From Harper' Weekly. ROTIIIXG TO WEAR. AN EPISODE OP CITY LIFE. Miss Flora M'Flimsev, of Madison Square, Has made three separate journeys to Parisy An J her father assures me each time she was there That the and her friend Mr. Harri?, (Not the lady whose name is so famous in history, But plain Mi-?. H. w ithout romance or mystery,) Spent six consecutive weeks without stopping, Shopping alone, and shopping together, At all hours of the day, and in all sorts of weath

er; For all manner of things that woman can put On the crown of her head or the sole of her foot. , . KlMml!p or fi, -., wa:s. j i Or that can be sewed on, or pinned on, or laced, fw w..l nn u-ttV a clrinn rtr ctitrlwil (in witll hott' " cf-. . In front or behind, above or below, For bonnets, mantillas, capes, collars and shawls; Dresses for breakfast, dinners and balls; Dresses to sit in, to stand in, to walk in, Dresses to dance in, to flirt in, to talk in, Dresses in which to do nothing at all, Dresses for Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall; AH of them diiferent in color and pattern, j Silk, muslin, and lace, crape, velvet, fine gatin, Brocade and Broadcloth, and other material, Quite as expensive, and much more ethereal; In short, for all things that could ever be thought of, From ten thousand francs robes to twenty sous frills; In all quarters of Pari?, ami to evrry store. While M'Fliinscr in Tain stormed, scoMed asd swore. They footed the streets, and he footed the bills The last trip, tlc jr got-d shipped by t he Steamer Arago, Formed, MTKarsey declares, the bulk of her carNot to mention a quantity kept from the rest. Sufficient to fill the largest sized chest, Which did not apftcar on the ship's manifest, But for which the ladies themselves manifested Such particular interest, that they invested Their own proper persons 111 layers and rows Of muslins, embroideries, worked under clothes, Gloves, Handkerchiefs, scarfs kiid such trifles as those, Then wrapped in preat shawls, like Circjisn beautic?, G ive gooJ-Ly to the ship, and yo-btf to the duties, Her relation at home all marvelled, 110 doubt, Miss Flora had grown so enormously stout, For an aciual belle and a possible bride. But the Miracie ceased when she turned inside cut, And the truth came to light, and the dry goods beside, Which, in spits of Collector aFid Custom House sentry, Had entered the port without any entry. And yet, though sen rce three months hae pasted since tiie day, This merchandise went, on twelve carts, up Broadway, This sune Miss M'Flimsey, of Madison Square, The last time we met, was in utter despair. Because she had nothing whatever to wear. Nothing to wear! Now as this is a true ditty, I do not assert this, vou know, is between us That she's in a state of absolute nudity, Like Power's Greek Slave, or the Medici Venus; But I do mean to say, I have heard het declare. When, at the same moment, she had on a dress, Which cost five hundred dollars and not a cent less, And jewelry worth ten times more, I should guess That she had not a thing in the wide world to wear. I should mention just here, that out of Miss Flora's Two hundred and fifty or sixty adorers, I had just been selected as he who should throw all The rest in th shade, by the gracious bestowal Ou myself, after twenty or thirty rejections, Of those fossil remains which slw called "her affections;" And that rather decaye1 birt well-known work of art. Which Miss Flora persisted in styling "her heart." So c are engaged. Our truth had been plighted Not by moonbeam or starbeam, by fountain or grove But in a f ront parlor, most brilliantly lighted, Beneath the gas fixtures we whispered our love, Without any romance, or raptures or sig hs, Without any tears in Miss Flora's blue eyes, Or blushes or transports, or such silly nctions, It was one of the quietest business transactions, With a very small sprinkling of sentiment, if any, And a very large diamond imported by Tifl'any, On her virginal lipu while I printed akis, She cs claimed, as a sort of Parenthesis, And by way of putting me quite at my ease, "You know I'm to Polka as much as I please, And flirt when I like now stop, don't you speak And you must not come here more than twice in the week. Or talk to me either at party or ball, But always be ready to come when I call; So do not prose to me about duty :.id stufT, If we don't break this iff there will be time enough For that sort of thing, but the bargain must be, That, as long as I rhoose, I am perfectly free, Fortius is a srt of engagement you see. Which is binding on you, but not binding on me." Well having thus wooed Miss M'Flimsey and gained her, "With the silks, crinolines and hoops that contained her, I had, as I thought, a contingent remainder, At leiut in the property, and the best right To appear as its escort by day and by night ; And it being the week of the Stuckup's grand ball Their cards had been out for a foi night or so, An set all the Avenue on the tip toe, I considered it only my duty to call, And see if Miss Flora intended to go. I found her as ladies are apt to be found, When the time intervening between the first sound Of the bell, and the visitor's entrance is khorter Than usual I found; I won't say caught her Intent on the pier-glass, undoubtedly meaning To see if perhap it didn't need cleaning, She turned as I entered 'Why, Harry, you sinner, I thought you went to the Flashers to dinner!' So I did,' I replied, 'but the dinner is swallowed, And digested, I trust, for 'tis now nine or more, So being relieved from that duty, I followed Inclination, which led rue, you see, to your door. And now will your ladship so condescend A just to inform me if you intend Your bn.y, and groee, aud pref nf to lend.

