USEFUL HINTS.

NEVER wash raisins hat are to be used
in sweet dishes. 1t will make the pud-
ding heavy.
JAPANESE napkins folded in the shape
of fans and put in glasses at each end of
the top shelf on the sideboard, are light
and ornamental.
THERE is a greenness in onions and
potatoes that renders them hard to di-
gest. For health's sake put them in
warm water for an hour before cooking.
To RESTORE Co1ok-Spirits of ammo
mia diluted with water, If applied with a
sponge or flannel to discolored spots on
the carpet or garments, will often res
tore color.
CELERY vinegar is made by soaking
one ounce of celery seed in half a pint
of vinegar (white wine or good cider vim
igar). This is much used to flavor soups
and gravies.
To CLEAN MARBIE.-A paste made of
whiting and benzine will clean marble,
and one made of chloride of soda, spread
and left to dry lin the sun, if possible),
will remove the spots.
To MAKE A RUa.-For a rug use a
piece of small-fgured Brussels carpet.
Around this place three rows of thick
cloth, cut in scallops three and a half
inches deep and two and a half wide.
Make the first and third rows of black
cloth, worked on the edge of each seal
lop in buttonhole stitch with scarlet
Germantown yarn. Make the second
row of drab cloth worked with blue.
Put a strip of drab worked in leather
stitch with blue. Cover the seam where
the first row is sewed on. The whole is
then sewed On another piece of carpet
ing to keep it in place on the floor.
HoUsEKEEpERs fond of dainty napery
cannot find anything o pleasing than
doyleys of fine linen, fringed on the
edge and hem-stitched within, describ-
ing a central square. The corners of
this hem-stitching do not intersect, and
much trouble is hereby saved to the
needlewoman. The inside is divided
silk in outline stitch, and inside of the
diamonds are central rings with rays
and four-leaved clovers also in outline
stitch. Other doyleys have punches of
cherries, flowers and conventional de-
signs, but these are all done In brown
tints, scarcely varied with other colors,

A PASTE THAT Will KEEP.-Wheat
-four, one ounce; powdered alum, one
half drachm; water sufficient, or eight
ounces oil of cloves, or wintergreen,
three OF four drops. Rub the -four and
the alum with water to the consistence
of milk place this over a moderate fire
and stir constantly until the paste drops
from the wooden paddle in jelly-like
flakes and has the appearance Of starch.
While the mass is still hot, add the es-
sential oil and pour the paste into an
earthenware pot Or open jar. In the
course of about an hour a crust forms on
the top ; pour gently on this an inch of
water, more or less. When some paste
is wanted, decant the water, take out
the quantity needed and put some water
again on the remainder, repeating the
operation each time. Paste may be kept
in this way for months, and will never
be troubled with flies.

In the Black Forest.

Fringes Of pines displayed themselves
in the immediate neighborhood, each one
distinct and detached from the other
but beyond, and far away as the eye
could follow, the black mountains accu-
mulated in dense dark masses and out
lines. Stretches of velvety fields and
slopes here and there relieved the gloom.
White roads twisted snake-like, about
the vast scene. To the right stretched
great embarrassing plains, the flowing
Rhine, q conspicuous object, but here
not more romantic than the tamest
rivers. in the distance rose the long
chain Of the Vosges Mountains, with
their soft, wavy, graceful undulations,
though too far off to be very conspicuous
or interesting. Small streams ran their
course and villages dotted the plain,
their red roofs rising in contrast with
the somber pines. The wind swept
great white clouds across the sky, bring
ing out the blue beyond in deep relief,
while they cast huge shadows upon the
plain that chased each other and dissolved
as the clouds died out in space. One
tree, one stream, one field, one hill, may
resemble another, but q Thousand times
multiplied, and o thousand times seen,
the last look is as fresh and beautiful to
the mind, as invigorating to the spirit as
the first. The only sad spot was the
ruin itself, which spoke SO loudly of an
age and generation when other eyes were
gazing upon these scenes, as, in turn,
other eyes again will gaze, when these
days have long passed into history.

A YOUNG, rich, and pretty widow in
London, with plenty of animal spirits.
and in want Of some innocent amuse-
ment, hit on the original plan of
inscribing her name in the books
of q matrimonial agency s a
wealthy but blind candidate for matri-
mony. The number of suitors was
legion, and the young widow amused
herself TO her hearts content. Some
came in shabby clothes, some stretched
themselves at full length on the sofa and
made themselves quite at home, but
spoke in tones of the deepest affection.
The charming widow was, however, soon
obliged to cut the joke short, for one OF
her %suitors, after annexing a pair of can
dlesticks introduced a bunch of long
fingers into her pocket and abstracted
her purse.

