excessive soiling of the hands, and the
action Of the acid on the delicate nerves
at the ingerends is anything but pleas
ant-and then, in distinguished society,
II seems vulgar TO have the fingers soiled
like those of servant. Many ladies'
who love peaches dearly" will forego
the pleasure Of eating them rather than
present so uncouth an appearance before
their friends, and especially before those
fastidious bachelors who are kept from
matrlmony because all the ladies they
know are so vulgar as to eat.
Our method is simply this: Cat the
fruit open in the middle and remove the
pit; hold the hemisphere in the left hand
1t will scarcely be soiled-the outer
skin shielding the fingers, and use a
spoon, dessert or tea, TO scoop out the
pulp and juice and carry it to the mouth.
You thus escape the disagreeableness
and vulgarity oil soiled fingers, and that
irightful temptation to suck the finger
ends, which not all the ladies Of our ac-
qoaintance are able to resist.
To add little powdered sugar to the
fruit as il reposes in the velvety cover
ing, adds to the exquisite feast the sac
carine which, in cold season like this,
it seems to need in order to be palpable
to most persons Follow these simple
suggestions and you will find new adjec-
tives or superlatives for the old ones to
describe the lusciousness Of the great
American fruit. FLORENCE

Autumn Maneuvers in Russia.

As so much is said of autumn maneu-
vers in Germany and France, it is well
to notice what is being done in this d.
rection in Russia, where tbe annual as.
semblages of troops are OF more impor-
lance and more prolonged than in any
other country Of Europe, for the natural
reason that the severity of the winter
usually forbids much out-ofdoor prac.
tice,.and throws the drill chiefly into the
warmer months. The regular maneuyers
are preceded by regimentsl encamp-
meuts, which take place chiefly in April
and May, and form the chief school Of
the year recruits. After these are com.
pleted come the larger assemblages, to
which from year 10 year increasing at

This year, besides those grand maneu-
vers Of krasnoiZelo, Of which the news
papers have had some account, where
iorty4our battalions of infantry were ex-
ercised for about six weeks, with o due
proportion Of the other arms, there are,
or have been, three other large camps
formed for periods varying from one to
two months and comprising--at Warsaw
sixty-six, at Moscow thirty, and at Kieii
twenty.one battalons, each with it's

besides these, there are six lesser camps

to veneration, not only of Peter the
Great himself but Of everything which
belonged to him. Such, however has
