Artificial Nursing.
Dr. Frederick M. Warner, visiting phy
sician of the outdoor department of Bel-
levue host ital at New York, gays that after
careful trial and study of all kinds of food
designed for the rearing of children who
have been deprived of maternal nourish•
meat, he has oome bank to cow's milk,
properly prepared, ea the best subbitute for
mother's milk at our command. He onuses
the milk consumed by the artificially
reared children under hie Dare to be pre.
pared by putting into an ordinary cooking-
steamer a couple of inches of water whioh
is brought to the boiling point, and the milk
which is to be the infant's allowance for 24
limn is placed in as many nursing bottles as
are to be used during that time. The bet
dee brave previously been placed in oven for
a quarter of an hour. When the milk is put
in them they are stopped with cotton wool
and placed on the perforated plate in the
steamer, not touching each other, the cover
is shut tightly and the whole ie permitted to

germs are destroyed, and the milk, if left
stoppered in a cool place will keep a long
time. The dootor„has found it perfectly
sweet and good after five weeks.
For feeding, the wool oork is removed,
lime.water and sugar of milk are added, a

Hints on Summer House -keeping.
Ib is en easy matter generally to decide
whether berries are fresh or stale ; if stale,
they are withered, or show signs of decay,
if fresh the color is bright and clear, the
berry firm and perfect in shape.
The stems on peas and beans should he
green and tender, if dry and shriveled they
are stale; the leaves and stems of beets
sbould be perfectly fresh, and the roots firm
and crisp,
Asparagus should have frob purpel pe.nt
and think, white, tondo
The flowers of cauliflowers Mode be
Dreamy white and the leaves green end
fresh ; if the loaves are wilted, or there are
dark ;pots on the head, it is not good.
Good new potatoes are firm to the touch;
if unripe they will wilt in a few days and
are unfit to eat.
The stalk of the cabbage should be en-
tirely sound, the leaves fresh and crisp and
free from decay,
Fresh onoembers are crisp and deep
green or green and white in Dolor, not green
and yellow.
It ie better to wait for corn until it can
be obtained from the vicinity in which we
live, for ib should bo cooked the same day
as gathered ; the grains should be plump
and full and the milk should spurt out
when pierced with the nail.

Duelling,
Beoause the practice of duelling is both
sinful and absurd, lb is nob to be auppoeed
that even at this day, when men carefuliy
avoid what they think foolish, though they
may not ogre o oonbinental if a whole College

the North Ib has been very effectively buf•
totted out of exiabonce by the fiat of tbelaw,
and not less effeobively by ridionle. But in
the South men are still to be found who try
to settle difference of opinion by seeking to
take one another's lives. The papers, for
example, tell of two young men in Texas,
who quarrelled about some girl while they
were going home from a party. Nothing
but blood would do, and forthwith they en-
gaged in a desperate fight with bowie knives,
the result being that one foolish youth was
very speedily killed outright and the other
was dangerously wounded. Ab a certain
plane in Mieeourl also, during the cone of a
base ball game whioh was being played for
the benefit' of bbe Johnstown sufferers, two
of the players gob into a dispute, and almost
into a fight). The next morning one of them,
a doctor, sent two of his friends, in the
regular romance style, to bha other man,
to arrange time and plane for a duel, as in
his opinion only in that way could the
satisfaction due from one gentleman to
another be obtained.

Surprises for the Shah in Paris.
A Paris letter to the London " World "
says:—After the splendour of his lodgings
at St. Petersburg, the Shah will doubbless
turn up hie Persian nose ab the modest
house that is being prepared for his nom
tion by the French Government in the Rue
Coperniei, It is the house recently occupied
by the amiable Gen. Guzman Blanco, a com-
fortable dwelling such as the Chicago pork -
packers are in the habit of hiring when they
come to spend a few months in Paris, but it
has no palatial features and nothing to im-
press the Oriental eye. It will be curious to
read the Shah's diary during his stay in Paris.
When he lase visited the Frenob capital he
wasmuoh struck by the fickleness ofthePeris-
tans and by their love of change, and also
by their extreme indulgence in nob strangl-
ing the chiefs and Ministers who had ceased
to give satisfaction. Thus, finding Marshal

Shah .could not be induced to believe that
Theirs was still alive until' he saw the little
man in the materiality of flesh, clothes, and
epeobaoiee. This time he will doubtless feel
astonished when he sees two abide of widely
different temperament—MaoMahon and
Gravy—both living quietly without fear of
strangulation, while an obscure gentleman
of Persian type and name-Sedi Carno—
sits upon the throne, tranquil and linear,
like a mathematical formula.
