low oil the small ones to pass through.
OF these save pint, of even size, laying
them in cold water. Put all the rest
into three quarts of boiling water con.
tanning two tablespoonfuls of salt and
boil them fast until they are tender,
drain them in q colander, wash them

spoonful of salt; boil them until tender,
drain them, wash them in cold water and
let them stand in it. As soon as you
put them on to boil begin to make the
soup by stirring over the fire two tea
spoonfuIs each of butter and flour, and
when they are quite smooth adding
gradually one quart of hot milk and
stirring constantly until it is free from

water, season with pepper and nutmeg,
but do not add any salt until after oil the
peas are in. Set it where it will keep
hot without burning. Rub the peas first

MANGERs.

Fixed or permanent managers as gen.
eral rule save time aad labor in feeding
stock. All animals should have low
hangers, otherwise the muscles of the
neck become stiff or contracted by the
non-use of natural exercise. This is most
readily observable in race horses and stall
lions which are confined in stalls. For
such, tub or box should be used and
removed from the stall Immediately after
feeding. But the special advantage of
movable feed trough is found in the case
of animals which have discharge from
the nostrils, as the soiled feed vessels can
be more readily and completely cleansed.
Horses long confined in the cities, whose
working lives are spent in severe con-
fnement in cramped stalls with high hay
racks and feed-boxes, when from lame
ness OF injury arc sent to the country to
pasture for recovery or recuperation, suf-
fer severe pain in grazing. If this is not
soon discovered, the horse is returned to
the owner in O half-starved condition,
and the poor beast is fit subject for the

Animals.-America Asriculturist.

FASHIONS IN UNDERL1NEN.

The fashion of the moment is trimming
underlinen with narrow insertion,
through which baby ribbon is run. The
collars when turned down should reach
to the shoulders and the wide cuffs al
most to the elbow, being tied with
wider ribbon to match the narrow at the
neck and cuffs. These nightgowns open
the entire length with lace and have
frill of lace at the hem. They are gener-
ally gathered at the waist, so that they
look like q full bodice, but of course
without in anyway confning the figure.
Sometimes the cuffs of nightgowns are
made straight, turned upward, with a
double hem of silk or batiste or some
positive color joined on to the white
with narrow veining insertion. Occa-
slonally the color is introduced as small
embroidered forets worked in fax
threads. Vesy full frillings, with but
tonhole of color at the edge, are put on
almost as full as the lisse frills on para
soils. Nightgowns are made with pretty
outside pockets on the left side, and the
monogram or initials are often placed on
q shield.shaped device.-Nsu York

"Nothing is more closely identified
With women's dress to-day than ribbons.
What, then, is the origin of ribbon9
You can discover it very simply by look
ing at the long fringe of strips into

YOU please. Why does the savage go to
the trouble of cutting the beasts hide
into s,lch strips4 1t is because the eye is
pleased by waving curves. When savage

this idea was retained. and so at present

CUEESECAKEs.

The real old-fashioned cheesecakes re-
quire the curd of milk for basis. They
are great favorites with the Jewish pso-
pie and are liked by many Americans as
we'll. The recipe given here is from q
Jewish lady famous for her cookery of
many national dishes. Rub the curd
from one gallon of milk in coarse cloth
until free from whey; work into it six
ounces of butter, one and half soda
crackers rolled fine and an equal quantity
of bread crumbs; add half teaspoonful
of cinnamon and little salt, the yelks of
FIVE eggs and the whites of three; six
ounces Of fine sugar, tablespoonful of
brandy and half a pint of cream. Mix
these ingredients thoroughly and rub
through o coarse sieve before adding
half pound of washed and dried cur
rants and half an ounce of citron minced
very fine. Line pie dishes or patty pans
with rich paste, fill with the mixture and
bake in a rather brisk oven. Twenty
minutes should suffice.-American Agri-
eultmist.

SHAMPOO PARTIES.

