THE SERVING OF NUTS.

Few Housekeepers Know How to De II
In Proper Way.
The serving of nuts on the table is
generally limited to the varieties Of ini-
ported nuts sold at the grocer-shops,
which arc often too old to be good. A
paper-shell almond very soon loses Its
flavor and becomes dry, though 1t is the
most expensive OF table nuts. OF late
years the practice OF sal ting nuts for the
table has been so much in vogue that a
dish of nuts in their shells is not as Oft
en- seen as once. Our American hazel
nuts are the same variety as the English
filberts, though the filbert is cultivated,
and is much longer and larger than an
ordinary hazelnut 1t certainly is one
OF the most delicious of table nuts, and
exceedingly picturesque served in the
husks as 1t usually is on English tablos.
Our hazelnuts are better, however, than
any imported nuts OF this kind, because
they can be obtained sound and fresh.
They will keep longer dried in the husk
in the clusters as they grow. The only
trees Of the true walnut species in this
country are the black walnut and the
butter nut. The hickory nut is an
allied tree, but is not a genuine wal
nut. Our hickory nuts are always
better than stale valnuts. and would
probably be still better II tho same caro-
was taken to cultivate them us is taken
to cultivate walnut trees in England
and elsewhere. The true walnut tree
a.. 90 aII and haa h
ably been In cultivation since then. A
salted walnut prepared in the same way
as a salted almond is worry excellent,
and hickorynut may be prepared sue
cessfully in the same way, and is much
more wholesome than when eaten raw
To salt nuts mix up q cupful OF them,
blanched where 1t is possible, with
tablespoonful OF olive oil, and lay them
on pan, stirring tcaspoonful Of salt
with them, and brown them till they
are crisp in a well-heated oven. Our
hickorynuts are genuine Americans,
being found only in this country. They
are an even more delicious nut In flavor
than the true walnut and more desir-
able were they not so small and til,
she'll so troublesome to pick. In almost
all receipts in which walnuts are used
the hickorynnt can he substituted. The
chestnut OF French cookery, from which
meal Is made to thicken soups. Is
cultivated tree allied to our own wild
chestnut. The European nut is about
double or three times the size OF the
American chestnut, but not as sweet or
fine in flavor, though bettor for the cul-
mary purposes for which 1t is used in
France and elsewhere. These large
chestnuts are imported yearly to our
market in their season for French cooks
and others who use them,-N. L. Tri-

GOWNS FOR THE HOUSE,
New Designs for Dainty and Picturcsqu
Toilets for Indoor Effects.

New Designs for Dainty and Picturesque
Toilets for Indoor Effects.
IL such a thing can be. robes d'interi
eur, which, by tho way, must not be con
founded with robes de chambre, arc
growing more elaborate than ever. The
fabrics arc more elegant, and the garni-
lures more costly. Any one II not given
to wearing these elaborate gowns, will
appreciate the ease and comfort OF O
matinee or tea jacket
The Louis XI. form permits of as ex-
tensive elaboration as. one may desire,
and II simpler design is preferred, a
graceful one Is made of mauve bengal
inc, trimmed with rufiles and insertions
OF embroidered chiffon. The ribbons
which ornament the sleeves and girdle
the waist are OF a deeper shade OF
mauve. There are some beautiful ben
galines in market, figured with self
colored polka dots and in all delicate
shades, that cost 81 25 q yard, which
would mako exquisite tea jackets and
gowns as we'll.
Pointed bands, corselets, fancy jack
cts with waistcoats, and blouse bodices
arc all fashionable styles likely to re-
main in vogue throughout the winter
The newest corsclets of passementerie
or velvet are made in Swiss belt fashion,
with slight points below the waist and
much longer and sharper points rising
on the chest in front and between the
shoulders OF the back. Yokes and
sleeves of passementerie are elegant
and costly-too much SO for the average
purse.
Here is little secret impaired for the
benofit of those who desire the effective
ness of transparent black over a colored
gown. Cut the yoke or corselet and
sleeves from Brussels net and cover
them with pattern Of vermicelli braid
ing done with fine silk cord or narrow
braid. Small disks of velvet, cut out
with sharp punch, may be gummed on
here and there throughout the pattern,
| which adds decided richness to the ef-
feet The outer edges may be bordered
with narrow Escurial lace and the re-
suit will be quite as satisfactory as
though one paid s25 or $50 for tho trim
ming ready made.
This is another new shape in millin'
cry and what our English cousins term
as smart looking. tits lined with fawn
velvet and covered on the low steeple
crown with myrtle-green velvet. The
front is sornamented with bow Of green
velvet fastened with gold buckle.
Green ostrich feather-tips are prettily
clustered together at the back The de-
sign may be effectually carried out in
all the newest combinations of colors.
| To return to costume garnitures, the
vogue for fringcs is certainly on the in
crease and no more suitable trim
ming could be found to relieve the
excessively straight lines OF the fash
ionable clinging skirts. Some of thu
newly imported gowns OF faced clotf
have the skirts bordored with passe
menterie, from which depends twisted
silk fringe three inches deep. A cloth
costume from Worth In pigeon gray has
side panels and deep basque, all the
edges OF which are cut in deep scallops
and bordered with Tom Thumb"
fringe of sewing-silk which exactly
matches the cloth.-Chicago Times.

