Paris is a town of contrasts, and no people complain more frequently of the tiresomeness of life tlian tho Parisians. Nxt to the words enprit and tpiritiui tho most frequently used are ennut and its derivative adjec- hve-j. It has been suggested that, per haps, if the Parisians would capture the Pastille every morning they would not find bo deeply bored. As it is, thev are bored for everything bv books, bv mu sic, by the theatre, by their friemls, by their mothers-in-law and, in short, by all the details of life. Jt' rn'mnuie is the universal cry, and rc. m'tHHuyet is its echo, insomuch that on sometimes feels inclined to conclude that the French of to-day are not so gay as their forefathers were, and that the tjni of which they talk so much it a name that ha survived uie reality, i-.uhmi. However, is not a new ailment. The bitterest crv of nnnt- teralde tnnni that ever fell from mortal lips was that of the Hebrew Sardanapa lus, the lord of the seven hundred con cubines, the greatest king, the greatest lover, the gTearfeaf poet, the greatest ar tist, the greatest philosopher of the East, ho, on the morrow perhaps of the visit of t le Cjueen of Sheba, exclaimed that tl.e:t was nothing new under the sun. a Kit ATI. 8 ales, 8ept 20.

The secretary ol Wo do not know as-there is any law to compel girls to act differently about horseback riiliiic, but sometimes it seems as though they took ad vantage of their young malo escorts. It is a well known fact thut a girl will not rido on horse back in public unless she has becomo an accomplished horsewoman. She goes on tho back streets until she has learned to sit a horse beautifully, and has got nerve enough to snatch the under jaw off a horso that tries to do what she don't want him to. And when 6he has got un limited coulidonco in herself, thon sho will rido anywhere, and don't care who sees her, and she looks so independent and wido awake, and jolly, tbat you can not holp admiring her, though you are half blind. On tho contrary, tho aver age young until thinks ho is a horse man, whether ho has been 011 a horse since he rode old "Doll" to plow corn when ho was ten years old or not. Afid tho girls, bless them, often accept the escort of thoso boys who think they can rido, seemingly just to soo tho starch taken out of them. A few weeks ago a party was riding up the Whitcwish bay road on horseback at a good round gal lop. Thero was a girl mid a young man. Tho girl sat 011 her horse like a queen, and sho seeiuod to let her charger out just enough to keep a neck alu-'iid of tho young man. v Aud ho was bound to keep up it it lulled inm. lie sat on Ins horso like a clothespin, and the horso was a hard rider. Tho poor young man looked as though lie wished he was dead. Every time his horse's forefoot cimo down 011 tho ground it did seem as though tho young man's legs wero longer, and that he would have to let out his stirrup straps, Ho held the reins iu his right hand, hold on to tho pommel of tho saddle with his left hand, to keer from breaking in two, his trow sera worked up to his kuees, leaving his drawer tied around his ankles with strings, and his low shoes almost dropped off. The strings -of one draw ers leg iMuuo untied aud tho bare le( Degitn to sliow, ami 11c looked implor ingly it tnc ear of tho girl ahead of him as much as to say, " For heaven's sake, hold up a littlo." But sho was just enjoying herself, and did not seem fo roalizo'tliat she was wearing out a yoniiir man that would bo au ornament to society anywhere except on a hard riiling horso. On they went, until the votina man perspired like a water cooler, while she was cool as zinc, and appar ent! v as unconscious of tlio torture sho was inflicting on her escort as postdble, though tho twinkle in her eye said as plainly as could bo, "This young man has been telling 1110 for over a year that he wis a splendid horseman, and I am going to lnuko him take it back if I have to etfry him homo in a market basket!" His ncektio conies untied, his watch jumps out of his pocket aud hangs dang ling on the saddle, his eyes becomo and fearing that his clothes will alijip shook off, he gai ps, "Elizabeth--for iod's sake hold on and let lue up a collection of myself !" pulls up her charger with her littlo er, and looks at her escort as though was interfering with her enjoyment by Piung, and he smiles as though ho s sea sick anil kivs it is "such fun ling a horse," while he tries snrrep- tiously to get his trowsers to go down v his shoes. ri bun. tu UriiMiIng; Away fiosslp.

