ITALIAN MACARONl.


The Process by which This Wholesome
Food Is Made
Macaroni is an Italian invention, and
though the process OF its manufacture
is very simple, it has never been pro-
duced SO successfully in any other
country. This is said to be because
Italian macaroni is made from pecuI-
lar kind OF wheat named grano duro.
or hard grain. At first it was import
ed at considerable expense from the
Russian territories on the Black sea.
This grain which is now extensively
grown by the farmers of Southern
Italy is said to possess much greater
amount of gluten than other varieties
of wheat. and to be therefore better
adapted for the macaroni manufacture.
Its kernel is very small. After the
wheat has been washed tits hulled and
ground and passed through several
sleeves to separate the finer from the
coarser -four. Five qualities are
obtained by as many siftings,
the last the finest that can
be made The -four is mixed with hot
water to the consistency of stiff
dough, and is then kneaded by means
of wooden pole fastened to post and
worked up and down upon the paste;
or the cheaper grades are often made
| by treading the dough with the feet.
When the paste has been kneaded for
a long time it is put into a trough or
iron vessel containing large number
of small holes of two sizes, the paste
passing throug the smallest becoming
vermicelli. Over the larger holes are
little copper bridges, from which cop
per wire passes through each hole. and
this makes the hollow tubes of the
macaroni. When this vessel is filed
with the dough press is driven in
upon it, and as fast as it is forced
through the holes workman takes up
the macaroni or vermicelli. as the case
may be, and lays it across a line to dry
in lengths of two or three yards, after
which it is ready for market. A cur
rent of hot air passing through the
tubes and strings as they are being
formed partially cooks them, and they
are dried by hot-air currents. SO that
in preparation for the table no long
cooking process is necessary for this
food. CHICAGO Inter- Ocean.

The Borsen Zeitung vouches for
this statement: 'ln 1873 the Grown
Prince Frederick William caused
twelve copies to be taken by a copper
plate process of the diary which he
kept during the Franco-German war.
OF these copies he presented one each
to persons who particularly enjoyed
his confidence, the plate being after
ward destroyed. The recipients were
requested to take special care that the
diary was on no account published un-
til fifty years after the death of its
author"
A gentleman who has tried it
vouches for this story: Taking a gal
lon jug of whisky. he passed cord
through its cork. which cord dropped
TO the bottom of the jug. The Irvine
was then introduced into watermelon
vine, by Sitting the vine, and the
vine permitted to produce only two
melons. When the melons were ma
tured they were served at a private
barbecue to six gentlemen. The effect
was astonishing. The gallon OF whisky
got in its work. Not a drop of the
liquor remained in the jug when the
melons were ripe.

The Privacy I'm which She II K.pt -

The Privacy I'm which She II Kept -
Her Almond Eyed Lord.
The privacy Of the Chinese ladies IN
New York is positively inyiolate as far
as Americans are concerned. The new
wife Of Yuet Sing lives at No. 10 Mott
street. Cinnamon say that the bride is
the prettiest girl ever brought to this
country from China. She is not quite
eighteen years old, and il very diminu-
tive, her height lacking several inches
of five feet, and her weight being only
eighty-five pounds. She was nego-
tiated for, after the Chinese fashion.
by an agent Of the bridegroom. She
cost over 5000, and he means to
keep her to himself. Even at the mar
riage ceremony in the jost house she
was made to hide her face behind fan,
although the only witnesses present
were few carefully-chosen Cinnamon.
At her own reception. subsequently.
only Chinese women were present.
This was the affair to which a party
of Fifth avenue swells desired earnestly
TO go. but from which they were ex-
cluded as unworthy. just rs they them
selves shut out other people. In a
conversation on the subject Mrs. Will
lam X. Vanderbilt remarked that she
had an ardent desire to see some Chi
nese women.
THAT would be difficult" replied =
clergyman familiar with the subject.
"because the Chinese women in this
city are kept sedulously secluded.
There are something like 10000 Chi
nese in New York and its immediate
neighborhood. Probably 200 of them
are females. By great effort several
hundred Of the men have been gathered
into Sunday-schools, but never q
| single woman or girl. To subject q
woman to the slightest publicity is to
degrade her, according to the time
honored belief of the Chinese. aud no.
body here has yet been able to contro
vert that doctrine successfully"
It is further fact that the China
men who go to Sunday-schools do no
in the least abate their conviction tina
women who mingle with men are nee
ossarily blameworthy to that extent
These fellows may treat their Sunday
school teachers-wnn are not only al
ladies, but are proporuoned at the
rate of one to each and every pupil
with a polite show of respect, blu
they can not be brought to regar,
them as good women in the sense tina
secluded Chinese women are good
This notion crops out repeatedly il
the Sunday-schools. and nothing cal
eradicate it from the Chinese mind. =

STRUGGLES FOR DRESS.
Every Society Woman Wants a New Gov
for Each Separate Occasion.

