ItnnciU Butter.
Cue of ihe principal causes of butte
becoming rancid is the buttermill
contained in it. If butter be churnei
until compacted, no amount of wash
ing will rid it of all the milk. It is
therefore, important that churoinj
cease while the butter is in agranulu
ted state. It can then be washe
comparatively free of butter milk. I
is a good plan to draw off the butte)
milk and fill in sufficient cold water t
float the granules, agitate it slightl,
and draw off. Repeat until the wate
is no longer discolored, It is well t
salt the butter slightly before begin
uiug to wash it, as it will aid th
operation. Some suppose that all th
butter will not be separated fror
the cream if the churning be stoppe
when the butter is yet in a granule
state, but if the milk drawn ofF be r<
churned it will be found to yield nott

THE DOCTOR. j
He Doom More Charily Work Than |
Any Ulnn in the 1'oniiiuiuity.
Perhaps there is no mail of any
g profession who does more charitable
e work, says less about it, and receives
( more abuse and less sympathy for the
't hardships he endures aud undergoes I
than the doctor. His life is a hard one
r aud he experiences very little of the
e pleasures and pastimes of life
experienced by men in other profess-:
0 ions and pursuits. He is almost
constantly in demand and on the go, j
r. in all kinds of weather, at all hours
* of the day and night, travels the!
u, the roughest roads aud often endures.
privations and receives the scantiestl
Q fare imaginable. Often he is called to \
p leave his home just as he is calculating I
on a few hours rest, to hasten miles I
J* away through storm aud darkness i
a to visit a suffering patient although he
knows he will never receive a cent for
it. The charitable practice a doctor !
does in the course of a year, if comput- j
ed in dollars and cents, would astonish |
almost any average citizen. Worn out j
aud wearied with constant work and i

sickness, if he fails to respond to
another call as promptly as some
anxious friend desires, he is grumbled
at, and very often when a patient dies
he is blamed for it and charged with
being negligent, or ignorant of his
duties, or with making a fatal mistake
iu administering medicine, and he
is held responsible for circumstances
entirely beyond his, or even human
control. The doctor is the confidant of
his whoje neighborhood and knows
more of the secret faults of his neighbors
than any man living, and he is
the last man in the world to expose
them, ro matter how poor and humble
hia ruiHents m?v be. Not one doctor
in a hundred will reveal the secrets of
hi9 practice, although if he were to do
so he could raise great sensations very
often where they are least suspected.
The world produces no horses more
uolHe and self-sacrificing than doctors
often prove themselves to be, though
there is less recognition of it by the
world than of almost any other
class of people. In epidemics of
contagious diseases of the most dangerous
types, the doctor often exposes
his life for humanity's sake and
unflinchingly meets death in combating
disease, and trying to save others.
Whenever I he*r of an unselfish
act, a orave, heroic deed, I want my
lads and lasses to know about it, so let!
me now tell them of what occured
near Columbia a few weeks ago. You
all know what a terrible thiug a mad
tlog is, aud what an awful death
generally follows his bite. Well, one
day in last August, 011 a farm at
Eastover, a colored woman, about eighteen
or twenty years of age, was busy
pulling fodder, and looking down

'oward her. She also saw that he was
mad, and that there was no escape
for her. What do you suppose that
she did? She met him as he came,
and as he sprang upou her and hit her
she caught him in her strong arms,
thrust her list into his mouth, and,
though he was chewing her hand,
carried him to a block where she cut
off his head with au ax. She said to
the physician who attended her, and
who gave these facts to a friend of
' miue who gave them to me: "Doctor,
, when I saw him coming I determined
j that he should never bite anybody
else." Two months later she died of
. hydrophobia. Was not this ignorant
? colored woman a heroine ?

:(i . OTHING succeeds
, /^V^vS'like auccess, but
the prize is often
Rv) cheaply won. The ,
Cabots gave the \

