City Cows Causing CONSUMPTION.

The Council of Health has reported,in
favor of the expulsion of all dairy cows
from Paris, and only the liberation of a
very few, the owners of which can show
exceptional conditions of salubritv.
There are upwards of 5000 of these ami
mails in the capital, and they are found
to be a prolific source of pulmonary con-
sumption. The milk of a great number
of them was alive with the bacillus.
which wastes the tissues of COWS and
human beings attacked with phthisis.
A syndicate of dairymen who have taken
stables which they use for byres on long
leases cry out in the name of vested
rights against the hards hip of their bust
ness being broken up and no compcnsa-
ton granted. 1t has been suggested
that NJ. Pasteur might find a means of
subduing phthisis, and thus rendering
it safe to drink the milk which is drawn
from cows kept in confinement. The
Council of Health has, however, turned
adeaf ear to the suggestion, and v
continue to do so.-Losdon TssoropA.

LADIES'
Woman tho Boss Traveller.

IF you want proof that a woman is
more cautious than a man" said a drum
mer, 'tjust keep your eyes open while
travelling. A woman never forgets to
start for a train so early that see will have
forty minutes to wait. She never for
gets to ask her husband or male escort
of her trunks arc checked. She never
forgets to pause with one foot on the car
step and n hand on the handrail to
inquire if she is on the right train. She
never forgets to ask the conductor if she
has to change cars before reaching her
destination, and if she is sure to make
a connection, and if the train stops at
the place she wants to get off. She
never loses q ticket on a train check,
never drops her hat out of the window,
never permits herself to go to sl2cp with
in 100 miles of her destination for fear
that she may ride by, never fails to get
a whole scat for herself and another for
her luggage, never walks from one car to
another unless the train is standing still,
and never gets up from L seat to leave a
train without turning to look and see if
she has forgotten anything. I'll bet on

A Difference Of Opinion.

She went into a furniture store with
her husband, a faint hearted little man
who carried a second fiddle under his
arm. She dragged the salesman all over
the ground floor, ard leavinghcr husband
down stairs, she took the clerk to the
second floor to look at some willow
chairs. The poor clerk, tired and
weary, finally made some answer that
kindled her wrath.
"Do you know who I am2" she asked.
"No, madam, I do not, he replied
politely.
"Well sir, I'd have you know I am
Mrs. Blank of Prairie avenue, and that
is my husband down stairsg"
ooh, 1 beg your pardon, I thought
possibly that you might be Mr.. Blank Of
Prairie avenue, and that was your wife

Tho Modern Lady,s Man.

The modern lady's man, says a writer
IN the Brooklyn Eagle, is radically differ
i ent from the old-timer. Not very long
| ago the term lady's man suggested a
gushing sort of a chap, who dressed fop-
pishly, displayed a tendency to sport
sky-blue necktics and affect cffcminate
manners, squeezed his feet into small
boots, and went to q vast amount of
pains to render himself Objectionable to
ether men. He chattcd about dancing,
was full of small-talk, loved to carry a
ian or a bouquet, bowed perpetually,
aaintily, and m the slightest provoca-
ton, and was altogether a very useful
tort of q fellow to have around luncheon,
sewing, and commerce parties. Occa-
sionally he had a violent rival IN a lady's
man of the Maj. Bagstock type, who was
rs masculine, dashing, and abrupt as the
other was the reverse of it all. One sell
dom sees an old beau of the dashing
military type now, however, and the
gushcrs among the male sex are not pop
ular. Lady's men have changed amaz-
hgly-their manners arc subducd, dig
nifed, and exclusive, they seldom dance,
their brows arc heavy, and they only
smile after due deliberation and with q
high regard for effect.
The most solemn, earnest, and appar-
emily distracted man of my acquaint-
ance is a tremendous masher whose sway
is acknowledged from one. end of New
York to the other. He wears loose-ft-
ting clothes of an inconspicuous pattern
and cut, makes no pretensions, to fop-
perry, and is not particularly handsome.
He is exceedingly careful of the small
courtesies of life, his bill with florists av-
erages $500 a month, he is continually
making inexpensive but interesting
presents, and he is the soul of discretion.
Everywhere he goes he is besiegcd, but
his sallow face never lights up and he
pursues the business of subduing the
feminine heart with the analytical care,
determination, and skill of a chemist
conducting a series of dangerous and i'm
portant experiments.