(All which, while I own, I hope no one will borrow,) To the Stuckups, whose party you know 19 to-morrow?' The fair flora looked up with a pitiful air, And answered quite promptly, Why Harry, mancher, I should like above all things to go with you there; But actually and truly I've nothing to wear.' 'Nothing to wear! go just as you are; Wear the dress you have on, and you'll be by far, I eagage, the most bright and particular star On the Stuckups' horizon" I stopped, for her eye

Notwithstanding this delicate enset of flattery, Opened or. me at once a most terrible battery Of scorn and amazement. She made no reply, But gave a slight turn to the end of her nose, (That pure Grecian feature, as much as to say,) 'How absurd that any sane man should suppose That a lady would go to a ball in the clothes, No matter how fine, that she wears every day!" So I ventured again 'Wear your crimson brocade,' (Second turnup of nose) 'That's too dark by a shade.' Your blue silk,' 'That's too heavy;' Your pink,' 'That's too light.' 'Wear tulle over satin,' I can't 'ndure white.' Your rose-colored then, the best of the batch.' 'I haven't a thread of point lace to match.' Your brown noire antique,1 Yes,and look like a Quaker; 'The pearl-colored' 'I would, but that plaguey dress-maker Has had it a week' 'When that exquisite lilac, In which you could melt the heart of a Shy lock,' (Here the nose took again the same elevation) 'I wouldn't wear that for the whole of creation.' Why not? It's my fancy, there's nothing could strike it As wre covtme il fauV 'Yes, but dear me, that lean Sophronia Stuckup has got one just like it, And I won't appear dressed like a chit of sixteen.' 'Then that splenid purple, that sweet Mazarine; That zephyr-like tarleton, that rich grenadine" Not one of all which is fit to be seen Said the lady.beconvng excited and flushed. Theft wear, I exclaimed in a tone which quite Crushed Opposition, 'that gorceous toillttte, which you sported In Paris last spring, at the grind presentation, When you juitc turned the head of the head of the nation And by all the grand court were bo very much courted.' The end of the nose was portentously tipped up, And both the bright eyes shot forth indignation, Ai she burst upon me with the fierce exclamation: 'I have worn it three times at the least calculation. And that and the most of my dresses are ripped up!' Here I ripped out something perhaps rather rash; Quite innocent though; but to use an expression Mote striking than classic, it 'settled my hash;' And proved very soon the last act ef our session. 'Fiddlesticks, is it sir? I wonder the ceiling Doesn't fall down and crush you oh you men have no feeling, You selfish, unnatural, illiberal creatures, Who set yourselves up as patterns and preachers, Your silly pretense why, what a mere guess it is, Pray, what do you know of a woman's necessities? I've told you and shown you I've nothing to wear, And it's perfectly plain you not only don't care, But you don't believe me (here the nose went still higher,) I suppose, if you dared you would call me a liar. Our engagement is ended, sir yes, on the spot; You'ie a brute, and a monster, and I don't know what.' I mildly suggested the words Hottentot, Pickpocket and cannibal, Tartar and thief, As gentle expletives which might give relief; But this only proved as a spark to the powder, And the storm I had raised grew faster and louder It blew and raised, th und red, lightened and hailed Interjections, verbs, pronouns, till language quite failed To express the abusive, and then its arrears Were brought up all at once by a torrent of tears. And my last, faint, despairing attempt at an obsErvation was lost in a tempest of sobs. Well, I felt for the lady, and felt for my hat too, Iniprorise'd on the erown of the latter a tattoo, In lieu of expressing the feelings which lay Quite too deep for words, as Wadsworth would say; Then, without going through the form of a bow, Found myself in the entry I hardly knew how On door-step and sidewalk, past lamp-post and square, At home and up-stairs, in my own easy chair; Poked my feet into slippers, my fire into blaze, And said to myself, as I lit my eigfir. Supposing a mm had the wealth of the Czar, Of the Russians to boot, for the rest of his days, On the whole do you think he would have much to spare If he married a woman with nothing to wear? Since that night, taking pains that it should not be bruited Abroad in society, I've instituted A course of inquiry, extensive and thorough, On this vital subject, and find to my horror, Tkittue f.iir Flora case is by 110 means surprising, But that there exists the greatest distress In our tenia1 community, mdely urisiii" From this uusupplied destitution of dress, Whose unfortunate victims are filling the air With the pitiful cry of 'nothing to wear.' Researches in some of the 'Upper Ten Districts.' Reveal the most painful and startliag statistics, Of which let me mention only a few: In one single house en the Fifth Avenue, Three young ladies were found all below twentytwo. Who have been three whole weeks without auything new, In the way of flounced silks and thus left in the lurch, Are unable to go to ball, concert, or church. In another large mansion near the same place, Was found a deplorable, heart rending case Of entire destitution of Brüssel' point lace. In a neighboring block there was found, in three calls, Total want.long continued; of camel hair shawls; And a Buffering family, whose case exhibits The most pressing need of real ermine tippets; One deserving young lady almost unable To survive for the wrnt of a new Russian cable; Another confined t the h )uso when it' windier

