ANTIQUE BUTTER.
From The Duflu News.

Butter in the literal not the metaphorical, aceep-
tati0n of the word. is known to be q very ancient
invention. Fancy, left to ITSELF may devise various
ways in which the not very obvious transformation
of white and speedily decOmpOsng fluid into a
yellow and tolerably lasting solid may have been
hit upon. Perhaps the original buCtermaker put
some milk III q bag when he went for ride, and
after an exciting chase of the casual wild animal
discovered that his bag contained butter. Such a
process Is said to be gone through intentionally at
present by that favOrite of travellers aud
nOyests The wild hOrseman Of the Pampas.
At any rate, most ancient languages have
words for butter and butter itself of very respect
able antiquity has been recently discovered. Alta
recent meeting 0f the Society Of Public Analysts.
Professor Church read paper on two such disco
veries. One was Irish butter found in peat bog
and supposed to be 1000 years old. Ii is not said
that the sample submitted to or tested BY those
important persons the managers OF the Cork butter
market. But it was decided to be unquestiOnably
butter though altered and turned into something
rather like cheese and rather like tallow by the
vegetable matter surrounding it.
The other much more venerable, and was. as
may be guessed, Egyptian. 1t was found carefully
pOtted and judged to be at least 800 years old,
was only little turned. and still tasted and smelt
like butter. There very few food products which
have been known 10 attain anything like this age,

ciated with the idea of keeping Icing apt to disap'

NAPoLEoN'S Parents. The family of
Bonapartes were Of pure Italian race; I;
there was not drop Of French blood in
any of them. Their ancestors had coise
from the mainland in the early history OF
Corsica, and their names are found in the
remote annals of Aiiccio. Carlo Bona
parte was poor gentleman of excellent
breeding and character, who married in
his youth young and romantic giil
named Letizia Ramolno. who followed
him in his camptigns up to the moment
of the birth OF Napoleon 1t is impossible
to say how much the history of Europe
owes to the high heart and in'lomtable
spirit of this solderly woman. She never
relinquiShed her authority in her family.
When all her children were princes and
potentates, she was still the severe. stern
Madam Mere. The beauty and grace of
Josephine never conquered her; the sweet
Tgrolese pruttincss Of Maria Louisa won
from her only II sort of contemptuous in
dulgence. When her mighty son rulod
the continent, she was the only human
hriDg whose chidings he regarded or en-
dured. She WAS faithful in her rehukes
while the sun shone, and when c,lamity
came her undaunted spirit was still true
and devoted to the ial!en. Her provincial
habit Of economy stood her in good stead
in her vigorous old are; she was rich
N.gen the empire passed away, and her
Grandchildren needed her aid. 1t must
have been from her that Napoleon took
his extraordinary character, for Carlo
Bonaptrle, though Il brave soldier and ah
ardent pntriot in his youth. was of an easy
AVID genial temper, inclined to take the
world rs he found it and not to insist too
much on having it 30 in his especial way.

he accepted the situation without regret,
and, becoming intimate with the conquer

sons. Napoleon and Louis, were given
scholarships at Blienne and Au,en. and
his eldest daughter. Elsie, entered the
royal institution at st. Cyr. While yet in
the prime of life he died Of the same
deadly disease which was to finish Nipo-

mother, her responsibilities becoming still
heavier by this blow. lived for eight years
longer amid lne confusion and civil tu-

TIE TRUE LADY.-Ih he lady does not
lose caste because she makes her own
clothes and is obliged to cconomize. A
lady" is woman who clearly under
stands and consistently practices the re,
fnements Of u highly civilized existence
and the most real distinction between Il
lady and II woman who is not a lady is
that one is more civilized than the other.
and more determined TO preserve the hab.
its of a high civilization, both in her own
person and all those over whom size has
authority. These habits are not simply
habits OF expense; it is cheaper to remain
sober than 10 get IipSy, and yet it is more
ladylike to be sober 1t does not cost more
money 10 speak good English than bad, Or
to be gentle than rude; yet IL lady always,
from preference, speaks correctly and has
gentle manners. 1t SO happens by the
force of circumstances that there are more
mdies in the upper classes than in the
lower, and that there is a severe public
opinion in the upper classes about mos'
things which, taken together. constitute
civil ,zatiun, because il is fault in rich
people (who have great faciiities), not t'
be clan, and cultivated, and polite. when
it mat only be IA misfortune in poor ones.
Tnero is, then, IT ally such Il thing rs lady

illzing Influences.
