NAPKINS.

The napkins at hotels are now folded
IN half-wet condition into all sorts of
shapes--a goose, swan, ship, high
boot, are all favorite and fanciful de-
slgns-but it is a dirty fashion, requir-
ing the manipulation of hands which
are not always fresh, and the napkin
must be damp at the folding, so it is
not always dry when shaken out. Moth
ing is so unhealthy as a damp napkin.
1t Is the death of delicate and nervous
lady, man with the rose-cold, per-
son with the neuralgia or rheumatism,
and 1t Is offensive to every one. Never
allow your waiter to put on napkin
unless it has been well aired. There is
often conspiracy between the waiter
and the laundress in great houses, both
wishing to shirk work, and the napkins
not done up in time are hurried on the
table damp, which is the height of vul-
garity.
The mistress of the house should have
a large chest of reserved napery which
Is not used every day, hut which must
all be washed and aired once a year at

very fond of enriching this chest, and

adulterated with cotton will last many

THE DIFFICULTY OF DRYING TAM
DEM.

The driver of tandem must not only
be an accomplished horseman, thor
oughly able to master his team, but he
must give his individual attention to
his horses. Old drivers say that it is
easier to manage six horses before .
coach than two horses in tandem. In
coaching, one horse steadies another,
but in tandem nothing but the most
skillful management can prevent the
leader from turning squarely about
and looking his driver III the face.
It makes q ludicrous scene when
o faultless young gentleman and beau
tiful young lady are in the vehicle, one
horse heading up the avenue and the
other down. It is an old saying that
there is no safety in tandem unless
YOU have a blunderbuss beside you to
shoot your leader dead the moment he
turns around, and the difficulties of
driving straight have been ikened to
driving an eel or sea serpent.

a correspondent of the Philadelphia Press
has inquired as to the fate of the diamonds
that the Khedve gave to Miss Sherman, now
Mrs. Fitch. He says:
The Khedive paid our old warrior unprece-
dented attention, and, TO Eliminate his liking
for him, the ruler Of Egypt sent the warrior
daughter diamonds enough to decorate a
queens drawing room. What has become of
them? | will tell you. They we're III years
kept locked up in the custom house or some
other safe place until they became a nuisance
to everybody. Mrs. Fitch could net wear
them because they were more snowy than any
woman in the United States could produce.
and besides they invited thieves and robbers.
But, above all, the Shetmans took no pride in
them. The Sherman family is not diamond
family. They are by no means poor, but they
hate display, and do not care to masquerade
in diamonds. After many years of anxiety
and annoyance, the family not knowing what
to do with them, the diamonds were sent to
Tiffany. The stones were taken from their
crude Egyptian setting and examined Many
OF them were not the gems that they were
taken for. However, Tiffany fixed them up
and they were found to be very valuable
worth probably $50 600 or more. General
Sherman has four daughters-Mlss Liz lie,
Mrs. Fitch, Mrs. Thackara and Miss Ra -hei.
The diamonds were divided by Tiffany
equally among the daughters--for sets Of soli-
taire earrings and four necklets. Nothing so
strong can be said about the implicitly OF the
Sherman family as to record the fact that
none of the Khedive's diamonds have vet
been worn, and that they are yet more Of a
burden than pleasure, Notwithstanding the
fac that they are more beautiful than you will
see In almost any drawing room.

THE death of Peter Cooper will be regretted
by all who eyer heard his name. Respected
by the rich, loved by the poor, he was the
friend of princes and oil beggars; his charity to
the former he evinced by kindly utterance, his
generosity to the latter by munihcent gifts.
His keen eyes were ever ready to detect fault,
but in pointing 1t out the bitterness Of the
lesson taught was so disguised with cheering
words that the teacher grew being to be
worshipped. Among the laboring classes
Cooper was held as demi-god; his word was
law, and he was venerated as none other in
this country and few elsewhere. 1t was but
few weeks ago that he celeb ated his o2nd
birthday. He was ailing then, but he found
strength to bow his time crowned head and
smile to the 10, 600 workmen who shouted his
name. He died at $40 o'clock yesterday
morning. The immediate cause OF his demise
was pneumonia. ii remained conscious to
the end, and during his last hours he mani
tested his great interest in the institute which
bears his name and left directions for the con-
tinuation of the various phanthropic works
he had begun. He leaves in the Cooper In.
situte a substantial monument TO his memory.
and in the hearts of people deep affection
OF longer duration than monuments.
