The New York EcJliny Post, al.
though formerly very abusive of Vice
President Arthur, has changed its tune
sufficiently to say:
General Arthur is aS different from
Andrew Johnson in temperament and
training as the circl instances of the
country are different from those of
Andrew JohnSon's time. He is man
of education as well rs of affairs, of an
amiable and yielding disposition. and
hence more likely to he imp essed with
the responsibilities of his new station
and the fatality through which it fell
to his lot than person of narrow
mind and headstrong temper would be.
The duty IF the people to him in the
event of President Gar .eld's death will
he no less imperative and binding than
his dutyt to them. He will be entitled
to the forbearance and confidence due
to one who has neither SouGht nor eX-
pected the Presidential office. but who
assumes it in obedience to law anu
under very trying circumstances.

Why We Commence Dinner With Soup.

Why We Commence Dinner With Soup.
The rationale of the initial soup has
often been discussed; some regard it
as calculated to diminish digestive
power, on the theory that SO much fluid
taken at first dilutes the gastric juices.
But there appears to be no foundation
for this belief. A clear soup almost
disappears Immediately after entering
the stomach. and in no way, interferes
with the gastric juice, which is stored
in its appropriate cells ready for action.
The habit of commencing dinner with
soup has, without doubt, its origin in
tie fact, that aliment in this fluid form
lin fact ready digested- enters
the blood and rapidly refreshes the
hungry man, who, after considerable
fast and much activity, sits down with
a sense of exhaustion to commence his
principal meal. In two or three min
utes after he has taken plate of good
warm soup, the feeling Of exhaustion
disappears, and irritability gives way
to the gradual rising sense of good fell
lowship with the circle. Some persons
have the custom of allaying exhaustion
with q glass of sherry before food-a
gastronomic no less than . physiologi-
cal blunder, injuring the stomach and
depraving the palate. The soup intro
duces at once in the system small in
stallment of ready-digested food, and
must be spent by the stomach in deriv-
ing some nutriment from solid aliment,
as well as indirectly strengthening the
organ of digestion itself for its forth
coming duties.-Su Henry Thompson.

Seldom in the history of journalism
has newspaper been issued under
greater difficulties and amid less con-
genial surroundings than the News of

the 100 days siege of Pretoria. The
editor thus describes the conditions UNI
der which the feat was accomplished:
"A bungalow for printing Office, with
canvas thrown over its unfinished roof,

for uniform, composing stick in hand
and his rifle lying suggestively near
his printing frame; the EDITORS quar-
tiers an army bell tent and = transport
wagon, the space between ingeniously
roofedin with battered sail stretched
on telegraph poles; their work, editing
paper by day and on guard up to the
knee in mud at night, or sleeping in q
pair of leather breeches, long boots
and jack-spurs." The forty numbers,
Of four pages each, foolscap size, have

bellished with fourteen Photographic

Calling on . Dead Friend.

Ealing on q Dead Friend
La Fontaine, the French fabulist, was
remarkable for absence of mind. The
following comical anecdote illustrates
this habit: Once upon time, while en-
gagged upon his Fables, he lost, by
death, one of his nearest and dearest
friends; and he not only attended the
funeral, but acted as pail bearer. Az
ter he had given the last Of the copy Of
his compilation to the printer, and had
time on his hands for recreation, he
thought he would call upon . few of
his cherished friends; and the first to
receive his attention was the man
whose funeral he had attended few
weeks previously. He rang ct the
door. and of the porter who answered
the summons he asked to see his mas
ter. The man looked at him in sur.
prise.

Cream Raising Revised.

The agricultural editor of the Clarks-
vile Star says on this subject:
We lately visited the farm of prom
inent farmer in this county where
twenty-six COWS are MIXED and the
cream sold to q creamery, and we found
the usual arrangements of a milk
house. also an underground outdoor
cellar fitted up with water tanks laid
in cement, but of no use. Instead of
these old-fashioned conveniences, we
found long wooden tank for holding
the milk cans. At one end of the tank
was pump, now driven by windmill.
At the further end of the tank waste
pipe ran through to conduct the waste
water to the stock yard. The tank was
fitted with q movable cover to keep out
flies, dust and dirt, and was simply
placed in the dense shade of trees,
leaving free circulation of pure air,
the proprietor claiming better results
from this arrangement than by the old
method of keeping the milk. We have
also talked with other farmers, who by
accident or experiment. have reached
similar conclusions.
We are satisfied that there is yet
much to learn in handling milk for
cream, to attain the best results pos
sible.

De.criptiou 81 Oommon Nuisauce.


It makes no difference to her what
she gushes about; fy's leg answers
for want of an archangel's p1umes. If
it is worth while, so much the better; if
it is not worth while, what she cannot
do in hot blood she can do in cold. All
that is necessary is subject; her volu-
bility can bear it along on torrent of
words. And if she is at all pretty, has
a peachy skin, and radient eyes, and
on occasion q pair of dimples, her
gushing is, in measure, as effective as
she wishes. A man listens to it as to
the twitter of a bird; she half amuses
him; he believes that she believes in it,
and pauses to consider the condition
and state of mind of anybody that can
make so much out Of little. He won
ders then at her innocence, and she be-
gins after that, very likely, to occupy
some space in his thoughts. But a
woman listens to her as to a thing of
idiotic artii1ce; she knows that, If it is
not gotten up for effect, it is the result
of an empty head, an abundant vanity
and q weak intellect; she looks at it
as throwing certain discredit on her
sex; she despises the gush and the
gusher. But if the gusher will let the
fountain of her fancies still flow on, it
behooves her to keep ever young and
fair. A single gray thread in her tres
ses will betray her; wrinkle will be
her death warrant. For when she has
ceased to be an alluring picture, to
wear bright face, and there is. it may
be, crack in her musical tones-when
she is middle-aged woman, affecting
youth and innocent freshness of inter-
est and marvel-then the disguise of
her gushing becomes so transparent
that all her trivial art is to be expected.
and the most easily blinded man alive
listens no longer even to her sincerest
raptnres. Perhaps it is because a wo-
man arrived at middle age should have
seen too much Of the heaviness of the
world and sorrows of life. even if not
called upon to bear them herself, to
rave Alphabetically over every note in
the air, and repels by every idea that
she may be sincere in her rhapsodies;
perhaps it is because the loneliness of
flesh covers over q multitude of sins
and makes one forget the skeleton un.
der all the rosiness. What ever it is,
it is certain that while one tolerates and
sometimes admires the young and
blushing starry-eyed creature, the wo-
man who dares to gush after the first
moth-patch darkens her fine complex.

s.That's more I know-where they
come from in the first place. It's most
~ women that give 'em to us. You
see when man gets hold of bad half
dollar he don't feel just like passing it
off himself, so he just gives it to his
wife and don't say anything about it.
And even if she does know the piece is
bad, it doesn't make mite of differ

of the queerest things in the world

world. l often stop and say to myself:
swell, now, what in thunder did she
do that for?'' A woman has no idea of
other peoples rights at all. Sc when
she gets hold of half dollar, she just
naturally passes it off again. Dishon-
est? Why, bless you, no, she doesn't
mean to be dishonest; its just her ma
ture; she can't help it. She don't want
the half dollar-of course she don't
80 there is just one thing to do, and
that is to pass it off on someone else.
But, I tell you, you have to be power
full careful how you treat woman.
Some of 'em want you to help 'em on

touch 'em. So, either way you do,
you're sure to make half of 'em mad.
