Misses are really not agreeable greetings TO
exchange. Very few people know how to
bestow or receive them in a neat and satisfsc-

About Dinners and Dining.

Miss Julia Corson maintains that, if in an
average company you select at random a
dozen men ana dozen women the masculine
group viii possess mucn the more knowledge
of cookery. This declaration she backed up
in recent conversation with many lliustra-
tons. Go into restaurant she says, with
number of men and women. Unless there
should chance to be in the company a
woman who has Travelled extensively and OBJ
served much, you viii never go wrong if you
intrust the selection of the dinner to the gen
tlemen. Lest some critic should reply that
men are more used to restaurant and hotel
fashions and feel themselves more at ease
in ordering, Miss Corson is willing to go
step further. If it is ease of ordering
nice little family dinner at home not an av-
erage American family dinner, which con-
sists usually OF roast and a pudding, but,
say, soup, fish and perhaps one side dish,

If he is clubman or a man used to camp
ing out he win cook itbetter than his wife;
but whether he knows anything about the
processes of cooking or not he will show more
ability in planning good dinner Being
asked to define z good dinner, Miss Corson
said that 1t must posses three qualifications:
it must please the palate, satisfy the appetite
and be easily digested This culinary ability
a man does not usually develop, she is of the
opinion, until he reaches S5 or, say, 40 years
of age. At that period of life she accounts
for it on the theory that mature men pay
more intelligent heal than do women to their
food. The average woman cares compare
lively little what sic eats, as is shown by her
common neglect OF herself when she has no
man to provide for, while the man who is
actively engaged i, business knows that if he
is not fully nouriAed his work will suffer-

Importance of Seasoning.

Too little attention is paid in many houses
to seasonings. A lady who is noted as an es-
pecially good cook lays her success in large
degree to the skiilful use Of seasonings. She
seems to know just what seasoning this dish
needs, or what favoring that one must have
to make it toothsome. The cook who depends
wholly on salt and pepper need not wonder
why her cooking lacks variety. True, these
are the only things absolutely necessary to
make the dish palatable, but that is not the
mark at which the successful cook aims, but
includes also the delicacies. The serving of
warmed over dinner, which is necessity
in household economy, is indeed the unpal-
atable thing it is usually stigmatized, if salt
and pepper are the only seasonings used, but
under the touch of one who knows the secret
of the science Of seasoning, it becomes meal
wherewith the epicure can find no fault

Thiuos to Let Alone.

In this world OF frills and frivols there are
some things that had better be left unbought
and here are a few: Either green OF red
gloves; do not permit yourself to be tempted
by any smooth tongued salesman into believ
ing that anybody wears them-they don't.
Bustles; they were always bad form, and
now they are recognized as not only being
out of the line of beauty, but in extremely
bad style.
Very short skirts for the house; they are
very awkward, and belittle you from men
tai as well as physical standpoint. Keep a
pretty tea gown with bit of train.
Umbrellas with handles that look as if the
silver of the family had been put into the pot
and boiled down for this purpose; they are
worse than a green postage stamp as far as
giving the locker on cachet as to your good
taste
Earrings; a beautiful ear looks better
without them, and an ugly one should not
have attention drawn to it by them.-Ex-

A Telegram from the Pope-An Grafton
on State and School.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 2l.--The centennial
celebration of Georgetown University was
continued to-day, the exercises being under
the auspices of the Alumni Association.
CASTOR Memorial hall, in which the pro-
ceedngs were held, was handsomely deco
rated with flags, bunting and shields. The
following telegram from the pope was read
to the assembled alumni by Father Murphy;
Leo XIII. sends congratulations and best
wishes to the rector. professors and alumni.
CONGRATULATIONS FROM COLLEGES.
The University of Christiana, in Sweden,
also sent congratulations, and letters of
similar character were received from How
ard college, Michigan, Vassar, Rutgers
and Lehigh universities, and many other
institutions of learning.
The formal proceedings OF the day were
opened by the reading of Centennial ode
by Conde p. Pallen of Sts Louis, after
which the centennial oration was delivered
by Martin f. Morris of this city.
STATE AND SCHOOL.
In the course Of the grafton, Mr.. Morris
spoke of the desire of SOM persons that the
government should establish schools d
universities, appoint its own teachers and
prescribe its own course OF study. He said
that the management of education was as
far beyond the proper sphere OF govern
ment like ours as was the control of relig-
ion. BY indirection the state could and
should foster the cause Of education just as
it could and should foster the cause of re-
ligion and morality, but it was not for the
state to do this directly.
To night banquet was given, at which
the usual toasts to the university, its vari-
GUS departments, to the country, and to
sister universities were appropriately re-
sponded to.

SOUTHERN ELECTIONS.
The Republicans to Press the Resolu
ton to Vote.

