â€"Continenta1 newspapers report that about a fortnight ago, on a Sunday, the inhabitants of the village of thsuevo, in Russia, burned a woman one of their neighbors, as a witch. They are said to be quite satisfied that they acted right. They kept the woman in her, house, closed all the doors and windows by nailing boards across them, and then set fire to a. heap of straw lying in one of the rooms. The house was soon reduced to a. heap of ashes in which was mingled the dust of the supposed witch. â€"Tlie small boy of n clergyman in Port- land.

One has perfected a justifying type setting machine which uses new type only, since by its methdds it is cheaper to make new type than to distribute it;while the other inventor uses type so sparingly that a single alphabet is all that is needed in any given font, and neither type- setting nor distribution is required, the type making an impression ina wooden block when touched or“set, ” and this block forming a matrix for :1 stereotype plate. â€"’._I‘he trouble in the colored Baptist church in St. Louis arose from a society of women organized by the pastor, and which he called the Society of Mutual Love.

A little chopped parsley may be added just before taking the chowder from the saucepan. ROAST BEEF.~T110 sirloin and tenderloin cuts are the most expensive, and a rio roast is quite as good if it includes the sixth, seventh and eighth ribs. We prefer to have all the bones taken out, and the meat rolled, but many consider that the meat loses flavor and sweetness by the removal of the bone ; no doubt this is true in a measure, but it is certainly the most economical way, as the meat can be sliced evenly from the top and the bones do duty to the soup-kettle. A long rib roast is a very awkward looking affair. A fair compromise is to have the ribs taken from the flap only, when this can be folded under and with skewers. Roast beef, pro- perly speaking, should be cooked before an open fire, and is vastly superior to that pre- pared in any other way. So few people have the necessary conveniences that what usually passes for roast beef is baked in an oven instead. Put the beef in the dripping pan with one tablespoonful of boiling water, and no more. Put it into a very hot oven, which after the first ten minutes may he allowed to cool a little, but still be a good steady heat, haste with the juices of the meat-â€" the oftener the better. When half done, season with salt and pepper ; allow ten minutes for each pound, unless you wish the meat well done, when it will require fifteen.

The milk was weighed with accuracy, and every fraction of an ounce counted and re- duced to quarts on the basis of two pounds one and one-half ounces to the quart, which I find to be just what a. fairly measured quart will way.

