Carving and Serving,

in serving soup large lade nj to a plate
is generally considered sufficient. 1t is Gus
tomary to serve fish with a silver or plated
broad knife, or Slice instead OF q steel one,
and also to use silver or plated knives and
forks in eating fish. In serving sauces and
gravies it is well to place them at the side
o. the plate and not on the meats and vege-
tables.
Never employ knife at the table when q
spoon or fork will answer the purpose.
Begin to carve sirloin oil beef at the end,
never in the middle, otherwise the Juice
will all run out and what remains is dry
and unpalatable Always cut down as
close to the bone as possible; then, by cut
ting across you can disengage the slice and
make them more inviting than il cut out
at random. ALI meats are much more pre-
sentable ii cut across the grain; they are
also more readily masticated.
In carving leg OF mutton or ham, begin
at the point towards the loin, never at the
knuckle or outer end.
In serving fowls. when no preference is
expressed give guests some OF both white
and dark meat. The breast of a roasted
fowl, though the least juicy, looks nicely,
and Is pre- erred by some persons. L nc
preference is expressed, give to each guest q
slice of this part.

Sweet COntRnt.

A children's party, and the twins not i'm
vitedl That was hard to bear, not because
they expected to be invited, but from the
bitter fact that they lived near enough to
the great house to see the gayety though
they were not in It.
Their own house was a tiny cottage, to
which thev had just moved, and really the
only reason why they were not at the party
was that nobody had had time to realize
that there were some new children in the
neighborhood.
All the afternoon they stood by the fence,
peering across the meadow and watching
the little forms of happy guests fitting
ABOUT the lawn. Evening came, and they
were silent with delight over the Chinese
lanterns in the shrubbery.
''Oh! cried Lulu i'll an ecstacy, as their
mother came out to look with them, ''such

Changes in the big Dipper."

Changes in the "Big Dipper."
One of the most notable examples
of the constant and yet almost i'm
perceptible changes taking place in
the heavens is to be found in the mo-
ton of the seven bright stars collect
lively known as the big dipper. Hug
gins the noted astronomer, is now
engaged in proving that five of these
stars are moving in the same direc-
ton, while the other two are moving
in a direction directly opposite.
Prof. Flammarion has reduced Hug
gins calculations to system, ar
ranging them upon charts. These in
geniously constructed heavenly out
lines show that 100000 years ago
the Clipper stars were arranged in
the outline and irregular shaped
cross; and that 100000 years hence
they will have assumed the form of
an elongated diamond. ST. etching

Danger in the Shirt Front on
Women,

Unless the women are going to
take to suspenders and trousers out
right, they ought to discard the lit
tie shirts, neckties and collars that
they are wearing so generously this
year. No woman looks natural in
male attire, and besides, these
slick shirt fronts are extremely dan
gerous. There is already a case on
record of a young fellow who laid his
head on one OF them few nights ago
and unwisely tried to put his arm
around the girl at the same moment.
She moved a little closer to give him
a better hold, when all at once his
head slipped down the slick shirt
front like a toboegan slide, shot off
on the floor and fractured his skull.
Other accidents not quite SO serious,
but of sufficient Importance to sup
port the belief that they are very
dangerous articles of apparel, are
reported. -Yenowine's News.

Building a Wonderful Cannon.

A1Uduy Argus.
In process of construction at the gun
factory in Waterliet is ten-inch gun,
which, when completed, will be one of
tine greatest caliber and most wonderful
in design ever made in this country.
This huge gun will be built according
to Captain Crozier's latest design of
wire winding. Captain Crozier is 10
Gated in the ordance department at
fourth OF it's kind in existence.
The work of boring the gun has been
completed, and Thursday next it will
be placed in the lathe preparatory to
commencing the wire winding. The
square wire to be used will be of steel,
as is the gun proper, tenth OF an
inch in thickness, and will be wound
from the breech to the muzzle, the en-
tire length. To produce the desired
work dynamo has been placed in the
gun factory which will be utilized to
weld the ends of the wire by electricity.
When completed it is expected that this
gun will throw 260-pound projectile
from twelve to fifteen miles, the great
est distance yet accomplished. The
weight of the powder charge will be
about 230 pounds, and the penetration
will be, it is expected. about twenty
four inches in armor plate.
The first gun of this kind was con-
structed about twenty years ago at
Frankfort arsenal by DR.. Woodbridge.
1t was ten-inch gun. but on the nine
teenth round burst. Since that time
wonderful changes have been made in
the design, and if the present gun ma.
terializes recording to expectations 1t
will rival all others in existence. When
the gun is perfected the wire will not be
visible, as it will be covered with hoops

Flannel Shirts.

New York Tribune.
Don't talk to me of flannel SUITS"
said perspiring young fellow as he
ran handkerchief around the inside of
the collar of one of the garments he did
not want to hear mentioned and rolled
up the sleeves of the same, from where
they chung warm and woody about his
wrists. "Flannel shirts are delusion,"
he added angrily. .They are absolutely
hot. They may be healthy, but they
rasp my neck and almost scarlfy me
under the arms. Every time they are
washed they shrink. till they get as
thick as boards, and by winter time l
expect they will be about small enough
to make admirable chest protectors. 1t
seems strange to me that with all the
Yankee ingenuity that we hear of going
about loose in the country something
cool, smooth, light. durable, comfortable.
cheap and unshTinkable can not be In
vented for summer wear. Sikh is too dear
for the average man who has to perSplre
for his living, flannel is too coarse and
warm for any but manual toilers, and
between them and starched, alright,
sharp-edged linen, there seems to be no
satisfactory alternative. There must
have been time when starch was un-
known. Men wore linen then, no
doubt, and looked we'll enough in it,
too. But who would dare appear in a
linen shirt now unStarched? Such

A sTATIONERs' PARADISE.
The Enormous Number Of Visiting
Cards Used in Washington.

The Enormous Number of Visiting
Cards Used in Washington.
Paper World.
Five hundred thousand visiting cards
have been engraved in Washington this
season. One stationery firm has turned
out 100000 in the last two months, and
the money spent on pasteboard in the
course OF season amounts to tens of
thousands of dollars. The most ordi-
nary card costs a cent apiece after the
plate is made, and some of the dinner
invitations sent out COST $40 dozen.
A prominent item on the expense ac-
count of Washington belle is her en-
craving and printing, and society ladies
who give dinners spend at times hun
dredS of dollars upon the stationery for
a feast. Mrs. Leland Stanford lately
paid $S5 for fifty cards to be used as
menus for one of her big dinners. The
map of the United States was stamped
in silver on the cards, and the drawing
and engraving were exquisite. At the
dinner which Gen. Breckenridge gave
the cards cost 81 apiece, and Mrs. JUS

Some of the cards were in raised silver
and gold. They look as though the gold
and silver had been melted and poured
into letters on the card, and cost rs
cents apiece.
