Butter from France.

flour dairymen need spur, an eve
opener lesson which speaks volumes
in three words, here is one at the head
of this article. Butter is evidently
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
attractive shape for small consumers.
When we know that one dairymen
gets $l.15 pound for his produce,
another 81, and another IS cents the
whole year round, at his dairy door
it is easily seen that it viii pay to

ers who will have something nice
whatever it may cost. All this butter
is made from choice cows, fed in the
cleanest manner. The milk is hand
led as though it were nectar; the
cream is churned with clock and Their
mometer; the butter is worked with
skill, and is 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 sen.
ses-with an unsightly chunk, which
is cut out of greasy keg, and smells
of old age and rancidity, and is made
from ill-kept cream, from cows filthy
lodged and carelessly MIXED, and is
churned anyhow, and the difference is
amply accounted for.-N. Y. Tribune

Wall Papers.
From Appleton's Journal.

There is this satisfaction in WALL
furniture that it cannot, as general
thing, be sat upon or covered up,
but is the very point in furnishing
that is most frequently open to crit
icism. Wallpapers are seldom what
they should be; and many "sweet
things" at the paper hangers are
transformed into unexpected ugliness
by the process Of hanging. Looking
at the paper in the roll is such q diff
fersnt matter from seeing it on the
wall that, to prevent q very disagree
able surprise, several widths Of it
should be held side by side in the
room for which it is intended, beft re
the paper is decided upon. 1t Is apt
to look darker when on the wall.
For ball, the palest Of greens or
browns is usually the most pleasing
10 effect; or the walls may be panel !.
ed artistically.
Paper is very important item in
the furnishing of a room, and should
De selected with great care, tc har-
monize with the other appointments.
Plain papers that have the effect of
painting are generally the most sat-
isfactory; and they should contain
just the least suspicion of the tint to
be aimed at. The palest of pinks
With lines of vivid crimson in the
corners, and narrow band of it Just
below the moulding of dead gold, is
beautiful for parlor where the pre-.
vailing tone of the furniture is gray.
1t furnished ia crimson or blue, the
wallpaper should be Of pale gray
or cream color. A paneled psper for
halls may be made by covering the
whole surface with paper of the body
color, and then tt king darker shade
OF the same color to form the divid.
ing lines.
"Fallen-leaf' shade is recommend
ed, by q good authority, for dining
room-partieulsrIy if The pictures
there are in giIded frames. But the
tint is only to be distinguished from
white by laying sheet of pure
white paper on it.
1t is farther advised that "the
woodwork of the room so papered
should be of dark oak or walnut; and
just under the cornice, and two inches
from the wood work, should be fine
ribbon like line, cut out of paper, of a
pure and bright primary red; about
one-sixth of an inch in width. The
corners may be enriched by giving
to the lioes some curving knot or rec
tangular fret; little ingenuity and
a sharp pair of scissors will produce
them as fast as wanted" This is in
tended to give the effect of fresco or
oil painting at small expense.
Another authority says that paper
hanging should never cover the
whole space over the wall from floor
to ceiling; but that a sdado," or
pllnth-space, of plain color, either in
paper or distemper, should be left to
the heighth of two or three feet from
the floor. A light wood moulding,
stained or gilded,. should separate
this from the paper above. A sec.
ond space, or frieze. just below the
ceiling, filled with arabesque oIna-
ment painted on a distempered
ground, is always effective-bus, of
course, involves some additional ex
peDse. An unreieved pattern of
monotonous design, or plain paper.
continued over an entire wall, has q
very dreary effect, as the eye Graves
rest in travelling over a large space.

THF TELEPHONE CAUSES TROUBLE
IN THE FAMILY.-The telephone has
reached the Pacific coast, and causes
the San Francisco Daily CaU to tell a
funny tale, as follows
Mr.. Perkins, a San Francisco
broker, bought two of Prof. Bells
telephones, and made connection be-
tween his office and parlor. He
thought it would be pleasant thing
to converse with his wife when bust
ness was slack, to inform her when
he would go to dinner, and to learn
how often his youngest soE fell down
the celler stairs during the day. One
morning he was conversing by wire
with his wife about a new bonnet,
when broker came in end asked
about some stocks. He "telephoned"
to his wife that he was busy, and
without serving connection with the
instrument turned to the broker and
opened negotiations for the purchase
of Julia, Lady Byron and other
stocks. Mrs. Perkins, at the other
end of the line listened intently, and
finally caught her husbands words !:
am take Julia at $50" Her sus>
picions were aroused: there was q
woman in the case she burst into
an animated soliloquy, which the
faithful telephone carried to the ears
of her husband and his customer
sPll Julia him wretch william
married fifteen years where's my
rnbbers?-just wait till | get hold of
him." These words, together with
miscellaneous tokens Of confusion
and racket, denoted active prepare
tions for sortie upon his office.
Perkins broke off his stock negotis
tons, and went homo to appease his
wife. The instruments were snbsc-
qucDtly removed.

How Our Lives are Endangered.
From the New York Graphic.

1t is the duty of the press to warn
the public of possible dangers. The
flaming theatre is not the only horror
imminent. Having access to certain
tables of casualties through the conr-
tesy of famous statistician we find
the following enumerations
Since 1910 1000 people in the UNI
ted States have met with their deaths
through bursting blood-vessels by I'M
moderate laughter.
Allowing 500 for the number de-
stroyed in 1911 by the burning OF the
Richmond Theatre, the recent Brook
Ign and other casualties, we find the
danger in sixty-fve years from laugh
ing at comedy and farce to be twice
as great as that by fire or panic. 1t
seems conducive to the public safety,
therefore, that managers put only Sc
rious dramas on the stage.
At least this would seem so were 1t
not for the appalling fact that Q 600
people have died in sixty.fiye years
from hypochondria superinduced by
watching such plays as eHamlet"
'sThe Robbers" and Lear" There
fore, the danger from witnessing the
melancholy drama is four times great
er than fire or panic.
Following these tables further, we
find that in sixty-five years 1000 wo-
men have been checked by swallow
ing pins held in the mouth. Either
the manufacturer of pins should be
discouraged or women should be
