one of the landmarks of St. Thomas has

His Majesty's birthday was also observed
here By the firing Of a ROYAL salute from
the Fort in the morning and a display Of
bunting in town. In the evening there
was a display Of lights and rockets from the
Fort but we missed the music Of the band,
circumstances preventing its leader from
affording us the pleasure of listening to it.

Enemies of the Ear.

The ear has perhaps no greater enemy nor
one more to be feared than the hairpin, UNI
less 1t be its equally destructive friend the
''ear spoon or "ear cleaner So atlirms DR..
Charles H. May in Babyhood, and adds:
These two instruments are often employed
to remove wax from the ear, whether it be in
excess or not. Ii may be taken as safe rule
that whatever wax cannot be removed by
the little finger, with its nail closely pared
and enveloped by a single thickness of a
handkerchief or piece of soft linen, should be
left there. or at least not removed by the
mother. Hairpins and like domestic instru-
ments often cause damage to the ear canal
and even the drum membrane hemorrhage
from, and wounds of, various parts of the
organ of hearing are not infrequently met
with by the aurist as a result of the mothers
resorting 10 the use of these instruments; and
many an infant and child will be saved pain
and further ear disease if these two domestic
instruments are abolished from use in the
nursery altogether.

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
Pretty Custom That Still Holds Its

Pretty Custom That Still Holds Its
Own Favored Forms OF Entertainment.
Weddings are just now the most impor-
tant feature in the society world, and their
every detail is discussed with interest. Some
Jealous followers of Anglican customs claimed
at the end of last spring that the fashion of
bridesmaids at church weddings was going
OUT in England and that good form here this
season would therefore require the bride to
be attended only by her maid of honor"
Notable weddings that have recently oc-
Cured in New Yorks most fashionable
circles have apparently settled this veIed
question At two of the most elegant church
marriages that have yet occurred the bride
was attended i'll one case by four and IN the
other by eight bridesmaids. 1t appears
therefore, that the pretty and picturesque
train of many bridesmaids is too firmly
established among us to be suddenly re-
nounced, and is a custom that bids fair to re-
tain equal favor with the fashion of one fair
maid Of honor only.

Few people have the exact weight that a
perfect standard would require, and while
some are seeking 10 reduce too redundant
proportions, Others are striving equally hard
TO clotho their bony frames with II comforta-
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 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 weight; Eat TO the extent of

As the season of the receptions, dinners,
lunches and teas begins, it becomes ques-
tion 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
a 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-except in our larger cities-we may
pre-suppose that gentlemen are occupied
with business. Where ones social debts are
many, and afternoon tea must fail Of It's
greatest informality-through be-
coming too large, a reception answers the
purpose exceedingly well.
Let US take, for example, a ladies recep-
ton. 1t may be given during any part Of
the afternoon or early evening hours, but Is
most suitable from four to seven. IL Is bet
ter, If possible, when sending invitations TO
state the purpose, as ITO meet Miss A. ;" or
Music, or Readings" As the affair lacks
much of the formality OF an evening party,
the invitations do not require to I've sent so
long before hand, though it is well they
should be delivered several days in advance
and quite necessary that all be sent at the
same time.

words AT Home, Four to Seven and the
date in lower left corner and, say, Music"
in the other, the card enclosed in an envelope
OF same size, is the usual form.

Sausayes with Apple.

The following Of German origin has been
pronounced an excellent, IL homely, dish:
Peel and core six or eight large apples, cutting
each one in four quarters only. Strew sugar
and little powdered cinnamon over, and let
them stand few hours. Wash two ounces
of currants, and leave them to swell in warm
water. Make a piece Of butter hot in stew
pan, and lay in it a pound of sausages, hav-
ing first pricked them all over to prevent
their breaking. Lay the apples between and
on the sausages. Sprinkle the currants over.
Cover close, and let them fry gently. Turn
the apples carefully when one side is done;
take them out piece by piece before they are
done in a mash, and keep them warm. Turn
the sausages until we'll done; then pour a
wineglass Of claret into the stewpan; stir it
round the crusting. Dish the sausages in
this sauce, and lay the apples neatly round
them

The jackets are decidedly stylish in effect
Some of the new ones show but little change
save in a greater perfection of workmanship
The beige colored cloths are still well worn
with otter plastrons showing no fastening
accompanied by braiding. Green clott
jackets are made in the same fashion, viz
close fitting, with coat sleeves high or
shoulders, and with short basques. Some OF
the black jackets have red waistcoats
trimmed with Astrakan. The jacket illus
trated in the cut is in dark blue cloth, orna
mented with fancy braiding The collar is OF

Theories in regard to the cau>e of badness
are many and diverse, One that has been re
ceived with considerable attention, and seems
in accordance with facts is that tight
fitting hat, which by its band contracts the
blood vessels and diminishes the supply OF
blood in the scalp and will cause badness. But
now comes a writer in Popular Science, who
has lived long in India, and tells us that the
Parsees of that country are compelled to keep
the head covered during the day with high
hat which is SO tight us to crease the scalp,
and at night with skull cap, and the writer
has never seen or heard Of one of them being

The hats are new and stylish. The velvet
and cloth ones are large, with important
brims and innumerable ostrich feathers
The Napoleon hat has crown associated
with the shape often worn by the Little Cor
poral Ribbon bows are introduced on the
top of the crown.
The muffs are small, much trimmed with
ribbon, and match the rest Of the costume.
Worth is giving up the use of steels and pads
at the back Of the skirt, and, seeing how they
have been abused, this is a step in the right
direction
Large cape hoods covering the shoulders,
turning up with a sort of ledge lined with
velvet, are new. One Of these in dark green
cloth with patterned bordering of an Orien-
tai character had the hood lined with en-
erald green velvet.
