HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
HOW TO MAKE FRENCH ROLLS.

Boil four potatoes of ordinary size,
having peeled them first, and mash them
up fine in the water in which they were
boiled. Stir the potatoes into quart
of flour, adding the usual quantity of
yeast. Make the dough thick, as hard
as it will hold together. In rising, it
softcns SO mucn that it can just be
kneaded without sticking.
The kncading IS an important part OF
the operation. A quarter Of an hours
kneadng ought to suffice for small re
cine like the one here given. knead by
drawing out one end like 4 rope, aud
rolling the other portion over and over.
The object of making the dough thick
ard stiff to begin with is to avoid put
ting in flour after the dough is light, for
the mass softcns SO much by putting
potatoes in that it will be Just right when
fermentcd.
After the kneading, put the dough
away to fcrmcut again, and, wien
light, knead as before. A third kuead-
inc still improves it, but it is not neccS-
sary. No butter should be put in these
rolls, or in bread either, as it makes 1t
like short cake III grain, which IS
precisely what one desires t. avoid.
Good rolls ought to Sc pulls Of wheat
flour baked; they oi5 1T to tear IN shred'
or strips, have fibre or grain like tn"
hllsk of cocoanut, and fragrant
wheat smell; and lastly have rather
tough spring or tear to them, and a
crackly crust In form they are round
at the sides and bottom, and this is
attained not by rolling them up between
the hands, as many suppose, but from
the potatoes, and the way in which they
are kneaded. Each roll must be cat OH
of the mass of the dough; that is to say,
the dough must not be headed and then
shaped into rolls, but must be kne&ded
and put back into the pan again to rise
in lump. When raised and kneAfed
the last time, turn it all out on the
board, cut off each roll from the mass
without tearing or disturbing it, Or even
touching it with the hands ia little prlc-
tice will enable one to do lt, and place
them gently in the baling-pa aboIt an
ZACH apart. After standing few
minutcs-say five or six-they will be
ready to 90 into tie oven, an Tea
minutes ought to bake them If they are
light.
Before they are put into the oven they
should be cut down the middle with a
knife dripping with melted butter.
This prevents the cat sides from coming
together and makes the cleft clear aal
well defined.
AS to the trouble involved in the pro
cess, | leave that to the judgment OF
hou5ekeepers. At six i'll the evening we
set our rolls, at nine they are rea iy to
knead. They are left all night to rise
again, and the first thing in tie morn
ing, before the fire is made, are kneadel
again. When they are light, which will
be in an hour, they are ready to bake. 49,

LIVES BY BEING PHOTOGRAPHED.

The most curious occupation heard of
lately is that of a young woman vino
earns bread aud butter by being photo
graphed.- Not for her face and not for
her figure, except in 50 far as by means
of those she may the better display
pretty gown. 1t has been business
occupying small number of women in
Paris regularly for some years back to
pose for sketch artists or before tie cam
ETA for the composition of the fashion
plates sent out with the more expensive
French fashion magazines. Nothing OF
the sort has been done in New York I'm.
til lately, American fashion publications
either copying their pictures from French
and English periodicals directly OF
topping out gowns with fancy head
pieces-a very barren and insane fancy
commonly-or calling the first girl who
came in sight from the workroom to be
immortalized.
Latterly there has been demand for
fashion pictures which looked lifelike
and not wooden, and the utmost diff
Guilty has been experienced in getting a
better class of art work IN them. Women
with pretty faces are beginning to be ap-
pealed to to lend their features and their
figures for the purpose. A dimpled
blonde, whose husband is at the head of
a large publishing house, was in the very
act of yielding to the charms of new
tea gown enc day recently when her hus-
band interfered lest the magazine readers
might recognize the model. The pro-
fessional fashion model will be an insti-
tuition shortly. The girl spoken of is
already in the field. She poses on a
divan az carefully as for an academy
picture to bring out her own best points
and those of an evening gown; she plays
tepnis, she poises an alpenstock. Just
now she is skating for next winters out
door gowns. Fashion illustrations have
Jagged so far behind all other pictures
that it has been ruin to wood engraver
who aspired to anything better to work
on them. The standard is going to be
raised now.-New York Commercial
Advertiser.

GIRLS DRESSES.

