The cow should be kept clean, the food ehould be clean, the stahle must ba clean, tile milk, crealn, pails, Wainer, churn, worker—in feet, everything about the deity including the came or persono working In It, shoula be a model of cleanliness. Clean- liness and intelligence are two requisites for sueoessful butterinaking. Tits Cow. —Keep none but good cows, each of which will make at leust 250 pounds of butter in a year. Feed the cows thatyou have liberally, house comfortably, care for kindly, and milk regultsrly. Clive pure water only, and keep salt where lb eau be reached by the eows at all times, Having done all this, dispose of those blusb do not attain to the standard. Utheerseas.—Proeure -proper utensils, because with the best theta is a great deal of labor in making butter. Amon them be sure to include a good dairy thermometer. (A. glass one preferred.) The following is a lIst of most of the artolos required in an ordinary farm dairy, together with their probable mat : A barrel or box churn, size to suit herd 50 07 to 131( 139 A lever or roller worker 000 to 900 A butter mould—size, 3 002 lbs1 50 to 3 00 A. shipping box, with ice box in centre and wooden (trays)... ,1 75 to 900 A thermometer (glass) 0201-0 960 A salt sieve (bale) 1.0 to 150 A pair settee, to weigh quarter ounces 5 00 to 10 00 A bubtern.ilk etrainer—sizo 2 10 1 quarts, with perforated tin bot. tom 0 25 to 000 A butter ladle 010 to 0 De 4. cream pail (tin, with handles on sides and tin stirring spoons) 1 00 to 200 Creamer cans nnd box for cold water 18 cows) 090 to 10 09 A. hand cream separator (10 or more co)1s) 19000 to 125.00 RUIN:rush for cleansing Men - sits 0 20 to 030 A supply of washing soda or borax A supply of good butter salt, per sack 070 to 200 Butter color, if thought advisable • to use lb, per bottle 0 25 to 109 or per gallon 500 Islimc Herm—A dry cool cellar of uni. form temperature, f ree from bat/smell or smell of vegetablee, is a very good plaoe in which to keep milk. 'Milk or butter when kept forany length of thee where anch steel's ex- ist, quickly becomes tainted and lessened in value. A milk house with double walls may be eonstructed quite cheaply. A pan- try or a cupboard is not the beet place In which to keep milk. Memetwo —Milk only where theair is pure; brush the cow's udder before commenoing ; tnilk rapidly and quietly ; strain im- mediately, and get to the place of setting or separating as soon ite possible. SETTIX0.—Sol the milk vvhile it is warm. Set in creamers or deep pails. These are better than shallow pans, especially in sum- mer. Put the cans in water at from 40 to 45 degreee—keep It at that temperature— and skim at the end of 12 hours in summer and 24 hours in minter. A water -tight box about two feet deep will be a convenient place in which to put the pails where a creamer ie not used. Cans may be used which ftee either put wholly under the water or set in water which is as high as the milk in the can. If shallow pans aro used, ekim al the and of 24 hours tn summer and 96 hours in win- ter, and always before the milk becomes sour and thick. Keep the tentperature of the milk room evon at from 50 to 60 de- grees. A band cream separator will pay with a herd of ten or more cows.