ELECTRIC DANGERS.
Extracts From an Excellent Essay by
Prof Henry Morton.

Extracts From an Excellent Essay by
| Prof Henry Morton.
Prof. Henry Morton. in his paper on
dangers OF Electricity" read before
the National Electric Light Associa ton
Convention, shows how easily and safely
electricity can be utilized II people will
only treat 1t In careful and sensible
way. lie says: "When tho develop
ments OF electric currents, on largo
scale and at a small cost, first became
possible by reason OF tho discoveries of
Faraday, Wilde, Gramme, Siemans and
others, the question OF the dangers TO
life and property attending their use
was prominently before the public, just
rs tho dangers attending the use OF
steam. OF rapid locomotion on railroads.
and OF dynamite were brought to tho at
tention OF the world when these power
full engines first left tho experimental!
laboratory OF the chemist or engineer 10
take their part in the ordinary labor and
business Of life. In each instance alike
there was class Of people who took the
Morrow and partial view that II an
agency was dangerous 1t should be ex-
cludcd altogether from public use, or.
what amounted to the same thing, bo
surrounded with such exclusions and
limitations as would rob II OF almost all
Its capacity for usefulness and restrict
NIL possibility Of advance and develop
ment In its application" Prot Morton
recalls the fact that on the introduction
Of steam into England laws were passed
limiting tho pressure in boilers to thirty
pounds to the square inch; that the first
railroad charter contained clause
limiting the speed of trains 10 twelve
miles an hour, and that whom speed
OF thirty miles an hour was suggested
the idea was characterized by promi
nent journal OF the day rs simply insane,
and it was said that people would just
rs soon bo hurled out OF cannon as sub
NIT themselves to be hurled along at
such fearful velocity, which would
doubtless stop tho circulation OF the
blood, besides arresting other vital
functions. Butin every case tho acci-
dents and injuries produced by those
various innovating agcncies--ias trains,
high pressure boilers, dynamite and so
on-haye boon vastly less than those
caused by tho things which they
superseded. Tho fatalities by express
trains are as nothing compared
with those Of tho days OF
freight trains, and the present
loss OF lifo and injury to passengers by
rail is Insignificant In proportion TO tho
numbers carried when compared with
those OF stage coaches Tho same rela-
tions exist between accidents by high
and low pressure boilers and by dyna-
mite and gunpowder. Promising that
tho users OF electric currents have IN too
many cases neglected tho most obvious
precautions. and that the most powerful
and dangerous agencies become the most
efficient protectors AMI servants OF
man. Prof. Morton inculcates tho in
telligont and adequate control OF oloc-
trIclty, and cites number OF standard
rules, tho observance OF which, he
youches, will secure perfect immunity

A Change Not Needed.

All men are fallible-with the possible ex
ception Of the Hon. John w. Deering-and
all men make more or less mistakes. Elec-
tion to the city council doesn't change them
In this respect. We have no doubt that an
inspection Of the acts Of every city council
which Portland has ever had reveal
some errors of judgment, some expenditures,
which in the light Of subsequent events,
might have been judiciously curtailed, or
very likely increased. The city council over
which the Hon. John W. Deering had the
honor to preside is no exception, neither
have subsequent councils been. But the city
councils of Portland have never, we believe,
been guilty Of reckless or lavish expenditure
mot certainly for many years past. They
have always scanned the appropriations with
view to making them as small as the needs
of the city would admit. Some years extra
ordinary expenditures have been needed
which were not needed other years, and SO
the appropriations have varied somewhat
from year to year. But as far as the regular
and ordinary expenditures are concerned
they have varied very little for many
years past whether the administration was
Republican, DemocI attic or Deering Mayor
Melcher's administration has been as care
full and prudent as any that has preceded it.
All its acts have been exposed to the full
gaze of the public, there has been nothing to
conceal, and nothing has been concealed.
1t has been the custom for many years past
when the administration Of city affairs has
fallen into competent hands to continue
1t there for at least two years. There is no
reason for an exception in the case Of the
present administration. There is no emer-
gency which demands the recall from pri-
vate life of Mr.. Deering. The city building
does not need painting. and the Salvation
Army is not so obstreperous as to call for
suppression.

