An Elaborate Dinner Set.

Hester M. Poole in Good Housekeeping.l The buffers pantry, which contains the forty thousand dollar dinner set of Mrs.
 George W. Childs of Philadelphia, would delight any housekeeper having a spark of enthusiasm for things dear to woman's heart Ceiling and walls are paneled with the heart of black walnut set in mahogany, and there are cupboards, storerooms and receptacles enough to hold all the appurte nances of lavish hospitality. As if these were not enough, the story above, reached by stairs at one side of the pantry, is filled 1 with storerooms grooming under the weight of precious porcelain and crystal, much of which deserves to be treated as a separate work of art. Let us see how the table is l set for one of those dinner parties In which even only a small portion of this collee- l ton is drawn upon. As it usually stands | it is covered by scarlet spread of Orien- | tai cashmere heavily embroidered with bull l lion thread In the center IS a m1rror-lake 1 four feet long by three feet high. It bears | 8 center piece in richly chased silver gnt,
 l vasiform and finished at the top with eight
 l burners, though it is used for flowers ln-
 stead It has foriated gilt border ot
 open work, smiling at it's own reflections,
 several inches in height, and the whole is
 raised three inches from the table. The
 1 end pieces, of silver and gilt candelabra,
 l also richly chased and supported and fin
 l ished by winged grifins: are nearly eight
 cen inches high, and contain each three
 | burners. These are also decorated with
 l flowers and vines.

The President Sheets a Deer.
From the Washington Post.l


 Yesterday the President had most thrill ing adventure with deer. A few of these animals have been placed at regular intervals in the vicinity of the Presidents cottage, in order that he may not be disappointed when he goes out to shoot. This is quite English, you know.
 When the President sallied forth after his quarry, his billy-cock hat was tilted at an angle on the left side of his head. His yellow corduroy pants were tied tightly around his ankles with corset string, and his red shirt shone resplendent in the morning sun. It was tied with a bright green bow.
 My dear, you look quite like dude," said Mrs. O., as she gaZed in admiration upon her husband.
 The President smiled "I rather think this is handsome" he said, and your corre- spondent jotted down the conversation in shorthand.
 There were only three persons in the hunt ing party.
 The President carried gun, the guide car ried bottle, and the Post man carried 6 notebook.
 "We leave one dear to find smother deer, , said the President. "Hal- hal" laughed Mrs. Cleveland. ella! hal" shouted Dr. Ward "Tinkle, tink1e, tinkle,n said little COW. | bell under chestnut tree by the fence. When the party started the first deer was | tied to tree about quarter of a mile away At signal from the guide it was liberated Instead of bolting away as it had been trained ! to do, it ran up in most friendly way to thu

The ScOrnfu1 Dog.

lFrom the New Orleans Times Demecratl The fact that the dog ate the Presidents bait on Saturday, telegraphed from the Lake Saranac fishing ground, recalls similar experience on the part of a journalist and a criminal judge of this city some years ago at Bay St. Louis, Miss. The two set out one morning after breakfast to the end of one of the bathing piers to try the fascinating diver sions of rod and reel In one basket they carried little more for themselves. They set their two baskets behind them on the line of the long and narrow wharf, dropped their lines into the water and dangled their legs over the end of the pier waiting for bite. They had waited about an hour, when the judge, getting bite, landed large croaker on the wharf behind him. He turned just in time to see the tail of his fish disappear down the throat of big jawed, savage,look- ing brindle bulldog. The judge and the journalist entertained no bill of exceptions in the case, as the dog looked like he had come there on important business and wouldn't stand any fooling. So they sat still and waited to drop overheard at the first symptom of further canine invasion.
 The dog regarded the anglers a moment with silent contempt, then he calmly devoured all the bait in the fish basket. Next he turn ed his attention to the lunch basket aud literally cleaned up it's solid refreshments. He then started to walk leisurely away, and two suspensive hearts began to beat more freely; but turning as if he had forgotten something he again went to the lunch basket and, scratching among the empty paper par cells, resurrected whiskey bottle from it's depths, and rolling it out on the wharf, let it's neck break in the fall. The bulldog stopped, lifted his head and gave the anna teur Waltonians settled look of scorn; then he pointed one of his paws at the broken bottle as if protesting against the use of any more whiskey by the party that day and, growing parting adieu, took another knot in his tightly curled tail and trotted off in a dignifed manner. as if he had fish to fry somewhere else.

SOCIAL SCIENCE TN sCHooLs.