It costs as much to feed the Ayrshire as the Jersey. The same quan- tity of milk that it takes to make a. pound of just common white butter from the Ayrshire, would if taken from the first Jersey. make over two and one-fourth pounds, and if from the second Jersey, over two pounds of strictly gilt edge butter. In any discriminating marlth one pound of it is worth three of the other. Milk null Buller. A correspondent asks “how many pounds of milk will makeapound of butter ?" Should he ask an architect how many bricks it would take to build a house, the answer might be, "that depends on the size of the house." The amount of butter you can get from a given quantity of milk depends upon a variety of circumstances. Important amongst these may be reckoned the kind of feed you give your cows, and most important, the kind of cows you feed. Then comes into the account the length of time your cows have been in milk. whether they are fresh or nearly dry, and the facilities you have for handling. Having recently made some experiments, and with considerable care, on the milk of diifer- ent cows. I submit the results. Iliave used the milk of four cows ; two thoroughbred Jerseys, one Jersey grade and one Ayshire grade as follows : Dewdrop, (11. B. 314), makes one pound best butter from five and seven-tenths quarts of milk. Coun- tess, (H. B. 2820). makes one pound best butter from six and three-tenth quarts of milk. Miss Eddy, (half Jersey. halt native). makes one pound fair butter from eight and three-fourths quarts of milk. Flora, (Ayr- shire, three-fourths. and native one fourth). makes one pound common but‘ex‘ from thir- teen quarts of milk. Devon Cows n- Milken-s. A New York State farmer makes public through the Country Gentleman the milk pro- ducts from his herd of Devon cows last year as follows: “From 25 Devon cows, some of them grades, and some thoroughbreds, we have made 5,841) pounds of butter and raised 17 calves. There was no time since the 1st of May when we had less than 15 Berkshires, and most of the time 20, through the season. We feed no grainto the cows after the 10th of May. Through September and part of October we feed fodder corn and millet once a day. Since October 20 they have had no- thing but corn stalks and hay, except what they picked from the ground. Eight of the 25 cows were two and three-yeur-olds. which were milked last season for the first time. Through May. June and July, we made on the average 32 pounds per day. “('6 used What milk and cream we wanted for a family of eight persons." lVlilk for llvep. “"0 learn from medical authorities that the practice has lately been adopted in the New York Asylum for Inebriates to administer to the patients at bedtime a glass of milk to produce sleep, and the result is often found satisfactory, without the use of medicine. Medicine is there sometimes prescribed in milk. It has been recently stated in medical journals that lactic acid has the effect of pro- moting sleep by acting as a sedative, and this acid may be produced in the alimentary canal after the ingestion of milk. Can this, then, be the explanation of the action of milk on the nervous system after a long continued, excessive use of alcohol drink '2 Sugar, also, is capable of being converted in the stomach, , in certain morbid conditions, into lactic acid ; r and a lump of sugar allowed to dissolve in the mouth on going to bed will frequently soothe a restless body to quiet and repose. ‘ New Electric Lamp. According to M, I’arville, the new electric lamp invented by Iieyner is as easily man- aged as an ordinary orl lamp. A rod of carâ€" bon, from twenty to thirty centimetres long and from one to two millimetres thick. is held at one end by a metal rod which tends to descend by its own weighhand at the other by a carbon wheel in a vertical position. The carbon is pressed stroneg against the wheel, which is made to revolve slowly. A current of electricity from a battery of from four to six Bunsen elements raises the carbon to a white heat at the point of contact of the rod with the wheel. By this means a splendid light is produced. If a high degree of lumi» nosity is required. the heated portion of the carbon may be increased at pleasure. Un breaking the current the light is extin- guished ; on restoring the connection, by turning a knob, the light flashes forth. The battery may be stowed away anywhere, and the contrivance does not involve the difficulty and expense of maintaining a magnetic elec- tric machine a steam engine. New Use for Eleclricily’. A new and useful application of electricity ‘ has been made by an American inventor to the apparatus for reeling silk from the co- coon. The delicate filaments of silk are carried over wire arms, which are so nicely balanced that they do not press against the silk strongly enough to break it, and, in this relation :1. current is kept open ; but if the filament breaksthe arm falls, the cir- cuit is closed, and an electrounagnet in- stantly stops the reel until the break is re- pairefl. As the work is now done the de- tection eta broken filament depends on- tirely upon the skill of the workman, and the work must be carried on so slowly that the eye can note any break. while with this automatic stop it is‘ said the labor will be much more rapidly done and a more uniform thread produced. The invention is being introduced into France and Italy, the two great silk producing countries of Europe. (‘hoice of (lens.

West Middlesex has 97 schools and 110 teachers. The school attendance in London is 2,641. East Middlesex Teachers Association adopted a resolution at its last meeting. re- comending that Kirkland & Scott’s Elemen- tory Arlthemetic, the Epoch Series of Eng- lish Hxstory, and Swimon’s Language Les- sons be introduced as text books.

Taking the amount paid for salaries, supplies and repairs. I find each pupil’s education for the year has cost $6.87. The daily average is not so large as it might be. Many of the teachers call upon the parents of those children who are irregular in their attendance, with a View of calling their attention to the importance of sending their children regularly to school; but such is the indifference manifested in this matter that our efforts to secure a high average have only been partially successiul.

Some one of the name of Siehr says that his own house, ex- posed to prolonged storms on the seaeoast, had pieces of mortar to be renewed each spring ; after trying, without efl‘ect a number of substances to prevent it, he found sawdust perfectly satisfactory. It was first thoroughly dried, and sifted through an ordinary grain sieve, to remove the largest particles.

