DR.. Boots put in an appearance later in the
day, bat explained to the reporter that he
did not come for the purpose OF acting as a
member of the board, as be was lone OF the
supposed to be's." He had seen the G "
ernor, he said, but the Executive did not in
dicate any policy to be pursued. Dr.. Boot
acknowledged that, in his opinion, the want
Of an enacting clause was fatal to the bill
reorganjzing the board. and with this view
he was not q member, his appointment I'M
der the bill being void. The Doctor must
have bad a pTesentiment OF the impending
crisis, as he said TO the reporter: 81 knew
something was going to happen, but did
not look for it IN this shape !"

PURGE OF Celery.-Wash some large sized
celery sticks, cook them Until quite tender in
boiling salt and water. When done take
out, drain off all moisture, and pass through
a hair sive into basin for use. Melt one
ounce Of butter in stew pan. add the cele-
~ puree, salt to taste, tablespoonful Of
-four, and two of thick double cream; a
piece OF sugar the slice of nut and little
stock should be necessary. Simmer the
whole until thoroughly heated through and
thickensd. Serve garnished with sippets
fried in butter, or, il preferred on Ices of
cold beef or mutton, plainly grilled. The
perfection Of well-concocted puree lies in
its extreme softness on the palate. To in
sure this il is often advisable to add some
fnely-sifted bread crumbs to the alseady
cooked vegetable before it is passed through
the sive, and work it through together,
which does duty for and proves more eff
fcient agent than the -four for all thicken-
ing purposes. Cream should always be used !;
there is nothing for its substitute. Sugar
should likewise never, on any account be
omitted from a puree either in lesser or
created degree, according to the taste of thu
consumer. for 1t helps In 20 small measure

stately courtesy to be excused, saying in

took his wife and eldest daughter suddenly

aunt, Mrs. Griswold to preside as hostesses
to General Arthur during his necessary stay

had existed between General Arthur and the

within It's walls were contained palaces,
churches, monasteries and arsenals.
The walls surrounding all these struct-
ures are of vast thickness. At frequent
intervals are watch towers of fancifuI
design, and the battlement are all loon
holed for the discharge of missiles. In
side is the Red Square, so called from
the thousands of judicial murders there
committed, and in the center of il is a
group of statuary called The Prince
and Moujik." There are MANY entran-
ces into the Kremlin, but the principal
one is the Redeemer Gate, which is
considered holy place, on account of
a certain famous statue which finds
lodging in one of its inches. When

Convent of the Ascension is a strange

tlful withaL Near it is place where
the holy oil is manufactured, with
which all Russian children are baptized.
Around the arsenal are hundred of can

called the King of Cannon, but which,
like the King of Bells, also in the
kremlin, is fit for nothing but show.
The Ivan tower and the cathedral,
with its numberless costly thrones, are
both monuments of human skill. 1t is
in this cathedral that the Cars of
Russia crown themselves, no other
than their own hands being considered
fit for the holy office. The palace.

Stand-up And Turn-down.

The dude collar, the tall, stiff choker,
resembling a wristband, which has
been so much caricatured, has had its
day. Though not entirely extinct, it
only fiourishes as a last relic around
the necks of few superannuated sports
and second-clasS mashers. Those who
have been able to ''catch on" know
that it has been superseded by a some
what lower collar known as the ''dog-
cared" with the end bent over in front
This is the swell collar now in vogue
both in this country and abroad, and
will continue to be worn a great deal,
even during the summer, especially for
driving and all other dressy occasions.
With it will be worn all sorts of ties
and cravats- -four-in-hands prominently
and even the coffin-lid-shaped flat
scarfs. Out of forty boxes of collars
sold on one recent fair day ut a Broad
way store some thirty were dog-eared
For those who like to adhere to stand
up collars there is a new shape, with
the ends sloping away instead of COM
ing together. This V-shaped collar is
said to be the latest thing adopted by
the prince of Wales. The turn-down
collar will be worn to some extent dur
ing the summer, but will be narrow.
The character of scarfs and ties to be
worn all favor the stand-up collar As
young men now usually use flannel
shirts to knock around in during the
summer, and as there are few dress oc-
caSionS when the Stand-up collar does
not look well, there is not much need
for urA-downs.-NelO York Nal and

A Picture-The Creoles.

contempt for the American element of
the city, and L am informed by a very
old resident here that there are many
denizens OF the French quarter who
have never crossed Canal street. They
are content to live and die in one
place, and desire no fame outside of
their own ueighborhood. In that re-
spect they are like the Parisians they
so abjectly adore.

her any more. Come and see her.
Look at her as she slouches out of a.

often very bright, and she nas the same
