WHICH WAS WHICH. We were in
formed yesterday, upon good authori-
ty. that a very lively discussion took
place recently at the Humboldt House
regarding the comparative size of the
two proprietors. The queetion of height
was not considered as much as their re-
spective horizontal circumferences, the
latter point being argued to some length,
each arguing that he was the smallest.
The question was decided by the timely
interference of the good looking ladies
of the house in favor of Meacham; and
yesterday we saw said ladies in town
armed with bottles and broomsticks in
case of future emergencies. Blaksslee
was also in their charge. which proves
to us beyond doubt that it is nearly
as difficult for two men to live together
in one house as it is for two women,
without having occasionally lengthy
debate. But it is all in life.

The Paris OF To-Day.

A Paris correspondent says: Spring
is at last constant. The Champs Elysees
are in bloom. At the Palais de pIndus-
trie there is an enormous horse shaw
more classically known as a Concours
Hippique" which every morning fills
the avenue with superb arrays of eques-
trians. Every one is at liberty to enter
for the various prizes the sub-lieutenant
of dragons exhibits the beauties of his
steed side by side with the rich fancier
from London or Russia; and the specta-
Gle when the prancing and neighing
steeds are parading the streets or cara
coling in the ample roadways within the
palace is very gay. Now that the leaves
have come, and the birds sing all day
loudly in the trees which dot the Ely
sian fields, the cafes chantant have re-
opened their doors, and their long rows
OF glittering lights add to the general
gayety. The Republic and the rude
shocks of the war have brought but little
soberness to the dramatic and lyric lite
rature nightly retailed on the boards Of
these al fresco institutions. The
same roaring farces, destitute alike of
common sense and Of anything like plot,
and the same plaintive or suggestively
wicked ballads, so well known under the
Empire, are still presented tothe listener,
who, seating himself at a little round
table in the open air, faces the huge open
stage, and does homage at once to Gam

How to Prepare Feathers for Use.

MAKE bags of coarse, unbleached
cloth-one to contain the geese and
ducks feathers and the others for
chickens and turkeys feathers. When
plucking the poultry, cut off the wings
first; and if not needed for busters, strip
oil the feathers from the parts nearest the
body, and then peel off the feathery part
from the quill, but take care that no
skin or flesh adheres to any of the
feathers. Put the bags into brick oven,
II you are the fortunate possesSor of one,
and keep them there, excepting when the
oven is used for baking purposes-takin ing
them out to the wind occasionally and
beating them with stick. When YOU
have collected enough TO fill pillow
cut the shape YOU desire out of bed-tck-
ing and stitch il round on the wrong side
with coarse, well-waXed thread, leaving
a small space at the top to put in the
feathers. Now Law ii on table and rub
1t over on the wrong side with piece of
beeswaN, just warmed little, so that it
will besmear the ticking. If you cannot
obtain the beeswax common yellow soap
will do aS well.
If you do not wish to use the feathers
either for pillows or sofa cushions, they
can be put in beds that have become a
little empty. The geese and duck
feathers make the best beds, but the
mixed feathers do well for cushions. If
any of the skin or flesh adheres to the
feathers they will have patrid odor,
which may seem TO be an insurmounta-
BILE objection to their use but if, after a
family wash is finished, the bag, tied un
closely at the neck, is put into the boiler
of soapsuds and boiled few moments.
moving ii about with the clothes-stick
and lifting it up and down and squeezing
il out few times and is then taken out
and hung in the air and shaken hard for
several days, when the feathers become
dry they will be light and free from suy
bad smell, and they can now be put into
the oven, and thus kept from moths and
be always ready for use.-COuat-y Gen
s!<-nda.
