THE MILxMA1p WON ms me- ~,

n story comes to the clubs from a sum-
ner resort about wealthy but not over
beautiful girl who has been receiving
marked attentions from very handsome
young Englishman of excellent family. to
such degree that her friends have taken
ltfor granted that the two were soon to start
together down the lane of roses and thorns,
with clasped hands and trusting hearts.
One day these lovers rode together out
to the estate of Il gentleman farmer who
was friend of the young woman's family.
AS they were gallopng along the road
toward the house they saw girl coming
across the meadow.
ION, there's Maggie with milk pail,
and I'm so thirsty Pm going to wait for
her to come up, and then ask her for n
drink"
This was said by the young lady, and
us she spoke she drew up her horse, her
companion following suit. Maggie came
up to where they were and said n timid
good morning. With her brown hair
struggling down over her young shoulders,
her large blue eyes, delicate brown face
and neck, and tall, slim figure, she pre-
sented picture of striking beauty as she
stood there assuring the young lady on
the horse that she was quite welcome to
all the milk she could drink. And turn
ing her eyes upon the handsome Young
Englishman, she said:
"And you, sir, too, can also"
But she became confused at that point,
and biushed furiously under the gaze of
the captivated gentleman OH the horse.
The lovers rode away, leaving Maggie
looking after them in the centre of the
road
"Who is that2" asked the young man
of his companion. Zone of the farm
hands?"
sob, no indeed" was reply. "That
IS Margaret, Mr.. BIS youngest tlaugh-
ter. Pretty little thing, isn't she? Lives
here the year round, and is rs simple as a
wood violet. SIilks cows, darns stock
ings, and raScs hay. She's very differ
ent from the other girls, who all spend
their winters in New York. But she's
only sixteen. She'll have II taste of the
city in year or so more, and then 1
guess she'll stop milking cows"
This all occurred month ago. The
engagement of the young Englishman was
announced this week. But he is not to
marry the wealthy girl who wanted him
SO much. He won Maggie and her father
IN just three weeks, and it is declared
that more beautiful pair of lovers never
graced a hotel parlor than this milkmaid
and her sturdy young sweetheart iNe,o

ROOMS TIE QUEEN LOCKS UP.

AS is well known, Queen Victoria is in
The habit of keeping rooms which have
been occupied by deceased relatives locked
up. The apartments at Claremont in
which the Princess Charlotte died more
than seventy years ago are vigorously
closed, and nobody is allowed to use
them. Prince Albcrt's apartments at
Windsor, Osborne and Balmoral arc all
kept precisely us they were when he was
alive, and on the wall of the room i'm
which lie expired there is tablet with
an inscription recording the fact that
''this apartment was the scene OF his de-
mise" The Duchess Of Kents rooms mt
Frogmorc arc also shut up-an arrange
mcnt which renders that abode abso-
lutcly useless, inasmuch US they arc the
best in the house. Frogmore, by the
way, is officially part of Windsor Cas-
tie, and any repairs that are done there
go INTO the castles account. The Queen
has also kept John Browns rooms at
Windsor closed since the death of that
domestic, and large brass has been

CLEANSING oILcIorI1

Oilcloth ought never to be scrubbed
with brush, but after being swept may
be cleaned by washing with soft flannel
and lukewarm water or cold tea. On no
account use soap or water that is hot, as
either would have a bad effect on the
paint. When the oilcloth is dry rub it
with small portion of IL mixture of bees
wax, softencd with minute quantity of
turpontinc, using for this purpose soft
furniture polishing brush. The follow
ing is also used to make oicloths look

each; rub them once in three months
with boiled linseed oil; put on very
little and rub it we'll in with rag and

QUEER COLOR NAMES.

Did 1t ever occur to you what list OF
the fantastic names for shades and tints
that fashion has invented2 For instance,
mousse d'eau, the name of a color de,
scribed as scum on a stagnant pond,
ph@bus, copper tint; nymphc, a pale
flesh tint; terre d'Alsace, agail, cendre
dc rose, bois dc violette. There are q
host of these fanciful names, and it would
be almost refreshing to get hold of some
names as easily comprehended as crushed
strawberry or shrimp pink, but at present
these are triae demode. A diction-
airy of color will DO needed soon
if fashion is allowed such liberty OF
imagination. Who would ever imagine
that Hindoo translated into plain English
means simply hazel brown? Iguana,
celadon and lily leaf are tints of green.
In yellow, there are champagne and
sulphur. The Turkestan is one of the
blues, and porcelain, admiral, veronica
and myosotis are all varieties of the same
color. japanese varnish is the name OF
n certain shade of pink; wallhower, cigar.
ash, gull, blue-fox, gray, cocoanut

Eating Raw FISH.

