 It is hard work teaching a 1our-legged calf to drink. But it is different with a two-legged calf.
 Love may be a disease, but the man who eats onions and garlic every day isn't in much danger.
 If water tasted as good at night as it does the next morning we would save a lot of loose change.
 Love is always blind when you have a. button off your coat or hole in the toe of your sock. But love has fine eyesight when you come home with a long hair on your coat collar.

GoLDwIN SMITH ON EXPORTING

Goldwin, Smith was a strong Prussan sympathizer
 Ithaca, N. r., U. &. November IS, 1S7O.-My Dear Max Muller: You asked in Your last letter how it was that the Americans were permitting tho exportation of arms to France and whether there had been any change of feeling here. I believe, none. The compliments of the provisional govern ment told, you may see by the con- duct of the American ambassador, but those of Bismarck (who, among his va rious accomplishments, evidently knows how to tickle trout) are swal- lowed with at least equal avidity. It national law, and I venture to think, the right view.
 It would be too much to expect that, whenever any two nations choose to disturb the peace of the world, all the other nations should be required to prohibit lawful trading and to turn their government into detectives. armed as they must be for such pur- pose. with arbitrary powers. You can not draw any real distinction between arms and other things needed by bel ligerents One belligerent needs rifles, another saddlery, a third cloth for uniforms, a fourth biscuit. fifth cop per or iron.
 There is a special reason for not pro- hibiting the purchase of arms. If this were done a great advantage would be given against the interests of civt!iza- tion to powers which during peace cm- ployed their revenues in arming them selves for war instead of endowing professors. A moral and civilized power which had been benefiting humanity | would be assailed by some French em- pire which had been collecting chase. pots, and when 1t went to provide it. self with the means of defense inter- | national law would shut up the gun shop.

Art of Making Good Coffee

There is one of the arts of the kitchen have diligently sought to master the key to-" said householder mere man. "It is to make a good cup of coffee.
 First, investigated the kinds of coffee that really could be had I learned iong ago that Mocha and Java might come from Brazil or Colombia-so much for a name. Next I informed myself on blends and the use of chicory, and then parching and grinding. But there is one final step, the brewing, for such 1t may be called when rightly done
 Talking with Mir Robert Schneider, manager of the Batterton Coffee com pany, on making coffee, he told he that in the boiling of coffee one loses 40 per cent of the value. This is partly due to the coarser ground as compared to the pulverized.
