HUMOROUS.

When Tilden rose upon his tip-toes
and iaved his wife, he called it ''the &C.
centricity of genious." II large intel
lectual parts are to be inferred from that
style of marital exercise, there are more
men of genius in this country than has
been generally supposed.

"Gaze down the dim vista of etro-
spection, and behold Caeser weltering
in his blood at the foot of Pompey's
statue" is the way an Indiana youth
commenced a speech on Washington's
birthday. Well let him welter he's
used to it.
'Yes, yes, it might been," mused
the old lady in a melancholy, regretful
sort of a way, as she scratched her ear
with knitting needle ''it might a
been as l did get little too much sal
eratus in them biscuits, but he hadn't

The Chicago TRIBUNE is responsible
for the statement that ''when Milwau.

wouldn't kiss her, he put on a muEzle.
The old lady hasn't committed suicide

By the sixteenth century, mechanical IN.
yentions and manufacturing improvements
were exercising conspicuous influence or
domestic and social life. There were look.
ing-glasses and clocks on the walls, man.
tells over the Rre-places. Though in many
districts the kitchen fire was still supplied
with turf, the use Of coal began to prevail.
The table in the dining-roo offered new
delicacies; commerce was bringing to it
foreign products; the coarse drinks Of the
North were supplnnted by the delicate
wines Of the South. Ice-houses were con-
structed. The bolting of -four. introduced
at the wind-mills, had given winter and
finer bread. BY degrees things that had
been rarities became common-Indian-cor
the potato. the turkey, and, conspicuous in
the long list, tobacco. Forks-an lillian
invention-displaced the filthy use of the
fingers. It may be said that the diet Of
civilized men now underwent radical
change. Tea came from China, coffee from
Arabia, the use of sugar from Spain and
these, TO no insignificant degree, supplanted
fermented liquors. Carpets replaced on
the floors the layer Of straw; in the cham
bers there appeared better beds, n the
wardrobes cleaner and more frequently
changed elOching. In many towns the
aqueduct was substituted for the public
fountain and tile street-pump. Ceilings,
which in the old days would have been
dingy with SCOT and dirt, were now decor
ated with ornamental frescoes. Baths
were more commonly resorted to; there
was less need to use perfumery for the con-
cealment Of personal odors.

KID GLOVES.

In certain parts Of Europe the rearing
of kids for the sale Of their skins is an inn
portant business, those which command
the highest prices, and are regarded as
superior to all others, being the French,
called in the market pedur ndtiondles. BY
some the fine quality of these skins is at
tributed to q peculiar virtue in the wild
vines upon which the young ones feed in
the pasturage which they frequent this,
however, being popular error, ns their
value is simply the result Of the care with
which the little animals are reared during
their life of four or five weeks. They are
not allowed to roam at large, as such a
license would imperil the evenness of their
skins, which would become scratched by
rubbing against stones, or passing through
hedges. They are, besides, deprived of all
food except milk, as eating grass would
tend to render their skins coarse. Conse-
quently they ara kept undera wicket-coop,
from which, at regular hours, they are led
to suckle the mother, and this continues
until they are killed, at the end Of four or
five weeks. The younger they are killed
the thinner the skin, but, of course, the
smaller they are the less valuable, too, es-
pecially when they are only large enough
to allow of nngle-buttoned gloves, while
the demand is all for two, three and four
buttoned gloves. By rearing the kids in
the manner just described, larger skins are
obtained, which are as fine and delicate
as those of younger ones of other countries
where they roam at liberty. As France
produces the best skins, so Paris excels all
places in France where gloves are manu-
factured, and an adept in the trade can se-
lect Paris-made gloves from among hun
dreds made elsewhere.
