There are ways in which the farmer-boy can earn money, as bygathering the early chestnuts and taking them to the corner store, orby finding turkeys' eggs and selling them to his mother; and anotherway is to go without butter at the table--but the money thus made isfor the heathen. John read in Dr. Livingstone that some of thetribes in Central Africa (which is represented by a blank spot in theatlas) use the butter to grease their hair, putting on pounds of itat a time; and he exclaimed he had rather eat his butter than have it putto that use, especially as it melted away so rapid in that scorchingclimate.
