ladies' Receptions.

As the season Of the receptions, dinners,
lunches and teas begins, it becomes ques-
ton Of Importance which mode to choose.
As defined by good housekeeping, lunches are
well suited to the entertainment Of ladies,
dinners to that of gentlemen and their wives,
while any form Of dancing party well re-
pays favors shown young daughter or is
pleasant compliment to offer her guest or
the guest of her friend.
Teas are delightfully."- social affairs and
especially suitable where ladies alone are to
be asked, as they may take place at hours
when-eIcept in our larger cities-we may
pre-suppose that gentlemen ara occupied
with business Where ones social debts are
many, and afternoon tea must fail Of its
greatest informality-through be-
coming too large. q reception answers tho
purpose exceedingly well.
Let US take, for example, q ladies' recsp-
ton. 1t may be given during any part Of
the afternoon or early evening hours, but Is
most suitable from four TO seven 1t is bet
ter, if possible when sending invitations to
state the purpose, as ''To meet Miss A., ;" or
Music or Readings" As the affair lacks
much Of the fcrmality Of an evening party,
the invitations do not require TO be sent so
long before hand, though it is we'll they
should be delivered several days in advance
and quite necessary that all be sent at the

Reducing and Increasing Weight.

Few people have the exact weight that a
perfect standard would require, and while
some are seeking to reduce too redundant
proportions, others are striving equally hard
to clothe their bony frames with comfor;a-
BILE covering of flesh. Each class will be in
terested in one or the other Of the following
lists from medical classics:
To reduce weight: Eat to the extent of sat
isfying a natural appetite of lean meat,
poultry, game, eggs, milk moderately, green
vegetables, turnips, succulent fruits, tea or
coffee. Drink lime juice, lemonade and acid
drinks Avoid fat, butter, cream, sugar.
pastry. rice, sage, tapioca, corn starch, pota-
toes, carrots, beets, parsnips and sweet wines.
Exercise freely.
To increase weights Eat to the extent Of
satisfying natural appetite of fat meats,
butter, cream, milk, cocoa. chocolate, bread,
potatoes, peas, parsnips, carrots, beets, fari-
naceous foods, as Indian corn, rice. tapioca,
sago, cornstarch, pastry, custards, CAT meal,

The most powerful war ship ahoat, the
Benbow, has just been completed and joined
the British Mediterranean feet. She carries
two Hilton guns, besides other smaller guns
A shot from one of them weighs !, 800 pounds,
and when propelled by full charge Of $50
pounds of powder il can tear its way through
Il whole yard Of iron armor. The gun is 43
feet s inches long, and the projectile is over
ii inches long and nearly foot inches in
diameter. England's eight best ironclads cost
nearly s25 900, 900, tho Benbow costing
s3,s00,O0o. Two more ships nearly finished,
the Nile and Trafalgar, Of 1900 tons each.
will cost nearly 100000 apiece. At this
price each will be worth its weight in copper.
The simultaneous discharge of the guns Of
the entire fleet would develop force enough
to lift the ships, guns and all, two feet out
