Paraguay's Two Staples.

The two staples of Paraguay are
mandioca and yerba mate. The former
is q root resembling the yam, from which
is produced the tapioca of commerce.
Life and death are blended in the plant,
every part of which is useful if properly
treated; and it is as essential to the do
nestle economy OF Paraguay and Brazil
as rice to China and potatoes to Ireland.
1t is served at every meal IN some shape,
as bread is with us; and made into as
many forms of food as our flour. The
plant resembles the tomato. The stalks
and leaves are excellent fodder for cat
tie. aud have medicinal properties when
dried. When eaten raw, the root is a
deadly poison. Thirty-tive drops of it
were administered not long ago to man
condemned to death, and he died after
five m nutes of dreadful agony. The
poison is mysteriuusly removed by the
application of heat; and when boiled or
baked, the root is as wholesome and
as palatable as d sweet potato. When
cooked, it is almost pure starch, and con-
tains pinety-five per cent. of nutritious
properties. The roots are first boiled,
and then are reduced to meal by being
pounded in wooden mortars made OF the
log of the lepacho tree.
The ycrba mate or Jesuit's tea, as it
used to be called, grows wild in thc for
ests as pleutifully as the beech or the
maple with US, but is much improved by
cultivation in the yerbales or tea-farms.
In spring the young leaves are stripped
from the branches, dried before a fire,
and then packed in bales for local sale
or export. Like the Chinese or japanese
teas, the quality and flavor largely depend
upon the manner in which the mate leaves
are handled, but to the novice it has a
bitter and disagreeable aste.-American

The Care Of Butter.

Farmers are often unjustly blamed for
the poor quality of butter, which was
quite good when bought. but quickly
deteriorates after it has been kept one
or two weeks. The city housewife, or
more generally the servant allowed
charge of the kitchen, is largely to blame
for this. In summer we have known
butter to be placed in refrigera,ors
along with meats and even fish, the idea
being that as none of those touched each
other no harm could come to the butter.
Fat is very absorptive of any odors, and
either cream or butter is thus easily
tainted. In winter time butter should
not be placed where it will get direct
heat from stoves or furnaces. If the
house is heated from the basement, as
many city houses are, it has probably no
really good place for storing butter. On
q shelf near the kitchen it is sure to alb
sorb odors from the daily cooking.
In the country, butter is generally
| kept in cellars, which in winter are
largely used as storehouses for all kinds
| of vegetables that the farmer Is fortunate
or enterprising enough to produce. But
tue pruucuC housewife uOeS uot Olteu
TRY to store either cream or milk in
proximity to the odors arising from
Vegetables, roots and fruits. If the but
|teYy is not too close to the kitchen stove,
and is properly ventilated, good butter
may be produced, but, as is generally
3concedcd, this is much more difficult in
winter than IN summer, when good
ventilation seems so much mora a
necessity that it is rarely neglected.
The butter house should, if possible,
be disconnected from everything else,
and be kept both cool and free from
|noxious odors- Few farmers are able to
keep any large quantity of butter very
bong without loss of quality, and never
|if their cellars are filled up with fruits
land vegetables, as those of the farmer in
mixed husbandry are almost sure to be.
Nor is the city resident any better pre-
pared for this business. AS a conse.
fauence it is better that the farmer sell
his stocks off about as fast as he makes
Them, and that the consumer should buy
small quantities, that may be quickly
used before danger of being spoiled

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OFINTERESTR RELATIVE
FARM AND GARDEN.
Potatoes from Seed Balls.

