HOw 70 Cook aSteak,

1t always makes me sick to see a.
woman cook a steak. She invariably
puts her pan on the stove and puts in a
chunk OF grease about as big as my fist;
when it is hot enough to begin to
crackle she puts In her beef and never
thinks Of covering it. Tie smoke and
steam from it goes to the very ceiling.
After she cooks it this way until It be-
gins to look like an old rubber shoe,
she calls it done. When you 60 to eat

CURLING THE MusTAcHE.


Some Points on the Custom Given by a
BARBER.
GLOW long has the custom of crimp-
ing the mustache been in vogue?" was
asked a dapper little barber who runs
a shop on Washington street, says the
Boston Globe.
1T was first introduced in the United
States about four years ago" he re-
piled, but it was known IN Europe
half century back
Docs the crimping of the mustache
injure the growth in any way?'
Eyes, very seriously. You see, hu-
man hair is naturally oily, which indi-
Gates healthy growth. If single
hair is placed under a powerful micro
scope it win be found to resemble n
pipestem-that is, a little tube runs its
entire length. Through this channel
flows a current of oil. Now, if this is
damned up, it has the same effect as
binding the stalk of a plant; the ripe
sap is cut off and decay follows. There
fore, in ninety-nine cases out Of one
hundred, where the mustache is
crimped il finally begins to fall out,
much to the grief of its owner. Where
there is unusual vigor this result does
not obtain, which accounts for the ex-
ceptions named"
do all your customers have their
mustaches curled?"
'Oh, no. it's the middle-aged and
young fellows who carry the style
When man begins to wrinkle up and
his knee joints begin to rattle he cares
very little for those finer points in his
personal appearance.
do the dandy police officers like to
have curl put into their whiskers?"
do they? Well, / should think so.
There arc some very handsome men
who wear the uniform of the city, and
when they go on duty they look as neat
as wax. A low-hanging mustache
would not harmonic with the ensem-
bic of these stoical guardians of the
peace. 1t is seldom one of them goes
out ON an ostensible hunt for crime
with his mustache in the condition de-
scribed."

AS regards litarat1r, generally, it
may be safely said tllt no work des-
uned to live was eyer prollcel by a
very yolnF mln or woman. The great
est po,m5 OF Milt)1 All Dryien, of
Wordsworth and Colcridgc, of Tennv-
son aad Browning, were produced when
they were past middle age tn, same
may be said of the novels of Scott,
Dickens, Thackeray, George Eliot and
Charles Reale; in fact, as re yard, fic-
ton, 1t may BE- safely said that while a
romance or sentim sntal poem may be
produced by a man or woman in
youth. no picture of life as it is can be
drawn until experience aids aptitude
and literary labor has achieved STYLE.
Therefore the ladies' who fail as novel
lists may find a consolation not to be de-
splsed in rejecting that they are alto.

CATTLE AND MUSIC.
Curious observa ions on an In;erestii
Suligct.


Saaject.
An English writer on the Effects of
Musical Sounds on Animals has rub-
lished some curious observations on this
subject. A few of these relating to
oxen and cows viii be Of interest.
Opposite to our house was Il LARGO
field, in which some twelve or t'.i.tscn
cows were put during the surannr
months. One day German band be-
gan to play on the road which divided
the house from the field. The COWS
were quietly grazing at the other end
of the field, but no sooner did they
hear the music than they at once adj
vanced toward it and stood with their
heads over the wall attentively listen
ing.
This might have passed unnoticed,
but upon the musicians going away the
animals followed them, and when they
could get no further stood lowing pits-
ously. So excited did the cows become
that some of them ran round and round
the field to try and get out; but, finding
no outlet, returned TO the same corner
where they had lost sight of the band
and it was some time before they
seemed satisfied that the sweet sounds
were really gone.
| have often noticed the power music
has over oxen. The other day we had
brass band playing in our garden. In
a field adjoining were four Scotch oxen
When the band struck up they were
at the far end of nine-acre field, quite
out of sight, the field being very I'M
even. They set off full trot to the gar
den wall, put their necks over and re-
manned SO till the tune was finished.
when they went back to Craze; but as
soon as the music struck up again they
came and put their heads once more
over the wall. This went on till the
band left, after which they ate little all
lay, and were continually lowing