Mr. Hill was much annoyed, bnt he remained silent until there was a lull in the tattling. Then ho rose and rang the boll. The servant appeared. "Have you a hearth-brush and dust pan handy?" said Mr. Hill. "Yes, sir," replied tho servant, won dering, as did the family and guests, what the eccentric clergyman could be thinking of. ,-I wish you would let me have them for a few moments." When thev were brought to him he liegan brushing the carpet. "A prodigious quantity of dust and dirt has been scattered this evening," he remarked, as ho brushed away," and I think it had better be removed. The hint thus picturesquely conveyed was taken. During the remainder of the evening the conversation was more becoming to Christian ladies and gentle men. The maelstrom attracts more notice than the quiet fountain ; comet draw more attention than, the iteady Mr; but it is better to be ibe fountain than the maelstrom, ami etar than comet, fid lowing out the spbere and orbit of quiet uaefullness in which God places us. Dr. John Hall. A Scandalous Dog. Once upon a time there lived in the city of New York a wealthy old gentle man who had a wayward son. The young man liked to run with the boys, and man aged to use up considerable of the old gentleman s substance for wine suppers fast teams and other unholy dissipations, Consequently, this young man was always in debt, constantly in need of ready cash, and continually making requisitions on his governor s exchequer At last the old gentleman took a turn ble, whatever that may mean; but the young man, in describing tlie course his father had concluded to pursue, re marked to a friend that the old man had taken a tumble. The said tumble con sisted in his notifying his son and heir that from that on and henceforth no more cash for any funny business, am' the old fellow was as good as his word Down in his heart of hearts the young man was grievous sore, but he assume a stnilo though he felt it not, and made earnest piotestations of reform. Mean whilo he kept on running with the 'boy on tick. Tick is ono of those things that has a limit, and ouo dar the wavward son found himself at the end ot his rope so to speak, ami at his wits' eu.l for funds to keep up Lis end with the other boys, and after canvassing tlie matter in his mind and assuring himself that the old gentleman was inexorable and no com could bo squeezed out of him on a square proposition, ho hit upon a happy ex pedient. Entering the paternal presence and assuming a look of business, he said : "Father, have you read about that man over in Brooklyn that can teach dogs to talk?" If the old man had been in his halcvon days of his youth, he would probably havo said, "Whatyergivinus?'' but being tho father of a family, he said, "What sort of a nonsoiise are you talking about now.' "Fait, snro's you live," said tho vouug hopelui; i ve seen tho tlnng myself, and 1 ditln t know but what it might be good idea to take old Tige and have him taught. A talking dog would boa cheer ful thing to have about tiie house ami would make lots of amusement for tho children." "My son," returned the father sol emnly, "I'm an old man, and have seen a powerful sight of the world, and I tell you this is an ago of humbug." "Ihat's-sU right, father' but isn't it likewise an ago of progress? Look at the locomotive, and the telephone and the Atlantic cable, and tho patent what doyoucallem, nnd all thoso other things they didn't know about in tho davs of the revolutionary fathers." Certainly, certainly my sou; glad to soo you showing such knowledge of the world's progress. And do you really think tho man can teach dogs to talk?" "Sure pop! Hut it don't cost a cent if it's a failure. The Professor says he don't want any money if the dog can't bo taught in one week to carry on a conver sation with anybody. Tho terms are just these: ' You take the dog over and pay tho 50 in advance. If at tho end of a week tho dog can t talk, you get your $50 back again; but if he can talk" yon pay $50 more, making au eveu hundred for tho lessons." ' "Well.it would bo odd to have old Tigo talking around tho house, and I guess we'll try tho thing, anyhow. You can take tho dog over this afternoon if you like." And tho old man went down in his ' kick" as the boys call it, aud handed the boy a 50 note. ligo loft the house that day. From day to day tho old gentleman inquired of his son as to the progress ligo was making 111 his studies, lhe in variable