LORD STA.NLEVS FAMILY. A illimpse Into the Olslory of the Earls of The Earldom olnDerly et).b; stands second. nn the roll of English Earls and while the ehrawsbury peernge tees 130 litigation, the gia !father of the preemie Lord Derby tette the Premier Earl of England. The founder of the Stanleys like that of the hottees of Cavendish anti of Beaufort, first =nes into notice by the fact that he could not Use his anceetrai tante of DeAtelley. Toe name of Stalky was, therefore, and for very obvious reasons, taken ft OM a manor named Stan. lelgh or atoneleigle Ito Stafford:shire, whith canto to hint by inerriege, A descendant, Jobri Stanley, married the 'mimes 01 the Lathams, whose crest of the eagle and Child he took instead of the proud smuts:I-mon of the Normen de Audleys, and witioh ie still need by the family of Lord Derby, the idea doubtlese being derived from the whimsical legend that Sir Neiman Latham was fed when a baby in an eagle's nests It was by this heiress of the Lathams that they first obtained a colt of arms as well as their 119W ancestral home of Knowsley. By this marriage with the Latham heiress there were three sons named, respectively, John, Thomae, end Ralph Stanley, John became O lawyer and coaxed several valuable am poietments out of the King's son, Thomas, do Lanoaster, who, in order to get rid of him, finally rentnmended Stanley to Henry V. for office in Ireland, where he abundant- ly enriched himself. Thomas remained in England and eugaged in the Lancastrian wars, playing limited the house of Lances. Lor, at wiles° table he was fed and whose partronage had enriched him, a pert whiell reflects but little luster on his name or character. Another Themes Lord Stanley, after getting all he could out of the Meuse of Lancaster "rat tea "to that of Yorx, tem favoring one faction, now (mother, and at length making a feint of being neutral to. ward all, in the hope of being able to work both sides to his own &dean tap. He nobly took Richard's pay while stabbing Richard in the hack. While he was getting manors and castles from Richard III., Stanley wee secretly betraying his plans to Henry with whom he had a secret understanding, and whose mother he had already married. Be- ing duly commismaned by the king to raise forces in his aid, he was dishonorably aiding the King's enemies, end like the Hemiltons in the case of Douglas, he at a critical mo. meet on the field of Bosworth by one bold and brilliant coup crowned his treathery in suddenly changing sides on the field. With ell the wanton and newly -found zeal of a recreant he struck the crown from this pa- tron) Richard's helmet and placed it upon the head of his successor afterward Henry VII. The fottunes of the Stanleys were made from that moment Nearly all the con flseated estates of the Yorktsts fell to the two Stanleys, and the Earldom of Derby, which had heretofore been borne by an an- cient and legitimately descended femily, was revived in favor of Thomas Stanley. The title has since eeisted to commemorate itt our minds this colossal act of trafteRery four centuries ago. All the subsequent history of the Hauge of Stanley is bat a modification, in more or less adaptable and convenient form, of this inherent feature M their early character. As Earls of Derby the same mubability and disregard of honorable prinoiples distin. guished them as they had previously dia. played as knights and as court favorites. The first Earl of Derby after the battle of Bosworth married the sister of Warwick, " the King -maker," and ousted the Soropee oat of their rights in the Isle of Man, whioli the Stauleys immediately usurped, styling thetnselves Kings of (Ilan. But the third Earl WAS even, a better model of incon. staney. Ile was in early years a ward of Cardinal Wolsey's who eves one of the trustees to his father's will. He got crept - ed a Knight of the Bath by Henry VIII, for sending Pope Clemeet VLT. spirited remenstranee respecting his vecil. Haden and delay in the celebrated divorce ease of Anne of Olives, Under the King's son, afterward Edward VL, he accordingly becatne a commissioner to propagate the Reformed faith,. -which he embraced with w a great e of religions fervor. Ceder -" Bloody Mary" he, hotv- ever, at once deserted it, and ?gain veering around with unwonted Nutt. unsm, cetielly delivering Protestants to be butchered or burned at the stake. In the reign of Elizabeth he onee more elianged sides, now limiting Cetholics to death and peraecution with the same fiendish malt - lay as lie !tad .formerly done in the the case of Protestante, ander Queen Mary. Now lee us panse to contemplate tne kind of" honor "displayed by this man in the various attitudes of (I) award of Wolsey's, (2) a (vesture of Raney's', (,,)a commissioner for affecting confiscations under Edword,(4) as Lord High Executioner for Mary, and finally enforcing an odious °Mil