haokeray's Satire,

Thackeray created quite erroneous impressions of himself by often indulG- Ing in irony in the presence of people ~ho were incapable of understanding It. One curious instance which he gave was this: Thackeray had been dining at the Garrick and was talking In the smoking room after dinner with vari. ouS 'lub acqualntanEes. One of thepl happening to have left his cigar case

Tho Expense of q Wife.

A wife is decided addition to the demands upon ones purse. In that sense. however sensible and managing she may be. she is expensive. But everything worth having has its price of one soK or another. and there are some things which cost much without which life is hardly worth living.
 Said Thiers: Most men contemplate making some self denial when they marry. They think they will give up such and such expensive pleasures. Later on. when they discover that they cannot do so, and at the same time they lack the means to indulge, they complain that 1t Is the extravaganza cf their wives which causes the incon- ventence."

What Spells Winter Butter.

There is more poor butter made dur
ing the winter than during the sum
mer, although the natural conditions
are more favorable. Poor butter in
the winter is due largely to the fact
that the cream is kept too long and not
sufficient attention is given to it's keep
ing and ripening.
At this time of year the dairy cows
are we'll advanced in their lactation
periods and many of them are dry.
AS a result only relatively small
quantity of butter is made. In order
to avoid small or frequent Cummings
the buttermaker often attempts to
keep the cream too long, and even
while it is being saved does not keep
it properly mixed. 1t takes on an old
taste and imparts the flavor to the
butter. One of the first precautions to
insure good butter in the winter is to
avoid keeping the cream too long, even
though a small quantity must be
churned at a time. If proper care is
taken of the cream it may be kept
week, but for best results no longer
than that.
Another requirement is to keep it
thoroughly mixed, both while it is be-
ing saved and during its ripening proc

Graceful Cocoa Palms,

The cocoa palm is one of the most
beautiful and attractive natural adorn-
ments of many of the public parks
and private gardens in Brazil, often
attaining a height of from eighty to
ninety feet. The trunk is without
branches, and the leaves, which clus-
ter in tuft at the top, are from fif-
teen to twenty feet in length. At the
base of the leaves the nuts hang in
clusters, the number varying from three
to fifteen, according to the age and
condition of the tree. Occasionally CO.
Goa palms are found which do not
bear nuts, and these attain even a
greater height, their sterility seeming
to augment their virility and conse-
quent attractiveneSS.

MosIem Etiquette.

All true Moslems when eating must
begin with salt and finish with vine
gar. If they begin with salt they will
escape the contagion of seventy dis
eases. If they finish with vinegar
their worldly prosperity will continue

bound to be the first to start eating
and the last to leave off. Toothpick-
ing is considered an act of grace in
the true Moslem, for the angel Gabriel
is reported to have brought a tooth
pick from heaven for the prophet aft
er every meal. The priests recite GER