A Washington despatch in yesterdays
Argus alleged that "sincs ex.Speaker Car
Isle formally stated to the House the Demo-
cratic position. that they would wait for a
proper opportunity to take case to 'anoth-
er forum for the judicial settlement of the
quorum question, Republican members have
been in consultation and have practically
decided to avoid affording an opportunity to
test the constitutionality of Speaker Reeds
new rule. In other words, that they will not
attempt final vote on unseating a member
OF on passing an appropriation bill, except
by a majority Of all the members of the
House." Yesterdays proceedings in the
House showed how much there was in this
story. The question of seating Republi-
can contestant from West Virginia was be-
fore the House. One hundred and sixty-two-
Republicans voted to seat him-four less
than majority Of the House-and the
Democrats did not vote. Mr.. Reed, how
ever, promptly counted the silent forms" of
the Democrats present and declared the mo-
ton to seat the contestant carried. There
appears to have been no fear on the part Of
Speaker Reed and the Republicans, of that
"other forum" to which Mr.. Carlisle an
nounced his intention to appeal. The
Democrats are slow to learn but eventually
they will probably get it through their heads
that Mr.. Reed has some very settled convic.

saIlo, Reform in New Jersey.

The glaring frauds practiced at the last
election In Hudson County, New Jersey, have
created strong demand for ballot reform
law embodying all the essential features of
the Australian system. The current is set
ting so strongly in that direction that there
will probably be no attempt to offer any di-
rect resistance. That is to say, the men who
are interested to prevent any real reform be-
cause their occupation and their influence
would be gone will appear to yield to the de-
mand, and offer to take part In the construc-
tion of such law as is demanded. But sud-
den conversions to righteousness of men
who have been SHINING all their lives is al
ways open to suspicion, so these new born
ballot reforms need watching. They have
demonstrated that already, for bill has
been drawn up which allows other than Off
cIal ballots to be used. Now one Of the most
essential Of all the features Of the Australian
system is an exclusive official ballot which
cannot be obtained until The voter gets inside
the polling place. Without this the syste

instead of restricting bribery will increase
it, because the briber can obtain an unofficial
ballet, mark it for the bribed and then give
it to the latter with an Injunction to cast it
and bring back the official ballot as a guaran
tee that he has done as agreed. Thus the
briber without saying word, will be in pos
session OF best kind of proof that the man he
has bought has performed his part of the
contract 1t would be difficult to conceive of
better device to promote bribery than the
allowing OF the use of unofficial ballots. In
this state almost everybody is now apparent
ly for ballot reform. There have been some
very startling conversions. We hope they are
sincere. But 1t will do no harm to leep
close watch and see if there is not an at
tempt to modify the bill of last winter in the
direction of allowing the use of unofficial
ballots. Every ballot refCrmer should figh
such modification tooth and nail and If he
cannot defeat it he should strive to defeat
the entire bill. for the present system is pref
cradle to an emasculated Australian system.

At last we have a specific charge of waste

At last we have a specific charge Of waste
fulness and extravaganza against the present
municipal administration. 1t appears by a
letter from the Hon. John w. Deering in
yesterdays Argus that during the past year
$257 and some cents have been spent 10 re-
pairs upon the patrol barouche" used In
'carting drunkards" to the city building
Mr.. Deering is entitled to gratitude for ex-
posing this piece Of wastefulness, but more
especially for giving that ponderous cart
which resembles nothing that previous to
its advent had been seen on the earth a name.
Patrol barouche" is good, though we are
bound to say it is a trifie aesthetic for the cart
1t is intended to describe. "Carting drunk
ards" however, is out of place along side Of
patrol barouche" Mr.. Deering should
have said the ''patrol barouche employed for
the transportation of devotees Of alcohol to
the public depository beneath the DOME"