A correspondent who dined in Japan
describes wildly the sensations produced
by eating raw fish: "The whole fish was
there, his head and shining blue eyes, his
tail and fins, but at n touch the shape
came apart, and lay in thin slices upon
the bones, a miracle of the carver's art.

of caviare and onions is an event in q

garlic have made episodes in every career,
but to close the jaws ON slice of cold,
raw fish, and have the clammy, rubber.

sense of its being something lately dead,
something corpsey, is sickening. One
slice filled me almost to OVERLOOKING, and
confined myself to the garnish."

Tie railroads of the United States from
entering the metropolis. Consider the
enormous amount OF traffic and what its
rranshipment means Dewitt G.. Ilaskin
conceived the idea of a tunnel under thu
river. n company was formed and it
was decided to build two parallel tun.
malls, each 5000 feet long, is feet high
and 16 feet wide. About 1000 feet OF
the north and $50 feet of the south tuu-
mel were completed under the river and
then the money gave out. The working
shafts ut both shore ends are complete
and the works are abundantly supplied
with machinery. The company has leg
islativc authority TO condemn such real
estate as it needs for terminal facilities
both in New York and Jersey City. In
Jersey City the terminus will be in close
proximity to the great trunk lines center
ing there. On the New York side the
tunnel will come to tic surface at Nor.
ton street, and the tracks will by easy
gradients reach Broadway only 16 feet
below the street level. The terminals
will cover $50, 600 square feet in New
York and n larger area in Jersey City.
The Brooklyn bridge cost $13, 900, 900,
and its passenger traffic exceeds 30, 000,-
600, end its earnings $3.50, 600 year,
while at the same time the East river
ferries carry more passengers than before
it was opened. The distance across the
Hudson at the tunnel site is three and Il
half times that across the East river ut
the Bridge site. The terminus on the
New York side will tnp street railways
that will carry 100000, 900 passengers
annually.
A simple statement of these facts has
been sufficient to secure enough English
capital to complete the work. Some So
600, 900 has already been expended.
This will be represented by portion OF

Success and pleasant compliments i'm

cuRRANrs IN TEMPTING ror,ls.

Currant jam is made by stemminc and
washing the berries, adding no water,
but two-thirds the quantity of sugar, and
stirring and simmering for one hour. or
till Il smooth and even mass.
Currant preserve is made of equal
weight of fruit and sugar, cooked

somewhat the shape Of the currants.
Iced currants make beautiful dessert.
especially the red and white varieties
mixed. Take the clean, whole lunches,
aud dip them, holding by the stem, into
beaten white of egg, then into finely
powdered sugar, dry for an hour, and
then repeat.
Another currant dessert, very orna-

Soak two ounces of gclatine in two cups

stiifcns, add the frothcd white of three
eggs, and beat all till it is stiff froth.
Pour into mold, and put near the ice.
This should be made the day before it is
wanted. This dish may be varied by
making it sweeter, and serving with
favored whipped cream poured around
it.
Currant hummcry is another pleasing
dessert. Get the juice from two quarts
OF currants and strain very clear; add one
pint OF granulated sugar Now take out
one pint of the currant juice and blend
with it one-half pint of ground rice. It
must he very smooth and free from Jumps.
Then put the remainder of the juice into

served with sweetened cream.
Currant Bavarian Cream-Thc flavor
OF currants in cream is especially agree
able, but they require more sugar from
their acid nature tf.an most fruit or ber-
rics to make it an acceptable dish. Cove,
one ounce of gelatinc with half Gun of
cold water for one hour, then put over
the fire and add one pint of currant Juice,
one cup and half of sugar, bring just to
boil and strain into large earthen
bowl, set in cool place and stir till it

cream and whip all well together and put
into molds and upon ice. In warm
weather it should be chilled upon the ice
before stirring.
Canned currants require so much sugar
to make them good, that to make them
into jam or preserve is the better way:
but white currants are preferable to the
red for the purpose. They must have a
pound OF sugar to every pound of fruit,
be handled carefully and canned like any
other berry.
Spiced currants to serve with meat are
an agreeable relisi. To four quarts of
currants washed and stemmed, add two
and one-half quarts of light brown sugar,
one spoonful of ground cinnamon, one of
ground cloves and half spoonful of
ground allspice, also one pint of vinegar.
Mash the currants, stir often and cook
slowly for two hours.-Me,o York hide
