The Origin of Man.


San Francisco Chronicle.
One day last week young lady
well known in the exclusive first cir
cles of San Francisco society for un-
rivalled personal charms and ele-
gance of accomplishments, was driv-
en- around to make a congratulation
call upon a married lady friend, who
was happily convalescing from that
occasional sacred event in the lives
of married ladies which, far from be-
ing sickness, is the perfect culmi-
nation of their health. She was
shown into the parlor, and for the
few minutes required to arrange for
her reception i'll that room where
mother and child were doing rs well
as could be expected, was left with
no other to entertain her than the
only son and heir of the house, Mas
ter Charles, then in his fourth year.
But Charlie was fully equal to the
situation, and promises to grow up
into an ornament of society that will
never be abashcd by beauty, howcv-
er brilliant, into the painful mega
tive OF "nothing to say" After some
unessential preliminary remarks,
Master Charles approached nearer
the visitor and, Il wering his tone in
to the confidential, asked "N[iss-,
have 90 dot II baby?''
The young lady gave one swift
glance around to assure herself there
was no other nearer of this pertinent
question, and replied:
"No, Charlie, dear, have not"
Sand did 90 never have Il baby?"
In spite of the youth of her eager
interlocutor, her handsome eyes drop
ped before his ingenious gaze, and her
pretty face flushed as she replied;
"No, Charlie, | never did. Is no.
this Il beautiful day."
CANT 90 never doin' to have no
baby?" persisted Charlie, declining
to enteron the tempting converse
tional side track of the weather.
only boy, l can't tell. Tell me
all the names of whom these are the
photographs"
"And don't 90 want a baby?"
"Why Charlie, boy, what a close
questioner you are. If you are not
careful you will grow INTO one of
those newspaper lnterviewers, and
then what will your poor mamma
think of you?"
"Recause," continued Charley,
utterly refusing to be switched Oft,

doctor brought my man ma one, and
he keepth them in hith offith. You

"Well Charley, Pm sure Pm much

and I'll know where to 60"
ooh, Miss-,oo needn't 90 there
at all. I'll tell my papa when he
tums home that 90 want Il baby, and
he'll Diet 90 one, and"
That young lady seized that little
boy by the shoulders, and, leaning
over SO as TO look full into his eyes,
she said with an lmpressiveness lent
by sudden terror:
'See here Charlie. listen to mo.
| don'twant any baby yet, and don t
if you ever say anything about it to
your pa I'll never like You any more
at al at all-never, never, never.
Now, will you promise?"
"Well, if 90 don't want Il baby, l
won't; but | tot everybody liked to

The Way to Cut Flowers.

The florists employ pair of scis-
sors. with which the stems are sever
ed. But writer in the american
Garden says that the flowers should
never be pulled off-nor should the
stems be severed with scissors, but
cut off with sharp knife. The best
time for cutting flowers is immediate
ly after shutdown, unless to preserve
them from storm, which would
otherwise destroy or prevent their
being cut IN the evening. On cloudy
days the time of cutting is matter
matter of much less difference. The
explanation of these rules, as to the
proper time for cutting, is found in
the state of the sap at different times
of the day and night. From the
earliest dawn until sundown, the
leaves are actively drawing upon the
roots, and the sap is flowing freely.
After that time the leaves are nearly
dormant until morning. The plant
is then resting, is asleep. A flower
cut in the sunshine will wilt at once,
and if not put into water, will quick
ly perish, whereas, if cut at sunset, it
will remain fresh all night. In a
cool place it will not appear to
change for long time, even if not
put in water; yet in a close, hot
room it will fade IN an hour. The
usual manner is to cut all flowers
with a long stem. Unnatural as it
may seem, the true way tor the
greater part of our tlowers) is to re-
move them without a stem. Roses
should be cut with long stem--the
longer the better, provided other
buds are not destroyed. The carna-
ton and all plants that bear their
flowers in clusters should be removed
without stems. The heliotrope
should be allowed a very short stem,
and the verbena should only be cut
as far down as the first leaf. A bit
of wire or match-stick will serve
for Il stem if it is desired to make OF
these stemless flowers boquet. If
they are to be placed in shallow
dishes-the best way to display
them-the stems are of no conse-
quence. Do not collect flowers in
large bundles, or tie them together,
as these processes also hasten decay.

Action Of Cold Upon Milk.

Prof. Maurice Perkins, of Union
College, translates from 4 French
journal some statements on this sub
ject which are of interest in connec-
ton with the discussions now going
on here with regard to the Hardin
and other systems of setting milk for
cream. 1t is an abstract from a pa
per read by Eug. Tisserand, read, we
presume, before the French Acade
my:
Numerous experiments have been
made by exposing milk to different
temperatures, varying from 80 deg.
Far. to 100 deg. Far, and the follow
ing facts have been elected:
l. The raise of cream is the more
rapid as the temperature to which
the milk is exposed approaches az
deg.
2. The volume Of cream is great
er when the milk has been efficiently
cooled.
8. The yield of butter is also
greater when the milk has been ex-
posed to Il very low temperature.
4. Finally, the skinned milk. the
butter and the cheese are of better
quality when prepared under the
above circumstances.
While it is impossible to offer a
satisfactory explanation as to the rea-
son why artificial cold should pro-
duce a beneficial effect upon the
yield and quality of the products de-
rived from the milk, 1t is probable
that it may tend TO arrest that fer
mentative decomposition which is so
prone to set in with organic fluids,
and thus by preventing incipient al
teration, indirectly to improve the
quality of the material.
The practice Of warming the dairy
in the winter time, SO as to maintain
its atmosphere at constant temper-
ature of about 60 deg, is, therefore,
Objectionable; the pans should stand
IN running water at as low temper
ature as can be practically obtained.
1t is further suggested that the
foregoing facts should be brought
prominently before the notice of
those who are engaged in the manu-
facture Of dairy products in order
that the many erroneous notions on
this subject may be gradually elimi-
mated.

Satisfy, or Vegetable Oyster.

We are surprised that this useful
and delicately favored vegetable is
not more generally grown. Com:
paratiyely few know anything about
it and take it for granted that it is
not worth much, and that time and
ground would be wasted on it
But in reality it is one of the most
delightful Of our Autumn and Win
ter vegetables; is as easily grown as
the parsnip, and keeps as we'll
through the Winter. 1t gives 4 va
riety when the list of vegetables is
small. All who are fond of fried
oysters should certainly tryit. They
will be surprised to find how much
Of oyster taste it furnishes.
Only the root of the plant is eaten,
and to prevent the roots from grow
ing forked, as they are apt to do, the
manure must be buried very deep
The best way is to open a trench
eighteen inches deep, place the ma
nure at the bottom, return the soil,
and SOW the seeds in drill little
over an inch deep, SO as to tempt
the roots to run straight down to it.
The drills may be one foot apart,
and when the plants are two or three
inches high they should be thinned
out so as to leave six inches between
each plant. Sow the seed early in
the Spring and the roots will be
ready for use in October and con-
tinue good through the Winter and
early Spring. BY covering the ground
with a litter, before frost, they
can be kept and dug whenever wan
ted. 1t is well, however, to take
up portion before hard frost, and
house them as you would carrots OF
parsnlps.
There are several ways Of cooking
satisfy. 1t may be simply boiled,
then sliced with a plentiful dressing
of butter, and salt. But it most re-
sembles the oyster in taste when
half boiled; then grated fine, and made
into small, flat balls, which are dip
ped in egg and fried.
