LINCOLN BUTTER POWDER
Good Fresh Butter all tlic Tear Bound.
BI TTER IN 20 MINUTES.
Lincoln Blitter Powder is an entirely
harmless article made from a celebrated En
glish raceipe, and now in daily use by many
or tlie most noted farmers in the butter coun
ties around Philadelphia.
In hot weather this Powder mKes butter
mnch firmer and sweeter than it usually is
and Keeps it from turning rancid. It also re
moves the strong flavor of turnips, garlic,
weeds, corn stalKs, cotton seed, etc.; and
the increased yield of butter much more
than pays the trifling expeuseof using it.

what a flush in tho pan would the

the careful analyst, tho ono who

tlmt tho original writer mainly owes

origna'ity within the nature of the
analyst, The streak of gold in the

THE STRUGGLE FOR KXIS
TANOE.
The different members of the nrgnuio
world arc so bound together by complex
relations that one chance usually invol
ves ninny other enauges. Wo know
lilie, it is true, of the way in which one
animal or plant is bound up with others,'
but wo do know that groups tne most
apparently disoonecled are often en
tirely dependent on other groups. Thus
the introduction of gnats into St. Hel
ena destroyed a whole fl >ra of forest
trees. This was the son tenon of death
on nil thepnsects mullusca and perhaps
birds, which found their living on
trees. Swine which run wild ih Man
ritius, exterminated the dnd. Tne
same animal is li e most mortal f>e of
venomou- b> p i.tP.
In many|di.strio.B the brows ngjof cat
tle will prevent the growth of trees.
With the trees an end is put to the in
sects which depend upon the trees, to
die bird which feed unon tho inr.ects,
nn I to the small mammals which live
upon t: e fruit, a-cds, leaves or rovs,
lose eta moreover have the mo-: won
derful influence on the range of mam
mals. Iu Puriiguay a specie of flv de
stroys new born cattlo and horses,
ilenoo neither of thtse animals run
wild in that country, although they
abound in the adjacent regions. This
leads to a creat difference in the veg
itntio.i of Paraguay, and thuogh that
to a difference m its insects birds rep
tiles, and wild animats. The extinc
tion of ■ hie fly woti’d change tho whole
face of the country. So in South Afri

THE MAGIC BULLET.
Many years ago, when the white
men who liad 4 sceri ibo Rocky Mountains
migiitjstilljliavc been counted, and only
a vary few of the prune ladiuns knew
the tisc of flro arms, n hunter named
Fitzpatrick had ono day gut separated
from hi* compatiions und was pursuing
his gain a alone in the wilderness when,
as ill hick would have it, he was seen
by n patty of Indiana, then on the war
path, wh • immediately prepared tojgivo
chase. Thors was not the smallest
chance of escape for him; but the joung
tinnier Hindu a hint of turning away,
in order if possible, to gain time. Ho
happened to know that these snvayes,
who ns yet, were very little acquuintad
aiilt the the use of fire arms, had sev
eral times, wl co they lad taken white
t.riso ers, put tho muzzles of their rifles
c’ sc to their breast and fired them, by
way of t xperiment, to see what would
-totue tif it lie, therefore, thought it
prudent to cxtjc! the bullit from his,
und then continue his flight. The In
dians followed and very soon ovctto>k
him, disarmed him und tied him to a
true. One of the warriors, who. it ap
|.eared, understood Imw to pull a trig
ger,, seized the tide, and placed himself
a fi w puces ill front of the owner of it,
und took aim at him and fired. But
when the Indian looked eagerly through
'he smoko t-wad where Fi'zpntrio
etood, they saw lie was safe arid sound
in hi- place, and ho quietly took out
of his pocket the bullet lie had previous
ly placed there and tossed it to his en
inics, v.lio were all amazement. Tticy
declared lie iiad stop; ed the bullet in
its High'; that ho was uu invuloerablo

more that some gteat ui's'oriuno would