continent to' the j
A ySfr V'jBKL English race and
i- / ttrB ^llou 1W> uia_
v wT'SIt coverers, but the
English were a
o(. " \ century behind the
Qt Spaniards in utili?r
izing their knowledge of the western hemIH<
isphere. North America would have been
"n discovered within a few years after Sou oh
;e America had the Cabot fleets never sailed.
Daring sailors in the northwestern seas
or drifted naturally to those shores. The inor
dians got here somehow from the original
Asiatic habitat. The Cabots, John and Sebastian,
who touched Newfoundland in
? 1494 and 1497, respectively, were searching
for a northwest passuge to India. Reports
of what Columbus had done and the fashIion
of the time put it into their heads to
take out patents for the discovery and occupancy
of new provinces. The trip made
I under John Cabot in 1494 was indeed a bold
one, no matter bow inspired. He sailed
with a single vessel and struck for the
unknown northwest. Columbus was sup?(J
posed to have reached the islands of the Inip
dies on the east. The American continent
ut was still unknown. With the fate of his
| expedition bound up in a single ship Cabot
lc~ steered through the trackless ocean 700
leagues away from the known world. The
sail was a remarkable one, for he left England
in May and was back again in August,
n Sebastian sailed over the same course westward
in 1497, sighting Labrador again and
^ iv j. __ ? ?rm : J..
Qf points on toe coast tut mr Ituuui txa x iuhu.i,
then carried his knowledge of western navigation
over to Spain.
The Cabots were not the first sea rovers
to make land in North. America. Longfellow's
stirring ballad, "The Skeleton In
Armor," may be the wildest fancy so far
as a historical basis goes, but it give" a
vivid picture of the daring, adventurons,
warring people who ruled the icy seas of
the north before the advent of merchant
sailors. The Norse sea kings were in their
way discoverers, conquerors and colonizers,
p. They did not lack for room at home as
much as for freedom, excitement and
pleasure, like more civilized men who find
diversion in the jungle. Uhknown faraway
seas, barren arctic islands?these were
the lairs and hiding places of the vanquished,
the outlawed, the brave but desperate
refugees when driven from their
people by crime, misfortune or love of
isolation. One such is the hero of Longfellow's
verse, and if it be not true that some
bold Norse Homeo fleeing with his Juliet
made a ref'-gc on Newport bluffs and erst
himself despairing upon his spear point
when the gi. jq marauder left him a discon2k
golate castaway it ought to be true that
jy some roman j based on the powerful pasaJ.
sion of love gave rise to the first appearn
ance of man in the new world. The gar
den of Eden liad its love idyL Why not tbe
western Eden also?
The date of the Newport tower is fixed
by good authority at some period not later
than the twelfth century. In a note to bis
' poem Longfellow quoted the arguments of
ita a distinguished French antiquarian in fare
vor of considering the tower to be one of
_ pre-Columbian origin.
_ Gunnbiorn, a Norse sea rover, was driven

land and Greenland, was swept from his
course and driven nine days' sail southoe

and a colony was established that kept up
commerce with the Greenland Norsemen
for 40 years. No certain traces of this mysterious

the water at Fall River in 1839. The id"?
occurred to the poet to connect it with thi
famous round tower at Newport:
Speak! Speak! thou fearful guestl
Who with thy hollow breast
, Still in rude armor drest
Comest to daunt me!
Wrapt not in eastern balms.
But with thy fleshless palms
Stretched, as if asking alms.
Why dost thou haunt me?
Then from those cavernous eyes
Pale flashes seem to rise,
As when the northern skies
GleamJn December,
And like the water's flow
Under December's snow
Camo a dull voice of woe
From the heart's chamber.
I was a viking oldl
My deeds, though manifold.
No ska.d in song has told.
No saga taught thee.
Take b"ed that in thy verse
Thou dost the tale rehearse.
Else dread a dead man's curse,
Foi this I-sought thee.
Far in the northern land.
By the wild Baltic's strand,
I with my childish hand
Tamed the gerfalcon,
And with my skates fast bound
Skimmed the half frozen sound
That the poor, whimpering hound
Trembled to walk on.
THE NOKSE TUWJSU AT fc. W rUlt i.
Oft to his frozen lair
Track'd I the grizzly benr,#
While from my path the hare
Fled like a shadow;
Oft tb-ough the forest dark
Folio- ;d the werewolf's bark
Until i'ie soaring lark
Sang from the meadow.
But when I older" grew,
Joining a corsair's crew
O'er the dark sea I flew
With the marauders.
Wild was the life wo led;
Many the souls that sped;
Many the hearts that bled
By our stern orders.
Once as 1 told in glc>
Tales of the stormy sea
Soft eyes did gaze on me,
Burning out tender.
And as the white stars shine
On the dark Norway pine,
On that dark heart of mine
Fell their soft splendor.
I
Bright in her father's hall
Shields gleam'd upon the wall;
Loud sang the minstrels all.
Chanting his glory;
When of old Hildebrand
1 asked his daughter's hand,
Mute did the minstrel stand
To hear my story.
While the brown ale he quaff'd
Loud then the champion laughed.
And as the wind gusts waft
The sea foam brightly.
So the loud laugh of scorn.
Out of those lips unshorn,
From the deep drinking horn
Blew the foam lightly.
She was a prince's child,
I but; viking wild.
And though she blush'd and smiled
1 was discarded.
Should not the dove so white
Follow the seamew's flight,
Why did they leave that night
Her nest unguarded?
Scarce had I put to sea,
Beariu0- tho maid with me?
Faire.iof all was she
Among the Norsemen!?
When on tho white sea strand.
Waving his armed hand,
Saw we old Hildebrand
With twenty horsemen.
Then launch'd they to tho blast.
Bent like a reed each mast.
Yet we were gaining fast
When tho wind failed us,
And with a sudden flaw
Came round the gusty Skaw,
So that our foe we saw
Lrugh as he hail'd us.
And as to catch the gale
Round veer'd the flapping sail,
' Death! was the helmsman's hail.
Death without quarter!
Midships with iron keel
Struck we her ribs of steel;
Down her black hull did reel
Through the black water.
As with hi9 wings aslant
Sails the flerce cormoraut,
i Seeking some rocky haunt.
With his prey laden,
So toward the open main.
Beating to sea again,
Through the wild hurricane,
Bore I tho maiden.
Three weeks we we3tward bore.
And when the storm was o'er
Cloudlike we saw the shore
Stretching to leeward;
There for my lady's bower
Built I the lofty tower
Which to this very hour
Stands looking seaward.
Thpm u'i\ mn.nv vears:
Time dried the maiden's tears;
She had forgot her fears.
She was a mother;
Death closed her mild bluo eyes.
Under that tower she lies;
Ne'er shall the sun arise
On such another!
Still grew my bosom then.
Still as a stagnant fenHateful
to ine were men,
The sunlight hateful!
In the vast forest here.
Clad in my warlike gear.
Fell I upon my spear?
Oh, death was grateful.
Thus seam'd with many scars.
Bursting these prison bars.
Up to its nativo stars
My soul ascended!
Thero from the flowing bowl
Deep drinks tho warrior's soul,
SkoalJ to tho northlaud! Skoal!
Thus the tale ended.

