Cream is Rare in Gotham.

An excited German woman, from
5Chrystie street, called at sanitary
headquarters and exhibited in a tin
pan about half a pint of milk, which
she had bought in a grocery next door
to her home. She declared that soon
after she had taken the milk to her
home something yellow began to
gather on its surface, and she thought
it must be poison. The officials
examined the milk and told her that,
strange as it was in connection with
Chrystie street milk, the yellow stuff
was cream. The woman was notat all
relieved by this announcement, as she
did not know what cream was, and she
persisted that something was wrong.
Finally she. went away in rage, de-
claring that she could not get justice.

Winter Carpets.

There Is nothing SO distressing 70 q neat
housekeeper as soiled carpet. a carpet
which has become stained with grease and
other spots that cannot be removed BY beat
ing can usually be cleaned with gasoline
more satisfactorily than in any other way
To do this in the most salts actory manner
the carpet should be spread on a perfectly
clean floor alter it has been beaten free
from dust. Pieces Of clean cotton should
be laid under the spots that remain, and
the spots should be rubbed on the other
side of the carpet thoroughly with gasoline
till they diappear. This should never be
done in room where there is a light or
fire, as gasoline and benzine are both in
tiammable and dangerous articles to use
II the windows are open there is no posi-
Bile danger in using either for cleaning. Of
course acid or other stains, by means of
which the color has been removed from the
carpet, cannot be taken out in this way.
lfan OK gall is mixed with double its bulk
of water, applied lightly to carpet with
sponge rubbing the carpet gently till q
clear soft water Tor hard water, in which,a
tablespoonful of ammonia is used to the
gallon), the colors in the carpet will be
frightened. Only square yard should be
cleaned at once in this way. The carpet
should then be dried as dry as possible with

stain of creosote which is well nigh indel-
ible. For practical use in the every day
household ingram and body Brussels are
the most durable carpets. A good ingram
is very much to be pre- erred, and is a more
refined choice than either velvet, tapestry
or Brussels, although the velvet carpets are
now better made and far more durablethan
carpet is lar more durable than moquette,
which brushes off with every successive
sweeping in such way that the pattern is
often dimmed and runs together and it
loses its beauty. This characteristic OF the
moquette carpet is due to the method Of
making. In order to produce soft, long
nap the carpet is sheared after making, and
the minute particles of the shearing are
driven into the nap. New York Tribune.

About Lead Pencils.

what does it cost to make a lead
pencil?' said the manufacturer in re-
ply to a New York Sun reporters
inquiry. First, let me tell you how
to make a. pencil
See this fine black powder? That's
graphite. It costs twenty-five cents
pound. This white substance is Ger
man clay. 1t comes across the ocean
as ballast in sailing vessels, and all it
costs us is freight. We mix this clay
with this powder together and grind
them in mill adding moisture dur
ing the process, until the two are
thoroughly mixed and are reduced to
a paste about the consistency OF
putty.
This paste we press into these
dies, each one Of which is the size OF
a pencil lead except in length. There
are four leads in one of these. After
they are pressed we cut them into
proper lengths and bake them in an
oven kept at q very high temperature

hardness is regulated by the greater
or less amount of clay we mix with
the graphite-the more clay we put
in, the harder the lead.

pally from Florida, and is obtained
entirely from fallen trees that lie.

in blocks sawed to pencil lengths.
some of them thick, to receive the
lead, and some thin, for the piece
that is to be glued over the lead. The
blocks are sawed for four pencils each
They are grooved by a saw the
entire length, the grove being the
place where the lead is TO lie. The
leads are kept in hot glue, and are
placed in the groves as the blocks are
ready. When that is done. the thin
piece is glued fast to the thick one.
When dry, the blocks are run through

WILL MAN EVER FLY.
A Glance at Natural History Indicates that He

The giant birds of geology, such as
the dlnOrnis, the extinct moa Of New
Zealand, some Of which stood more
than ten feet high, were most of them
Wlngless. just as still the great ostrich
IS running, not a flying bird. The
albatrosses and the condors, giants
among the winged fowl of the present
day, are only relatively gigantic, say S
the Edinburgh Review, since tie
weights Of their bodies are trifing
compared with those of human beings,
and their lofty flights, even if matched
by the ascending powers of balloons,
are unsuited to the respiratory facul-
ties OF man.
Helmholtz has observed that, though
many small birds which are granivor-
Gus fly swiftly the great birds that are
potent on the wing are fish and flesh
eaters, not needing extensive organs
OF digestion for their concentrated
food. He thinks it therefore probable
that in the model Of the great Alpine
eagle nature has attained the utmost
limit that can be attained, with mus
cles for the working organs and con-
ditions Of nourishment as favorable as
possible for the size of a creature
which is to raise itself by wings and
maintain itself for any time high in
the air.
Under these circumstances he con-
cludes that it is scarcely to be con-
sidered probable that man, with the
most skillfully contrived mechanism,
to be moved by his own muscular
power, would ever be able to raise his
own weight into the air and sustlin it
there for any time worth speaking of.
When vessels filled with gas lighter
than air are employed to supply the
lifting power, and yet other vessels
are employed with some stored force
to take the place Of our own muscular
resources, the consequential in crease
of bulk and weight in the complex
machine must indeed greatly discour-
age human aspirations and longings
for the invention of artificial wings
| The desire involved, however little
| it may be formulated in those aspir-
atoms, is for the capacity to cleave the
air like a merlin or to skim over the
waters like a swift, and for ability to
do this or something like it freely on
the impulse Of the moment, not after
consultation with the gas works and a
fee to the electrical engineer

WHAT'S A GENTLEMAN7
Cardinal Newman,s Dsanitlon in His Adares, /,

80
To define gentleman! This is the
late Cardinal Newman's attempt. The
remarkable passage occurs in his six.
Discusses Addressed to the Catholics
at Dublin
1t is almost a definition OF a gen.
tleman to say that he is one who never
inficts pain. This description is both
refined and, so far as it goes, accurate.
He is mainly occupied in merely re-.
moving the obstacles which renderthe
free and unembarrassed action of those
about him, and he concurs with thei,
movements rather than take the initia.
tive himself. His benefits may be con-
sidered as parallel to what are called
comforts or c0nveniences in arrange.

them. The true gentleman in like
manner carefully avoids VIII ltever may
cause jar or a jolt in the minds Of
those with whom he is cast-alI clash
ing Of opinion, or collision of feeling,
all restraint, or gloom, or resentment;
his great concern being to make every
one at their ease at home He has his \
eyes on all his company; he is tender
toward the bashful, gentle toward the
distant, and merciful toward the absurd.
He can recollect to whom he is speak
ing; he guards against unreasonable
illusions, OR topics which may irritate;
he is seldom prominent in conversation,
and never Wearisome. He makes light
OF favors when he does them and seems
to be receiving when he is conferring.
He never speaks of himself except
when compelled, never defends him
self by mere retort; he has no ears
for SANDER or gossip. is scrupulous in
imputing motives to those who inter.
fere with him, and interprets every
thing for the best. He is never mean
or little in his disputes, never takes
unfair advantages. never mistakes
personalities Or sharp sayings for
arguments, or insinuates evil which
he dare not say out. From a long
sighted prudence he observes the
maxim of the ancient sage that we
should ever conduct ourselves towards
our enemy as if he were one day to be
our friend. He has too much good
