always Paris. The French journalist,
like the French cook who makes fifty
dishes from single meat, serves his
beloved city in multifarious courses
which include every possible variety
from potage to posctafe.
Each of these courses is labelled with
the name of the artist. All that is
performed by the reporters, for in
stance, is grouped aud signed by tho
city editor, and the same occurs in
the other departments.
There is little or no copying Of news
from other journals. Should there &C.
cur anything Of grand Importance else
where in France, it is either handled
by writer on the spot or by some one
sent there from the Office. Scissors,
paste-pot, and exchanges seem to her
unknown. Ordinarily, the telegraph
matter does not exceed quarter Of a
column of the Times, and then 'rpidly
travels outside of France.
U1LLEMEssANr, ADMINISTRATORS.
NJ. H. De Villemessant, adnei2istra-
tear or editor-in-chicf of lie Figaro, is,
next to Cassagnac, the most noted jour-
nalist in France. He is less noted than
the other solely because Of Cassagnac's
penchant for the ducllo. AS success
full administrative journalist, Villemes-
SAINT has no superior iii France. Vile.
messan+ is man of almost fifty-ive
years of age, stout, with gray, bristly
hair and beard, large, kindly eye, and
a face which seemed to combine hints
of determination, great intellectual pow
er, geniality and good living. He lives
in palatial style, a little out of Paris,
and has the reputation Of being gen.
erous and accomplished host. He gave
me his autograph, his remembrances to
his conlrcrc, the head of the Times, a
hearty shake Of the hand, and then /
bowed myself away.
CONCLUSION.
The attaches of the Figaro seem a
family. AS said, they eat, sleep, live
in the building. There is constantly
attached to the office, and in readiness
a number Of carriages to be used in
case there is necessity for hurried
trip to any part Of the city. Among
them there seems to exist cordial
esprit de corps, which serves to secure
excellent results by creating cordial
unity of purpose when great end is tt
be achieved. I saw nowhere any OF
that contemplate jealousy, that disrep
utable Bohemianism so common among
journalists on this side of the Atlantic
and which is founded on the idea that
one builds himself up in proportion as
he tears some other one of his profess
sion down.
The presswork Of the Figaro is done
on two 4-cylinder and two 8.cylinde1
presses, which, believe, are Of the Hoe
pattern, and which are capable Of
throwing off an enormous edition al
short notice. One paper in Paris, thu
Petit Journal, and which sells at :
sous, reaches the enormous daily issue
Of 400, 1000, TO accommodate which, bott
with reference to presswork and dc iv
cry, resort is had to printing It ii
several places at the same time.

Practical Suggestions,

Powdered chalk, added to common
glue, strengthens it. A glue which will
resist the action of water is made by
boiling one pound of glue in two quarts
of SKINNED milk. To make strong
glue for inlaying or vencering: Take the
best light brown glue, free from clouds
and streaks; dissolve this in water, and
to every pint aid one-half gill Of the
best vinegar, and one and a half ounces
Of izinglass. For fire and water proof
glue, mix a handful Of quick-lime with
+ ur ounces Of linseed oil; thoroughly
lixiviate the mixture; boil it to good
thickness, and spread in on tinplates
in the shade; it will become very hard,
but can be dissolved over d fire like
common glue, and is then fiji for use.

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD
Recreation for the Farmers.

Here is a bit of true farm wisdom
from the Ohio Farmer. We are glad
to know that the practice Of giving up
little time at reasonable intervals for,
rest and enjoyment is growing more
and more common among farmers. The
browning labors of the season are over,
and the farmer rejoices in abundant
and safely garnered crops The work
in hay and grain fields under hot Ju-
ly sun has been laborious and exhaus.
tive, and in many cases the system has
been taxed to its utmost. Now is the
time to relax little for the purpose of
repairs. ANY machine, however sub
stantial, will wear out even
tually. but it can be made to
last very much longer
by stopping for repairs whenever they
are needed. 1t is the same with the
human machine. No class OF men
uses this machine more constantly than
the farmer. None need to stop for re-
pairs oftener, and yet none stop less
frequently. This is oil wrong,
mistaken economy. 1t is just
as necessary to rest as to
work, and the wise farmer will improve
every opportunity for recreation when
he feels that it - needed. The success
of a man 8 life is not measured by the
amount Of money he saves. but by the
comfort, the substantial enjoyment he
derives from it, and in higher sense,
by the good influences he diffases
around him. Many farmers do not re.
alize this; they have become so habit.

work must be done yet before winter

10 Keep Eggs Over Winter.

the prize:
Whatever excludes the air prevents
the decay of the egg. What I have
found to he the most successful method

of salt butter in the palm Of the left
hand and turn the egg round in it, so
that every pore of the shell is closed

will retain the sweet milk and curd of
new lain egg for at least eight or ten
months. Any oil will do, but salt but

Mrs. VIM. Church says the best way

whole secret lies in carefully selecting

cool place.
J. B. Strathnairn says: 81 take tub
of any size and put layer Of common
salt about an inch deep in the bottom,
Then grease the eggs with butter, and
place them in the salt with the small
end down, so that they will not touch
the wood of the tub nor each other !;
then fill the vacancies with salt and
cover them again about an inch deep,
as before then place another layer of
eggs as before then salt, alternately,
till the tub is filled; then cover the top
with salt, and put them where they will
not freeze. have kept eggs in this
manner from September till April,
as good as fresh eggs. The grease on
the shell keeps the salt from penetrat-
ing, thereby keeping the eggs fresh.
while the saving qualities of the salt
keep them from becoming putrid. This
recipe is both cheap and good, as the
salt can be fed to the cattle after
wards.''

Preserving Butter.

A subscriber of the Inter- Ocean,
writing from Stearling, Ills, says !:
''Pleasc be so kind as to inform me the
best method of preserving butter for
winter use that is packed in the month
Of June in white-ash tubs
The great secret in keeping butter
nice and sweet through the winter lies
mainly in the making. No care in
packing will prevent butter that has
been improperly worked from becom-
ing rancid. The butter should be first
worked when taken from the churn,
then sailed with the best and purest
salt, about an ounce to the pound; then
allowed to stand fifteen or twenty
hours then worked until the brine
runs from it clear and then packed. As
to washing butter with water and
handling it with the hands, opinions
differ. Good butter can be made by
washing and by not washing. Some
wash in cold skinned sweet milk be-
fore setting, with excellent results. If
the butter comes cold and solid do not
wash it, and in working use a ladle
rather than the hand. After the but.
termilk has been removed pack the but
ter solid in new firkins-don't use any

Care Of Sheep.

"Flock Master" of Lancaster coun-
ty, Penn, writes the Germantown TEL
egraph as follows: I send you the fol-
lowing seasonable hints in regard to the
care Of sheep: During the winter and
early spring sheep are often affected
with colds; these,if neglected, frequently
become so deeply seated as to be incur
able, and end in phthisic or consump-
ton. The best remedy for cold is,
first. place your sheep in we'll ventila-
ted. dry stable, comfortably Uttered;
and second, give it any slightly purging
medicine, with moderate allowance Of
hay, and bran mash,on fifth Of which
should be oil meal. Colds and catarrhs
are not only epidemic but endemic; be
careful, therefore, where you winter
your sheep, that there be no prcdispos-
ing cause in their locality; and when
they are acknowledgements them instant
ly from the flock. By following these
precautions, and keeping them we'll fed,
sheltered, aired, watered, and sailed,
one may bid defiance to disease among
his flock
