BuiIalo Bill on French Courtesy.

In letter to the Chicago Inter OceaH
Buffalo Bill writes concerning French
politeness 1t is genuine courtesy, and
while the forms of conduct may appear
extravagant TO some Americans, it seems
to me that they are genuine expressions
OF regard. | cannot help feeling that
the French are extremely hospitable and
generous. That is, they 90 not condemn
a man before he is proved guilty. They
willingly takes his word for what he is,
and do what they can to promote his in-
tercsts.
A great deal has been written in the
past about the Frcnchman's fickleness, his
love of display, etc. / have not found
this judgment justified by my expert
cnce. l have been concerned here in
giving AN entertainment characteristic of
certain features of American life. We
do not parade in spangcd clothing, we
have no grand scenery, no spectacle of
the ordinary kind; in fact, nothing has
been done to give any artificial effect to
our performance. We appear in exactly
the same costume in which we rode
about the plains, and every feature of
our properties, to use theatrical term, is
Of the plainest description. Do the
Frenchmen dislike it, accustomed rs they
are TO seeing wealth of splcndor in
their public entertainments Not at all.
They are deeply impressed with the plain
gcnuinoness of the exhibition we give.
In all our experience have not known
people who came more repeatedly than
the French to see our representation.
They take pains to inform me and my
associates Of their appreciation of the
homely features which We bring into the
foreground.
All this would seem to show that the
French are anything but superficial in
their observations. They care more for
the plain, rough representation of the pi-
oneer's life than for tine gaudy glitter of
the circus. Further than that, they cor.
rectly appreciate the individual features
the Wild West They understand what
we are about when We endcavor to illus
trate the life on the plains Of years ago,
a manner of life, indeed, that has not yc
entirely gone out Of existence.

A Round Dozen OF Don'tS.

Don't tell the faults or cute sayings
your child in his presence.
Don't say "Oh, do hush up" or "Don't
bother me with SO many questions, 4"
when a child questions you. Ii he asks
for the sake Of knowing, answer him,
though he ask "sevcnty times seven"
questionsa day, and teach him to remcm-
Der what you tell him.
When you promise child something,
don't forget to fulfill the promise to the
letter. II you are not scrupulous to do
Just MS you agree you may expect the
one to set you down us false and learn to
be thus himself.
Don't trample mercicssly under foot
the wishes of child, but respect them as
far rs possible.
Don't be constantly menacing child
with "I'll whip you" or 'rll put stick
over you" Let your promise of chas-
tisement and inhiction OF the same be of
seldom occurrence, but if you promise,
keep your promise.
Don't punish II child in anger, but let
him know that you dislike the task, but
perform it for his good. Don't even let
him see in you trace of the "Im-big-
gcr-than-you-and-yOu've got to mind"
spirit.
Don't manifest spirit of partiality.
Children are sure TO detect this.
Don't encourage in small child that
for which you will punish him when
older.
Don't do and say things for the sake of
causing him to show anger and then
scold because he does so.
Don't feel it beneath your dignity to
give child the reason for refusal, if
practicable so to do; if it is not, your
former conduct should have inspired such
confidence toward you that he will
cheerfully submit, though he does not
understand your motives.
Don't deceive or frighten (by bugbears)
children into obedience. -NeiO England

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
PIcTunE scAnFs.

The fancy Of hanging scarf or ''throv"
over the corner Of picture or an easel
to break the angular lines is becoming
general, and adds dainty grace and color
to many otherwise colorless, sombrc,
though beautiful prints. Thus an etching
OF springtimc may be enhanced in beauty
by scarf of India silk in pale azure blue
figured in pale colors and conventional
pattern with apple blossoms, or picture
OF autumn may be hung with scarf of
blue and white Chinese Grape in pattern
of bamboo or rice branches, with wild
flowers and birds, or such material as
may be found in Chinese stores. A white
Grape printed with graceful fright of
waterfowl may serve to drape an easel
that holds IN inland water scene. The
taste of the fuinisher will suggest where
such drapery will be valuable and where
it is supcrfuous, and simply burden
rather than ornament the room.-Nep

This accomplishment comes into PLAY only

APPLE BUTTER.

This old fashioned and wholesome pre-
serve, or sauce, is still made on Some
farms and its preparation is part Of the
regular farm work in autumn. The first
step in its preparation is to evaporatc or
boil down quantity of sweet cider;
hence it is often called "cidcr apple
sauce" If there is large cauldron or
set kettle, as there is on many farms,
that may be used; otherwise, one or
mere large kettles arc provided with
proper support, so that fire may be
made under them There will be much
stirring to be done, and long wooden
stirrcrs should be provided. A barrel Of
cider is boiled down to eight gallons.
While thc cider is being boiled the APP
pies are prepared. Formerly this was
done by "paring- g-bcos,' NJ which the
ncighbo-s assisted Now, there are nu-
mcrouS apple parcrs, some OF which not
only pare, hut core and quarter the APP
pies, and do the work very expeditions
ly. The apples should be sweet ones OF
II kind that will cook tender. From
two-and-a.half to three bushels are re-
quircd for each barrel of cider. The
cider being first cvaporarcd, the apples
are added, and the whole boiled togeth-
cr until it becomes jclly-like. At this
time there is danger Of scorching, and it
must bc stirred continually. Some
makers, when the sauce is done, add to
it cinnamon and allspice, but the major
ity prefer it without the spices. While
still hot, the sauce is transferred to kegs
or other wooden vessels, or jars of stone
ware are used. When well made, the
sauce keeps IL long time. mc.-Americda Agri-
cRiturist.
