UoW ArUflclU BvlUr U Mad* utn<n II X?jr bo !>?( ??(?<!? The manufacture of artificial butter or oleomargarine, it is stated, was com menced In Paris dilrlng the siege by tlir German army, when many oi the neces sary supplies of life were cut off from the inhabitants. It is related that M. Mtge Mouriez, a chemist, was commis sioned by the French government to miiko Some researches, With A view to obtuln a product to tako the place of butter, to be supplied at a much lower price, and capable of being kept without becoming rancid. M. Mege Mouriez placed several milch cows on a severe diet, which quickly reduced them in weight, and caused them to give a reducod quantity of milk, but the milk always produced butter, leaving still the query "Where did It Cutue from ?" lie believed it was produced from the fat of tho animal, which,being carried into the circulation, was deprived of its stearine by respira :ory combistlon, and flirnished its oleo margarine to the cow's uddir, where, jnder the influence of the mammary pepsin, it was changed into butyric oleomargarine or butter. Guided by ihib observation, he was not long in Dbtair.ing, by an ingenious process, from beef suet, fat fusible at nearly the mmo temperature as butter, and of agreeable taste. He then transformed this same fat into butter by a process timilar to that of nature. This process was by grinding up the fat of the best quality of newly-slaughtered beeves be tween two cylinders,which falling into a deep vat heatrd by steam, and contain ing f'jr every 1,000 kilogrammes of fat J00 kilogrammes of water and one kilo gramme of potassic carbonate, besides t *o sheep's or pig's stomachs in pieces yiii' t-flVp"" degrees, and the mass earelully stirred. At the end of two hours the fat all raised to the surfei-e, when it was let off into another vat, heated on a water bath to thirty degrees, and two per cent, ofseasalt added. In two hours it became clear, and presented a yellow color, nnd the odor of freshly churned butter. This becoming cooler, was cut into cakes, packed in linen, and placed under an hydraulic press, and then separated into two nearly equal parts, viz., stearine and liquid oleomargarine. The stearine he manufactured into candles. Afu?r cooling, the oleomargarine was passed through cylinders under a showo oi water to wash it and give itconsist rnce. The oleomargarine was then made into cheap butter in the following man r.cr: To fifty kilogrammes of melted oleo margarine, in a ohum, ho added about twenty-live litres (twenty-six quarts) of cows' milk, and twenty-live kilo grammes of water containing ten solu ble parts of 100 grains of the mammary gland of tho cow. The churn was put in motion, and in fifteen minutes tin I grease and water became trans-formed into a thick cream, whioh, in turn, wnf changed into butter. The churning be ing over, tho butter was separated and the buttermilk removed, when fresh water was poured in. This pro j duct was then placcd under a stream of water, where it was worked in a way it change it into artificial butter. Whoj, i carefully made it contains traces < i 1 membrane, and may also show crystal | of the stcarates. It is colorod with an j natto from saffron, which is sometime adulterated with sulphate of copper I The secret ol manufacturing it watt in I troduced into tills country in 1872 oi : 1S73 by a French chemist,named Parafl, who formed a company in New York and made a profitable business of it. I There are several ways of detecting i oleomargarine. One is by the micro I scope. The difference between it ano | pure butter is shown at om*> under thi. irlass. Pure butter showo a mass ol globules similar in sizo and appcaranec, with intermediate layers of salt and water. Oleomargarine shows a massot what appears to bo fan-shnped and fibrous crystallizations entirely different in character and appoarance from butter. Professor I)e Sircdt tests it as follows : A piece of oleomargarine?the sizo of a walnut?is placed in a wino glass, and ether poured on sufllcient to cover and dissolve it, which is hastened by stir ring with a teaspoon. Tho wholo be comes soluble, but the salt is immedi ately precipitated,when the liquid mass is poured off Into a saucer, or what is better, a small giass plate or saucer. Tho work of evaporization begins at once, and continues until overy trace of the ether is gone, leaving the stearine or tallowy substanco oponly exposed, with its offensive odor and appeararco Tho oharaotor or appearanoo of good butter is not olianged by a similar test, tho fatty substance loft after the evap orization of the ethor rotalnlngthe odor of pure butter, totally unlike that of the stearlno from oleomargarine. This test Prolossor Do Smedt thinks better and every way more satisfactory than by tho miorosoopo. As a general thing, however, any porson used to marketing can satisfy thomsolves, from the greasy smell of the artificial butter, of its char acter. It in not, as a general thing, so denso as pure butter, and usually has a whitish appearanco on the outsldo. Owls M Pots I When the boys in Europe wish to rob an owl's nest of tho young, and oannot reach down the hollow tree, they tlo a worsted stocking to a stiok and poke it down. The birds turn on their backs and grnspthe stocking with their claws, and are easily drawn up, m they possess the faculty of holding on in a high de f;ree, as hit torn oh thes and lacerated lands oould frequently testify. Owls aro easily tamed, and sometime* make interesting pets, although there are more differences In individual tempors than most people would imagine.

A man was hauling manure from the barn yard to the field with an ox team, aud, whilo ho was iu tho roar of the wagon loading, tho child went in front of the ox, having in his hand a large red hand kerchief. The ox seeing this became maddened and dashed at the little fel low and gored him. The man ran to rescue tho child from the infuriated animal, but before he reached him the ox broke and ran, trampling tho child under his feet, and, turning suddenly in another direction, brought the child into the track of the cart-wheels, which passed over him and crushed him to death.?