Than usual, because her shawl isn't India.

Still another, whose tortures have been most terrific Ever since the sad loss of tht steamer Pacific, In which were engulfed, not friend or relatioc, (For whose fate she perhaps might have found con eolation Or borne it at least, with serene resignation) But the choicest assortment of French sleeves and collars Ever sent from Paris, worth thousands of dollars, And all as to style most recherche and rare, The want of which leaves her with nothing to wear And renders her life 60 drear and dyspeptic, That she's quite a recluse, and almost a skeptic, For she touching! y says this kind of grief Cannot find in religion the slightest relief, And Philosophy has not a maxim to spare For the victims of such overwhelming despair But the saddest of all these sad features Is the cruelty practised upon the poor creatures By husbands and fathers, real Bluebeards and Timon, Who resist the most touching appeals made for diu monds By their wivts and their daughters, and leave tbem for days 1 Unapplied with new jewelry, fans or boquets, Even laugh at their miseries when thej fve a chance And deride their demands aisselefs extravagance; One case of a bride was brought to my view, To sad for belief, but alas! 'tras too true, Whose husband refused, as savage as Charon, To permit her to take more than ten trunks to Sharon, The consequence was that when she got there, At the end of three weeks she had nothing to wear. And when she proposed to finish the season At Newport, the monster refused out and out, For his infamous conduct alleging as reason, Except that the waters were good for his gout; Such treatment as this was too shocking of course, , And proceedings are now going on for divorce. But w hy harrow the feelings by lifting the curtain From these scenes of woe? Enough, it is certain, Has been here disclosed to stir up the pity Of every benevolent heart in the city, And spur up humanity into a canter, To rush and relieve these sad cases instanter; Won't somebody, move'd by this touching description, Come forward to-morrow and head a subscription? Won't some kind philanthropist, seeing that aid is So needed at once !y these indigent ladies, Take charge of the matter? er won.t Peter Cooper The corner stone lay of some splendid superstructure like that which to-day links his name In the Union unending of honor and fame; And found a new charity just for the care Of these unhappy women with nothing to wear, Which in view of the cash that would daily be chimed, The Laying-out Hospital well might be named? Won't Stewart, or some of our dry goods importers, Take contract for clothing our wives and our daughters? Or to furnish the cash to supply these distresses, And life's pathway ftrew with shawls, collars, and dresses, Ere the want of them makes it much rougher and thornier! Won't some one discover a new California? Oh ladies, dear ladies, the next sunny day Please trundle your hoops just out of Broadway. From its whirl and its bustle, its fashion and pride, And the temples of Trade which tower on each side, To the Alleys and lanes where Misfortune and Guilt Their children have gathered, their city have built, Where Hunger and Vice, like twin beasts of prey, Have haunted their victims to grief and despair; Raise the rich, dainty dress, and the fine broidered skirt, Pick your delicate way through the dampness and dirt, Grope through the dark den, climb th rickety stair To the garret, where wretches, the young and the old, Half starved and half raked, lie crouched from the cold, See those skeleton limb?, those frost bitten feet, All bleeding and bruised by the stones of the street; Hear the sharp cry of childhood, the deep groans that swell From the poor dying creatures that writhes on the floor; Hear the curses that sound like the echoes of Hell; As you sicken and shudder and fly from the door; Then home to your wardrobes and say if you dare Spoiled children of Fashion you've nothing to wear! And oh! if perchance there should be a sphere, Where all is made right which so puzzles us here Where the glare and the glitter, and tinsel of Time Fade and die in the light of that region sublime Where the soul, disenchanted of flesh and of ßcnse, Unscreened by its trappings and shows and pretense Must be clothed for the life and the service above, With purity, truth, faith, meekness and love; Oh, daughters of Earth! foolish virgins beware! Lest in that upper realm you have nothing to wear! Bee Moths. Look to the bees and set your moth traps, by raising the hives and resting tho corners on llat bits of wood, hollowed, out on th bottom, so the moths can go under and spin tludr willing shcols, and yu can rise their cover evcty few days, and do the job for them. B faithful iu this work now. and you will save the propagation of thousands to trouble the hives in the fall. Also, see that you have spare hives ready to house the new swarms, when they come. We have seen a good many patent hives and palaces, but we do not know of a better hive for farmers than a clean plank box, with a hole in the lop for extra caps, take offsurplus hoey. Ohio Cultivator. jClTA copper kettle has been found seventeen feet below the surface of the earth, near Alton, 111., imbedded in a rein of coal. It was found on Buffalo Rock, on the Illinois river. Some of tho citizens think it was brought there by some of the early French missionaries, over two hundred year9 ags; others give it a much earlier date. All ask. how could it come into a solid bed of coal I This question none can answer. London contains 2,500,000 inhabitants.

