Hints to Ladies Going to Travel.

Hints to Ladies Going to Travel.
Ladies who contemplate visiting fash
ionable resorts will need a large or limit
ed supply of clothing according to the
length of time spent in one place If a
tour among different watering places is
intended, affording only few days or a
week at each, a comparative y small num-
Der of dresses will prove sufficient, for the
obvious reason that they are virtually
new in each different place. The travel
ing dress should by all means be of ma
terial which will stand sun, vi ind and rain
and here we find nothing more serviceable
than the light wool or silk and wool ma
terials which abound, or black or dark
colored silk of light quality. 1t should
be made in simple style, as devoid of trim
ming or any thing which may prove
resting place to dust, as possible. Let the
hat or bonnet correspond; select kind of
trimming which is readily brushed, and
which does not soil easily. An ulster is
also very desirable, since by reason Of its
lightness it forms scarce an appreciate
addition to the amount of luggage, while
the freshness of the travelling suit is pre-
served by p1oportionate exclusion from
the shower of coal dust so often unavoida-
bic even on first class railroads. Mohair
is preferable for the ulster, as it does not
crumpie nor require doing up. Lisle
thread gloves are most worn, and in going
any distance beyond a days journey,
there should be at hand a supply Of linen
or paper collars and cuffs, or frills, as may
be thought most desirable. A rubber
waterproof is useful addition, and it
may be compressed within very small
space. Rubber overshoes, in case of sud-
den storms, should not be forgotten, nor
is it safe to travel without a shawl.

How the NutmegS Grow

Nutmegs grow on little trees which
look like little pear trees, and are gener-
ally over twenty feet high. The flowers
are very much like the lily of the valley.
They are pale yellow, and very fragrant
The nutmeg is seed of the fruit, and mace
is the thin covering over this seed. The
fruit is about as large as peach. When
ripe it breaks open and shows the little
nut inside. The trees grow on the islands
Of Asia and in tropical America. They
bear fruit for seventy or eighty years, hav-
ing ripe fruit upon them at all seasons.
A fine tree in Jamaica has over 1000 nut
megs on 1t yearly. The Dutch used to
have all this nutmeg trade, as they owned
the Banda islands, and conquered all the
other tribes and destroyed the trees. To
keep the price up, they once burned three
piles of nutmegs, each Of which was as
large as a church. Nature did not sym
pathize with such meanness. The nut
meg pigeon, found in all the Indian is
lands, did for the world what the Dutch
had determined should not be done car
ried these nuts, which are their food, into
all the surrounding countries, and trees
grew again and the world had the bene-

BrOiling.

The household is asked, eff broiling is
not good method Of cooking" Certain
ly, and in some instances it is the only
way to prepare certain dishes properly.
Beef steak, for instance, chops, and some
kinds of fish should always be broiled.
1t is an extravagant way Of cooking, how
ever, and one requiring great care to
make: the dishes thoroughly good and
palatable. The fire is the first considcra-
ton, and the gridiron the next. The
first should be clear and bright, and the
second absolutely clean. If it has no
groove to receive the dr1ppings, it should
be tipped back in order that the fat may
fall on the back of the stove and be burn
ed there, and not discolor the meat as it
must do if the gridiron lies fiat over. the
fire and the fat dropping from it burns
under.
Replying to the question, elbow long
does it take to broil?" That depends al
together on what Is to be cooked. 1t
takes from ten to twenty minutes to broil
steak, according to the size and quality
Of the meat. Chops, from seven to twenty
minutes

SOunS.

Good soup IS the literal substance of
the ingredients from which it is made.
All the good of the meat, vegetables or
grain is found in the soup; nothing is
lost, nothing wasted: and for that reason
soups form the most economical and at
the same time the most nutritive of foods
The pot liquor in which meat has been
boiled is frequently thrown away under
the misrepresentation that it is useless.
That is great mistake, and if vegetables
or grains were added with seasoning of
sweet herbs it would be found that pa
latable and very good dish could be OBJ
tanned from it. In warm weather there
is an objection to soup on account Of its
heating qualities. Anot' err mode fpre-:
paration Of meat and vegetables which is
equally effective in economizing, all the
juice and substance of the Material is to
put the vegetables and meat, together
with sufficient seasoning and as much wa
ter as may be sufficient to keep the whole
from becoming dry or burning, into an
earthen-ware pot with a close cover, &C.
mented on with flour paste, and to
bake in an oven three or four hours.

Old Maids and Old Bachelors.

Old maids are useful. They can cook,
sew and take care Of children, nurse sick
people and generally play the piano.
Old bachelors are useless. They do not
even know how to drive nails or split
wood.
Old maids are amiable. If one wants
anything done that requires patience and
kindness of heart, a single lady is sure to
be the one to do it.
Old bachelors are ill-natured. They
snub children, despise babies and hate
young mothers, and are always so busily
employed-in seeing that other people
take good care of them and they have not
moment to give to any one else.
Old maids are nice looking and "young
for their years." Old bachelors gener-
ally have red noses, and mouths that turn
down at the corners.
tie room, and cook delicious meals for
one over the gas jet in cunning little tin
kettles: besides making all their own
wardrobes. Old bachelors need an army
of tailors, walters, cooks, distant rela-
tives and hotel landlords to keep them
comfortable. When old maids are i'll they
tie up their heads in pockethandker-
chiefs, take homeopathic pellets out Of
bottles, alternately, and get we'll again.
When old bachelors are i'll they go to bed
and send for four doctors, have consul
tation, a mantle piece full Of black bot
ties, all the amiable married men who
belong to the club to sit up with them
at night, besides hired nurse; they tels

best to impress the world with the idea
that theysare dying. 20
When an old maid travels she takes
sandwich, a piece of poundcakc, bottle
of lemonade in hand-basket, and lunch
es comfortably in the carriage. When an
old bachelor travels he orders dinner in
courses at the station, and raves because
he has not time to eat it before the "fifteen
minutes for refreshments" are over.
Old maids drink weak tea, and 1t cures
their headaches. Old bachelors drink
strong liquor, which gives them head
aches
Old maids are modest; they think their
youth is over and their beauty gone. If,
after awhile, some autumnal love is given
them, they take it as a sort of miracle,
and hope people will not laugh at them
for "marrying so late in life"
Old bachelors believe that all women are
in love with them, and that they must
carefully guard themselves from traps
laid to inveigle them into matrimony.
They also fondly cherish the belief that
should they eventually become married
the world expects them to exhibit great
taste IN women by their choice, and that
the "other fellows will laugh if their psr-
ton be not tender youth and beauty; also
that when they marry, many women will
expire of jealousy