A new form of morning entertainment
made its appearance at Bar Harbor, Me-,
this season, and, having gained foot
ing at that place, it will probably not be
long in becoming popular at the other
resorts of fashion and wealth. Men see
and appreciate the hairdresser's work
when it is we'll done upon the head of a
beautiful girl, but they do not stop to
think what an "awful bore" it must be
to tho girl to sit for an hour with no as
sociate other than prating professional
hair-dresser or a feather r-brained lady's
maid. Girls of to-day do net like that
sort of thing and the intention of the
shampoo party or hair-dressing party is
the immediate result. Cards for this new
sort of social function read about as fol-
lows:

bits of cardboard are pretty sure to &C.
cept, and at the original one given a
large number did accept. Those who
had maids took them and there was o
professional hair-dresser for those who
were maidless. There were refreshments
of the light and iudigestible sort to be
had at confectioners', and they were
passed around as the guests sat in circle
for the shampooing. Of course there was
no gossip. It was understood that sew
eral of those who were guests at the in.

similar ones of their own. Truly the in.

ure. This was very kind of the mer.
chants, when the easier way would have
teen to send for q policeman; but mer-
chants have sensitive feelings for rich and
high minded families, you know, and, if
obliged to unearth their skeletons, make
haste to help conceal then, again. In
this case, the skeleton, which had always
been kept locked in the lady's private
closet, was made up of boxes of gloves,
laccs and ribbons, neatly labeled by her
own hand. 1t was found that the goods
once placed there were never removed,
but they were always of this class, and
never obtained from any but the Sixth
avenue stores. Ample reparation was
made to the merchants, as they had
counted upon, and the affair was kept
from all the world, including the guilty
one herself, the highest authorities in
such cases advising the latter measure.
This, too, was very kind and considerate
of the feelings Of q rich family, you
know. AS to the subject of this exces-
sive kindness, you would never suspect,
when listening to her brilliant converse
ton, or seeing her dispense the hospital
tiles of her elegant home, that she is
sufferer from this dreadful form of demen-
tia. In fact, she is not; the real sufferer
is quite another person.
The kleptomaniac is always accom-
panied by pale, lovely girl, whose sad
and hopeless expression is in marked
contrast to the placid content of her
own. The young girl watches every
movement of her charge, often with the
sensitive blood flooding her pale cheeks,
and when the mornings work is over she
steps to the cashiers desk and pays for
all goods purchased or otherwise OBJ
tanned. Three years ago her approach"
ing marriage was announced by all the
silver trumpets of the Four Hundred.
When she learned, however, of her
mothers infrrnity, she severed the en-
gagement, withdrew from society,
clothed herself in the weeds of mourning,
and assumed the guardianship of her
who had wrecked, unconsciously, all
her life. The lover nobly pleaded to
share her care and risk with her the
threatened disgrace, pleaded in vain,
and became a wanderer in foreign lands.
Society understood that the lovers quar-
relied, and shook its wise head over
their folly. The mother heard only
society's version of the affair, and was
rather proud of her daughters strong
minded way of bearing the death of love
and hope in her bosom. So she main.
tains her serenity, sounds the deeps of
literature, augments her skeleton dimen-
sions undisturbed by the rattling of
bones, and is totally oblivious to the
nun-like remuneration of her lovely
daughter.

TIE BEST BUTTER.

! What is perfect butter9 Perhaps
there is something that constitutes the
ideal article, as there probably is in the
fine arts, but up to the present writing
no one has yet been able to make an ar
ticle so perfect as to suit ell tastes. Here
are some very practical suggestions as to
what the market demands in the way of
fine butter from the pen of Professor
Cooke, of Vermont:
! "The best butter is that which best
suits the taste of the person for whom it
is made. The keeping quality is no
longer considered essential. The con-
sumers want to be as near the churn as
possible. They no longer want high
favored article, but most persons of q re-
fined taste like it nearly like sweet
cream in taste. Agents urge the merits
of their various systems of butter max
ing. By following out the season it will
probably be seen that every one has
taken o first prize, perhaps several.
Every one has also made abominable
butter. The man, the COW and the feed
have more influence than the system.
Dairymen are wisely changing their
herds so that they may engage in winter
dairying and so come up to the times.
The methods of to-day are very different
from those of twenty-five years ago.
Less labor is required, while the quality
is much better. A man whose taste for
good butter has been educated is willing
to pay for it, but will demand three
things. A clean COW, giving healthy
milk, good feed and cleanliness in every
stage of the process. As regards ensil-
age-feed butter, no expert can tell this
in the world if properly done, unless the
odor is absorbed by the milk after it is
drawn. When this is fed the stables
must be we'll ventilated and free from
the odor. The cream should be churned
as soon as the acid appears so as to get
that creamy taste. In the winter the
cream will churn better if thinned with
warm water. .'-.National Dairyman.

rEnTn1zING APPLE ORCHARDS.

I Apple trees will bear fruit of fine quail
ity and in considerable quantity with very
little fertilization, and, because they will,
the practice of neglecting to fertilizc
them has become quite common, or, more
correctly, has always been so. Nearly
all apple orchards are in grass, which is
mostly cut for hay and removed from the
land. Some pasture sheep in the orchard.
That is better that cutting the grass for
hay. Sheep enrich the soil, and eat the
wormy fruit that falls to the ground,
thus helping to keep the Goblin moth in
check. Some owners fcrtilize their Or
chards by top-dressing with barn manure,
wood ashes, or superphosphate. It is
doubtful, however, about the trees getting
very large share of such dressing. The
grass forms thick, tough sward, through
which the fertilizer penctrates with diff
ficulty and is very likely to be absorbed
by the grass roots before it gets down to
the apple tree roots. If very heavily
dressed repeatedly, perhaps the trees
will receive considerable benefit after
awhile, but ordinary dressings probably
reach very little below the grass roots, so
that practically the trees are not much
benefited by them. 1t is surprising how
much fruit some orchards will produce
under the treatment to which they are
subjected. Yet no doubt under better
treatment there would be q great i'm
provement in the quality of fruit pro-
duced, as we'll as in the quantity. The
quality of fruit from well-fed tree is as
much better than the fruit from o half
starved tree as the beef from a well-fed
stee. is superior to that of o poor, half
starved one. An appS tree, from the
time it is planted in the soil, should al
ways be well supplied with needful plant
food. It will not do to set trees in poor
soil, and allow them to struggle on, max

woMEN's FOOT WEAR.

Dancing slippers that make the feet
look small are of black kid, with a
beaded bow, and ankle-strap having a
buckle.
Moliere shoes, with high flap and
square toes, are much worn in both tan
and black leather, and always matched
in color by the silken lacy stockings
worn. Another pretty shoe for evening
wear is called the Charles TX, and comes
only in black satin, to be worn with
black silk stockings with lace fronts.
The street shoe par excellence has a
cloth top, kid vamp, patent-lcathcr tip
and trimming, IN extension sole and
opera toe and heel.
The ooze leather which enters into a
large proportion of the fashionable foot
wear is heavier quality of the same ma
terial of which undressed kid gloves are
made.
At present the most fashionable fad in
shoes is an Oxford tic of ooze leather of
Che color which prevails either in the
gown or its trimming. These shoes
bave ribbon q quarter of an inch in
width, shade lighter than the shoe,
stitched at half-inch intervals, strap
fashion, across the vamp. These shoes
are alike fashionable for house, carriage
or street wear.
The latest wrinkle which has attached
itself to shoes is to have them of per-
fumed leather, which, when warmed by
the wearer's feet, exhales q delicious,
spicy odor.
Cloth foxings of various colors, with
patent leather vamps, are made both in
high and low shoes. Oozc leather tops,
in different colors, with patent leather
vamps, are also much used.

lemon rind, very little water and sugar
to taste. When quite to pulp let it
stand till cold. Then beat up a couple
of eggs till light and mix them with the
apples together with an equal quantity of
