Housekeeping.

Deck your house from inward dout
Let there be an inmost shrine
Where to praise, with gift devouL
Love both human and divine,
After HAT, the holcst room
Heap with choicest things that gro"
Spare not golduor silver show,
Amhcrgris, nor forest bloom.
Mans wrought marvels danticst,
Colored canvas, chiselcd stones,
Comforts few, but all that's best
Each that special beauty own.
Then as worldly station calls
All your home in order set,
Nor through hasty pride forget
Chambers still outtanli the halls.
After, if you more can spend,
Neatly decorate the shell;
Next your crumbling fences mend,
Lay your roal.beds deep and well.
mt beware, less these bcguile
Care on Outward things to waste;
Save in heart-shels fair and chaste,
Where does fortune really smile?

Prince GOrtSchakOH.

This brilliant Russian minister, one Of
the most able diplomatisis nov living to
whom his country owes its present pow err
full position in Europe, more than to any
other man, was born July 16, 1889. Un-
like his kinsman, Peter Dimitricvitch, he
grew up with no taste whatever fora mill
tary life, but turned his attention entirely
to civil affairs, in which he early showed
great talent; talent that, for long time,
was not appreciated by his couutrymen.
His first mission was to London as Secre-
tary Of the Russian Embassy, when he
was twenty-three years old. While there
he studied English life and habits, aud
gained knowledge of them which has,
in later years, served him a good purpose.
Thirty years after his first entrance into
public life began the really brilliant part
of his career. 1t was during the Crimean
war. Count Nesselrode was then at the
head of Russian affairs. Pcrceivng the
importance Of keeping Austria neutral,
he dispatched Gortschakoff to Vienna for
that purpose, bidding him to accomplish
it, sat any cost" He fulfilled his mis-
sion well, skillfully fighting the influence
Of Western Europe and excited Hungary,
50 that Russia was saved "from her great
est peril" 1t was through his consum-
mate tact and ability that the treaty of
Paris was signed by his country in 1856.
That year he succeeded Nesselrode as
Minister of Foreign Affairs. His ambi
ton was to restore the prestige of Russia
which was lost during the Crimean War,
and he bent his whole energies to the ac-
complishment Of his purpose. All are
familiar with the sending Of circular in
1860 to the European powers, in which he
demonstrated against foreign interference
in Neapoitan affairs, which were then in
Il disturbed conditio.. He refused abso.
lutely to associate himself with England
and France in their unfriendly treatment
of the United States during the rebellion.
At the time of the Polish insurrection, he
showed 4 firm determination not to allow
outside dictation about the internal poll
cy of Russia, and was rewarded by ad-
ditional popularity at home, and increased
respect abroad. His ability and success
gave to him at last the position of Chan
cellor Of the Empire, to which has since
been added the dignity of Serene High
ness. In 1870, by availing himself Of the
Franco. German war, he managed to Sc
cure the revision of the treaty Of Paris,
by which the Russian influence was re-
stored in the East.
Prince Gortschakof is at the present
time nearly eighty years old, but retains
full possession of his faculties, and is the
moving spirit in all Russian counsels.
His quiet, courteous manner is very pre-
possessing, and his well.chosen words
carry weight whenever spoken. Recent
kilograms speak Of failing health, and oc-
casional confinement to his room, signs
that betoken possible near approach to
the ending Of most brilliant life. Rus
sia can ill spare him, the master spirit of
her diplomacy, at the present time.-To.

ORANGE MARMALADE - Allow equal
weights of oranges and white sugar; peel
and quarter the oranges-careiu to re-
move the inner thick skin from the yell
low peel. Boil the peel in clear water
once, changing the water once, about
fifteen minutes after it first bOils,
to remove the bitter taste. When ten
der, boil it slowly for three or four
hours, drain in Il coandGr and cut into
delicate shreds with a very sharp knife.
To prepare the pulp, remove the seeds
and white stringy outside part; squeeze
out the juice and thin pulp into n bowl
and pour over the sugar; cover the pulp
with water and boil until tender; then
pound the pulp in D mortar, or cut into
small bits, and with the water in which
they were boiled add, with the SHREDDED
yellow peel, to the sugar and juice. Pat
the whole into Il porcelain kettle and
boil. When it begins to thicken it must
be tried occasionally by letting little
cool in spoon upon ice. Great care must
be taken that it does net burn. When as
thick as desired, turn into cups or tum-
blers, cover with paper wet in brandy
and tie down tightly.
BOILED CHICKENS, DEvGLED SAUCE
Have two or more spring chickens, SINCE,
draw, pare the wings, cut off the sumps,
split by the back, crack the main bones,
put the legs Inside, ilatten slightly, season
with salt, white and red pepper; bastc
with melted butter, sprinkle little fresh
bread d-crumbs over, then broil slowly and
well done on very moderate charcoal
fire; dish up on slightly buttered toasts
of bread, and serve with devilcd sauce
either poured around or in sauce bowl.
CHEESE FRITTERs. Slice thin Il half
dozen large, tart apples, and prepare
half as many thin slices Of cheese. Beat
up one or two egg9, according to the
quantity required, and season high with
salt, mustard and little pepper. Lay
the slices of cheese to soak for few mo-
ments in the mixture, then put each slice
between two slices Of apple, sandwich
style, and dip the whole into beaten eggs
then fry in hot butter like oysters, and
serve very hot. These fritters arc an ad-
dition to any breakfast table.
WAFTLEs.--One egg, one cup of milk,
one and half cups of flour, one table
spoonful Of melted butter, one teaspoon
ful Of sea foam and pinch of salt. Sift
the sea foam and salt through the flour.
Beat the egg very light, add the milk and
stir in the flour. If you measure both
flour and milk with the same cup this
batter will be just right. Have the waf-

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN.-One thing may
be particularly noticed in English women.
Tre mouth, when beautiful, is absolutely
stutuesQue. The curves are decided, ana
at the juncture of the red of the lips
with the white, there is deIlcaiely
ra'7ed outline which marks the form OF
the feature in very noble way. inns
may also be said of the nostril. 1t gives
chisclcd effect to those features, when
is not so often found elsewhere; but the
nose itself, the brow, and the set ana
carriage of the head are generally hner
among Americans -.
In both countries, however, the head ls
apt to be too large for perfect proportion'
This is a characteristic defect OF the Eng
lish type of beauty. Then, again, tno
ariculations are heavy. Really fine arms
are rare; but fine wrists arc still rarel'
Such wrist as the Viennoise women
have are almost unknown among women
OF English roce in either country IL -
oiren said, even in England, that AMER
can women have more beautiful iGes
than English women have. This may pe
doubted. The feet may be smaller, Du'
they generally look smaller because Eng
lish women wear larger and heavier shoe''
