tv> GENERAL BREVITIES. In Paris kitchen utensils used by all hotels, restauraunts, confectioners, etc., are periodically inspected by public officer^ with a view to saving the public from poisoned pies, etc.. A long time ago, in Mason County, Kentucky, an old toper agreed to fight a ferocious ram, the prize being a quart of whisky. The whole village collected to see the fight. Both man and ram charsred at the same time, but the man quickly righted, and planting his foot upon the lifeless carcass of his foe, demanded and drank the whisky. Just at the moment of collision the man had dropped his head, and the nose of the ram coming in contact with the elevated shoulders, the animal’s neck- was broken. A Mohammedan priest, Ahmed Effendi, has been for years assisting a company of Protestant missionaries in a translation of the New Testament, receiving $25 per month for revising, correcting, anjl dotting in poetical TurkIM uiiuuig tu fie knowledges the Sheik-ul-Islam, he had the priest arrested and tried by an ecclesiastical court. A religious excitement was stirred up, and was fanned by the Turkish press, and when the last mail left Constantinople the court was hesitating whether to sentence Ahmed to fifteen years’ imprisonment in .a fortress or to death. There is a venerable and benevolent Judge in one of the Paris tribunals who, at the moment of passing sentence on a prioner, consults liis assessors on each side of him as to the penalty proper to be inflicted. “What ought we to give this rascal, brother?’’ he says, bending over to the assessor on the right. “I should say three years.” “ What is your opinion, brother?” to the assessor on the left. “ I should give him about four years.” The judge (with benevolence) —“ Prisoner, not desiring to- sentence yon to a long term of imprisonment, as I should have done were I left to myself, I have consulted my learned brothers and shall take their advice. Seven years.” 7 7 The Chinese in California have begun to go. The steamer that sailed from San Francisco for Hong Kong on the 15th took 901 of theip to their native land. The port statistics of San Francisco show that the arrivals of Chinese during the year ending Nov. 1 were 6,128, and departures 8,746—of whom 6,229 went to China and 2,517 to Honolulu—the excess of departures over ar- • rivals being 2,618. It is estimated that there are 62,000 Chinese on the Pacific coast, which shows that this population is decreasing instead of increasing, for when the anti-Chinese agitation was be<gun, a few years ago, the estimate was 100,000. The total number of Chinese arrivals for the 20 years ending December, 1878, was 230,480, and the departures and deaths 133,491, At this rate the ChinesS Will soon cease to trouble California-workingmen. w_

JiULlOU • 4 a xiuoxin ui uiu vcuum Colony, Cal .'x has 28 acres of vineyard, ~20 in bearing this third year from cuttings, from which she has already made, according to the Pacific Surat Press, 6,000 pounds of raisins, and will add 2,000 pounds morn during the season. The Muscat of Alexandria and Muscate de Gorda -Blanco are the varieties of grapes used. Miss Austin employed this season 1,000 platforms during the /butting process. Her vines yielded an average of 10 pounds each of grapes the first season of bearing. Her grape product this season will pay all expenses of the vineyard, pay for the platforms, boxes, etc., Which can be used successive seasons, and possibly a small marfin above. She is very justly proud of er success "Mid enthusiastic ovfer tjie future prospects of the raisin industry in this country**. This sea yields many precious things -—coral, amber and pearts—but it is not generally known that in certain parts of the Mediterranean a species of mussel is found of which the shells contain one of the most beautiful textile materials known. These shells are about seven inches long iypiJ,hree inches broad, and each of them oontai contains a hank or byssus or the fiber, weighing half a drachm, and at first it presents nothing particular to the eye, being soiled with the mud and remains of marine plants. But when washed and combed the fibers are seen to be extremely lustrous, glistening in the sunshinain shades varying from golden yellow to olive brown. Spun and woven in the ordinary manner, stockings, gloves, neckties and similar articles can bp.rnauufactured from them, and they are likewise specially suited for making the finest lace. At present the production of - these fibres hardly exceeds 200 kilogrammes (3cwt. 3 qrs.) a year.

Endurance of the Horse. In order to test the endurance of horses in the cavalry service, a trial match on horseback was recently undertaken by eight Italian officers of the Novara Cavalry Regiment. The task was to travel *312 miles from Milan, through Verona, Mcdena and Piscenza, back to Milan in five days, over roads generally ,jood, but in some few places muddy, with deep nits. The task was accomplished with some hours to spare, and without undue fatigue to the horses. Thirteen ]>ounds of -orn, and from six and a halt to eight t.nd a half pounds of hay were found to be sufficient daily rations for each horse during the march, and occasionally a l ittle water thickened with a little flour and salt. On arriving at their stables the horses were always well wished, and half an hour afterward their girths lessened. The average rate cf marching during the journey was between five and five and a half miles an hour; this, of course, included occasional trots.—Tim/, Field and Farm One of the marked effects of the revival of business is the employment of an unusually large number of children in the Massachusetts mills. This fact keeps the police busy in prosecuting owners who are violating the comparatively new law which defines the conditions under which children may be put at such work.

