A Defense of the Pull-Backs.

The cheap wit which usually expends
itself upon some part of women's dress
has found a mine in the tied-back skirt
which has been most industriously
worked. The point with the critics is
the indecency of a style which indicates
so much of the outline of a woman's
form; but from this point of view there
is no reason whatever for the structures.
| Why is a woman's form any more indie
cOrus than that of a mans? And why
should not a dress outline the form it
covers? If it does not, what is the OBJ
ject of a form at all? And why should
beauty in design or art itself be cult
vated2 Twenty-Five years ago the wo-
| men wore an enormous mass of skirts
which rendered them shapeless and oc-
| casloned them great trouble and incOn-
| venience. To preserve a necessary and
| barrel-like absence of form hoop skirts
were invented, the first of which were
from four to five yards around, and with
dresses over them and a woman inside
of them, occupying the width of a broad
city sidewalk, and six (three on side)
in street car. Dress then was attacked
and lampooned for concealing the form !;
in the days of the first Empire were re-
called, and the classic taste of the En-
press Josephine, and the ladies of the
renowned French salon commented up
on. Goldfish wanted display, wanted to
spread itself, and ought to have been
sent abroad to study paintings and
sculpture, the works of the old masters
and the principals of all modern art, in
order to get ideas not utterly disgraceful
to modern civilization. Well, Goldfish
went abroad. Whether that had any,
thing to do with getting rid of hoops
and the more recent studies of form as
applied to dress, matters not We have,
at least, got rid of hoops, and we have
got dress that is not as obtrusive; that
is neither too straight nor scant nor OBJ
Jectionable in these respects as the low
necked, shOrt-sleeved dress of the seven
teenth century; that has, on the con-
trary, possibilities of beauty, grace and
elegance, if the wearer or her modiste is
an artist and knows how to take advan-
tage of them. We have dress which is
often stupidity covered with trimming
and ridiculOusly made up of parts which
have no relationship to each other, but
that is inevitable and on the other side
we have gradually obtained public
opinion which is stronger and more per-
manent than fashion, which gives dark
or neutral colors and almost uniformly
solid fabrics for the street, which en-
forces the necessity of restricting street
costumes to limits that will not obtrude
upon the rights of others in the street
cars or elsewhere. No style of dress
could be invented that silly girls and
silly women would not exaggerate-a
fool always carries with him his cap and
bells-but why a dress composed of
several skirts beneath, should be con-
sidered improper, even though tied back,
while the single trowser passes for highly
proper, it would puzzle lawyer to de-
termine

THE QUEENS Own ENGLIsH;-Col. j.
w. Forney comes to the rescue of Amer
leans who are ridiculed by Englishmen
for their nasal twang. He writes in one
of his London letters: 'Iet me admit
ut the start that there is nothing more
delightful than the conversation of an
educated Englishman or EngIishwoman;
but the moment that you pass from their
circle you are assailed at every quarter
by mingling of dialects, and in many
cases a most incomprehensible jargon.
| often find it difficult to understand an
English clergyman, and it is the common
remark of Americans who visit the
theatres that they lose a large portion OF
the play in consequence of the rapid and
indistinct enunciation of actors in subor-
dinate parts. The same observation may
be made with justice of most of the
the speakers in the house of commons.
Take out Mr. Disraeli, Mr.. Gladstone,
Mr.. Bright, and few more, and it is
next to impossible to comprehend what
nearly all the Others say"

CHOICE RECIPES

APPLE JELLY-First. Prepare the APP
pies as for drying; crush them in a port
able cider mill, and squeeze out the
juice. Make the jelly the same day the
1 apples are pared. Put the juice into a
proclaim kettle, boil it rapidly twenty
minutes, then add a pound of the very
best coarse-grain granulated sugar, to
every pint of juice Boil three minutes
longer, and dip into glasses. The pulp
may be stewed and canned. Second
Peel and quarter the apples, put them
in preserving kettle, and for every
pint of apples allow pint of water.
Cook gently until they are ready to fall
apart, then strain through a jelly-bag or
colander, and add to the liquor its weight
of sugar. Boil as for other jellies. If
sweet apples are used the juice of lemons
should be added to give an acid taste,
the jelly. The pulp may be used for
pies Oh sauce.
SWEET PICKLEs.-These are made from
pears, peaches, plums, apples, and other
fruit as well as from watermelon rinds,
the fieshy part of ripe cucumbers, etc.
The material is cooked in water until
soft enough for a straw to pass easily,
and when cool placed in a jar with few
cloves stuck in each. To each seven
pounds of fruit take three pounds brown
sugar, one quart vinegar, four ounces
cinnamon, and two ounces cloves. Boil
the vinegar, sugar and spices together
for a few minutes, and pour over the
fruit. Repeat the boiling for three days
in succession, and put away for use.
PRESERVING CTTRoN.-Pare the cit
ron, and cut in small slices, not exceeding
a quarter of an inch in thickness; re-
move all the seeds, weigh and put them
in alum water for two for three hours
then pour the alum water off, and boil i'm
clean water until you can pierce them
with Il straw. Then make a syrup, al
lowing three-fourths of a pound of sugar
to pound of citron; place your citron |
in this syrup, and cook the same as you |
do any other preserves. Just before tax |
ing from the stove slice two or three |
lemons according to the quantity of |
preserves you have), then let them cook |
a minute longer, and they are ready for /
use or to put away. IF cooked down too
strong, the preserves will become candied |
after awhile. Some omit the lemon, but |
think it adds greatly to their appear

The India Rubber Tree,

| The India rubber tree is found in parts
of Mexico, Central and South America,
and in the East Indies, and is one of the
noblest and most picturesque of all the
forest. In Assam, beyond the Ganges, it
is found in inexhaustible abundance 1t
| Is either solitary, or in two or three fold
groups is large and outrageous, and
may be distinguished from other trees at
Il distance of several miles by the strik-
| ing beauty of its dense and lofty crown
! The main trunk of one of the Assam
trees measured "A feet in circumference,
and the area covered by its expanded
branches had a circumference of Go feet
The height of the central tree was 100
| feet. 1t has been estimated that there
| are over $4,000 such trees in one district
within an area of thirty miles by eight.
1t grows on the slopes of the mountains
| from the valleys up to an elevation of
1000 feet. The raw seeds are poisonous
to man and quadrupeds but macaws eat
them, and they are used as bait for fish.
Long boiling deprives them of their
poison.
A large proportion of the quantity of
rubber or caoutchouc furnished to com
merce comes from Brazil. The process of
gathering the juice is very simple. The
tree is tapped in the morning, and during
the day a gill of fluid is received in clay
cup placed at each incision in the trunk.
This when full is turned into jar, and
is ready at once to be poured over any
pattern of clay, the form of which it
takes as successive layers e thus applied.
1t comes from the tree purely co1orless,
like milk, but when dried by the sun it
is white within and yellowish- brown
without. Its drying and hardening are
fastened by exposure to the smoke and
heat of fire, and it thus acquires its
ordinary black color. Complete drying
by the sun requires several days expos
ure during this time the substance is
soft enough to receive impressions from
stick, and is thus ornamented with
various designs. The natives collect it
upon balls of clay in the forms of bottles
and various fanciful figures, in which
shape it is often expected. The clay
mould over which the bottles are formed,
being broken up, is extracted through
the open neck. Usually it has been
brought to this country in flat cakes
but a method has been devised by which
the liquid is shipped in air-tight vessels
of tin or glass just as it comes from the
tree
