FRENCH OR GERMAN students
of the New York Normal College we're,
last week, called upon to vote on the
question which of the languages, the
German or the French, they would
prefer to study thoroughly. It having
been found impracticable to reconcile
the multiplicity of the studies pursued
with thorough and exhaustive study
OF both languages, necessary for their
complete mastery, tho mode of deter
nination fiually selected was by remit
Ing tho entire matter to q vote of the
scholars; and 10! OF the whole 1,15O
students of the College, 9I8 voted for
the German and only 1877 for tho
French language; the balance, forty
five, were absent. The New York
Belletrisches Journal has the following
remarks on the subject: "Who would
have thought such result possible
ten, aye, but five years ago? At that
time French was we'll nigh the only
foreign Language taught at the higher
educational institutions for young
ladies. It was not learnt thoroughly;
but little superficial smattering was
considered as indispensable to the
bon ton. German was only thought
OF to be secuted and sneered at. The
change is 80 great and extensive one
that not only the need, the recognition
of the ever increasing necessity for the
German language in the daily social
and business life of the country, but
IN mistakably also good taste. the
greater satisfaction with the German
and it's magnificent literature, must be
among !.s governing principles. SD

HARD TINES HINTs.-In these times Of
scarcity of money and difficulty in obtaining
permanent employment, it will be useful to
many persons to understand what kinds Of
food are the most economical. Opinions
somewhat vary upon this point in its details,
but some suggestions may be relied upon as
founded upon the experience of many persons.
Homemade bread is in general more nutritious
and cheaper than bakers bread. Corn meal,
Graham -four, hominy, wheaton grits, and
similar articles, should be used in preference
to fine wheat flour, both for health and econo-
my. There is much more nutriment in coarse
flour than iri fine. White beans, peas, and
rice are cheap and wholesome articles. Pota-
toes at the price usually charged for them can
not be called economical; neither are most
other vegetables, although, Of course, they are
desirable Oatmeal is cheap and nutritious
buckwheat is not economicalj especially con-
sidering the butter and syrupthat usually are
thought needfu, accomplishments. Fresh
meats at retail prices are expensive. In
economizing, meat should never be fried, but
made into soup or stew.

Pop GOES THE WEASEL" Pop Goes TIL
WEASEL has become the chorus of thou
sand snatches of song, but not one of thou
sand who sing it have heard of its origin
But its parentage is as easily traced as that of
an English baronet. A famous Methodist
preacher by the name of Craven was once
preaching in the heart Of Virginia, and spoke
as follows: "Here are q great many profess
sors of religion to-day. You are sleek, fat,
good-looking, yet something is the matter
with you. Now, you have seen wheat which
was plump, round and good-looking to the
eye but when you weigh it, you found that
it only came to forty eight pounds to the bush
CT, when it should be sixty three pounds
Take kernel of that wheat between your
thumb and fore finger, hold itup, squeeze 1t,
and pop goes the weevil Now, you good
looking professors of religion, You are plump
and round, but you only weigh some forty
five or forty-six to the busliel. What is the
matterp All when you are taken between
the thumb of the law and the finger of the
Gospel, held up to the light and squeezed,
out pops the whisky bottle!' From "pop
goes the weevil" to "pop goes the weasel"
the transition is easy.

There is such thing as science even in
coffec-making and tho French understand it
better, perhaps, than any other people in the
world. They can combine different coffees,
like the parts Of d fine wine, to produce GER
tain rare bouquets, or aromas, for the epicure.
Not more than half pound of coffee should
be roasted at time for domestic use ; it
should be ground only just before going into
the pot an ounce should be allowed for every
three cups in its mixture with the white of
egg to cltar it there Should be some warmth
before the water is added, and it should never
be allowed to reach boil. Observe these
rules, which are based upon scientific reasons,
and you may make from an inferior coffee
bean beverage far superior to what general
ly goes by that name. 1t will never be black
nor bitter, and can be kept indefinitely with
out stating.

MAsKs.--If we could only reach each others
hearts we should be kinder to each other. If
we knew the woes and bitterness and physical
annoyances of our neighbors we should make
allowances for them which we do not now.
We go about masked, uttering stereotype
sentences, hiding our heart-pangs and our
heartaches as carefully as we can, and yet we
wonder that others do not discover them by
intuition. We cover our best feelings from
the light; we do not conceal our resentments
and dislikes, of which VIC are prone to be
proud Often two people sit close to-
gethct with 81 love you," in either heart,
and neither knows it. Each thinks, ~
could be fond, but what is the use of wasting
on one who does not care for it," and so
they part and 60 their ways alone. Life, Is q
masquerade, at which few unmask even to
their very dearest. And though there is need
Of much masking, it would be well IL we dare
show plainly our real faces from birth to
death, for then some few at least would truly
love each other.

THE STRANGE GuEsT.--The gifted Sar-
gent s. Prentiss once gave a sumptuous din
ner to some friends at hotel in Vicksburg.--
Early in the evening stranger entered the
room in a mistake. Prentiss courteously in
vited him to join the party. Before long til,
strange guest began boasting of how mucl
he had drank during the day--a cocktail here
a smasher there, a juicy in this place, a slim,
in that, and SO on, apparently without Al
end.
At length Prentiss said
Sir, do you believe in the doctrine of mb
tempsychosis ?"
~ don't know" was the reply, "and
don't see that it has anything to do with what
we are talking about"
:" 1t has" rejoined Prentiss much-much
every way. have firm faith in that doctrine.
believe that in the next life every man will
be transformed into the thing for which he has
best qualified himself in this. In that life.
sir, you will become corner groggery."
