A. p BENNETT, the proprietor of
the celebrated private creamery at
Linneus, Aroostook county, Maine,
made four and half tons of butter
during the past year. The success at
tending his efforts is an evidence of
what may be secured by special effort
directed to a special purpose.

Meals in Brazil.

A traveller in Brazil writes: "Outside
of few houses and hotels in Rio, Brazil
ians eat the same kind of food at every
meal. There are usually placed on the
table, either at breakfast or dinner, a
dish of boiled pork, chiefly fat; dish
of scraps of meat stewed in pork fat,
sometimes another dish of stewed scraps
with a sort of jam and cabbage; some
times chicken, at first boiled In water
and afterward stewed in pork fat; a
dish of black beans stewed in pork fat;
a dish of maize, dried and powdered; a
dish of rice boiled in pork fat ;and some
times dish of powdered mandioca root.
! There is no bread; there are no vege-
tables of any kind except the cabbage,
black beans and yam root; there is no
salad; there are no condiment or herbs
in the cooking, not even black pepper,
unless especially requested there is no
cruet stand; there are no spices, no
sauces. there is no mutton, no veal;
there are no joints of beef, no beefsteaks,
recognizable portion of bullock or sheep;
nothing but mangled pieces of lean,
stringy and f1abby meat stewed in pork
fat. There is no fresh fish, there is no
dried fish, such as mackerel, halibut, cod
or salmon; there are no omelets, pan
cakes, corn cakes, pies, puddings, or, in
deed, anything else but what are men
toned above. 1t isan unwearying round
of pork fat, black beans and rice or
mealio. These viands are eaten by mix
ing portion of each in the plate, stirring
up the mess until it has every appearance
of food, loading up the knife with it
we'll down to the handle, and thrusting
the blade into the throat until it can go
no further.
"There are no spoons or forks for the
dishes. Each man or woman sticks his
own knife into the dish. Knives are
never cleaned on a board, only with q
! dish cloth. The kitchen rarely has o
| flooring; never range, stove or oven,
and never a chimney. The floor is of
earth; the cooking apparatus consists of
two rows of mud bricks straddled by a
tile and furnished with few earthen
pipkins; and the chimney is the whole
room. There is no frying pan, no grid
iron, no soup pot, no kitcheners. 1t is
impossible to roast, to bake, to fry or To
broil. Food can only be boiled or stewed,
The fuel is sticks Of timber ten to fifteen
feet long, gradually showed into the fire as
the ends burn off. 1t is impossible 70
heat fiat iron. Clothes are ironed with
a hollow iron filled with hot wood ashes.
There is no running water; there are no
pipes conducting water into the house.
Water is brought in jars on the heads of
degraded looking women. Europe in
the middle ages was paradise compared
to Brazil of to-day, if personal comfort,
clothing, food, cooking, means of com
munication and the habits of the people
resulting from these circumstances be
taken as the gauges of comparison"

Rip Animals.

Take the gigantic moa of New Zea-
land, that c1oTmous bird who was to
the ostrich as the giraffe is to the ante
lope; a monstrous emu, as far surprising
the ostriches of to-day as the ostriches
surpass all the other fowls of the air.
Yet the moa, though now extinct, is In
the strictest sense quite modern, con-
temporary very likely of Queen Eliza.
beth or Queen Anne, exterminated by
the Maoris only very little time be-
fore the first white settlements in the
great southern archipelago. 1t is
even doubtful whether the moa
did not live down to the days of
the earliest colonists, for remains of
Maori encampmeuts are still discovered,
with the ashes of the fireplace even now
unscattered and the close-gnawed bones
of the gigantic bird lying in the very
spot where the natives left them after
their destructive feasts. So, too, with
the big sharks. Our modern carcharo-
don, who runs to 40 feet in length, is a
very respectable monster indeed, as
times go; and his huge swapping teeth,
which measure nearly inches long by
II broad, would disdain to make two
bites of the able-bodied British seamen.
But the naturalists of the challenger
expedition dredged up from the ooze
of the Pacific similar teeth. 8 inches long
by wide, so that the sharks to
which they originally belonged must,
by parity of reasoning, have
measured nearly 100 feet in
length. This, no doubt, beats
our biggest existing shark, the rhinodon,
by some thirty feet Still, the ooze OF
the Pacific is quite recent or almost
modern deposit, which is even now be-
ing accumulated on the sea bottom,
and there would be really nothing aston
ishing in the discovery that some repre-.
sentatives Of the colossal carcharodons
are to this day swimming about at their
lOrdly leisure among the coral reefs ol
the South Sea islands. That very
cautious naturalist, DR.. Gunther, of the
British museum, contents himself indeed
by merely saying; GAS we have nc
record of living individuals of that bulk
having been observed, the gigantic
species to which these teeth belonged
must probably have become extinct with
in comparatively recent period. Corn

the mantel, nor sit with folded arms and
knitted brows. They just sit carelessly
and easily at a table like other folks,
toying with penholders, tearing scraps
of paper, OF drumming on their port
folios.
There is no set form in which the coun-
ellis begin or continue. The subjects
discussed suggest themselves. Opinions
are passed all around the boards, and
nearly every member has something to
add to the common fund of information.
The President has always two or three
vexatious questions on hand to submit to
his councillors.
The political history of the past half
century is full of quarrels and dissensions
in the cabinets of various Presidents, but
these outbreaks, as a rule, have not oc-
Cured at stated meetings of the cabi-
net. There have been instances where
members became so hostile to one an
other that one or the other would stay
away from cabinet meetings, and many
cases where personal relations were so
strained that only icy formalities were
passed by way of greeting; but as a
whole the sessions of the Presidents with
their advisers have been pleasant and
without remarkable incident.-NeD Yor6

A PRESIDENTS ADVISERS.
a LOOK AT A CABINET AS 1T AP-
PEARS WHEN IN SESSION.