From Putnam's Monthly. The Irish Highwayman.

Doctor V , the Bishop of Cashel, having occasion to visit Dublin, acccmpa nied by his wife and daughter, determined to perform the journey by easy stages, in his own carriage, and with his own sleek and well-fed horses, instead of trusting his bones to the tender mercies of an Irish post-chaise, and the unbroken garcons used for driving these crazy vehicles. One part of his route was through a wild and mountainous district; and the bishop, being a very humane man, and considerate to his cattle, made a point of quitting his carriage at the foot of every hill and walking to the top. On one of these occasions he had loitered to look at the extensive prospect, indulging in a reverie upon its sterile appearance, and the change that agriculture might produce, anel in so doing suffered his family and servants to be considerably in advance; perceiving this, ho hastened to make up for lost time, and was stepping out with his best speed, when a fellow leap ed from behind a heap of loose stones, and aediropnjing the flourish of a huge club with a demoniac yell, demanded 3Jony,r with a ferocity of tone and manner perfect ly appal ing. The Bishop gave the robber all the sil ver he had loose in his pocket, hoping that it would satisfy him; but he was mistaken, for no sooner had the ruffian stowed it away in a cap-cious rent in his tattered garment, than with another whirl of his bludgeon, and with an awful oath, he exclaimed Ah! is it with the likes of thim I'm after lettiu you off? a few paltry tinpinuies! It's the gould I'll have, or I'll splatter your brains. Arrah, don't stand shivering and shaking there like a Quaker in the ague, but lug out your purse, you divil, immediately, or I'll bate you as blue as a whetstone.' His lordship most reluctantly yielded his well-filled purse,, saying, in tremulous ac-i cents: 'My good fellow, there it is, don't ill use me I've given you all, pray let me depart.' Fair and sofdy, if you please; as sure as I'm not a good fellow, I havn't done with you yet. I must sarcli for your note ease, for I'll eni;ae you have a few bits of paper payable at the bank; so you had better hand it over, or you'll sup sorrow tonight." It va3 given up; a glance at the road showed that all hope of assistance from his servants was unavailing, the carriage had disappeared, but tho bishop made an insiinctive movement as though anxious to escape from further pillage. 'Vrait awhile, tr may be I shall get angry with you; hand over your watch and seals, and then you may trudge,' said the robber. Now it happened that the divine felt a particular regard for his watch not so much from its being of considerable value, but because it had been presented to him by his first patron, and he ventured to expostulate. Surely you have taken enough; leave me my watch, and I'll forgive all you have done.' Who ax'tl your forgiveness, yoa ould varmint? Would you trifle with my good nature? Don't force me to do anything I'd be sorry for; but, without any more bother just give me the watch, or by all that's hoAnd ho jerked the bludgeon from his right and to his left, spat iu the bony palm of the former, and re-grasped the formidable weapon as though bent on bringing it into execution: this action was not unheeded by his victim; he drew forth tho golden time-piece, and with a r.eavy sigh handed it to his spoiler, who, rolling the chain and sea's around it, found some wider aperture in hi apparel into which ho crammed it; and giving himself a shake to ascertain that it had found, by its own gravity, a place of safety, ho said: And nojv bo oil with you, and thank tho blissed saints that vou lave mo without a scratch on my 6kin, or the value of your little linger hurt.' It needed ho persuasion to induce the bishop to turn his back upon the despoiler of his worldly goods, and having no weight to carry he setoff at what equestrians term 'a hand canter;' scarcely, however, had he reached the middle of the precipitous road when he perceived his persecutor running after him. He endcaved to redouble his speed. Alas! what chance had he in a race with one whoso muscles were as strong and elastic as hightcmpred steel? 'Stop, :you nimblo footed thief of the worldl 1 have a parting word with you yet.' Tho exhausted and defenceless clergyman, finding it impossible to continue his flight, suddenly came to a stand-still. The fellow approached, and his face, instead of hs former ferocity, w.u lit up with a whimsical roguish ness of expression, as ho said: 'And is it likclv I'd let vou off with a hot

