ter. Question.
To the Editor of the Globe.
SIR,—In your issue of Tan. 16,
We oteerved a letter a from John
Ewing, Molesworth, about "But
ter,' in which we ale appealed to by
name to give information as to the
points of the article: As you are
no -doubt `aware, Mr. Editor, the
butter produced in Western •On
tario _has fallen into such deserved
disrepute that it may fairly be said
to stink in the nostrils of all -who
have to do with it. As Mr.. Ewing
observes, .heretofore dealers "have
travelled round and taken 'it off the
country merchant ; thus merely
shifting
the burden ; but, having
gained 'wisdom by experience, the
former have c.)ncluded not to touch
it, and, as a consequence, the latter
are wincing under the pressure, and
are seeking a: remedy. Some of the
larger towns have appointed Inspec-
tors, which will be of service in so
far as it has •the effect ,of a " rod in
terrorem" to the slack and careless
dairywoman and an encouragement
to the skilful andiainstaking. But
inspecting will - make bad butter
good, nor will its' eep it good .aftete
being placed in the clamp, musty
cellars of merehani.s with oils, paints
and other fragrant; drugs. Neither
will it be any protection. €against;
the careless :and dirty handling by
the merchants' •assistants. •These
two latter evils are not imaginary as
the writer has seen in the cellars of
merchants good yellow butter allow-
ed to lie exposed . to air and light
till it had become bleached and
rancid and then so slovenly handled_
in packing that it had more the ap-
pearance ., e
f cart grease tha,u.of table
`cutter. We are of opuiion—and
we think we are not alone "in it—
that . the poor duality of western
butter is mord directly attributable
to the storekeepers who handle it
than, to the makers. • Biit as thele
sore should be pro'ied to the very
bottom; we give it as our opinion
that butter should be packed as soon
as possible after being made; it is
indispensable that it should be kept
from contact. with air, pure or other-
wise. -The idea of taking butter in
a basket or pail exposed to heat for
miles, then stocking it in a mass in
a cellar, as before described, till it.
suits the pleasure or convenience of
some careless fellow to pack it, and
then to look -for some sweet keeping
butter, is as -reasonable as expecting
to gather " figs of thistles." We
had supposed that nearly everyone
knew the points of good butter ; at
all events, sir; you will agree with
us, that if a man does -not know ne
should not deal ii' • but as t
in , ,they
are asked for, we give them as we
understand the matter : 1st, sweet-
ness;
weet-ness; 2d, solidity, or, as the English
dealers term it, " strong , e. waxy" i. ,
it does not melt in the mouth• like a
snow -flakes and will bear consider-
able exposre-to Weather in transit ;
while weak butter will turn to oil,
3d, mildness, i. e:, not too. salt.
4th, color, which should be rich.
Cheese factories on the whole have
bee a great success in Canada, and
soin of them have attainei a celebri-
ty almost equal to the famed Iierki-
. mer dairies. We think if a similar
plan was tried with butter it would
succeed, and we shall be very pleas
• ed if this suggestion should lead to
testing it.
Whether this plan be adopted or
not, - we think the ,country mer-
chants would' consult their own in-
terests and the farmers' also by
washing their hands of it Let the
farmers pack it and: keep it in their
own properly constructed i milk
houses till it is wanted. If this were
done there would soon be buyers
around after it ; if not it could be
taken to market or fair.
But it will be said, and trnly,
that many farrners.have no suitable
milk -house. We can only say that
if they have not they ought to have,
• for mayhandy man, if he cannot af-
ford- to =build one of brici or stone,
can make one of logs or socls that
will last for years and serve every
purpose.
Hoping that some plan may be
devised to improve the butter of
this country and thus add millions
of dollars to its wealth; we are, &c.,

Leprony: -
Of all afflictions in the catalogue
-of human maladies, leprosy is the
crowner. There are two forms of
3t : One is a reddening, irritable
condition of the skin in patches, a
burning ' sensation with a nearly
•desquamation of they ce icle resemb-
ling flour, which is of n .
a , seen with
us. It seems to be aggravated by
pork. The other .begins with a
spongy festering at the roots of the
nails, and creeps s u the'liitib
p 1'till it
drops off at tee joint. A greenish
pus oozes out, gangreneing as it.
goes. ' Shocking forms of it are niet.
with all over Palestine. It occa-
sionally attacks the bones of the
face, completely Undermining
the
framework of the features.
