He Lost Caste.

From out the wild and hoping west there
came not long ago a young man to dwell in
the shadow Of Murray Hill. He was well
introduced, and things were going On
swimmingly for him until the other day,
when in moment OF objectionable ignor-
ance he committed the solecism of sending
a dozen napkin rings as a wedding present.
That was objectionable. At his home in
the west people used napkin rings, and he
thought them a desirable present here.
He did not learn until too late that such
things have been relegated to other than
the very best circles; that a napkin ring
presupposes the use of a napkin more than
one time, and that such a gift was faux
pas hard to overlook. Curious what little
things ones standing sometimes rests upon.

Buying a Wedding rrousseau.

In buying a trousseau 1 advise every
youDG woman to commence with under
wear, gloves, shoes, hosiery and such ar
ticles as do not change much in year,
while the hats and gowns should be the
last selected, as then one is more apt to
have the latest styles. Too many gowns
for ones position in society, and too few
pieces of underwear, etc, Is better reversed
1t is customary for bride to provide table
and bed linen and all towehng necessary
for her prospective home; but this part OF
the outfit do not include in my present
list. If the bride to be can save trifie in
the buying of her wardrobe, she viii find
that small sum is convenient to have to
expend in pretty things for her new home,
which cannot rightly be included in the
furniture. In furnishing q home 1T is a
wise plan to buy for the kitchen first, then
bedrooms, dining room, and lastly the par
lor; for one may do without many things
in a parlor, but E'where Is the man who
will do without dining?''-Emma NJ Hoop

The Value of a Mutton Bone.

When the dish of cold meat has been set
aside, cut off all that remains upon the
bone, crack the bone with q cleaver,
and put it with all the hard, dry bits
into the stock pot. When boiled down
it may not make moro than b small
bowlful of jellied stock, but in that
bowlful there is as much material as you
would get in five of the cups of bouillon
served at a lunch counter or druggists for
ten cents cup. If you are not a business,
but domestic woman, living within the
shelter of home, cared and provided for,
try to earn that fifty cents, not by selling a
piece Of fancy work at less than the cost of
materials and instruction, but by actual
labor, paid for at its current value in the
labor market then you will recognize the
fact that even mutton bone is factor in
domestic economy.-GOod Housekeeping.

NEW YORK, April 17.-Many people
suppose that a monthly is all written and
prepared within the thirty days that
eIapse between numbers. To others a
magazine, coming periodically, produces
wonder that would never be aroused by
the making of book, which is of the
same order so far as production. is con-
cerned.
a magazine is not merely the thoughts
of its editors put into type any more than
a newspaper is the presentation Of the
editors ideas. The newspaper tells what
happens the world over; it makes con-
tenporaneous record of life day by day.
The magazine presents the results of life
on the thought of the world. These mod
fled thoughts may be registered at the
moment of their birth and of the event
that provoked them, or long afterward,
but whenever they come out on paper
they. represent life. To sift the mass of
such material, gathered without order or
collation., is the work of the editorial
staff.

FOR an EYeninS at Home.

a unique device that produced unbound
ed fun for party storm bound IN a small
village, was what, to lit in with the pre-
vailing nonsense of the plan, was called a
"soiree musicale operetta." Early in the
day each person selected some tune, to
which he sang, or tried to sing everything
he wished to say. Many were the slides,
slurs and rolling 'r's" required to make a
request for a book or other article fit to the
air of Home, Sweet Home" or a remark
on the violence of the storm fit the sweet
cadences of Annie Laurie" Particularly
cOmical were the remarks of the Red,
White and Blue" man, who was much
given to solemn Utterances, quite out OF
keeping with the tune he had selected. An
other member of the party, who had just
received letter from friend of all, tried
to give the news, which each was. interest
ed in. As the only tune he was capable OF
keeping ~ was "Old Hundred, the incon-
gruity between its measures and the spicy
extracts was more than amusing. So great
was the success of the plan for that time,
that the company adopted it later, on q
number of evenings, always with the same
success.-American AgriCulturist-

For Housewives to Try.

In Bulletin issued by the division of en-
tomology, department OF agriculture, DR..
G. V Riley, writing of insect pests of the
household, after describing various species
of cockroaches, says: In the latitude Of
Washington and further south the croton
bug eats everything which contains paste,
and consequently wall paper, photoS apis,
and especially certain kinds of cloth book
bindings, suffer severely from their attacks
In Insect Lie viii be found an account of
severe injury done to certain of the i'm
portant files in the treasury department in
Washington, the bindings Of many i'm
portant public documents being disfgured
and destroyed. In the Office OF the United
States coast and geodetic survey they have
become an intolerabIe nuisance by eating
off the surface and particularly the blue
and red paint from the drawings of i'm
portant maps.
How to kill them and prevent this dam
age is the question. Without condemning
other useful measures or remedies like
borax l would repeat that in the free and
persistent use of California buhach or some
other fresh and reliable brand of pyre-
thrum or Persian insect powder Se have
the most satisfactory means OF dealing
with this and the other reaches mentioned
Just before nightfall so into the infested
rooms and puT it into ali crevices, under
base boards, into the drawers and cracks
of old furniture-in fact, wherever there is
a crsck-and in the morning the floor viii
be covered with dead and dying or demon
allied and para!yzed reaches, which may
easily be swept up or otherwise collected
and burned. With cleanliness and per
sistency in these methods the pest mag be
substantially driven out OF house, and
should never be allowed to get full pos
session by immigrants from without.

The Courtesy of Swedish Women.

The women Of the middle and lower
classes are little if at all behind their hus-
bands and brothers in this matter Their
good temper and pretty behavior are
worthy of all praise. The servant girls in
Dalecarlian peasant dress, the cafe NAM
selles and the young persons employed in
shops all make the prettiest of all pos
sible bob courtesies, and SO, oddly enough,
do the young ladies of good family up to
the day of their confirmation, which cere-
mony takes place rather later than with
us, generally about the age of 16. From
that day forth they put their hair up and
take to bowing.-Temple Bar.

Putting a Smile on a Cheek of Brass.

Nothing is more annoying about the
home than the sudden and inexplicable
soiling of brass goods. The surface gets
dull apparently without cause, and ever 50
much rubbing seems 10 have no brighten
ing effect. \ very simple method Of re-
storing the lost luster is as follows: Lay
the soiled article for a few minutes IN es-
sence of vinegar containing pinch of salt
then take it out and rub it in the hands,
dipping them occasionally in the vinegar.
When clean, wipe dry with a cloth. In
cleansing tinted goods omit the salt, or dip
in vinegar and brush with red chalk--New

The Child of a Modern Rocker. -

One of the great wants Of the age is the
right kind of a cradle and the right kind
of a foot to rock it with. We are opposed
to the usurpation Of patented self rock

grandfather 'old daddy" and see the
youagster try to slap his mother across the
face because she will not let him have ice
cream and lemonade in the same stomach,
and holding his breath till he gets black in

the mother is compelled TO give him an
other dumping, and he afterwards goes