After having filtered and washed the precipitate, he reduced it to the metalic state by heating to the required temperature. Just as he was about to allow it to cool he noticed a small piece of dirt among the reduced silver. In order to separate them he took a thin plat- ium wire and pushed the silver to one side, but on attempting to take the wire away the silver remained in contact with it. As he thought this curious, he tried the following experiment. He took a piece of silver foil. about one centimeter, square. placed it in an inverted porcelain crucible lid, and heated it to about 500 ° 0.: then he brought into con- tact With it the extremity of a thin platinum wire. and to his astonishment the wire raised the silver from the lid and it remained in contact when cold. Wondetockis to have a $20,000 Model School. Mr. J. B. Somerset, P. S. Inspector for Lincoln 00., in his last annual report. makes the following sensible remarks : “ The general increase in the salaries of teachers is shown in the increased amounts paid yearly for that purpose. the increase having been steady fora number of years past; but this is not so apparent in individual cases. It is greatly to be regretted that there is not a more general disposition on the part of trustees to secure teachers whose services it will be desirable for them to retain. There is almost an in- calculable amount of organizing skill and teaching eflort wasted yearly from the fre- quent changes made in teachers. In some school sections, a year seems to be the ut most limit of a teacher’s stay, and a change at the beginning of the year to be regarded almost as a matter of course; the dismissals in some cases, too, seem to be owing more to little personal antipathics felt by persons in the section on quite other grounds than that of inefficiency in the school room; in other cases a change is made apparently with the conviction that the saving of two or three dollars monthly in the hiring of the new teacher is a move in the direction of economy and of the true interest of the school; and yet none will dispute the propo- sition that a teachm’s first year in a school is his least useful one, and that each succeeding year largely increases his efficiency unless he is naturally unfltted for his work. It is en- couraging to mark. however. that an increas- ing number of school sections are beginning to see the unsoundness of this course, and to adopt a better rule in the engagement of their teachers ; but until a change of teacher for any cause but inefficiency is regarded as a misfortune and not as a mere incident, we must continue to deplore the evil results that flow from this practice. -â€"Bishop Bmvmem of the Methodist Epis- copal Church, recently preached in the Mission Church.

This healthful article of food has been so much adulterated of late that the public must learn how to distinguish the genuine article from the more or less injurious mixtures sold under that name. Pure liquid honey grann- lates; that is to say, it changes from a liquid to a semi-solid state. At first the grains formed in it resemble those of churned cream when the butter is just beginning to come; but thickening gradually, it finally becomes as hard as lard is in winter. Its color changes at the same time ; summer honey becomes of awhitish yellow, and fall honey is several shades yellower. Heating will restore it to its former shape and color, but will cause it to lose some of its delicate flavor. â€"Lord Teignmouth relates that his tutor, the Rev. Mr. Jerram, was one day preaching, when he was disturbed by snoring. He more than once appealed to the supposed sleeper, and at length peremptorin intimated that, unless the good man or woman to whom he attributed the interruption were awakened, he must discontinue his sermon. “Sir,” ex- claimed a. man from a remote part of the church, “it’s a howl I” Consumers are prejudiced against granu- lated honey, and bee keepers did not seem to think of raising their voices against that pre- judice until a. short time ago, when, after a. lively contest in the bee journals between those who sell pure honey and those who had used glucose, they allcume to the conclusion that only pure honey gmnulates, but most generally remains liquid. \Ve would there- fore say to consumers that if they find extract- ed honey that will show no signs of granula- tion after going through the winter months. they may be pretty sure that it is adulterated.

Chemists have found corn sugar in almost every sample obtained from wholesale dealers. Such honey cannot reach the markets on the other side of the Atlantic without being deâ€" tected and exposed; but as there are no laws here to protect us from being swindled and poisoned by such fraud. ndultemted honey is daily served to American people. and relished as the genuine sweet.

