NOVEMBER IN NEW ORLEANS.
Roses, Violets, Jasmines and Chrysanthe.
NUNS All In Bloom.

Roses, Niolets, Jasmines and Chrysanthe-
NUNS AL In Bloom.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat
1t requires pilgrimage through the resi-
dence portion of the city to make the visitor ap-
preciate November in New Orleans. All along
st. Charles avenue, Esplanade avenue. Prytania
street, Jackson avenue ard throughout the gar
den district the lawns and gardens present an
almost uninterrupted wilderness of flowers in
full bloom. And there is peculiar quality of
profusion in the bloom of these southern
shrubs. Elsewhere one sees blossoms cleaning
here and there through great banks of verdurc,
but here the great leaves only furnish slender
frame work for the richest and brightest BIOS
SONS. Against cleaning white wall as a
background, one sees arches and festoons Of
crimson, pink, white and yellow roses, bound
together with only slender thread of green
that Is barely traceable and almost lost in the
wealth of dainty blossoms with which IL ia
laden. The lawns are literally spangled with
violets. roses. chrysanthemums, dahIias, pam
sizes and flowers Of almost every variety, the
fresh verdure Of the grass framing in and filling
the background Of hOral picture of SURPRISING
loneliness.
Climbing roses and jasmines twino their per-
fnme-breathing chains over the cold gray of
dead walls and light up weather-stained gables.
Sweet odors are borne on every errant breeze
1t IL like northern springtime; but, instead
OF that chilly breath that comes Of half-thawed
ice and snow, the air has q soft, balmy quality
that has freshness but not trace Of chillness
it.
Throughout the garden district the low, open
Palings reveal dainty flower gardens in richest
bloom, but down town the close wooden walls
leave only the trees and the larger of the flower
ing shrubs in view. Though the rarest wealth
Of flowers Ia hidden from view, great spread
ing domes Of pink, white and purple blossoms
rise above the walls, and here and there amid
the great heaving waves Of glistening leaves in
oranges that glitter in the sunlight like globes
Of FURNISHED gold.

CELLuLoD FANCY ARTICLES.
Celiuloid, which enters into many Of the So
called fancy articles nowadays, is made into
various basket shapes and combined very
attractively with turquoise blue, yellow or
gold, or stained Of these same shades itself.
Flower baskets with very high arched handles
are quite dainty looking and blue one, for
instance, filed with forget-me-nots would be a
most expressive Christmas gift. Growing
plants win be much given as presents. and
florists make q speciality Of having q fine assort-
ment Of palms and ferns with pretty baskets or
iardinieres to make fitting setting for them
The florists have many baskets as suitable for
other uses as for flowers, and several of the
regular scrap basket style have come from a

SERVICE OF GAME.

serfapie Saiuey IAste anu ouor WHICH Is very
disagreeable.
WILD DUCK
is not always a tender bird and when it is it
can sometimes be made tolerably tough in the
kitchen. A canvass-back duck should never be
cooked less than fifteen nor more than eighteen
minutes, say some eonnoisseurs, though others
go twenty to twenty-five. 1t should be carved
in slices and in emitting the wings and thighs
sacrificed. At the residence in this CITY of
n well-known Senator, royal host, the service
of fowl and game is from the side. his most es-
Unable lady holding to the certainly sensible
opinion that host should not divide his atten-
ton between his guest and a roast. A bit of
pardonable vanity, however. tempts the Sena-
tor to except canvass-back duck. which he in
variably carves himself and he does it SO daint-
lily and adroitly that it is pleasure to see him
do il. Two strokes of a sharp game knife and
the juicy red flesh of the duck is separated from
the skeleton.
Most wild ducks should be served 90 under
done that the blood will run when they are
sliced up. The juice OF two lemons may be
squeezed in the platter, Q few drops of oil, a
little salt and some pepper, in which gravy the
slices should be soaked q moment before hand
ing them around.
IN CARVING wooDcocK
first remove the wings and legs and then divide
the body lengthwise. The wing is the most
delicate morsei, but the thighs have more
favor. Do not throw the carcass away-to do

tar, it will form puree that will give delicious
flavor to black gravy. French gourmets in
close the head Of this bird in coating OF talow,
broil it over o candle fame and eat il. Ii is
only mouthful, but to them morsei delicious
and beyond compare.
The smaller birds are mostly served entire
such as snipe, quail, real reed birds, &c. When
carved. however, . snipe is cut in two longi-
tudinally; the wings and legs of q quail removed
and the body divided lengthwise, DC. Pigeons,
when roasted, are divided into four pieces when
carving is necessary at all.

A Great American Magazine.

THE SUCCESS OF 1.-THE CENTURY" AND ITS
PLANS FOR 1891.
The Century Magazine is now SO we'll
known that to tell of its past seems al
most an Old story. The n. Y. Tribune
has said that it and its companion, st.
Nicholas for Young Folks, issued by the
same house, ARE read by every one per-
son in thirty of the country's population"
and large editions of both are sent be-
yond the seas. 1t is an interesting fact
that a few years ago it was found that
seven thousand copies of The Century
went to Scotland, quite respectable
edition in itself. The question in Eng
land is no longer "Who reads an Ameri-
can book?" but"Who does not see the
American magazines"
A few years ago The Century about
doubled its circulation with the famous
War Papers, by General Grant and 9TH
ers, adding many more readers later with
the Lincoln History and Kennan's thrill
ing articles ON the Siberian Exile System.
One great feature of 1891 is to be
"THE GOLD HUNTERS OF CALIFORNIA"
describing that remarkable movement to
the gold fields in 40, in series of richly
illustrated articles a0riaep By survivors, in
Guiding the narratives of men who went
to California by the different routes, &C
counts of the god discoveries, life in the
mines, the work of the vigilance commit
tees (by the chairmen of the committees)
etc., etc. Gen. Fremont's last writing
was done for this series. In November
appears the opening article, "The First
Emigrant Train to California, crossing
the Rockies in l541,-by Gen. Bidwell, a
pioneer of pioneers. Thousands of Amer
lean families who had some relative or
friend among "the Argonauts of '49'' will
be interested in these papers.
MANY OTHER GOOD THINGS ARE COMING
the narrative of an Americans travels
through that unknown land Tibet flor
700 miles over ground never before trod
by white mani; the experiences of es-
ing cap War-Prisoners; American News
papers described by well-known journal
lists; accounts of the great Indian Fight
ers, Custer and others; personal anec-
dotes of Lincoln, by his private secretar-
les; "The Faith Doctor, novel by Ed
ward Eggleston, with wonderfully rich
program of novelettes and stories by most
of the leading writer's, etc., etc.
1t is also announced that The Century
has purchased the right to print, before
its appearance in France or any other
country, extracts from advanced sheets
of the famous Talleyrand Memoirs, which
have been secretly preserved for half a
century--to be first given to the world
through the pages of an American maya
zine. All Europe is eagerly awaiting the
publication of this personal history of
Acknowledgements of intriguers and
diplomats.
The November Century begins the vol
ume, and new subscribers should COM
mence with that issue. The subscription
price, s4.00) may be RENTED directly to
the publishers, The Century Co., SO East
18th ST., New York, or single copies may
be purchased of any newsdealer. The
publishers offer to send a free sample
copy--a recent back number-to any one
desiring it.
