Cheating with Butter and
Cheese.
The feeling in regard to imitation but-
ter is so intense and bitter that the sub-
fect-in one way and -another occupied
fully; hall the time at the recent meeting
ef the New York State Dairymen's
Assoniation, and sentiment was perfectly
smite(' in favor of wiping outand punish-
ing fraudulent sales. Every man favor-
ed pinseoutione of offenders against the
law as it now steads, but opinions differ-
ed touchiug legislation looking to pro-
hibition of manufacture n,nd sale under
any conditions. The Dairy Commis-
sioner reported a hopeftil 'progress and
some 200 pending suits for violation of
the law.
That official considers the manufacture
of lengus butter pretty much driven out
of the State, but does not indieate an
equal success in curtailing sales. Upon
the announcement that the war against
*leo last year cost $30,000, and $50,000
the current- year—which the •Commis -
goner thought ought to h ve been $120,-
000 --some of the member with a con-
servative and economic turn, while
cheering the Commissione lustily, could
not forbear querying ii undertones
when, if ever, the enemy 'would be anni-
hilated andthe tax cease or whether it
in to be a growing incub s, to continue
indefinitely.
A good point was made
speakers in respect to t
the laa- requiring bogus
to be so branded as to sh
are. It was considered to
a fraud to sell skim c
cream cheese, as to sell o eo for butter,
and that it more effectually cheats the
, consumers. If bogus cheese is not quite
so loathsome as adulterated butter, the
former, from being comparatively indi-
gestible, is more unwholesome and less
useful than the latter and consequently
more fraudulent. It is no excuse for
makers and dealers in skim -cheese to say
that everybody who deals in it knows
what he is handling. The oleo men can
say as much.
It is the consumers, not the dealers,
who get cheated in either case, and they
are as much entitled to protection in the
one case as in the other. The cheese
-wing of the dairy interest is as much in -
lured by the fraudulent sale of skim
cheese as the butter branch by the sale
of bogus butter. The consumption of
poor cheese always goes slow, and the
poorer it is the longer it lasts. Those
who take skim cheese thinking it full
cream come to suspect that all cheese is
no better than what they have on hand,
and they cease to buy at all, or make
purchases so small and so seldom as
greatly curtail the consumption.,
These views were so clearly enforced
eta so evidently sound that no one ques-
tioned them, but no action was taken to
correct the mischief. An energetic com-
mittee ought to have been appointed to
make a vigoroue effort for a repeal of the
clause of the law which exempts skim
cheese from the necessity of being brand-
ed as such. It is not only an injury,but
an open disgrace to the whole dairying
fraternity to ask that the State protect
them at a cost of $50,000 a year against
frauds in the transactionsiof competitors,
and at the same time to ask that fraudu-
lent transactions of precisely the same
nature practised by a large class -of
dairymen be allowed to continue. The
makers of henest full cream cheese ought
to take action in this matter.—Prof. L.
B. Arnold, in N. Y. Tribune.
Lord Shaftesbury on Religion
for the Working Classes.
• About a year before the death of the
late Lord Shaftesbury he had a conver-
sation with a correspondent of the "Pall
Mail Gazette," in which he gave very
freely, and in an interesting way, the re-
sults of his observations , and extended
work among the laboring lass. By his
request his remarks were not printed
during his lifetime, but have just been
made public. We quote some of the
most striking passages:
" Of the working class there do not at
present more than two per cent. attend
either church or chapel, but it would be
great mistake to conclude from that
statement that only two per cent. of the
working class have any religious
There is a curious prejudice on the part
of the laboring poor against going to any
regular place of worship. They have a -
strange idea that if they attend either
church or chapel they would be bound to
revolutionize the whole of their life, and
. .
to accept with Implicit faith eery doc-
trine which they may hear stated from
the pulpit. If the religious poor wish to
attend divine worship they organize ser-
viees of their own in upper rooms and in
warehouses or disused hails, where every
Sunday they hold religious services of
their own. I collected in my drawing -
room some time ago no fewer than sixty
workingmen, each of who, unknown to
any other, was holding services every
Sunday and week -day ine-arious parts of
London, entirely without any support or
assistance from any organized religious
bodies; and these men that I -discovered
were preaching every week to two thou-
sand souls. The order of worahip at
these meeting places is very simple. The
Bible is read and explained, a homely
address is delivered ; remarks are ex-
ahaaged among thoseepresent, and sev-
eral engage in prayer and the service
closes. I have sometimes attended these
little gatherings in the lower quarters of
Londomand I have been surprised by the
power and fervency of the devotion, and
the intelligent exposition of the divine
word. Every one of these self -constitut-
ed chapels no doubt does a very good
work in its own way, and the church in
particular is daing now very much
better work in very many ways
than anyone would hav'e believed possi-
• le eighty yeers ago. But they are sad-
ln deficient in aggressive spirit, and they
are far too much taken up looking after
their own people. They seem to imagine
that it is siifficient to open a building and
let it be known that religion can be had
there, whereas that has never sufficed,
and will never suffice to bring the masses
to religion. Now, as in the days of old,
you
must go into the highways and. the
byways and compel_ thenn to come in.
The working classes have never -come
. and will never come in when things are
as they are to day. If tke masses of the
people =ere to be brought into the fold of
organized Christianity, the whole e'en-
ception of the duty of the church must
be changed. There must be active, ag-
gressive work ; open-air preaching ;house
to house visitation; and, in short, every
means employed to bring the truth
-home to the hearts and consciences of
all those who are lathe neighborhood.

