How To Eat Grapes.

Millions of people in grape-raising
countries, says Dr.. c. E. Page, eat grapes
as they ought to be eaten, viz, without
any chewing, or skinning, or seeding, or
any nonsense whatever. But thousands
of people have been taught-some to
pinch the pulp into the mouth, discard
ing the skim, others, to dissect out both
the seeds and skin, thus taking a great
deal of pains to prevent the grape FROM
being as wholesome as it is delicious
BY far the most agreeable and satisfac-
tory way to eat grapes, once accustomed
to it, is to bolt them about as fast as
they can be comfortably swallowed,
pressing the grape between the teeth so
as to open up the pulp sufficiently to
give US all the flavor, and to Intricate
the bolus. A little practice will enable
any one to eat them thus, and it is then
the most agreeable, as it is the only
wholesome way. 1t is want of bulk that
makes our food indigestible in many
cases. 1t Is obvious that there is a
double advantage, if this theory be the
correct one, for one pound of grapes
would Ego as far" as two pounds eaten
the other way.-Bostoa Rera q.

A Norwegian Farmhouse.

The first impression of an ordinary
Norwegian farm stealing is not very
favorable. A cluster of houses, small
and aged, crowd around a-larger dwell
ing house, which generally looks some
what dilapidated. But this appearance
is deceptive; for the walls being of wood,
they look old in few years, and become
blotched and scared by the weather. The
roof is of the same material, or, in the
case of the principal building. either of
red tile or slab. Sometimes the dwell
ing house is painted white, when the eff
feet is to relieve the somber aspect of the
group. The walls are usually stout and
thoroughly weatherproof, planks about
four inches thick being used in their con-
struction. These planks are placed edge
wise on one another, crossed and count
ersunk at the angles, and calked in the
seams with dry moss. A skin of thin
wood is placed over the outside, while the
interior is lined smoothly with boards.
Inside, there is an air of comfort and
cleanliness. A table stands in the center
of the chief room, and along the wall Il
bench runs which serves for chairs, OF
which there is usually a deficiency

trained upward to the roof, giving the
room a festive and refreshing look. Not
unfreguently the worthy farmer is proud
to have the dresses of his daughters hung
in conspicuous positions in order that
SWANS who call may see that the dam
sells are well provided with garments in
case of a matrimonial alliance. The
cow-houses are generally an improve
ment on those usually seen in England
and Scotland. The building is larger
and more space is allotted to each ami

narily beneath the cattle. Little or DO
bedding is given. The level of the cow
house is in most cases raised high enough
to allow of a space beneath, into which
the refuse is regularly swept, through an

Learning housekeeping.

An English lady who has resided for
some time on the continent writes: The
complaints hear daily about servants
and housekeeping induce me to make a
proposal-namely, that of establishing
the system which is practiced in Germa-
ny. OF sending every young girl after she
has finished her school education, and be-
fore she is ''out," to learn housekeeping.
This evry girl in Germany does, be she
the daughter of a nobleman, officer, or
small official She goes direct from
school into a family corresponding to her
station in life. Those who are rich 90
where they pay highly, and are in a
good family" SO that they are enabled
to live well, and have good cooking and
great variety. No one is taken into one
OF these establishments for less than a
year, so that with every month new
branch is learned-one month the presery-
ing OF fruit in season, the next laying in of
apples and vegetables for winter use,
preserving of eggs and butter, etc
These girls are taught everything, from
washing up dishes, sweeping and polish
ing the floors, clear-starching and iron
ing, busting and cleaning ornaments,
cooking, laying the table. waiting, pol
ishing the silver and glass up, to deco
rating the table with flowers and fruits
Great is the ambition of the pupil to hear
that her taste and management are the
best. Combined with these duties are
those of keeping the household linen in
repair and learning plain sewing. Thus
the young girl gets experience in house
hold affairs. Though the pupils have to
learn everything, servants are kept in
these establishments, who in their turn
are taught by the advanced pupils, who
have learned from the mother of the
family. This accounts for the excellent
housekeeping in Germany, where COM
fort is combined with economy, and the
pleasure of having everything precise
and clean. The labors of the day are
over by midday dinner being at mid
day., when everybody is at liberty for
study, needlework, or amusement till
time for preparing supper.

views with her or had any letters
from her in relation to the two cases
of johnson & Goodrich VS.. herself
and Mrs. Randolph-with the ex-
ception of the time of the compro-
mise itself.
In his argument on Tuesday NOR

told the Court that in as many as
twenty interviews with him since
the trial in the District Court you
had stated to him that lyon had
