The Snail Harvest.


The snail harvest has just begun in
France The 'poot man S oyster Is so
appreciated that Paris alone consumes
about forty-nine tons daily, the best
kind coming from Grenobe or Burgun-
DIV. The finest specimens are carefully
reared in an escargatoire, or snail park,
such IT'S the poor Capuchin monks
planned in bygone days at Colmar and
Weinbach, when they bad no money to
buy food, and so cultivated snails. But
the majority are collected 10y the vine
dressers in the evening from the stone
heaps where the snails have assembled
to enjoy the dew The creatures are
then starved in dark cellar for two
months, and when they have closed up
the aperture of their shell are ready for
cooking. According to the true Bur-
gundy method, they are boiled IN five
or six waters, extracted from the she'll.
dressed with fresh butter and garlic,
then replaced in the shell, covered with
parsley and bread-crumbs, and finally
simmered in white wine.

Pleasing Ones scIfin Vacation.

We are favored each year, says the
Lewiston (Me,) J0arHai, with six
months Just right for active work, three
months Of cold weather for study or
other indoor labors, and three months
of hot weather for rest and recupera-

ed in possessing the nation favorite
summer picnickIng ground, so chat we
may have the best OF everything sum
mer brcezcs, sea air, cool nights, and
charming scenery, without going away
from home. There seems to be no
reason why almost every one should
not take week or two OF vacation,
even if it be spent at home. But home
is not always the best place for rest
Often what is needed is a complete and
sudden change. What kind OF IL vaca-
ton would a teacher get were she to go
each day to the schoo-room and hear
whatever lessons stray pupils might
bring in? Busy h0uskeepcrs, and farm
crs, and doctors and store-keepers need
a rest none the less. and to get il in for
ali its completeness they must 90 to

to let somebody else select the place.
Why should one who prefers the noun

The tidy has lace all around the bor-

needed: quarter of a yard of satin,

A few sprays of flowers painted on

LEARN TO PREACH.

The way to do thing is to do it.
Men LEAN to swim by diving into the
water. Men learn trade by begin
ming and working on raw material,
and making mistakes and failures
and thus achieving success. There
are many ministers who have learned
Greek, Latin, Hebrew, and various
other things, but have not learned
to preach. They cannot tell what
they know, and if they undertake to
do 1t they tell things that others do
not care 10 know, and fail to tell
things which men are anxious to
hear. They learn logic and rhetoric,
composition and defamation, but
after all they do not know how to
preach. The English Congregational
lists have one usage which is worthy
of consideration. In the Noting
ham Institute, in the theological
course for the first and second years
there is this requirement: ''Six
hours week of open-air preaching,
with house-to-house visiting" This
looks like business, and a man who,
in addition to other studies, spends
an hour a day in out door preaching,
on street corners, or in the highways
and hedges, talking to congregations
of one, or ten, or one hundred, meet
ing with infdels, atheists, scoffers
and prodigals, will be likely to make
failures enough to keep him humble
to meat rebuffs enough to make him
practical, and to find enough of diff
culties, objections and cavils to teach
him to know his ground, be careful
what he says: and be able to prove
his positions. We are sure that
many theological student who has
burned midnight oil until his face is
"sicklied DER with the pale cast of
thought" and his stomach democrat
lied with dyspepsia, would greatly
improve his prospects for present
and future usefulness by taking in
his course 'six hours a week of
open. air preaching, with house-to-
house visiting Tile Christian.

THE IMPORTANCE OF GOOD
MANNERS.

