Light in the Home.

The London Queen speaks with some in
terest of the general introduction of cleo
trical lights in homes, but draws attention
to that singular affection somewhat SINH
lar to a sunstroke which has been known
to be produced by powerful electric light.
This, however, is only one reason why cleo
tricity is not desirable in the home. The
chief objection to it lies in the nature OF
the light itself 1t is too glazing, and all
the objections that are urged against gas
may be urged against it in the home. 1t Is
not pleasant light to read by. 1t Is me-
chanical and inartistic for home use,
thought suitable prominently for light
ing public places, halls, theaters and dry
goods stores, where it is desirable TO have
the strongest light that we can ind.
Electric light is even more unbecomlng
than gas light, bringing out the defects OF
the complexion with unerring precision,
while gems pale before it. No light is
more beautiful or more softening to the
complexion than candle light, and where
it is necessary to have stronger light for
reading our fine improved lamps have
completely solved the problem. Gas should
be relegated to halls and places where
beauty of effect is secondary to mere util-
ity. 1t is a great mistake to Introduce
into our home life any more mechanical
contrvances than are essential to comfort.

Old Fashioned Goldfish Pie.

The Goldfish pie of our grandmothers
makes famous dish. Here is an old recipe
for it by a Connecticut lady: Line deep
baking dish with good pie crust, or with
good soda biscuit crust, made in the follow
ing manner: Sift together four cups of
-four, one heaping teaspoonful of soda and
two of cream tartar (or three heaping tea
spoonfuls of baking powder) and one tea
spoonful of salt. Rub in onehalf cupful
of shortening. Add milk enough to make
medium soft dough-about pint. Some
-four takes more than others. For the
upper crust spread butter on twice, and
fold and roll out. Cut out round piece
in the center.
Take pint of picked up salt Goldfish,
cover with boiling water, let it stand two
minutes, drain, pour on more water, let
stand and drain dry; put layer of this
Goldfish in the dish which has been lined
with the crust, sprinkle with bread crumbs,
pepper and little salt if the fish is very
fresh; put on bits of butter and some
cream sauce which has been made by
thickening one pint of boiling milk with
two teaspoonfuls of -four, and season
with salt and pepper; break in three or
four eggs, according to the size of the dish,
piercing the yOlks; repeat the Goldfish.
bread crumbs, cream sauce and eggs; put
on the top crust and bake delicate brown.

The Woman Who Knows 1t All

The intellectual woman" who is so
well informed and is so anxious to have
you know it, reminds me of leek-useful,
but tear starting. She has thought on
every subject under and over the sun, and
has formed her convictions on ali matters,
and the instant you breach a subject she
hastens to assure you that she knows all
about it. She sometimes possesses hand
some features, but her TOO active intellect
has sharpened them and hewed away the
curves of beauty. She is inclined to dress
severely, and to wear very dignitied bon
nets.
She thinks out her answers a sentence
ahead of your remarks, and waits for you
to finish, with mere tolerance. Her women
friends speak of her with great respect as
'such an intelligent person." and the
clergyman of her faith is the only man
who ever bestows any voluntary attention
upon her. Her husband considers her re-
markedly intelligent woman-but he is
given to dining at the club a great deal,
and meekly acknowledges that he cannot
hold a candle TO his wife in brain.-Ella

Walking and Dancing.

If a part of the time spent by young
women in the drawing room were devoted
to outdoor recreation there would be a
marked improvement in their health and
general appearance. There would be roses
in their cheeks and vigor in their STEP i'll
stead of sallowness and listlessness. With
health comes beauty of face and form as
well as sweetness of disposition.
Social dissipation is the bane of woman's
life. A weeks vital force is wasted in one
night of ballroom excitement; and woman,
unlike her sturdier brother, denies herself
the means of recuperation afforded by con-
tact with sun and air. Hence she ages fast.

Miss PhiIpott's Long Hair.

The longest suit of hair in the world is
perhaps that which grows on the head Of
Miss Asenath Philpott, of Gainesville
Tex, hers trailing on the ground when she
stands nearly four feet, and measuring in
all 10 feet and inches. Miss Philpott is a
slight, delicate woman, approaching mid
die age, and regards her magnificent tresses
as rather a nuisance, complaining that
their weight actually drains her strength.
The present growth is of the past seven
years, as in 1884 her head was shaved after
a severe attack of brain fever She cuts
out from time to time large quantities of
her hair and sends it east, where it has a
ready sale on account of its gloss and its
greatly admired red gold tint.-Boston

A Black SILK Petticoat for Two D


A black silk petticoat, trimmed hand
someIy with black lace, is a luxury that
not every woman can afford when the
prices of them range from twenty TO thirty
dollars, and even more. This is how one
was made, and beauty it was at that. for
two dollars.
A young woman started out with ten
dollars TO get the long envied article she
went from shop to shop; nothing quite
suited heE and it seemed such an awful
lot 10 give for the fimsy things, with their
poor Lace and pinked rufles, that were set
before her.
50, giving up in despair, she took the
elevated home, and gliding over the Brook
lyn bridge a watt of fresh air blew an idea
into her wearied brain. On getting home
she found an old red silk underskirt which
she had intended to be knit up into
woven poTciere- On another dress was an
old black lace fopnce. which, with spong-
ing. pressing and darninZ was made nearly
as good as new, while the red silk skirt was

two were put together, and for two dollars,

A cheap and pleasant fumigator for sick
rooms, one di2using healthful, agreeable
and highly penetrating disinfectant odor
in close apartments, or wherever the air

effervescence ceases. Leave the whole TO
settle, and pour off the liquid. Dry the

until white fumes commence to arise.
This vapor quickly spreads, is very agree
