A 8PIDER8 WEB.
'lis only a spider's wob," we say,
As we brush the filmy lace away
Without singlo thought or cite,
For tho wonderous beauty hidden there.
And yet that common web may vlo
With famous ancient tapestry?
Iti Taricd patterni may compare
With tipaniih lace o rich and rare.
And when 'tii gemmed with morning dow,
Which reflect tho sun's resplendent hne
Though unadmired, more fair and bright
That silken laco with gems bedight.
Little we think as careless hands
Rudely bmk the silken strands,
Hidden away in dust and gloom,
They're fairer than lace from an Kastcrn loom.
So bounteous Nature holds in storo
Volumes of wonderous, unwritten lore,
Whieh well wo might with profit read
Beautiful lessons 'twere well to heed.
Liko the spider let us strand by strand
Weave tho web of life with careful hand,
That when at last our work Is done,
Wo may leave a shining web well spun.

Comparative Profits in Dairying.
Milk nitulo into ordinary butter and
chcoso docs not nvorngo to tho producer
moro than 1$ cents per quart. At this
prico it la as milk exceedingly cheap food,
but it cannot bo delivered in cities nt
twico this figuro, ovon under tho most
favorable circumstances. In winter milk
always advances in prico, for tho good
reason that with cold weather and a con
siderable portion ot dry feed, it ia im
possible to kcop up as largo a flow as tho
cow undor bottor conditions will givo in
summer. Milk spoils or waters rapidly,
and it also requires considorablo labor
to caro for it properly. It is this reason,
mora than tho cost of producing milk,
which makes it dear to city buyers nt
all Boasons of tho year. I summer,
whon it is produced most cheaply, it
cannot bo easily kopc sweet for many
hours. Thcro nro comparatively fow
places where milk can bo bought in
cities. Grocors find tho demand very
uncortain. Somotimcs they will liuvo
not half enough, and within a day or
two tho samo amount will leavo a sur
plus to go to waste For this reason, us
well as tho unpleasant labor of cleaning
vessels that lmvo contained milk, it is
not in much favor with grocery dcalors.
It is unfortunato for nil partios that
milk and its products aro not moro gen
erally usod for food.
Tho quostion is somotimcs nskod,
"What is tho Grango doing? To those
who will not closo their oyes to its work
it moro and moro demonstrates by its
acts, its influence for good, in local,
State, and national affairs. Hero is an
instanco of its local work. An extract
from tho minutes of Millis Grango, No.
112, Hassachueottcs :
"Tho discussion of tho question, How
can tho Grango increnso tho property of
tho town of Millis? brought out tho
following points :
1. That wo do all wo can for tho
Grango.
2. That wo set out trees by tho road
side. 3. That wo liolp build sidowalks in
tho middlo of tho town.
1. That wo mow tho bushes by tho
roadsido adjoining our farms.
5. That wo voto to keop tho Danvillo
school running.
G, That wo croato a public senti
ment that tho town may voto to grant
monoy to keop tho comotory in repair.
7. That wo do nil wo con to repress
the Balo of intoxicating liquors.
8. That wo attend tho church and
Sabbath-school.
9. That wo support tho lectures and
moral entertainments.
In a number of our States tho timo
has nearly or quite como around for tho
celebration of "Arbor Day," n doy sot
apart by law and nnder proclamation of
tho Governor, devoted to tho planting
of trees in groves, along highways and
around buildings; not only beautifying
tho homo and tlu neighborhood, but
aiding in tho restoration of tree growth,
60 necessary to maintain a proper cli
mato and conditions of rainfall and
moisture, so essential to tho growth of
all our crops. In soveral States, by
direct and united action of tho Grange,
tho proper legislation has been secured
for an Arbor Day. In other States
Patrons still have this work to do. Tho
day should be observed, and in due form.
Organized effort in this, as in all other
directions, secures better results. Pre
pare for it ; talk it over in moetings.
What are tho best varieties of trees to
plant; when and how shall wo plant
them, etc.? The number of Granges
that regularly observe Arbor Day is in
creasing. Oregon Kidney Tea cures backache,

