strawberries with Toothpick.

The various well known qualities of
the average cook in this country are
sometimes equalled by her originality.
The other day, there being English
guests at dinner, the cook was told to
ornament the pudding with some fresh
strawberries. When the dish was
served it presented a delicious appear
ance of jelly and whipped cream dec
rated with the bright red fruit, but as
soon as the hostess took out a spoon
full of the mass, look of horror came
over her countenance. In the saucer
were fragrant strawberries, but at
tached TO each was wooden tooth
pick. The culinary artist had found
that to present the desired effect, the
berries needed support, and had hit
upon the ingenious plan of wooden
stems. In spite of the protest
of the hostess the English
guests have written home that the
queer Americans serve toothpicks in
their buildings. Boston Journal

Shortly after the war closed, says the
Washington critic, the negroes began
TO call each other "lady" and gentle
man," but in speaking of the whites
they generally said that "man" and
that woman" An instance occurred
few days ago in which General w.
T. Sherman played part. The Cen
eral was sitting in front of his house
one pleasant evening with some
friends, smoking and talking, when a
fellow as black as the. ace of spades
sided up and addressing the General,
said "Is de lady here named John

said the darkey, 81 think there must

Magnetism in Watches.

The liability OF watch to dcrange-
ment through magnetism Is we'll under
stood by those whose timepleces have
thus suffered. aud by these who have
taken the trouble to inform themselves
ms TO the facts about the matter But
there are yet many unbclievors. or
rather. TO speak more accurately, many
who belitte the Importance OF guarding
against the magnetism OF watches. IL
Is. therefore, well that the results OF
careful inquiry into the subject should
be published under tho auspices Of
such an authoritative body rs the Wes-
tern Railway Club. At the. last meet
ing OF this club paper upon the eff
fecis of the magnetism of watches was
read and was listened TO with close at
tenton. The author OF the paper pre-
sented many interesting facts concern
ing his topic. He had found that watches
were seriously deranged by being
brought into proximity with dynamos
and other form of magnets. and that
by the use of shields on ordinary
watch movements. or by employing
special metals in tho construction OF
these movements, the effects of the
magnetism might be guarded against.
Ho found that many watches had be-
come TO some extent magnetized by
tho manipulation of parts of the
watches while In process OF manufac-
turo. although this magnetzatIon was
so slight as TO BIO practically harmless;
he also found that very large percent
age OF all tho watches were magnetic
cd to greater or lesser degree. The
idea that the metal Of locomotive Ia
liable 10 affect watches by self-contain-
cd magnetism was hardly borne out by
the Investigations. The rods. keys. re-
verse levers and boilers OF locomotives
were tested for magnetism. and very
little was found. not enough to effect
the rate of watch. The KEYS and
levers were found TO be more heavily
charged. which fact is ascrIbed 10 the
/ position occupied by those members.
There was not enough OF the magne-
tism in these members however. 10

Deaf When Not on His Engine

Some time ago an engineer on tho
Little Mama railroad was suspended
because. after having been examined
by DIR. Clark. he was found TO be quite
deaf The engineer claimed at the
time that ho could hear every thlng
while running his engine, but the doc
tor found that in n still room Inc could
not hear an ordinary conversation a
foot away. The engineer lives at Gin
cinnati, and received treatment in that
city for his disease. but without any
special benefit. After being suspended
eight months tho engineer again came
TO DIR. Clark and insisted that he could
hear perfectly while on moving en-
CINE. The doctor thought he would
test the case. and, accompanying tho
man to Cincinnati. made number OF
experiments with him on engines The
result was that tho doctor found that
tho engineer was not only telling the
truth in regard to the matter. but also
that the deaf man could hear low re-
marks and whispers on moving en-
CINE that even DIR. Clark's keen ear
failed to catch. The engineer was re-
instated to his formor place. --Colum-

"Lend hand"
Its origin was in little circle Of ten
ladies, who met in New York City in
January, 1886, TO arrange some plan
for uniting Christian women in one
sisterhood of service After the plan
of DIR. Hales Ten Times One clubs,
they resolved TO form themselves into
a "Central Ten" around which should
crystallize other tens of workers. The
one general regulation of the society
is that whenever any reasonable re-
quest is made "In his Name" it be
granted without delay. The various
tens are given essential liberty In the
choice and methods OF their work, and
Miss G.. II. Lbbey, Is Washington

of giving such information and sug-

One Of the Kings Daughters, Mrs.
II. III. Townsend, of New York, has
built an annex TO Bellevue hospital,
called the cottage, at an expense of
$4,000, and other daughters of the
king have furnished il with all the lux
urious appointments found in their
own beautiful homes. Carved in the
stone walk is the legend "In His
Name" and when Bishop Potter laid
the corner stone of the building the
trowel was decorated with purple
ribbon, while the keys of the building,
when delivered to the city commission
ers, were tied with the royal color.
The following rules and regulations
have been adopted:
Each branch of the order consists OF
at least ten members.
The general society includes all
branches.
Any woman may form branch by
uniting nine other women with herself
for Joint effort in doing good.
Each branch may choose its special
work. Any thing, however small or
simple, that helps another human be-
ing TO be better or happier is proper
work for the Daughters Of the King.
There should be frequent meetings OF
each ten, at such intervals as they may
choose. such meetings should open
with passage of Scripture or hymn
and prayer. Reports should be given
of the good accomplished, and plans
for future work discussed.
Whatever special work may be done
all branches have the common work OF
increasing the number of tens. Every
mem Der of ten may form any mum
Der of tens. one may be the Kings
Daughter and unite with no ten. Or
the other hand, tens may be formes
without adopting the orders chosen

elect officers, but In SO small body /
is not essential. The one who forms |
ten should keep a list OF members ant
lines Of work, and such interesting
features and incidents as mark tn
growth and purposes of the branch.
