter not only takes OH odors very
easily, but it accommodates itself to
authorizations very readily. The cleo
margarine adulteration Is one of which
we have heard most, but that which is
made with water Is even more common.
From IA to 16 per cen water is regard
ell as the amount which butter may
fairly contain; but there are many sam
pies which show vastly more. We re-
member nj time when we were OBJ
tanning the family supply OF butter
from a reputable creamery. and We're
at the same time having lunch brought
from home. A very small glass jar was
used to carry the butter, and as 1t was
taken out to spread at luncheon time,
until, when the butter was entirely re-
moved, the jar was nearly or quite one
half full. That Is a%dultcration, harm
less, 1t is true, so far as injury to
health is concerned, but a swindlc,
nevertheless. In a recent English pros
ecution for excess of water in butter,
the defendant was the Wholesale Co.
operative society, and from the facts
developed on the trial, based upon their
OWL figures and statements, their Gus
tomers-it being a very large concern
appeared to be paying about 100000 9

what 1t should have contained. HOnes1

practices, such as stuffing the prOduc

are certain to react upon the producer

A serpentine costume,

At the last fancy dress ball at Co.
vent Garden, one Of the most conspicn-
Gus persons present was Mrs. Langtry,
who was attired in a ''serpentinc' cos
tune of great originality. The
Lily's" domino was Of black satin,
yelled in black gauze, spanglcd with
metallic particles. The fluffy, frilled
and g%littering cape that adorned her
shoulders was fringed with small
snakes, while more reptiles of portent-
u size adorned each breadth Of the
flowing skirt. Down the front from
chin to hem fell a perfect school Of in
fantile snakes. while all around the
hood that shielded her famous feat
Tres from view wriggled a mas Of
these shining worms. Around her slcn-
der waist a boa constructor clasped
his cleaning folds, while on each of
her black-gloved hands a smaller edi-
ton of the same creature was discern
ible.-LondOn Letter.

produces large quantities of milk and
also an excellent horsc-feed. The es-
sayist, L. G. Clute, said wooden silos
were cheap, easily built and more sat
isfactory than stone or brick; best Of
all is n built in the end of the barn.
Put the corn in while it is all green.
and do not wait until the lower leaves
and heavy parts of the stalk have be-
gun to dry. Keep 1t tramped down.
More cows can be kept upon a given
amount of land where ensilage Is put
up than where fodder is fed. Mr..
Clute was very enthusiastic, stating
that 1t was his belief that the crop
could he put up with less expense than
when cut as fodder, and that the same
amount of corn vas worth 30 per cent
more as ensilage than as dry feed. He
does not, however, use ensilaSe cxclu.
sively, but also cuts, husks and shreds
some Of his own corn.-Orange Judd
Farmer.
