Paprika, or Hungarian Pepper.

A very delicious red pepper, too little
known in this country, is the Hungarian
paprika. 1t is little, if any, stronger
than white pepper, has an exquisite flavor
peculiarly its own, and threatens no he
patio troubles. Although a very good
pepper for table use, the chief excellence
of the paprika is in culinary employ
ment. Heat brings out its flavor, and
being so mild it may be used lavishly
without giving pain to tender mouths
The Spanish black pepper, which grows
in long pods like vanilla beans, closely
approximates to paprika, but is not quite
so fine flavor. 1t is little milder and
is principally used in cooking. Food.

Expedition to the Zambezi:"

native hut, but could not because of at.

hands and necks were the first objects of

were massed in silence round the point

three times repeated, though until then
we had not believed in the vocal power
OF an ant. The instant after we felt the

HOE YOUR OWN ROW.
1t Is a ProftIess Proceeding to Carry Goals
to Newcastle.


to Newcastle.
There are more ways than one, my son
of carrying Goals to Newcastle, and in
almost every case it is proftless pro.
ceeding on the part of the person engag.
| ed in it,
Therefore, my son, have nothing to dc
with that kind of traffic-that is to say,
do not encroach upon another's preserves
except to admire. Do not attempt to
stock them with your own game.
When a man is salesman in a dry
goods store, do not attempt to instruct
him by the ventilation of ideas of your
| own. If he be an actor, do not intrude
upon him any Of your amateur notions.
| If clergyman, refrain from Scriptur&l
citation and eXegesis when in his compa-
ny. If a professional humorist, resist,
as it were the evil one, all temptation to
facetiousnessand paronomasia. If anne.
chanic, do not presume to give him points
in his calling.
But, on the other hand, my son, donot
attempt to interfere with his speaking or
his calling, profession or speciality. So
long as you listen you make no mistake
and the wing of friendship molts no
feather.
Give ear to the story of his experiences
at the counter, but interject none of your
own; listen toand applaud his spoutings,
but spout not yourself; receive with be-
coming reverence his interpretations of
holy writ, but NEEDLE not yourself with
that which the lay mind is not supposed
to be able to cope withal; listen and
laugh at his wit and whimseys, but
hazard no joke of your own; attend
while he relates his mechanical achieve
ments, but yaunt not yourself in the
same line
1t Is common mistake, my son, to
suppose that because man delights in
talking about certain something in
which he is proficient, he loves to hear
every babber that falls in his way des-
cant upon the same subject; that because
1t pleases him to exalt himself in given
direction he likes to hear others in the
same direction exalt themselves.
When a man knows thing thorough
ly-or thinks he does, which amounts to
the same So far as he is concerned-he is
quite ready and willing to instruct others,
but he brooks no incursions by others
into his peculiar domain. When he has
finished the exposition of his wares, it is
time for you to show up yours, provided |
of course they are of an entirely differ
ent line.
There mast be reciprocity in the COM
inerce of conversation, an exchange of |
complementary commodities. Each must !
give what the other lacks and receive in
return that in which he is wanting, else
there can be no trade, no harmony.
You would not ship oranges to Flori-
la, ice to Nova Zembla or hot air fur
naces to Sahara. Then why carry Goals
to Newcastle?
Therefore, my son, let each man pad
lie his own canoe as it best pleases him.
Admire, applaud, if you willard it is
your best hold-but don't put in your
oar, though he be swamping,-Boston