reply of tho son was: "Tho Professor says he's just getting on hue, aud is going to mako a talker from base." At last the eventful day came when Tigo was to be brought home, aud the young man took the other fifty from his trusting parent. That evening he came homo w ithout tho dog. "Where's Tige?" asked the Governor. " See here, father," said tho ysuing man. " I've got something to say and it won't do to speak it out before all the family. I'd like to have about live min utes' conversation with vou iu another room.'' Father aud son retired to another room, locked tho door, shifted paier in the keyhole, and the young man spoke as follows: Well, I went over to Prooklyn and got Tige, and Lo was dreadful glad to see me, you bet. When we got ou the bout I ju.-st thought 1 it have a littlo talk with the old dog to kinder get him broke in, and astonish the folks when we got home. Wo sat down at tho bow of the boat, and I said, " How do. Titre?" Tooty well," said he. " how's the folks?" " Pang tip," savs I. " Gals all well?" said he, " Fine as a liddle," savs I. ' Has Miiiiud.i and that big beau of .era bttrsted any more of the parlor chairs, sittiu' on 'em double?" says he. 1 don t pay much attention to the gal"s love affairs," said I, "and Tige, you tutisii' talk about such things; they're sacred." "Look a here, Jim." eaid Tige, kinder solemn like, and winking out of the coi ner of his eye, "Look a here, does tho old man keep it tip kissing that cham bermaid with the red cheeks and pug nose every time he catches her ou the basement staircase?" Father, just imagine how I felt to have tho dog talk thit way about the author of my being! Now. what was I going to do tinder the circumstances? Could I bring that dog home and have hiin scandalize the family around the neighborhood and before company? Not much! I just coaxed old Tice to the edge of the boat and pushed him over board. Dead dogs tell no tales." "The judgment of the court is that the murder is justifiable and strictly in self defense," said the old man; and he gave the protector of the family honor another fifty, and suggested that it might be just as well to tell the folks that Tige died in fit, and not to mention anything abont his conversational powers. Virginia t-ity Aiiterprtte. Practical Butter Mailtijr-. The pioneer in making butter on th associated plan lnthe .WestisMr I n Wonr, nor of Oneida, Illinois, ; ranks among the most experienced uW men of the country. Here are what U considers some of the essentials in but ter making, taken from a paper pre pared by him for the Northwestern I)ai rymen's Association, and read at its re" cent meeting: Firt, we must have clean milk; with out this, butter cannot be made' ,t ter made from filthy milk umy when fresh from the churn; but as the seeds of destruction aro sown in the process of milking and the uoliver,- to. the factory, the butter soon loses ita fresh taste, and is classed as a poor ar ticle. In order to obtain tho best results the milk should lie cooled, within one hour after milking, down to 05 degrees, and at this temperature delivered nt t, ilairyhouse. When received ut th creamery it should be at ouce broti 'ht down to tiU degrees, and there kept dur ing tho cream raising. If the millr held at this temperature while the cream is rising, then the cream, when taken off is just where wo want it in teuiperatnr and at this point it should be kept until it has taken acid enough to be churned. Avoid all transitions from hot to cold and from cold to hot. When churned at the temperature abovo mentioned tU butter is firm enough to bo workod with out bringing ico iu contact. The prac tioo of cooling cream by tho introduction of ice is, in our opinion, a bad one; also tho practice of warming cream by setting the vessels containing the cream in hot water. In the latter case tho cream npon tho outside of tho vessel becomes melted and thereby reduced to oil, causing a nar, insipid tasto in tuo butter. The habit of some, of setting their cream around tho stove in tho cheoserooin should .be condemned; tho heat is not equalized unless tho cream is constantly stirred, and, to add to this, it is contin ually taking up tho foul odors thrown off by the curing cheeso. W e have in tho last two or threo veam changed our idea in regard to the con struction of the churn that should be used. The old-fashioned dash churn, that we formerly used aud recommended to others, has many objections. Among