Fl,om the Flieqende Blatter

From The FIlegelsde Blaffer
"Charlotte, my dear, how is it / find
you weeping? Have you heard bad news
from Your husband?"
ooh. worse than that! My Arthur
writes me from Karlsbad, that he would
die with ardent longing for me, were it
not that he could gaze atfectionately at
my picture and cover it with a thousand
kisses every day.
s.That is very nice of him; and pray is it
that you are crying for? | would give
anything to have such a poetic and ten
derby loving husband as you havel''
"Ah, yes, my Arthur is very poetical;
but let me tell you that, just to try him,
slipped my mothers photo into his travel
ling bag instead OF my own before he
started!r

The Origin of Visiting Cards.


AS is the case in many other in
stances, we owe the invention of visit
ing cards to the Chinese. So long ago
as the period of the Tong dynasty
(61S-900, visiting cards were known to
be in common use in China, and that
is also the date of the introduction of
the red silken cords which figure so
conspicuously on the engagement
cards of that country. From very
ancient times to the present day the
Chinese have observed the strictest
ceremony with regard to the paying
of visits. The cards which they use
for this purpose are very large, and
usually of a bright red color. When
a Chinamlan desires to marry, his
parents intimate that fact to a profess
sional s'match maker" who thereupon
runs through a list Of her visiting ac-
uuaintances, and selects one whom
she considers a fitting bride for the
young man; and then she calls upon
the young woman's parents armed
with the bridegroom's card, or which
are inscribed his ancestral name and

The May Dance at Bergen Hall.

The closing reception for the season
of Carriers Dancing Glass was held in
Bergen Hall last evening, The party
was much like a family one, only the
friends OF the scholars being present.
A number of exhibitions of five dane
ing we're given which showed careful
training on the part of the instructor.
A gypsy dance was well executed by
Misses Florence Hutchinson, Lille
Joergens, Florence Douglass, Florence
Smith, Lulu Stubenvall, Mabel
Cairns, Edna Brown and Clara Erik
leigh. The hoop pole dance was very
pretty and was executed by Misses
Florence Douglas, Florence Smith
and Lille Cartier. The most beauti-
full exhibition of the evening was the
minuet, Louis XVII 1t was executed
by six young ladies in costume as fol-
Iows:-Misses ClaraW hinyates, Maude
Hitler, Evaline Andrade, May Hutch
ms, Grace Finn and Lille Cartier.
Miss Lizzie Freleigh won much ap-
plause by her fine exhibition of the
Highland fling.

Pansies are about gone, and in their
place / see the stately tulips and
fragrant hyacinths, whose perfume is
waited through the open windows OF
the pretty homes that they help to
make beautiful.
The part of the city known as Ber-
gen has donned its gala day appear
ance, and has never looked lore
beautiful than during this pleasant
May weather. The people in this
portion of the city take great pride in
the appearance of their lawns, and
much care is expended in keeping
them beautiful. The directing of this
generally falls to the lot of the ladies,
who take particular delight in having
the exterior as we'll as the interior of
their residences pretty to look at, The
tulip trees, which are now in full
bloom, | have noticed in nearly all of
the grounds, and the lovely blossoms
well reward one for the trouble of car
ing for the shrub. Bridal wreath
yigeria rose, Glove shrub and white Ii
laes are seen every where, mingled
with more expensive plants.
Many of the ladies who undertake
to superintend this part of gardening
much prefer to have only the smooth,
close shaven lawn, with an urn or two
filed with geraniums or some pretty
flowers, rather than to care for the
flower beds or shrubs. They gener-
ally, with each season, indulge IN
some new idea or fad, and when there
happens to be nothing particularly at
tractive in this line the grass is al
lowed the freedom of the place, and
generally makes a satisfactory decora-
ton.
The beautiful grounds about the
Clifford residence ON Bergen avenue,
near Bently avenue, always attract
the attention of passers by, who can
not help but admire them. Large
trees cast a welcome shade about the
house, and Towering shrubs are
everywhere. A number of fine statues
are placed in the grounds and add a
pleasing effect. Mrs. Clifford exercises
much taste in directing the style in
which the grounds are laid out.
Adjoining the Clifford home is the
fine residence of Mr.. Daniel Toffey,
which also has large and handsome
grounds about it. Artificial means
were used more than by their neigh
Dor to decorate the place, and rare
plants and gorgeous imported flowers
bloom here continually.
In arranging the large lawn about
the house of Mrs. George Helme, of
Bergen avenue, exquisite taste has
been brought to bear by the lady in
the simple but picturesque style in
which the grounds i beautified.
Mrs. Thomas P. Sherwood, who
lives on Communipaw avenue, is also
fond of having the lawn about her
house in perfect order and tastefully
planted with new and pretty flowers.
Mrs. George Fielder and Mrs. Will
liam E. Hallenbeck, both of Summit
avenue, are among some of the resi-
dents of Bergen who delight in making
the grounds about their houses taste
full and pretty.
But soon the ummer glory of Ber-
gen will be over, for the residents are
now preparing to leave the city for
summer resorts, and the houses will
be closed and deserted until the chill
autumn days shall bring the owners
home.

A Society woman's Penance.

