ROME TOPICS
Pretty Decorations for tho DIniMg-
Room CeiIipg-.-TnbIe ana Chair
ScarfH,


The portieres in many OF the most fash.
ionable houses in this city are made out
of Mexican horse blankets and Arabian
blankets, and are merely thrown over the
brass or walnut rod and drawn to one
side. These portieres can easily be made
at home out Of an old pair of dark blank
cts that have first been thoroughly wash
cd in ammonia and water. Collect all the
bits Of colored silk floss in the house and
also pieces OF fine split zephyr worsted
Take large darning needle and put one
or moro colored threads i'll it, then run
through the blankets in zigzag, scalloped
or straight lines, taking care to have them
all run one way that is, either horizontal
or perpendicular. The ends of the floss
or worsted should not be lett loose, but
knotted on to the next piece The moro
the colors are mixed the prettier the ef-
feet. The edge may be embroidered in a
leaf design in applique velvet and the
bottom finished by fringe Of nll the
colors.
A pretty decoration for dining-roDm
ceiling is made out of five japanese paper
umbrellas, one being about a yard in dia-
meter and the other four half yard.
Those with the designs Of birdie and but
terflies arc the best to purchase. The
large one is placed about the chandelier
in the centre Of the room. The handle
is first removed and the chandelier then
unscrewed from the top. After the um-
brella is placed on the upper pipe, fitting
nicely to the ceiling, with the top out
ward, the chandelier is screwed on and
the umbrella further fastened with brass-
headed nails. The other four umbrellas
are put near the corners and fastened by
two tacks in each rib They are placed
top outward and look very artistic, espe-
cially on white ceiling. If the room is
small the centre umbrella is sufficient
and one smaller may bo placed over tbs
mantel, up quite high.
Table and chair scarfs have taken the
place OF tides. They are made from tive
to two and a half yards long and from 6
half to three-quarters of yard wide
The most fashionable kind are those oI
Mexican silk gNuze run with gold, silver
red or blue silks in Oriental figures. Fol
tables, ONE of plush, velvet or silk EN-
broideIed in arasene are used. Ones tC
initiate tic Mexican gauze, and which
look fully as well, arc made out of the
thlnnest and yellowcst uubleached mus
lin, which can be purchased for thIe,
cents per yard. This washes well ant
has the limp, soft look OF the gauze. Run
them i'll some odd unconventional design
with red blue, gold and silver cords anC
silk, and fringe out the ends. Whel
placed on sofas they are fret tied into
knot az one end.

should be horno in mind by breeders Of
fowls.
Eggs for early Matching should not be
allowed to remain in the nests during cold
weather, even il experiments have shown
that they may be subject to great de-
gree Of cold without destroying their vi
tality. At its best early Matching has too
many disadvantages to add to the list the
chances Of an experiment.
We have known OF exhibition coops
containing sitting hens being suspended
a few inches above the floor to avoid the
persistent efforts Of the rats to destroy or
carry off the eggs II the nest is so stu
ated that the cold air circulates freely un-
der it, there should be q considerable lay
er Of earth at the bottom, SO that the pro-
per amount Of heat may be retained.
In the winter season quantities OF eggs
are frozen, and it is generally considered
that such eggs are worth but little, or, to
say the least, are much injured for cook
ing purposes This, hnwe,ei, ~ uot
strictly True, Tor II properly treated they
are but little injured Instead OF as was
the custom) putting them into cold water
to take out the frost, md waiting several
hours for the thnwing to take place, and
then finding the yolks in such asolid state
that they can be used with no satisfac-
ton in cooking, try the following method
Place them in boiling water and leave
them there for from FIVE to twenty min

them, when, upon their being opened,
the yolks will be found soft and in such
state that they can bs used for almost snJ
culinary purpose.

uOsQUiTOE, IN ALASKA.
Pccuiinrlties of the Climate-A Traders
Idea OF Reaching the Pole

