Morphine Parties in Paris.
fParis Letter tn London Trr1th


| hear of morphine parties of the
simultaneously kind in the higher
couches sociales. Those invited to
such little gatherings are known to
the hostess as being in the habit of re-
sisting ills to which flesh is heir by
simultaneous injections of the mar
cotic above named. The injection is
performed with a little instrument,
the manufacture of which is passing
from the surgical-instrument maker to
the jeweler, and is becoming an objet
dart. Guests and the lady of the
house sit in a circle and listen to aeon
cert in a distant room. They describe
their sensations to each other. Nov
ices deriv peculiar beauty from the
morphinizing process. One sees in
many OF the portraits at the Mirliton
the traces of morphine in the general
morbidezza of the faces and the
brownish circles that surround eyes
which are at once brilliant and softly
languishing. It may be remembered
that the late Duchesse de Chaulnes
killed herself with simultaneous injec-
tions of morphine She resorted to
them to soothe the irritated nerves
and vary her undoubted beauty and
had to continue them because it be-
came impossible for her to leave them
off. know of a confirmed morphio-
maniac who would not for the world
eat two kinds of meat on the same
day in Lent or indulge in the pleasure
of a waltz. The Archbishop of Paris
will, take it, soon issue a pastoral
against the fashionable narcotic.
What Killed President Harrison.
From the Baltimore Herald.l
There's President Harrison, who
died so soon after he got into the
White House. They all say he died
from excitement, nervous prostra-
ton, and all that. But the man
who waited on him said he died from
too much dinner. "He had been in
the White House but few days when
he told the waiter he had brought
from Indiana to get him up what he
called a regular old-fashioned North
Bend dinner. That was Mr.. Harri-
sons home in Indiana, and his order
meant cabbage, picked pork, fresh
roast pork, peas, cucumbers, and
sweet potatoes, with cOrn-mealf ritters
for dessert. 'That was on day that
Mr.. Webster had long talk with him.
Mr.. Webster was in his cabinet, and he
said: Harrison, if these Office seekers
don't kill you that dinner WILL Well,
sir, he never saw we'll moment after
that dinner. He had Indigestion, head
aches, and swimming in the head, and
L L IL L
died. It might have been something
else, but believe it was that dinner
that caused his DEATH"

Making Cows Give Milk.

A writer in the Southern Farmer
says that his COW gives all the milk
that is wanted in family OF eight,
and that from it, after taking all that
is required for other purposes, 26O
pounds of butter were made last year.
This is in part his treatment OF the
COW. eff you desire to get a large
yield of rich milk give your COWS every
day water slightly warmed and slight
ly sailed, in which bran has been
stirred at the rate OF one quart to
two gallons of water. You will find, if
you try this daily practice, that your
COW will give 25 per cent. more milk
Immediately under the effects of it,
and will become so attached to the
diet as to refuse to drink clear water
unless very thirsty. But this mess
she will drink almost any time and
ask for more. The amount of this
drink necessary is an ordinary water
pail at a time-morning, noon and
night.

Paw Cash for Goods,

The farmers in former years hap
great complaints against the mer-
chants on account ofexcessive charges
for goods. Grange stores were the
rage, and the remembrance of them is
not now very pleasant. In an article
on this subject the Iowa Homestead
says: There was a much better wav,
and the farmers see it now. That was
to pay cash. For cash is a. great lev
eler of prices. The merchant was
glad to come down like little man
when his eyes caught thegleam OF gold.
There ought to no such thing as credit
at the store for the farmer. There is
no class of men the merchants can
credit more safely. What we mean is,
the farmer should not ask it; in fact
he cannot afford to askit. For credit
means a higher price, a price to cover
interest and risk, and the good farmer
who asks credit simply asks to share
the losses of themerchant on poor GUS
toners, and he always doesit. So that
the one short and easy way to settle
the difficulty between the farmer and
the merchant, is for thefarmer to pay
cash and make the merchant his life
long friend. The farmer now COM
plains against the freight agent. There
is a way to settle with him. If he
charges you too much on corn, feed
your corn. You will thus condense
freight, and instead ofhaulinga ton he
will haul but 500 pounds. If he put
up the tariff on stock, that will encour-
age packing-houses in our cities, and
the railroad will haul l 90 miles instead
of 500. Furthermore, if the railroad
buys up your governor, or your sena-
tor or representative, you canget your
little votes ready, and the next time
take off his political head. Whenever
the farmers get down to this business
in earnest there will be less cause of
complaint.

Within our own recollection, says a
writer in the New England Farmer, all
the hay used in the cities was carried
in teams from the surrounding farm
ing country, now there is more baled
hay going from the cities to the coun-
try than country hay carried in.
Formerly farmers in Eastern Massa-
chusetts reckoned hay worth from So
to SIS less per ton at the farm than in
market, but now the difference is the
other way. The farm has become to
a considerable extent, the consuming
market for the city hay trade. The
country villages are very largely SO.

Elegance Without Knives and Forks.

from the Theological Review.
1t is true that the nobility ofold ate
with their fingers and in large halls
filled with mixed company, but
there was an elegance of manners then
as now, regulated quite as much by
fashion and by established rules Of
fixed breeding Frequent washings be-
fore. after and also during meal pre-
served a scrupulous cleanliness, and
If the fingers we're sometimes stained a.
saffron hue, owing to thenature of the
popular condiment, they were at
least free from dirt, for the etiquette
of the higher classes demanded the
most delicate management in the
handling OF food and the greatest pos
slole avoidance Of soiling the hands
with it. Even the custom of washing
was surrounded by that elegance which
belonged to all their habits of life.