We saw •a large man in Damascus
walking the streets whose face,was
reduced to the size of a babe's in
consequence of all the maxiliary
props being gone. The museles had
-no leverage. Poor maimed wretches,
victims of that incurable malady,
are met with in Syria minus feet
and hands, eaten off by leprosy still
clinging to life and asking charity.
One street is especially assigned
for them in Jerusalem. There are
two institutions, for: their reception
in Damascus, -.one- for each sex.
Through the day they Wander about
without restraint, but are required.
to• be home at night. _Even. in that'
shocking condition they intermarry
among themselves. They have ex-
iestd from iMdile o m Nidi time in that
coil n try. They were coeumonin
the. days of the Saviour. Still more
extraordinary, in that loathsome
state they live to an advanced old;
age. The same disease has been
transferred to -some of the West In-
dia Islands and Newfoandland, re-
quiring special legislation to keep it
from being propagated.
Medical science has been stagger-
ed with leprosy. A bold, determin-
ed, skilfel physician' ought to grap-
ple the; problem. What an unex-
plored ' field for acquiring profes-
sional distinction ! -
Longevity.
King William TV. had spoken
with a man in his early life who had
conversed with King Charles II.,
-the merry monarch. In' 1786 a
person was alive who had conversed
with a man who, when a boy, bad
carried arrows for soldiers the night
before the bloody battle of Flodden
Field. Another about 1862, whose
great great
grandfather saw
King
Charles I. beheaded, was living.
No public exeuction was evermore
atrociously conducted or barbarously
performed than that of. the celebrat-
ed. Duke of Monmouth irr 1685. It
was allsolutely shocking to the,moral
sensj of the spectators. For a long
time it was to epoch to reckon from
by elderly persons. The -execu don
-
et- struck several mows with an
axe, but the body continuing to
Move, he threw down the ponder-
ous instrument, exclaiming, " 1
can't do it ; my heart fails me."
The axe was -again caught and sev-
eral mete blows given without
se. ening he` pea . To intensify rhe
horror of ;the appalling scene, a
knife was 'actually resorted to for
finally severing the duke's head
from "his writhing body, bound to
the block. No wonder an event so.
shocking should Lave been long re-
membered.
All over Europe very aged per-
sons are found, as in America, but
none that come up to the patriarch: -
al years of Henry Jenkins, who died
in-111670—one hundred and sixty-
nine years old. Thomas Parr died
in England, 1635, at the age of one
hunrlred and fifty-eight. He testi-
fied in court in regard to a transac-
tion that took place one hundred
and forty years before. r
Some of the longest lived men and
women of these latter days are found
in Russia and anion;' the Bedouin
Arabs. We have seen some of those
ancient re presentative Tshmaelites,
supposed by those most familiar
with their customs and habits to be
more than one hundred and: thirty,
dating from circumstances they re-
ferred to in youth, and yet they
were . vigorous, managing their
camels with a strong 'arm and man-
ifesting a characteristic desire for
buckaheesh, one of the first and last
words of those roviiig robbers of the
desert.
Light..
According to the theory general-
ly received at present,' the whole
universe is an immeasurable sea of
highly -attenuated matter, impercep
tible to the senses, in which the
heavenly bodies move with scarcely
any impediment. This fluid, which
is called ether, fills the whole of
space --fills the intervals between
the heavenly bodies, as well, as the
pores- or interstices between the
atoms of a substance. The smallest
particles of ohis-s ibtle matter are in
constant vibratory motion ; when
this motion is- communicated :to the
retina. of the eye, it produces, if the
impression upon the nerves"be suffi-
ciently strong, a sensation which we
call light. Every -substance, there-
fore, which sets the ether in power-
ful ,vibration, is Numinous; strong
vibrations are perceived.as intense
light, and weak vibrations as,- faint
light, but both of them proceed
from the luminous object at the ex-
traordinary speed of 186,000 miles
in a second, and they necessarily di
-
I ruinish in strength in proportion -as
they spread themselves, over a great-
er space. Light is not, therefore, a
separate substance, but only the vi-
bration of a substance, whi3h -ac-
cording
, C
cording to its various forms of mo-
tion, generates light, heat, or elec-
tricity.--Front
