Cheap Dinners in Paris.

The "Bouillon Duval," which was in
tended at first to be a cheap restaurant
for the working classes, has gradually
lost its character, and o of the estab-
lishments comprised under that name
now provide meals at a price which
makes them accessible to the poor. This
fact has been brought to the notice of a
wealthy Frenchman who takes a great
interest in all social questions, and
within the last fortnight he has opened
a restaurant in the Rue de la Verrerie,
which is in the most crowded part of
Paris, and at which good wholesome
food will be provided at cost price.
This is the first experiment of the kind,
but | am given to understand that if it
proves successful-that is to say, if the
restaurant is self-supporting-others
will be opened, perhaps, by the NUM-
cipality of Paris, which is following
with great interest the present essay.
The place has only been open a fort
night, but the number of customers has
already averaged 5000 a day, and there
is every sign of their increasing-so
much SO that the proprietor finds his
staff of forty servants insufficient. The
restaurant consists of a spacious room,
well lighted and well ventilated, the
walls of which are covered with large
maps of different countries. Two long
rows of tables on each side of the room
enable several hundred people to take
their meal at the same time without any
hurry or confusion. Upon arriving at
the restaurant each customer buys at a
small kiosk outside the dining room
as many counters as he pleases, the cost
of each being a penny, and he takes
them with him into the room. At the
entrance into the restaurant, these coun-
ters are exchanged for soup, meat, We
getables, bread, wine, &C., according
to choice, and the customers help them
to knives, forks and spoons, which are
placed upon dressers ready for use, the
Ohlg WIN uOIO ny JiiO NdipVlS DOllS W
clear the tables as each customer leaves.
The breakfast hours are from III to q
quarter past l, at which time the room
Is cleared, to be %reopened for dinner at
a quarter before six. Dinner is served
up to a quarter past 8. Some of the pri-
ces are as follows: A pint Of soup, one
pence; about three and a half ounces
of meat, two pence; a plate of veget-
ables, one pence; half a pint of good
red wine, two pence; half a pound of
bread, one pence; Thus, for about six
pence, a substantial meal may be had.
Everything supplied is Of good quality,
and the bread Is baked upon the pre-
misses. The customers have so far been
wholly of the working classes, and the
desire OF the proprietor is to coniine it
lto their rs much rs possible.

The Largest Bell in the World.

At the temple of Ularo in Kioto, Ja-
pan, is seen the largest bell in the world,
hanging in a tower on the hill, and is
as perfect in tone as the day it was sus-
pended. BY measurement 1t exceeds the
great bells at Peking, China, and at
Russia, both of which are also said to
be cracked. Where the bell was cast
and by whom is lost in the shades of
antiquity. Chinese and Sanscrit char
acters cover the entire surface of the
bell, but no modern japanese scholar or
priest can translate them. This bell Is
"a feet In height and 6 inches thick at
the rim, and, when the priests sound 1t
at s O'Clock every evening, its majestic
boom, boom is heard many miles down
the valley. None Of the bells in Japan
have "clappers," but are sounded by
suspended levers of wood, used like a
battering ram, and striking the bell on
the outside.

Mehsis,.r BeneroIenee.

While Mr.. Webster was living at
Portsmouth he had occasion One night
TO be out about the 'small hours" II
was an intensely cold, clear, moonlight
night i'm December: the ground was
thickly spread with snow, and the
streets were quite deserted. As lac pro-
ceeded homeward he observed a woman
at some distance in front Of him; and
from the lateness Of the hour, the in
clemency of the weather, and her pc
culiar movements, his attention was at
tracted TO her. She would trot on a lit
tie way, then stop and look back and
listen, and then walk on again. Mr..
Webster, keeping himself ont of sight,
attentively observed her movements.
She was going the same way that he
was; and, on coming TO the street that
turned toward his own resadince, she
stopped again, looked cautiously around
for a moment, and then went down the
street. Mr.. Webster's house stood with
its gable end toward the street; from
his front doorstep to the sidewalk he
had caused to be laid some loose boards
owe the snow. At his gate the woman
paused for a moment, looked around
again, and quickly picked up one of
the boards, put it under her arm, and
made off. Mr.. Webster continued care
fully to follow. The poor womanhur-
ried as fast as she could with her bur-
den to a distant part Of the town, and,
coming to a small and ruinous wooden
tenement, entered and closed the door.
The next day she received, to her sur
prise it may be supposed, a cord of
wood.-Harcey's Memoirs of Webster.

An Indian Legend.

