The Last London SweeD.

The contemporary chimney sweeps,
who still are of Importance to London,
are lusty youths and mature men, who
work with a machine" and bear re-
lation to the ancient order commiser-
ated by Lamb and purposely cham
pioned by Dickens only in their SCOT
grimed hands and blackened counte-
nances. One of these. testifying at tho
inquest over William Price, summed
up the grand difference between orig.
inal worth and present degeneracy
"Lor bless you. we amt chimbley
sweeps nowadays. Not a bit of it. We
work with a lot Of sticks. Anybody
can do that. But he-ah. he wor a
sweep, he wor. He could do our work,
but we couldn't do his. There amt nc
chimbleys, and there amt no sweeps
now.'-LOndon Letter.

They All Saw 1t Move.

Mrs. Burton, with her husband-Sir
Richard Burton, the famous traveller
and two ladies, had driven out of
Trieste to a village dance, and were
sitting in the carriage listening to the
band.
Suddenly, at the top of a roof,
caught sight of a rat, which appeared to
me to be spellbound by the music.
Look l said. Don't move, but
watch that rat, fascinated by the mu-
sic"
SO we all sat and watched it, and
thought it most interesting that rats
should be susceptible to music like liz
ards and snakes.
We all saw it move; we all saw its
head turn and it's tail move, and we
Kept still, not to brighten it away. The
next day, feeling so much interested i n
the affair, we sent to inquire about it.
The rat, it turned out, was made of
painted tin, and fixed to the top of the
house. So much for Imagination.

An English dairy journal says: The
utter disregard of the first principle Of
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS temperature of
the eream-naturally produces a soft.
oily butter containing excess Of moist
ure. No amount of washing or maui.
ing can make butter produced at too
high a temperature or over-churned
any good; while excessive washing en-
tirely removes the fine aroma which all
choice creameries should possess In q
very marked degree. Tie foisting OF
rubbish as choice creamery on English
buyers is as stupid a fraud as the ship
ping Of false weights and tares, and
when done to any extent, as during
the past month, simply destroys the
markets for tie tiIie being.
As confidence in quality is now being
restored, I look for a renewed and
much better butter demand. Butter
must be made now by the rule Of Their
mometer and accurate weighing; not
by the rule of thumb and guess-work.
