A Paris correspondent furnishes the fol-
lowing curious piece of information:
"Queer things are occasionally to be seen
in Pans, but queerer sight than that which
witnessed this morning. on the Rue de la
Paix, it has rarely, if ever, been my lot to be
hold. In taking my morning walk met
large white poodle, shaved and clipped
lion fashion, who wore a round black vel
vet cap, coquettishly placed on one side of
his curly head. In his mouth he carried
basket, to the handle of which small ezra
parsol had been adroitly attached in such d
manner that, IN carrying the basket, the dog
held the parasol over his head, and SO
shaded himself from the rays of the sun.
1t is impossible to describe the gravity and
aplOm6 of his dogship, or the immense
amusement of the street-boys and the pass
ers-by at this novel spectacle"

appears, the result nf different process
from that by which any other textile fabric
is produced. A pattern-oIl painted upon

workman's head. and is unrolled as tue pat
tern proceeds. The artist, therefore. looks
up at his copy. He sits close to the tapis
or carpet and has his bobbins in colored
worsleds, in brx-s besides him. Each
''stitch" is made 10y catching the wool
round the warp and knotting it on the front,
very clnse in. A small steel instrument is
used for pounding down the knots, thus
forcing them close together After consid
cradle Is finished, the workman having cut
the ends off about half an inch from the
warp, another operator, with pair of sharp
scissors, slIaves the ends even and straight

points. His bobbins are light, perhaps half
an inch thick and eight inches long, and
hang TO the warp when not in direct use.
Different shades are introduced, but rarely
more than one hundred of these are en-
ployed at one time. The design is worked
from side to side, and generally large part
of the ground work is put IN before the in

June Grass or Blue Grass.

The Canada Farmer recently pub
lished an illustration and description
of the qualities of this well-known but
vaIiously esteemed grass. In Ken
lucky the blue grass is considered
the very best of grasses. In an adj
dress before Shelby County Grange,
published in the Farmers Home Jour-
nal, Chaplain Blaydes gave the fol-
lowing three prominent characteristics
as especially commencing it to favor.
Its capacity to yield an abundant
pasturage. This characteristic of the
variety named is apparent to all whose
attention has been directed to the mat
ter, as it will yield rich grazing the
year round, and may be almost classed
with evergreens. All this conspires
to give it very high place in our ia.
vor for winter grazing. It is famil-
lar fact that in what is proverbially
known as the Blue Grass region, this
grass has attained very high state of
cultivation, specially for winter pas.
turage; while in an adjoining and sis

of counties in which this grass is fos-

pecially for COWS does it's excellence
manifest itself, in the rich flow. of
sweet and oily cream from whence the
choicest butter is made. once heard
a brother farmer remark that he had
a large woodland pasture, set in blue
grass, which he usually used for sum-
mer grazing but being advised by a
friend to cut the pasture in two and
keep one-half of it for winter pasture,
he was prevailed OH to act out this
suggestion, and he remarked that he
turned about thirty head of cattle on
1t in the early part of winter, and they
remained on it during the winter.
without having been fed any, except
only when there was snow or sleet on
the ground, SO that they could not get
to the grass. '''And,'' said he, ''they
kept in good beef order throughout
the winter" l mention the foregoing
circumstances as it is in attestati0n Of
the superior fattening qualities of this
most excellent variety of the grasses.
Much more might be said in this d.
rection, but will pass ON to the next
prominent feature of this variety.
3. Its capacity to hold the soil
from washing away is perhaps more
than double that of other grass. EN-
bracing with it's network of ten thou
sand thready rootlets, it thus clasps
almost every atom of the soil, and,
when it has thus taken possession of
the soil, it admits of no rival, forming
a heavy, rich, green sward on the sur
face. Thus. it may be seen that our
soil is safest from the ravages of the
watery element when in the keeping
of this most beautiful variety Of
grasses.

How to Make Tea.-In China Tea is
never decocted. it is infused and the
reason is that the acrid quality con-
tanned i'll the stems is not liberated in
quick ''drawing.'' Take a porcelain
pot for tea-Sevres china if you have
it, and not earthenware-scald it with
reshlyf boiling water, then to every
heaping teaspoonful of tea add a
Deakfast cup of water; when the tea
has drawn exactly five minutes, and
no more, pour all off and drink with
sugar only. The leaves are very use
full afterward for carpet-sweeping, but
tea amateurs rarely try such an acrid
preparation as a second drawing, the
offensive flavor of which must be dis
guised with milk.
Sage Jelly.-Take a teacup of sage
and boil in three pints and half Of
water; when cold add half pint Of
raspberry syrup; pour the whole into
a shape which has been rinsed in cold
water, and let it stand until sufficient
ly set to turn out we'll. When dished,
pour little cream around it if pre-
ferred.
Potato Soup.-Take six good-sized
potatoes sliced thin, a quart and a pint
of water, a pint of milk. lump of but
ter the size of an egg, pepper and salt
to suit the taste, and crackers if you
prefer them.
Gooseberry Vinegar.-Two quarts of
mashed gooseberries full-grown-but
green, not ripe; allow for this quanti-
ty three quarts of water. Let the
fruit soak two days, then press out the
juice, strain it, and add one pint of
sugar to each gallon put it into bar
rel, add little yeast, and let it fer
ment.

The Art of Making Coffee,

''Aunt Prudence writes to the
American Grocer: "If we Drowned
our coffee, which we confess we do
not, we should certainly adopt a plan
which we see spoken of in Halls
Journal, and which carries conviction
of it's excellence to the mind of an old
housekeeper. 1t is this: When the
coffee is roasted, and before it is quite
cold, while you can hold the berries
comfortably in your hand, add to every
pound of coffee the white of an egg,
and stir the mass thoroughly, 50 that
every berry will be wet with it. It has
two advantages:-the first is one spok-
en- of by the writer Of the article, of
settling the coffee without the addition
of anything but boiling water, and the
second would be to coat the berry
with the egg so as to preserve the
aroma, which will pass away in a
measure from the roasted berry. We
feel morally certain that coffee pre-
paired in this way, with the addition
Of cream, would be a beverage fit for
the gods.