It seems that Trof. Wiloy of the de
partment of agrioulturo at Washington
has been making tcBts of bogus butter
and recent news givo tho following
results. Prof. Wiloy's oxporiments hnvo
been progressing moro than a year.
Tho materials for investigation were
purchased in open market in all parts
of tho country, no intimation being
given in any caso of tho purposo for
which tho purchaso was intended. In
not moro than ono-third of tho cases
did tho purchaso provo to bo adultera
tion, excopt when something elso than
butter was asked for, and fraudulent
articles woro thoso sccurod whon low
priced materials woro callod for. In no
caso was it found that an articlo sold in
tho markot as buttorino was entirely
fradulent. Tho adulterated article- usu
ally contained botweon 30 and 40 per
cent, of butter, tho rest most commonly
consisting of bcof-fat, lard nnd cotton
seed oil, Prof. Wiloy devotes some
Bpaco to tho consideration of tho opin
ions of scientific men with regard to tho
wholcsomcnoss of oleomargarino and
kindred compounds. Ho finds that
about nino out of every ten of tho
scientists who have expressed thorn
selvos dcclaro tho boliof that oleomar
garino is unobjoolionablo and whole
Borne. Tho largor nnd moro important
part of this report is devoted to an an
alysis of dairy products and their sub
stitutes and tho methods dotormining
ndultoratlons. Tho chomists' oppor
tunity for investigation nro greater than
have over boforo leen recorded, and tho
result is n troatiso which covers ovory
detail of this important subject, Tho
conclusion is renchod that a microscopo
is a much mora useful instrument in
this direction than Europpan chemists
lmvo over been willing to admit, and is
in fact an invaluablo adjunct to tho
chemical laboratory for this particular
work.

Hot Water Baths.
A good wny io season gloss and china
so that thoy will remain sound if ex
posed to sudden heat or cold is to placo
tho nrticlos in cold wator, bringing it
gradually up to boiling point, and thon
allowing it to cool very slowly, .taking
soveral hours to do it. Tho commoner
tho materials tho moro caro is required,
for tho best glaes and china is soasoncd
before it is placed on the markot.
If tho wares are properly soasoncd in
this way thoy may bo washed in boiling

His Mother's Work.
"My mother geU mo up, builds the
fire, and gets my breakfast and sonds
mo ofT," said a bright youth. "Then
sho gets my father up, gets his break
fast and sends him on". Then she gives
tho other children their breakfast and
sends them off to school; and then sho
and the baby have their breakfast."
"How old is the baby?" asked tho re
porter. "Oh, sho is 'most two, but sho
can talk and walk oa well as any of us."
"Aro you well paid?" "I get 13 a week,
and father gets f 2 a day." "How much
does your mother get?" With a bewil
dered look, the boy said, "Mother, why
she don't work for anybody." "I thought
you said she worked for all of you." "0
yes, for us, she does; but there ain't no