Colonel Carroll D. Wright does not usual ly put his foot in it when he opens his mouth, but in his address before the Social Science great wisdom. He vigorously argued that the public schools should add to their cur riculum courses of instruction in social sci encs. He would have pupils educated by the present schools in the problems of finance and coinage, the nature and function of money, the land and labor problems, and, in fact, all that relates to the history, prog
 ress and present state of society.
 This idea would probably please some ssed-
 ucators" who seem to think that the more the number of studies is increased in the common schools the better for all concerned.
 But, as the Providence Journal points out,
 'tapart from the standing objection to all in crease of school studies, that our scholars are
 already overburdened with multiplicity of subjects that too often necessitates diluted
 knowledge rather than helpful mental train
 ing, the character of the problems with which social science deals is clearly unadapted to
 profitable school study. These problems are
 of an intricacy and delicacy that severely tax
 even the best trained and most mature minds.
 To thrust them upon the unripe mentality
 of children is only to weaken and stunt their
 intellectual growth" The Journal makes 8 suggestion which is much more sensible and
 practical than Colonel Wright's social sci ence idea. It says: It is well for all schol- ars, from the very beginning of their stud ies, to be given on occasion and in the form of colloquial talk from their teachers some general information about the government and their duties to it and each other as mem
 bers of the social body. By raising the scope of these talks as the children advance from grade to grade, they can easily be made of wide helpfulness without at all encroaching upon the regular studies or overtaxing the pupils mind.

of the table is silver and gilt wine cool l CT one foot in height, with four raised cir cular panels of cupids and graces The corresponding article at the opposite ex- tremity is 8 crystal bowl, fifteen inches in diameter and nearly as high, used for flow
 CTS. This and it's companion in another city are the finest pieces of glass yet made by any American manufacturer, and for beauty and perfection of cutting they are unexcelled by the best Baccarat ware The work was done by Thomas Hawkes., the great-grandson of that MT. Hawkes. who
 first introduced cut glass into England. The profusion of crystal upon the table in the shape of exquisite carafes, compete, fruit and bonbon stands, low and high, and with or without silver bases, are a rev slation of the stage to which glass-cutting is carried in the United States.
 But all nations are represented. Claret jugs and wine glasses from Bohemia and @ set of claret tumblers from Carlsbad, or nately enameled with sprays, flowers and butterflies in gilt, crimson and blue. give dashes of coloring and variety of form to the profuse and varied service. Amidst the collection of crystal is a set of Bohemian champagne glasses which unique and beautiful as to challenge universal admira- ton. They were presented by General Grant.
 The silver contains too many pieces to emu merate, embracing specimens of many varie- ties of manufacture. Only small portion of the sterling plate is in use at any time. A large soup tureen and it's salver are ele- gant in form and finish. Among the curios is a case of repousse silver foot high, SUD- ported on a stand of the same metal. It is jointed to admit the glass bottle holding Apollinaris water, and is most unique arti- cle made from design drawn by friend. There is also wise, solemn looking owl in gilt and silver foot in height. The only duplicate of the quaint bird is the one from which this was copied, in the British mu- scum.
 One of the most interesting of all these things is the coronet once belonging to Lord Brougham, now used to encircle the base of a crystal fg-holder. Near it is silver beak- CT, tall and slender, on a salver two feet in diameter. We notice that the individual salts and spoons are silver and the butter plates silver-gilt. But we turn from the sil- yer and crystal, beautiful as it is, to the DOT celain, only one course of which is on the table in the illustration. The reader will have to follow me from the dining room to the upper pantries, with their store of prec- ious objects.
 Here we find the works of Minton, made when every piece was object of special care. The plates are edged with gilt band half inch wide on a ground of white, with garlands of small, brilliant, many -colored flowers looped against the narrow turquoise blue band just within the gilt. The mono gram of MT. Childs, of the same flowers, an inch or more in diameter, fills the middle of the plate.

President and began to nibble at the green bow.
 "Oh, dear," said the President pathetically, ''this will never do." You see it was little girl deer and didn't know any better.
 Half a mile further place was found where deer had been tied; but, great heavens, it had escaped. The sport was now getting exciting.
 Deeper and deeper the party pushed into the woods. The great trees waved their arms in joy at having such distinguished person beneath their shady branches. The grass quivsred in very ecstaey. The little birds sang swestly on the boughs. Your corrs- spondent and the guide took drink.
 At that moment the President saw a deer leaning against tree. Trembling with ex- citement, he raised his brsnd-new Winches- ter rifle and fired six and half shots in rapid succession. Each bullet entered the deer's side, but the animal did not move. We rush cd to where it stood.
 Great heavens, it was stuffedi

The Supreme court of New York is enti- tied to the thanks of all the boys who "slide down hill." Hannah O'Brien sought to re- cover $2,000 damages against the city of Newburg for injuries alleged to have been received last February in being struck and knocked down by sled ridden by boy on one of the city hills. In his opinion Judge Barnard holds that the results of the several adjudged cases which bear upon the subject of the accident seem to be that the use of 8 hand sled upon street in a city is not per nuisance; that child or grown person may lawfully use street to ride down hill upon with a hand sled; and that it is not O negligent act upon the part of a municipality to fail to pass an ordinance against the use of hand sleds, even if the common council has the power to do so; neither is it negli- gent in the city if it passes the ordinance and it is violated.
