• In his last report the United States Consul at Mannheim refers to an important discovery by German chemists of a fatty substance in the cocoanut ; that makes a good substitute for butter. Immediately after !| the discovery a firm was established ia Mannheim for the purpose of manufacturing the new article, to which it has given the r name of cocoanut butter. Although - in existence only a year, it is unable to meet the constant demands made on it.' It produces daily 3000 kilos, of butter, which it retails at from to 7Jd per lb. The nuta \ come mainly from the South Sea Islands. |; The new butter is of a clear, whitish colour, and is said to be better adapted for cooking ;| than table purposes. It is neither disagree- ;> able to the taste nor smell; '■s At present Jft Jf is chiefly used in hospitals and other instita* tions, but it is rapidly finding its way into ; houses where the people are too poor to buy | butter." The working classes are " rapidly 4| adopting it in place of oleomargarines. lb is said to be singularly free from acids, therefore easy of digestion. In Germany there are about fifty factories engaged ia.; producing margarines and other artificial butters. . ■■■ :■ ■ ■.

Think how much of yout own life that is practically wasted might ba brought to produce results if , you could adjust your daily routine of duties to tha. tireless economy of time practised in a welW adjusted manufactory. Prom the need o{ multiplying'the minute (or what is essentia ally the same, multiplying the result*} ha*: s arisen everyTnvention, every advance in ap- ...-■ plied science and benefit. The Wonderful : " Waterhnry" is one of those results, and' from every corner of the civilised globe its praise he s been resounded. : Every part of its beautiful mechanism is manufactured by the most perfect machinery, and its con-* struction is so simple that in the event or any accident befalling one of them, the;,a injured part or parts may be duplicated aa, but small cost, at any of the company's} depots established for the purpose in various; .-■? parts of the colonies. Purchasers should ba, careful to avoid cheap watches of Swiss and; German make, purposed to " travel" on th 4 reputation so deservedly gained by tha\ " Waterburj'." ■ NOTE.- „ .