The Cabinet Room I'm tho White
House-What IL Done at n Cabinet
Meeting.
President Cleveland changed one of
the cabinet days from Friday to Thurs
day, and now meets his constitutional
advisers on Tuesday and Thursday of
each week. This is the only change
that has been made. The forms that
have been observed for half a century
and more on cabinet days are still undis-
turbed. The hour of meeting is 12
o'clock noon, and the room is the same
that has been used for the meetings
since Lincoln's time. 1t is the room i'm
mediately at the head of the stairs lead
ing to the business part of the White
House. On the right as you enter is the
door leading to the library, where the
President receives his visitors, and on
the left is the private secretary's office, to
reach which you have to climb two or
three steps.
The cabinet room is open to visitors at
all times when the cabinet is not in ses-
sion. 1t is plain room with no strik-
ing feature about il. Its two large win
dows, extending from ceiling to floor,
command lovely view of the sweeping
lawns, the monument and the shining
Potomac beyond. The interior is simplici-
ty itself. The walls are painted in drab
tint, the ceiling is frescoed with flowers
and cherubs, and mantel of cinnamon
colored marble surrounds a capacious
fireplace, where hickory logs are usually
blazing cheerily. A lowered Brussels
carpet with black and red background
covers the floor, and gray silk rep cur
tains hang at the windows. Between the
windows hangs an oil portrait of John
Hampden, label on which informs us
that it is reputed to be Vandyck. On
the opposite wall is portrait of Wash
ington, by Cadena, the South American
artist, which was presented to the gov
ernment in Hayes time. A large birds
eye view photograph of the city is over
the door leading to the Presidents room.
Maps of the United States and of South
America and Washington hang on the
remaining walls. In one corner stands
a large school globe, and in another is
revolving bookcase of modern inven-
tion, which is filed with revised stat
utes, dictionaries, and various public
documents. Near the door to the Presi-
dents room stands a small walnut secre-
tary, and near the windows a small wal
nut table to match. The lounge near
the door leading to the hall and the
dozen chairs distributed about the room
are of walnut upholstered with howered
raw silk to match the carpet.
The table around which the cabinet is
seated is an octagonal affair of black and
French walnut in the fashion of twenty
years ago. 1t has profusely carved
central leg and legs at the corners. 1t
is covered with billiard cloth. The
eight armchairs that surround it are ell
alike, of walnut with rep upholstering.
The cabinet looks like this when it is in
session around the table:

P. N. General

Very little formality attends the meet
ings. The members generally come
singly, rarely in pairs. Each always car
ries under his arm a portfolio such as
lawyers use for papers, only the cabinet
portfolios are more antiquated than
those affected by lawyers-as old proba-
bly, as Senator Evarts' hat. The cabinet
portfolio is thing of calfskin, about
24x20 inches. 1t has single pocket
covered by flap. II has no lock, but
is fastened by two Straps and buckles.
Some of these portfolios are probably a
hundred years old, and the greater num-
Der have seen from a quarter to half a
century. The newest is exactly like the
oldest in pattern, and each is lettered
with a stencil to indicate to what de-
partment it belongs.
Each member of the cabinet shakes
hands with all the others when he ar
rives. The President usually comes in
after nearly all his counselors have ar
rived. He shakes hands with them all
around and chats with tenn ior a mo-
ment. and then takes his seat at the head
of the liable, his advisers taking their
places in the order indicated IN the dia-
gram. The session begins at IL o'clock
exactly, whether the members have all
arrived or not. The President does not
rap the meeting to order, and it IS wholly
informal throughout. No vote is taken
on any question. If the President wants
the individual opinion of his advisers on
any subject, he asks for it, but he de-
cides the question in his own way, with
out regard to whether a majority of his
advisers is for or against his views. No
minutes are kept of cabinet meetings,
and, as no reporters are present, the pro-
ceedings are never given in detail. An
ex-cabinet official says the public loses
little by the observance of secrecy, fOI
the talk is discursiye and fragmentary
and would not be read if published.
Nevertheless all necessary precautions
are taken to prevent the proceedings Of
cabinet meetings from being overheard,
and full report of one has not beer
published since the days when Webster
was secretary of state. An enterprising
correspondent of that day in some way
contriyed TO get into an adjoining room,
where he could oYeThear every word
Mr.. Webster himself discovered the leak
after several meetings had been reported
and ever since the rooms have been care
fully watched.
Imagine what eight bank directors Of
an equal number Of asylum trustees OF
pretty good terms with one another
would do if shut up in back room
away from public gaze, and some notion
probably can be formed Of what cabi
net meeting is like. All the picture
that are made of cabinet groups are ab
surdities. The secretaries do not stanc
in tragic attitudes with hands thrust IA
the breasts Of close e-buttoned coats, no
do they stand with an elbow resting 81