A Belle Of the Frontier.

Truly America devclopes some strange
characters. There came to New York
some tlmc ago q woman with a history
that reads like q romance. She is the
daughter of Gen. Malcolm Clarke, of the
regular army, who was killed by m
Indian whom he had befr:ended some
years ago and who left a family of eight
children, the result of his marriage with
an Indian squaw. Miss Helen Clarke,
the eldest of these children, was cduca,
ted at a convent in Cincinnati and is
possessed of a very brilliant mind and
unusual histrionic talent, aud came here
to prepare herself for the stage, which
she proposes adopting as a profession.
Her presence wherever she appeared in
the city failed to attract attention.

wiry black hair and the unmistukable
Indian features, she presented q remark.

Fats aud. Frauds.

Some persons havc assumed that be-
cause butter-substitutcs have been pre-
pared so skilfully that persons could not
tell the real from the false butter when
placed side by side, therefore the false is
as wholesome as the true. The real
point IS the question of relative digcsta-
bility of the animal fats, tallow and
lard, as compared with milk-fats or but
ter. The digcstibility is to be consid-
cred not from the standpoint of robust
and vigorous men like miners and lum-
bermen, but from the standpoint of
those who consume but little fat except
butter, namely, women and children.
a Russian may make q light supper of
half-a-dozen tallow candles, and an Es-
qulmaux may swallow pound after
pound of train blubber, but these facts
would give little assistance in arranging
a dietary for the refined and delicate.
Milk-fats are the most easily digcsted Of
all known fatty bodies, with the posi-
BILE exception of fresh olive oil.
If tallow and lard separately are diff
ficult of digestion by delicate persons,
Will q mixture of these, to constitute go
to rs per cent. of a compound, no matter
how thoroughly disguised, acquire such
an increase of digestibility as to place
them on a par with the milk-fats2 If
not, then their sale as butter is q fraud.
and a damage to the public health.
The question does not lie between clean
animal fats and rotten butter. No one
advocates the use of the latter; the
point is between good butter and good
butterinc. If the latter is as good as
butter, why is it palmed off on an unsus-
pecting public as ''choice crcamery9"
At present prices, and selling under
fraud, the bogus butter butchers can
afford to use clean tallow and lard for
this manufacture. But when COMPETE
ton has brought down these substitutes,
how are the public to know how much
cholera-hog and diseased steer may en-
ter into this ''choice creamery" process9

Recipes.

Br0ited Mac&erel. -Freshen by soaking
In water over night. In the morning
dry 1t and cut off the head and tip Of
tail, place it between the bars of q but
tered fish gridiron and broil to a light
brown; lay it or a hot dish and dress
with a little butter and pepper.
Toasted Potatoes. Gut whatever num-
Der may be needed of cold, boiled pota-
toes into slices lengthwise, about q
quarter of an inch thick; dip each slice
in flour, and lay them between a wire
toaster. Have the fire clear, and when
both sides are nicely Drowned, lay the
slices on a hot dish, put a piece of butter
on each, and season with pepper and
salt.
To Pickle Plums, Peaches, and other
Fruits. -One-half a pound of sugar to
one pound of fruit. Put the fruit in a
tin pail or earthcrn jar with the vinegar,
and spices. Use stick cinnamon, whole
cloves and allspicc, cover with vinegar
and put it into boiling water and let it
remain till the fruit is soft. Take out
the fruit, boil the syrup down and pour
it over the fruit while hot.
Pigs Feet.--Put four feet in a sauce,
pan with cold water, pepper corns,
whole cloves and allspice, adding salt,
and boil them until the bones are loose.
Remove all the bones and put the meat
in a stone jar. Strain one quart of the
water in which the feet were boiled, add
one pint of vinegar and boil for five min,
utes. At the end of this time turn the
vinegar and water ovcr the meat from
the pigs feet, completely covering it,
and keep in a cool place. The mass will
be like jelly, and is cut rs needed. II
desired, it may be put in bowls and
turned out on the dish before serving.