them, tho greatest is the trouble experi enced by butter makers from the adhe rence of tho cream to tho cover and sides of the churn; if tho cream is thick, tho more it sticks. Now, all that adheres to tho churn is notagitatcd; in other words, not churned, and, if not churned, is lost. is usually scraped down, when the butter shows sigus of gathering. Put what becomes of this portion of the cream, which is no small amount in a huge factory churn? This uuchurned cream is cither taken up by the gather ing butter, or goes to waste iu the buttermilk. If taken up by the butter, it is worse than lost: it carries with it the seeds of destruction; for the union between the cheesy anil buttery portions of tho cream is not broken; if not broken, it is not separated, and all is incorporated in the butter, where it is sure to work mischief. Another serious bjection to the dash churn is that it re quires threo times more power to run it thau to run any of tho revolving churns, which, by their construction and motion, prevent the cream from adhering to the sides, aud are, therefore, more easily cleaned. I am using, with good satis- tction, tho square revolving churn, When cream is churned at 02 to Of legrees the bnttor will begin to gather iu little pellets of the size of kernels of com or peas. Then the churn should lie stopped, and, after standing ten min utes, to allow tho particles of butter to rise to tho top, the buttermilk should be drawn of, anil clean, cold water added at the rate of one-half gallon to each pound of butter. Set the chum again in mo tion, making about ten revolutions; then draw the water off, put in fresh water, and churn again as before, when tho but ter is ready to be taken out and salted. We uso one and one-eighth ounces of salt to ono pound of butter. The water used to wash this bnttor must not bo taken from a well that is iu any way influenced by tho washings of the factory, nor drawn from a wooden cistern. We think that as much butter is spoiled from being washed in impure water as from auy other cause. It is of the greatest importance that we use good salt that which is free from shells, scales and dirt; tho finer the bet ter in our opinion. Fine salt dissolves quickly and leaves no gritty taste. Our butter stands twenty hours after being salted, when it is re-worked and packed for the market. If it stands longer it becomes set, and after working, has the appearance of re-worked butter. As to package, we cannot always suit ourselves as different markets waut different packages. Absolute cleanliness in every depart ment of the creamery is necessary. Tbe accumulation of tilth in drains, in cor ners, under stairs, or even in the imme diate vicinity, outside of the building, soon devolopes bad odors, which are tnken np by the cream, working sure destruction to the butter. A city firm engaged in the provision business in the basement of Quincy mar let was called upon by a new customer, the other day, who remarked, "I pre same I can buy goods as cheap here as anywhere else ?" " Oh, yes." replied the senior member, ' in fact we are al ways under the maiSeL" Maiibled Beef. Americ aus have sue ceeded in producing beef sufliciently fat to meet the demands of anv country. Unfortunately, howover, for the quality of the beef, the fat and lean are not well distributed. The fat is in huge masses and is useless us human food. Speci mens of finely marbled beef are rarely found in this country. Undoubtedly our method of feeding beef cattle caiif the absence of "the slreak of fat aud streak of lean" that are desirable. Onr animals are for the most part fattened on corn, which produces a large atnonnt of hard tallow that is deposited in mass outside the flesh. The best marble lwl is produced by cattle that feed on ric"r tender grasses. The best beef known in a London market comes from the mountainous regions of Scotland and Ireland, where the cattle have little or no grain. It was at one time thought that the breed of the cattle raided in these localities was the cause of the marbled appearance and tlie prime flavor of the meat. It seems now to be settled that the superiority of this beet is due to thepecnliAr feed of the animals. Corn produces an abundance of fat. but it is not fat of the right kind and it i not deposited in the right places. It likely that we have made too much use of corn in tbe production, not onlr 01 pork, but of beef and mutton. Louis Fost-Dispatch.
