How to Select Good Beef.

When a purchaser can recognize a
good quality Of meat at a glance, with
out inviting the vendors assurance
that all the meat in the place is Of the
best kind, a step will have been taken
in the way OF emancipation from
''tricks of trade" Therefore we say
to our readers, look closely at all he
pieces Of beef displayed by the dealer;
If the color Of the flesh is a bright,
clean-looking red, the flesh well mar
blcd with lines Of whitish fat running
between the muscular fibers, the de-
post of fat abundant about the kid
neys and upon the back, the meat is
from a healthy animal, properly fed
for the market, and Is in good condi-
ton at the time OF slaughtering. If
the flesh is dark, the fat scant and oily.
of a dull yellowish white, and if the
fiber OF the meat is coarse and hard,
the beef has been cut from a poor
grade OF cattle. Some times stock
which has been brought from a dis
tant part Of the country, and killed be-
fore it has been allowed to recuperate,
furnishes this low grade of meat; and
some times it is cut from badly-nour-
ished animals OF inferior breed

work of cooking receives the intelli
gence that should be given to it, the
human family will have fewer diseases.
Life and death are dear to us all, and
the preparation of the sustenance hat

both car and skill. And, too, the
work OF a cook should be regarded a.
an hOnored calling. 1t is labor that
should be so highly ranked that nc
lady, however wealthy, need be

should be as respectable as school

PARTISAN STYLES.
a Return t" the Dresses of the Empire and
the Garments of Old.

the Garments of Old.
The empire STYLE Of dress is gaining
ground there is no doubt Of it, and we
shall probably wind up the century
dressed IN our great grandmOthers'
costumes. The style iSnot yet general,
but it promises to Income so, and if
many ladies shrink at present from
adopting the entire dress, they never
thetess wear with pleasure the round
wasted empire cor,age with its pretty
plated fronts draprd en- fchu across
each other, models which are so be-
coming to the slendcrness Of youth.
There is that about empire dresses
and bOdices which makes them un-
tit for maturity. The empire dresses
have revived old-world brocades
tsilks or woolen), and those ladies
who possess rich stutfs, bought by
their Observation-Disclosures, may wear
them now suitably made up. Gauzy
fabrics and brocades Of large, rich
pattern divide the palm for empire
dresses and nantes. Young girls and
young unmarried ladies are going over
10 the empire style en- masse, find
therefore we may expect the sale of
the lovely new gauze and muslins to
go up considerably. Plain, embroi-
dered, striped with straight or waving
lines of ribbon, metal threads, silken
threads, gauze and silk muslins, vie
with each other in beauty, and lend
themselves equally to the full, slightly
draped empire skirts and those
plated up and draped with long bows
and fcstOOns Of ribbon.
Ribbons Of all materials, patterns,
and sizes are very much used for bali
dresses; they are frequently of a to-
tally different color from the rest OF
the dress. For instance, red and
pink toilets are trimmed with
light moss-green ribbon, blue with
straw mauve with narrow ribbons of
many colors-blue, pink, straw moss.

The empire skirts are frequently edged
with a garland of flowers and SPRAYS,
or bouquets Of large size are employed
in draping and garnishing evening
skirts and corsages Of more elaborate
make. II there is an error at ali, it

Emperor NapoIeon's Throne.

A correspondent sends the following.
Some interesting information with
reference to q very curious incident
which occurred during the Franco.
German IA has Just come to hand. In
1870 three French visitors established
themselves at a hotel in a ~well-known
German town, where they remained
several months. Being then in want
Of funds and unable to pay their bill,
they were compelled to leave q pack
age, which they had brought from
France, in the hands Of the landlord in
satisfaction Of his claim. This,
upon examination, was found to
contain a sumptuously designed
state chair. The name Napoleon
was embroidered upon the silk
covering Of the back and seat, and on
the occupant pressing his hands upon
the finely-carved gilt arms a musical
air was played by an instrument con-
cealed within the upholstery. The
car Of this remarkable piece of furni-
ture seemed the only occupation of the
strangers. who are supposed to have
been awaiting the advance of the
French army, and in the event OF its
proving victorious would, doubtless,
have conveyed the chair to Berlin,
where, it is presumed, it was to have
been used us a throne by Emperor Ma
poleon. The chair remains in the pos
session of the widow OF the French
mems host. '-L0ndOn Times.
