The Poor Music Teacher.

BE came as a poor student to Paris and
happened to give piano lessons to the
dau ghter of retired actor, possessor of
1000, 900 or 1900, 900 francs. Suddenly
he thought it necessary to discontinue his
lessons. The ex-actor found this rather
strange, especially as his daughter seemed
to be perfectly unaware of the cause of it.
After some vain exertions to find him the
actor met him at last accidentally in the
street. Why don't you come, as usual?"
Numbered the old man. Because con-
slider it my duty to stay away" But
why?" continued the father, in the same
manner. Because think your daugh-
ter is in love with me, and" "Well"

The Grape-Cure.

The grape treatment has been employed
with favorable results by patients suffering
from bronchitis and consumption in its
pretubcrcular stages. 1t is especially prac-
ticed at Meran, in the Tyrol, whittier large
numbers of German, Russian and Italian
invalids resort to experience its benefits
The patient begins by eating one or two
pounds Of grapes each day, dividing the
quantity into three portions, one of which
is taken an hour before breakfast, another
before dinner-which occurs between
twelve and one o'clock-and the third in
the afternoon Or evening. After two or
three days the quantity is increased by
half pound daily, until it reaches three
or four pounds This amount often proves
sufficient, the patient finding, as a rule,
that he gains in weight and strength upon
it. Chronic liver complaints, especially
when due to excess in wine-drinking, are,
it is said, notably relieved by this treat
ment, the potash salts in the fruit supply
ing the element which the wine loses in
the process OF manufacture Hepatic
dropsy has also been mitigated in this way.
One feature in favor of the ''cure" is that
no exclusive diet is prescribed. In fact the
grapes themselves are so nourishing that
other food is scarcely needed.

Balloon Reconnaissance.

Is his history of the civil war in Ameri.
ca the Count de Paris relates the following
anecdote: a" While the two hostile armies
observed each other between Arlington and
Fairfax Court House a balloon was sent
up every evening to rcconnoiter the sur.
rounding country. 1t was the only means
Of getting sight Of the enemy As soon as
We rose above the primeval trees which
surrounded the former residence Of Gen.
Lee the view extended over an undulating
country, covered with trees, dotted here
and there by little clearings, and bordered
on the west by the long range of the Blue
Ridge, which recalls the first lines of the
Jura. Thanks to the brilliant light which
illumines the last Of an autumn day in
America, the observer could distinguish
the slightest details of the country, which
appeared below US like a map in relief
But in vain does the eve seek the ap-
parent signs of war. Peace and tran
quiiIity seem 70 reign everywhere. The
greatest attention is necessary to discover
the recent clearings, at the edge of
which line Of reddish earth marks the
new Notifications. However, as the day
declines we see to the south little blush
lines of smoke, rising gently above the
trees. They multiply by groups and form
q vast semicircle 1t is the Confederates
cooking their supper. You may almost
count the roll of their army, for every
smoke betrays the kettle Of half-section.
Further off the steam Of locomotive fy-
ing toward the mountain traces, by line
drawn through the forest, the railroad
which brings the enemy their provisions
At the same moment the strain Of military
music is heard below the balloon. All the
clearings where we sought in vain to dis
cover the Federal camp are filed by
thrOng coming ont of the woods that sur
round them. This throng arranges itself
and forms in battalions. The music
passes in front of the ranks with that pc
culiar march which the English call the
goose step Each battalion has two
flags, one with the national colors, and the
other with its number and the arms Of its
State. These flags are dipped, the officers
salute, the Colonel takes command and
moment after all the soldiers disperse; for
it is not an alarm nor prelude Of a march
forward which has brought them thus to-
gether, but the regular evening parade"

Music by Electricity.

THE acme Of machine music appears to
have been reached in an ingenious instru-
ment which was exhibited to select few
at Philadelphia one day fast week. The
apparatus reads notes and plays upon an
/ organ with absolute correctness Of time
and touch, the only assistance given it BY
the operator being to feed in the end of q
roll of music and start the machinery In
motion. Organs have been played by
/ electricity before, but the only part per-
| formed by the electric fluid has been to
| transmit the power from distant bank Of
keys to open the valves of the instrument
| Such an electrical organ has been e1hib.
| tied in London for some time past In the
| Schmoele instrument the electric current
is cndued with q seeming intelligence and
distinguishes the notes in the same way
that blind man does-by feeling. Mar
Vicious as this appear. at first thought, it is
simple enough. The score is,written on =
long roll of stout paper by cutting holes
through it in the form of squares and
parallelOgrams. The reading instrument,
which is about as large as sewing ma
chine, is provided with multitude Of
small brass fingers, each Of which is con.
nected by wire with the pipe of the or
gan which it operates. The roll of music
is fed in over brass tube. When the fin
gers rest on the paper no electric current
is transmitted, because paper is a non
conductor; but whenever they fall into
the holes cut in it they touch the brass
below, the current is transmitted and the
sound produced.
The length of the note is governed by
the length Of the slit in the paper. A
noiseIess fellow machine, run by wind
conducted through a pipe from the organ,
works the feeding apparatus. To aid in
producing orchestral effects, drums, GYM
balls, bells, etc, are added TO the ordinary
pipe organ and operated by electricity in
the same manner as the pipes. A greatly
increased volume Of sound and much
richer harmonic combinations can be
made by this instrument than it is posi-.
Die for single performer TO produce upon
an organ, in consequence of the fact that
the performer has only his ten fingers,
while the electrical machine has 200, ard
can strike as many notes at once as de-
sired. All the notes on the organ that can
be combined into chord can be brought
out together. The overtures to "Semira-
midc" and WILLIAM Tell" were per-
formed last evening with pleasing effect.
As the reading instrument is mechanically
accurate, and the score correctly written,
there were, Of course, no false notes. 1t
was obviously machine music, however,
but machine music Of the highest order,
and might readily have been mistaken for
the performance of a well-drilled but
rather spiritless orchestra. The inventors
hope soon to apply their device to piano.

