Potted meat or grouse or chick may be served in the same way, but these need red pepper to make them sufficiently savory. Tablecloths should be ironed with the greatest care. so Ilnt three folds appear on the table. the mildle one running down the centre of the table. The leundreee must be taught this art of having her folds even. else no table will look well. And the dis- tances between the folds must be exact, and at a correct distance from the edge of the table. Sugar has been denounced by modern chemists M a substance the effects of which in dyspopfics are deplorable. A writer in the Malicin Praciirivn. however, does not partake of these fem-e. He cites the case or a dyspeptic doctor, who. for (By Aunt Karel Economy in the Pantry. In households where the number of the inmates makes it imperative that every- thing should be turned to the best account, the system of collecting all available rem- nants of food, and adapting them skilfully for future meals. will oftentime make a considerable ditference in the weekly expenses. But for this to be done efisctu. ally. the mistress must see into the busi- ness herself. as domestics are for the most part prone to waste. and to regard scraps of every sort as odsl. Without doubt. the housewife, beside selecting and sorting the remains herself, will haveâ€"at least, in the beginning of her systemâ€"to show how such unoonsidered triflss can be utilized. She must sort, trim and prepare her scraps, whether of meat. bread, vege- tables. or what not. with her own fair hands, demonstrating practically how the potato pie. the hot-pot, the vol-au-vent, the curry. the stew. the Russian salad. the bread pudding. etc. are to be made, and to illustrate in her own person how such things. albeit partly or wholly composed of remains, are good to eat. by eating them herself and making her children do the same. Young ladies just beginning married life find themselves suddenly placed at the head of an establishment of their own, and it is just at this starting oint that it is so desirable that they sbou d begin as they mean to go on. If. therefore. they make it clearly understood. in engaging their eer- vants. what the general conduct of the household is to be. there should be com. paratively little difliculty. among Well dis. posed people. In the young mistress obtaining complete command and co-opera- tion. and of haviu’g her wishes carried out. even With regard to scraps. Let her once show by example that her wholesome and reasonable thrift is expected to bethe order of the day. and that such thrift does not imply parsimony or meanness. and she will overcome many prejudices and be able to lay her head on the pillow at night with‘ the full consciousness that there is no unholy waste going on.

The sauce is made of butter and sugar beaten ton cream, with which a large cupful of the berries, thoroughly mashed, should also be beaten till the whole is thoroughly mixed. A wet cloth hung in an open window will cool the air of a. room materially. It will afford no little comfort in a sick room. A basin of fresh water is also a. good cooler. Spread the table lightly and freshly on hot days. Fruit. berries or fresh salads are more sppetizing for breakfast than heavy or hot dishes. Boiled or broiled fish is more palatable and less heating than most. Great care should be taken not to reduce the strength by too great abstinence from food. Light food may be selected. which will give sufficient nourishment to the body. and. at the same time give the digestive organs enough to do to keep them busy. ‘ Pull or buy your peas in the morning.

This allows the air to circulate around the figure and permits the addition of a. thin under- waist when re uired on cooler days. She also says that annals thicker than gauze. which are nearly all cotton, only tend to make the wearer uncomfortable and less hardy. The pleated dress of Turkey red calico grows in favor for children for seaside and country use.

A useful novelty for holding the large corsage bouquets that are now fashionable is called the bouquet pin, and consists of a plain bar of gold or of silver protruding in the middle to make room for the stems of the flowers. and attached to the diess by a. pin and oleep like that of any brooch.

The exercise of a little ingenuity will when help one to accomplish wonders. See what can be done in one way: Cards for ‘birthdays and other holidays can be arranged as handsomely as many very costly ones. by selecting two which are of exactly the same size and whose designs go well together. Fringe some silk or ribbon to any depth you choose, and paste neatly to the edge of one of the cards. “'hen it is dry. so you see that. it is all evenly pasted down, paste the other card to it. If you wish to add a. small cord and two tassels. they are easily made from a few skeius of embroidery silk. To secure the fringed ribbon to the card, use apaste made of lumps of gum arnbie dissolved in just as little water as it is possible to use. It should be four or five times thicker than ordinary mucilage. White bounets prevail [or dress this summer. Linen collars are already getting uu03m~ fortable.

One of the most singular incidents that we have recorded in a long time occurred at I’atsalsga Creek. in Talbot County, and not very far from Howard station. Mr. Wm. Heath was driving snow and a young calf along the road. and when they came to the creek the cow stopped in order to drink. On the opposite aide of the creek and a few feet oil stood a. large ram. As the cow was drinking she would frequently lift up her head as if she was uneasy about the calf. The ram took this as absnter for a fight, and, walking up near the cowI reared up and gave her a butt centrally in the head and killed the cow almost instantly. Mr. Heath ran up. thinking that the cow would soon recover, as he thought she was only stunned. but in this he was mistaken. as it was a death stroke. â€"Columbus (Gm) Enquirer.

In Cincinnatti an important decision has been given in regard to the rights of reporters. From a meeting of the School Trustees twojournalists were ejected. and because they published a summary of the proceedings without permission. having from an upper chamber heard the debate, were forbidden admission to subsequent meetings. One of them entered the room despite orders to the contrary, and was violently removed by the messenger, who was summoned before the Police Court and fined for assault.

The reputation of the late mar- quis became ultimately so bad that Lord Palmerston’s taking him into his Govern- ment as Postmaster-General undoubtedly had much to do with its fall by outraging public decency, but in Galway he was as popular as it he had possessed all the car- dinal virtues; perhaps. indeed. in that case he would not have been popular at all. He was a splendid rider; went at stone walls like O’Malley himself; had a glib and oily tongue, and during his tenure of the Post~0flice filled every nook and corner‘ with Galwegians, many of his appointees‘ being credited with a very near relationship ‘ to their noble patron. ‘ AUTOCBATIC ucnooL TRUSTEES.

Among the mechanical pursuits carried on to a considerable extent in Chicago that of the tinner's boy is by no means the least. It is true that most of the tinware sold in this city is manufactured elsewhere. but notwithstanding this fact the business here is one of considerable importance and employs a large number of hands. A Tribune reporter in the course of his researches into the question of apprenticeship ran across a tinner of many years‘ experience in the business and asked him for facts in connection with the trade. He said that the trade. like almost all others, was in the hands of foreigners. a majority of the journeymen being Germans. There were a good many workmen of American birth. but those were men who had picked up their trade as they went along. and had served no regular apprenticeship to it. Boys were not em- ployed. except an roustabouts, and the employers had to depend on the coustant supply of new arrivals from Europe to keep up their lists of men. The speaker belieVed that a systemâ€"any system in factâ€"which would secure to boys an edu- cation in some useful trade. and give em- ploYers some assurance that the boys would remain steady at their work for a fixed and definite period. would be a most desirable innovation on the present state of affairs. But he had little hope of the introduction of any such system. for there seemed to be a terrible disinclinaticn on the part of the lads, whether of American or foreign-born parents, to bind themselves to a trade. They all wanted to be clerks. and work in stores. and he could not see where the future American mechanic was to come from.â€"-Uhicuyo Tribune. Sudden Death oi Mr. Thou.
