At; r---at there are forty-eight girls in the How soging in age from two to sixteen. tHe GUARDIAN CORRECTED Sia, Ithink that a public newspaper

like tu~ Guardian that pretends to be of a religious or at leasta moral turo should, wheu publishing the news of the day, ex- ercise a little care. [ts reporters should not

be +i] wed to gather or manufacture pure falsehout to publish, thougb the false-

hood sould be atrifle Jaughable. The victim ot arude and base fabrication ie wurely entitled to a little consideration at the hau of the editor.

ln the Guardian of the Tih inst.,appears @ paragraph beginning “‘a novel eysiem of navaga!ivo was‘instituted at Long Creek by Mr. E. Turner, etc., stating farther that he was thrown overboard ina equall, that he ceu!:! not swim oor get back into the boat but secceeded in grasping the rudder and was thus towed awifily after the bour till she grounded, etc. Now, sir, I tell tobe Guardian that ail this staff is absolu’ely false. I think if the editor ex- ercisee a little judgment regarding the paragraph he coud see through it. He could «+e that it was an impossible act to grasp and hold 02 to the rudder of a boat when, »s was said, it was swiftly driven throug. the water.

The man who publishes a falsehood no matter by whom fabricated, when having an opportuaity of judging of ite truth or falxity, is as guilty in the eyes of the law and jxstice asthe contemptible fabricator. The facts of the case are simply these: When returning from Cb’town at Long Creek point my boat grounded. I took a pole to ~hove her off,aod in doing so the main sa\) jibed and shoved me off the wash board whereI was standirg. [ in- etantly got in and shoved the boat off and continued my way in the creek where I moored my boat. Now Sirl ask why was this sin ple incident related in the Guar: dian ? Was it worth relating ? But I sup- pose that news is ecarce and a faleehood i* better im the paper than a blank space; it covers the lack of brains that should supply healthy and reliable reading to the

public. E. G. Tvryer. Long Creek, Oct, 12th, 1897.

r Nearer to Perfection. |

The {:mmense amount of study and time. applicd by Ambrose Swusey to the con- struction of an engine of perfect precision | for graduating the ‘‘circles’’ of a telescope | has | een rewarded, Cassier’s Magazine as-— gerts, Ly the production of a dividing en- gine unsurpassed for accurate measure- merits. This, considering the difficulties involved in the case of such engines, is sci- entifical!y noteworthy. Thus, as one-third of an inch subtends an angle of one sec- | ond of ure ata distance of one mile, it is; manifest how minute must be the meas-, urements On the periphery of a circle, say, | of 3 feet diameter, and, as there are 1,296, -| 000 seconds of aro in a circle, and as all) seconds intst theoretically have the same | value, the difficulties of dividing a circle. fn which the errors shall be less than a

ond of ete areobvious. Homogeneity of materia!, proportionate parts that will equally respond to slight changes of tem-, perature and various other factors enter into this difficult problem, aside from the final corrections of the dividing mechan- isim. Every approach to perfection, there- fore, be it never attained absolutely, brings greater assurance to the astronomer of the accuracy of his measurements.

| There is a common misapprehension as to¥he nature of this natural butter lor. |} It is supposed that it is a fixed quality of the butter and is not subject to change by any process of the butter makipg. My experience differs from this dommon belief, for I have found it to beé very far from a fast color, as might be said, and very easily changed by exposure to light, as well as by the action of the salt, dune doubtless to the effect of the chlorine of the salt, this chlorine being a well known, most @f- fective bleaching agent and destructive to almost all colors. Thus when the but ter is made, if it be exposed to the light, the outer surface of it may be changed somewhat and in the working it will become mottled or streaky unless great care is taken to mix it well. Even then the light streak

Pe

the mass will have astreaked or marbled or patchy appearance. This defect of course arouses suspicion of the charac- ter of the butter, for if it is not wholly aud completely perfect in every way it is open to this questionable character a!l through. And thus it is that the color of butter is rightly one of its chief pests of excellence.

Fometimes impurity in the salt will make the butter spotty, this disfiguring being the effect of lime in the salt, and this is a common impurity in the cheap kinds of salt. The lime in sait, of course, will exist mostly as a chloride,

streaks and giving a soapy texture or flavor to it. Sometimes there is gypsum in the salt, and this has, asI have found the effect of making round spots in the mass of butter wherever there is aspeck of this sulphate of lime. There cannot be too great care taken to procure the purest kind of salt for dairy use, and it should be ground as fine as flour, so that if any imperity does exist in it it may be evenly spread through the butter and thus the color escape injuyy. Hard wa- ter, too, is ud fit for washing the butter on account of the impurities in it being mostly lim¢ ur gypsum, both of which, as Said, are injurious to the butter color.

As the butter is a mixture of oils and lime has a bad effect on all oily substances, making an insoluble soap of the combination between them, not only the salt, but the water, should be perfectly free from this impurity, and hard water isto be avoided in the dairy work. Doubtless some of the patchiness of butter is due to the water used in washing it.

It is not difficult to get rid of the patchy appearance of the butter by working, if it is cautiously done. No amount of direct pressure will injure the texture of the butter. It isthe draw- ing of the ladle over the butter so as to spoil the grannlar texture by which the injury is done. The more butter is pressed by the ladle or the roller of the butter worker the finer will be the grain, the drier the butter will be and the more even the color. It is a good plan to press out the butter at the first working and leaye it in thin leaves, as it were, then sprinkle the finely ground salt, as fine as flour, evenly over the whole surface and leave it so for the salt to work through the mass by solu- tion and absorption, and in 12 hours to turn theve leaves together awd then work out the excess of moisture, or any patchy, marbled color, by frequent fold- ing and pressing, avoiding the least drawing of the ladle or the worker across surface. Of course as the butter is drained it is continually freed from the liquid (which should be clear btine, without a cloud or trace of milk) by pouring it off. Thus the finished butter will be even in color, the salt will be all dissolved and evenly mixed through the masa, abd the color wil! be the same shade all through —HL Stew- art in Cogutr> Gentleman.

