A famous florist hag produced a variety with fringed petals which 3 much sought. ‘The first double petvunta3 are also the product of this country; and so popular have they become that the florists sell millions of plants every year. The single varie'tes seed plentifully, and when hybridized with the double varieties produce many new varieties. But the quickest way to grow double petuntas is by cuttings, which shouid be taken from the fresh shoots when they break easily from the Plant, and single varieties can be propagated in the season. Take the slip off just below a j pint, and remove the lower ieaves, then set the sn00. firmly into wet sand; donot let more than feur leaves remaiu upon the slip and nip off all inelpient buds so as to make two shoots grow from the top. Keep it shaded from the sun for three or four days. As soon as the rootlets are Well developed take it from the sand and er either In the border, or in a pot where it will bloom all winier.

When all the guests are assembled, where the number is large, the hostess often asks each teman to take down the lady whose seat is nex. to his at table; though it is more correct (a luncheon not being 80 formal as a dinner) for the com- pany to go down irregularly. A small paper Menu, bearing the guest’s name on one side, 1s usually put. by each place, or a very tiny card, with the name plainly written on it, is 1: before it, and people wander along until they find their seat, or it 1s pointed out to them; ‘this, though it sounds confusing, is not so in sn reality. Tn ‘table ts tet ‘ly as for dinner, and the menu differs little from that of the later meal, except that soup is not always given; the number of dishes and of courses 1s smaller, and the food rather lighter in quality.

Filets de saumon a la Joinville. Supreme de volallie aux truffes, Gigot de mouton. Macedoine de legumes. Creme vanille aux marrons, Gelee au Maras- quin. Desert.” It is usual to have two dishes of everything prepared, and the two footmen pass down the sides of the table simultaneously, beginning each time at a different point; thus, if the soup Started on the left at the host's end, and on the Tight at the hostess’s, the fish would reverse this and starton the left from the hostess, and on the right from the master. The butler stands at @ side table and serves the soup, fish, &:., to the footmen. ‘these three men never leave the room; the dishes are brought to and carried from the room by underservanta. Where there is no serving room attached to the dining-room ‘Screen is usually placed before the door used for this purpose, a8 it has to be kept open. As e£00n as the guest has finished witn his plate it Js removed and a fresh plate, knife and fork are placed before him. During each course the butler passes areund with the appropriate wine. Now a word as to the manner of eating dit- ferent things which we have noticed in Eng- Jand which seems often to trouble Americans accustomed to a different method at home, In eating soup it is now the custom to take it up with the side of the spoon furthest from you, and to ft it out toward the edge of the plate that 1s furthest from you, thus making the Whole motion from and not toward you. It also quite custo! to Sind lift your soup Plate in order to assist in ig your spoon, but. this must be tilted away trom you by slightly lifting the side next to you, never by Upping {t toward you. The whole effect of the outward motion of the hand and ht curve in bringing it to the mouth is undoubtediy more graceful and not 80 looking as the Inward scoop. For fish it ig universally the custom to have silver fish knives, thus avoiding the piece of breaa with which one used to eke out the fork. We have often seen Ameri- caps who have not been long in Londo! chasing after a piece of fish with fork and bread, their fish knife idly reposing beside their plate, they thinking it a dessert knife. ‘The Engiish also use the ordinary knifo and fork differently from Americans, as Charles Read has noticed. Here the fork ig never chan; to the right hané. Vegetables and such things are carried to the mouth by the fork in the left hand, the knife in the it band cut the meat and aiding in putting the vegetables on the fork. Entré2s such, as Sweetbread, croquettes, and such soft dishes are eatea with the fork alone, and it is.hen used by the right hang; but where knife and fork are employed, the former is never laid down in order to take the latter in the right hand. Pudding, je! creams, etc., are eaien with a fork when at all possibie, thouzh some- times both fork and spoon (which are always brought for them) are used together. After them come salad, biscuits (what we call crack- ers), but:er and chees>. A dish divided into three compartments is usually provided for the three last-named articles; the putter is in tin} ttle rolls, and the cheese 1s cut into very small dice, After this course the dessert is passed round; plates holding the finger glasses, con- taining a very ilttle water, and Festing upon square doyleys about as large as the middle of tue plate, are Lape before the guests; upon ‘these are also the dessert Knife and fork and a silver pick, if nuts are on the table. When ices are pigs @giass ice plate matching the Mager bow] is placed upon the china plate, and a spoon accompanies the knife and fork. When the ice is brought round, the guest removes the poe, &c., and lifts out the doyley and bowl, which he laces besides his plate. After the fruit, nute, bons, &c., have been handed round, the servants place the decanters of various wines, spirits, &c., on the table in front of the host, and leaves the room, and after a longer or shorter period the party breaks up, gentlemen and ladies rising together and passing into the Grawing room, where coffee fs at once brought in. Some of the guests do not retura to the drawing room, as the time for afternoon en- gagements is approaching, and they must econ- omize their moments. Tnose who do remain do not seat themselves, but stana and chat fora few moments before taking thelr departure, cloaking themselves in the hall before leaving. ‘Mrs. JULIAN Hawrnorne.

