Our relations to domestic animals, are so
intimate andoonsequentisl that any abuse
of them is injury and lnauatice to ourselves.

maladioa among domestic animals are plain.

mused byour grana mismanagement.
Sheep shorn and turned out to lie on frosty
ground or shiver in cold raina ; horses driv
en and left in chilly currents; cattle evert-
ed and underfed, oompelied to breathe bad
air and lie in their own filth; Sonatlpate by
getting nothing but dry food, then weaken
ane depleted by getting nothing but the
ed
greenest of food ; these miedemeanore and
many more like them deprive our domestic
animale of half their power to serve us,,
Milk and meat should dome from -perfectly
healthy animals ; intelligent butchers knew
very well.there•are other aouroes of supply,
Hoge were made omniverona, not graniver-
one ; fed exclusively on corn they are unfit
for food. Whether Moser: was whimelcal or
not, those lumps of organized adipose that
grunted and breathed bad air about aa long
as their sluggish circulation and weakened
vital forces' would have let them, even if
the hutobere hadn't interfered, ahonldbe re,
noted by Chrietlans, as well as by, Jews.
j We hear of hog oholera—that outrage on
nature, exolusive corn diet, occasions or ag-
gravates it. Filthy water, made worse by
their own filth; full of bacteriaand malarial
poisons that come frena vegetable and ani
mai deoxy, is all the drink which some hors
get at the season of the year when their
thirst is greatest. Every organ of the body,
every vital force etricea and draggles to re-
sist the poieon—sometimes with partial auc-
oesa. but often the unequal struggle ends in
be death of whole herds of swine. 'Cattle
plagues, like hog cholera, always follow after
and never, go before loose methods. When
cattle that existed for months on the border
line of life and death—now buried in snow ;
now drifting before the blizzard ; now stif-
fened with hod ;'now terribly collapsed for
want of food ; now feverish with thirst that
cannot be quenched—end their troubled ex
latenoe with "pleuro -pneumonia," or any
affection of lungs, heart, liver, kidney,
nerves, muscles, akin or boner), nobody will
be surprised at it, who has common sense
and ventures to use it.
The civilized world sheuld enter indig-
nant protest against the abuse of dumb
brutes. The law should punish" tranegres-
sore much oftener than it does. The absurd-
ity is reached when people consent to be
taxed to " stamp out" what carelessness and
cupidity brought in i the height of audacity
is reached when the mischief -makers pro-
pose such a tax. Every farm needs cattle ;
the cattle businese should be distributed,
the big herds broken np, civilized treatment
adopted, and there will be little stamping
out to do. If any stamping must be done,
let the town cfficialeinvestigate and see who
created the necessity ; send the bill to him.
Large holdings of land, great herds of cit•
tle, managed loosely as they always are and
will be, are contrary to "public policy ;" it
is criminal in us to encourage such things
by relieving the offending party from any
disabilities they have created. Let us make
sin odious and unprofitable.

How to Manage Roll Butter.
A Western dairyman sends out to his
customers the following directions for hand-
ling roll butter :
"One cause why roll butter is so low
now, as well as in the past few years, le
because of its poor keeping qualities, and
so many country merobante, as receivers,
do not understand handling it, and the
retailers prefer bntterine to roll that has
been exposed to the air and the smell of all
the goods in the store.
To handle roll butter successfully and have
it retain some of he freshness tili sold, you
must wrap each roll in muslin that has been
washed to get out the sizing and dipped in
a strong salt brine. The brine will crystal-
lize over the muslin and help to keep the
air from it ; and if you pack in boxes, lin:
the box in like manner with muslin an
pack close, se as not to shake while in tram
nit ; and be sure and not to pack po r rolls
with.the goon—you had bettor put hem in
the grease tub, or fling them out of the back
door—and byall means ship
your
butter
fresh. Do not hold for a higher market, as
seine do, and sell it for grease. It yon
are ready to meet the market price accord•
ing to quality, as it is sold in large mar-
kets, then you will make by 'selling.
A Melancholy Wedding.
At the Novgorod prison chapel (says the
RnssianPetorbargskia Gazette) a couple was
recer}tly married. A young fellow of the
name of Znmizki, who had been sentenced"
te a term of imprisonment for fourteen years
and six months with hard labour, married
a young girl who was the daughter of a
soldier, Yefremoff, and had only been re
leased from the Novgorod prison at the be-
ginnirg of the present year. Znmizki had
told hie brother pf his intention to marry,