From the Boston Saturday Evening Gazette.
A unique penance was performed
during Holy Week by a prominent
society woman. Clad in a working
gown and equipped with soap and
towels she went to the Church of the
Advent and slowly and conscientiously
scrubbed the steps of that edifice, and
the observation most commonly made
in the proceeding was;-"She is the
only woman in Boston who dares do
such a thing There are those, how
eve who remember the penitent who
boiled the peas he placed in his shoes
when they recall the fact that the
lady was taken to and from the scene
of her Lenten humiliation in her car
riaee.

the eight symbols which denote the
day of his birth. If the answer is an
acceptance of his suit, the brides card
is sent in return; and should the ora
Giles prophesy good concerning the
union, the particulars of the engage
ment are written on two large cards,
tied together with the red cords.

The Sunday Morning News.

4nc SuINlay bNOElAhS IC"Ss
Tomorrow's SUNDAY MORNING
NEWS will afford a great opportunity
to merchants who desire to advertise
their spring ~specialities in this COM
munity. THE SUNDAY MORNING
NEWS now has the largest circulation
of any paper published in Jersey City.
This is a fact that no person
pretends to question. Represent
ing, too, as it does the
opinion of the political majority, it
may fairly claim to be the leading
paper in the city and county. Per
haps, it would not be premature to
claim that it is the leading democratic
paper In the State. At least, at this
moment, we do not think of any rival
worth considering.
That we can offer our advertisers a
wider publicity than ever, tomorrow,
is proven by the orders which are al
ready ON the Business Managers desk
These prove c~onclusively that the pos
sible limit of circulation for this paper
has been by no means reached, al
though we should think we must be
measurably approaching it week after
week. Still we have not as yet
noticed any diminution in the ratio of
growth.
THE SUNDAY MORNING News now
circulates extensively in every portion
of Hudson county, except Harrison
and Kearney, a section, which, for
some unknown reason, APP
pears to be more nearly
allied to Newark than to this
city, In Bayonne, however, on the
one hand, and in Hoboken and North
Hudson on the other, the number d
uH-Le.F f.H L
copies which are put out every wee k
is far in excess of the circulation of
any Jersey City or local paper, and
falls not far short of the number sold
by the New York dailies,
Since THE SUNDAY MORNING NEWS
took its new shape as an eight page
paper, it has assumed new relations to
the Hudson County public. Formerly
people took it as a supplement to
the New York papers, merely for it's
Hudson County news. Now they
buy it as a substitute for the tedious
and costly blanket sheets which CON
tain next to no news of special interest
to them.
All the matters of general interest
treated in the New York papers are
we'll reported in the SUNDAY MORN
ING NEWS, while all that mass Of
matter in which residents of New
York alone are interested, is elimin-
ated, the space which the New York
papers devote to it being appropriated
in the SUNDAY MORNING NEWS to
the special particular interests and
concerns of this city and county,
Well, THE SUNDAY MORNING NEWS
has become a metropolitan" paper,
and the reading public have given it
a royal support.

Preserving Eggs.

make a special business of preserving eggs
in sufficient quantities to make it pay.
When / say impossible | am sustained by
the past for know of no one who is en-
gagged in such business on a scale to make
it really worthy of being called a business,
and [ say impossible not because there is
any difficulty in preserving eggs but be-
cause there are other conditions required
which have nothing to do with the meth
od of preservation
1t is easy enough to preserve eggs for
your own use, collected by you, from nests
in which your own hens have layed; espe-
cially if the flock is well managed, and do
not lay in the horse troughs, or steal their
nests, but deposit their eggs in places you
have prepared for them, for then YOU know
that your eggs are fresh, and that no
stale eggs are among them. But the mo-
ment you begin to buy eggs you incur risk.
You may not even go on the market, but
buy from your neighbor. The neighbor
may be honest but he may not take the
same care of his flock as you, or use the
same precautions, hence a stale egg may
find it's way into the basket and if it does
it will spoil the whole. Be as careful as
you may you will not miss thesta eggs.
Only the fresh-layed eggs can be used.
To attempt to travel over the country
and buy up eggs, or to procure them from
the store from neighbor, or on the mar
ket, in order to preserve them will result
i'll loss. The stale nest egg will turn up
inevitably, for it is a filthy nuisance that
has not been banished from the farm yard
yet, for if ninety and nine persons should
discard it and the one hundredth did not,
your cause would still bein jeopardy. An
egg is an unknown quantity" that no
algebraic symbol will reveal. and knowl-
edge of that which you have sought only
comes when it is too late To enter into
the business of preserving eggs for rise
in prices you must keep your own hens.
You can not succeed in any other way
and even then you must be as careful as
possible.
When stale egg finds it's way among
the better ones it seems to affect them in
the same manner that one rotten apple
will ;ontaminate all the others in a bar
rel. The decomposing elements seem to
set every other egg in activity, especially
if preserved by some liquid process, and
as the stale egg soon bursts, by expan-
sion of gases, the contents are mingled
with the liquid. Ii preserved by the dry
process, (such as packing in SALTY thecon-
tents soak through the salt (or other
materiaD and come in contact with the
fresh eggs.
Another drawback is the suppositiOn
that it is only necessary to pack eggs and
allow them to remain until desired for
market That is the rock upon which
many hopes have been wrecked. The
eggs must be turned half about twice
week Once every day is better, but
twice a week will answer. When large
numbers of eggs are preserved the turn
ing of the eggs becomes a matter of more
labor than the majority are willing to be-
stow. They must also be kept cool, the
cooler the better, only they should not
be kept as low as the freezingpoint. The