ter coat on your back than my own? and will I be after losing the chance of that

beautiful hat and wit:? Off with them this very moment, and then you will be quit o' me. Tho foot pad quickly divested the bishop of his single-breasted coat laid violent hands upon the clerical hat and full-bot tomed wig put them on his own person, and then insisted on seeing his late apparel used in their stead; and with a loud laugh, ran off, as though his last feat had been the most meritorious of his life. Thankful for having escaped with un broken bones, hi3 lordship was not long in overtaking his carriage; the servants could not repress their laughter at seeing their sttvster in such strange and motley attire; but there was in his face such evidence of terror and suffering, that they speedily checked their risible inclinations, particularly when they learnt by a few brief words the danirer he had nndemone. 3Jy dear W ,' exclaimed his affec tionate wife, after listening to the account of the perils to which her husband had been exposed, 'for heaven's sak take off that filthy jacket, and throw it out at the! window. You can put my warm cloak on your shoulders till we reach the neat stage, and then you will be able to purchase some habit better suited to vour station and call ing. That is more easily said than done, rny love he rep lied; 'I have lost all the money I possessed; not a tingle guinea is left me to pay our expenses to-night. My watch too, that I so dearly prized! Miserable man that I am! Xever mind your watch, or anything else, just now only pull off that mass of filth, I implore you; who knows wir t horrid contagion we may all catch if you persist in wealing it?' Take it off, dear papa,' observed the daughter, 'but don't throw it awaj ; perhaps it may lead to tho detection of the wretch who robbed you.' The obnoxious garment was removed; the young lady was about to place it under the seat, uhen she heard a jingling noise that attracted her attention, and, on exami nation, found, accreted, in various parts of the coat, not only the watch, pocket-book, purse and silver, of which her father had been deprived, but a yellow canvas bag, such as is used by farmers, containing about thirty guineas. The surprise and joy of all parties may be imagined; they reached the inn where they proposed stopping for the night, and as the portmanteaus had escaped the dangers of the road, the bishop was speedily abletoattire himself canonically. Before the party retired for rest, intelligence arrived that the highwayman had been taken, after a desperate resistance the notice of the police being attracted by the singular appearance of a man of his station sporting a new black coat, and covering his shaggy, carroty locks with the well-powdered and orthodox peruke of tho light reverend, the Bishop of Cashel. Too 3Iauy Word. An Eastern writer, treating of the law's delay, has some excellent remarks on this standing topic of camplaint among those who have business in our courts of justice. Ir is to "the habit of overstatement and exalteration of usin; too manv tine words" that the writer and too ascribes much of tho slowness with which the law "drairs its length alon. Of all countries, our own seems in this respect to be the most grievously afflicted. Kct only in the court house, but everywhere else, we are literally deluged by our public speakers with words words words. Everybody seems born to make long speeches, as the sparks to fly upwards. The Aristotelian theory that Nature abhors a vacuum appears to be a universal belief, and all are laboring to fill up tho realms of empty space with "mouthfuls of spoken wind.' The quantity of breath that is wasted at our public meetings religious, political, philanthropic, and literary is incalculable. Hardly a railroad or canal is opened, but the occasion is seized on as a chance for speeches of "learned length and thundering sound;" and even a new hotel can not throw open its doors without an amount of breath being expended, sufficient, if economically used, to waft a ship across the Ai'antic. One is struck, iu reading the "thrillinir" addresses on vaiious occasions, which are said to have "chained as with hooks of ste-el tho attention of thousands," to 8eo what tasteless word-piling passes with many for eloquence.

obsolete. Our orators butterflies upon to drown a fly loding cannon to shoot at humming birds. Thought and expression are Btipplanted by the lungs and thedicttouary. Instead of great thoughts couched iu a few, close, home, significant sentences, we have a mass of verbiage delivered in a style of pompous, windy eleclamalion. Instead of ideas brought before us, as South expresses it, likv water in a well, where you have fullness in a little compass. w Iiova flirt cmA rtikil fMit inf ntiiv petty, creeping rivulets, wilh length and j Rhairnwnoftft toirether. , It isin our legislative 1 odios 0at this nuisance has reacheil the most farcical climax. A member nisy have a thought or a fact which may settle t question, but if it ni.av bo couched in a sentence 01 ho, he

thinks it is not worth deliveiing. Unless he can wire-draw it into a two hour' speech, or at least accompany it with 6om? needless verbiage to plump it out in the report, he will sit etock stock mill, and leave the floor to those who have fewer ideas and more words at command. The public mind, too, like the human stomach, revolts against nourishment in highly concentrated forms; it requires bulk a? well hs nutriment, a demand which, it is said, some of the Russian peasantry satisfy by mixing sawdust with their train oil. Then again, (and this is one of the grand causes of Lng winded speeches,) there is a sort of reverence entertained for a man who can spout two or three hours on the stretch; and the wonder is heightened, if he dees it without making a fool of himself Nothing, however, can be more absurd than to regard mere volubility as a proof of intellectual jower. So far is this from being true, that it may hi doubted whether any large-thoughted man, who was accustomeel to grapple with the great problems f lif.

and society, andtoexptess himself with ac curacy and discrimination, ever found it easy on tho rostrum to deliver his thoughts with fluency and grace. An nbie vner on this subject says that he recollects, when a bov, listening to a conversation between two clergymen the one an educated but voluble extemporaneous speaker, the other an educated man, and a writer of beautiful. clear and logical sermons, but notoiiousfof the hesitancy which he manifested whenever he attempted to-preaeh without notes. 'IIow is it, brother L.,' said the latter, 'that you, without education, are. able to get up at a moment's warning, and speak so well, while I just as certainly fiil as I attempt it? 'Well, brother S., I'll tell vou. You are just like a rich farmer, who goes into a tool-house to get a ho?, and iinds so many that it takes hk half an hour to find the best; and, as likely as not, after all, goes off in a hurry with a poor one; while I am just like one of Iris men, who hires out by the day, and comes in the morning to- tho cornfield, all ready for work, with his hie on 7i's stoulJer.' The thoroughly educ-t-ted man, as one has observed, very olten fails as an extemporaneous speaker, from mere excess of thought and good taste. while a toadstool of .a fellow, without edcation, and with scarce brains enough to furnish the head of a clever p: rmt, goes off in a steady stream of words, as if he were a rain spout in a thunder storm.

This operation is extremely simple and practicable for a:!. It consists in beating the butter in a sufficient quantity of water, in which had bii mixed 25 to 3d drops of chloride of lime t two pounds of butter. After having t-rongt all its parts in contact with water, it may be left for an hour or two; af.erwai d i;hdrawn and washed anew in fresh water.

XSTA countrywoman was carryirg on a very simple process against a neighbor iu one of the small courts of Germany.
