PasteurB-ing Milk,

The system of p~asteuriZing milk is n
modification or an Improvement upon
that which was practiced when we
were young, says The American Guilt
vator. We have frequently seen pans
of milk sit on the stove, perhaps with
an iron cricket or n brick or Il kettle of
water under them to prevent the milk
from scOrching, until the cream began
TO rise and wrinkle up on top of the
milk. Then it was set away to cool
and for the cream to finish rising. This
was most usually done in the winter,
and it was supposed TO hasten the ris-
ing Of the cream before the milk froZe
and also to drive off bad OdOrs which it
might get from the food or from sta
bleS not Overclean. 1t might also alb
sorb some odors in the kitchen. though
it was not usually put on while the
cooking was being done, but people
were not as faStidiouS as now, and no
n expected the flavorS of June butter
in what was made in the winter. In
fact, but few made butter In the win
ter months unless by accident a COW
came fresh when not expected or one
was left farrow that milk might be
had for the children or to 90 with the
kettle of mush or the brown bread.
And how good those same bowls of
mush and milk used to taste to the
boys who had grown tired of boiled
dinners or of fried pork and potatoes
OF Goldfish!
The heating of the milk or cream by
this process produces much OF the
same results upon the character of the
butter fats as is done by the process
used in making the renovated" or
patent process" butter excepting that
the butter is made largely from butter
so far gone in decay or which was for
some reason so strongly favored or so
filthy looking as to be unstable. The
heating and aerating while cooling have
the effect of removing the obiectiona-
bic odors from it, but they do not de-
stroy all the bacteria, and it spOilS
again very quickly. Yet we know of
no method Of detecting any difference
between the renovated butter when
new and the butter from pasteurized
milk.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Many Things OF which It's Gradu-
ates Are

Many Things OF Which It's Gradu-
ates Are Ignorant.
The failure Of the Sunday school as
a means. Of giving a systematic and
thorough knowledge of the Bible is
great. A teacher in n city high school
asked an advanced class of 40 or so pu-
pills, who had been drilled for years in
the International Sunday School Les
sons, how to proceed in order to reach
Palestine, and not one could give the
desired information. Then she asked
Palestine is located, and no one knew.
That is a very good specimen of Sun
day school teaching and can be paral-
leled anywhere by those who will take
the trouble to ask a few questions. The
ignorance of the Bible on the part of
most persons of average intelligence is
something amazing. The simplest
questions will elicit no answer ON the
part of most such persons.
That educated persons know some
thing about the Bible may be assumed,
but not unless the training goes much
beyond the standard of the common
school. Again and again it has trans
pred that those who were generally
well informed, who were fairly well
educated and regarded as bright and
clever, were almost totally ignorant Of
the Bible. Their Sunday school train
ing had given them no knowledge of
h book that was of any value, and,
however much they might have read it
since, it was to them a sealed volume.

TAKING IN Mr.. MOODY.
How His Confidence Was Abused by
the Natives of Bethany.

When ID. l.. Moody went TO Bethany
very soft hearted over all the multi
tude of beggars there, not only because
the place is so unusual, but because he
was moved by its beautiful traditions.
He gave quantities of 'backsheesh'
and then asked If any OF the children
had the names of Mary and Martha.
Yes, indeed. they had. And that open
ed his pockets again.
The news Of his generosity spread
through the village, and new claim
ants came until his visit seemed likely
TO result in a fight for existence. The
case vas getting desperate, and he
told the dragoman to call for silence
while he made an address. Then he
said:
Il have come 6,O00 miles to see this
little village Of Bethany. 1t was n
place my Master loved to visit, and l
have come TO see it because he loved
it. / am very glad to meet you all, but
more backsheesh, and l bid you good
by"
A fine looking boy of 16 replied to the
address. He spoke fluently and with
the grace of an orator. Mr.. Moody
was delighted with the beginning of
his Grafton, but not with its conclusion.
1--WE are glad to see the gentleman
and his friends who have come so far,
but the gentleman must not think that
his actions are equal to the importance
of his visit. Six thousand miles is a
long way to come, and the gentleman
must have sacrificed much to make the
visit. In consequence it Is natural for
US to expect that he would be munii-
cent in backsheesh. This he has not
been. and we now expect that he will
give us a great deal more"
Mr.. Moody was so Disguised that he
abandoned the situation entirely and
hurried away with his friends.
Il did think" said he, ''that boy had
a soul above backsheesh."
And did you think, too, that some
OF the children were named Martha
and MaryY' he was asked.
Certainly. Why not?"
Nothing; only they were all boys