Every Society Woman Wants a New Gown
for Each Separate Occasion.
Il may safely say that there is grea,
strife among society ladies in the mat
ter of dresses. You see the people in
our best society, whose patronage we
have, are exclusive. They live among
themselves. They are seen and OBJ
served by one another wherever they
go, whether to the opera. driving.
dining out. or to balls. The idea pre-.
walls among them that it would never
do for a lady to be seen twice in the
same dress. For this reason it be-
circle to have a new dress for each
separate occasion. Then, you see,
she must have her opera dress, her
carriage-dress, her dining dress, her
| full dress, etc, all for each occasion.
What is the average number OF
dresses for IL season with these ladies?"
well, let me see. In the winter,
what with operas. balls. dinners and
all, suppose new dress nearly every
day is the rule. At least five new
dresses week is the average. In the
winter season | suppose that every
married lady has at least fifty new
dresses"
Then they would average two hun
dred yearP'
mo; not so high as that. You see
the winter season is more exacting,
and there is a greater variety of life.
| should think that the number would
average one hundred dresses year. "
And how do the prices of these
range?'
We'll. from $3.50 upward for mar
iied ladies. For young ladies the price
runs from $50 upward. For married
ladies more trimming, more elaborate
styles are required"
Has this craze for so many dresses
been long in fashion,
We'll, it extends back some five
years"
''Is there any special reason for this
extreme tendency now?"
There Is the general increase in the
lavish expenditure of money which
more and more characterizes our soci
ETY. people. Then there is the specia
cause TO be found in increased variety
in color in dresses. 1t used to be tina
, | a few dresses sufficed because there
were only IA few colors and the dresse.
, were more simple. A blue, pink ant
black dress would make an outfit EN-
, bracing the colors in vogue. Now tn,

iNSiO,OUS DRUGS.
Something About Anti-Pyrine and Similar
Seductive Remedies.

Seductive Remedies.
At late meeting of the doctors of
France at Marseilles part of the pro-
gramme was an excursion to Algiers;
and before they sailed one among them
announced the preventive virtues of
anti-pyrine in sea-sickness. Now"
said he, there is an opportunity to
test its value in way rarely occur
ring. Here are hundred and fifty
doctors of us going to sea, not one of
whom is a sailor. Let us all take the
drug, sail across the middle sea like
veterans and enjoy our little trip like
old salts. "
Adopted. So every doctor armed
himself with capsules of anti-pyrine
and began to take them as the ship
swung out of the dock and headed for
Africa; and in half an hour after
ward that society. without ex-
ception, was laid out. They stuck
manfully to the remedy, determined 10
give it fair play; but when they landed
in the morning. IA dragged-out, dilapl-
dated-looklng set, the vote that anti
pyrine was miserable delusion in
sea-sickness. passed by a large vote-a
strictly unanimous one.
AS temporary relief for headache
it has considerable value; but it is as
insidious as choral and even more
seductive. All these drugs have about
the same biography. They come in
with trumpet blast and beat of drum,

themselves among the people like

A Southern Writer Tells Western Farm
ers How to Utilize Grasshoppers.

ers How to Utilize Grasshoppers.
The grasshopper plague in Minne-
sofa has assumed so serious a charac-
ter that the farmers around St. Paul
have decided to pay 81 bushel for the
insects, in order to stimulate the efforts
for their destruction. In Venezuela,
recently, prize of $4,000 was offered
to any body who would invent a means
of profitably converting locusts into
grease or any other useful article. We
can not claim originality for the idea,
but why not adopt the Indian system?
The aboriginal farmers of the plains.
we have been told heretofore. do not
regard the grasshopper as an unqual-
fled evil When their wheat crops
grow undisturbed by these insects the
Indians eat the wheat after it has been
prepared in the usual way. When the
grasshoppers come and eat the wheat,
however, the Indians eat the grass
hoppers. In this way they are always
sure of good crop of one kind or the
other, and are happy in any event.
There is authority for the statement
atable, the testimony of white men
who have dined on them being that
they have erich, nutty taste" not I'M
like peanuts, or something of that sort,
and that the most squeamish person
would enjoy them if served up in bat
| ter or under some other name. We do
not care to press the subject too far,
but why not give the frisky visitors
chance to redeem their reputation by
transferring them from the field to the
| kitchen-from the furrow to the frying
PAM The Indian holds the oyster and
shrimp in scorn, and his, we know. is
blind and unreasonable prejudice.
Why not learn from him at the same
time that we teach him to esteem oui
delicacies? Let our friends in Mime
sofa, then, name the grasshopper the
..prairie shrimp" for instance, and
gather him in and make the most o.
him.-Chdrteston Nea0s.

ABOUT ORIENTAL RUGS.

How These Popular ARTICLES Of Utility
and Elegance Are Made.
One sometimes confounds the rugs o!
Karabagh with those OF KAYAK. mas
much as they resemble each other in
appearance and designs, but when one
considers that the former are always
rectangular and the latter square their
distinction can be readily determined,
despite the similarity in general ap-
pearance.
The looms of the people of Afghan
istan and Bsloochistan vary much il
dimension, but in those from the lat.
ter country the length is always pro.
portionate to the width One does
not find rugs here greater than three
or three and one-half meters by two OF
two and one-half meters. The rugs
from Afghanistan are made on looms
much of the same cheracter as the
Karabagh loom, and therefore the
width may not surpass certain lii nit.
In Oushak. Gordez and the other
countries of Turkey. a fabric is made
Of almost any dimension. according to
the means at their disposal and the
progress which this industry has
made in the Asiatic provinces of the
Ottoman Empire. The operation OF
weaving as practised in Asia Minor
does not differ essentially from the
methods in use in the Caucasus, but
the popularity of Smyrnas can best be
attested by the fact that there is ex
ported annually of these rugs about
three hundred thousand square meters.
This process is carried on, OF course,
without the aid OF the shuttle, the only
utensils requisite being an iron comb
large clumsy knife, stick of wood
tokmak "a kind of mallet) and a pail
of scissors. The fringe. which one
often sees at the two extremities of I;
rug, are the two particles of tn read
which are bound around the bars o
the loom, and which are cut on com
pletion Of the rug.
One can hardly form an idea of thu
enormous work and monotony in tn,
weaving of rug, which, as is ex
| planned above, is made by the uniol
of millions OF knots by the hand. S,
familiar do these women become witt
the operations of weaving, that it i
with difficulty one can see their hands
so quickly do they manipulate tn
threads. N. Y. Mail and Express.
