She does not care so much about ts nature, so long as it is taken regu- J tarry, bne Deueves that it is as mucn the duty of parents to insist upon certain amount of exercise for their girls, as to insist upon proper clothing. General Neal Dow, has a daughter In Nashua, New Hampshire, who has not been able to more from her chair for years, but has jecn an indefatiga ble student, and has mastered French, German, Spanish, Russian and Greek. She recently performed the feat of re peating a long passage from the Greek Testament, verbatim, from memory, month after she had read it. Miss Dow loses sight of her mi 3 fortunes in her love of o.uay. The "Churchman," speaking of the death of Father Damien, the leper priest, says that outside of the walls of Jerusalem ia a leper hospital tended by deaconesses from the German re ligious houses. Year after year these heroio women, without pretentious ness, without any trumpeting of their work, almost unknown to the world, have waited upon lepers, while them selves literally dying by inches. Their courage has only came to light by the chance notice of travellers. The Queen of Corea is no figure bead. She belongs to one of the greatest families of the country, and it is an open secret that she has at times her voice in councils of the king. She has an establishment of her own inside the palaee grounds, and the king, the crown prince, and the queen have each their separate household. The queen dresses, of course, in the Corean costume. She wears fine silks, and has beautiful diamonds. She car cries a chatelaine watch, which is studded with diamonds, and smokes American cigarettes by the thousand. The will of Hannah Lightfoot, a colored woman, was admitted to pro bate in Memphis, a short time ago, and revives the memory of an ante-bellum incident. She was born free, and had some little property. She loved and was beloved by a colored man, a slave. With great industry she added to her savings sufficient money to enable her to purchase her lover's freedom, and married him, receiving a bill of sale with him, which she carefully pre served. It is pleasant to know that he prospered in the worldly way, as he deserved, and left considerable property to her children. A singing competition took place recently between some hundreds of London working girls, representing wine nine clubs. The Pall Mall Gaz ette says: The evident anxiety of the riils to acquit themselves well in the performance of their part-songs was touching. The members of the young est of the clubs it had only been formed a few months, and all its mem bers learned their songs after twelve hours' work in a sweets factory had been quite sure that they would win tbe prize as long as they were down at Camberwell, where their own musical performances were the only "sweet sounds" they heard; but when they heard the members of other clubs on Saturday a great fear fell upon them, snd they whispered to the lady-president that they would rather not sing il they might withdraw. They sang, however, and professor Thomas, who icted as judge, encouraged them greatly by kindly telling them that they prop ised very well. While in Canton I visited prisons, temples, pagodas, mills, shops, duck hatchings, and everything of interest. To see the ducks I hired a boat, man aged by three women, and spent ovei three hours on the river. I have had occasion to remark everywhere in mj travels tbe decent behavior of women One hardly expects much in a country where little girl babies are sometimes killed or sold into any kind of slavery because of the poverty of the mother. Here were three women who were born on a boat and whose whole life is spent on one, and yet they had as much de cency and natural modesty as if they bad received a ounday-school education A fine girl of sixteen sat on the deck of the bow, vigorously pulling her oat in front of me, and smiling through 1 beautiful set of teeth. She wore wid trousers under a kind of sack or gown her feet were bare.

Womiiii'i wit is a gossamer thread, aci one which has been known to tip the scale when s heavy argument, attached to a cable of logic, could not drag it down. Indeed, a grain of wit is sometimes worth more in the practical affairs of life than a pound of learning. Happy the warrior who is provided with both and therefore armed for all occasions. An exchange tells the story of a retort whioh won the day. Many of the first setUers of Illinois were rnde in speech and manner. Money was not plentiful with them, ana service was paid lor in produce. Governor B. used to illustrate these characteristics of frontier life by a true story. Oue day there came to his office a young man accompanied by a young woman. "Be you the squire?" asked the youth. "Yes sir." "How m"ch do yon charge?" "One dollar is the legal fee, sir." "Will you take your fee in bees wax?" 'Yes, if yon can't pay cash." "Well, go ahead and tie the knot and I'll fetch in the wax." "No," said the squire, seeing a chance of amusins; himself, "bring in the beeswax first, and then I'll marry you." Belnctantly the youth returned to tbe yard where was hitched the horse upon which, Darby and Joan fashion, the couple had ridden, and brought in the sack of wax. On being weighed, its value was found to be about fifty cents. "WaJ," said the groom, "tie the knot and I'll fetch in more wax next week." "No sir, I don't trust; that's against the rules of this office." Slowly the disappointed youth turned to depart, saying, "Come Jane, let's go." "I say, mister," suggested Jane, moved by woman's wit, "can't you marry us as far as the wax will go?" "lea, I can and will," replied the squire, laughing; and he did. " We had some mlnd-realing at our party last evening. Johnny had a pin and the new minister tried to find It" "And did he sreceed?" "Oh, yes he found it when he sat down." "But.

W make butter from cream, we ffet cream from milk, and on the vegetable and animal kingdoms are ve dependent for the crude material, ays a writer In the American Cultiva tor. It has been found that by feed ing M well as breeding you can en rich tne quality of milk, make the oily globules multiply without a rela tive expansion of water bulk, and that in a lesser way the oaseine solids could be caused to likewise Increase. Then again, experiments proved that peculiarities of vegetable flavor, like the odor imparted to milk from roots, ensilage, etc, could be averted by feeding such food to stock directly after milking. Grasses and milk-flavored herbage when turned to milk pro duce that aromatic and delicate butter flavor, always sought after by the con sumer. While the composition of but ter is sixty-eight parts palmltlne and thirty parts olelne, there romalns two parts which if affected debases the value of the whole. This insignificant proportion of 2-100ths of the bulk consists of peculiar odoriferous and flavoring ingredients, the principal of hlch has received the name of "butyrlne." I caution the butter maker against U9lng anything but the very best commercial color, because if base ingredients are used in eliminat ing the dye from the annatto seeds, the hue given to the dairy product will be of an inferior cast. It must be remembered that zho but ter globules or "oil drops" are not quite fluid, but have a pasty consist ency, owing to the large amount of palmitine which they contain, in pro portion to the olelne. These globules vary in size, but change shape slight ly by benting. becoming mors circu lar in form. We know that a rupture of these globules means rancidity of the product, and rancid butter is fitted only for axle grease. These globules taken in common compose the (Train," and tbe grain of butter should not be broken till It is spread by the table knife of the consumer. The writer here presents the most salient points of the new and intelli gent method of dealing with this oleaginous commodity: 1. Cream ripening evenly in one oatch, not several messes in different stages of maturity mixed together prior to churning. 2. Churning at a uniform tempera tare, of whioh an average of 60" can be regarded as standard. 8. A firm granulation of the butter, which the proper temperature la the cream will assure. - The washing of the butt with cold water, when it is in a granulated state. Washing should be accom plished by a gentle revolution of the dash till the water runs off clear. 6. Working salt into the butter with gentleness, exercising extreme caution not to overwork. As soon as the salt, whioh should be of the finest and purest grade, ia incorporated In the butter structure, you should cease manipulate it with the ladle. 6. Paoking product in immaculate OHSes. A correct process of manufact ure will oome to naught if the butter be packed loosely, or in unclean ves sels. Few realize with what pertinac ity spores and bacteria will cling to the smooth surface of tubs and jars. Only prolonged heat will kill the mi croscopic spores, which, if not elimi nated from the sides of the firkin, will by their spreading into the butler structure debase its flavor and lower its marketable worth.
