The Way They Churn in Texas.

th6tght that I had seen O 5Ood many
kinds OF cftifhs before I came down nee
(says a New England Yankee, writing
from Texas)-crank churns, dasher
churns, and chemical chuTns." But
+Till now describe a mode of churning
butter that will, think, make New En-
gland folks open their eyes. Common
", they do not makemuch butter in this
county, and the settlers here come to
get along without it; but, by the time l
had been at the poesta two or three days,
I began to want some butter Onsmy
bread.
Nj had a herd of twenty-five or
thirty cattle, which he kept for beef,
and among them were number of mich
COWS. Ed was hidden to set the milk
for twenty-four hours, and the next
morning M told LizadO, or Liz,
as ne called him, to churn. They had
done such thing as to chUrn butter be-
fore. it appears. Liz went out and
brought bag of raw hide, about as large
as q common meal bag. How clean it
was inside, 1 am sure I do not know, but
he turned the cream into it, and poured
in new milk enough to fill it two-thirds
full, and then he tied it up with strong
strip of hide.
Nj stood with broad grin ON his
face. I was already too much astOrhshed
to make any remarks. Liz now carried
the bag out of doors, and then got his
horse. Taking his lassoo off the saddle,
he made one end of it fast to the cream
bag, the other end, as usual, being at
tached to q ring in the saddle. This
done, he jumped on the horse and tucked
spurs to him. Away he went, and at
the first jerk that bag went ten feet into
the air, and fell with squach, close up
to the horses heels. At the next jerk it
went higher still. He soon went out of
sight, with the bag dancing after him.
Sometimes it hit down alongside the
horse, and sometimes it struck slap on
the animals rUImp. M was con-
vulsed with laughter-at me, suppose;
for / must confess that this upset all
my previous ideas of butter-making. IN
the course Of twenty or thirty minutes
Liz came back, the horse looling pretty
hot, and the bag very dusty.
"Es mantica" Cutters Gomez, said
he. Ed united the chUrn, and, sure
enough, there was a good homely chunk
of butter in it; and it proved to be very
decent butter, too. / asked if that was
the way they always churned. They
said it was, and Ed declared it was " a
dale asier than turnin' crank" So l
respectfully submit the "method TO all
our good people up North. Everything
needed for it is a sole-leather bag,
clothes-line and horse.

KING ALFoNso's eldest sister, the
Princess Asturias, is described as a wO-
man of character and will, and capable
of strong and unselfsh attachments
The adversity in which she was schoOled
did not subjugate her Castillian P-ioC.
Her life has been one of perpetual dis
appointment. For some years she was
the heir to her mothers crown; but she
easily forgave Don AlphOnso for having
supplanted her. The wild life and
headstrong temper of Queen Isabella
rendered her unhappy as a girl. She
married the Count de Girgenti, with
whom she fell in love, and afterward
discovered that he was a victim to epi-

her from the marriage; but she resolved

she had borne the chain for three years,
delivered her from it by committing
suicide She is now travelling with her

WHO KNOWST
By JOHN IDLEWooD.

A kindly, pleasant, gentle face,
And tender, loving, glowing eyes,
A rounded form of wondrOus grace.
Carved by the Artist of the skies;
A witching voice that tells tale
of nothing which could speak of sin;
But, mortal, who can pierce the veil
Which hides the soul that dwells within7
Cold, stern and pale, with sGnken eyes
And hollow mNuTnful, grinding voice,
Which causes wonder and surprise
That such a being can rejoice;
A face whose features surely give
The thought that il is void of win,
But who shall know while we may live
The throbbing heart that burns withInf
1t matters not how fair the face,
Or ii the voice be soft and low,
And trained to grace the royal place
Instruction opens in its fow,
So pure and true within the breast
Beats fond heart that truth can win,
To tell to Him that knOweth best
The lOngings Of the soul within.

English and American Farming.

A London paper gives an interesting
and very careful comparison between
English and American farming In
England, one acre yields ON an average
thirty bushels of wheat, while In America
It yields oman average only thirteen. The
American farmer must consequently cul-
tivate two and half acres In order to
produce the same quantity of wheat as
The English farmer raises in one acre
How is it, then, that the American far
mer can, nevertheless, not only compete
with the English farmer, buteven beat him
in his own market? The answer which
first presents itself to this question is
the enormous difference of rent in Eng
land and American, but this difference
is nearly, if not <ogether, obliterated
by the cost of transportation from the
western fields TO the English market
The real advantage which the American
farmer has over the English lies IN the
cheapness of cultivation. While the
American soil needs little if any
manure at all, In order to yield an av-
erage harvest year after year, the English
farmer must apply heavy quantity of
costly artificial manure to the soil every
wear, IL he expects to have an averag"
Weld, and a similar cheapness reappears
at nearly every point of the cultivation,
except that of labor. In the settlement
along the Red River, III Northern Minnie
sofa, a plow may run through the soft
alluYial soil for miles in straight line
without encountering a stone, tree, or
n hill. a feature to which England does
not offer the faintest approach.

Sims Reeves, the Tenor.

The famous English tenor, Sims
Reeves, say the Hour, cOntemplates re-
firing from his profession. As he must
be nearly sixty years old, and is very
rich, the wisdom of such course seems
undeniable, though he is still without
rival in OratOrio singing About fifteen
years ago his voice deterlorated consider
ably, but soon regained its power 1t is
an open secret amongst the profession
that he is obliged TO have all his songs
transposed a couple of tones lower than
he used to sing them.
Sims Reeves was, curiously enough,
both idOlized and hated by the English
public. To account for this, it must be
borne in mind that he could never be de-
pended upon to fulfill his engagements.
This gave n start to- all sorts of stories
about his being a confirmed drrnkard
But they were utterly untrue, as the fact
that he has retained his voice to his pres
ent age ccnclus1vely proves. The truth
is that his throat was always most deli
cate; simple journey by rail was often
sufficient to make him "as hoarse as a
crow. In the height of summer he edidnOt
dare to walk across HYDE Park without as
many wraps around his neck as an or
binary man would wear with the ther-
mometer below zero.
Reeves was a native of WOOlwich, and
as boy attracted the attention of the
officers of the garrison by his musical
talent. He began his career as a bari
tone, and the real register of his voice
was not discovered for some time. Even
in those days his throat was susceptible
TO cold and fatigue, and after any severe
exertion he was liable to spit blood
Much of his subsequent success was due
to the care taken of him by his wife, who
sacrificed her own musical career for the
sake of looking after that of her husband.
She took as much care of him as trainer
does of the favoite for the Derby, and
during years and years waited for him
behind the scenes with beef tea, gargles
and other restoratives. The report about
Reeves's habits of intoxication arose
from his fondness for beef tea. He
was accustomed to carry about with him
u pocket flask of that nutritious but IN
sipid beverage, and persons seeing him
constantly interviewing the little bottle
jumped at the conclusion that it con-
tanned brandy.

The Anntnmt Of an Htstnr.

Every oyster has mouth, heart, a
liver, stomach, cunningly-devised in
testlnes, and other necessary organs.
Just as all living, moving, and Intelligent
creatures have. And all these things are
covered from mans rudely-inquisitive
gaze by a mantle of pearly gat1Ee, whose
woof and warp puts TO shame the frost
lace on your windows in winter. The
mouth is at the smaller end of the oyster
adjoining the hinge. It is of oval shape,
and, though not readily seen by an un-
practlced eye, its location and size can be
easily discovered by gently pushing a
blunt bOdkin, or similar instrument
along the surface Of the locality men
toned When the spot is found vour
bodkin can be thrust between the deli
cate lips and q considerable distance
down toward the stomach without caus
ing the oyster any pain. From this
mouth Is, of course, q Sort of canal to
convey food to the stomach, whence it
passes into the intestines. With an ex-
ceedingly delicate and sharp knife YOU
can take off the mantle" of the oyster,
when there viii be disclosed to YOU a
half-moOn shaped space, Just above the
muscle, or so-called ''heart. +" This space
Is the oysters pericardium, and within it
IS the real heart, the puIsations of which
are readily seen. This heart is made up
Of two parts, Just as the human heart is,
one of which receives the blood from the
gills through the network of blood YES
sells, and the other drives the blood out
through the arteries In this important
matter the oyster differs in no respect
from other warm or cold-blooded ami
mails. And no one need laugh incredu-
lously at the assertion that oysters have
blood, but it is, nevertheless, blood to all
oyster intents and purposes.
In the same vicinity, and In marvel
oUsly proper positions, will be found all
the other organs named. But it is very
proper to be incredulous about this mouth
and organs fact, At first glance it would
seem that they are utterly useless, for
the mouth cannot snap around after
food, and the oyster has no arms where
with to grab its dinner or lunch. True,
apparently, but only apparently, for
each oyster has more than a thousand
arms, tiny, delicate, almost invisible.
But each of them Is incessantly at work
gathering up food and gently pushing it
into the lazy mouth of the indolently
comfortable creature. The gills are the
thin flaps so notably perceptible around
the front face part of the undressed uys-
ter, below the muscle.
Each of these gills is covered with mi
mute hair-like arms, very close together,
md perpetually in motion TO and fro in
ne same Unwearied directions. They
catch food from the wRter, strain it care
fully OF improper substances, and watt It |
