The Rivista Italiana di Filosofia con- tains an article by Dr. Marpillero on children’s ideas of life and death, de- ribing how he questioned a number of young children on these subjects at an elementary school at Rovigo and the answers he received. We quote some of the most curious. Jn answering the question, ‘* What is life?’’ the boys were much more bold than the girls. Many children, boys, defined life as ‘‘a spirit that runs away as soon as we die.”’ A boy of 9 years philosophically observed, “Life is a sea of troubles, which one may cress well or with great unhappi- ness." A boy of 10 said, ‘‘Life is a thing which is never extinguished; auother, ‘‘Life is a good work to eat well;’’ another, ‘‘Life is an invisible thing, which vanishes when it likes and never returns.’’ A little girl of 10 said, “Our life is a fluid.’”’ A small girl of poor condition, aged 8, said, ‘‘Life is paradise.’’ A very general answer was, *‘Life is beautiful,’’ or the opposite, **Life is ugly,’’ and most of the chil- dren who thought life the last were of well todo families. To the question, or ) *‘What is death?’ many replied nega- edto perfect bealth and manhood, after | ha ~ tively, especially the girls. Very few, and these only boys, noted the phenom- enon of death, and one gave as answer: **Death is a pure spirit. The blood dries up; one neither moves nor feels.’’ Another boy of 8 years gave an an- swer bordering on popular superstition, **‘Death is a thirg that, when I die, pulls my feet.’’ Another boy of 8 had a tinge of medical knowledge and replied, **Death is when one has more than 42 degrees of fever.’’ Another said, ‘‘ Death is a thing that one never sees again, never again. ’’ To the question, ‘‘ Are you afraid of dying?’ 21 children, all boys, gave no reply; 62, of whom 7 were girls, replied negatively; all the others—that is, a large majority—said, ‘‘Yes.’’ A little girl cf 10 of well todo parents gave the answer, ‘‘I am not at all afraid of dying because I am tired of living.’ All the orphans replied in the following sense, ‘‘I am not afraid of dying because I want to see my parents again.’’ A lit- tle girl of 9 said, ‘‘I am not afraid of dying because it is a thing sent by God.’’ A boy of 12 replied, ‘‘I am not afraid of dying because I am healthy and have no disease.’’ Another, ‘‘I am not afraid becuuse I am strong and healthy.’’ A little girl of 11 said, ‘‘I |} fear death because it might come at night and pull my feet.’’ Another little girl said, ‘‘I am afraid cf death because it seems that it is my mother who is dead.’’ A girlof 11, who had evidently been told some ghastly stories, replied, ‘‘l am afraid of death because it is so ugly, and one day Bernard went to bury a dead person, and it got hold of Bernard and gave him a kiss.”’ Another boy of § said, ‘‘I am afraid of dying because I could not play with my sister auy more.’’ Another well to do boy said, ‘‘lam afraid of dying be- cause when one is dead one cannot see the men gathering the harvest @ grapes and so many nice things.’’ A little bo of 6 answered, ‘‘I fear death betanse y shall not be born another time after.”™ The majority of umswers to the ques- tion, ‘‘Do you want to grow old?’ were in the negative. A well to do little boy of 9 years answered, ‘‘I should not like to grow old because I should have no streugth te work and might die of hun- ger.”” A little girl of 9 said, ‘‘No, because I shoald have to work hard for my chil- dren, to feed aud clothe them.’’ Many girls feared to becory ugly, saying, ‘‘No, because I should be without teeth,’’ and, ‘‘INo, because I should be ugly,’® or gray, or stooping. A little girl said she would like to grow old and have grancchilcren. A boy said, ‘*Yes, so that I might go to puaradise.”’ Another of 10 years said, ‘‘ Yes, because I «should have finished almost all my “How would you like to live?’’ most of the children were very modest and did not give way to fancy. Many poor children wished that they rice,’’ ‘on polenta,’’ or said, ‘‘I don't want to suffer cold and hunger.’’ A child of 6, a boy, said, ‘‘I should like to live with my father and mother.”’ Another poor boy of 10 said, ‘‘I should like to live content in my own home, be- cause then Iam happy.’’ Another poor orphan boy of 10 said, ‘‘I should like te have enough to live en and go and be with my father and specially my moth- | ws. of whom I eam aiwavs thinking.’’ Very Tew expressea w& wish vo live wma ¢ to their own, but a Loy should like to live without working and be a gentleman.’’ Anoth- er of G years replied, ‘‘I should like to » well dressed and have a hat and go out Walking.’ <A little girl of .9 said, ““t should like to live like a lady and sUperie of 7 said, ‘*T never work and always be served.’’ To the question, ‘‘How would you like to dic?’ the answers frequently alluded to family life. A boy of 6 said, ‘‘I should like to die in bed with my mother,”’ One of 10 answered, ‘‘I should like to die at 82 years, with my parents by my ’* One boy of 11 would like to die ““with the hope of finding my parents and brothers and sisters.’’ A boy of 18 said, ‘‘I should like to die all alone, leaving no brother or any one else on arth.’’ There were some small boys side. | who wished to die on the field of battle, ' and others who did not wish to grow | Old because they would have to serve in the army. ‘Two or three wished to die and have ‘‘a fine faneral.’’ One or two were more religious: ‘‘I should like to die kneeling before God.

