ImprOvident Habits.

One of the great characteristics OF
town life at the present time is the alarm
ing predominance of improvident habits.
Look where we will, the fact constantly
appears. The spirit of extravaganza has
set in; no class in society Is altogether
exempt from it; and very few individuals
regard it with unfavorable eyes. Upon
the abstract argument that every man
ought 10 live within his means, there
is tolerable unanimlty; but Immediately
the proposition is reduced TO its practL
cal application the general principle IL
discarded and each individual treats his
own case as exceptional and as governed
by special circumstances. The result, as
might be anticipated, is far from being
satisfactory. Social barriers are being
broken down and destroyed, not for the
purpose of abolishing class distinctions
and treating all as members Of one great
and homogeneous community, but mere,
ly to foster and perpetuate extravagant
habits. Some people are so advanced in
these views as to look upon a spendthrift
as benefactor Of his species. They do
not care to inquire how the money has
been spent or whether 1t has been en-
ployed productivity; the mere fact of its
DhSiUk 10 tiEhi"Sh ny bhtbt 40

gard, also, of that beneficial habit of
laying by a store for rainy day, Of pro.
viding for less prosperous seasons, and of
preparing for the time when labor can.
not be pursued. The motto Of the Ca
rousers; BE happy to-day, what care we
for the morrow is acted up TO by men
who In other respects are looked upon as
possessing fair share OF worldly wis

very shallow one OF keeping up appear.
ances. They imagine, or at least profess,
that they must spend precisely the same
as their neighbors, keep up the same
style, give the same parties and dress In
the same way, or--they VIII lose caste.
The question as to whether they can at.
ford these luxuries is never considered
and they would fain regard themselves
as martyrs TO circumstances when In
truth the deception can be seen through
by all their friends.
The unsuccessful merchant initiates
the ways and style Of the successful one,
greatly to the injury of his creditors.
The evil doeg not, however, stop here.
The same plan is adopted by the mer.
chants clerk, who affects a fine house
in the suburbs, keeps couple OF sery-
ants, lives in good style and entertains
troops of friends. No one pretends that
he can afford to do this or that it can
last for any considerable time; still, the
system prevails to considerable extent.
The false notion Of keeping up appear
ances serves as an excuse and a ci'ak
for all manner of wasteful extravagance.
We fear, also, that it bege's habits OF
more criminal character which cannot
but be deploied. But why all this de
sire TO appear richer than he really is,
There Is an end TO all things, and those
who live in this assumed and artificial
style speedily realize this truth. Debts

If the bees have plenty of store, of

they should always be supplied with

this should be continued until bees can
get plenty of pollen outside; for, after
blossom time, they will not require nor
indeed will they eat, this artificial food.

Disaster to q Debutante.

The Washington correspondent of the
Rochester Express gives the following It'd
bit to the world: "a most laughable in
cident occurred at an amateur musical
entertainment the other evening. Mdlle.
Blank was to make her debut as a canta-
trice 1t had been the theme of Mrs.
Grundy's conversation for weeks. Elk.
pectation was at fever heat. Finally
the night came, and with it high.toned
audience of several hundred. The first
part of the programme passed off salts
factorily, and now comes our fair debu-
tante TO the foot-lights with the grace of a
queen and the ease of a professional.
She warbled the first stanza like Nils
son. The accompanist struck up the in
terlude, and of course this was the time
when the fair singer should raise her
'lace-kerchief' to her face. With q regal
curve of her left arm she did so, her eyes
fixed on the admiring audience, when,
HORRIBLE dtctu! most delicately con-
structed silk stocking displayed itself in
wavy folds. 1t seems that her maid in
her excitement had placed stocking in
the place where the other article ought
| to be, and hence her ludicrous mistake.
She stood transfixed, resembling an auc-
tioneer of hosiery at bankrupt sale.
| The audience roared. The buttons flew
and stalwart men grasped their sides in
| fearful agony. Fashionable ladies forgot
their propriety and just screeched. Of
course the best thing under the circum-
stances for Mdlle. Blank to do was TO
faint She did it as well as Clara Morris
could. Up rushed Senator -; he
seized a pitcher of water and soused
the PROSTATE form of the unfortunate
singer. This had the desired effect, and
so 1t would on any female when her $500
dress was ruined. With whizzing sound
she left the platform; the entertainment
was ended and the streets were lined
with laughing hyenas. To witness such
a scene again / will go the same price OF
admission and raise il two better. re.
greet to say that the fair debutants is not
dead, but has removed to the solitudes

The shell of an egg is porous and /.

Eggs may be dried and made to retain
their goodness for long time; or the
she'll may be vanished, which excludes
the air, and then if kept in moderate
temperature they may be kept good for
years. French peultry-raisers are very
successful and ship millions Of eggs to
England annually. Fresh eggs are more
transparent at the center, old ones at the
top. Very old ones are not transparent
in either place. In water in which one

eggs sink and Indifferent ones swim,

Novel Way of Making Jelly Cake
Take the whites of six eggs, one cup
white sugar, same of flour, tablespoon
butter, two tablespoons sweet milk, two
teaspoons cream tartar and one of soda
Bake in large oblong dripping-pan, so
the cake will be very thin. Meanwhile
stir another batch, making just the same,
with the exception of using the yolks in.
stead of the whites; when both are done,
spread, while warm, between with Jelly or
preserve juice of any kind, put together;
bring the largest side of the cake toward
you, and roll Immediately; or cut in four
or eight parts, put together alternately,
putting jelly between each layer, and
frost lightly over the top. Another
method is to make three pans, making
the third layer of one-third red sand
sugar, filling the cup with white sugar,
using the eggs and proceeding the same
made of the yolks, than the red, and last
ly the white. Nicely frost the top, and
you have beautiful as well as de-
licious party cake. They are very pretty
made into rolls.

for the purpose of obtaining temporary
assistance. This must be very humili.
ating and at the same time is unpro-
ductive of any permanent benefit, owing
to their having contracted habits which
are difficult to curb and lead to greater
excuses. The result generally Is that
the parties who adopt these unwise plans
are the architects of their own misery
They can never hope to attain that
proud position of being independent of
work; they condemn themselves to per-
petual anxiety, and though their labor
the advantage of their industry.
We regret to say that vast numbers of
workingmen come under this category.
Most skilled artisans earn sufficient, If
rightly applied and wisely expended, to
enable them to place small store away.
This would soon accumulate, and bring
with it the dawn of independence. Con-
trast this state Of things with :hhs spects-
Gle which meets our eyes when some
strike takes place. Workingmen who
for years have been enjoying the bene-
tits of regular employment are then
found, after the first weeks cessation of
labor, to be penniless. The folly of ex-
travagance is most TO be deplored in the
case of those who have to earn their sub
sistence by laborious work, and is, in
fact, wholly inexcusable. Much misery
and poverty might be prevented by the
very simple expedient of counting the
cost before rushing into unnecessary ex.
pense. 1t is quite true that many work.
ingmen earn comparatively small sums,
and that the cost of living is much great
er than some few years back; still it is
conclusively shown by the records of
provident societies that there IS a clear
margin above necessary expenses which
could be reserved for the future.-Horas
