> A Remarkable Trio.

A ST. Petersburg correspondent OF
the Hartford Post probably Minister
JewelD thus speaks of the late royal
marriage in Russia.
"The most striking trio of all were
the three Processes the future
Queen Of England, another her sister,,
the future Empress of Russia, and the
third the sister-in-law of the frst-the
future Empress of Germany. The
faces Of all three expressed gentleness,
intelligence and refinement. The
Grand Duchess Marie wore a dress OF
silver heavily embroidered, and from
her shoulders hung train of claret-
colored velvet, lined and edged with
ermine. On her head was tiara and
a small crown Of diamonds, from which
hung a point lace veil on her neck the
largest diamond necklace in Russia,
composed of large perfect diamonds,
each with a large drop attached, the
whole valued at twenty millions of dol
lars. The front of her waist was cover
ed with diamonds, and down the front
OF her dress were rows of pearls. The
bridegroom wore the uniform of Rus
sian officer. The dress and train of the
Empress were of gold cloth, her tiara
and jewels, sapphires and diamonds
The Grown Princesses wore velvet
trains embroidered in gold, and their
levels were only surpassed by those Of
the bride"

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
White sTuderclOth,

The Herald Of Health recommends
white underclothing, as not only more
healthful, but on account of it's not
radiating the heat Of the body as some
other colors do. Another strong incen-
tive is the avoidance of possible poison
ing, resulting from deleterious dyes.
The Journal of Chemistry gives an in
stance Of the poisonous effect of ami
line colors upon the skin in the expert
ence Of a gentleman of Byfeld. He
had a few days previous purchased some
new undershlrts Of Gotten cOlored with
various tints, among which aniline red
predominated. In a short time after
putting on the garment peculiar erup-
ton, of an irritating nature, appeared
Oh the portion Of the body covered by
the cloth The effects were not merely
local, but to a considerable extent con-
stitutional, pain and uneasiness being
experienced in the back and lower ex-
tremeties. In proof that the eruption
was caused by dye colors, it may be
stated that portion of the garment
about the upper part of the chest was
lined on the under side, and wherever
this came In contact with the skin no
eruption OF redness appeared. It is not
probable, the Journal remarks, that the
number of persons is large who possess
such idiosyncracies of constitution as to
be easily poisoned by dye colors, but
that there are some does not admit of a
doubt.

A Novel Torpedo.

Torpedo experiments still continue at
the Royal Arsenal, but are at present
confined to Whitehead's fish torpedo.
This is made Of steel, is about eight
feet long, eighteen inches in diameter
at the centre, and tapers off to point
at each end at the tail end there is a
three-bladed screw propeller, worked
by an engine inside the body, and a
four-bladed rudder to steer it in the
direction it is intended to go. It is
constructed in three parts the head
contains the rocket, which being charg-
ed with gun cotton when required for
actual service, is fired by conclusion
with the enemy's ship, and intended to
blow up the vessel. The tail end is a
chamber which holds the compressed
air to work the engines, and in the
middle portion is placed the engine,
with a pair of cylinders. These torpe-
does are subjected to the test of 1,2OO
pounds pressure to the square inch be-
fore they are pronounced safe for use.
Observation-Disclosures precaution, one of
them recently exploded while being ex-
perimented with at the arsenal, infict-
ing the most destructive results to pro-
perty and loss of life. The torpedoes
are intended to be discharged from a
tube in the bow of the ship, and are
expelled by means of piston, at the
rate of ten miles an hour in a straight
line for the object sought to be de-
strOyed.

Useful Recipes.

HAM Toast. Chop some lean ham,
put it In a pan, with little pepper, a
lump Of butter, and two eggs, beaten !;
when well warmed spread it on hot but
tered toast, and serve.
TEA CAKE.-One cup white sugar,
half a cup butter, one cup sweet milk,
one egg, one-half teaspoonful soda, one
of cream tatar, and -four enough to
make it like soft gingerbread. Flavor
with the juice of small lemon. This
makes a good-sized loaf.
FILTER FOR CIsTERN WATER. Perfor-
ate the bottom Of a wooden box with a
number Of small holes place inside a
piece of flannel covered with coarsely-
powdered charcoal, over this coarse riv-
er sand, and on this small pieces of
sandstone.
DANDRUFF.- one asks, what
will remove and prevent dandrutf from
coming in a ladys head? A friend of
mine says she takes little borax add
ed to a pint of water, and washes her
head occasionally with it. often add
little borax or cooking soda to the
rain water when wash my hair brush
es. It cleanses them NIGEL y.-RUTH, IN
Country Gentleman.
How TO PREPARE COFFEE. French
cooks say good coffee cannot be made
by boiling; it must be leached; the
aroma and flavor Of the coffee goes off
in the steam if it is boiled. The ground
coffee must be put in a vessel that is
like fine sieve in the bottom, pour
boiling water on this and as soon as it
passes through it is fit for use and if
not used Immediately should be placed
where it will simply keep hot and not
boil We give this for the benefit of
hygienists, for they will not use coffee,
but to those who still feel they must take
coffee, we would say, if you must have it,
make it in the best way.-Jom7aal Of
Health.
To CLEAN SWANS DowN.--Take out
the lining and wash the collar in warm
water with soap, handling it as any
delicate fabric; rinse in warm water
thoroughly and hang it out doors to
dry, it giving occasionly gentle shake
while drying. Another way is to use white
hard soap suds lay a part of the col
lar on one hand and dip the water over
with the other, passing the hand very
gently over the fur one aUay each time.
When perfectly dry shake WE'LL to sep
arate any portions of the down that
may cling together.
BLEACHING DIscoLoRED FLANNEL.
It is found by Prof. Artus that flannel
which had become yellow by lying for
some time, when treated with solu-
ton of one half pound of Marseilles
soap in fifty pounds Of soft water with
the addition of one-third of all ounce
of ammonia, and subsequently rinsed:
is much improved in appearance. The
bleaching is more quickly accomplish
ed by soaking the article an hour in a
dilute solution Of acid sulphite of soda,
then stirring i'll dilute dydrochloric
acid fifty parts water to one of acid,
covering the vessel and allowing it to
remain quarter of an hour, and after
ward thoroughlyrinse the articles.
FACTS WORTH REMEMBERING.-For
removing grease spots from any fabric,
use ammonia nearly pure, then lay
white blotting paper over the spot, and
! iron lightly.

