' Unsalted But,ter. The use of unsaltedl butter is on the increase in this country, and a process has recently been invented in England by which butter of this kind can be kept certainly for months, and possibly for years, without apparent deteriora tion. An experiment made proved that fresh butter when treated with this preservative could remain exposed to the action of the air for three mouths, and at the end of that time it was hardly possible to detect the dif forence between it and the newly made article. Some exports at butter tast Ing, It lw said, thought that it lacked something of the aroma which butter fresh from the dairy possesses, and that an exceedingly slight trace of salt In it'would impart to it more char acter. But for ull practical purposes the article, at the end of three months, wai as good as at the beginning, al though under ordinary conditions it would have been considored unfit for eatiug at the end of ten days. The "preparation," as it i8 callcu, by the ube of which this result is obtained is at present a secret. It is an odorless, tasteless and harmless antiseptic, and has also the merit of exceeding cheap. ness; so much so that the quantity needed to preserve a pound of butter costs in England about half a penny. It is worked into the butter directly after churning, and then all that is re quired is that the manufactured arti cle should be kept in a tolerably cool place. The change which this discov ery promises to bring about can hardly fail to be an important one, as it will tend to,equalize the cost of the best ta ble butter during the entire year. Hitherto, in the winter months, th8 price of even mildly-salted butter hue been high, for the reason that made in the summer for winter consumption, it could only be kept pure by the admix ture of a large quantity of salt. 'rho same is true of what is known as cook ing butter, which, as it is frequently made in a hurried and Imperfect man ner, is only checked from early putro faction by the excessive use of a saline preservative. Now, it salt is no long. or neseseary, butter may be good or poor, but in either case its merits or faults will not need to be disguised un der a eovering of salt. It is also in be applied to the preserving of fresh meat, and if this proves to be true, its effeet upon the trade and dietory eus to<s of the world would make the dis eovery one of the most important of the present century. ,f Fgyptian Posante. :1 Large in stature, and remarkable for his statuesque beauty, the appearance of the fellah is very striking. He has the true oval head peculiar to the Arab type; brilliant eyes, slanting up to wards the outer angles; a well shaped mouth with the lips slightly project ing, and superb teeth; a well-formed aquiline nose, with the nostrils large and open like those of the niegro; a semlexonvaries with the region of his abd,being dre odd h S ou h . n t e D elta he is of a light black Hiscotton shirt ia the only garmen heindulges inm; but, falling in grcflfolds about his flne figure, he wears It with no less dignity than iif it wee omuan toga. Degraded by slavery and his constant practice in taking alms, the fellah can scarcely be regarded as a responsIble moral being. It indolent and a fatalist, lie never works except when forced to do so by abso lute necessity. There is but one thing that he cares for~repose ; he has but one occupation--beggary. The blue I ~ chemise ef the feliaahines, falling from the shoulders to a little above the ankle, and open at the breast, is decidedly picturesqne. Thlo veil which they wvear is also blue; it is thrown ever the head and falls about thom in ample folds. Sometimes, when they wumnt to hide their faces, they catch hold of this iut tering blue banner with their beautiful teeth, and partially effect their object. The fellahines are sometimes tattooed U ~ upon forehead and cin, and they (dye their nails with henna. In the coun try you often nmeet them unveiled ; and .t'have sometimes seen a great beauty among them, preserving so astonish in lgly the Egyptian type that you feel as ifyen were looking at one of the old sculptures of Athos, or of Isis awakened ~ [ to life. But really to appreciate the grace of the fellabilne, you must see her returning from thme river with a jug of water on her head. 11er bare arms bent back to held her burden, her I garment draped about her body lIke a Greek tunic, and falling in numerous folds, straight and clinging-she walks proudly for ward with a slow and mecas .4.ured step.

FAMILIARITY OF CATTLE wIr CHtIL DnEN.-Wo do not hear of all the chil drei who are injured or killed by vicious cattle. It is a terrible thing to see a young half-broken cow chase a ohild out of a pasture if the escape be a narrow one; but how Indefinitely worse is it to have her overtake the lit tle one and toss or gore It. The child's fright often causes it to faint, which lis a great relief and often a matter of saf ety, for the animal quickly sees that there is no danger to her from such a ore. Cows and young stock in this country are usually familiar with men folks, while they see little of women and children-hence they fear and do lend themselves frot them Justas they would from dogs. In the same way many a horse has been fatally gored by a cow or helfer, simply because the latter had never been made familiar with horses. My horses are grazed more or less in the calf pasture, and so the calves know the horses, oldi and young, and as cows,-are perfectly quiet with them. If this Is important, and I think it is, It is ten times more impor taut that the heifers should grow up in familiarity with women and childre t be driven and fed by thorn more or less, and at calving time see that children may play with their calves without any harm coming to them. If heifers pass their firat calving without getting frightened and distrustful of men and children, they will always thereafter be quiet and tractable. The practice of turning helters and young etock out in the mountain pastures f,r the sum mer, interferes with this training, but it should be followed all the more dili gently in the winter. We can sell our trainedi helfers and deliver them on board cars, steamboat, or anywhere else with whole skins, good horns, and un roilled tempers, with a very little at tei.tion to tweir education at the proper time.

