"LAUGH AND GROW FAT. Children in good
health, if left to themselves at the table, become,
after a few mouthfus, garrulous and noisy, but if
within at all reasonable or bearabe bounds, it is
better to let them alone; they eat less, because
they do not cat rapidly as if compelled to keep
silent, while the very exhlaration of spirits quick
ems the circulation of the vital fluids and energizes
digestion and assimilation. The extremes of So
ciety curiousy meet in this regard. The tables of
the rich and the mobiles of England are models of
mrth, wit and bonhommie: it takes hours to get
through a repast, and they live long. If anybody
will look in upon the negroes of wel-to-dO-family
in Kentucky while at their meals, they cannot but
be impressed with the perfect abandon of jabber,
cacchination and mrth it seems if they could
talk all day. and they live long. 1t follows, then,
that at the family table all should meet, and do it
habitually, to make common interchange of high
bred courtesies, of warm affections, of cheering
mirthfulness, and that generosity of nature which
lifts US above the brutes that perish, promotve
these things of good Digestion high health and
long life.-HaIrs Journal Of Health.

Nor DEEP ENOUGH YET FOR PRArING.-Here
is a story of couple of raftsmen. The event
CURED during the late big blow the Mississippi,
at time when many stray RATS were swamped
and so many steamboats, lost their sky riggings. A
raft was just emerging from Lake Pepn the
squall came. In an instant the raft was pitching
and writhing as if suddenly dropped into Charyb-
dis. While the waves broke over with tremendous
uproar. and expecting instant destruction, one of
the raftsmen dropped on his knees and commenced
praying with vim equal to the emergency. Hap
penlng to open his eyes an instant, he observed
his companion, not engaged in prayer, but pushing
pole into the water at the side of the raft.
''What's that yer dOn', Mike ?" said he; "get
down on yer knees, now, for there isn't mint be-
twane and purgarory."
''Be aisy, Pat" said the other, as he cooly con-
tnued TO punch the water with his pole; " be aisy,
now +; what's the use of praying when fellow can
touch bottom with a pole 20
Mike is pretty good specimen of large class
of Christians, who prefer to omit prayer as long as
they can "touch the bottom

Rome is not the center Of it. The brigandage, in
the name of Francois H.. continues in some dis

as the Ex-King of Naples can use Rome as full

MANAGEMENT OF CREAM IN CoID

MANAGEMENT OF CREAM IN CoLD
WEATHER.-For some reasons not yet known,
cream skinned from milk in cold weather, does
not come to butter, when churned, so quickly as
that from the same COW in warm weather. Per-
haps the policies, which form the little sacs of
butter in the cream, are thicker and tougher.
There are two methods of obviating this trouble
in great degree. One is, to set the pan of milk
on the stove, or in some warm place, as soon as
strained, and let it remain until quite warm-some
say until bubble or two rises, or until skim of
cream begins to form on the surface. Another
mode recommended, is to add table spoonful OF
salt to a quart of cream when it is skinned
Cream thus prepared will generally come to butter
in few moments when churned. 1t is thought
the salt acts upon the coating of the butter gobules
and makes them tender, SO that they break readily
when beaten by churning.