ME NATURAL CHILD. A“ * «?'» to Ignorant Mother Torturas It in J?“k* « °’*1‘ Aeoortlngto th* Conventional Pattern. [From the Boston Advertiser.'] Opposite, is a young woman with a little child. An angelic child. This is no common creature, and it would be difficult to exaggerate her beauty. She is as delicate ana dainty as a fairy. At first one only saw .the lonely pieture of rosy cheeks,' deep blue eyes—made quite angelic by dark lashes—the enchanting, laughing mouth, absolutely illumined by the sweet baby teeth, and the finishing touch of a loose yellow curl showing below tlte white cap. Very soon, however, any woman notices that child is not only becomingly, but very expensively, dressed, and when it becomes manifest that the mother is probably the wife of a mechanic, it occurs to one to wonder what would be the emotions of a European mother of this class, on seeing a child of hers arrayed in all this lace, embroidery and the softest and snowiest of woolen wraps. At once all eyes are drawn,, this sweetest of sweet things—a beautiful child. The fiirst person to notice her is a pleasant looking man, who sits with his wife, in the seat next to the baby. Something about them makes one feel that this is a childless pair. The baby at this moment is half fitting, half lying on her mother’s lap, kicking up one little red-shod foot against the back of the next seat. She is almost the only unconscious creature in the car as she lies thore perfectly happy and at ease. Friendly man stretches out his hand toward her. Up spings the mother and with a nervous hand seizes the little foot, puts baby into a conventional attitude, saying with an accent of horror, “Why, Maud! Yonr foot does not'look very pretty up there.” “ What is your name?” asks the man. The baby, bless her heart! has now worked herself down again, into her pretty attitude, and again kicks up the little red foot making no answer to the stranger. Again the mother seizes the foot, glancing anxiously around at us all, and repeating, “ Why, Maud! Tell the gentleman what your name is; Maud, Maud! tell the gentleman what your name is.”

nai>y is gazing happily* now at a birtl in a cage hanging near, and visible through a rent in the paper cover; but the mother can not leave her in peace, and begins a vigorous pushing back of the y ellow hair under the cap. We can all feel how it pulls. That done, she stiffens up the angel in her lap into the attitude of a tv ax doll and begins the exhibition again: “ Can't you tell the gentleman how old you are?” _ “Most two,” the baby answers promptly. “ Oh, no; not most two,” the mother says solemnly; “ two years old, Maud; say two years old.” And then—Maud, say this, and Maud, say that, is repeated over and over, the little victim being shown off and put through her paees, without a moment’s peace or rest, for so long that it makes one’s ears and heart ache. It is a relief when the friendly man reaches out his arms to the baby in a gentle way, and she raises her blue eyes to his, and seeing that yearning look there which a love of children often puts into a, man’s eyes, and which even a young baby knows how to lead, straightway holds out her arms to him, and he lifts her over the back of the seat with that expression, wholly pleased and half surprised, whieh becomes one who had received the highest of compliments— the confidence and preference of a little child. How have any of us ever deserved that the kingdom of heaven shonld be given right Into our arms? f or a few minutes our dear baby was allowed to rest in this quiet man’s arms, to play with his watch, to hunt through his pockets, to be let alone to do wliat_ey«r sice pldasetft- xkwas notjong, how ever, before the motherBegan'strugglihg in an ominous way with her traveling basket, and then, while baby was entirely quiet and happy, watching the reflection of the lamp on the bright watch, a large piece of what looked Eke Eo'ifnd cake was passed over to her by er mother. It was hard to see her put the little white teeth into it, and to judge from this what the ordinary diet was likely to be; hard to glance from the beautiful peach-like cheek of the child to the sallow one of the young mother, which, together with the fragile, broken American teeth, told the story of chronic dyspepsia and general debility. Is this what our blooming baby is coming to? She throws half the cake on the floor, thank heaven, but eats the rest carelessly and without appetite (there is no member of the S. P. C. C. present to prevent this case of cruelty to children), and then standing for a moment on the man’s knees she glances up, and through the narrow window in the roof of the ear she catches sight of the moon. “Moon!” she shouts with an enchanting laugh. “Moon up high!” Then up go her darling hands, and she calls, “mooriie! moome! come, moonie!” Half the occupants of the car are looking at her at this moment, as sweet a picture as ever gladdened human hearts. What was there in all this to bring tears into folks’s eyes? And yet they started, at the sight of this little white-robed creature, whose every natural impulse seemed doomed to speedy paralysis by means of the straight-jacket of s*elf-eon-soiousiness, making now and then a hopeless little leap for freedom. As they watched her standing there, her ] lands stretched up, toward her native l and, and calling the moon to come to her, one felt half indignant that it did not come. “Why! she never did that before,” said her mother. “ Maud, sit down and tell the gentleman where you went with parper.” “Where did you go with parper, Maud? Maud, where did you go with parper?” The dear cheeks are growing too red now. “Water,” she

