I. w. Higginson, in Harper's for July.
For the socinl life of Washington the
President had n advantage which was
altogether unexpected, and seemed diff
ticult of explanation by anything in his
earlier career. He had at his command
the most courteous and agreeable man
ners. Even before the election of Adams
Daniel Webster had written to his broth
er: General Jackson's manners are
better than those Of any Of the
candidates. He is grave, mild, and
reserved. Ny wife is for him decided
ly.p And long after, when the presi-
dent was to pass in review before those
who were perhaps his most implacaLle
opponents, the ladies of Boston, we
have the testimony of the late Josiah
Quincy, in his Figures from the
Past" and the personal bearing of this
obnoxious official was most unwfllingly
approved. Nh. Quincy was detailed by
Gov. Lincoln, OF whose military staff
he was, to attend President jackson
everywhere when visiting Boston in
1888; and this narrator testifies that.
with every prejudice against Jack
son, he found him essentially
"a knightly personage-prejudiced
points, it might be, but vigorously a
gentleman in his high sense of honor
and in the natural straightforward
courtesies which are easily distinguished
from the veneer of policy" Sitting
erect on his horse, . thin stiff type of
military strength, he crrried with him
in the streets q bearing Of such dignity
that staid old Bostonians who had re-
fused sven to look upon him from their
windows would finally be coaxed into
taking one peep, and would chen hur-
riedly bring forward their little daught-
ers to wave their h~andkerchiefs. He

great consideration for others, and

iscences that the president was not mere
II the mi OF wit in others but now
and then appreciated it himself, and
that he used to listen with delight to
the reading Of the Jack Downing" let
tiers, laughing heartily sometimes, and
declaring, "The Vice President must
have written that. Depend upon it,
Jack Downing is only Van Buren, in
masquerade" It is q curious fact that
the ~satirist is already the better remem-
bered Of the two, although Van Buren,
was in his day SO powerful as to preside
over the official patronageo of the Nation.
and to be called the Little Mag

There is sometimes a family in which
the father and mother know how to en-
Joy life sensibly in its hours OF play or
rest, and around them grow up boys
and girls fit to live, fit to do all the du-
ties of life, fit to make their own lives
happy and useful. From childhood
they have known that life is surrounded
by thousands of wonders. whether of
mans making OF of Gods creation.
Nature and art alike furnish them with
sources Of acknowledge and pleasure. You
don't see those children dwadling
around hotel drawing rooms
when the family are travelling.
The boys go fishing and the girls
go hunting flowers, or both may go to-

and pleasant countenance Of o 17-year
old girl, who had cone near. She had
the same curiosity about the flower
which / had. Then for awhile she and
her brother Tom rambled along with
me. They We're out for E walk. That
to them meant keen enjoyment Of pretty
much all they saw. Trees, flowers, an
imals, the very skies and clouds were

servation to them. She caught half a
dozen lizards as we walked along,
handled them gently, examined them
carefully and let them go un-
harmed. He talked of the fishing.
He had seen me going orr coming in.
He knew all about the fishing in his
own part of the country, and q good
deal about the habits of the fish. The
two, brother and sister, discussed, one
with another, the flowers and animals.
Clearly they had been brought upsfrom
childhood to take a keen interest in the
ordinary environments of a country
life. And l was not surprised, when
she caught sight of an engraved gem
in my ring, to find that, at II she, and
at Is he, knew enough about ant to talk

Current Notes.

The Tampa (Fla.) Tribune tells the
biggest hail story IN record. 1t is to
tho effect that in the northern part of
the county, three weeks ago, hail
fell to the depth Of five inches on a
level and remained upon the ground
over fifteen hours. The hailstones
were as large as a hens egg, and where
they struck the pine trees the bark was
cut through and the turpentine is now
running from the wounds.
Two new Cunarders are now being
built. These vessels are expected to
beat any vessel afioat, and have engines
far larger than any hitherto built, one
single crank weighing no less than
twenty-seven tons; the boilers will have
seyenty-two furnaces, and the speed is
expected to eclipse even that OF the
Oregon, which vessel did the distance
from Queenstown to Liverpool in eleven
hours on her last trip homeward.
1t is said hat Spain will order this
year an iron-clad of from S,OOOto 5000
tons and carrying fifty-ton guns in re-
volving turrets, if the necessary money
can be raised. The Madrid cores

How to Keep June Butter for winter Use.

