Curions Problem.

One of our western friends thinks it
would be curious problem for wo-
man to find out from mankind what is
really expected Of her. Man adores
helplessness and complains that it ruins
him. He talks about economy, and
raves over spendthrifts. He desires
friv JlIty, and runs away from brains.
He pines after his grandmother, who
used to make good pies, and falls in
white hands that can't. He lnourns
over weakness, and ridicules strength.
He condemns fashion theoretically and
and goes for it practically. He longs for
sensible women and passes them by on
on the otherside. He worships saints
but is careful to send them all to the
converts. He despises pink and white
women and marries them if he can.
He abuses silks and laces and takes
them into his heart. He glorifies spir-
it and independence, but adores the lit
tie vines instead Of the oaks. What
would the critical lords have if they
have it all their own way?-Christian at
Work.

Sebastopol, Inkerman and Balaclava,
From an old officers Letter in the British
Army and Navy Gazette.
Sebastopol is in ruins; but here and
there houses of better description are

the top of the ridge near the old ruined
church of IS. Peter and Paul. 1t is built
of Inkerman stone, and, with the new
church of Vladimar and the great mem
orial edifice to the memory of those who
fell in the siege, situated on the north
side of the harbor, form three very con-
spicuous white objects, seen from the
deck of the ship as one apprOac hes.

Making a little Go Great ways

Making a Little Go a UreaC ways
From the st. Louis Republican.
1t is not generally known, of course,
that many women, considered most ex-
travagant dressels, manage with clever
finesse to look extremely stylish on
small allowances. Nothing can be OF
greater interest to the average woman
than the secret of how to look well at a
small expense. Some ladies own them
selves that they buy necessarily, yetare
never stylshlY dressed. In the first
place it is tedious to wear one hat with
one costume. Therefore procure one
becoming in shape, trimmed for ex-
ieencles. Get black hat with hand
some feather as a utility hat, one which
can be worn at various points of the
compass; then when buying new silk,
buy spray of flowers to suit and utter
" change the aspect of the hat. If pos
sessing any skill get q
capote frame and cover with the
dress goods. Learn to make Collarettes
and fichus; get reversible ribbons and
alter at pleasure. Always get dresses
whose waists will interchange; this is
the best of the black Jersey. Do
not 90 out on successive days dressed
the same way. some slight change VIII
suggest variety of toilets. Comb the
hair differently when the hat is placed
back to form poke. Always carry q
handkerchief to suit the dress, and as
they are cheap this is within possibility
always. Above all get nothing so strlk-
ing that it will always be recognized on
the street. Do not vitiate black and
white ensemble by an oddly colored
bow or handkerchief. Strive for gem
eral effect. Cut overdresses full enough
to allow of different drapings. Get a
black parasol, all back, which will suit
any costume.

Antique Cream for Tea

An elegant-if that is the proper WORD
dish for tea is called antique cream.
An ounce of gelatine must be dissolved
in pint of rich new milk; strain 1t
in clean saucepan and stir in gradual
ly three ounces Of sugar and half pint of
sweet cream; to this add, little at a
time, seven ounces of jam or preserved
must in this case sweeten to your taste
If stirred constantly while cooking, the
frat win not sink to the bottom of the
dish. When the fruit is soft remove
from the fire, put i'll an earthen dish,
and beat with fork until the mixture
is light. If the fruit is not tart, and OF
sufficiently distinct flavor, add the. juice
of one lemon. This is nice for dessert
with cake as we'll as for tea.-New York

practice we're erroneous. Innovations
upon the old notions OF the fathers of
late are plenty. We notice in the pa
pers and books that careful practical tests
have demonstrated that those rejected
defective grains are the very best for
seed. Experimental stations and agri-
cultural colleges have confirmed this
fact. DR.. Sturdevant was the first, prob
ably who was bold enough to publicly
combat the hoary theory. And after
careful investigation Professor Blount of
the Colorado Agricultural Experimental
Station perfectly agrees with DR.. Sturde-
want. lie says, in 1874 he lad sold more
oil his white prolific corn than he should
have done, and was con PEELED to p aut
for his own purposes the screenings that
passed through Nod sieve. He was
surprised on gathering his two crops
one from rice selected seeds, the other
from screenEngs-to find the best yield
from the latter. His experience since
then shows that the tip kernels have
more vitality than the others, from hav-
ing been more perfectly fortified at the
time the pollen falls upon the silk.

Letter to Springfield Republican.
Newport differs from most places Of
its kind in being summer residence
rather than a resort. Its transient visi-
tors are not many and they are usually
the guests, in a strict sense, of the
cottagers- There is not, nor has there
l,een for a long time, any indueement
there for summerers to stay at hotels In
the first place, the accommodations are
not desirable, and. secondly, hotel peo-
pie, as they are called, are not favorably
regarded by the eottagers, who, as a
rule, look down upon them and treat
them with conspicuous disdain.
In order to have any position, or to
be socially accepted, one must have q
cottage which, in local significance,
means spacious, handsome, very cost

ness demands. Newport makes a deal
