What the Girls Should Learn.

BY all means let the girls learn how to
cook. What right has a girl to marry
and 20 into house of her own unless
she knows how to snperintend every
branch of housekeeping, and she cannot
properly superlntend unless she has
some practical knowledge of herself.
Most men mary without thinking
whether the woman of his choice is
capable of cooking him meal and it Is a
pity he is so shortsighted, and bis health,
his cbeerfulness, and indeed his success
in life depends in very great degree
upon the kind of food he eats; in fact,
the whole household is Influenced by
their diet. Feed them on fried cakes,
fried meats, hot bread, and other indi-
gestible viands, day after day, and they
will need medicine to make them well.
A man will take alcohol to counteract
the evil effects of such food, and the
wife aud children must be physicked.
Let all the girls have share in the
housekeeping at home before they marry;
let each superintend some department
by turns. 1t need not occupy half the
time to see that the house has been
properly swept, busted and put in order,
or to prepare puddings and make dishes,
that many young ladies spend in reading
novels that enervate both mind and
body aud unfit them for every day life,
Women do not, as general rule, get
pale faces by doing housework. Theil
sedentary habits, in overheated rooms,
combined with il-chosen food, are tC
blame for their bad health. Our mothers
used to pride themselves on their house
keeping and fine needle work. Why
should not we?

church Fairs.

1t was a church fair, and he had come
there at a special request of his "cou-
sin" who was at the head of the flower
table. He opened the door bashiully,
and stood hat in hand, looking at the
brilliant scene before him, when a
young lady rushed up, and grabbing
hlm by the arm, said:
ooh, you must, you will take a
chance in our cake. Come right over
here. This way"
Blushing to the roots of his har, he
stammered out that ''really he didn't
have the pleasure of knowing"
ooh, that's all right" said the young
lady. you'll know me better before
you leave. I'm one of the managers,
you understand. Come, the cake will
all be taken if you don't hurry"
She almost dragged him over to one
of the middle tables, and then said
"There, now, only fifty cents for a
slice, and you may get real gold ling.
You had better take three or four
slices. 1t will increase your chances
you know"
you're verv good" he stammered,
''but I'm not fond of cake-that is, I
haven't any use for the ring-I-T"
"Ah, that will be ever so NICE" said
the young lady, ''for now if you get the
ring, you can give it back, and we'll put
it in another cake.
"Y-e-s," said the young man with a
sickly smile, "to be sure, but, but
ooh, there isn't any but about it. y
said the young lady smiling sweetly.
you know you promised ?"

"WeI, no, not exactly that, but you
will take just one slice ?" and she looked
her so1l into his eyes.
"Well, suppose" .
"To be sure. To be sure. There is
your cake" and she slipped great
slice into his delicately gloved hands as
he handed her dollar bill.
"Oh, that is too nice," added the
young lady, as she swiftly slapped an.
other slice of cake on top of the one he
was holding in his hand. 81 knew you
would take two chances;" and his
dollar bill disappeared across the table,
and then she called to companions:
"Oh, Miss Larkins, here is a gentle
man who wishes to have his fortune
told"
''Oh, does he? Send him right over,
answered Miss Larkins.
81 beg your pardon, but I'm afraid
you are mistaken. l don't remembe,

Of little stove pipe, and it seems not
very much bigger than her own neck.
Yet Kate Vaughan lives, dances, sings
and turns the heads of her crutGh-and-
toothpick adorers.
ALI sorts of makers of hygienic ap-
parel put in commercial. appearance
at the Health Exhibition. A staymaker
exhibits corsets whose entire front is
elastic webbing, winch yields at every
movement and only expands the more
with lacing. 1t was especially designed
for the use of women during q season
when tight lacing would be more than
injudicious,i it would take the proportions
of crime. But there is no time when
women might not use with advantage
stays thus fashioned. The simple truth
is that very frequently women are over
laced when they really do not know it.
The internal organs are so easily COM
pressibIe that, as Mr.. Treves said, wo-
men who has not the slightest idea or
intention of tight lacinR, may be unduly
compressed by matter of two inches,
while a really tightly-laced woman re-
duces her moral waist-size some eight or
ten, The diagrams hanging around the
walls of the room in which the exhibi-
ton is held show the female form divine
as it should be, with the sizs and loca-
tion of the interior organs distinctly de-
fined. These pictures must give the
nightmare to some of the fashionable
girls and woman who attend the exhibi-
tion. Nevertheless must alas confess
that, to the eye of the modern, the
ladies so attlred mt present a dainty
frou-frou appearance with which those
habited in the new hygienic apparatus
sadly contrast. 1t is this quality of con-
cealing defects and exaggerating beau
ties in the wearer which forms the
stronghold of modern fashionable attire.

A New Submarine Vessel.