How to Keep Tune Butter for Winter Use.
VIM. f. Morris, of De Kalb Co., Ill,
writes to the Rural New Yorker: It is
a fact we'll conceded by all good judges
of butter, that butter made in June is
better favored than that made in any of
the eleven other months. 1t is, there
fore, very important that every one
should. know how to keep the June
product for winter use. Here is one
way:-Pack the butter solidly in stone
crooks to within an inch of the top, lev
ell it, and cut a piece of white muslin
and spread it over the top; then fill to
the top with common salt. Dig q hole
in the ground on the north side of some
building, or in the shade OF some tree
or, if this is i~nconvenient, the garden
will do; let it be deep enough, so that
when the crock is covered, the earth on
top Of it will be not less than Is inches
thick. In this hole place the crock
over it put something that will turn off
the water if any teaches down to it. An
old tin pan turned over makes n good
cover. Pack on the earth, leaving it
rounding, like an ant-hill, to carry off the
surface water. Ifthis work is done in the
garden, plant over the top a tomato vine,
or a few beans, or anything, to shade
and keep away the torrid rays Of the
sun. The work is then finished, until
one wishes to take out butter any time
before severe frost. This method I will
warrant to keep butter perfectly sweet
until winter, if proper car is taken.
An old acquaintance of mine tells me
he has praticed this plan for years, and
when he lived on the farm he used to
take up his butter in November, and
sell it for 40 cents per pound, whereas
if it had been disposed of when made,
he could not have realized more than
Is cents. This is also a good way to keep
canned fruit during the summer, if one
has not q proper place for the purpose.
Put the cans in a box and bury it as tile
above, if canned in glass.

Grapes in Fever.

DR.. Hartsen of Cannes recommends
grapes as a valuable diet in fever. The
grapes contain a considerable amount of
hydro-carbonaceous matter, together
with a certain quantity of potassium
salts, a combination which does not IT.
%ritate, but. on the contrary, soothes the
stomach, and consequently is used with
advantage, even in dyspepsia. While
considering the carbohydrates con-
tanned in the grape, W. must not neglect
the organic acids, particularly tartaric
acid. DR.. Hartsen thinks the nourish-
ing influences of these acids too much
neglected. 1t is indeed known that
they are changed to carbonic acid in the
blood, and are e1creted as carbonates in
the urine. Possibly carefule research
might show that, under some ,circum-
stances, the organic are changed to fats.
DR.. Harrison believes that the organic
acids should be ranked with the car
bo-hydrates as foods. When fresh
grapes are not to be had, raisins or di-
luted wine might be used.-Homno-
pathic World.

Erock, Dress end Gown.

From Jennie June's Fashion Letter.
There is talk as to whether frock,
dress or gown is the best word. Dress,
il must be remarked, first, is o more
comprehensive term than frock or gown
and may be used as inclusive. 1t was
generally SO used until within the past
thirty years or the lifetime of the basque.
Fifty years ago o woman's dress was in
II piece and was called o gown; the
girls dress q frock. The loose jacket
and skirt worn by the poorer class
of women about their work was known
as short gown and petticoat. The
jacket was cut straight, not shaped to
the figure and tied and belted in about
the waist. An Independent bodice
known and worn about that time and
subsequently was called a Spencer. 4"
The earliest attempt at a basque con
sisted in adding a short tabled skirt to
this independent waist.
A gown is properly a dress made in
one piece, and the term "tea gown" is
correctly applied to the afternoon tot
lets which are all of apiece, not neglege
enough for wrappers, nor conventional
enough for dinner or evening dress.
Frock is obsolete. 1t was always
better applied to children than to the
dress OF a lady, but the gathered blouse
worn by laborers and cartmen in Eng
lish agricultural districts and known in
their vernacular as the "smock frock"
has been revived for girls and boys Of
late as III apron for in or out of doors
and classed as a"Kate G%reenaway" gar
ment. A long princesse dress open in
front, showing a stitched or ornamented
breadth supposed to be the petticoat,
was a robe" dress. Afterward manu-
facturers called pattern" dresses,
dresses in boxes with founces and trim
ming, "robe" dresses and the distinc-
tive a%ppellation was lost.

Late Lima Beans.

If a good rain occurs this month, put
in another crop of Lima beans. No veget-
able is nor popular, and they are suit
able for all classes of persons, as well as
all manner of dishes. The difficulty
with them, as we mentioned before, is
the poles, which are sometimes expen-
sive, but it strings are used, rs is done
for climbing flowers, the vines will grow
and thrive equally as we'll. All that is
necessary to keep them off the ground,
and it is not necessary to pole them if
inconvenient. The late crop should be
a large one, not only for the purpose of
supplying the family witha sufficiency
of green ones for the table, but that they
may be dried and laid aside for winter.
If stored away they are very seryiceable
at that season, as. they may then be
soaked and used for the same purposes
as when they are green.
