The superiority of American fun Is ac-
knowledged by an editorial writer in the
London Nesos. He holds that there are
only two kinds of American humor to
which the Englishman objects. The
'tiokes4 about counting between lovers

schools and quaint answers there given
to Biblical questions, leave US cold" He
declaresthat in literature, when English
men want to be ven Historically di-
verted, they must, as q rule, buy their
fun from the American humorist. "We
are not at present" he says, ga bolster
ously comic lot of geniuses, and if you
see the tears running down the eyes of a
fellow-countryman reading in a railway
carriage, if he be writhing with mirth
too powerful for expression, the odds are
that he has got hold of a Yankee book.

The Thirteen Superstition.

Some of the fashionable people of Bos-
ton are firm believers in the superstition
which is opposed to thirteen at table.
this often leads to awkward complica-
tons, for their dinner parties are fire..
quently arranged for fourteen. When
this is the case and one O. the guests can
not attend, and does not apprise the
hostess of this fact until the day of the
dinner, great exertions are made to OBJ
tain the one necessary to make up the
original number, and many ladies accept
short invitations in order to help their
friends out of their dilemma. When the
p desired cannot be found, it is often
convenient for a member of the family to
be indisposed. This, of course, makes
the number of diners even, but it is
doubtful if it prevents any of them from
dying within the year.-Boston Budget.

Advice to Stoop.Shouldered People.

A STOPPING figure is not only a familiar
expression of weakness or old age, but it
is, when caused by careless habits, a di-
rect cause of contracted chest and de-,
fective breathing. Unless you rid your
self of this crook while at school you will
probably go bent to your grave. There
is n good way to cure it. Shoulder
braces will not help. One needs not an
artificial substitute, some means to devel-
op the muscles whose duty it is to hold
the head and shoulders erect. I know of
but one bull's-eyc shot. It is to carry a
weight on the head. A sheepskin or
other strong bag filed with twenty or
thirty pounds of sand is a good weight.
When engaged in your morning studies,
either before or after breakfast, put the
bag of sand on your head, hold your
head erect, draw your chin close to your
neck, and walk slowly about the room,
coming back, if you please, every minute
or two to your book, or carrying the
book as you walk. The. muscles whose
duty it is to hold the head and shoulder
erect are hit, not nth scattering shot,
but with q rife bali. The bones of the
spine and the interv"r.ebral substance
will soon accommodate themselves to the
new attitude. One year of daily practice
with the bag, half an hour morning and
evening, will give you a noble carriage,
without interfering a moment with you

The dairymen in Italy are improving
their facilities and butter to such an
extent as to become formidable rivals to
the Dutch in the export trade with
India, China and other Oriental custom
ers. Italy has a much longer butter
producing season than Denmark, and
threatens to supply French markets with
large quantities, thus forcing French
and Danish butter upon the English
buyers, reacting upon the American ex-
port trade in butter, which has already
suffered considerably from European
competition, the value having fallen
for ten months of this season to So, 654,-
1873, against $s,4o7, 799 for same time
last year, and in quantity from 10, 910,-
957 pounds in 1s84-s5 to 1858, 047
pounds in 1866.

The Town Cow.

One of the most annoying things that
the country people has to contend with
(says the West Union CO., Defender is
the ordinary town cow When the farm
er leaves home he puts in the bottom of
his sleigh or sled q bountiful armful of
hay. This answers the twofold purpose
of a seat and to keep the feet Of himself
and the good wife warm. He arrives at
town, unloads his wife in front of some
store, and proceeds to hitch his team at
some point about the public square. No
sooner is his back turned than a dozen
starved cows Immediately surround his
sled, and before he can say ''Jack Robin
son with his mouth open," every straw in
his sled has gone through the gastric
oriices of the aforesaid cows. We no.
ticed one particularly careful fellow the
other day. After hitching his team he's
took his hay and carried it into the court
house yard. He was going to lave the
dcadwood on that bunch of hay and de-
parted for a saloon with a grin on his
face. We watched the proceedings with
considerable interest. He was NOT out
of sight until three or four long horns
opened the gate and proceeded to the
pile and chewed it up. Clubbing these
lean kind does no good. In fact they
rather enjoy the fun. You can take an
ordinary stick of cordwood and bounce
it from off their carcasscs fifty feet high
and they will turn around and smile at
you. They don't even grunt when you
have hit them hard enough to stave in
their ribs. Such punishment seems only
to act as a tonic; it whcts their appctitcs
and makes them enjoy the repast which
the farmer has hauled to them from his
home many miles distant. And after it
is all over just notice the peculiar look
they give the man who came to town Sit
ting on a pile of hay, as he departs for
home on the bare boardsl The town
COW is a nuisance, but at the same time q
necessity in all rural villages. A 'ehome
without a mother would not be a more
lonesome spectacle than q rural village
without its herd of lean long-horned,
stump-tailcd COWS.

Canned Goods.

In the testimony brought forward IL
the recent Kolyer-Th urber case, much
light was thrown by expert md other
witnesses upon the methods, in some in
stances. of the canning trade. Besides
the copper boiling and zinc soldering
practices, other rcprehensible modes of
manufacture were testified to. One wit
ness, who said that he had been in the
canning business for thirty years, gave a
simple means of distinguishing spoiled
from wholesome fruit. It is understood
that when air can get at the contents OF
the can decomposition will ensue. The
wholesomeness of the goods, therefore,
depends entirely upon the air-tight con-
dition of the III The witness asserted
that when a can is perfectly air tight
there will be a hollow in the heads-that
is, they will cave in. If they are level
and spring back when pressed upon, they
are known to the trade as ''spring bot
toms"-that is, air has got in and the
contents are in a state of fermentation.
Fhe cans have been badly soldered OF
sealed up. If the ''spring bottoms"
stand long enough they become what is
known as "swell-heads"-that is, the
bottoms have become convex and swell
out, a condition due to the generation of
gases by the process of fermentation. In
order to sell these goods INSCRIPTIONS
dealers resort to what witnesses called
''reprocessing." That is, the dealers
make a hole in the head of the can. heat
the fruit and solder it up again; or, as
this trick is easily detected, shrewder
manufacturers melt open the original
vent-hole, heat the fruit and then resol-
der the can at the old place. This leaves
no mark, and therefore removes all evil
dence that the can has been tempered
with.-Neao York. Commercial.