Girls dresses ale made with bell.
skirts, and for the most part either
blouse or half gathered waists. A yoke
either of the goods or of embroidery or
lace and round collar and deep cuffs to
match arc preferred for all ordinary
dresses. The Russian blouse is used as
well for girls as for grown-ups. This is
one of the most useful of lately intro
duced garments, and is comfortable as
well as stylish. Tho edges of the gar
ment are usually trimmed with little
fancy braid, sometimes with little vel
vet or ribbon of various sorts. Stitched
on folds of silk or of the material OF tho
dress or of bias velvet are pretty. A
convenient and inexpensive finish is a
double fold of the fabric stitched on the
edge; feather stitching and very narrow
passementerie are also employed for this
purpose and great deal of lace and EN-
broidery, the latter, however, more t.
peciallY for wash dresses or for best.
Simple dresses of wool goods are more
appropriately trimmed with dark braid
or other similar garniture. A neat aud
6GyIISu uICSS vi CttSuulClC has very udIloW
plaits in the front of the skirt so ar
ranged as to form a point. The full
waist is similarly plated or tucked, tho
sides and back are cut full length and
have cluster of tucks at the hem. A
very wide sailor collar, pocket lids,
corselet and cuffs OF embroidery form
the finish.
A small girls dress of batiste has
three clusters of trucks with insertion
above the hem. The yoke and deep
cuffs are of tucks and insertion, and
wide fall of embroidery edges the yoke
and falls over the wrist; the sleeves have
frills of embroidery between the cuffs
and the upper portions. A popular gar
ment for small children and girls is
yoke or Mother Hubbard aproa, The
yoke is cut to fit, and straight breadths
are fulled in. The tull sleeves have
ruffles of embroidery, and a double ruche
of the same garniture finishes tho neck.
The apron buttons down the entire
length of the back and entirely covers
the dress. Ga very warm days these
aprons may tie worn over the under gar
ments without dress. They are simple,
inexpensive and easily laundried, and are
not only economical but becoming and
in every way comfortable. New York

FASHION NOTES.

Wells are the passion of the hour.
Watered gauze is pretty novelty.
Red is to be extensively used in mill
linery.
The Piccadilly is desirable hat for
travelling.
Very high effects of pulled hair, with
the wavy part of the front hair drawn up
over these puffs by being held up by
small ornamental combs, are now seen.
Many of the pretty dresses for the
with three tiny ruffies made of ribbon,
the frills just tapping each other just
trife and no more.
A pretty fancy is for the bridemaids
to walk up the church aisle in diamond
procession, first one bridemaid, then two,
and fourth alone, followed by the bride
with her father.
It is really extravagant to buy poor
tablecloths. They are never dainty, and
need soon TO be repaired or replenished,
and the cost of two poor ones is more
than the cost of handsome double
damask which will be JOY for years.
Black silk boots with fancy uppers are
in constant demand. Handsome dress
shoes worn with pure onyx black silk
hose ARE made Of finest undress kid, with
soft French kid vamps. This is one OF
the most elegant aud ladyllke styles OF
foot wear.
The latest service of the bowknot is
the very last that might be expected. A
set of after dinner coffee cups of royal
Worcester are bound with gilt ribbons
tied in bowknot ut the side. It Isl a
charming device, as we'll as novel. Each
cup stands on little base.
Nigat dresses are made of fine striped
or dotted rercale, or Of batiste, as we'll
as OF silk. Often a blouse effect is
given to night dress, which may have
an embroidered belt. The skirt may be
simply tinished with dep hen or elab-
oratsly trimmed, according to TASTE

the attainment of happiness.
He is truly good who desires always to
bear the inspection of good men.
There is always room for a man of
force, and he makes room tor many.
Happiness does away with uglne5s,
and even makes the beauty of beauty.
Our domestic affections are the most
salutary basis of all good government.
Ignorance, in the midst of the refine

No man has come to true greatness
who has not felt in some degree that his

no need of it.
1t is a shameful aud unseemly thing to

the claims of self-lovs in others, and
exacts it in return from them.

No Rice in Rice Paper.

Rice paper is not made from rice; nor
from rice stalks, MOI has 1t any connec-
ton whatever with rice. 1t is of Chinese
manufacture, and is made from the pith
of a certain tree resembling the elder.
The pith is extracted from the tree in
large cylindrical masses, and with large
knives the Chinese pare off the cylinder,
till, instead of a cylindrical form, they
have large fat sheet. This is pressed
and other sheets added, until the required
thickness is secured. The paper is toen
rudely sized, and is ready to use. It was
called rice paper under the supposition,
when it was first introduced into Europe,
that it was made from rick stalks, and
the name has never been changed. New

A Cows Strange Infatuation.


A gentleman, living near Franklin is
the possessor of a COW which developed
strange freak some time ago. Her calf
being removed from her she adopted a
young setter pup, and would stand for
hours licking it, just as she did her calf,
and would make the greatest fuss when
ever the pup was out of her sight-bel-
lowing and stamping, and would not be
comforted until she could have it near SO
she could fondIe it,
She would even hold up her milk for
the dog, and seemed much prouder of it
than of her calf The owner sent the dog
away, and he fears he will have to do
the same with the cow, as she still per-
sists in grieving for it, and Withholding
her milk Sacramento (Cal.) Record

book form under the title The Biography

his first boots;
In due time the pair of royal feet required
to be shod, as baby feet generally do, so in
his fourth month the foot of the baby king
was duly measured, the royal bootmaker
was duly instructed and the royal shoes
were in due time sent home. Beautiful OBJ
iects they were, too; tiny, of course, as be-
fitted baby, but lovely to look at; gold
embroidered on white, as betitted king
And the same day that Alfonso XIII put
on his shoes 600 other new shoes were put
on 600 other baby feet in Madrid, max
ing COZ in all, for her majesty the queen
was pleased to ordain that the occasion of
the kings putting on his boots should be