New Soda.

A new process for the manufacture of
soda has lately been adopted in Eng
land, which is regarded by Wagner as
likely to replace all former methods,
and effect a revolution in those indus
tries in which this important salt is
used The process may be briefly de-
scribed as follows: "To a concentra-
ted solution of marine or common salt
bicarbonate of ammonia is added. In
the reaction that takes place, bicarbon-
ate of soda is precipiteted, chloride of
ammonium remaining in solution. By
treating this solution with lime, the
ammonia is isolated in the usual way.
and can be agaiu used. The bicarbon-
ate of soda is, freed from it's extra
equivalent of carbonic acid by heat,
leaving the salt as simple carbonate,
while the carbonic acid set free is com
bined with the ammonia. and the re-
sultant chloride is again used as in the
first instance.

Significant Facts Regard ing Infants

Under the most favorable circum-
stances, where mothers nurse their own
offspring, only about ten per cent. die
under one year of age ; but where the
bottle is used, the mortality is con-
stantly increased. The death rate Of
infants in cities is much larger than in
the country; in fact, it is often twice as
large. If the whole population is in
cluded, it is found that mortality Of
infants, under one year of age, ranges
from fifteen to twenty-five per cent. of
all that are born in a given time. 1t will
be readily seen that there is wide
margin in the prospects of life between
the foundlings and the healthy infrnt
of good parentage. The statistics on
this subject vary in different places and
at different times, but everywhere this
difference exists, and IN some cases 1t
is extreme. Thus, we are told on the
authority OF long experience, that OF
those nursed by the bottle in the care
of other persons than their mothers,
oftentimes only about ten percent. Live
to the age Of one year; whereas, OF the
infants who are fed from the bottle in
care of their mothers, seventy per cent.
i've TO one year OF age. LII mas also Deen
found that, of those nursed at the
breast by others than the mother, only
% per cent. lived. At the New York
Infant Asylum, where great care and
pains have been taken, this result was
obtained of those infants nursed by
hired women, carefully selected and in
spected, % per cent. died, but Of those
nursed by their own mothers only II
per cent. died. This fact shows the
Importance of the maternal relation.

The WOman's Paper in Italy.

ella Donna" is a fortnightly paper
of sixteen pages, published in Venice,
and edited by Gualberta Beccari, wo-
man crippled and unable to walk; it's
contributors are exclusively italian wo-
men, and it's main ''cause'' is that of
education. Poor working girls and
women of wealth and noble birth alike
write for it, and are in sympathy. Sig
nora Beccari has just written her sixth
annual address, and asks for liberty of
action, education, admission to work on
equal terms, &C., and her arguments
are those which have solong beenpress-
ed upon the people here. "Thus," she
says, eve may be emancipated from
dependence on others, and so be free to
marry solely for love, not for conve-
nience, interest, or necessity Then will
the family be worthy the name of home
Meantime, apostles of such glorious
truths, we must be prepared for the
crown of martyrdom, which is always
the reward of the advocates of theories
OF innovation on established order; and
we must not be surprised at the hatred
and misconception of the very persons
for whose welfare we are working with
such unwearied efforts and such gener-
Gus interest. Let us go on unfinching-
ly IN our work. Let education be in
scrlbed on our banners Education is
magical seed, which holds within it
the germ of all nobler and higher life
From it will spring a new social order.
And IN the future, not very far distant,
lies victory and the emancipation of
woman"

The Vacant Frame.

Dim, dusty and duh IS the good old frame,
Where a jolly Cnum once stood
And played his part with manly heart,
In the struggle for daily food.
The cheerful tale and the merry laugh
Are gone to another sphere,
Where Fortune smile, though hid for a while
His heart once more shall cheer.
Mallet. shooter, and p.aner ring forth his name,
And his shadow keeps watch at the vacant frame
Not an item remains but recalls to mind
The happy days gone by;
The slippers SO worn, the apron so torn,
And even the very pi.
Full oft at his old broken galley gaze,
As it tJmbles about the floor
And in its state can read the fate
OF the labor-wasted poor.
Here pointless bodkin meets the view;
There space box. wrecked and torn;
pillaged case. . three-legged chase,
And sponge as hard as horn.
The dear old spot to dreary waste
Is changed III single day,
And the place once bright looks Ozark as night,
Disorder holding sway.
That shattered drawer, once kept with care,
Now wears dismal look;
A stick without side lies side by Size
With part Of walkers book:
And old brass rules, and broken leads,
And session sorts and blanks,
Both night and Gay, keep the mice at play
With their merry. wanton pranks.
But Time in his woodworking ways,
May quickly change the scene;
And the case now duh may soon be full
OF all sorts, fat and lean.
Yet much that / wish that happier days
On Lightning wings may come,
IL grief or glee. my prayer shall be
Success to the dear old chum.
