~KING A HUSBAND. A Few s pie rules for Making Tbem ' jnder and Ulgestible. In selcd'ing your husband you should not bN guided by the silvery ap rearance as P4 buying mackerel, or by the golden ti t, as if you wanted -almon. Be su\e to select him your -elf, as tastes dffer. Don't go shop ping for him. as\the best are always brought to your dtor. When bought. tie him in the saucepan with a strcng cord called Comfort-vs the kind called Duty is apt to be *eak. Husband, -Sometimes fly out of the saucepan and become burned and rusty on the edges, since, like lobsters and oysters, you have to ecnok them alive. Make : clear. strong. steady fire ou. of Love. Neatness and Cheerfulness. Set him as near this as seems to agree with him. If he sputters and fi:r.zies don't be anxious. Some husbands do this sitil they are quite done. Add a it ale sugar in the form of Kisses, but no vinegar or pepper. A little spice im proves husbands, but it must be use". with judgment. Don't stick any sharp instrument Into him to see if he is becoming tender. Stir him gently, ching the while lest he should lie close to the saucepan and so be tariteless. You cannot rail to when he is done. If thus treated will find him very digestible, ing nicely et you and the chit ushel of wheat, as an equivaenit t of flour, can be shipped from polis to almost any point in Europe for about 20 cents.

Converted a Hump on Him I'ack Into Steppinf-Stone to Success-Ingenniti of the Prixine in -t!optig Qttre l'rofesslona-3leat Hired Out. The complexity of modern civiliz;t tion is shown in nothing more strik ingly than in the extreme multipliciti 1f pursuits by which men to-day gair a living. In a country village whie supports with difficulty a single bake: or tailor, only the old-fashioned tauu indis.pensable tradcs are pursued; bu1 in Ie great swarming centres of population liku Lo:don and Paris, not only these, h'it a iunlt.itude o! strange, queer, out-of-the-way callings, which. even in towns of half a millior or even a million inhabitants, wouli not give employment to a single hu man being, are followed by scores and even hundreds of men who derivc therefrom not only the means of sub sistence, but in some cases an inde. poendence and even riches. Persons who are familur with the history of popular delusi$ns, which Porson once said -jestingly that lie would write in a work of five hundred volumes, will remetuuec the famous stock-jobbing mania which raged in Paris under thi. inspiration of the Scotch projector and financier, John Law. During the mania the great scene of operations was the Rue Quinquempoix. The business was by law confined to that spot, whither multitudes of mei and women of all ranks and conditions floc:aed to buy shares in Law's bank and Mississippi Ccmpanv, which, though absolutely worthless. rose to twenty times their original price. A IiMP THAT MADE ?TS OWNER FaieII. Desks and writing materials for the transfer of shares were in great de mand, but in a street so densely crowded they were not easily obtain able. In this exigency ahunchbacke.l man let out his protuberance for the ifatuated speculators to scribble upon, and so eager were thoy to use it and so liberally did they pay him that he is said to have made in a few days a hundred and fifty thousand iivres. It was a happy thought that led this man to convert an obstacle into a stepping-stone to sur showed that though b* crooked, his Hundreds of ht e seen the golden tide y them for life without iug of thus profiting by it. Since Law's day Paris has been pro-eminent for the odd pursuits and P.allings of many of its citizens. Of rail the great cities of the world, it is the one in which to-day the most ex traordinary and surprising modes of gaining a living are employed. No ,wherc is keener ingenuity exercised 4turning refuse to account than in huge five of industry, where nothing is wasted. Out of ings of the regular in tolois-dirty rags, olay crusts of sanrd pea making soap bubbles, painting turkeyse feet, retailing lighted fuel, guessing riddles, collecting samples, and act ing as gaardian angel-of only one of which, the last, have we space for an explanation. The guardian angel es tablishes himself in tho outskirts of the city near the wine shops, where he does odd jobs during the day for the shopkeeper, while in the evening he assists iu getting home any of the sons of Bacchus who may have drunk too deeply. In doing this ho must be deaf to all the commands and entrea ties of his charge to let him euter any of the wine shops on the way: he mius; keep him out of broils, guard his per sonal effects, oven iight for him if necessary, and when he cannot be led home, carry hi.n ou his back or wheel him on a barrow. The earnings of these helpers of frail humanity are ridiculously paltry, seldom exceeding f franc or two a night. THE EXPERTNEss 0 ut\IN-TAsrER. One of the out-of-the-way modes of getting a living in London is that prac ticed by the wine-tasters of the Lon don docks. These persons, who are snpposed io have palates of exquisite delicacy, with much knowledge of rwines, hang about the docks, where they are hired by both. dealer and buyers to accompany them to the vaults and give their opinions of the various wines submitted to them for examination. Though they carefully avoid swallowing the wine they taste, yet their calling slowly saps their heith, and they become at an early age physical wrecks. The sensations which they experience in sampling the wines are of the most delicate and subtle nature: it was one of these men who detected the flavor of iron in a pipe of wine into which a shingle nail lad fallen. -Saturday Evening Post.
