The Sauce Of Hunger.

There is no such sauce for giving a
relish to food as the sauce of hunger.
The late Amos Lawrence was compelled
by disease of the stomach to eat simple
food, and that in small quantities. A
pair of small scales stood upon his
writing-desk in his private library. On
this he weighed his food, that he might
not overload his stomach. He was al
ways hungry, and always enjoyed his
food. Writing to DIR. Hopkins, then
president of Williams College, he thus
describes his delight in the small amount
of simple food he was permitted to eat :
"If your young folks want to know
the meaning of epicureanism, tell them
to take some bits of coarse bread Zone
ounce and a little more), soak them
in three gills of coarse meal Cruel, and
make their dinner of them and nothing
else, beginning very hungry. and leav-
ing off more hungry. The food is de-
licious, and such as no modern epicure-
anism can equal"

Fashion Notes.

The small round turban is again worn
by young ladies.
Slender gold finger-rings bearing tiny
coins are among the latest novelties.
The oval neck which is replacing the
pompadour. is called the Agnes Sorel.
The soft willow feathers tipped with
gold are intended only for young ladies'
hats.
Ties, with three very fiat bows on the
instep, are the prettiest shoe for street
wear.
Silver iewelry still continues in favor,
and the finest of filigree work can be
found.
Passementerie and all flat trimmings
are much in vogue for trimming dresses
and paletots.
Plaid dresses in those Scotch patterns
combining a great deal of green and
blue, with touch Of yellow or red, are
much worn; they are trimmed with gold
cord, and have vests of white or buff,
with gold buttons.
Wide leather belts are very fashion
able with all styles of dresses; these
have attached to them the small bag,
the chatelaine on which hangs the fan,
and the small portemonnaie containing
just change enough to be of service,
whether one is shopping, or at church,
or passing toll-gates. In England these
belts and their accompaniments are
called "passe-partouts.'
Light colored percale dresses for
young ladies, or muslins of any des.
cription, are made dressy by having
square-neck openings filled in with fine
embroidery or lace. A more satisfacto-
ry way is to make square collarette,
finished with ruffle of lace which is ad-
Unstable. and that can be worn with any
dress. Very tiny bows of narrow ribbon
of the shade of the dresses are used to
fasten the collarette.

Prince and Sovereign.

DIR. Ruppaner, the well-known Ger
man-American, and president of the
Goethe Club, of New York, was the
hero of an adventure in Paris recently
that attracted much attention from those
who saw it. He had hailed a cab, and
as he was about to step in he was sur
prised to see another man entering at
the opposite side. DIR. Ruppaner de-
manded of the driver which Of the two
had hailed him first, and the driver de-
cided in favor of the New Yorker. He
then politely requested the stranger to
descend, but the latter answered:
: 81 am Prince -" giving known
name. DIR. Rupanner replied:
"You are prince, but 1 am a sover-
eign-a citizen of the United States;"
and without much more ado he gently
took the prince by the collar of his coat
and set him down quietly upon the side
walk. The prince went in search of
another carriage, and the sovereign"
rode off in triumph.

United States Medals.

There are eighty-six medals in all be-
longing to the national history of the
United States, seventy-nine of which
were struck by order of Congress, and in
addition to the historical value of the
series, a considerable number of the
medals are of very rare artistic merit.
OF the eighty. six, seventeen belong to
the period of the revolution, twenty
seven to the war of 1872, four to the
Mexican war, and two to the late war
between the States-one of the two hav-
ing been given to Gen. Grant. and the
other to the late Mr.. Vanderbilt in re-
cognition of his gift of vessel to the
government. Five medals only have
been given by vote of Congress to for
eigners, namely, one in the year of 1779
to Lieut.. Col. de Fleury, French Off
Ger, for gallant conduct in the Battle of
Stony Point; one in the year of 1858 to
DIR. Frederick Rose, a British naval
surgeon, for deed of kindness to the
sick men on an American man-of- war;
and three in the year 1866 to Captains
Creighton, Low and Stouffer, who went
to the aid of an American vessel and
saved the lives of about five hundred
persons.

Bavarian SuperStitiOns.

A large proportion of the Bavarian
peasantry, unfortunately, entertain the
superstitious notion that fire kindled by
lightning is not to be extinguished.
When such an accident happens they
are discouraged, and do scarcely any
thing to check the progress of the
flames. A funeral must never pass
through titled field, not even in win
ter, though it might considerably short
en- the way. The peasant is fully per-
suaded that field through which fun
eral has passed becomes barren. Except
on extraordinary occasions, no funerals
are allowed on Mondays and Fridays. A
peasant who is in search of wife never
goes, except on Thursday or Sunday,
into the house where he expects to make
his choice. The bride and bridegroom are
not to give their bare hand to anybody
on the day of their marriage except
to each other at the altar, otherwise they
are threatened with poverty during the
whole course of their union. 1t is also
very bad sign if, when the bride re-
turns from church, she finds anybody
on the threshold of her door. When a
young girl finds leaf of trefoil divided
into four instead of three parts, it is a
sign that she will be married within a
year; at all events, she carefully pre-
serves this leaf to her wedding day. On
Christmas Eve the countrymen are ac-
customed to frequently drive out in
sledges. They think that this will cause
their hemp to be more abundant and
higher. They do not fail to visit the
ale house, and to drink heartily the same
evening; being convinced that this is
the to make them Look %hsv well till the
stroy crickets by fire, being persuaded
that those which escape will destroy
their linen and clothes. When peasant
loses his way in the wood after sunset
he avoids calling any person to show
him the way, being convinced that in
any such case the evil spirit of the forest
would cause him to plunge still deeper
into its recesses.

How to Act in Case of Fire.

In case of fire, it is well to know be-
forehand what to do, as many con-
fagration can be checked by quick and
intelligent action. If there is any time
in which a person should be cool and
calm. in perfect command of himself, it
is when he discovers fire that threatens
the destruction of life and property.
The first thing to do is to learn precisely
where it is; the second, to consider the
chances of distinguishing it. OF course
in cities an alarm should at once be sent
out, but at the same time vigorous
effort should be made to put out the
fire with the means at hand, before the
fire. engine arrives on the scene. First,
then, do not be alarmed on account OF
smoke. Frequently there is great
deal of smoke before the fire has made
much progress. Remember that cne
can pass through smoke by keeping. his
head near the floor or by enveloping il
in wet woollen cloth. On entering G
room to fight fire single handed, keep
the door closed behind if possible. A
pail of water and tin dipper in the
hands of a resolute person can be made
to work miracle at the beginning. II
the fire has progressed too far to admit
of this course and it is necessary to de-
pend entirely on outside help, then see
to it that every door and window is
closed. By this means it may be posi-.
BILE to confine the fire to one room
Every person who stops at hotel should
take special pains before retiring to note
the location Of the stairways, so that in
case of an alarm he can find his way out
even though the halls are filed with
smoke. Never leave a room where
there is an alarm of fire without first
securing wet towel, or, if possible, {
wet sponge or piece of woollen clotl
through which TO breathe. If escape by
the stairs is cut off seek an outside win
dow and stay there till help comes
Above all things be cool and have you
wits about you. Your presence of mint
gone, all is lost.
