Cream Eating.

Mr.. Charles A. Holmes says in tho
Rural Home, that though he was born and
brought up on farm, he never remem-
bered eating cream until his first visit to
New York city, where friend invited
him to lunch house called THE Dairy,
He ate there bowl of cream ESQ., called
probably two-thirds milk, and brown
bread, and was ever after partial to tnat
diet-in fact, in nine cases out of ten he
takes nothing else for supper, and is
healthier and happier therefor. Cream
is more palatable and healthier than but
ter, and less expensive. Sweet cream!
hcw city people would smack their lips
over the thought, yet farmers do not
seem to use ie~ freely as food. Baked
sweet apples, and strawberries and cream
what dish can be more enticing9 But
ter is a habit that grows on one like
smoking; we eat it in our travels even if
it has bad taste, rather than take the
sweet, fragrant bread alone; then we eat
more and more as the years 90 by, until
we dispose of quarter of a pound daily
without being conscious of it. Add to
this the fat of meats, and that used by
the good wife a. ''shortening," and is it
wonder that the doctor is the moneyed
man of the town? Try the milk and
cream cure. Season it if you will, call 1t
butter If you will, but try it, and see if
the hard times and other diseases do not
begin to disappear.

The following simple rules for preserv-
ing health and promoting personal COM
fort, If not new to some of our readers
(says the Scientific American), are none
the less important to every one.
The object Of brushing the teeth is to
remove the destructive particles of food
which by their decomposition generate
decay. To neutraize the acid resulting
from this chemical change is the object
OF dentriice. A stiff brush should be
used after everv meal, and thread of
silk floss or India rubber passed through
between the teeth to remove particles of
cod. Rinsing the mouth in lime water
neuualizes the acid.
Living and sleeping in room in which
the sun never enters is slow form of
suicide. A sun bath is the most refresh
ing and Aife-giving bath that can posi-
bly, be taken. - So -
Always keep the feet warm, and thus
avoid colds. To this end, never sit in
damp shoes or wear foot coverings fitting
and pressing closely. = z
A full bath should not be taken less
han three hours after meal. Never
drink cold water before bathing. Do not

Two Anecdotes Of the Second Empire.
Paris Letter 70 New Orleans Picayune.


Granier de Cassagnac has begun to
publish memories of the second empire.
They are already extremely interesting.
He was in the green room during the
whole performance of the imperial drama,
and few if any secrets were withheld
from him. He tells very amusing an
ecdote of Theirs and Mole. They pressed
Louis Napoleon to cut off his mustache
as the surest way to secure his his cleo
ton to the Presidency, ''for now the civil,
not the military element is to the fore
most. See, neither of us wears beard"
Here is another very characteristic anec-
dote: "In 1848 he charmed the women
of Faubourg St. Antoine with his good
nature. He had come incognito to Paris
and visited the ruins which Gen. Cava-
ignac's cannon had made in this quarter
of Paris. 1t was the Goth of June, dur
ing the truce which General Cavaignac
had granted the insurgents. The woman
of Rue DIES Faubourg St. Antoine, less
fanatical and more practical than their
husbands, brothers, OF children, were at
once busy demolishing barbados.
While they were at work they saw walk
ing up the street, walking calmly and
slowly in consequence of the obstacles OF
all sorts which encountered the street,
man leaning on friends arm. He
wore delicate straw -colored, gloves, car
ried cane, and observed them as they
demolished barbados. Annoyed both
by his aristocratic dress, bearing g, and his
air of security, the women screamed at
him, "Look here, you dandy! ''you had
better help us put these paving s,ones in
their old places instead of idly sauntering
about as you are doing!" He replied:
"You are right, aunty; I have come TO
Paris for the very purpose of trying to re-
establish order, and it is perfectly righ that
should help you in your work Of paci-
tication.' he stopped, slowly drew off
bis gloves, gave them and his cane to his
friend, took paving stone, fitted it in
its hole, steadied it there width four
handfuls of sand, then put on his gloves,
took his cane and walked off, bowling to
the women as he went. They applauded
him and laughed heartily.

ENGLISH GRAIN.