There is an hoor when lovers’ lips Lean trembling to a kiss,

There is an heur when lovers’ ears To lightest whispers hark—

The hour whose mystery 6ndears-~ Between the day and dark.

Tho day is all too garish white, he night too dull and blind. The day's wide eye is large and bright, The night’s cold eye unkind.

T’» day is made for listening, re night is cold and cark, But ‘tis the hour when love is king

The day is spie® by honey bees And pricked with feathered wings. The night awakes on every breeze The chirp of woodsy things, But when the night as yet is still And day is lying stark, Then love goes wandering at wil— Between the day and dark. ~—Post Wheeler in New York Press,

PLAIN RULES FOR SPELLING. The Use of the Letters “ei” and “ie” Is Different Words.

The speliing of words in ie and ei causes ® great deal of trouble in the world, and 1 have thought it would be useful if a form- ula could be got up which should cover all such words in an easily remembered jin- gle. Such a rule would perform the same sort of service as the ever useful ** Thirty days hath September.”’

The object of the jingle fs to state every case in which the ‘‘e’’ comes befcre the **i.’’ In all other cases the ‘‘i’’ comes first. It thus becomes a very easy matter when in doubt to rum through the verses and de- cide at once what the spelling in any case is. ‘Che rule may at first seem mixed and not plain. But it is easily understood, and a person who commits it to memory never need have any further trouble on the score of elorie. Itis simply to be noted that there are five cases in which ‘‘e’’ comes before ‘‘i:’’

First.— When the sound is long ‘‘a,”"’

Second.—When the sound is long “‘1.”’

Third—After the letter ‘‘c."’

Fourth.—When, with four exceptions, the sound is short.

Fifth.—In a list of 12 words not includ- ed in the above four cases.

In all other cases ‘‘i’’ comes before "‘e,””

When sound is like long a or i, Or after letter c;

Bave mischief, kerchief, friend and sieve, When like short i or e.

In either, neither, seigror, seize, Obeisance and in sheix,

Inveigle, leisure, weir end weird, In teil, and also cleik.

Reasonable pains have been taken to fake the rule comprehensive, but as there is a chance that some exceptions have failed to be noticed, a few remarks may be necessary.

First.—It is understood that the rule does not apply to words ending in ie, te participles in ied, or to plurals in ies. These hardly give trouble in spelling.

Second.—There are a great inany Scotch words in ei which are pronounced long ‘‘e,”’ but many of them have variant forms, and I judge they would hardly be used by an American unless he were copying from a book. I have, however, included cleik, as it is in use as a golf term.

Third.—Fiery forms a — exception to the long ‘‘i’’ rule, but Webster and Worcester make it a three syllabled word. Pied is evidently a participial form.

Fourth.—There is, of course, no call to include derivatives from those words iy the list, though such words as seigniorage and seizin. are not perfectlg obvious.— H Ward iv New York Times

Women whose faces are disfigured by unsightly eruptions,

imples and

lotches too frequently fail to under- stand that these are but the outward symptoms of inward dis- orders. They resort to var- ious cosmet- ics, oint- ments and powders, not ¢knowing that all the while ’ the troubie is not in the skin, itself, but in the sys- tem. It is sometimes ab- solutely dangerous to use outward applica- tions, for if the skin alone is cleared, the rea] disease is likely to attack some internal organ of the body, where it may prove fatal to life itself. :

In the majority of cases these unsightly skin diseases are due fo two things, weak- ness and disorders of the distinctly femi- nine organism, and impurities of the blood caused by them. The woman who suffers from disease in a womanly way wil! soon éuffer in her general health. Her stomach, liver and other organs will fail to perform their proper functions, with the result that the blood becomes impure. Left to her- self, she will probably resort to cosmetics and ointments. If she consults a physicign he will tell her that the stomach or liver only is at fault, Her distinctly womanly ailment is really the first and only cause. For this she should resort at once to Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It acts di- rectly and only on the delicate and important organs concerned. It makes them strong and well. Then a course of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will purify and enrich the blood, and make her a new wo- man. Medicine dealers sell both remedies,

‘Il cannot say too much for Dr. Pierce's Fa- vorite Prescription,”’ writes Miss Clara Baird, of Bridgeport, Montgomery Co., Penna., ‘for the good it did me. If any one doubts this give them my name and address."’

a ' ee Barbed Wire Burdock,

The rivalry between the different League daseball teams is nothing compared to the bitter feeling which used to exist between the Boston and Providence teams in 1583 and 1884. The players were at swords’ points, particularly the rival second base men, Burdock and Jack Farrell. ‘lhe lat- ter resorteu to all sorts of tricks when he was on hisown grounds in Providence, such as spreading pieces of broken glass near second base and preventing the bBos- tons from sliding by telling them that the glass was there. Farrell also was in the habit of sharpening his spikes to a razor edge, and whenever he reached first base he never failed to show his spikes to Bur- dock, with the warning remark:

“I’m coming down there, and you'll lose a leg if you get in the way!’’

Burdock was at a loss to know how to stop Farrell untilone day a happy thought struck him, He bought a coil of barbed wire, and after he had put on his stock- ings he wound the wire around the calves of his legs. Then he weut out on the fleld and said to Farrell:

‘‘When you slide today, look out for me, or I'll tear you into ribbons.’’ Jack saw the wire and became as meek as a lamb.— New York Sun.