UlOn TO a vote.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-There was
large attendance of republican senators at
the caucus this morning to consider the ex-
pediency of proceeding further with the de-
bate upon the resolution offered by the com
mittee on privileges and elections, provid-
ing for an investigation of elections in the
south. After free interchange of opinion
on the situation, on motion of Mr.. Cullom,
it was decided to take up the resolution
after the sundry civil appropriation bill has
been disposed Of and press it to a vote. II
is expected that the democratic senators
will oppose the adoption of the resolution to
the bitter end.
AGAIN CONSIDERED IN THE SENATE.
The Senate to-day proceeded to the con-
sideration of the resolution reported from
the committee on privileges and elections
to investigate the alleged election out
outrages in certain states. The resolution
having been read, Mr. Salisbury moved to
insert the word " bribery" and MIR. Hoar
accepted the amendment.
Mr.. Pasco moved to insert the words ''or
other unlawful use of money" and Mr..
Hoar rlso accepted that amendment.
GoRMAN's OPPOSITION.
Mr.. German took the floor in opposition
to the adoption of the resolution.
AT 2 O'Clock the sundry civil appropria-
tion bill came up, butjts consideration was
suspended long enough for Mr.. Voorhees, to
offer an amendment to the resolution as to
election outrages, directing the committee
TO inquire also whether money was cor
ruptly and unlawfully used in the control
of the election in November, 1888, in any OF
the states; and to examine into the various
sums Of money raised for such purpose, by
whom paid. by whom collected, and to
whom disbursed.

RANDALL FIRES THE FIRST GUN.
A Motion to Amend the Rules in Favor
of the Cowles Bill.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The first gun
fred in the House to-day in the contest be-
tween the ways and means committee and
the committee on appropriations was
manned by Mr. Randall, who presented
resolution to amend the rules so as to pro-
vide that on a certain date, Immediately
after the reading of the journal, the House
shall proceed in committee of the whole to
consider the Cowles bill, and at o'clock on
that date the bill shall be reported to the
House with such amendments as may be
agreed to in committee, and the previous
question shall be considered as ordered on
tue amendments, ingrosSing, and third
reading, the passage of the bill and the
vote thereon, shall be forthwith taken, and
in case the bill shall not be taken up on this
date, this shall be a continuing order in all
respects until one legislative day shall
have been occupied as herein specified,
and providing that a yea and nay
vote shall be taken on the substitute re-
ported by Mr.. Forney Of Alabama on be-
half of the minority of the appropriations
committee. After consideration of the bill
has been entered upon no dilatory motions
shall be entertained by the speaker The
resolution was referred to the committee on
rules.
Mr.. Randall also asked consent for the
immediate consideration Of the resolution
providing for the daily meeting of the
House at 10 o'clock in the morning and con-
sideration for one hour of measures called
up by unanimous consent.
Mr.. Breckenridge of Kentucky objected,
and the resolution was referred to the com
mittee on rules.

ton of the ways and means committee,
and how they had put him off time and
time again hen he begged them to report
the tobacco bill one way or another. People
did not care about what committee re-
ported the bill; they wanted the tobacco
tax cut off, and did not care how 1t came
about.
TARIFF REFORM DEFENDERS.
Mr.. Scott, of Pennsylvania, and Mr..
Breckinrdge, of Kentucky, earnestly de-
Tended the ways and means committee and
charged that the Randall bill was divorce
ment of the two wings OF the party, and
warmly protested the severance of the
tariff and revenue features of the Mills
bill. arguing that the bill represented the
result of the mature deliberations OF the
ways and means committee, and had gained
votes in the manufacturing centers.
RANDALL INSISTS.
Mr.. Randall insisted on the consideration
of the Cowles bill. In answer to Mr.. Breck-
inridge of Kentucky, he said he was en-
deavorIng TO facilitate consideration OF the
bill to repeal tie tobacco tax, and he
would not agree to abide by the
decision of the majority of the caucus. lie
added that he had reason to believe that two
democratic members of the committee on
rules would agree to report back the reso-
luton introduced by him to-day and the
speaker had done all in his power to secure
consideration of the matter during the ses-
sion.
the other speakers were Messrs. Vance of
Connecticut, Mansur and Breckenridge of
Arkansas, and Dougherty Of Florida.
No vote was reached.
CONSIDERED FIZzLE.
The caucus was fizzle, as only sixty
were present, including the members of the
ways and means committee, and nothing
was done save to talk. Although Mr.. Ran
dali had gotten the caucus up, he promptly
announced that he would not be bound by
its decision. The ways and means men
present announced, on the other hand that
they would be bound by whatever the
caucus decided. As they had not
calledN it. they did not present
any propositions to be passed upon. Mr..
Randall and his men proposed several re-
publican schemes, fore most of all being the
Randall internal revenue bill. But they
did not press a vote on any of them. The
only vote taken was on the motion to ad-
journ, which was practically unanimous.
The tariff reformers think Mr.. RandalPS
coup d'etat has already spent its force.