Milk and Butter Record. At the Texas Agricultural and Me- chanical college is the Holstein-Friesian cow Yentje Netherland. She is of Neth- erland-Aaggie blood from her sire, and her dam was Yentje IT. The agricultural experiment stations of the south can do nothing better than show by practical example how to breed milk and butter cows. The dairy busi- ness has a great future in the south. The beautiful cow in the picture is 6 years old. She gave 12 gallons 2 quarts =a i Ss YENTJFE NETHERLAND. 2 pints of milk, which made 4 pounds 1 1-3 ounces of butter, every day for a week during one test. Once she gave 870 gallons of milk and made 85.95 pounds of butter in 30 days. Roughly estimated a pintof milk weighs a pound, Her week's teét showed over 100 pounds of milk a day. There is scarcely another cow in the country equal to this. Fora dairy cow Yentje Netherland seems strongly and compactly built too. Unsalted Butter. The consumption of unsalted, or sweet butter in this city is increasing all the time. A few years ago there were only three or four commission houses that handled it at all. Now there are perhaps a dozen that do, some of them receiving large quantities. The sales of unsalted butter amount to less than 1 per cent of all, but the total daily consumption of butter here is enormots, and the amount of unsalted butter sold is now very considerable. In a@ general way it may be said that sweet butter is eaten mostly by the very pocr- est people and by those who are very comfortably situated. By far the largest consumers of unsalted butter here are the Hebrews, and unsalted butter isnow used, or it may be had, in many of the finest hotels and restaurants. It has long been used in some of these. Its increas- ing use in them is perhaps due in some degree to demands from fereign rueste. Unsalted butter is far more commonly used in Europe than heyve. The butter commonly sold contains about an ounce of salt to the pound, and more or less coloring matter. The sweet butter contains no salt whatever and is Salt is added to suit the taste of the consumer. In some restaurants there is now used a butter containing about belf the usual proporticn of salt. Saltisa preservative, and tho ordinary butter of commerce keeps much longer than sweet butter, which must be used while fresh. Sweet butter is mainly New York state butter, but in winter some is brought from farther west. A great deal of the sweet butter is brought to the city by express, which adds to the cost cf it, and the butter makers charge a little more for it because it is all butter and no salt. Sweet butter costs at wholesale commonly a cent a pound more than salted butter, and sometimes 3 or 4 cents a pound more. It is of a lighter color than most salted butters, and when fresh and sweet is of an agreeable fragrance. The ordinary commercial package of unsalted putter contains 60 pounds, We Me Ne NE ME Me NEN WM EME MEN Me te ME NNN NA NESE NE NE NE NE Ne SANE NANA SESE SE MANES ASST “Ae ue as US iP AP AS eae AP AO AS AP DEAS AS AE AP AP > iv UP US US st Wy “ir >< Zs 3": 4 alii Cold Comfort RA a> pads a. se mae Made Warm “as >, \ F MZ Rr even if your house is a cold eS aS one s% 53 “ae Me eeer ae ar uP sw o er = ” ao te. w% aS EGISTERED) = a> ( we 2% ; ee a> aS will warm it up, by giving you ay 3% 50 per cent. more heat with 33 per bo s% —,2 cent less coal or coke, than any ais a 1 Ry { other stove.

In this way the butter is widely dispersed and quickly disposed of. Ur- salted butter can be kept for days i. perfectly good condition if properly cared for. If not sold, it is putintoa freezer or cold storage warehouse in which it .s frozen. There it may be kept in perfect order for months, but when once taken out of the freezer it must be sold promptly.—New York San. Ship Butter In Good Condition. I believe butter can and ought to be made so it could not be substituted. It is av article that has been in use a good many years and will remain a necessity and command a goed price if properly made. Now. let every one who is inter- ‘sted in the dairy business stop so weuch kicking and put his shoulder to the wheel ct progress in the manufac- ture of pure creamery butter. Let every owner of a cow who sends milk toa factory do his utmost to help his but- ccr maker. The butter maker should at- exd to his work carefully and see that there is nothing left undone in making und preparing bis butter for the market, ind I think it would give better prices, make it more pleasaut to do business, make better times and better people. — a.

Build a fine, big red barn, if you have noney enough, but if you have not rf ut in the woods, cut down some good, traight poles, set them in the ground, bey some rough beards and building paper and make a good, warm stable that will never freeze with the cows in it in the coldest weather. It does not make so much difference what a stable is built of so it *s warm, has plenty of sun- light and ventilation and is convenient to feed and arranged to keep the cows clean and healthy. Make the winter condition just as near like June as pos- sible, and as to water have plenty of the pure, clean, warm article. You know milk is 87 per cent water and sometimes more.

Y.) lady recently took into her household a 12-year-old girl who had been brought up in the Brook- lyn Orphan asylum, expecting to train her for a servant. The child had been told that whenever she auswered the doorbell and was handed a card to re- ceive it on a small tray which was al- ways at hand ona hall table. A few days ago, a friend coming to luncheon, Martha answered the bell, and, grasp- ing the tray, opened the door far enough to thrust her thin little face out, at the same time demanding in a sepulchral whisper, ‘‘Where’s your ticket?’ — Brooklyn Life.