Hunting Rocky Mountain Goats.

A MEMBER of the Hadyn surveying ex-
petition writes as follows from Colorado:
As we rode through narrow canon,
walled on one side by steep bank COW
cred with trees and on the other by tow
ering mass of perpendicular rock, hap
pening to glance upward we saw standing
on one Of the lodges Of the latter flock Of
sheep, which some of us at first took for
antelope, which was very ridiculous
error. Every one observed them at the
same time, and for an instant so great was
our surprise not man stirred in his sad
die. There, with inquisitive gaze, un-
mixed with fear, scarcely 100 feet above
US, were seven Rocky Mountain sheep, five
of them full grown and two of them small
lambs. In our excitement we did not de-
termine how many were rams and how
many ewes, but as both sexes are en-.
dowed with horns this oversight may

have been excusable. At the same second,
as if at given signal, each man leaped
from his seat and, bending one knee to
the ground, picked out his animal and
fired. There was a quick movement
among our animals and almost instanta-
neously both mules and sheep were out of
sight The two little lambs, however,
appeared again in perpendicular crevice
near the summit of the rock, and, bleating
piteously, skipped over such seemingly
inaccessible places that they resembled
flies gliding rapidly up avail. This was
the signal for numerous wild shots; for,
although most of the boys were good
marksmen, the sudden, unlOoked-for ap-
pearance of this noble game unnerved
them and they shot wide of the mark.
Thus it came about that we had no tender
wild mutton for our dinner.
4 few words in this place relative to
these animals may be of interest 4 full
grown ram is as large as a good-sized do
nestle calf. Its coat of hair resembles in
texture and color that of a deer, being
coarse and of a gray color The horns are
stout and curved backward, as in a do
mestic sheep, with the exception that they
are much larger. The female possesses
them also, being straighter and shorter.
Hunters say that in descending from a
rocky cliff they throw themselves some
times over fifty feet alighting on their
horns, which are so elastic that the animal
bounds into the air and alights on its feet.
This is very plausible, as the Indians use
these horns for bows, possessing some
means of Strengthening them out for this
purpose. An ordinary sheep will weigh
500 or 600 pounds.
The excitement being over (who can
blame man for becoming excited on such
an occasion, when it is known that these
animals are becoming 50 rare even in these
mountains , there was nothing left to do
but resume our journey. regretting the
haste with which we had acted. But not
a mule was to be seen. After a few mo-
ments' search We found them in little
hollow surrounded by a dense thiCket. in
which they had unwittingly corraled
themselves, all standing in a circle. with
their long solemn noses touching. seem
ing to be consulting among themselves
which way TO proceed to get away from
their prosecutors. We drove on for about
fourteen milesibefore stopping for the day.
The road lay in a dust six inches thick.
and as the wind blew briskly we were con-
stantly enveloped in dense cloud Our
eyes soon felt like deserts of sand with a
mud-pool in each corner, and We were
like blind men following the blind.

Should Butter Be Washed.

We have known excellent buttermak-
ers wash their butter thoroughly, and We
have seen others who were accustomed
to make butter of prime article refrain
from washing it. The keeping qualities
of butter depend principally upon two
things-frst. the buttermilk must all be
got out; and second, the grain Of the but
ter should be kept as perfect as possible
1t is an excellent practice, as sUoD as the
butter has fairly come, 10 stop chuTning,
then drain the buttermuk from the
churn through hair sieve into a tab.
after first wettlng the sieve in hot water
and then in cold, and then the butter
will not stick TO it. Let the butter re-
main in the churn after the buttcrmiIk is
drained out, then wash II by pouring the
water upon it from a sufficient height
and stream Of sufficient SIZE to force its
way through the butter Keep moving
the stream about upon the batter as it
keeps rising upon the water. Pour in
water enough to dilute what little but
termilk there is in it to that extent that
it will not be necessary to change the
water, and the result will be that you
will have rinsed the butfernilk all out
of the butter without injuring or mash
ing single grain. In working in the
salt the ladle, or worker, whatever it is,
should never be allowed to slip on the
butter, but to go on at the butter in a
pressing or rolling motion. If allowed
to slip on the butter it will make it look
shiny, destroying the grain and iniuring
its keeping qualities.
One ounce to pound is hardly enough
to pack to hold; and then some Cummings
of butter will work out more salt than
others, to which will have to be added
more before pacEing.-N. 7. Herald.

Prehistoric Remains in California.

\ PIECE Of oak fossiliZcd. which had
evidently when in condition of wood been
artiticially cut with square edges to
shape some twenty inches long by fourteen
wide and five deep, has recently been
found in the South Fork tunnel, near
Forest City, Sierra County, 1900 feet from
the mouth of the tunnel, with 800 vertical
feet above it. This relic of human article
in the prehistoric period was found in
what was the west bank Of the great river
which ran across the present course of the
Sierra river system. How many thou
sands of centuries have passed since it
was shaped, and for how many it has lain
undisturbcd in its deeply-covercd grave, is
suggestive subject OF study and coniect-
ure. Other discoveries, indicating the ex-
istence of man in very remote ages. have
been made in various sections of this old
river course: and in 1853 a number of
fOssilized pine logs, seven feet long and
four in diameter, that had been neatly
sawed and piled up together. were found
in the Allegheny tunnel, under the bed of
the odd Blue River The recently
found relic has been forwarded to the
State University.-Contra (Cal) Gazette.