A Word to the Bo;r.
If you have anything to do, do it i
at once. Don't sit down in the rocking '
chair and lose three-quarters of an hour
in dreuding the job. Be sure that it
will seem 10 times harder than it did
at first. Keep this motto: . Be on time
in 9mall things as well as great things.
Habit is everything. Tbe boy who is
behind time at breakfast and at school
j will be sure to get "left" in the iraportant
things in life. If you have a chronic
habit of dreading and putting off things
' make a great effort to cure yourself.
Brace up! Make up your mind that
you will have some backbone. Depend
upon it, that life is very much as
you make it. The first thing to decide
t is, what are you going to make it. The
i next thing is to take off your coat
i and go to work. Make yourself
s necessary somewhere. There are thousands
of boys and young men iu tbe
world who wouldn't be missed if
they were dropped out to-morrow.
Don't be one of this sort. Be a power
in your own little world, and then
depend upon it, the big world will
hear from you. o
How to Make Mother Happy.
"Why, mother, how bright and
ciieeriui you iook lo-mgni: w urn. uas
t ,.pened?"
"I feel very happy, my dear, because
my little boy has really tried to be
good all day. Ouce, when his sister
teased him, and he spoke quickly
and crossly to her, he turned around a
moment of bis own accord and said he
was wrong and asked her to forgive
him. I believe I should grow young,
or never look tired or unhappy again if
every day my little boy and girl were
as thoughtful, unselfish and loving
as they have been to-day."
Here a grand secret for you, little
ones; and now that you know how
to make mother happy, may you keep
her face always full or sunshine !
People Who nre Not Son 1-Winners.
The husband who scolds his wite before
the children because she happens
to get too much saleratus in the
biscuit.
The mother who can talk by the
hour about the dresses, and bonnets
of her neighbors, but can't say a word
to her little ones about the love of
\>1I ? iOi?
The Sunday-school teacher who
don't know enough about the lesson
to ask questions without reading them
from the lesson paper.
The woman who talks about heaven
in church, and about her neigbors
on the street.
The young lady who hands wine to
callers.
The sectarian, who never has a good
word for any other denomination.
The man who rings a bell every time
he puts a dime in the contribution.
The man who never goes near the
church on lodge night.
The man who blows a tin horn and
shouts himself hoarse during a campaign,
but is down on anything like
excitement in religion.
Let one purchase hens of the common
mongrel stock?which can always
be got quite cheaply?and with these
hens mate a purely-bred male of the
variety desired to breed into. In the
autumn carefully select the strongest
aud best developed pullets, still retaining
the former male bird. Select only
those pullets which are robust and
perfectly healthy in every respect and
-frnncrlv marked in form and color and
general characteristics of the breed
represented by their sire. Mate thin
' second crop of pullets to an unrelated
sire, and the resulting generations will
be equal to the thoroughbred stock of
ibat breed for all practical purposes
iu laying and marketiug qualities.
Corn meal is a convenient, and we
may say staple, article of food in the
barnyard, yet it is not the best food
for chickens. It is very good food in
winter, as it is heating, but for young
chickens it is not sufficiently growing.
Very young chickens that are fed
on corn meal exclusively are liable to
be troubled with bowel disease. Give
a variety of food, give plenty of range,
and above all, give clean quarters.