The other morning while Mr. Cole, the pro- prietor of the approaching circus and menage- nie of that name, was picking his teeth on the steps of that excellent circus hotel, the Russ House, & tall, sun burned, baldheaded man, with pine burrs in his clothes and a stick of gassa- fras in his mouth, approached and sald: “Be you the wild animal man, mister?” ‘The proprietor of the ‘Double Mammoth Mas- ous ggregation” admitted that such was tne 13 act. “Then,” proceeded the man from the moun- tains, “I think I'll get you to make me an offer for a large-sized California lion I’ve got.” “Good specimen. eh?” asked the circus man. “Good? Well, I should say so. Measures eleven feet from the tp of his nose to the tip of his tail. Caught him myself when a cub. Just four years old to-morrow.” “Hum- appetite?”. “Appetite?

A Novel Enterprise and How It is Managed. [Correspondence Zanesville Courter.) SPRING VALLEY, MINM., sune 14, 1952, A CREAMERY. The readers of New York market reports This is collected dally (except course cream. Sundays), by “routes.” THE ROUTES are arranged along weil traveled roads, and as far as practicable throughout the most popa- lous districts. Farmers who desire to sell their cream are furnished with wooden tanks— boxes sub-divided into three compartmen! and cooling paus of tin eaca Sigxi4 inches ani 20 Inches deep. These cooling will con- tain from 40 to 70 nds of milk. Creamery peonte know no gallons or quarts A gallon o1 ik, however, weighs avout seven aod one-half pounds. After the mUk 13 “strained cf into the cooling pans, the pans are placed in the wooden tank and the top of the cooling pan removed, to allow the animal heat to es- Feduced, the tightly Ato; TOD on noe and zednoed, chee i top 13 rep! an A stream of cold water turned into the tank. If the farmer draws his supply of water from a well with a wind twill, the stream is allowed to pass through the tank which keeps the milk at a temperature of 45 dog. to 50 deg. The cream rises to the top slowly, and in twelve hours at this season of the year, the butter making globules have risen to the top and the cream is ready for THE SKIMMERS. Each of the “routes,” from 15 to 25 miles io length, owing to the topography of the country, isin charge of a Skimmer, who travels about with a light two horse oe a] carrying s:x tin tanks each of thirty capacity. The gauge on the side of the “cool- ing pan” shows the farmer aad the represen- tative of the creamery the value of the pro- duct. The cream is sold by the inch; for in- stance, the gauge on the pan shows one anda half inches—by their system of graduation means one and 8 half pounds of butter. Just now butter is worth at the stores 15 cents par und, and so the Creamery pays 15 cents Inch. Or, im other words, it 1s estimated that 119 cubic inches of cream will make one pound of butter. The Skimmer removes the cream from the farmer's Can, transfers it to his re- ceiving tank and goes bis way, arriving at the Creamery in the evening. farmer has sold the product of his at THE MARKET PRICE for butter, and the ladies of the household es- cape the labor and annoyance of manufactar- ing the cream Into butter and then traveling over the prairiesto “their trading place.” By actual experiment It has been demonstrated that while 119 Inches of cream produces a und of butter at the Creamery, the av: farmer's wife, owing to the lack of proj clitties, obtains an ounce or two less. 8 art of producing prime butter begins after the Sweet cream has been removed from the mlik. The proprietors of the Creamery pay cash twice & month, and the price ts regulated very lergely by the Eastern butter markets. THE SPRING VALLEY CREAMERY™ 1s a fair type of similar establishments in many sections of this country, rendered ne- cessary by the repeated faflure'of the crops. The building is a piain substantial frame structure, two stories in height,and arranged with 1 reference to insuring the utmost cleanliness. The floors “dip” to the center, where light drains receive and conduct to the reservoirs outside, all waste material A small engine furnishes the power for propell- ing the machinery. cream after being received from the “Skimmers” is emptied into a huge reservoir, tin lined, with acapacity of ‘six hundred gallons.