THAT BOY.
Through tho house with laugh aud shout,
Knees threadbare and elbows out,
Mamma hears with anxious doubt,
That boy.
Vain are all the lessons taught;
In one short hour they are forgot,
Gontlo manner loarneth not
That boy.
Thus sho muses, whilo she tries
To sooth tho wakened baby's cries;
Whilo to other mischtof hios
That boy.
With aching bead, this mother mild,
Looks to tho future of her shlld,
Still hoodtcas, yells In acconts wild,
That boy
Sho hears the dread, unearthly tono,
And stifles something like a groan,
To some bad end will surely
That boy.
Patient mother, wait awhile ;
Summons back thy loving smile;
Soon will graver care bepuilo
That boy.
Soon tho boy "with chock of tan"
Witt be the brawny, boarded man.
If thou wouldst trust and honor then
That boy.
Trust bim now, and let thy care
Shield bis soul from overy snaro
That waits to capture, unawaro,
That boy,
And when, thouph worn and oft distressed
Thou knowest that God thy work has blessed,
Then trust with him for all the rest.
That boy.
OUR LETTER BOX.
All thoso who wish to lmvo n fino
growing garden or flowers must begin
soon to propnro for it. There is nlwnys
to bo found somo rich earth about frco
stumps, or on old chip piles whore wood
has been cut for tho house. Tho drop
pings from tho chickon houso is nn ex
cellent fertilizer, but it must bo well
mixed with earth, for it is apt to bo too
burning. It is best to spread it on tho
ground and thon spndo it'in. All tho
oarth must bo pulvorizcd flue, so that
tho tiny flowor seeds will havo a chanco
.to grow. But tho hardest part of garden
work is to kcop tho chickons from
scratching about it. Tho ohiokons aro
not to bo disposod of. Ono may do
without flowers, but no farm can do
without thoso busy fowls; so if thoro is
no convenient fenco to soparato 'tho gar
den from tho chickons, tho flowers must
bo let nlone, excopt ono might havo
bushes and shrubs that can bo protected
by putting sticks around thorn. Hut
try nnd mako an effort to havo n flowor
garden; it Is refining in its inllucnco;
it is ono way of passing tlmo to tho best
advantage
For tho child, lifo is full of energy,

Ella sends a verso for Lizzlo's album.
This reminds .us of somothing thnt n
lady handed us to givo to Lizzlo, also
somo linos that woro worked on her
grandmother's sample This lady is
quito old, therefore tho samplo must bo
120 years old. May bo somo of our
girls will not know what a samplo wus.
In old times pcoplo had no marking
ink, so articles were marked with lottcrs
of silk thread, and ovory smart young
girl would havo a largo picco of canvass
with nil tho lottors of tho alphabet, big
and littlo, with figures, etc., to bo used
for a copy. Thon was added tho date of
work and ago of worker. Thoso sam
ples aro now kopt as valuablo hoirlooms
in families. We had ono, but it was
stolon. Tho words on tho samplo ro
ferrod to are, "Virtuo and Modoity,
adorned with Graco, givo tho best lustra
to a lovely faco." Now, this is sent to
Lzzio by nn aged lady, who feels tho
greatest intorest in young pcoplo, and
who loves to read those littlo lottcrs as
well as ever sho did.
Edward writes a good hand, and
spells correctly. Thoso two requirements
aro necessary to good letter-writing, and
ovory boy should commonco early to
practice this important part of educa
tion. Wo hopo "Cap" has a good mas
ter, one who does not fly into a passion
and beat him if he does not quito under
stand what is wanted of him, Now, all
dogs nro anxious to ploaso, and lovo to
play as well as tho dogs do, and if tho
sense is not kicked out of them by cruel
masters, they will become intelligent
and holpful.
Graco writes very well, indeed. The
only fault is that tho letter is too brief.
Now, Grace might have told how she got
her pony, and why sho named ifQuccn,"
when we know our girl must be a little
republican, and docs not beliovo in
kings and queens. Then tell us if sho
takos caro of the pony by foedlng her
aud combing her hair, tor animals need
such caro when they aro kept tied up in
tho stable. Its nico to own a pony, and
Grnco ought to bo a happy littlo girl.
Mary must 'keep an account of her
success in raising ducks. It is said that
it is profitable if there is a good stream
of water closo by, but that thoy will not
lay eggs in n nest. Therefore many
eggs aro lost. However, wo shall
expect Mnry to obsorve, nnd t61l all sho
can loam from experionco about ducks.
Yes, ono must fcol sad to seo animals in
tho snow and cold, with no food or
sholtor. It's so wicked nnd cruel to
allow it, No ono should keep animnls
unless thoy can provldo for thorn.