of sepreni- aey against-, his fortnee co.religionists and upon all who aspired for °eke tinder Queen Elizabeth. We can then, perhaps, realize how the family of Stinky survived through every changing scone during these troubled periods, how they wore always utilizing every event to advance the Stanleys, and were hover long trusted by either king or minister or people. In the days of the Stuarts another earl was a rampant Puritan, beb when that remarkable mid high-prin. eipled body were called upon to suffer for them principles by death or exile, my: Lord of Darby deserted the Puritans and spilled the Royalists. With Prince Rupert he at tacked Bolton in Lancashire, and after the siege was over mit men,women and children to the sword. Up to this period the House of Derby immeusely profited by an unbroken course of terethery, but here ft unexpectedly received an irreparable cheek, and this Seta enth Earl, (who by the way is called. the Greet Earl of Derby et Knowsley) and who fled after the Butchery at 13olton to his home in the fele of Man, was pursued, arrested, Red executed, at the Market place of Bolton, and on the very (mot where, a year before, tender babies and aged men end women had vainly pleaded for mercy from his Royalist fury. When preparing for death he had the irreverence to order supper, saying, " like the Savior, a supper shall be my last act on earth," and when on the scaffold he called the crowd to witness thee he did "for Gott the King, and the Iowa" A lusty English republican of the period within hearing shouted, " Away I we have no king and we'll have no leards." The Stanleys lost newly all they grabbed during previous reigns isi the Civil War. Their royalties in the Isle of M.an were con- fisceted or sold, and Knowsley and Latham were reduced to ashes, Even Cherlee IL, either dietrustful or jealous of the family, refused to reatore &bout half the estates of the Stanloye, and although Parliment passed an eat of redemption, he positively declined to sign It. Over the door tet Know. sky, in addition to the Stanley arms, are still preserved lines indignantly censuring the laing for not redeeming the estates, mid Steeloy Was not wholly bad. About the end of the last cautery the twelfth Earl—the famone fonndor of the Derby and the Oaks, known to the world of horse raeing—had the good fortune to modify the bent of his family by marriage with 1111 actress 1101110t1 Fearon from the County Cork.

A Remarkable Astronomical Peat. Two persons may be born at the same place and at the same moment exactly, and yet, after fifty years have rolled aroand they may botlt die at the same instant, an still one may be more. than 100 days olde than 000 other. I think I hear some one see, "impossible," and "15037 could 01011 a state of affairs be brought about 1" but it is ttot impossible; 10 10 simply a curious 001noto- oonioat aud geographical fact, very easily proven. A calm reflection ehows that this oddity turns on a very obvious probletn in circumnavigation. Suppose, now, that bwo persons were born at the same instant in Philadelphia frotn whence a trip around the world may easily be made in one year; if one of these persons constantly goes toward the west, in tifty years he will be fifty ditys behind the stationary inhale. itants ; if the other sails equally as fast to- ward the east he will be fifty days ahead of them, One, therefore will have seen 100 days more that the other, though they were born at, the same instant, lived continually in the same latitude, aud died together. A Home -Made Cleaning Fluid. For the information of a correspondent - who wishes to know of some preparation for cleaning a cerpet of grease spots, we give the following recipe for making cleaning fluid, reconuneuded by a corm. spoudent. Shave two ounces of evhite Castile soap into a pint of water, and set over the fire until it has dissolved ; then add two more quarts of water, two ounces of ammonia and one ounce each of rlyeerine and ether. Let it cool, end cork up tightly in bottles. When you wish to use shake up and put a teacmpful 10(0 819 quarts of water; sponge with a :piece of flannel and rub dry with a eleau pees. To clean 0 very- dirty garment, with many grease spots, use a cupful of the fluid to a quart of wetter, and sponge after- ward with cleats water, This to a most excellent witshing mixture 1, 01>0 proportion of one part of the fluid to twelve parts of water, for woolen and flannel dresses. This, the eorreepotident says, ia cheaper and more satisfactory than the purchased deeming fluids and pastes. An Unexpected. Recognition, A good story ie told of the late judge Wrixon, of Melbourne.

One of the most frequent deformaties against which WOMOU must coutineally fight, eapecielly mothers with young children, hi thet of round shoulders and a stooping fig- ure. Just observe how many such there are in any gathering.