A young Roumanian engineer, M.
Traian Theodoresco, has constructed a
submarine vessel which quite puts al
that has been made hitherto In the
shade. The ship, if it does not exceed
certain dimensions, can be Havigated
for twelve hours at 100 feet under water
without being raised to the surface.
The working at the surface is similar to
that of an ordinary steamship. The
speed is not SO great as that OF some
steamers, but it is nevertheless superior
to that of sail boats. The immersion is
effected by screws, Once under water,
enough light is issuppied to be able TO see
obstacles at distance of one hundred
and thirty feet, and the movement is SO
regulated as to avoid them. The supply
of air for IKE crew will last twelve hours,
and can be renewed without coming to
the surface by means of telescope tubes.
The propulsion and immersion are ar
ranged to cause no noise. If all these
claimed advantages are confirmed in
practice, the new vessel will be most
formidable submarine offensive weapon.
But it car also be used for more proita-
BILE purposes. In the Matchin Canal
near BraIia. there has lain since May,
1877, the wreck of Lutfi Deieit, on
board of which was the Golfer of the
Turkish Flotilla en- the Danube, contain.
ing the treasure of the feet. which it
will perhaps be possible to recover by
means of the new submarine boat.

A Smuggling Ma cnIne.

A singular adaptation of the railway
engine has been made in Russia. In
formation having been giving to the all
thorities at Alexandrovo, on the Polish
frontier, that the locomotive OF the ex-
press leaving that station for Warsaw
had been ingeniously converted into a
receptacle for smuggling goods, it was
carefully examined during Its sojourn
at that station. Though nothing was
found wrong, it was deemed advisable
that custom house official should ac-
company the train to its destination
where the engine furnace and boiler
were emptied and deliberately taken to
pieces. In the interior was discovered
a secret compartment, containing 1913
pounds of foreign cigars and several
parcels of valuable silk. Several arrests
were made, including that of the driver,
but his astonishment at finding the en-
gine to which he had 81 long been ac-
customed converted into a hardened
offender against the laws was so genuine
that he was released and allowed to re-
turn to his duties.

The phylloxera has desolated the Gil
ronde, and has not left unscarred French
vineyards elsewhere. French vines have
been yielding little liquor and bad.
Wine drinkers are scarcely conscious of
the disaster. They are resolved to have
their claret, and Bordeaux is too cour-
teous not to crafty them. Xeres sends
full hogsheads of sherry. Oporto sup
plies it's natural port. Zante contri-
butes its currants, and Crete ITS malm-
sey. Australia itself helps to fill up
the void which the malignant blight
has created. Sherry. port, malvoisie,
Christmas curranta, broglio, and Marsa-
la, all flow into hospitable Bordeaux,
rough and smooth, sweet and sour they
issue from it veritabble claret. and are
bought and imbibed with undoubted
faith by the unsuspicious.
Much of the pleasure which English
men have enjoyed in drinking claret has
been derived from the belief that they
were drinking a wine absolutely pure.
Port and sherry and champagne are
manufactured. Claret and Burgundy
have been supposed to be the mere
juice of the grapes of the vineyards in
the vicinity in which they are made. In
one sense all wine is a manufacture, and
a very elaborate manufacture. 1t may,
however, manufacture itself, and this is
what Bordeaux and Burgundy have been
credited with doing. In reality, they
have at all times been liable to a certain
amount OF composition. The stronger
wines of the Rhone have for ages been
blended with the weaker vintages of the
Garonne. An occasional practice has,
through the devastations of the recent
pest, been converted into q settled
habit. Bordeaux, to judge from the sta
tistics of its importation of alien materi-
ais, would seem to have been for several
years past in process of transformation
from a mandatory of French wine
into a laboratory for the introduction
into wines from every part of the world
of French flavor and French qualities.
So long as only grape juice Is borrowed
for the mixture the counterfeit is COM
paratively innocent. The danger is that
chemical ingenuity, when Levant cur
rants fail or the price of Spanish, and
italian and Portuguese grapes rises,
may dispense with grapes altogether.

Corsets or No COrsets.

Fred Treves of London who has paid
great attention to the matter of ladies
costume says the notion that women
need the support of stays is an entirely
erroneous one; nevertheless, the eye of
the present generation is so accustomed
to the sight of the female form as it ap-
pears in stays that woman who dis
penses with this adjunct of the toilet is
sure to be curiously commented on. Our
favorite contralto, Madame Antoinette
Sterling, prides herself on the fact that
she has never worn stays and never will
do so; but suppose she is unaware of
the remarks which her appearance some
times calls forth in miscellaneous an
dience. Often I have heard the ques-
tion pass from lip to lip in concert hall
where she was singing: "What fright
full figure she hasl' "How badly her
dress fits!' And these remarks come from
men as well as women. Ellen Terry DIS
penses with stays and all her gowns in
Juliet are mere shapeless wrappers of
different degrees of splendor. But Ellen
Terry has the figure of a slim girl of
thirteen - bustless, high shouldered,
square-waisted; in fact, that of the model
aesthetic. Fred Treves says no woman
could live an instant if her waist were
no bigger than those represented in
the French fashion plates; but there is
an actress Kate Vaughan, whose waist
is for thinness sight to behold. 1t

LacusIrIne Relics.