In the matter of education 242,250 francs are appropriated for the National Agricultural Institute, recent ly established ; the three agricultural colleges at Grignon, Grand Jouan and Montpelier cost the nation' 335,300 francs, this being the excess of -xpen ses over receipts; 90,700 francs are ap propriated for the sthool of horticul tltre at Versailles, 551,400 for practioal schools of agriculture and farm schools throughout the winter, the school of drainage and irrigation, and the school of sheep husbandry, Anid 43,000 francs for the experiment, stations, twenty-five in number, of which 16,467 are given to the station for silk culture, 10,000 to the station for silk culture, 11,000 to the station at Vincennes under the care of George Ville, sone of whose writ ings are well known in this country, and sums varying from. 600 to 6.000 francs to each of the others, except rhe very important one at Nancy, under Granduau, which requires no govern ment aid; 120,000 lrans are appropri a$ d for the so-called chairs of agrioul. surte, of whiclh there Is one for each of the eighty-nine dlepartmnents. The professors who occupy these chairs are appointed after examination by a com petent con1imuitteo, and is is their duty to lecture iou agriculfure at the primary institutionas for p)ublic instruiction, and at the agricultural mieetings thirough out their respective depart menuts. Within the past year a law has been' passed p)rovidinug for the establIshmten t of these professorships in all depart ments not already provided wit,h them. The governmuent shows a j ust apprecia tioni of' the unportance of ite agricultur al interests in thus providing for the difrusion of agricultural knowledge throughout all ranks of the people. R AT-PnOOF ConN Rlins .-There are not many farnmers who (10 not lose corn enough by rats every year to pay the extra expense of tnaking theIr crib or cribs rat proof. Such Is the general danuipniess ci the ground that the floor on which cornl resta should be at least thiree feet above the earth. Pillars of thais height above ground for crib sills should have plates of zinc or sheet iron extending six or eight inchtes on all sides before the sllis are put uipon them. Rats going up to the pillars (whet,her woodl, stone or brick) can not pas the sheet iron or zinc, nor can they jump three feet from the gr-ound and fasten themselves to the side of a crib. The steps, by which one enners the door of the crib, should be taken away at all times when not in use. In this way a farmer can easily keep rats from eating and polluting his bread eorn. Where rats haye access to oiie's crib they mul tiply rapidly, catch chickens, go to dwelling houses and become a psi-feet n uisance there also. All this evil is dLue, ini a large degree, to feeding and breed ing rats at a corn crib. This Is the most unp)rofitable stock a farmer can raise. CURING TOBACCO IN ThENs.--Simply plant a post or two sticks for the be gining and ending corners, and then begin square pens, like making a fenice, leaving one side of each pen open as hIgh up as wanted, say ten or fifteen rails, and then buid up a,11 sides as high as wvantedl, puitt,iing in stronig rails for tiers as you go, andl cover vith loose boards with a few rails on top to hold( the boards in place. These pens can be miade almost as quick and cheap as scaf folds, and enough in one ine to holise a large field of tobacco. We have seen very nine tobacco cured In such pens, and then moved into the 81hed-barn for safe keeping. It does not require muchh firing, is generally safe (we have never known one to barn) and no-house burn. The pens being small, the tobac co is not likely to be crowded so close that the aIr will not pass through, and a little smoke in the beginning will canse the worms to drop off and start the tobacco to yellowing beautiful if ripe. ______ THEa man who declared himself to be intoxicated wh music was air-tight. .A CIoGARErB is not nearly so good as ciegar smoked.

In drawing out the facts of personal or family history, clairvoyants do not always ask direct questions, but rather make state ments with an implied interrogation, to which the victim, oftentimes entirely. un consciously, responds by word, look or ges ture, or perhaps by all three; and at a later stage of the interview, these secret facts are artfully given back to the victim, who has no recollection of having previously im parted them, and will not believe thatt he has done so, but prefers to pelieve ' that he is in the presence of Divinity. It is not only possible but easy for a practical adept to draw out in this way minute and elaborate details of secret family history. A few years ago, while connected with one of the public institutions of this county, I made a number of experiments in this line. 1 told the patients afflicted with various forms of nervous and allied disorders, not to tell me about their syiptoms, nor give me any facts in their cases, but to let me tell them: and then I would proceed to indicate after the manner of a clairvoyant, the locality of their maladies, and the history of their troubles. In the majority of cases I was successful, and made out the diagnosis to the satisfaction of those who sought my advice, and with good reason, for nothing that I could do prevented them from telling me, although I asked them no questions, unintentionally and unconsciously, they would guide me at every stage of the kiter view. By a little practice any one could easily acquire this art; andi lo study, such as professional clairvoyants bestow upon this subject developes great skill in thus managing and deluding the unwary and non-expert.
