SIuI'S on Women.

Any reckless hand can poison a
fountain, but to save from death
those VINO drink therefrom, or to
cleanse it again and render it pure,
may battle the skill OF the best ply
siclans.
There grows bloom of beauty
over the surface of the plum and
apricot, more exquisite than the fruit
itselt-a soft, delicate flush that over
spreads its blushng cheeks. Now,
ii you strike your hand over that 1t is
gone forever; for it never grows but
once.
The flower chat hangs in the morn
ing impaired with dew, arrayed as
a queenly woman never was arrayed
with jewels, once shake i so that
the beads roll of, and you may
sprinkle water over it as you please,
yet it can never be made again VIII at
1t was when the dew fell on it from
heaven.
On frosty morning you may see
panes Of glass covered with land
scapes-mountains, lakes and trees,
blended In a beautiful, fantastic
picture. Now lay your hand upon
the glass, and by simple scratch OF
your finger, or by the warmth of
your palm, all the delicate tracery
will be obliterated.
So there is iii youth ii beauty and
purity which, when once defled, can
never be restored-a fringe more
delicate than frost work, and which,
when torn and broken, be re. en- broid-
cred. He who has spotted and
soiied his garments in youth, though
he may seek to make them white
again, Can never do it even II he
washed them with tears.
So it is with the character of
women. Ofall things the most sen.
sitive, let but suspicion blow it's
damning breath ever 50 lightly upon
IL, and its purity is spotted and
marred, never agk to be cleansed.
OF all evils ple Gent among men,
we know OF ii0ne' mort bIfgnting III
its moral effects than to speak lightly
OF the virtue OF women Nor is
there anything i'll which men are so
thoroughly mistaken as the low esti-
mate they form as To the integrity of
women. Not OF their own mothers
and sisters, but OF others, who, they
forget are somebody else's mothers
and sisters. As rule, no person
who surrenders to this debasin g
habit is TO be trusted with an enter
prise requiring integrity o. character.
Plain words should be used on this
point, as the evil is a general one and
deep rooted. 1t men are sometimes
thrown into the society OF thought,
less or depraved women, they have
no more right to measure all other
women by what they see of these
than they have to estimate the
character OF honest and respectable
citizens by the developments of
crime in our police courts. Let our
young men remember that their
chief happiness IN life depends upon
their utter faith in women.
No worldly wisdom, misanthropic
philosophy, no generalization: can
cover or weaken the truth. 1t stands
like the record OF itselt-tor it is
nothing less-and should put an
everlasting seal upon lips that are
wont to speak slightingly OF women

Wash the rice, throw into boiling

and thumb. Ii it crumbles, it is

an ounce of butter may be added,
with a tablespoon Of lemon juice.
When sweetened with sugar, a little
nutmeg or ground cinnamon may be
used, Instead of lemon juice, if pre-.

TO flavor the sauce, and is generally
much liked.

NV YoRK'S QUEEN OF BEAUTT.-At the
meeting of the Photographic section OF the
American institute on Tuesday, Mr.. oscar
G.. Mason, official photographer to bellevue
Hospital Medical college, exhibited magic
lantern %pictures of a mysterious young lady.
In explanation he said that there exists IN
tbis CITY a very private and select %coterle,
or organization, which may be called the
Artistic Medical CLUB. 1t consists OF thlr-
teen or fourteen members, each one OF
whom is a physician. A speciality with
them is the study of the human form in its
most perfect development, and to get the
best attainable living model her been a lead
ing ambition with them. One of their num-
Der bethought himself of a young lady hav-
ing an admirably proportloned hgure ana
mentioned the fact to his colleagues ;Dut now
to get her to sit, for an artist IN the various
positions seemed for a time an insurmoun-
table difficulty. She belongs to the very
best society, and has feeling, as we'll as
those of her family, would naturally revolt
at any proposition to that effect. The med
ical gentleman thought that by a little
fnesse he could get over the difficulty. He
was the family physician, and as such had
exceptional privileges accorded him.. lie
made certain measurements, comprising
the young lady's height, size of waist, ETC.,
and found them all to approach remarkably
close to the ideal standard of correctness.
The greatest deviation from that standard
did not exceed the sixteenth part of an inch.
The young lady never wore corsets, tight
shoes or any of the other cramping articles
that 90 to constitute a fashionable lady's
make up, and was in consequence the en-
bodiment of health as was q model of grace
and symmetry.
The physician who undertook to get pic
lures of this charming person took an OPP
portunity to breach the subject to her pa
rents, explained to them that 1t was in the
interest of art, and that the whole would
be lone with the utmost dclicacy possible.
They mentioned the matter to their daugh-
ter, who refused at first to listen to the
proposition. But after several months of
negotiations between her parents and the
doctor, she yielded consent on certain con-
ditions, of which were the following: That
the artist who took her should never see
her face so as to be able afterward to rec
ognize her; that he should only be accom-
panied by one other gentleman, who should
be a physician and member of the club, and
that she should be accompanied by no lady
friends.
On the stipulated conditions, size allowed
herself to be photographed in various atti-
tudes, her face alone being concealed by a
heavy veil or drapery and the artist to this
day does not know who she is.

