NEW COMPETITION WITH DAIRYMEN.-
According to the the New York Tribune
a new source of supply for the New
York butter market has been opened,
which cannot fail to convey an en-
phatic lesson TO American dairymen.
That paper SAYS that ''butter is actually
brought from France and sold by the
New York dealers. And this is thus
because there is an actual scarcity in
the market of good butter put up in an
attractive shape for small customers.
When we know that one dairyman gets
SI.l5 pound for his products, another
81, and another 20 cents the year round
at his dairy door, it is easily seen that
it will pay to bring butter across the
ocean from France, if il is only good
and shapely enough to suit the fastld-
ious purchasers who will have some
thing nice, whatever il may cost. All
this butter is made from choice cows,
choicely fed on clean sweet food. The
milking is done in the cleanest manner.
The milk is handled as though it were
nectar, the cream is churned with clock
and thermometer, the butter is worked
with skill, and made up in shapely
cakes, which do not require to be cut
when brought to the table. Compare
then, this cake-hard, golden yellow,
sweet, fragrant, and tempting to all
the senses-with an unsightly chunk,
which is out of a greasy keg and smells
of old age and rancidlty, and is made
from ill-kept cream from cows filthily
lodged and carelessly MIXED, and is
churned anyhow, and the difference is
amply accounted for.

Tyrfan Purple.

The Tyrian purple was one of the
principle articles of luxury among the
ancients. The color was communicated
by means of several species of univalve
shell-fish. Pliny mentions two of these,
one called 6uccinUm, the other Durpara.
One drop only of the liquid dye, could
be obtained from a small vessel or sac
in the throat of each mollusc. The
BILE. Piutarch observes in his Life of
Alexander, that, at the taking of Susa,
the Greeks found in the royal treasury
of Darius, a quantity of purple stutfs of
the value of 5000 talents, which still
retained its beauty, though it had lain
there for 100 years.

TURKISH RICE PUDDING.-Pick and

half pound of Zante currants, which
must be carefully picked clean, washed
through two waters, drained well, and
spread out to dry on a flat dish before
the fire; put the rice into saucepan

four ounces of broken up loaf sugar, on
which you have rubbed off the yellow
rind of large lemon and squeezed the
juice; stir in two ounces of fresh butter
divided into small pieces; when the
rice is well swollen and quite soft take
it from the fire and mix with it eight
well-beaten yOlks of eggs; transfer it
to deep dish and put it in the oven for
half an hour. Serve up warm. A nice
sauce for this pudding is the whites of
the eggs used in it, beaten to a froth
with powdered sugar and favored with
lemon

The Spirophorus.-The above is the
name of a new device proposed by Mr.,
Woillez for restoring partially suffoca-

metal cylinder. SO that only his head
protrudes ; connected with the cylinder
is large bellows holding five or six
gallons of air. When this is operated.
the air is alternately drawn out and
forced into the cylinder, thus causing
artificial respiration in the patient.
The movements of the chest of the lat
ter can be seen through pane of glass
in the cylinder.

A HoUsEKEEPER thus gives what is,
in her opinion, one practicable and de-
licious mode of escape from the evils of
an enormous peach crop: Take the
thoroughly ripe, mellow fruit, scald
and remove the skins; place the halves
on an earthen or suitable metal sur
face; sprinkle over them little good
sugar, and dry rapidly by high heat !;
or they may be scalded in syrup,
skinned out and dried. Then pack in
close vessels, and they will keep fol
years in any climate, provided you
keep your fingers off them, for they are
really delicious, and are less cloying
than common raisins.

PENNYRoYAL AND PoTAsH.-The Scien-

other bloodsuckers infest our sleeping
rooms at night, we uncork bottle OF
the oil Of pennyroyal, and these insects
leave in great haste, nor will they re-
turn so long as the air of the room is
loaded with the fumes of that aromatic
herb. If rats enter the cellar, a little
powdered potash, thrown in their holes,
or mixed with meal and scattered in
their runways, never fails to drive them
away. Cayenne pepper will keep the
buttery and store room free from ants
and reaches. If a mouse makes an en-
trance into any part of your dwellings,
saturate a rag with cayenne, in solu-
tion, and stuff it into the hole, which
can then be repaired with either wood
or mortar. No rat or mouse will eat
that rag for the purpose of opening
communication with depot of supplies.

NeW Compensdting Pendulum--PrO-
fesssor j. Lawrence Smith has recently
invented a new compensatiDg pendu-
lum, in which he avails himself of the
great expansibility of ebonite, which,
between 80 deg. and 1jS deg Fab, ap-
proaches that of mercury. The pen
dulum rod is of steel, with an adjust
ing screw at the lower end; and a
round rod of vulcanite, with a hole in
the centre, is passed on to the steel
rod, fitting it loosely and being held in
place by the adjusting screw. The
bob of the pendulum consists of a
heavy piece of brass, with hole
through the center large enough to ad-
NIT the vulcanite, over which it pas
ses, and, by properly arranged stop.
rests on the end of the vulcanite fur
thest from the lower end of the pen
dulum, so that any expansion of the
vulcanite elevates the brass bob, thus
cOmpensating for the downward ex-
pansiOn of the steel rod and brass bob.
Professor Smith says that four month s
use of this pendulum on an astrOnOmi-
cal clock has given very satisfactory
results. 1t can be adapted, at a cost
of 20 cents, to the ordinary mantle
piece clock, the pendulum of which
usually beats in half seconds.
