STREET MANNERS IN PARIs.-When a pref
ty woman goes out alone in the streets OF Paris,
the chances are that she will be accosted by
some gallant, especially if she loters TO look in
at the shop windows. There is exemption in a
homely face and fOrbiddiDg exterior; also age.
To the pretty Young American this is one OF tue
greatest drawbacks to her enjoyment, accus-
toned as she is TO out-of-do0r freedom, and to
attack The rude sex rather than to be attacked
by IL. Thus, that serpent, man, prevents our
daughter OF Eve from wandering through her
Paradise. Freedom from the annoyance may
be purchased at the price of green goggles and
cork screw ringlets; but the price of liberty in
such case is exorbitant and not to be thought
Of. An exasperated beauty, the other day, said
that imam is q hateful creature, anyhow, and
it's pity that we cannot do without him." and
all those who have been subjected to the same
street attacks doubtless repeat the same thing
in chorus. There is safety only in being con-
vO!ed; the pretty woman must put herself IN
der the nag of the woman-Of-war, called the
boz ne, for this flag is recognized and respected
by all the piraticai cruisers about the streets
living in wait for booty. And as the American
woman is superior to any other in personal at
traction, she stands more in need of protection
tLsn>any other. II would be well, therefore
when she comes to Paris, to recognize existing
Institutions, and procure a bonnie OF moral
aspect, and of sufficient patience TO wait By the
hour, while her IN stress goes through the Bon
Marche ard the p alais Royal Tritune's PARIS

Farmers, Boots,

Why do farmers wear such hard heavy boots.
The majority of these, and other outdoor la
boreTs, wear coarse, heavy, cowhide boots, usu-
ally termed "stOgas" These are exceedingly
clumsy when they are new, and every time
they are worn in wet weather they become
harder and sitter, until they are as upyielding
as so much wood. l frequently read in agri-
cultural journals directions for rendering boots
waterproof, such as giving them coating of
resin, bees-wax, tallOw, etc, all of which make
the leather hard and stiff, when the great ne
cessity is to make ii soft and pliable. If you
want to have cold feet, wear thick, heavy boots
coated with this mixture, and, my word for it,
you will be successful. In my younger days L
followed this plan, and always had cold feet,
and my boots were so stiff and hard, that 1t was
necessary to warm them before the fire each
morning before l could get them on, but for
some years have followed different plan, and
avoided this trouble. Get a pair of boots made
from what shoemakers term runner" have
good, thick, double soles put on them. You NAV
not be able to lind pair ready made with soles
thick enough, but you can have them made to
order. They should be as heavy in the soles as
ordinary stogas. Before wearing the boots, give
the bottC ms good coating of tallow, and dry it
in, then oil the ''uppers" with castor oil, about
one tablespoonful to each boot, then oil them
twice a week with the castor Oil, when one tea
spoonful will be sufficient.
If the weather should be rainy, or you are
compelled to work in water during the day,
wash your boots clean at night. hold them by
the fire until quite warm, and oil them while
wet, and you will have no trouble about your
boots getting hard and shrinking up so that
you can rot get them on. Ii the leather should
become red, give a coat of ordinary shoe black
ing before Oling. The effect of castor oil is to
soften the leather, while it fills the pores, and
prevents the water from entering.
have stood in mud and water two or three
inches deep for ten hours day for week
without feeling any dampness, or having any
Gifticulty in getting my boots on or off. OF
course If they are kept constantly wet they
must be oiled every night, Some may think
castor oil too expensive, but as 80 little is re-
quirej each time, the cost is trifng; fifty cents
OF less will furnish sufficient quantity to last
as long as an ordinary pair of boots, and they
will wear much longer when this oil is used
than with anything / have ever tried.-[ DelOs

WHAT B1DDY DID.-The Providence Journal
relates the following: One OF our retired
merchants hired a newly imported servant girl
from tie could sod I" who was necessarily some
what ignorant OF English phrases. One morn
ing, SEE ing her master in a loose wrapper, Biddy
asked another servant what style of dress that
was. and was informed that IL was called a
"half undress." On asubseguent morning, soon
after, the merchant handed into the kitchen,
fresh from the vines in his garden. some toma-
toss, telling Biddy to serve them in an Gun
dressed state'-mesning, Of course, raw. Din
ner time came, and srythiDg was on the table
except the tomatoes. The bell was ruug and
on Biddy's appearance she was asked for them.
She hastily retired, and soon presented herself
with nothing on but a slight undergsrment,
saying, Cara, sure, I'm now in an addressed
state as much as name TO be, and, begorra, I'll
not strip of another rag even If get my dis
charge" She was told to dress herself and ex-
pect higher wages.

The Grange-salarie COntri-
buttons and Finances.

From a recent able article in the
State Register, by the Agricultural
editor, We make the following ex-
tracts:
There is another cause fruitful OF
suspicion. Some OF the officers and
agents are paid salaries from the
State Grange, and are also allowed to
draw and receive large fees from pub
lie meetings, councils and Oranges.
Either pay them in full from the
treasury for their services, or let it be
known that they depend entirely
upon collections. Though nothing
may be said publicly, bitter grum-
ollngs are uttered, and dark ausplc-
Ions are entertained in private and
In Oranges, alternating many from
their devotion to the order. Remove
This cause Of suspicion.
Another question of serious import
Is the finances. In the incipient sta
gts wi en- Oranges were few ami
means needed to propagate the order
~ was right to charge SIS for charters
ana - per member. There. nave
been about six thousand Oranges
Chartered in the past eleven months,
and another thousand will be added
before the close OF this month. Sew
en- thousand charters at Sl5 each IS
100000. Add to this ten cents per
member for 600,00 members in the
United States, making 100000 more,
and it will be seen that about $780,
vo0 will be paid into the National
Orange Treasury in 1873. And the
prospect is that this will be largely
increased in the years to come, for
me Order has but just started In
most Of the States. Ia there any