Edward Everett, who commanded
so much respect in England, not
only for his learning and talents, but
for the elegance of his manners, was
once asked by an American, how he
had so mastered the detail of Euro
pean etiquette. His answer was a
significant one:
Il have never considered any sub
ject which other people respect as
unworthy of intense observation. l
pride myself on the manner even
in which | tie up a brown paper par
eel. | study the etiquette of every
country"
Our republicanism will become
more genuine when it realizes that
a proper attention to etiquette is at
once elegant, simple, proper, and
dignified, and that it should extend
over our country from the EXTREMIST
limits of civilization to the great
cities and the little villages. 1t need
not be the observance of old world
ceremonials, although we should
learn enough of them not to offend
if we visit a monarch on his own
ground; but it should be that be-
coming courtesy, which will at home
improve society which has al
ready so much to commend it and
which may have the most splendid
future.
The best American girl is interest
ed everywhere in the best way of do
ing everything. A girl with self
respect is always willing to learn.
The truly wellbred girls in America
with charming manners expressive of
a good heart, careful education,
and a proper desire to please-and
their name is leglon-should not be
injured even in that general clas-
sitication american" by the bad
manners of few; yet they have to
suffer for the i'll bred. American
girls have no excuse for not being
the best-bred girls in the world, for
they are remarkably clever. We
must permit ourselves the national
vanity of claiming that the native
purity, quick intelligence, apprehen-
sions of the necessities of new po-
sition, and in some instances the
intuitions of elegance, are, in our
young countrywomen, quite miracu-
| lous, as contrasted with the slower
mind of the German, for instance.
The wife of an American Minister
at Berlin had occasion to notice this
difference. "a young German
countess" said she, "will arrive at
Berlin from her secluded chateau,
and she will be introduced at court
with all honors. She will be awk-
ward, embarrassed, for the whole
winter. A young American girl will
be introduced fresh from some West
ern city, or some New England town
and she will be at her ease and mis-
tress of etiquette in month. She
will charm everybody by her wit, her
repartee, and her cleverness. -

CORN MEAL-NEW AND OLD

Corn-meal, past and present, is an
interesting subject. The changing
quality of this meal is a source of
much annoyance to the hOusekeeper
of to day. Rules which always
worked to perfection in the past, are
now as uncertain as the weather.
The old process of making cornmeal
was to take corn which had dried
naturally for few months, and crush
it between mill-stones. This gave
a sweet favored but uneven meal,
some parts being as fine as flour,
while others were rather coarse; be-
sides, there was a considerable am
cunt of coarse bran. AS the corn
was not entirely free from moisture
and was heated in being crushed be-
tween the mill-stones, it could not be
relied upon to keep good; week
was as long time as it was expected
| is remain sweet. 1t is to be regret
ted that this delicious meal has passed
away.
About 10 OF 20 years ago the granu-
lated meal began to appear in the
market. 1t was sweet, dry and of
even texture, being cut instead of
being ground between stones. The
corn was thoroughly dried before be-
ing sent to the mill at first it was
kept for two or three years, until all
the moisture had evaporated. This
new kind of meal was very satisfac-
tory because it was of uniform quail
ty and would keep any length of time.
If the manufacturers had been con-
tent to follow this process up to the
present, housekeepers would have
been we'll pleased, but the dry ing Of
the corn was not rapid enough fol-
the millers, who soon began to use
kilns. At the outset of the new de
parture the corn was dried slowly an(
at low temperature, and the mea
was nearly as good as that made b,
, the original method. But the tim
for drying has been reduced NOR
l and more, until now the grains o
5 the corn-meal are as hard as tn
5 grains of hominy, and it is rattle
hard to distinguish between the two
t Then, too, the meal is ground muc
b finer than formerly. All these chang
i. es in the meal have damaged it con
siderably, and it is almost impossibl
to get the moist, sweet corn bread G
years gone by. If in using old 1e
= ceipts for corn-bread, one eighth {
the quantity of meal called for /
omitted, the bread will be neare
. what it should be than if all the me-
be used.-Good Housekeeping.

The handsomest Afghan for a
baby's carriage that has come to our
notice, is made of eider-down fan
mel. 1t was two-thirds covered with
cream white lace. The edges of the
lace, that is, the embroidered edges,
were placed toward the center, leav-
ing a space there to be embroidered.
The lace was caught down on the
flannel with silks of shades of pink
and olive-green, the most prominent
parts of the lace being worked over
with the silks, giving it a most beau
tiful effect. A spray of blossoms
was embroidered in the space in the
middle. The fringe on the ends was
made of pink worsted tied in. Such
flannel as that of which this was
made, can be purchased for one
dollar and twenty cents a yard, and
it takes three-quarters of a yard fol-
one Afghan. The lace of the width
used, can be bought for fifty cents a
yard.

There is popular prejudice in
favor of eggs having dark-colored
shells. 1t is based on the fact that
Brahma and Plymouth Rock eggs,
which are usually large and of good
quality, have dark shells. The

feed of the hen. At this season,
when grain is the staple diet, the
eggs are more finely-havored than
later, when hens pick up their living
