An Expensive Breakfast.

There seems to be diversity Of opinion
about one of Cleopatra's breakfasts. 1t was
the most costly that has ever been served to
a single human being. | will therefore, tell
what know about it. After having partaken
Of Clespatras necklace, Mark Anthony de
termined to devise the costliest break fast ever
given. After several days of astronomical
meditations, not having found what he was
looking for, he summoned his cook to his
presence, and told him that, if he could get
up dainty break fast for a lady, which should
be composed of a few and as small dishes as
possible and at the same time, be most costly,
he would regard him accordingly.
Several weeks afterward, the cook entered
Mark Anthony's study, and told him that he
was ready to serve the dainty breakfast asked
of him, and that it was composed Of Que olive
only. At the appointed hour, the cook en-
tered the dining room, followed by one hun
dred men carrying the olive Gin its artificial
enyelope) on their shoulders. They deposi-
ted it on table made for the occasion, and
fifty caryers were set to work on 1t. After
several hours of hard work, the triumphant
cook placed the olive before the Egyptian
Queen, who looked at it with amazement
still with perfect delight.
The olive had been prepared in the follow
ing way after having been stoned, it was
stuffed with rich custard, then put inside Of
a boncd canary, which was used to stuff an
ortolan The latter was placed inside Of a
bcned oriole, which was used to stuff a thrush,
which thrush stuffed boned lark. boned
snipe was stuffed with the lark and placed
inside Of a robin, which was used to stuff a
plover, and which latter bird filed quail,
which was then placed inside Of pigeon
The pigeon filed woodcock, the woodcock a
partridge, the latter grouse, the grouse a
pheasant, the pheasant chicken, the chicken
guinea fowl, which was placed inside of a
goose the goose filled turkey, the turkey
swan, the latter an ostrich, which was used
to stuff sheep, the sheep a calf, the calf an
antelope, the latter a pig, the pig a deer, the
deer BEAR the bear heifer, the latter an
elk, the elk an OK, the OK hippopotamus, the
latter an elephant The olive was then roast
ed in its envelope, which envelope was thrown
away and the olive only was served. Pierre

Batter in Sacks.

A correspondent of the Rockfsld Register,
writing from Olympia, W. T., gives the meth
cd used on the Pacific Coast for preserving
butter
II think the dairymen here have an art in
the management OF butter that might be
turned to good account iu the East, but which
never saw practced till came to this coast.
alIude to the manner Of putting up butter
for market Perhaps necessity was the moth
err of this invention none the less valuable
Here such a thing as butter frkin or stone
Jar to pack butter in is unknown; but all
butter is packed in muslin sacks, made in
such form that the package, when complete,
is cylinder three CT four iuches in diameter
and from half a foot to foot in length
The butter goes from the churn, as soon as
worked over, into the cylindrical bags, made
of fine bleached muslin. The packages are
then put into large casks containing strong
brine with slight adinix:ure Of saltpctere
and by means OF weights kept always below
the surface
''Ihe cloth integument always protects the
butter from any impurities that may chance
to come in contact with the package, and be-
ing always Duf.eu III pIlHe, ehat Ploteoto ~
from the action Of the air, and 1t has been
ascertained by trial that butter put up in this
way will keep sweet longer than any other
Besides, it is found easier aud cheaper for
the manufacturer than to pack either in fir
kins or jars. And for the retailer, there is
no telling the advantage on the score of safe
ty and convenience These rolls Of butter
can lie upon his counter as safe from dust or
other contact, as bars Of lead can be rolled
up for his customers in sheet Of paper with
as much propriety as a bundle Of matches
If the customer, when he gets home discov-
crs specs of dust upon the outside Of the
sack, he can throw it into pail of cold wa
ter and take it out clean and white AS lie
uses the butter from day to day, with sharp
knife he cuts it off the end Of the roll III
slices OF thickness to suit his wants, peels of
the cloth from the end of the slice, leaving ii
in tidy form to place upon the table. This
improved manner Of packing butter first

the improvement SO impressed me that won

Cronp-How to Save the Children

Many lovely child is destroyed in sin
gle night by this alarming disease 1t is q
disease of the windpipc. which is filed OF
lined with phlegm, which becomes more and
more tough, almost leathery-thickens and
at length closes up the passage to the lungs
and the child dies 1t usually comes on in
the night. The distinguishing symptom is a
Wheeling, barking cough A mother who
has ever heard it once needs no description to
enable her to recognize it again. The first
born are most likely to perish with it; simply
because the parent has no experience Of its
nature, and hence is not alarmed In time, or
knows not what to do, while the physician is
being sent for. In the hope of being instru-
mental in saving some little sufferer, whose
life is iuexpressibly dear, at least to one or
two, will make some suggestions, not for
the cure Of the patient, but to save time
The instant you perceive the child has Group,
indicated by the barking cough uneasy
breathing, restlessnes, send fora physician and
as instantly wrap hot flannel around each
foot to keep it warm but while the fannels
are being heated, dip another flannel, Of two
or more thicknesses, in spirits Of turpcntine
or spirits OF hartshorn or have large mus
tard plaster applied, one that will reach from
the top of the throat down to some two inches
below the collar bone, wide enough at the
top to reach half way around the neck on
either side, and nearly across the whole breast
at the bottom But it will take some time to
send for physician, to prepare fauuels, and to
make the plaster or obtain the turpentined
flannel and in some cases fifteen minutes is
an AGES death, if lost; therefore, while
these things are preparing, give the child,
if one year old or over (aud half as much if
less), about half teaspoonful Of hive syrup,
and double the dose every fifteen minutes I'M
til vomiting is produced; and every Ealf
hour after vomiting give half as much as
caused the vomiting, until the physician comes,
or the child ceases to cough, when he breatEes
free and is safe. If you have no hive syrup,
givea teaapoonful Of syrup of ipecac, and
double the dose every fifteen minutes until
vomiting is produced. Better yet would be
a simple spoonful of lobeia, obtained of any
botanic druggist, Vomiting will generally
save the child. If you have been SO thought
less as to have nothing atall, boil some water,
keep it boiling, dip WOODEN flannel of sever
al folds in it, squeeze it out Moderately with
your hand, and apply 1t as hot as the child
can possibly bear to its throat, and in from one
to three minutes, according to the violence
of the symptoms, have another put on the
instant the first is removed, and keep this up
until the breathing is easy and the cough is
loose and the phlegm is freely discharged or
until the arrival OF the physician.