Pur-Nosed Girls

ANOBC4 NAAlDe
A young man who has evidently got
n on his hands writes as follows con-
corning pug-nosed girls : Any girl In the
wide world can have o snub nose with
out any trouble at all, but not one girl
In 100000 attains to the rayishing
d~electability ola dear little pug. There
are inconsiderate superficial observers
who ayer that snubs and pugs are very
much the same thing. This is absurd.
1t would be Is rational, to assert the
identity of one of Camoens' dainty
shepherdesses aud a respectable but un-
interesting colored washerwoman.
The pug-nosed girl is a distinct type.
and she knows it. Possessing q pug.
nose. she possesses certain privileges
and immunities to which no other sort
OF nosed girl can lay claim. Occupy
ing the peculiar and elevated position.
she is at once fascinating and harrow
ing. With her nose, by right divine,
goes q rosebud mouth that anybody can
see at half a glance was made principally
for kissing. Nobody ever dreams Of
kissing lips which have q long Roman
nose standing sentinel over them. But
the pug-nosed girls lips r not guarded
at all; oa the contrary, they are most
temptingiy accessible. And when she
smilesEand she has q great way
OF smiling, the dear thing; and
her nose sy~mpathizes with the
muscular movement and tips it
self q little higher, it seems just like a
formal invitation. That is the fascinat-
ing part Of the performance. The har-
rowing part of it is when, encouraged by
what seems to be SO encouraging, you
try to accept the invitation-and find
that she is not that sort of q pug-nosed
girl at ALL It is q dismal business, this,
when the pug-nosed Girl is put to the
test OF actual kissing and her rosebud
mouth is proved to be but a delusion
and a snare. The little ray of hope that
iiiumlnes the gloomy horizon under
these melancholy circumstances is that
success can be compassed by trying
again For, while she is known all too
we'll 30 be q m~ettlesone, unmanageable
little body. there are facts recorded CON
corning the pug-nosed girl which prove
that she is not persistently and ~irrevoc-
ably cruel. In a moment of contrition,
herself sorrowing because of the sorrow
which she had caused, she has been
known to quicker her pretty lips as they
ougntto be puckered, and 80 to yield
them allies to the invitation extended
by her angelic, un~protecting nose. HUI
manityis strengthened and stayed in this
sorrowing world by the fact that the
pug-nosed girl lives in it. She may be.
indeed she is at times, rasping ; but in
the long run she is a source Of exceed
ing cheer. L~ight-minded, ittle-know-
ing folk may rail at her nose and affirm
that no charm whatever appertains to
Its puggishness. But the wise are not
swayed from their wisdom by the patter
OF fools. and those philosophers whose
field OF study is the world know that the
pug-nosed girl is a delicious ethnologic
success"

rrue Lady.

Wildness is q thing which girls cannot
afford. Delicacy is q thing which cam
not be lost or found. No art can restore
to the grape its bloom. Familiarity
without confidence, without regard, is
destructive to all that makes woman ex-
citing and ennobling. It is the first
duty of q woman to be o lady. Good
breeding is good sense. Bad manners
in q woman is immortality. Awkward
ness may be ineradicable. Bashfulness
is constitutional. Ignorance of etiquette
is the result of circumstances. ALI al
be condoned and not Danish men or
ONE from the amenities of their kind.
But vel -possessed, u~nshrinking and ag-
gressive coarseness of demeanor may be
reckoned as o States prison ~offense, and
certainly merits that mild form of re-
straint called imprisonment for life.
1t is q shame for women to lecture on
their manners. It is bitter shame that
they need it. Do not be restrained. Do
not have impulses that need restraint.
Do not wish to dance with the Prince
unsoughS; feel differently. Be sure you
confer honor. Garry yourself SO loftily
that men will look up to you for reward,
not at you In rebuke. The natural sem
timent of man toward woman is rever-
ence. He loses q large means of grace
when he Is obliged to account her q be-
ing to be trained In propriety. A mans
ideal Is not wounded when a woman fails
In worldly wisdom; but if in grace, in
tact, IN sentiment, In delicacy, in kind
ness, she would be found wanting, he re-
celYes an inward hurt-GGH Hamilton.

women who Use nevolver..

Few people have any idea of the num-
Der of. women who own and sometimes
carry revolvers. Some ladies indulge in
pistol practice in their homes, using re-
volyers OF small caliber and popping at
sheet-iron targets with blank cartridges.
The wives OF travelling men, who are alb
sent from home sometimes Q month and
perhaps three months at a time, are
also, as a rule, provided with trust
worthy revolvers for the protection Of
their homes and persons. One lady,
whose husband is away for long periods,
not only has q revolver decorating her
bureau top alongside of her toilet-set,
but carries q small 22-caliber "pop"
hardly big enough to shoot q pea-hole
through pasteboard, against the top but
ton of her corset.
Actresses are seen to have q particu-
lar penchant for pretty and cleaning
pistols. The fact will be recalled that
