THE MANUFACTURE OF BUTTERI NE.

A PAi'Eii on this .'iibjtot h n just boon read by Mr Anton Jurgens before a meeting of the Hociuty of Art*. Mr Jurgen k'g.ui by quoting tlio opinion of .Sir F. ISuniwell in his addrc-i-s to th.it Society in 1881, when ho said thp.t butterine, nppiuivd to him to bi» as free fiotn ol)j"ction m woulrJ bo the butter itt.clf that w,-,i m.tde fioin cream in tho umi il w.iy. F«»r all cooking purposes butterino, the midoi in liutainud, j-t in overy rc-pect equal to teiil butter, and is quite as wholesome nnd nutiitious. In the United Kingdom the demand for edible fats is ho lavgo that pure butter cannot be produced in quantities nearly to mci i the ruquiioiricnts of the consume; •<. According to statistic*, which the author gave in o.NteiTM), thn consumption of butter and substitutes is about 4W,000,000!b% nnd if we had to rely on butter alone thorn would bo a deficiency of upwards of 207,000, 0001b-. Therofoio, as sufficient butter is not and c.innot be supplied, icconiKo basbscn had for many yoais p.ist to other means of supply. It iH claimed for butterine that it provideH, at a very model ate price, an excellent and nutritious food, the con umption of winch already proves that it is highly appreciated by those for whom it is mainly intended. The cupidity of some retaileis who sought to increase their Rains by Helling butterino at the pi ice of butter brought tho commodity into undeserved discredit. Butterine, the author showed, is much cheaper than butter, and that owing to its compouition it does not become rancid, but retniiiH its sweetness for a much longer time than butter, Ah manufactured at Mr Jurgen's manufactory at Own, in Holland, , butterine is composed of oleomargarine, milk, tho purest vegetable oil that can be obtained, and of real huttor. Olemargarine is prepared from tho freshly slaughtered carcaHe.i in tho abattoir (if large citiea. Tho MU])orfiuoiiH portionH of Muot are taken nnd carted in vaiiH especially fitted to the factories of manuf.icturei-H of repute, where the fat in carefully sorted, and the very finest, cleanest, and iweotest portions selected for oleomargarine. There in one firm in London which ii able io turn out from ten to 20 tons of thia valuable oleo per week. l'Votn the factories at Obs aii average of 150 tons per week oleomargarine butter are Bent to England alone. In tho manufacture 10,000 gallons of milk per week is us-ed. Admitting that butteiino does not ponHeas the delicate flavour of tho bent newly mado fresh butter, tho lecturer pointed out that it is derived from tho samo fat which belongs to the "Roaat beef of Old England," and must bo oqually nutritious under its altered name a« when smoking on dining tables. Homo idoft of tho magnitudo of tho trade and the interests involved may be gathered from the fact that during the year 1883 the total export of biittnnno from Holland alone win estimated at 33,000 tons to 40,000 tons, rorresentinpf a nett value of about £2,802,500 to £2,050,000. If, aim! the reader, retailers, instead of pretending that a mixture of butter and butterine is butter, would sell butterino by that name, by which it is now well known, or would bell it by the name of oleomargarine butter, they would enhance tho value of a good commodity, remove the odour of suspicion and distrust which clings to it, and would make it unprofitable for anyone to produce n bad article. Ho felt assured that nothing but good could coino out of a candid and impartial examination of a subject hitherto veiled in unnecessary obscurity.

Dci-l Boys.— Don't be di?coungcd. Slow growth is often mre growth. Some minds are like Norwegian pines. They are slow in growth, but they are striking their roots deep. Some of the urea test men linve been dull boys. Dryden and Swift were dull as boys. So wa» Goldsmith. So was Gibbon. So wns Sir Walter Scott. Napoleon at school had so much difficulty in learning his Latin that the master said he would need a gimlet to get a woid into his head. DougLis Jerrold was so backward in hia boyhood that at nine he was just able to read. Isaac Barrow, one of the greatest divines the Church of England had ever produced, was so impenetrably stupid, in his early years, that his father more often than once anid, that if Clod took away any of his children, he hoped it would be Isaac, ns ho feared he never be fit for anything in this world. Yet that boy was the genius of the family.

The Test of Actual Trial. This is wlint proved the met it of a preparation. Tho pioprietorof Green's August Flower, knowing its valuable pioperties, meets this teat boldly by prupniing snmplo bottles of this remedy, « liicli are sold at (jd. This enables doubteis to try its virtue* at a trifling expense. August Flower is a panacea for Dyspepsia ami all disorders of the Liver, including Biliousness, indigestion, sick Headache. Costivene*a; tec, &c. Three doses will relieve any of the above, and a faithful lice will certainly cure. No medicine in the world hat ever given such proof of its merits. Druggists recommend it with perfect confidence and physicians prescribe it regularly. Piico for full, kized bottles, 3» Qd, gold by all druggit-ts.