Potatoes may be grown from the seed
balls, which are really the fruit and true
seed of the plants. But the tubes will
vary in character. and no two will be
alike. The first year they will be small,
tbnt when planted the next season they
will be of ordinary size. The produce
iof the seed is called seedlings, and it is
in this way that new varieties are pro.
3duced. A good way to get the seedlings
is to SOW the seed in pots early and before
nlthe planting season arrives. In May or
June the plants arc set out in the open
Fground in rich soil, and are cultivated in
the usual manner.--NeD Y0rc Times.
Disadvantages oil Crude Petroleum.
If you want to use crude petroleum on
the fences and buildings of the farm, all
right. 1t is cheap and helps to render
durable all the wood it touches, but re-
member it never leaves the wood il
iattaches itself to, and you can never
climb that fence without being re.
minded that it is immortal. The animal
that rubs against it carries the mark away
with him, and the whole farm smells
like kerosene refinery. We would
rather rebuild the fences and houses,
after the lapse of natural lifetime, than
to live in the presence of this living
nuisance. So far as fences are concerned
the point of weakness is always located
at the post where the board comes in
contact with it. There is where the
water from rains lodges and rots the
plank. To put the crude petroleum on
the posts where the plauks are nailed to
them would be wisdom. but beyond that
it is very questionable if the oil does any
good whatever Ua;rymGR.

1t is the general impression that the
Vanderbilts live in the most magnificent
and expensive style. 1t is true they live
luxur;ously, but the amount of their
personal expenditures, considering their
great wealth, is moderate. Cornelius
Vanderbilt spends about $3.50, 900 a
year, including his charities. William
*. Vanderbilt spends about 5000, 900,
and in this sum is included the main
tenance of his yacht. Frederick w.
lives within $50,0OO, and George W.,
who makes his home with his mother,
does not spend over $4,000. Mrs.
Shepard, Mrs. Sloane, Mrs. Twombly
and Mrs. Webb spend $4,000 year.

The Elegant West End Theater in
 Harlem Which He Will Manage

 Labor.
 The New West End Theater which Mir. Horace Wall Is soon to take charge of in Harlem will be one of the handsomest build ings of the kind in the country. It will be finished and opened to the public in October. It is situated at Seventh avenue and 124th street. It will be in the Byzantine style of architecture, modified in minor details of composition by oriental lines and ornaments. The lower story walls will be faced with heavy blocks of dark colored brownstone, gray-faced and cut in some portions in bold reliefs. The upper walls will be of red brick, set in flemish band, with trimmings of stone and ornamented profusely with run ming courses of moulded work and panels of terra cotta and carved stone. Above this will be broad layer of Dutch tiles reaching to the roof, which will be surmounted by a promenade terrace and crowned at the fss fssR' bs Hvsr7 h0ogsh sasnps tower noaa be of sufficiently powerful light to be visi- ble at a distance of ten miles. Ths grand entrance on Seventh avenue will be thirty three feet wide. It will be through three massive serial arches of carved stone, with ornamental columns of polished granite carved in caps and bases. Above these will be pretty balconies and pavilions The out side walls will be besutifed by corbels, carv- ings in stone, turrets, Dutch tiles and terra cotta bas Ieliefs.
 The seating capacity of the theater will be ?, 100. The interior will be of Russian type, softened by the oriental. The proscenium Hrxra rrrt1l ho n1A af n,,I tapestries. massive chandelier, hung about with lanterns, will descend from the dome. After the performance an elevator in the tower will carry the audience to @ roof garden concert, lasting till midnight.
 The corner stone will be laid next Monday amid imposing ceremonies. It will open with a new drama and will be the only thea ter in the upper part of the city to run a stock company. A. F. Wood is proprietor and manager and Horace Wall, late of the New Haven Opera House, is business man auer.
 The New York Graphic of recent date devotes 6 page to Illustrating theme opera house. With 1t are pictures of MT. Wood, Horace Wall, Hilany Bell, the well knows critic, F. B. Hawkins, Tommy Russell and his prize mastiff Percy. Hilsny Bell is ed itor and MT. Hawkins assistant editor of the West End Critio-of which MT. Wood is also the propritor and publishers weekly paper devoted to the drama, music, literature and art. Among its staff writers are "Nym Crinkle," Maurice Barrymore, Rose Ensign, Ramsey Morris and other clever pens, and its its illustrations are by c. F. Vanderhof of the Century. MT. Wood. the sole owner and manager of the theater, has the distinc- ton of being the youngest theatrical direc- tor in the world. He is only twenty-two years of age. But he has had considerable experience for so young a man, which added to large fortune and 8 restless energy of ambition has made him, so far, successful in all his enterprises.
