THE LATEST FASHIONABLE BEVERAGE
A furnishing store in this city advertised a
new style of cravat as "the latest fashion
for the throat" This may be the latest style
for the outside of that organ, but fashion
for the inside has just come up which is
twice as popular. Somebody has found out
that Scheidam schnapps improves soda
water, and everybody acquiesces in the ar
rangement. Although somewhat conserva-
tive by nature, we are not opposed to pro-
guess, and conceiving it our solemn duty, as
a public journalist, to ascertain whether
Schnapp's soda water was a proper thing to
be recommended to our subscribers, we tried
it. The result may be stated in few words.
The mixture is good to take, and if our
stomach is like stomachs in general it is
congenial to that part of the human organi-
cation. Finally, and to conclude, it
touches the right pot."-Sunday Courier.

METROPOLITAN HOTEL. New YORK
This magnifcently appointed hotel was re-
opened on the last of August under the aus
pieces of Messrs TWEED & GARFIELD, who
succeed the LELAND Brothers in the propre-
torship and management. 1t is without
question the best furnished hotel in New
York. Always popular with the travelling
public by reason of its convenient location,
its admirable ventilation and good manage
ment, it has renewed claims to popular favor
in the elegant appointments of the new re-
gime. Recarpeted from top to bottom and
reiurnished throughout-repainted, refres-
coed and reconstructed generally, without
regard to cost, the old friends of the house,
and they are legion, would scarcely recog-
nize it. Niblos Theatre, it will be renem-
bered, is in this building. Mr.. Tweed, of
the new proprietorship, is son of Senator
Tweed, and young gentleman of genial
manners and frst-class business qualifca-
tons. Mr.. Garfield has been in the hotel
business for several years, and was recently
connected with the Delevan House at Al
bany, New York.

reasoning did not satisfy her, and a
more unhappy little girl never tossed

The next day and for many days,
Lucy thought other falsehOOd with much
uneasiness, but as time went on and
nothing was said about the affair, even
though Mrs. Brown talked with her
mother after ''meetingp several Sum
days, Lucy grew to feel that her wicked
ness was as well hidden as the seeds
that were buried out of sight.
And so it came about that after three
or four weeks, when her mother sent
her on real errand to Mrs. Browns,
Lucy started OFF, without any very
troublesome thoughts of her last visit
TO the farmhouse. But when she came
to the brow of the hill where she could
see the old gray rock in the distance,
the remembrance of her shame quite
stopped her as she was preparing to run
down the long hill. Very slowly and
unwillingly she approached the boulder,
and when she had come quite near, her
little heart gave thrOb of fright; for
there was long green vine ilourishing
on the ground with what looked to her
guilty eyes like the gTeenest leaves and
the yellowest blossoms that ever grew

the flowers, every one Of which, exposed
to the blazing sunlight, looked more
golden, and showed more plainly, than
any she had ever seen. Her sin had in

moments of amaZement had passed
away she took Il solemn resolution: "Pll
never tell another lie as long as | live;
never, not even little bit of one; and
| I'll tell mother all about this one"
| She gave her message TO Mrs. Brown rs
quickly as possible; and then turning
/ hOmeward ran over the stony fields, and
up the high hills in the hot sunshine,
feeling neither fatigue nor heat, nor did
| she rest till the whole story was sobbed
out, her face hidden on her mothers
shoulder.

Receipts.

To C,UI Hdir.-Take two ounces of bO-
raX, one druchm of powdered gum sene-
gal, one quart of hot water mot bOiling);
mix, and, as soon as the ingredients are
dissolved, add two ounces of spirits of
wine strongly impregnated with CAM
phOr; on retiring to rest wet the hair
with the above mixture, and roll it in
papers as usual; leave them till morn
ing, when untwist and form into ring
lets.
To Clear Muddy Wdtcr.-A little dis
solved alum is very effective in clearing
muddy water. If thrown into tub of
soap-suds the soap, cuTdled and accom-
panied by the muddy particles, sinks to
the bottom, leaving the water above
clear and pure. In times of scarcity of
water this may be used again for wash
ing clothes.
To Clean Black CIOth.-Dissolve one
ounce of biearbonate of ammonia in one
quart of warm water. With this liquid
rub the cloth, using piece of flannel or
black cloth for the purpose. After the
application of this solution, clean the
cloth well with clear water, dry and iron
/ IT, brushing the cloth from time in the
direction of the fiber.
Paste that ,0iH Keep q Year.-Dissolve
a tea-spOonful of alum in quart of warm
water. When cold, stir in flour to give
it the consistency of thick cream, being
particular TO beat up all the Jumps. StiI
In as much powdered resin as will lay
on silver dime, and throw in half .
dozen cloves. Have on the fire tea-cuT
of boiling water; pour the flour mixture
into it, stirring well all the time. In 6
few minutes it will be the consistency o.
mush. Pour it into an earthen or chins
vessel; let it cool; lay a cover on anC
put it in cool place. When needed fol
use take out portion and soften it witt
warm water.

experience writes as follows: There i
no absolute safety from moths except
ing in the absolute exclusion of the mil
Ter. If put away early in the season.
before the millers make their appear