Teachers of physical culture say this may be entirely rectified by a very simple and easily performed orcercien, that of raising ono's self upon the toes leisurely in a peepers- dionlar position several times daily, To do this properly, one must be irt a pertectly up. eight position, with the heels togothet aud the toes at an angle of 45 degrees, dropping he arms by the side, Ilfloting and raising he chest to its full camaeity is a part of the Itemise, a process which the lungs soon be. in to show.

The inspection of the Boston Board of Fire Underwriters has promulgated a new code of rules applying to electric risks. Hereaf ter the board will approve of only non combestible supports for electric light wires, and there mint be no opportunity of conneetion with any Mot properly insulated wires: Mr, Nikola Testa has die:covered the little • known mineral earborundum to be superier to any other except the diamond notwith- standing the strata nf eleotrie curreuts of high frequency, while its cost is compara- tively trifling.

The experiment of using electricity in place of steam on a standard gauge railroad 10 tO be tnarle at Ellwood, Poe, on the Beaver & Ellwood Railroad from Ellwood to Ell- wood Junction, a distance of three miles from Pittsburg, where connection is made with the Pennsylvania road. The electric ears will be run over the same track useds by the present stee.m oars. Eleetrie headlights are coming extensive- ly into use on steam locomotives. It is re- ported that one Indianapolis house alone has already placed seventy of these lights on nine different roads:, and has an order for an equiptnent of the engines of the "Royal blue" trains between New York and Washington, on the Philadelphia and Reading road, with electric headlights. According to the statement of Prof. George Forbes of London, ab the N. Y. meeting of the American Institute of Elea- trical haigineers, electric lighting la conduct- ed in England in a more substantial and satisfactory manner than in America; bat he was equally positive that in electric traa- don his country WAS lamentably behind- haud,—owing to opposition to the overhead trolley system. A Dentist recently complained to an elec- trician that certain of his instruments, save painful shooke to his patients at &mere touch to a sound tooth. Oa experiment, they found that this resulted only with in- struments which were entirely metallic, or were without insulated handles; and fur- ther experiment showed that the shocks occurred when the dentist had walked on his carpeted floor immedtately previous to applying the instruments. He had thee charged his body with electricity. For three years past there hes been be operation a telephone and eleetrio light line combination. The circuit is sometimes used for both pueposes simultaneously ; the interference being so slight as to be barely - noticeable. The circuit is supplied by' 017015010 and accumulators, producing a ten or twelve ampere current ; znd the vocal annuls are produeed by the slight variation of this current caused by the transmitter. The device of a Scotch manufaeturer of electrie.light poles, for means of &se:endings thent, consists of a simple elealmniam in- side the shaft of the pillar by which at the turn of a key or handle, or the movement of a levee outside of the base, steps are shot out from the sides of the shaft sufficiently far to form a safe and strong ladder. These ateps, when closed, are arranged to form. part of the ornament of the shaft, or they can be made to form part of the Wain or fluted surface. A Frenchman named D'Arsonval has been experimenting with a torpedo fieh, and con- cludes diet the electricity with which this animal gives its shock is produced by the expansion and contraction of the muscles of the fish. He found that the fish was capable of giving a discharge of about two amperes et 100 volts pressure, the creature produc- ing the current only when it rolled itself into a circle with the object of attack be - tweets its head and tail. Oue danger from electricity is often over— looked, remarks a contemporary. Whsna. fracture takes place in a wire and moisture becomes condensed upon the broken part of the wire, the electrical eurrent produces tho electrolysis of the weter—that is to say, the water becomes decomposed into its con - station!, parts of oxygen and hydrogen, and. that in the exact proportions uressary to product° a most violent explosion, very much neere violeub than that produced. by- ral gas and oxygen. The process continue ng, and a spark ultimately being produced, the electric wire thus becomes its own gaa producer and ite own exploder as well. Old Fowls. "S. E.