PURE “ON [31' I have known John Church for nearly seven ‘ years. I first got acquainted when I was 1 living two or three doors from Church, at ' Porter‘s. He used to take me out to London ‘ and to various public houses. I met him again some months ago. and he came to my mistress's house one night the worse for drink. A few days after he came again to the house, and during conversation I told him the mistress had no money in the house. He said, “ Could we not put the old woman out of the way?" I said, “ What do you mean 1’” He said, “ Oh, poison her.” I 1 said, “ You must do that yourself. I'll { have nothing to do with that.” Church said, Confession at [he Woman Calhnrlne \Veb- star Regarding Ilne Hatchery «mm. Thomasâ€"A Case of Tnlnl Dept-(wilyâ€" She Charge: Church “’ilh [he Crime. The arrest of Catharine Webster in Ireland for the murder of her mistress, Mrs. Thomas, at Barnes, near Richmond, on .the Thames, was announced by cable two weeks ago. The woman, on being brought to London made the following confession, inculpating her pan-amour, John Church. The statement is as follows :â€" RICHMOND POLICE STATION, March 30, 1879. “ We could have her things and go off to America together and enjoy it, as I am get- ting tired of my old woman." He left late in the evening. He came again on the Monday night, the 3rd of March. and be had tea with Mrs. Thomas. I waited upon them. After tea. I asked Mrs. Thomas to let me go out to see my little boy, and she said, “Yes Kate ; and you need not hurry back.” When I re- turned, late in the evening. I noticed the light was turned down. I knocked three times. At the third knock Church opened the front door, when I saw Mrs.Thomaslying on the mats in the passage. struggling and groaning, and he sand, “Come in,” I drew back on to the step, frightened to go in. At this time there was a. policeman standing on the opposite side of the road; a tall, dark man. Church seized me by the arm, pulled me in and closed the door. I said, “ What- ever heve you done ‘2" He said. “ Never mind ; I have done it for her, and if you say a word about it I’ll put this knife into you up to the handle." That was a carving knife be- longing to Mrs. Thomas. I felt very faint, and when he said he would put the carving knife into me I said, " No, John ; don’t, I won’t tell ‘2" AFTER THE MURDER. He offered me what I thought was a. glass of water. I said, “No, I am better now.” thinking it was poison, and that he was going to serve me the same as Mrs. Thomas. Shortly after we left the house together. leav- ing Mrs. Thomas there, and took a cab. I had told him I would not stay in the house by myself. We drove to neurChurch’s house. Church saw me into Mr. Porter’s and I re- mained there for the night. I got up early next morning and went into Church’s house. Mrs. Church remarked that I was out early. Church, was there, and beckoned me to go up the street. I went up, and he joined me shortly afterward. and he said, “I can’t get over to your house before one o’clock. as I got into it row with the old woman last night for being out so late again, and I must stay at home this morning to make it up with her.” I said I should not go back to the house by myself. He had the keys of the front and side doors, and said he should be down by two o‘clock. He asked me what time I would be down there before night. He told me where to meet him at the Richmond Hotel, over the bridge. I took the boy with me, and as 1 passed the hotel I saw Church inside, and asked the boy to go on a short distance and wait. I went into the hotel and spoke to Church, and he asked me whatI would have to drink. I had some whiskey. He then gave me the keys of the house and said, “ I want you to go to the house, and take the boy with you ;” and he added that I should find 9. box in the back room, which he had packed up and tied with cord. The boy Porter was to assist me to bring it away; not to take a cab from the house, but if we passed one on the way to the bridge we were to take it. msrosme OF THE BODY. We did not, however, do so. I carried it to the bridge. Church told me to let the boy Porter keep buck and not see him whenI went with the box, but that he would be there to see me. I took the box on to the bridge, and placed it upon the bridge. The boy went away and Church appeared. I said, " What are you going to do with it ?" ( hurch said, " That is my business.” There was a tall1 gentleman near on the other side of the‘ bridge. I left him, and he said. “ Follow the boy.” I left, and heard a splash in the water. I found the boy Porter at the foot of the bridge carrying a carpet bag, which he brought from the house, containing books and meat. \Ve found that the last train had gone. The boy asked a cabnian what he would take him for, and he said three shills ings. The boy having only two shillings and I no changel said, “ You shall come homeand sleep with me." We both slept in one room. About two days after, when I was cleaning up the scullcry, I saw some blood on the carving knife. There was a meat saw hanging up over the fireside, but on that day I found it in a box in the scullcry quite clean. Since mistress disappeared, Church, Porter and his son have been frequently at the house, Church directing me to order things for the house as if they were for Mrs. Thomas. They have been taken to his house, cooked, and eaten there; likewise to Porter’s house. He called Porter in to take the goods and fumi~ ture into the house and said, “Don’t you pay him for the valuation, I’ll pay him." I paid several bills. He said, “Never mind paying them; pay Miss Ives. the landlady. to keep her quiet. I want to pay her.” When they were moving the goods I weutto pay her, and she said “No.” She refused to take the money, and thought there was something wrong. I went back into the house and told Church, and said there was some noise being made. He said, “I will go out to Porter and say there is something wrong about this. Don’t move the things.” He .knew where I was going. He gave me a card with his address, and said, “I will stop at home and brazen it out." This was on Tuesday, the 19th, and I reached my uncle’s house at Greenamer on the following Friday night. I wrote to Church, to his address in Hammer- smith, telling him I had arrived home safely. Before leaving it was arranged that I should remain at home for about three weeks; that he would send. A Young Man Fatally Kicked by n "one.