The following story, selected from an
Eastern teacher, may be applicable in
all climes and to all people:
"There was nee G beautiful damsel
upon whom one Of the good genii
wished to bestow a blessing. He led
her to the edge of a large field of corn,
where he said to her
Daughter, in the field before rs the
ears of corn, in the hands of those who
pluck them in faith, shall have tails
manic virtues, and the virtue shall be
In proportion to the size and beauty of
the ear gathered. Thou shalt pass
through the field once, and pluck one
ear. 1t must be taken as thou goest
forward, and thou shalt not stay in thy
path, nor shalt thou retrace q single
step in quest Of thine object. Select an
ear full and fair, and according to its
size and beauty shall be its value to
thee as a talisman."
"The maiden thanked the good genius
and then set forward upon her quets.
AS she advanced she saw many ears of
corn, large, ripe and beautiful, such as
calm judgment might have told her
would possess virtues enough but in
her eagerness to grasp the very best
she left these fair ears behind, hoping
that she might find one still fairer. At
length, as the day was closing, she
reached a part Of the field where the
stalks were shorter and thinner, and
the ears very small and shriveled. She
now regretted the grand ears she mad
left behind, and disdained to pick from
the poor show around her, for here she
found not an ear which bore perfect
grain. She went on, but, alas! only to
find the stalks more feeble and blighted,
until in the end, as the day was clos
ing, and the night coming on, she found
herself at the end of the field without
having plucked an ear of any kind.
mo need that the genius should re
buke her for her folly. She saw it
clearly when too late, as how many doin
all climes and in all ages. In the eve
ming Of life they call sadly and regret
ing to mind the thousand golden oppor-
tunities forever, lost because they were
not pluoked In their season."

CRANBERRY Enthusiastically wash
and pick owe two quarts of cranberries,
add one pint of cold water, and place
them in apOrcelain- lined saucepan over
a quick fire, stir occasionally, and when
the berries are soft mash them thor
roughly with a spoon, bring to a boil,
and then add a quart bowlful of granu-
lated sugar, boil ten minutes, and then
pour into moulds. The berries should
not be on the fire more than twenty
five minutes, as the more quickly they
are done the more brilliant the color of
the jelly will be. Cool the .moulds with
the cold water before using.

COMBINE THE Two.-A correspondent
writes: 81 think the most profitable
way to manage a farm is to combine
dairying with pig-raising. Make a
number n article of butter, and you
can get a yearly contract for it at a
good price, and then keep sows of the
best breed you can get and raise two
filters of pigs each year; with the sour
milk you car make the pigs grow
rapidly. The practice of most farmers
(and my own for many years. is to breed
the young sows in the spring and then
fatten them, but 1 get better pigs from
mature sows, and l find that a little ex-
ira care will make fine hogs of Septem.
Der and October pigs. The last two
years my fall pigs have done better and
have been quite as profitable as the
spring filters. l think l al make my
pork cheaper by having rye for early
pasture, and then clover for the sum-
mer.

AGRICULTURE.

KEKPNG STOCK CLEA.-It ought TO
be the duty Of the stOckman TO see that
all cattle that are kept constantly tied
up should receive q thorough brushing
daily. Stock that are accustomed TO
have their heads tied get very dirty
about the neck and shoulders unless
they receive a careful grooming"
Cleanliness is very essential for cattle
always under cover, not only because
disease is thereby prevented from
making its inroads, but also because
stock thrive better. and reach maturity
a great deal quicker, when carefully
tended, than when they are not. Cattle
kept In mammels or loose boxes, do not,
perhaps, require so much attention as
those whose heads are tied TO the stall,
as they can with freedom lick them
selves, but they should not be neglected
on that account; and the careful stock
farmer will do we'll 10 see that his
stockman gives them proper attention.
1t frequently happens, however, that
cattle do become very dirty about the
body-whether from neglect or a natu-
raj predisposition to get dirty it is un-
necessary TO consider. In such cases, a
good remedy is to apply to the affected
parts a mixture Of fish oil and flour Of
sulphur, In the proportion OF four
ounces of sulphur to a quart of oil.
This mixture should be vigorously
ribbed into the body, and about three
days after this has been done, the af-
fected parts must receive a good wash
ing with soft soap and warm water.
The oil and sulphur may be applied
once more In the same name as be-
fore, the mixture being made a little
stronger should there be no observable
improvement from the first washing.
This mixture applied twice generally
sufices to effect a complete cure of the
ailment.

Chemical analysis discloses the fact
that among the many articles used for
food there are only two, wheat and
milk, which contain all the elements of
the human body and in the proper pro-
portions. Other articles-such as butter,
sugar, syrup, and fat of all kinds are
wholly carbonaceous, or heat produc-

attempt to live on these articles alone
his brain and muscles would starve. By

SUGGESTIONS ABOUT House PLANTS
The Gala lily bloo ms at three years.
Take an ordinary earthen jar, without
a hole in the bottom, put the lily in
and fill the jar three-quarters full of
rich earth; fill with warm water in
which you have put a few drops of am.
monia; keep in a warm room; give as
much light and sun as possible, and
plenty of water.
The English ivy If put in a bottle of
water, can be trained, and made to grow
where you like.
Hyacinth bulbs can be planted any
time between this and December. For
house bloom plant in pots, or place in
water in hyacinth glasses. Set in a
dark, dry place for two or three weeks,
then give them plenty OF flight and warm
water, and they will soon bloom. Tulips,
narcissus, and crocus can be treated in
the same way.

Cope, in Western Texas. He has

whose hoofs are divided. The breed
was raised from a single hog which I'M
expectedly was found to have this

Since the hogs of the new breed do not
answer to the Levitical specification of
of unclean animals, they may not be