Greater Confidence Generally Shown, and
the Advance Noted Last Week Main
talned
LONDON, March 12.-The Mark Lane Express
says: Offerings of English wheat have been
moderate both at Mark Lane and in the coun-
try. The aspect of trade shows greater conf
dence on the part of buyers and q more active
demand than for some time past. Prices con-
tinue to improve. The advance of q shilling
per quarter In both English and foreign wheat
was well maintained ut market Monday last,
when, with the unusually light imports, mill
ers bought with tolerable freedom. Subse-
quent markets held in London have, it is true,
been less animated, but holders have shown no
inclination to low pretensions now that wheat
stocks have fallen line and confidence in the
future issto some extent restored by the firm
attitude Of the American markets. and the re-
vival of the continental demand. Considerable
sales of fine Russian and American have been
made at an advance of one shilling and six
pence per quarter from the recent lowest point,
except maize, which has given way from three
pence to six pence per quarter, under the pres
sure of continued liberal imports. Business in
feeding corn has not quotably changed. The
demand is mainly of q retail consumption ma
ture at shout late rates. Sales of English
wheat last week amounted t. A, 491 quarters at
500. Id. against IS, 748 quarters at Cos. I'd. for
the corresponding period of the previous year:
Imports into the United Kingdom. for the week
ending March LIST were $50, 72l hundred weights
of wheat and 49,, 900 hundred weights Of flour.

man, weighing probably $50 pounds, he
dwindled= away to a,r-mere ~skeleton.s His
hands became horrible to look at by reason
of their loss Of flesh. Strangely enough, too,
all this time the man, who was perfectlyoon-
sclous and rational, had no appetite, no crav-
ing for food. The smell Of victuals, he said,
made him sick. From the time he went to
his sisters house, four days after the accident,
he had not stood on his feet, lying alternate,

posture he kept, at the recommendation

food ne became 80 weakened that there was
no option in the matter, and he had to lie

was suggested by his physician, but this his

ance could be given that it would result in
saving his life. This, Of course, the physi-

food. Wagonseller died, death resulting from
hamilton, or, in other words, starvation. To
the very last he had no appetite for food.
The day before his death he began Is get
short OF breath, and told his relatives that
ne felt himself dying. Up to the last hour he
retained his senses and talked freely about
his case, instructing his relatives to
have post.mortem examination made
upon his body. In accordance with
his request the examination was made by
Drs: Stewart and Agnew. The plate,: with
the teeth in it, was found about one inch
and half above the entrance Of the stom-
ach, the hooks firmly imbedded in the flesh.
There were marks at certain intervals in the
throat, showing the progress of the plate aa
it passed downward, the prints of the teeth
being in several places plainly visible. Had
the plate, which was about two inches long
and an inch wide, passed into the stomach,
in the opinion of the physicians, it would
have dissolved, and the mans life been
saved. As it was, the plate passed down the
throat in transverse form, and, once lodged
at the furthest point, displacement was i'm
possible.

Words OF Wisdom.
Truth is an immortal flower.
Tears are due to humane miaer


Tears are due to humane misery.
As the heart is, so is love to the heart.
Conversation is the ventilation of the
heart.
A man will confess his faults, but new
er his tollios.
The first and worst of all frauds is to
cheat oneself.
A man may be great scholar, and yet
q great sinner.
The solemn thought of the tomb is the
skeleton at every feast.
Countries are we'll cultivated, not as
they are, but as they are free.
Age respects love, but, unlike youth, it
respects little the 81 ns OF love.
The rich man wrongs himself by every
superiority which he does not share.
The measure of choosing we'll is wheth-
er man likes what he has chosen.
Truth is as impossible to be soiled by
any outward touch as the sunbeam.
No man is the wiser for his learning.
Wit and wisdom are born with man.
Hide not the truth when We know it,
and clothe not the truth with falsehood.
Our greatest glory consists not in never
falling, but in rising every time We fall.
The way to gain a good reputation is
to endeavor to be what you desire to ap-
pear.
Reason is the life of the law; nay, the
common law itself is nothing else but
reason.
>There is NO man 50 or. at as not to have
some ittleness more predominant than
all his greatness.
Nothing exasperates more than a con-
siderate, quiet hearted; passionate heart
ed does so far less.
Make but few explanations; the char
| acter that cannot otherwise defend itself
is not worth indicating.
To write we'll is to think we'll, to feel
| we'll and to render we'll; it is to possess
at once intellect, soul and taste.
A man can do without his own appro-
baton in much society, but must make
great exertions to gain it when he lives
alone.
The reputation of man is like his
shadow-gigantic when it precedes him,
and pigmy in its proportions when it
follows him.

was employed in a cotton factory at Fair

entered Chestnut street restaurant to pet
supper. When about half through the meal
he suddenly felt something sharp and point
ed going down his throat, causing him in
tense pain. For moment he thought he
had swallowed large and jagged piece of
bone, but, putting his hand to his mouth in
stinotively on feeling the pain, he found
that his false teeth were missing, and he
knew that it must have been they which had
goDa down his throat. The teeth were three
in number. They were fastened to a silver
plate, and had been in his mouth for many
years. Recently the hooks holding them in
place had worn loose, and the artificial teeth
had annoyed him by falling from his month
several times. Plate and all had gone down
his throat, and he could feel them lodged
against his breast. Alarmed and suffering
intensely, Wsgonseller went to his home.
