Mottled or strenky butter has been explained us bring caused by an unequal distribution of the salt, but white spanks have a different; cause or causes. Some- times, whcn the mill; is so: in shallow pans, they result from the cream drying on top, so there are small portions that are so hard they do not chum into butter.

In Turkey. just at the age when a. lad need: most. guidance and moral strengthening the women of his family consider it good sport to put the very temptations in his Way against which he should be gunrdul and fortified. and laugh with umusemmt and delight when he succumbs to then. They must not be blamed too heavily. They have no education themselves, no ideals. From early childhood they are taught that they count for nothing in social axistence. But the result is that at the outsm of life Turk- ish manhood is sapped at tln base and its moral strength destroyed. Again, drunk- enness and unnatural vices, specially the former. are practiced among life higher classes to an extent of which Ibolieve f ow foreigners have any idea, ever after they have lived for years in the country.

The Scoti also settled Scot- land. and there retained their original designation. Lope de Vega, the famous Spanish dramatist and poet, lived from 1562 to 10:55. His literary work began when he Was about 13 years old, and from that time until his death, a period of 60 years, be poured forth an enormous quantity of plays, dramatic compositions of all kinds, poems of every character, breathing awry spirit from the strictest asceticism to the most unbridled license. Over 1,800 plays are credited to him, and the published col- lection, comprising about 300, is contained in 28 volumes. Cultivate Joyousness. Recently there has been a notable re~ turn in our popular literature to the brightness and joyousness which are, after all, the predominating feelings of the wholesome minded man. It behooves ov- iéry hopeful person who believes in the ultimate goodness of God’s world to help on the movenwnt which claims for laugh- ter and rejoicing as true and pure a place in the economy of the universe as tears and doleful shakings of the head. The sooner the Puritan idea. of severity and re- striction and unshakahle gravity being an index to virtue is undermined the better for the preservation of a healthy balance among human faculties. Let us accept frankly the truth that the good in us bub- hles over quite naturally and harmlessly into laughter and frolie', and on no raslon even into flippancy. Good taste will tell us when the surroundings of our life or the lives of others make such effervescence out of place and will warn us against fore- 3 ing unnaturally the pace of gayery. Bl:- sides, we shall learn that the extreme of nimble spirits brings its own retribution in the form of exhaustion and a. growing complementary sadness. We advocate no such extreme, but only press the point that the light and airy phases of our moods are to be thankfully welcomed and enjoyed, and are not to be frowned upon as un- xverthy and misleading.â€"Ncw York Ledger. - Apart from this runnrknblo infatuation, which may be likened to the desire experi- enced by many people when standing on the brink of a. precipive to throw them- selves down, tho manufacture. of potassium cyanide is not particularly dangerous.