Puttine Up Things For Summer.
I have found the best way of putting.
away things for summer to be as follows
11 you have not a regular camphor trunk
that is a cheat made of camphor wood
take an ordinary trunk or chest that is well
oovered, eo that it is perfeotly tight, and
put a layer of camphor gun, in the bottom
of it. .Do up each article separately in a

deal• of confidence on this matter, for I nave

have never had a moth get into a thing
that was se protected.
Blankets I simply fold as large as poser
blo to fit the trunk, avoiding more creases
than is necessary, and lay them on bot-
tom of the trunk, without putting into pa -
pore, placing bite of camphor between
scar

the blankets, I put in the woolen under-
clothing, etc., then in another trunk the

coats, these being done up in newspapers,

cloaks small piecse of the camphor gum,
Far the removal of grease stains in inch
heavy fabrics as oarpeta, the moat effectual
methods, I think, will, be to use absorbent
materials, such as potter's clay, powdered
aoapstone,or buckwheat flour, Saoaassive
applioatione of one or the other ofthese
will finally a000mplish the desired' result.
The use of betzine, naphtha, turpentine, or
other solvents re not to be recommended,
as, owing to the thickness of the material,
it will be next to impossible to prevent the.
solvent from spreading the grease over a
large erraace, leaving' an ugly looking ring
aboutthe spot where it was applied.
Cold boiled rice may be utilizmd to make
hot cakes for breaktaat. ,To every two cups
of rice add a quarter of a cap of flour, one
egg, a tablespoonful of sugar , and enough
milk or water to make into a batter. Fry
In bot drippings in small, round cakes and
eat with maple syrup. ,
Before washing flannels, have the dust
carefully beaten out of them in the open
air. Then they are not scalded out in
water muddy with their own duet, For
that matter, a daily beating eni brushing
out of an upper story window should be the
rule for all cloth skirts and all woolen
tresses that are in daily wear.
An excellent dish for breakfast is made
of six eggs and three tablespeonfuls of ham
chopped very fine; beat in the eggs and,
after molting a lump of butter in the frying -
pan, drop the eggs into it and stir the ham
in ; the ham has of course, been cooked,
either filed or boiled ; season with pepper.
This is a good way to use up pieces of meat
that are left from dinner.
Choice Receipts.
Were yon, me dear girls, to go Into a'
rose garden to pluck a bud or flower, would
you, I ask, would you ohoose the one that
is soiled and jagged on the edges, which,
though still' a rose, has Iost its purity and
first bloom! No, a thousand times no 1
Nothing bat the perfect flower in a'l its
sweetness and purity would satisfy yon, the
least soil on its delicate leaves would utter•
ly bar it from your choice, and yet, fair
maidens, (the buds and flowers of Goats
earthly gardens) will soil and wilt their puri=
ty and sweetness by acting a falsehood, by
aping a pasaion that when real is a gift
from the Divine, but when otherwise is one
of the many arta rued by the arch -deceiver
to lure weak human -kind to destruction.
In conclusion, I would merely say. let
every girl's highest ambition be to be a lady,
nay, rather a woman, in thought word and
deed; by so doing she will help to stampout
one of the great evils of the day, and will
raise herself in the estimation of every right
thinking person ; her own coneclence will
uphold her, and firm and devoted friends
be her reward, a reward which will never
follow an early life spent in flirting, whether
or ''fun" or otherwise.

A very remarkably story about the
Abbe Liszt has j est been revived by hie
presence in London. It narrates that a
young and ambittoua pianist, Mille. X---,
when about to give a concert in Vienna,
some twenty yesra ago, audaciously an-
nounced herself on her afches, as a pupil
of the Abbe. She was not such; had
never seen Liszt, in fact. Just before.
tho day of the concert among the names
of the arrivals at a certain hotel in the
city, she was terrified to read that of
" the Abbe Liszt." What was she to do ?
To confess her fraud. openly at the outset
of her musical career would be to crush
it at once. A straightforward plan sum
gested itself. She went to the hotel,';;ask-
ed to see the Abbe, and threw herself on
his mercy. Liszt asked her a few ques-
tions, arid then requested her to play ono
of the, pieces elle intended to perform at
the concert. While she did so he stood
over her, suggesting a panne here, or cor-
recting a forte there. = At the conclusion
of the piece Liam said, "Now Mademoi-
aelio, you can truthfully say that yen are
a pupil of Liszt ; for you have had your
first lesson. You may also put on your
programs that you will be assisted by
your master, who will play two pieces at
your concert." Liszt kept hie promise,
the concert was a• superb success, and
Mille. --'a reputation was at once saved
amid made. She died a few years ago.

Boys, Help:
Boys, when you come into the house
for your meals, and find the dinner or
supper not quite ready, and your mother
and sisters hurrying around, warm and
tired, instead of atanding about in the
way, leaning against the sink or tilting
back in your chair against" the buttery
door, you should take hold and help the
women folks. At first, may be, you
won't see any way that you eau help them,
unless you were brought up to work occa-
sionally in the hoose. Try an experiment

then lift it again to drain off the water.
Certainly, you could do that for her :
Yon can take the pot of meat or beans
from the oven and thus save much of her
strength. You can set the chairs up and
run down cellar for the butter or bread ;
yon can glance over the table and see if a
