Napkins and Finger Bowls.

The dinner cloth should be fresh and
spotless,an the napkins large and white
after the dinner is over the napkins
should be laid loosely at the side of the
plate If the napkin should happen to
fall on the floor during dinner the
guest should not attempt 70 recover it,
but should wait until sign can be made
to the waiter to restore it. If it falls
under the table out of easy reach, no
attempt should be made to regain it
because that would inconvenience ones
neighbor at the table. The white nap
kin is used to dry the mouth and fingers
after the finger bowl has been used.
The finger bowls are placed on the table
after it has been cleared for the service
of the dessert; they are usually set on a
fancy china plate on which a pretty
embroidered or etched napkin Is laid.
If a fruit napkin of wash material is
laid under the finger bowl it is to be
used if fruit is served with the dessert,
otherwise the dinner napkin continues
in use until the end of the repast. The
finger bowls sre of different colors.

Thoughts for the Thoughtful.

From the Telegram.
Good luck must come to those who
nobly earn.
Few things are impossible to diligence
and skill
The healing of the world is in its
nameless saints
None but the guilty can be long and
completely miserable.
What we place most hope upon gen.
orally proves most fatal.
1t is proof of mediocrity of intellect
to be addicted to telling stories.
The evil of any pleasure we can i'm
agine is not the act itself, but in its con-
sequences.
In the bottle, discomfort seeks for COM
fort, cowardice for courage, and bashful-
ness for confidence.
The superiority of some men are mere
ly local. They are great because their
associates are little.
Instead Of complaining of the thorns
among the roses, we should be thankful
there are roses among the thorns.
Some one has written that we should
| make the same use of book that the
bee does of flower; she steals sweets
from 1t but does not injure it.

Hardy Roses

The best authorities of Massachusetts
give the following as the very best con
tinuous blooming roses: Alfred Colomb,
Annie Wood, Boieldieu, Caroline de
Sansal, Fisher Holmes, Francois Niche
lon, Gen. Jacqueminot, Maria Baumann,
Nine. Victor Nerdier, Mons. f. Y. Teas,
Pierre Noting, Rev. j. b. NJ. Camm,
and Xavier Olibo The Alfred Colomb
is bright, clear red or carmine. full,
large and round. Its odor is delicious.
Nothing could be more beautiful for
the rose garden. The Caroline de San
sal is one of the best and most beautiful
of full, flesh colored roses. The Gen.
Jacqueminot is known by everybody.
1t is the great dark crimson beauty for
which everyone waits in the spring, and
which at first commands high prices for
the rich buds, and soon becomes the
favorite at our florists stands. Its buds,
however, are more popular and more
beautiful than the open flower. If we
were restricted to one rose we should
choose the Jacqueminot = pronounced
"Yaek-me-no." The Maria Baumann is a
brilliant carmine crimson. The Madame
Victor Nerdier is & cherry red, which as
the age of the flower increases, becomes
a satiny rose. The Pierre Noting is a
double dark red. Success ought to be
assured with any of these roses.

Odds and Ends.
Pork, when fresh and young, Is smooth
and firm and the rind is thin

Pork, when fresh and young, Is smooth
and firm and the rind is thin.
A sure test for eggs is the following:
Dissolve one ounce Of salt in ten ounces
Of water and put the eggs in. Good
ones viii sink and bad ones will float.
Vegetables, when fresh, are crisp.
Cucumber, must be perfectly firm and
stiff Celery breaks off clean when fresh ;
If it Is stiugy it has been kept too long.
In choosing mutton or veal from the
carcass, the quality may be determined
from the fat inside the thigh. II there
be plenty OF clear, firm lat there the
meat Is good.
Mutton and lamb should have a fine
grain; the lean should be bright and
evenly tinted and the fat perfectly
white. Ia mutton the lean is pale red.
Ia hanging mutton, il he be hung with
the cut part up, instead Of down, as
usual, the juices will be far better pre-
| served.
APPLE CREAM-One cup granulated
sugar, one cup thick sweet cream. beat
| TIL smooth, then beat the whites Of two
eggs and add them. From seven or
more nice apples take off thin peeliug
and dig out the core, then steam them
| till tender. Put the beaten cream over
the apples when cold in sauce plates.
How To WASH FLAHNELs-Do not
rub soap upon them, but make hot
suds, wash out Of this, and rinse through
hot water, shake out well after wringing
| dry, then hang up. They should dry
quickly, and be taken from the line
while damp aud ironed on the wrong
side Never use cold or boiling water
to wash fannels, as it shrinks them
Practical Farmer.
Good beef, when fresh, has fine grain
and is of vermilion color, with a
slight tint of purple on the cut surface
1t is firm, but tender to the touch, and
is so elastic that no mark is left after
pressure from the finger. The fat /,
yeilowish-white, like fresh butter. and
firm. Sometimes the lean Is slightly
| veined with fat, but it must have flavor
of suet. The surface must be quite dry
when cut, scarcely moistening the finger
When beef Is lean, coarse and sinewy
looking it Is old and tough. Cow bee
/ is coarse looking and has white fat.
in choosing fish see that the gills art
bright pink, the fins stiff, and the eye'
clear and full the scales and skin mus
be bright. HOLSTERS and crabs must b,
chosen by their weight As compared witt
their size. When fresh, the tail of .
lobster will quickly spring back int,
position after it is Strengthened. \
medium-sized lobster, with narrow tai
and heavy for its size, will be found t,

fish, its freshness may be known by tn,

A Senatorial Stamp-Collector.

Charles Sumner was one of Ameri-
cas- greatest statesmen. and ! found
him to be one of the kindest men in
the world. He was an ideal American
gentleman, was always polite to every
one, and | never heard him utter a
cross or hasty word. He had an ex-
tensive correspondence and received
letters from all parts of the globe At
one time, while was page, l had a
mania for gathering stamps, and as
those on many of his letters were very
rare. asked the Senator if he would
kindly put the envelopes in his desk,
so that l could get them, instead of
tearing and throwing them upon the
floor. He said he would save them for
me with pleasure, and, sure enough,
the next day he came to the Senate
with large collar box in his hand.
He put this in the drawer of his desk,
and whenever ne opened an envelope
with foreign stamp attached, he
would tear off the stamp and deposit it
insthe box. Several weeks afterward
he called me to him and handed me
the box, filled with the choicest and
most curious collection, SAYING: Now,
if you will empty the box, | will fill it
again for you. And he was true to
his word. have met hundreds of en-
inent men in my life; none, however,
more prominent or with more cares to
burden or distract his thoughts than
this grand statesman from Massachu-
sets; yet think few of them would,
under the circumstances. have gone to
so much trouble merely to humor the
~him of a boy Edmund alton, in st.
Nicholas for Fe5rudrU.