Recently further finds of lacustrine
relics have occurred at Steckborn, Oh
Lake Constance. Among them are two
vases in perfect condition, quartzite or
naments, carved boars' teeth arrows,
and other weapons. A new lacustrine
station has been discovered at Arbon, in
the same neighborhood; but except the
piles OH which the houses were built, no
relics of importance have come to light.
On the other hand, the sinking of the
lake has laid bare the foundation of a
Roman watch tower and the paved road
that connected it with the mainland, a
circumstance from which it is inferred
that the level of Lake Constance is now
considerably higher than it was 1000 or
800 years ago. The watch h-tower.
paved way, and lacustrine station are
all near the landing place at Arbon. At
another lacustrine village near Boer-

those collected at Steckborn haYe been
found,

Cooking IN Germany.

doubt whether the mysteries of Ger.
man cooking are comprehensive to the
Anglo-Saxon mind, permanently endur-
able by the Anglo Saxon stomach. In
order to obtain that piece OF mind which
is absolutely necessary to aid the diges-
ton of the compounds which daily come
upon the table. one must not seek to
comprehend.
is there not close relationship be-
tween the methods of cooking of a peo-
pie and their intellectual and moral de-
velopment? Cannot the positive, prac-
tical directneSs of the Angle-Saxon mind
be connected with their plain, succu-
lent, unmistakable roast and chops?-or
the grace and @sthetic sense of the
French referred to their delicate ragouts
and sauces?-and the cloudy self-evolv-
ing PHILOSOPHERS OF the Germans to their
incomprehensible mixture OF fish, flesh,
fruit and vegetables? Or would closer
analysis show that the reverse process
works out food preparation from innate
characteristics?
The fundamental principle of German
cooking is to mix as many incongruous
things as possible. My countrymen
have a special talent, recognized the
world over, for inventing uixed drinks
but their combinations pale before those
of the Germans in mixed cooking. That
compound which is so toothsome to a
German, herring salad, is concocted
from sixteen different articles. A Ger
man beefsteak is made of hashed meets,
rolled in a ball and frieds What they
call roast is chuck of meet boiled a
while and then baked; 1T usually looks
like limp of india rubber. With the
meats is always served compete, made
of stewed or preserved fruits. The vege-
tables are deemed at their best when
they are floating in grease. Sausage,
however, is the great national delicacy.
1t is produced i'll great varieties of size
and quality; and the sausage shops OF
Berlin are the most elegant in the city.
The German family table, with its mys-
terious and denominations, is the sever
est which the American has to undergo
who submits himself to the domestic life
of the country. My estimable landlady
modified her culinary practices somewhat
to suit my fancies; yet SIX months OF
effort failed to reconcile me to the
strange diet. have met with a few
Americans IN Germany, long time
there, who first endured. then finally
embraced the execrable cookery; but as
one might suspect, they have in a degree
become denatlonShZed.
In Berlin, however, one is not Obliged
to suffer this daily martyrdom; there are
a few good restaurants, where one can
fare sumptuously and in civilized way.

Socrates was q stone cutter by trade,
but t0o lazy to follow so honest a calling.
He loved to talk too well, and spent his
time lounglng on street corners and gather
Tag young men as idle as himself around
him. His personal appearance was dis
gusting in the extreme, and one has but to
gaze upon the Louvre cast in the gallery
of which we are so Justly proud, to
straightway sympathize with poor, abused
X4ntlppe. He had fiat nose, thick hpS,
prominent eyes, low, broad figure, and
awkward gait, went Darefooted and half
clad, was a bitter enemy TO cleanliness,
and a mountebank in manners. He married
a woman to whom he vas attracted by
her singular conversational powers, and
although he believed he himself excelled
oil his contemporaries in that respect, yet,
he found that she far eXcelled him in
the command of language. He cared
nothing for the welfare cf his wife or
children, left them to support themselves
as best they mlght, while he spent the
time he could spare from the curbstOne
seances, and wasted the treasures Of his
thought at the feet of Aspa3ia and Theo-
d0te, whom he pretended TO desire to con-
vert, that he might thereby add lustre to
his own name-sly old dog-and in addi
ton 10 all thls, he would invite the lazy
creai ures who surrounded him to dine
with him when there was nothing in the
house to entertain them with.

was struggling for herself and little ones.

Three Dogs

Those about the w hIte House say that
When Hayes was President. a strange, lean,
gray dog stood waich at the house both
day and night. and could not be driven
away. That when Garfield became Presi-
dent,a yellow terrier put in an appearance,
the Hayes dog disappearing. The yellow
dog was first seen on the day of Inaugural
ton. 1t followed Garfelu's carriage from
the capitol to the White House, AMI per-
slsLently renamed until the day of the
assassination, when it mysteIiously disap-
peared. When Arthur donned the Execu-
tive robe large brindle dog of mongrel
species took up his home in clump OF a
shrubbery directly in front of the north
door. The attendants at the Presidents
house positively aver that this Presidential
dog story is the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth.