One worthy editor has spoken of the recent feat of Maulsz Anderson as senseless, idiotic. Sawing wood as an exercise is excellent, but let a, boy saw wood night and day on a wager mid he would be. no more a fool than the walkist, or many others who do things just as silly for betting purposes. How do we char- acterize the millionaires of the day who are trotting their 2.20 trotters and can’t be happy till they are matched against some other nabob’s priceless beast for $20,000 a side? I would like to ask this editor if these men are fools, and if the partaker is not as bad as the thief ? In other words, if the throngs of respectable men and women who witness and encourage these exhibitions are 8.11 fools. While betting and racing are bad in them- selves. it is something to be proud of, this splendid development of muscle, be it in man or boast, but for a woman. should that alter the case? That some walk too much, I admit. but I will venture to say that where one woman is injured by excessive walking or other exer- cise. 10,000 are hurt by too little. Two or three miles a day of brisk walking is none too much for any person not too feeble. Many a pale, spooney girl who thinks she can hardly walk half a mile to school. if forced to walk or run an hour or so each day. and leave ofl the night study, would soon feel the thrill of life in every nerveâ€"her feet and hands would soon lose their deadly chill, “ education” would not be such a breakdown process as is too often the case nowadays. “ Oh, she can’t; she is not able to walk to school; but she must pass her examinatien; so we send the teams for her.” So said a fond mother of her delicate daughter.

Then the tiny hat perched on the very top of the elaborate pile of braids and puffs and irizzes, must be held on the head just so, or it might tumble off, or get out of place someway and somebody might notice it, which would be dreadful. O, the looks! When will women cease to make martyrs of themselves for fear of what somebody may say ? The fact is, the tribe of fashionable females are many of them so delicate, so much the matter with them; like cheap watches, their inside works are so fearftu and wonderfully made that they are always just ready to fall apart or drop out on a little strain, or stop running altogether unless constantly tinkered up by the doctor, that it is cheering to the love of humanity to see that some women, by training, can be really strong. Every woman should try to look her best, but dry goods can be put on any dummy ; the real good looks are in the beaming eve and face bright with fine spirits born of good heath and useful purpose ; in the handsome form undistorted by stays, or neglect of need- ful out-door exercise. One day the principal of a school that de- servedly has a. reputation for uncommon ex- cellence, passed me on the street. How he did walk 1 I had to look at the man. He went along swinging his arms as if mowingu swath, and he was a perfect model of health and manly strength. He knew how to take care of himself. and did it too. Who shall say that his splendid physical health was not the true secret of his success in teaching? Should a man walk, run, lift, swing the ax, and his wife, because a woman, be content to let the precious hours, when she can be free from housekeeping duties be wasted in fancy work or reading frashy stories ? No wonder there are so many illâ€"matched couples. I have often thought it wrong for the farmer to do all the heavy work. It seems to me that if he would do less hard manual labor and his wife a little more, that they would be better mated. With more leisure. he would not be so coarse and she have health and stronger nerves, and both enjoy each other’s society better, because of sympathy in each other‘s pursuits.

(Montreal Gazette.) 011 Monday morning the Redpath Sugar Refinery resumed operations after a suspen- sion of three years, and Tuesday afternoon they were in a position to fill orders for yellow refined sugars. The announcement of the resumption of active work was received with great satisfaction in this city, and we are sure will be hailed throughout the Dominion as an evidence of the beneficial results of the new taritf. No question was more thoroughly discussed during the campaign than that of the desirability of encouraging trade with the West Indies and enlarging the home labor market, by the establishment of sugar refiner ios in Canada, and on none was a. more pro- nounced disapproval of the policy of the late Government given. There are already some three hundred men employed in the Redpath Refinery. and this number is to be augment- ed ; in addition to these employment will be afforded to coopors, carters, etc. The raw sugar which is now being refined has been obtained in the United States, but we may anticipate the direct importation of raw sugars from Brazil and the West Indes during the coming summer, and the revival of the direct trade between those countries and Canada. In the course of two or three days, the Refinerywillbo able to execute orders for white sugars. A Farmer Act-lineal oi (Dun-agingn [All]. Girl in “is Employ.