Mr. Francois Mercier has lately return
eli to Montreal frora the most northern
district of Alaska near Behring's Straits.
He has there been employed in the fur
trade on the Youkon river for the last six
teen ycnra, and was tho first American or
Canadian to arrive there after the sale Of
Alaska by Russia to the United States.
Mr. MERCER speaks the Esquimau lang
uags fluently, so also several other Indian
dialects used by the natives OF the Arctic
regions, and relates several interesting
items ~ to the country in general. An
idea OF the cold experienced there may be
formed fIom the following thermometrical
observations. On the 1st December.
1882, the minimum during the day was 80
degrees below (Fahrenhei) and the maxi
mum 50 degrees below zero. Taking the
whole month together, the minimum was
G3 degrees below zero and this maximum
50 degrees The winter lasts about eight
months, while the four summer months
are magnificent weather, the only draw
back being the plague OF mosquitoes that
literally blacken the mir during the long
unbroken day lasting many months
Ducks, geese, swans, etc, begin to ar
rive about the end al April and lay thoas'
ands OF eggs on the banks and islands IN
the rivers, These are much sought sftnl
hy the natives and are excellent eating IN
fact. Mr.. Mcrcior says there is no lack Of
food Of all sorts, whilst for sports there
are reindeer, moose, black nnd brown
bear in the interior and white bear on the
const, with salmon in the larges rivers ane
trout il tho streams The Esquimar
| dogs, which are the draught ANIMALS Ui
the country, are mostly fed on these fish,
when dried. Mr.. Mercer has not very
high opinion OF the noble red men Of the
Forth, but considers them lazy, idle lot
most invetcrdtc begGnrs and full of super
stitiou.
As TO his opinion OF al expedition ever
reaching the North Pole, he thinks il
never can be done without building small
stations en- route, after quitting the shil
for the ice providing these stations Will
food and all necessaries and leaving then
in Charge Of small parties by this mean
ouly will the expedition be enabled to nd
vance ana retire when necessary, taking
advantage of some winter miller thai
usual. and thus push on for the pole N
vessel can proceed much further than 4
degrees latitude. and this leaves II degree
to be got over Of frozen snow and ice. -

Walnut pound cake requires pound
Of powdered sugar, a half pound Of fresh,
sweet butter, and stir to cream; then
add eight eggs, tho whites and yolks beat
en- separately, ten ounces Of plain flour
with soda, and one nutmeg. Bake for an
hour or longer. This cake will be found
rich and we'll favored, and will keep for Il
week.
Poached eggs arc vely nice aud easily
cooked. Toast piece of bread for each
egg, butter and place on hot dish. Have
n shallow pan Of boiling wnter break
the eggs separately into n saucer and slip
gently into the water, taking care not to
break the yolks. Boil gently for three
minutee, take out with perforated ladle,

An excellent omelette is made as fol
lows: Heat six eggs very light, the
whites to stiff froth that will stand

Add to the yolks small cup Of milk,
pepper and salt then stir in the whites,
Have ready n hot frying put in & good
lump of butter, and when it Kisses pour
in your mixture cook about eight or ten
minutes. Do not stir the eggs, but let
them set and slip broad-bladed knife
underneath to prevent burning. When
done lay hot dish on the pan, bottom
upward, and dexterously upset the latter
to bring the Drowned side uppermost ;
cat while hot. This omelette may be va
ried by scattering over the surface while
cooking some minced tongue, ham, OF
chicken then double the omelette, in
closing the meat, or you can stir the meat
in when mixing the omelette.

Isl told INC that when he first visited
America, he scarcely saw in the streets Of
New York n single face which he could
select as model, though he could find
twenty such in the London street in
which his studio was situated.
The American type of beauty is extreme
~ delicate and refined, and London and
Continental society will always contain
some American ladies who may rank a.
mong the luyeliest in tho world. Such
are known to us all, put are more common
III Europe than America. A beautiful
girl is, IN the first. place, more likely to
travel than plain one, for she is anxious
Tor new worlds to conquer the pride and
affection Of her parents are more likely to
second erlegitimate ambition, and, hav-
ing reached Europe, she is obviously more
likely to remain there. II American girls
be anxious to marry Englishmen, as n
study Of contemporary nouels, plays and
society would seen to show, it is proof
OF their good scnce for America, which
is tho best place in the world for makiag
money, is the very worst for spending it.
Life resolves round the office and count
ing-honse, and woman of spirit doubt
less prefers 4 society like that of Lon
don, where oven the men, to say nothing
Of tho women, from tic time they rise at
II till i'.cy go to bed ut 3 o'clock in the
morning, think Of nothing but how they
aumse themselves. America will grow
day by day more like the Old World in
this respect, and when it's citizens have
learned the science Of amusement it will
become far moro agreeable place than
it is Mt present. The change in the hab-
its OF the men will have direct effect up
on the beauty Of tho women. The Eng
lish arc an athletic race, and the nmuse-
ments in which they delight are iu the
open air As nre the men so are the
women. Riding and rowing, walking and
tennis, have developed in them beauty
the chief charm of which is that it is
healthy. The late hours Of the ballroom
80 not take the bloom from cheek which
is daily renewed by q galop in the park
before luncheon or game of lawn tennis
entary. The national game of base ball
is mostly played by professionals, the
national pastime of trotting- matches can
not be counted rs exercise in the English
sense Of the word. The men, with few
exceptions, have no country life-few of
them even know how to ride they neither
hunt, nor row, nor shoot, nor play crick-
ct ; and the women, being everywhere the
shadow Of the men, are accomplished in
none Of those outdoor exercises IN which
their English sisters find and renew their
beauty. The charm which is born OF
delicacy may be a very lovely thing, like
the finest porcelain, but it does not con-
stitutc the highest form Of beauty, which
is inseparablc from good health.