employed for benefiting and elevating

Canadian Horses.
goodly number of gentlemen inter -
d in horseflesh met in the grand jury
of the court house, on Friday
moon of last week,- and discussed
starting of a new stud book for
registration of Canadian horses not
admitted to the regular books,
also one for Cleveland bays. On
on Mr. John McMillan, reeve of
lett, was appointed chairman, and
Jas. Mitchell, of the Star, acted as
etary.
Ir. McMillan opened the discussion by
ractical speech in fairer of the tnove-
me t. When first spoken to on the
su ject he had felt opposed to it, but

convinced him that 'these books

sity. tinder present arrangements a
e nreportion of our best Canadian
hoiaes could not be registered in exist-
ing books, and in consequence they did
not sell at their best fieures,particularly
in American markets. A similar state
of 'affairs in Scotland had led to the
es ablishment of a new andl special stud
b ok, and now he knew of dealers there
w o were shipping horses in droves of
thirty and forty to the Western States
to the exclusion of equally good horses
fr m Canada, which were unregistered.
• H strongly urged the -forniation of the
Eoposed books, as certain to secure
ilefits not only to Canadian dealers,
b t to our home farmers and breeders,
W o would find a greater demand and
tter prices.
Mr. J. J. Fisher and other gentlemen
al o supported this view, citing specific
c ses where higher prices were offered'
b intending buyers if owners would
s cure registration, but this being im-
p ssible 'under the rules governing the
r gular books, the lower prices had to be
t ken.
After Igeneral discussion it was re-
s hied to appoint a board of provisional
-
d rectors, who would draw up rules for

1St. Marys has not always .been the
temperance town it is to -day. About
thirty yearsago the temperance move -
Ment was -lohledi upon: with supreme
disrespect and temperance lecturers, as.
such were not considered the - greatest
benefactors ' of Mankind. To Mr. K.
Junor we are indebted -for an account of
the first tem peranee lecture delivered in
this town, which, We think, will prove.
interesting to our readers as an evidence
of the great change- Which society in the
stone town has undergone. About thirty
years ago Mr. Skinner, memorable as
the organizer of the first Presbyterian
congregation in this 'neighborhood, un-
dertook to deliver ja temperance lecture,
and asked Mr; Junor to secure the Pres-
byterian church for • the occasion. Mr.
Junor made 'applidation to the elders for
the use of the bilildiug and was bluntly
told that he "could na hae it for any
sic purpose." Mr. Junor then asked the
minister to announce the lecture as be-
ing about to be delivered in the old
town hall, and was told to do it himself.
Mr. Junor did announce the lecture,
thereby incurringi no small amount Of
enmity, which exhibited.' itself in an un-
mistakeble manner. Mr. Junor was
then in business in town and had a small
store in which he berried on a boot and
shoe trade. On the morning following
the lecture the chimney surmounting the
little store was puled down and a por-
tion of the fo.undatiOn removed, while
the unfortunate in!oprietor was caution-
ed that the next time he committed him-
self to such a cause the whole building.

were the days when whisky was good

Catarrh—a New. Treatment.
Perhaps the most extraordinary success that
has been achieved in modern medicine has been
attained by the Dixon Treatment for Catarrh.
Out of 2,000 patients treated during the past six
months, fully ninety per cent, have been cured
of this stubborn malady. This is none the less
startling when it is reinembered that no five per
cent. of patients presenting themselves to the
regular practitioner are benefitted, while the
patent medicines and other advertised cures
never record a cure at all. Starting with the
claim riow geberally believed by the most scien-
tific men that the disease s due to the presence
of living parasites in the tissue, Mr. Dixon at
once adapted his cure to;their extermination—
ehis accomplished, he claims the Catarrh is prac-
tically cured, and th permanency is unquestion-
td, as cures effected , y him four years ago are
cures still. No on else has ever attempted to
cure Catarrh in thi manner, and no other treat,
ment has ever cured Catarrh. The application
of the remedy is simple, and can be done at
home, and the present Beeson of the year is the
most favorable for &Speedy and permanent euro, ,
the majority of easels being cured at one treat-
ment. Sufferers shorild correspond with Messrs.