Things that Women Want to Know

Eggs often turn black when boiled hard.
If they are put in boiling water, ten MIN
utes. and then cold water, the yOlk will re-
main a bright yellow.
A shallow and almost square dish OF cut
or engraved glass, supported by silver
standard, is among the latest patterns In the
ice cream dishes. The dishes may be either
of white or colOred glass.
Woven petticoats that now come tor little
girls as we'll as women, In attractive patterns
and bright colors, are fast taking the place
of flannel. They are not so liable to shrink
in washing, and while light in weight, they
cling to the figure and make a very warm
garment.
Mirrors for the boudoir, at present di-
yiding the favor of the ladies, are the oval
swinging mirror, having suspended above
and facing it another of smaller size, and the
japanese tripicate folding mirrors which
give at once back, side and front views, thus
revealing at a glance the whole effect OF the
toilet.
Arm-bags of embroidered and hand paint
ed satin gathered on a ribbon now depend
from the arms of matrons as IN revolution
arv DAYS. From their resemblance to the
one seen in pictures of the old lady who, ac-
cording to nursery rhymes, searched unsuc-
c~esstully in the cupboard for a bone, they
are called Mother HUBBARD bags.
A good way to keep cut flowers fresh is to
lay them in wet cloths. Take them out OF
the vases at night, sprinkle with cold water,
and then wrap them in cloths made very
wet with cold water. The weight OF the
cloth will not crush the most delicate flow.
ers, while it keeps out the air and prevents
their falling to pieces or opening farther.
Beef should boot a bright red color, wei
streaked with yellowish fat, and surrounded
with a thick outside layer of fat. Coco
mutton is bright red, with plenty of hard
white fat. Veal and pork should be of {
bright, flesh color, with an abundance o.
hard, white, semi-transparent fat. Lamb O.
the best kind has delicate, rosy meat, .anG
white, almost transparent fat. Fresh poul
try may be known by its full, bright eyes
pliable feet and moist skin the best i
plump, fat and nearly white. The feet anc
neck of a chicken suitable for broiling are
large in proportion to its size; the tip ofthe
breastbone is soft and easily bent between
the fingers. Fish, when fresh, have firm
flesh, bright, clear eyes, rigid fins and rudy
gills. HOLSTERS and crabs must be brighr
in color and lively in movement. Roots
and tubers must be plump, even-sized, with
fresh, unshriveled skins, and are good from
r%ipening time until they begin to sprout
All green vegetables should be very crisp
fresh and juicy, and are best just before
Towering. Never use skewers, as they
cause the meat juices to escape. Never
touch lettuce with a knife, as it impairs the
flavor and destroys the crispness of the leaf
always tear it apart with the fingers.

SOME SWEET SAUCES.-I rather think
pudding sauces are English rather than
Frenh, as French cooks, at least such as |
have seen, rarely go in for much sweeten-
ing. It's very much of a mistake to make
a pudding sauce too greasy or pasty. Here
is a fair receipt for a sance good for pud-
dings l. Crate half the rind of a lemon,
and add to it one ounce and a half of white
sugar and tive tablespoonful Of water, and
let it simmer for ten minut take an ounce
of butter and wash it thoroughly in fresh
water twice mix that with not more than
a half teaspoonful of -four (more -four than
that spoils it stir that into the sugar and
lemon and let it boil, but not for a longer
time than two minutes when it is cooling
put in a teaspoonful of lemon juice and a
wineglassful Of Medeira. | think the same
quantity of good, sound red wine is just as
good. Warm it all gently once more. If
you boil it after wine is put in the flavor of
the wine goes off. This is for fancy, deli
cate buildings. Sauce No. 2 for dumplings.
This is a rough and tumbi kind of sauce
and goes with duff or almost anything.
Equal parts of brown sugar and butter we'll
mixed up, into which you have put the yolk
of an egg Put it over alight fire and keep
stirring it all the time, letting it simmer but
not allowing it to boil. Just before'serving
it add a pinch of cinnamon to it and a lit
tie grated nutmeg. No. 3, hard sauce
One ounce of butter and a quarter of a
pound of brown sugar white sugar is not
geod), beat it up to a cream and add a
a tablespoonful of brandy and some nut
meg.
