Funeral of the Cars Nurse.

There was q remarkable scene in St.
Petersburg the other day at the funeral
of Miss Catherine Strutton, who was the
nurse of the present Gear. The deceased
lady was eighty.one years of age, and
had been forty-six years in tie service
of the imperial family. In fact, she died
at the Winter Palace from which the
funeral procession started. The weather
was very bad and the streets were full Of
melting snow and mud, which made the
walking particularly disagreeable. But
in spite of all this and the attending dia-
comfort, it is worthy of note that none
of those who were expected to be pres
ent failed to put in appearance. The
White Car himself, and the Grand
Dukes vladimir, Sergius and Paul,
walked side by side behind the hearse
which contained the old lady's coffin,
wading knee deep in the slush to the
English church. There the imperial
party attended the funeral service, the
Emperor sitting in the Ambassador
pew, and at the grave the English clergy
man who oficiated was attended by Rus
sian choristers.-Neu York Press.

pulled bread instead of toast. Pulled
bread is made by taking an underdone
loaf of bread from the oven, pulling it
out in small, irregular-shaped pieces and
then browning and finishing the cooking
in the oven. This gives very sweet,
nutty bread. My old cook insisted that
the real rarebit should have ale instead
of milk, but being strong temperance

CLEANING FINE OLD LACE.

In the spring after winters wearing
many ladies find their fine old laces IN a
deplorable condition and much OF it IS
thrown aside never to be used again.
This is wrong, for if one does not wish
to take it to a renovating establishment
it is an easy matter, if care is taken, to
clean very fine lace at home. "If," says
the Decorator and Furnisher, "it is old
and crazy pin it smooth on sannel-cov.
cred board, saturate it with benzine and
press it out with a soft napkin. Put
makeup lace-collars, handkerchiefs,
caps and so on-into glass or earthen-
ware and pour benzine over them with q
liberal hand. Whirl them rapidly about
in it, squeeze gently, drop into a clean
vessel and put on fresh fluid. 1t will re-
move every particle of dirt without in
any way altering the yellow antique hue
or shrinking the mesh, as water will do,
no matter how carefully applied"

NEED EX PL1cIT DIRECTIONS.

Did you ever know genuine Chinese
woman of culture2 There are very few
such women who are married to Anglo.
Saxon husbands and have adopted Anglo.
Saxon habits of thought, retaining
enough of spice of the "fowery king
DOM to be specially interesting. Such
women seem to be possessed, however,
in their work with the same mechanical
kind of mind which is the characteristic
of the male Chinese. They follow rule
given them with a fidelity and exactncss
that never fails to produce uniform re-
suit. An amusing instance of this per-
feet fidelity to detail is thus related: A
Chinese lady who had become thorough
ly anglicized was given g recipe for q
new cake which she had asked for. She
gazed at it critically. "It's an odd way
Of making cake" she murmured. "You
don't give any directions for butterng
the pan" "Of course, that is under
stood" was the amused answer. Un-
happily, it is the Anglo-Saxon woman's
habit to consider things understood,..in
cooking and to give directions in an in
definite manner, leaving half the rule to
be presumed; and this makes most cook
books failure. "My husband invited
friend to tea," said young married
lady recently, "and I wished to show
what q good housekeeper was; so ]
made some cake. I did not say anything
to the cook, as she was not too amiable
over my intrusion; but made the cake
by myself, exactly according to the recipe.
feeling certain that it would be better
than Bridget's. The rule gave no di.
rections for -four, so l did not put any in.
The cake was surprise to all of US. u
This story, which is literally true, goes
to chow how exceedingly ignorant a
young housckeeper may be, and how
necessary exact directions are.-Neu

natural, 80 artistic, so beautiful, as at
the present time, and, one might add, so
hygienic, The fashionable fufiness and
rightuess of the mode depend entirely
upon absolute cleanliness and frequent
washing. That accomplished, the
coiffure is placed high, low, or midway,
just as is most becoming to the face.
The aim of the hairdresser is to preserve
rs perfectly as possible the contour of the
head if it be shapcly, adding no absurd
knobs or excrescences, but looping the
soft, wavY locks, fold on fold, as close
to the head as possible. Young ladies
part the hair through the centre, and,
wavingit it on either side, braid it closely
and fiat against the head in the back.
A very pretty French fashion consists
in twisting the curly mass of hair into a
soft knot at the back of the head, and
placing q wreath of violets from the bang
around the head.
Women with beautiful features and
classic heads affect an extremely simple
style of hairdressing, and bind the head
about with the Grecian fillet of ribbon.
The ribbon is placed over fiat kind of
wire, which bends to the shape of the
head and holds it in place. A rather
fantastic Spanish coiffure isvery becom-
ing to dark beauties, and has chain of
pearls twisted among its coils.
The catogan style of hairdressing
promises to be we'll worn as the season
advances. The coiffure will not fall 80
far down on the neck when high dresses
are worn, but the soft loops and curled
ends of hair will droop toward the nape
of the neck and covered with an invisi-
BILE net. Jeweled nets, so popular when
the nations of to-day were maidens, and
other curious ornaments of the same date
are being revived for the bellies of to-
day.
The use of moderately hot curling
iron is not deprecated by hairdressers,
but, on the contrary, is beneficial to the
growth of the hair. A small amount Of
hair lightly waved and pinned in place
with shell or gold pins makes much
more attractive arrangement than the
quantities of false hair appropriated from
some other head that was formerly used.
The pretty daintiness of women is dis
played in their fastidious care of their
locks, which are perfumed and scented
with with faint but fascinating fra
GRANGE. The perfume should be care
fully used at some distance from the
roots of the hair. or disastrous results
may follow. Still there never was
sweet, right-minded woman who didn't
put perfume on her hair whenever she
liked, and where are the baldheaded wo.
men to prove the assertionG-New York

Infant Serpents.

As described by DR.. Walter Sibley, in
his paper in the British Association on
"The Incubation of serpents' EGGS" the
first sign of the process of Matching is n
slit, usually V-shaped, appearing at the
highest part of the egg-shelI, whether
the egg is placed on its side or on one
end. The snout of the young reptile
appears at the crack. After time the
head is protruded, and often remains
out of the shell for some hours before the
body and the tail art hatched. If dis
turbed, the head is again withdrawn in
to the shell. The author had seen fully
Matched young snakes return to their
shells when alarmed.
The young snakes, when first Matched,
are smooth and velvety to the touch,
with the yellow ring (of the common
English snake) beautifully marked from
the first, and the eyes open; but often
there is some opacity about the cornea,
which disappears in the course of few
hours. They are about six inches long
and weigh about eighty grains. They
begin to hiss in the first few days.-Meac

The PatllOs Of Ugliness.

There is small doubt as to how ma
jority of women of average good looks
would answer the following question:
(Which would you rather be, regnant in
the world of letters or art or gifted regally
with faultless beauty before which all
men must thrill9 1t is more than likely
that ninety homely women out Of any
hundred would in honesty prefer the
power that goes with personal lowell
ness to that which goes with wealth, with
the accident of lofty birth or with the
rarest intellectual distinction. 1t was
shrewd observation of the late DR.. Hol-
land that when we find man or woman
who is absolutely fawless in form and
feature we usually find fool. "For a
homely-even an ugly-man," he said,"I
have no pity to spare. I never saw one
so ugly yet that if he had brains and
heart he could not find beautiful woman
sensible enough to marry him. But for
the hopelessly plain and homely sisters
these tears p"
There is no pathos in human life so
profound and universal as this-not upon
battlefelds, not in the wild, vain strug-
gle of a soul adrift, seeking its God. The
ugly woman is in every village in the
world, living out her little tragedy. In
every worthy, womanly quality she may
be likely to be the superior of her pretty
sister; she is tender, she is meek, she is
true. But men yield her SNUG respect
and turn to her sister with eyes of love.
She has heart-hunger, and sometimes
when she either does not possess gifts Of
mind or the strength to cultivate them
she starves into that stolidity which ap-
peals to one of gentle feeling as does the
look of pain afoat in the eye of faith
full, wounded dog. 1t is worse still to
see her slowly brutalized by an migrate
upon whom she has lavished love that
is next to the divine. tits love like hers,
indeed, that should be the proudest Of
the human race-so clean 1t is, 80 endur-
ing, 80 wonderful in devotion and self
sacrifice; but it is love like hers, instead,
that fills the world with sorrow, fills its
asylums and its graves.-NeD York Aer-

BLEAcHED BLONDES OUT OF STYLE.

"Bleached and blondined hair is rap
idly growing out of STYLE" said Michael
Calvin, the owner of prominent hair
dressing establishment in Cincinnati,
"and women who have had their origin
ally dark locks dyed to that wretched
washed out tint like an over-worked
doormat or frightened into brasy hue
that deceived no one but themselves, are
now fastening the return to the original
color nature intended they should wear,
and allowing it by natural process to
resume its former hue. The blondining
of the hair was all the fad few years
ago, and even to-day if I was home in
Cincinnati would not speak discourag-
ingly of it, as it is business from which
we have all made lots of money, but as a
matter of fact it is a wrong which ought
to be remedied.-St. Louis Star-Say-
ings.

HASTY CORN SOUP.

4 nice corn soup can be made quickly
as follows: Half an hour before the soup
is required put can of sweet corn over
in clean stewpan with one pint OF water;
let it boil slowly, and when nearly done
add one quart of milk aud a tablespoon
full of -four, rubbed smoothly into two
tablespoonful of butter; pepper and salt
to taste, and just before serving beat two
eggs very light and turn the boiling soup
over them, stirring constantly, but do
not return to the stove. The beaten eggs
should be in the soup tureeu. Some per-

There is difference of opinion among
medical men as to the contagious phase
of diphtherla. That the disease can be

DRESS OF 10TH CENTURY ENaLrsHwoAlEN

DRESS OF 10TH CENTURY ENGLlSHWOMEN.
This description of the dress of Eng
lishwomen in 1915 is taken by the San
Francisco Examiner from letter written
by an attache of tho Venetian Legation
to friend at home:
"Their usual vesture is cloth petit
coat over the shift, lined with gray squir-
rel or some other fur; over the petticoat
they wear long gown lined with some
choice fur. The gentlewomen carry the
train of their gowns under the arm; the
commonalty pin it behind or before, or
at one side. The sleeves of the gowns
sit as close as possible, are long and un-
s!ashed throughout, the cuffs being lined
with some choice fur. Their headgear is
of various sorts of velvet, cap fashion.
with lappets down behind over their
shoulders like two hoods, and in front
they have two others, lined with some
other silk. Their hair is not seen, so it
is not possible to see whether it be light
or dark. Others wear on their heads
muslins, which are distended and hang
on their backs, but not far down. Some
draw their hair from under kerchief
and wear over their hair cap, for the
most part white, round and seemly.
Others, again, wear kerchief in folds on
their head; but, be the fashion as it may,
the hair is never seen. The stockings
are black, and their shoes doubly soled,
of various colors. When they meet
friends in the street they shake hands
and kiss on the mouth and 60 to some
tavern to regale, their relatives not tax
ing this amiss, as such is the custom.
The women are very beautiful and good
tempered"
