The Empres. of Japan.

At excessive heights above all Jap- auese women, the invisible empress, till within recent years, was enthroned like goddess. But she, the sover- eign. has descended little by little from her enpyrean; she shows herself at present, she receives, she speaks. and she even lunches-with the tips of her lips, it is true. She has aban. doned her magnificent cdmdilS strewn with strange blazons, her wide head dress that looked like an idols, and her enormous fans; she sends, alas! to Paris or London for her corsets, her dresses and her bonnets.
 Five years have passed over the chrysanthemums since, on one oi these very rare solemnities. where @ few privileged ones are admitted to her presence had the honor of see- ing her in her gardens. She was ideally charming, passing like a fairy among her parterres, lowered in pro- fusion with the sad flowers of autumn; then coming to sit beneath her can. opy of violet crepon (the imperial color) in the hieratic stiffness of he, robes, tinted like the wings Of hum- ming-bird. All the deliciously quaint pageantry with whom she then sur rounded herself gave her the charm of an unreal creature. Upon her painted lips lowered ceremonial smile. disdainful and vague. Beneath the powder her exquisite face pro. served an impenetrable expression, and notwithstanding the grace of her greeting. one felt her offended by our presence, which according to the new customs she was forced to tolerate she, the holy Empress. invisible oi yore like n religious myth.

s,mpisst Cooking Is tho Best.


 many excellent recipes found in the culinary department of most papers of the day, yet there are many that can not be conscientiously endorsed on economic and hygienic principles, says . correspondent of the Country Gen. tleman. We read of wonderful com oinations of fish, flesh and fowl. of large per cent of spices. mustard and cayenne pepper. all of which are harmful. and if their use is long con- tinued sooner or later lead to diseases of the digestive organs. From ex- psrience, 1 know that the average housekeeper who takes charge of nll the household machinery has but little time to bestow on experimental cookery, with no assurance that these foreign-made dishes will suit the Yankee palate when completed. This is, indeed. time wasted" The health of the family should be every mothers first consideration. and in catering to the wants of the family let her choose only such dishes as are simple, economic and healthful, scrupulously avoiding all kinds of high seasoned food, rich and in- digestible pastries and buildings. The simplest way of cooking is the besh be- cause it is most healthful. In regard to soups, while few kinds of vegetables may be admissible, many cooks add such a variety of vegetables and havoring herbs as to destroy com pletely the original taste. While l freely admit that tastes differ. yet the most delicious dish of soup l ever ate consisted of just the diluted juices of the meat without the admixture of a single vegetable, and slightly thick ered with rice, Here was the true flavor of the beef, unadulterated by vegetables or herbs, which was not ouly delicious, but nourishing. Out Of a large variety of ways in which to cook tomatoes, perhaps there is no better plan than to simply stew them in a saucepan. add ing butter. sugar and salt to taste this being the old original way of cooking them when they first came into use. The tomato was introduced from Massachusetts into the town where 1 was born and bred over fifty years ago. Although but a small school girl, I distinctly remember the first one l ever saw; it passed under the name of ''love apple" and was considered somewhat poisonous While 1t bore tho color of the varieties now in use, it had smooth surface and was oblong in shape. It was grown ct first as curiosity. though in time people began to use tomatoes as relish; but they were unpopular as few liked their flavor. When. how ever. the surprising discovery was made that they possessed medicinal virtues, which acted favorably on many kinds of ailments. the feeling changed. and from that time their popularity has increased. While we have many improved varieties as to size and shape, the flavor remains the same. and conceal it as we will, 1t is tomato still. In catering to the wants of our families. let us be guided by that which is healthful and eco- homie, ever bearing in mind that economy leads to thrift.

he could to advance the interests of the