“'V * uvuu-aavrn iiuc companionship of the skies. “ Water, water.” It becomes a moan, and we think of the pound-cake. “No. Therfe ain’t no water. Mariner can’t get you no water. Water is all gone. Tell the gentleman where you are going, Maud.” “Water,” moans the baby, and turns her flaming cheek toward her mother, stretching out her hands to her; “water” “Water is all gone; perhaps there’ll be a boy round with water bime bye,” says the mother. “ Tell the gentleman where you went with parper, Maud Tell the gentleman where yeu are going, Maud.” My journey is ended. Poor baby goes farther, night though it be, ana the last words I hear as I leave the ear ate: “Can’t you tell the gentleman where you are going, Maud ?” I wifl ask no more why we are a selfconscious nation, but can any one tell me why angels from heaven are given into these cruelly ignorant hands P Prof, W. H. Barry, Principal of the: Totowa, N. J., Public School, has hatched out several hundred tiny spiders from a cocoon that he picked out of a crevice in a brick wall. They began to spin webs as soon as they were born, and: they seem to be eating one another, as their number has since largely decreased. * Whi te Cake.—White of twelve eggs, three cups of flour, two of sugar, one of butter, one teaspoon soda, two teaspoons cream-tartar. Beat the Mgs and sugar together very light, as for icing, and cream the flour in the butter. There is said to be a great rush of Burmese and Shan adventurers across the frontier into Siam, attracted thither by a reported discovery of an immense field of sapphires.

The crackers must be broken fine. Flavor with lemon and bake with two rich crusts. Mince Pies.—One secret of good mince pies is long baking, the other is to make them of the very best materials, well prepared, and plenty of them. Niggard hands should never make mince pies, nor, in fact, any pies at all, for if they are not good, they are like Jeremiah’s figs, very bad indeed. John ■ Bull’s Pudding.—Half a pound of bread-crumbs, made finef and mixed with half a pound of prepared flour; eight eggs, one pound of stoned raisins, one of suet, ope of washed, dried, and floured currants, half a pound of mixed lemon, and orange, and citron candied peel, one ounce of mixed’ spice, mixed with a full, pint of sweet.

Another receipt: Take a quart of cream, sweetened and flavored to taste, froth Jfhe cream, hayiqg first digsoJxfljl threefourths of a box ofgetatmein half acup1 of water and strain it. As you froth the cream, lay it on sieve to drip, then pour into the cream the gelatine, slowly stirring all the time; fill the molds with cake, pour in the mixture and set it on ice until ready for use. A Sensible Woman. Frank and Alice L- have been married several years, but have no children. Frank is shiftlees and dissipated, while Alice is tidy and industrious. She is obliged to work out, and has several times been dischaiged from good situations owing to ths conduct of her husband on visiting her. She now has a good place in a family, and Frank showing a disposition to annoy her she caused his arrest, and the case came before Justice Clute for examination. Frank cried and whimpered when Alice insisted on his being sent up, and promised all sorts of things if she would only let him off. She was inexorable, however, saying: “ Now, Frank, you know you have not treated me right. I’ll put you up there for the winter, and you will come Out like a spring chicken. You will come out a man. In the meantime I’ll wort and get a pleasant home ready for you to come to when your tame is up, and then if you don’t behave yourself I will send you back.” “How long do you want him sent for?” queried the Justice Clute. “ Four months,” said Alice. “ And four months it is,” said the Judge, and Frank was led away.—Albany Journal. The Receipt for Gilt-Edge Butter Maker was obtained from one oithe most extensive dairy farmers of Ireland, noted for the excellent and superior keeping qualities of his butter, which was eagerly purchased by London dealers for export to India, where the warm climate puts butter to a very severe test. It has been thoroughly tried by a large number of the very best butter-makers in this country, and they have given it their emphatic approval. Price 35 cents per package. Sold by all storekeepers. Collins, N. Y., Feb. 19,1879. Gentlemen—We churned one gallon of cream to-day at a temperature of 56 deg., using your Gilt-Edge Butter Maker. Time of churning, 15 minutes—result, pounds. of butter. Colqr, good. As we have not previously weighed our butter, of course we cannot tell whether there is a better per cent, or not, but appearances indicate it, and the quality is at least two cents per pound better. Yours, Ac., M. E. WilbcU, Proprietor of Collins Creamery.
