Fashions of Louis xv.

And what did they really wear in the reign of the Louis of whom one hears most, much as one hears oi all .he Louisg The fans were round and GOV cred with feathers they were hung from the girdle; the gloves were long and huttonless; the shoes had pointed toes and high heels. Here k u pretty floral dress preserved in an old pie ture; the skirt is short and plain and has six iestoons of roses to circle it: the bodice is low and pointed; the sleeves are silk above, and muslin putfs from the elbows; the hair is pow dered and turned oss- cushion. A wreath IS laid about the top of it, aud from the wreath issue ostrich plumes. There were hoops; there were lace fiounces. there were ribbons, powder and brocades: the emdroideries were magnificent; the waists were long and pointed; the bodiccs opened in front and were laced across; long polonaise packets were edged with TnShes; many things, in fact, were as many things are now.

Kitchen Wisdom.

Flour sprinkled over suet makes tho process of chopping much eaisor.
 ID prepare a mould for gelatine or other cold puddines, fill it with cold water half an hour before using, then empty and without wiping fill with the pudding
 Eaters and similar mixtures that are to be steamed or baked require a wcll-greased dish: and after grsasinq sprinkle thickly with -four, shaking off all that does not adhere to the pan.
 Anovel crust forsquash or pumpkin pies is thus arranged. A pie-plate is generously buttered. then dried or stale bread crumbs are sprinkled thickly over it, the butter holding them in place. The liquid mixture is then put in 1t by the spoonful or poured in gently. A strip of pastry may be put around the edgs, but with q deep plate this is not necessary. The point in favor of this sort of crust Is that the crumba have already been cooked, and therefore the result is more digcstible than pastry which usually becomes soaked before the flour Is cooked.

HOW NEEDLES ARE MADE.
A Needle Made of . Hair From a Queen
 Head.

Needles are made from soft steel wire. which is received from the manu- factory in coils. The wire is cut by fixed shears into length sufficient to make two needles. These blanks. be- ing bent, require straightening, which is done by placing several thousand of them between two broad heavy rings, and heating them to redness in q fur mace.
 They are then removed within the rings on flat iron plate, and by means of a curved bar, termed smooth file. rolled back and forth until perfectly straight. Each piece is then sharpened at both ends. The workman takes up number at time and holds the ends against a grindstone forming the points. By means of die or counteS- die, two grooves are stamped by q press on each side of wire. which is next pierced under n press with two holes forming the eyes.
 A number of pieces are then strung on two fine wires and broken each in two by filing and bending. The rough ness about the head is removed by iil- ing. several at time being placed in small vice. During these processes the needles having become somewhat bent are straightened by rolling on flat plate. as before. They are now brought to rcd heat and tempered by plunging them into oil.
 Fifty thousand at time are then put in a canvas bag with emery. oil. putty powder. and soft-soap, and rolled two and fro under pressure until they be- come bright The better class of needles have their eyes drilled. Tho final process is polishing tho points. which is effected first by rotating hone, and afterward by buff-wheel Of late years machines have been in- troduced by which needles arc formed from the roll of wire without the inter- vention of hand labor.
 During her recent stay in England the queen of Roumania Carmen Sylva) paid visit to a manufactory of needles. While there ono of the workmen, whose duty it was to make the holes in the needles, begged the queen to givc him one of her hairs. The queen smilingly gave it to him; he placed it on his ma chine. made a hole in it passed a thread of silk through the hole and then returned 1t to the astonished own. er.-The Woman's News

Tale or a Joke Maker.

A professional humorist said the other day: There is q great deal of truth about jokes which both readers and writers recognize in practice but do not often formulate. It is this:
 A good joke improves no less with age than does the wine of Bordeaux. Once upon time there was a famous speaker whose tolerably bad lecture started off and ended with two of the most exquisite jokes ever invented. People travelled miles and sat patiently through the same lecture year after year to split their sides at the same old jokes. After the effect of the intro ductory joke had worn off there was always perfect silence until the lecture was three quarters done, when the an- never been swindled would begin to break out in gurgling laughter, mods. winks and whispers of its coming r And when at last this we'll seasoned old chunk of wit brought the perform ance to a close. the very roof was raised.
 But one fatal night there was bad case of dyspeptic pessimism in front seat. It is true that when he roared chestnut at the first joke the audience nearly mobbed him, but the lecturers tender spot was touched. He prepared a new lecture which began and ended with two absolutely fresh jokes. When the lecturer walked upon the platform with his new manuscript in his hand he received an ovation.
 "The first new joke seemed to stupe- fy the people. But few sentences of the new lecture seemed to wake them up, and they rose as one man and de- manded their money at the box office. At the next town the lecturer afiix ed the old jokes to the new lecture, and all went so we'll that he is still crack ing tAem with constantly increasing success"

He Will Not Make Her ubey.-

Tn Sheffield church the other day a marriage ceremony came to an abrupt and altogether unlooked-for termin ation. It was the fault of the would-be bride groom, and most people will say in los ing his bride he met his deserts.
 The ceremony went on right enough till the clergyman, addressing himself to the woman, put tho question whether, she would have tine man to be her hus- band. ito love, honor and obey"
 At the mention of the word "obeyn the bridegroom ejaculated, "I'll make thee"
 Are we married yet?" asked the wom- an of the clergyman.
 No, you are not" he replied.
 "Then we shall not be-" said she, and thereupon she left the church.
 The man protested that 1t was too late, but she needed him not, and his dis comfture was made none the less when the parson told him that he thought she had acted very sensibly. y.-Irish Times.

American Locomotives.

The Ruiltcdu Gazette says:
 "German locomotives are said to cost, on an average, Sl1 ,o0o each Our native establishments would be overjoyed at such prices. It has not, we believe, been questioned that the Americans can produce better as well as cheaper en- glnes The closer the comparison be- tween the railway systems of this coun- try and the old world the more reason we have to be proud of the skill of our artisans and the progressive spiriA of our manufacturers.
 Last year the Baldwin Locomotive Works, of Philadelphia, built locomo- tives for the new railway between Jaffa and Jerusalem, in Palestine. It was to this fact that one of the speakers at the late protectionist banquet in New York referred when he triumphantly ex- claimed: "It Is due to this policy lpro- tection that the ruins of the ancient world vibrate with the shrieks of a Philadelphia locomotive.
 Not long ago a ship steamed out from Philadelphia with an entire cargo of Baldwin locomotives bound for Aus tralia. Last year we exported 161 loco- motives, valued at Sl,2so, 900, or slightly less than Ss, GOO apiece.
 Facts like these certainly prove that we are abundantly able to manufacture locomotives in competition with all the world. Yet what does Major Mckinley do? He put duty of Is ceuts per pound on all locomotives. This means duty of $40. 32 per ton, or total duty of Sl, 12s on a standard passenger loco motive weighing twenty eight tons.
 There is absolutely no need and no excuse for this duty. The only purpose 1t can serve is to enable the few manu- lecturers of locomotives to keep up prices in the home market at the same time that they are selling their locomo- tives in successful cont petition with all the world

Meantime Germany's imports of our hog products have fallen from $11 900, 900 in 1881, to very low figure last year, excepting the single item of lard, which is still imported under duty of about cent per pound. Aside from lard, Germany took from us last year only little more than $e00, 900 worth of hog-meats.
