The most wonderful pictures at the
Paris Exhibition are the celebrated
Kettle of Fish, which would deceive
a dune de Ia Halle, the picture of
lady, with a curtain background, which
would deceive all the great painters of
antiquity; the picture of Cocotte,
which would deceive a Gommeux. So
naturally is she painted; and the pic
ture of monk, in gray, with bit Of
sunlight on 1t, which deceives every
body. On the whole, the Salon is very
good, though there are too many por-
traits of alphabetical letters. 1t is pro-
posed to affix the real name and age to
every lady's portrait next year. That

Some months ago, says the San Fran
cisco Bulletin, seven male Indians and
young Indian woman started to cross
Clear Lake, near the north end, in a
small boat, which was capsized three
miles from land. They righted it, but
as the lake was rough, they could not
bail it out, and while full of water it
would not support more than one per-
son. The men put the girl in, and held
on the edges of the boat, supporting
themselves by swimming till exhausted
and chilled through by the cold water,
and then dropping off and sinking one
by one. They showed no thought of
disputing the young wOman's exclusive
right to the bnat. Sac was saved by
their self-sAcrlice.
Besides milk diaries, butter diaries,
and cheese dairies. there is one other
way of utilizing milk, adapted for To-
cations where neither of the other are
practicable. and this is in the manu-
facture of condensed milk. The de-
mand for this is steadily increasing,
and it affords one way, at least, by
which the difficulties between producers
of milk and the dealers in our large
cities can be overcome. In New York
city, where the people have suffered
most from watered and diseased milk,
condensed milk is greatly preferred in
many families, as it is known to be pure
and clean. The exports of condensed
milk from the United States during the
twelve months, ending September Both.
1870, amounted, in custom house valu-
alton, to about two hundred thousand
dollars.
Private letters to the friends of one
of the young American students

in the boat, nearly submerged, wrapped
in the sail and frozen stiff, his hands
clutching the sides of the boat so hard
that the skin was torn from his fingers.
