VIRTUES OF APPLE SAUCE.
Its Use With Ronsr Pork Has the Sanction
of the Scientists.

Its Use With Roast Pork Has the Sanction
of the Scientists.
Probably not one in q thousand of the
many persons who eat apple sauce with
roast goose or roast pork have any idea why
such condiment should be used in these
particular cases. Yet the custom is based,
if not on exact science, certainly on a
knowledge of the properties of the apple,
as well as upon observation. The malic
acid of the apple tends to neutralise any
excess of chalky matter engendered by eat
ing too much, and it also serves to elimi-
nate from the body noxious matters which,
if retained, would make the brain heavy
and dull, or lead to jaundice or skin erup-
tions.
Indeed. the apple is fruit which at all
times has a wholesome influence on the
body, but which is especially useful on the
dinner table, though pines, grapes, peaches
and other fruits may be more fashionable.
The chemical composition of the apple con-
sists of vegetable fiber, albumen, sugar,
gum, chlorophyll, malic acid, gallic acid,
lime and large proportion of water. The
German analysts also assert that the apple
contains a larger proportion of phosphorus
than any other fruit or vegetable, and this
phosphorus is of great use in renewing the
essential nervous matter-lethicin-o the
brain and spinal cord.
Apple sauce aids the digestion, which, in
the case of the rich meats with which it is
usually associated, would be sluggish.
Though most people may be inclined to sup
pose that fresh fruits such as the apple, the
pear. or the plum would have tendency to
promote acidity in the stomach, their effect
is really to diminish it if eaten when ripe,
II
donates, which counteract acidity. A good
ripe apple is one of the easiest of vegetable
substances for the stomach to deal with, the
whole process of its digestion being COM
plete in IS minutes.

noticed day before yesterday a young Amer
ican girl with the dowager Duchesse
d'Oporto in the Bois. thought the young
lady's dress was model of simplicity, and
it was worn with quite French chic.
The gown was of drab poult de sole. with
six rows of brown velvet ribbon around the
bottom. 1t was entirely undraped and had
a multiple f1ot of brown velvet ribbon. The
jacket was of shaded tricot, cut very plainly
and trimmed only by braid and buttons.
With this she wore large hat to match in
color.
Sara Bernhardt drove BY like flash,
but left vision of princesse toilet in gold
colored plush and cinnamon bear skin.
Bernhardt wore lovely toilet the other day
at the races-a gray argentee Irish poplin
cut princesse. 1t had a border all around
of black fur, above which was deep en-
broidery of silver.
Our bonnets this season, alas, are going to
resemble cookie shells as to form, and they
are not at all chic nor becoming. Only the
exquisite beauty of the flowers and ribbons
on them could reconcile us. Now that bon
nets are growing smaller. parasols are be-
coming smaller also, not much larger than
dinner plates, and all in the brightest of
colors, though some are covered with lace.
I noticed at the opera last night that
nearly three-fourths of the ladies, and gen.
tlemen, too, of the old families, wore
bouquets of violets, so that the very hall
was filled with their perfume, It is signifi-
cant, but may lead to nothing.

Belief in the virtues of the weather-plant
still survives. Certainly very wonderful
are some of the feats attributed to it. 1t is
stated that during observations made at
Kew Gardens, beginning on the 26th of
September last, the horticultural product
indicated sudden fall of the barometer in
Wales and the Midland counties, as we'll as
in Central Prussia and Northeast Spain,
giving warning of danger from iredamp for
the period from the 14th to the 18th of Octo-
ber-a state of things. it is added, which
actually took place in the period and locali-
ties predicted. During six weeks observa-
tion, such predictions of fredamp were
made, of which seven were found correct,
and of ten predictions of earthquakes, TOUR
were corrective nearly correct.
With view of utilizing this new agent
in the prevention of the disastrous results
which so often accompany these calamities,

companions quaffed the sparkling cham

favor of chaperonage has grown I have in

of the country upon it. find them willing
to talk, and they speak with no uncertain
sound.
MRS. HARRISON APPROVES IT.
The mistress OF the White House, when
asked her whether maidens should be
chaperoned, sat down and talked in the
cozy, half-humorous fashion that makes
solitude deux the most desirable thing in
the world. She talks in q most irresistible
fashion, 1nclines little toward her listener,
gestures little now and then for emphasis,
and most perfect of all, seems to put aside
every other thought save the one she is dis
cussing.
81 am only sorry that the custom Of
chaperoning girls is not universal in this
country" was her ready response to the first
question. "It is no implication that girl
is not of strong character, and it is not to
protect girls from themselves that mothers
wish them to have guardians. But it is to
save them from meeting people they should
not know any more than they should know
worthless books"
SIS not the custom especially advisable in
Washington for that reason?"
Hardly more than in other places" re-
piled Mrs. Harrison. "There is no town or
city where designing people are not found,
and I think a girl should always have the
com panionship of her mother or person
experienced in the world. It depends on
the girl an to what extent this guardianship

As the mail increased to 40 and so letters
per day she called in the Presidents
stenographer, Miss Alice B. Sanger, to
write her letters, and she herself signed
them. Ever since her return to the White
House in October she has been obliged to
delegate the whole duty to Miss Sanger, and
only personal friends receive letters in the
handwriting of the mistress of the White
House.
When the morning mail comes to the Ex-
ecutive Mansion the letters are quickly
separated by a clerk, who puts all directed
to Mrs. Harrison on Miss Sanger's desk.
those that bear the unmistakable script of
the crank. The others she carries to Mrs.
Harrison s room. The two sit down at the
desk. Miss Sanger selects those that bear the
writing of any of Mrs. Harrison's intimate
friends, opens them with her silver paper
knife, throws away the envelope and passes
the letter to Mrs. Harrison. If it is any
thing she wishes to answer herself, she
places it to one side. Otherwise she returns
the letter TO Miss Sanger, who takes steno-
graphic notes of the desired reply always on
the letter, so that there can be no mixing of
answers.
Then the grand bulk of letters-the beg
ging variety are taken up. The secretary
reads them at glance, and tells the gist to
Mrs. Harrison. According to the reply she
puts "yes" or s'no" at the head of The letter,
and in few DAYS Mrs. -, f., is de-
lighted with letter on White House paper

smoke-gray crepe lisse with two ro VS. Of en-
broidery in old pink, lining of same color,
edge finished with gray lace, stick of carved
lockwood. This, when carried with gown
of India silk, with decoration in old pink
and the same color for trimmings, would
constitute triumphant costume.
But the greatest novelty is the flower par
asol. These have flowers strung in the
fringe fnishnent and a bunch of the same
placed on the top. A pretty Marie in black
mousseline de sole has violets in natural
color embroidered in the silk in artistic
irregularity. and flower strings of silk violets
carving their own select odor with them,
are introduced in the fringe. An ebony
stick tied with violet ribbon completes the
beautiful idea. Another in this line and
more snowy is in black and yellow, with
buttercups embroidered in the corner and
buttercups dangling with the fringe.
LOOK OUT FOR THE PRICE.
Just inquire the price before you have one
sent home, if YOU would avoid tempest in
the teapot when the bill comes; for while
these materialized fapcies are a delight to
the feminine heart-they are delusion and
q snare to the pocketbook. In this line of
Rauzy fabrics used in the manufacture of
these parasols, those in all black or all white,
whether the standard laces or the newer
idea Of point d. esprit, will be much carried
and are a safe purchase since they can be
put in harmony with any toilet by the in
PRODUCTION OF ribbon or flowers of the desired
color.
The furore for matching every article of
the toilet continues and the parasol is no
exception to the rule, All the new shades
are to be found, and not only can you match
your suit in color, but the trimming on your
parasol can match that in your gown.
Very elegant are those with satin borders In
graduated stripes of darker or lighter shade
represented in the cover, but more often of
white. Checked borders are displayed also,
and very novel are the shirred borders of
gay plaids. These come on black or colored
covers. Those in black and white, either
embroidered or lace trimmed, will be car
ried by persons of more quiet taste than is
suggested by some of the very gay stripes.
The red and white variety should be called
the "Americus, in honor of the club from
whom the idea must have been borrowed.
EVEN THE PLAIDs DUPLICATED.
All the Scotch plaids are duplicated in
parasol covers, many of them SO cloud" that
seaside love must this season be made above

This line is trihe larger than any other

resort service, and, unless the above men,

While dealing with novelties those of

EXCRETIONS Of PLANT ROOTS,
An Acid Juice Tint Must be Very Active II
Changing The Soil.

An Acid Juice Tint Must be Very Active In
Changing the Soil.
Newcastle Eng, Chronicle.l
Recent investigations go to show that the
influence of plants on the soil is due almost
as largely to e1cretions fron,sthe roots as to
the accretions or absorption of nitrogen and
other matters by the plant itself. It is
known that plant roots .excrete an acrid
juice capable Of attacking. minerals, and
latterly it has been found that the liquid
has more extensive powers. 1t has both re-
ducing and ordinary properties; it,turns the
tincture of guaiscum blue, it oxidizes tan
nins and humic substances, and consequent
Iy promotes the decomposition OF humus; it
transforms cane sugar into reducing sugar
and acts feebly like diastase; it corrodes q
plate of ivory, and modifes the organic
matter of the soil.
The root membranes are not simply per-
meated with the juice, but it may some
times be seen to exude in droplets, and
there is no question that the excretions from
certain plants leave very powerful effect
upon the soil.
