The London Queen speaks with some in.
terest of the general introduction of elec.
trical lights in homes, but draws attention
to that singular afliction somewhat SINH.
lar to a sunstroke which has been known
to be produced by a 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. It is too glazing, and all
the objections that are urged against gas
may be urged against it in the home. 1t is
not a pleasant light to read by. 1t is me-
chanical and inartistic for home use,
thought suitable pre-eminently for light
ing public places, halls, theaters and dry
goods stores, where it is desirable to have
the strongest light that we can find.
Electric light is aver more unbecoming
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 chan 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
contrivances than are essential to comfort.

Old Fashioned Goldfish Pie.

The Goldfish pie of our grandmothers
makes a famous dish. Here is an old recipe
for it by a Connecticut lady: Line a deep
baking dish with good pie crust, or with a
good soda biscuit crust, made in the follow.
ing manner Sift together four cups of
flour. n heaping teaspoonful of soda and
two of cream tartar Tor three heaping tea
spoonfuls of baking powder) and one tea.
spoonful of salt, Rub in one-half cupful
of shortening. Add milk enough to make
a medium soft dough-about a pint. Some
flour takes more than others. For the
upper crust spread butter on twice, and
fold and roll out. Cut out a round piece
in the center.
Take a 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 a layer of this
Goldfish in the dish which has been lined
with the crust, sprinkle with bread crumbs,
pepper and a 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 flour, 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
Oh the top crust and bake a delicate brown.

LONDON, July ~10.-Tradition has pre-
served the fame of hat r~esolute Irishman
who vowed to chang himself or perish in
the attempt" and of that earnest but un-
grammatical swimmer who, when strug-
Cling in vain against the rush of a furious
river, cried out despairingly, ~ will be
drowned, and nobody shall save mer' An
English magazine of the last century re-
cords the exploits of an even more deter
mined suicide who, when dragged from a
stream into which he had thrown himself,
Instantly hanged himself with the rope
wherewith he had been hauled out, and
then. when some passing philanthropist
cut him down, promptly cut his throat
with the knife which had severed the cord.
1t is a somewhat novel idea, however,
that in any country of Europe the proven
ton of an attempted suicide should be re-
garded as an absolute offense against the
law of the land; but such a case actually
occurred in Russia while l was there, some
years ago, at a small town not very far
from St. Petersburg.
One of my English neighbors there had
q Russian groom, a queer, cratic, flighty
Kind Of fellow, of whom a caustic British
visitor had justly remarked that che
might we'll have been supposed to be out
of his wits if he had only had any wits to
be out Of" One day the groom was miss
ing, and his master going to look for him,
found him hanging by the neck behind the
stable doorl
To whip out his knife and cut down the
body was "the work of a moment" las
penny novelists are so fond of saying) for
the energetic Englishman; and by good
fortune this clumsy fellow-who could not
even hang himself properly-had adjusted
the rope SO awkwardly that life was not
yet extinct. Restorative measures were
promptly taken. and the life for which
honest Ivan seemed to care 80 little was at
length given back to him. *
'sI The news of this affair soon got abroad,
and on the following morning in came the
local inspector of police with a look Of
lofty official Indignation. He sternly in
formed the amazed Englishman that he
had transgressed the law by interfering
with this man-that his duty in such a case
was to notify the police of the event before
taking any other steps whatever, which
would of course give the suspended man
abundant time to die outright in 1.-THE mean
while-and that, in aGword, he had done
very wrong, and had better not do it again.
Almost any other man would nave been
struck dumb by such a charge; but our
hero was fully equal to the occasion.

For . Musical Friend.

Comparatively few people have a really
convenient receptacle for sheet music. The
rest of the world either piles it on the piano,
where it gets dusty and is always untidy,
or put it away in some inconvenient place,
all kinds together, so that if one wants a
song it must be found after searching
through studies, dance music, sonatas, etc.
A good way to keep sheet music classified
and free from dust is to have several en-
velopes, one for each kind of music. Make
them of gray linen, Of blue or brown
denim, two inches larger than a sheet of
music. Bind all the seams and edges with
harmonizing or contrasting silk braid, and

1889, where the silk exhibit was given dur
ing four months. The cocoons, after being
brushed until a single clean flament is
found, are ready to be reeled. The brush
lngs and imperfect cocoons are all used for
an inferior grade of silk. Having boiled
the cocoons in a tank for ten minutes they
are again brushed, and then placed in the
tanks of water presided over by the ~reelers.
An expert takes six of these fine flaments.
unites them, and placing them over a pull
ley attaches the twisted thread to the reel.
and as this revolves she buoys the cocoons
in the water with her hands. When the.
machinery is in motion four women are
kept busy reeling. The reels, two yards in
circumference, make eighty revolutions in
a minute.
The first reeler employed in the depart
ment was Miss Nena Grain, a native. OF
Baltimore. Another reeler is Miss Ger
trude Riggles, of Seabrook, Md, who has
written numerous articles for the press.
After the silk is reeled it is done up in
hanks and sent to the factory, where it Is
bleached and colored to suit the purposes
Of the manufacturer. A very high grade
Of silk is made in America, its value being
five dollars a pound, producing a fabric
sold at from eight to ten dollars a yard.
In the department, now closed, remain
as clerks Miss Helen Gardner, a highly
cultured lady, and Miss Fannie Barthols.
her assistant.
1t is uncertain whether this industry
will be resuscitated. All depends on the
action of congress. It is the present inten-
tion to take the silk exhibit to the Worlds
fair, Chicago, but its chief interest will be
gone If for lack of funds the process of the
fliature is not demonstrated.

Neatness in Girls.

Neatness is a good thing for a girl, and
if she does not learn it when she is young
she never will. It takes a great deal more
neatness to make a girl look we'll thar it
does to make a boy look passable. Not be-
cause a boy, to start with, is better looking
than a girl, but his clothes are of a differ
ent sort, not so many colors in them, and
people don't expect a boy to look so pretty
as a girl.
A girl that is not neatly dressed is called
a sloven, and no one likes to look at her.
Her face may be pretty and her eyes bright,
but if there is a spot of dirt on her cheek,
and her finger ends are black with ink, and
her shoes are not laced or buttoned up, and
her apron is dirty, and her collar is not
b%uttoned, and her skirt is torn, she cannot
be liked. Learn to be neat, and when you
have learned it it will almost take care Of
itself.-Christian at Work.

whose work necessarily must badly soil
bedclothing else she. too, might have
adopted this way.
I buy yard wide, heavy, firm sheeting, of
medium fir1nness, believing it wears bet
ter than the coarse. I lay the selvedges Of
the long seam together, overlapping them
nearly one-fourth inch, or sufficient to ma
chine stitch each edge. This makes two
stitchings l~engthwise of the sheet, forming
a smooth, flat seam, which does not break
and rip with wear, as n stitching is very
apt to do. ~Pillowslips I overlap and make
in the same way, machine hemming all
ends and hems.-Clarissa Potter in Good

Tho 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 a leek-useful,
but tear starting. She has thought on
every subject under and over the sun, and
has formed her convictions on all 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 digniied bon
nets.
She thinks u her answers q 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 a re.
markably 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
Wheeler Wilcox in Ladies' Home Journal.

Miss Philpott'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 z 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
d 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 it's gloss and it's
greatly admired red gold tint.-Boston

are lost to modern times. When it is con.
sldered that America last year imported
silk fabrics whose value was over sci, OOO.-
600, and on same paid a duty of $40, 0OO, 900
more, the annual consumption of silk ap-
pears startling. But this is only half of
the amount actually consumed, for the i'm
portation of reeled or raw silk in 1889, free
of duty, was valued at nearly $50, 600, 900.
which, being manufactured into fabrics
and sold at the enhanced price, duty added.
makes the total annual consumption of
silk manufactures in the neighborhood of
800, 0OO, 900.
The experiments of the Woman's Silk
Culture association of Philadelphia and
the silk department, supported by appro-
prlatlons OF congress and state legislatures,
have proven that cocoons from which the
finest silk Is reeled can be raised any,
where IN the United States where the null
berry or Usage orange will grow. The
raw material can be produced without limit
and the work is peculiarly adapted for
women and children.
The interesting silk culture department.
at Washington under Philip Walker has
been closed, on account of failure by con-
gress to appropriate money to continue it,
the claim being made that reeling by ma
chlnery has proven unsuccessful and reel
ing by hand is too expensive. The depart
ment was established in 1885. Nine,
Vaccarino, a French woman, whose hus-
band is an Italian, was brought from
Lyons and remained in charge until the
enterprise was discontinued
The process of silkmaking as described
by Miss Sara Sweeney, a most skillful
reeler, is full of interest. The silkworm
eggs, the size of faxseed, are imported
from Italy, and about the 18th of April
they are placed on mulberry or Usage Or
ange leaves in a room of proper tempera-
ture. In fifteen days the worms are
Matched almost the size of small ants.
They are then fed on leaves. Within
thirty days the worm has grown from 2 to
~ inches, and has wrapped the silk fila
ment about it, forming the cocoon. If al
lowed to rest undisturbed ten DAYS the
worm becomes a moth and escapes from
the small end of the cocoon, DESTROYING
its value. To prevent this the cocoons are
steamed or baked. Three %colors, white,
yellow and green, are produced. When
brown spots made by butterflies appear
they are removed by sailing. The next
step is to cook and brush the cocoons.
Miss May Dolan, who has been in the
cooking department. since 1856, is a native
OF Washington city. She, with Miss
Sweeny, the reel queen, occupied u large
share of attention from the thousands of
ladies who visited the fair at Cincinnati in
