The Art Of Dining.

The two dinners which stand out in
memory as events IN our life were of
very different characters. The one con-
sisted of brown bread and lard, washed
down with some rough country wine,
and was eaten in the middle of a Tyro-
lese glacier. The other embraced every
1elicacy the heart could wish. Our ap-
Peciation of the first was due to COM
prlsory fasting for some time previously.
Our appreciation of the second was due
to IT'S intrinsic merit. In il the dishes
seemed to be so arranged that each one
stinasAlsAea the PeiatO fVI NO Os.~ Ah-t
succeeded it, and the wines given with
each course were so selected as to in
crease the appetite for, and appreciation
of, the solids. We then, for the first
time in our life, began to realize that
cookery WAS fine art. In speaking of
the fine arts we generally include only
those which appeal to the special senses
of sight and hearing, such as sculpture,
painting, architecture, music, and we
rarely think of appealing to the special
senses of smell and taste. Yet the lat
ter two are perhaps quite as closely con.
nected with our emotions as the former,
and as capable of exciting keen sensa-
tions Of pain and pleasure. Smell and
taste differ from sight and hearing in
being much more easily fatigued, and
this may partly be the cause of their
imperfect cultivation. Another cause
is, perhaps, the closer connection which
taste and smell have with nutrition, and
the consequent alterations which re-
peated impressions upon them may have
upon the general well-being. A man
may pass long hours in a picture gallery
or concert room, receiving good, bad or
Indifferent food without much effect upon
digestion or circulation, but bad odor
would quickly excite nassau or SICKNESS.
The impressionable natures of southern
Italy object to strong perfumes, even
though pleasant. The sense of taste
differs in one particular from the other
three-viz., that the agents which excite
them may remain outside the body, and
thus have an action upon it independ-
emily of their mere effects upon the
sense itself In gratifying this sense,
therefore, we have to consider, not
merely what will give the greatest pleas
ure at the moment, but what will be
most satisfactory in it's after results.
Fortunately, pleasure to the palate gen.
orally aids digestion, if obtained in the
proper way; but comparatively few
people know the art of dining properly
themselves, and still fewer know how to
give good dinners to their friends

A cute Celestial.

Recently in Butte, where Cinnamon
play at faro a good deal, mlld-man-
nered heathen slid into a faro game, and
after losing a few dollars pulled out
little package of gold dust and laid 1T on
the ace. The ace lost, and the dealer,
picking ND the package, unfolded 1T and
weighed out the dust, which was $oO
worth. He was about to cast the paper
aside when the Celestial mot1oned to 1t
and asked that it might be given back
as it had some washing accounts on 1t.
The paper was returned and the next
night he was there again, betting $50 IN
gold dust as before. He put his pack
age carefully on the ace and won The
dealer handed out $50 and the China
man shook his head.
What's the matter, John 2"
"You payee alice I bet. One hun
dred fifty dollar.
The dealer laughed contemptuously,
but the hesthen, unrolling the package,
showed 800 bill laid in between the
double piece of paper which contained
the dust.
The dealer looked very cheap, but the
Chinaman never moved muscle. He
acted as if it was the regular thing to
keep 800 greenback folded up In his
gold-dust packages.
"Payit," said the lookout man. "He's
got us dead.
The same bill was in the paper the
night before, but the dealer had handed
it back, thinking it wash bill. But of
course this wasn't the Chinaman's fault.

The Alhamhra.

The Alhambra, the ancient fortress
and residence of the Moorish Monarchs
of Granada, rests on a hill overlooking
the city of Granada on the north. The
name signifies, in Arabic, "the red, :"
and is derived from the color of the sun
dried bricks, made of fine gravel and
clay, of which the outer walls are built.
The Alhambra was erected at various
times, chiefly between 124S and 1854,
under the reign of Ibul-Ahmar, or Ibu-
al-Amar (as it is sometimes written}, and
his successors. To Yusuf L are ascribed
the splendid decorations, and in particu-
lar the exquisite painting of the interior.
The hilly terrace on which the Alhambra
stands is about ?, 430 feet in length, and
at the widest part GA feet in breadth. A
strongly fortified wall, fanked by thir-
teen square towers, incloses an area of
about thirty acres, within which the
palace was built Washington Irving's
pen has finely illustrated the Alhambra,
and what he has written should be read
in this connection.

Dancing in Madagascar.

Just after sunset, and while was still
discussing my dinner, the tum-tums be-
gan to beat, and soon the clear space In
the middle of the town presented an ami
mated appearance. A sort of illumination
was attempted by means OF cocoa-nuts
filed with bullock's fat, but they did not
give much light and smelled very disa-
greeably. Mats had been placed under
the old tamarind tree for the King and
myself, and on repairing thlther found
His Majesty already arrived. The peo-
pie soon formed up for dance. 1t was
a very curious sight, and l never before
saw any native dance quite like it. They
all formed IN a circle, and sang, appar-
emily, a verse of a song. They then
went in turns into the center of the ring
and danced wildly round, fourishing
their spears and singing, and then they
all Joined in a sort of chorus. / fancy
the solo singing was oxtempore. The
women did not take part in this dance,
but all sat together and beat time with
their hands, and then at the finish they
came forward with calahashes full of
rum and presented them to the men.
They danced the same dance three or
four times, never emitting the rum at
the end. His Majesty kept pressing me
also to drink, and had to take far more
O. it than / wanted. The women now
cane forward and danced, the dance
conusting of swinging the body back
ward and forward, all the time singing
plaintEe sort of melody. could not
help thinking how well the words from
Les Cloches de COTneUiIle-" Just look
at that, &c.-would have suited the ac-
ton. They looked very picturesque
with their bright-colored lanabds and
wlld-looking heads. They have long,
woolly hair, which they make stick out
from the head in little knobs. After the
women had been dancing thus for some
lime (the men sitting down and beating
tme), man most grotesquely painted
jumped in between them and danced
few times up and down the middle then
the women screamed and ran away, and
the men, jumping up and brandishing
their spears IN the most threatening
manner, rushed forward as if to attack
the newcomer. He at once bolted down
the street. 1 afterward found out that
he represented tolo (ghost), come to
carry off one of the women. After he
had disappeared there was general
dancs of rejoicing, in which both men
and women joined, and after that more

that it vas very early, but gave me leave

From the foregoing table it Will be
seen that the only considerable increase
in the number of small farms between
1870 and 1880 was in the States of Ohio
and Pennsylvania in the North and Ala
bama, Maryland, North Carolina and
Virginia in the South. There was fall
ing off of over 10000 in the number of
small farms (twenty acres and under)
in Missouri and OF 2,748 in Michigan.
The greatest falling off was in these two
States. Wisconsin, Indiana and Kan
sas follow In order.
The census report is incomplete in
this, that it does not indicate clearly
whether this is the result of extending
clearings or absorption of small hold
ings. There is in all new counties a
first tendency to increase the acreage of
each farm, after that follows division
and cutting up into smaller holding
Apparently both processes are now going
ON simultaneously, but the increased
number of land owners in the country
indicates the disappearance of small
farms in some States is not caused by
freezing out the small holders.

A Very Wise Bird.

A black vulture, known as the galli-
nazo, is very familiar object on the
Isthmus Of Panama. One sees it every
where, perched on heaps of refuse or
employed in its great service of cleaning
the streets by removing the carrion.
The gallInazo is of a uniform black, but
its head and neck are entirely devoid OF
feathers. The inhabitants of Panama
have reason to give for this badness.
At one time, they say, the gallinazo had
feathers on Its head. After the deluge,
Noah, on opening the door of the ark,
thought il web to give word of advice
to the released animals.
"My children" said he, "when you
see man coming toward you and
STOPPING down, get away from him he
is getting good stone to throw at you. I"
"very good, exclaimed the gallinazo,
"but what il he have one already in

Noah was somewhat taken aback at
the reply, and decided that in future
the gallinazo should be born bald in
token of its remarkable sagacity.

A Real Cinderella.

A Paris journal has discovered real
Cinderella In the person of the wife of an
English millionaire, whose name he with
holds, from delicacy or other causes.
About fifteen years ago the painter He
bert was executing his fine portrait of
the Duchess of Noailles. He was work
ing at the time upon an exquisite genre
picture. in whose progress the Duchess
took great interest. 1t represented a
young Italian girl of extraordinary
loneliness. One day the Duchess said
to the artist:
"It is impossible that such face
should be a mere painters ideal. The
original must sometimes come into your
studio. 1 should like to see her."
The lady was so charmed with the
girl that she said to the painter:
elf the rich give so much money to
hang up q copy upon their walls, what
an ornament the original would be for
any salon"
The thought which she had thus struck
out seems to have fascinated her, and
when the picture of the beautiful italian
girl had found its way into Baron Roths-
child's collection at Ferrieres, theDuchess
took the girl herself, adopted her, snd
gave her the best education. Her parents
were respectable, but poor, ana Bladly
yielded up their daughter to the splendid
social future which the amiable Duchess
engaged to provide for her. Hebert's
picture perished in the flames during
the fire at the Chateau of Ferrieres, in
1873. but the original had developed
into a woman of wonderful beauty.
Her guardian kept jealous eye upon
her numerous admirers, determining
that if her Cinderella did not become q
Princess she should marry into family
of high social distinction. Meanwhile
an Englishman of very great wealth,
who was visiting the House of Noailles
not only fell deeply in love with the
beautiful ward, but gained her heart
Although he was not a noble, he was q
millionaire. The Duchess consented at
last to favor his suit, and the English
suitor carried of the italian Cinderella
as his wife.
