Novelties in Silver.

Elsie Bee writes in The Jewellers Circu,
lar of the following new things to be seen
in the shops:
Cannon ball'' is the name given to the
new massive round table clocks. The glass
which covers the face is thick and magnifies
the figures somewhat.
Caricature in bronze paperweights is the
feature of the season. Two cats dining at q
restaurant table, monkeys dressed as cooks
and master renard dressed as gamekeeper
A shrimp salad bowl is shaped like an old
and slightly battered tin pan with wavelike
indentations over the gilt interior and
shapes of sea monsters dimly seen as il
through water.
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 u bow,
knot at the side. 1t is charming device as
well as novel, Each cup stands on little
gilt base.
Square ivory handles with incised lines
for ornaments are attached TO the tea AMI
coffee pots in some of the new silver serv
ices
Bread and cake dishes of silver Grco on low,
plain stands, oblong in shape, slightly hol-
lowed in the center, with Gariug ends and 4

The love for play and fun is not after all
the peculiar property of boys and girls,
and it may amuse our young readers to
hear how some very eminent men have
diverted themselves. The famous Car
dinal Mazarin is said to have been fond Of
shutting himself up in room and jump
ing over the chairs arranged in positions
varying according to the degrees of diff
Guilty in clearing them. On one OCCASION
the story runs, when so employed he forgot
to lock the door, and a young courtier en-
tered and surprised the great man in his
undignifed pursuit. 1t was difficult
position, but the young man was equal to
the occasion, for, assuming the greatest
Interest in the proceedings, he exclaimed
with well feigned earnestness, 81 will bet
your eminence two gold pieces that can
beat that jump" He was wise enough to
lose his two gold pieces, but before long he
gained miter.
Dean Swift used to relieve his tragic
moods by harnessing his servants with
cords and driving them up and down stairs
and through the rooms of his deanery. On
one occasion he insisted on Harvesting his
learned friend, DR.. Sheridan.
Equally innocent was the philosopher
Dugald Stewards attempt to balance a
peacock's feather on his nose. One day,
when friend visited Woodhouse Lee,
Stewart was found amusing himself with
this exercise, while Patrick Fraser Tytler,
the historian, was his competitor in this
curious contest of skill.

Tie Newest skirts.

y new device of the dressmakers gives
the effect of a long Russian blouse, and is
what was formerly called a double skirt.
1t is simply bell skirt lining covered with
the dress material up above the knees and
bordered at the foot with a ruche. Over
tapping this from the belt down is a shorter
skirt of the material, shaped precisely like
the lining and bordered with a ruche like
that of the foot This upper skirt repre-
sents the lower part of the long Russian
blouse, and is worn with a round waist
with edges extending over the top of the
skirt and concealing the join. 1t is ex-
tremely pretty when made OF black India
silk, with n ruche of box plated Brussels
net or of velvet ribbon bordering the skirts.
Those who are tired of plain skirts may
like the jabot skirt, which is made on a
bell shaped lining. The outer material is
not sloped away at the top of the back
seam, but is arranged to fall in iabot
down the bias seam of the lining. There
are also Vatican skirts made with a broad
triple plat in the back, iaring widely at
the foot and extending longer than the
skirt at the top; this upper part gradually
narrows to point and is carried half way
up the back of the corsage and attached
there under bow of ribbon or q pass

The Models Smile was 1Iisunderstood
by the sober Girl Student.

The Models Smile Was Misund erstood
by the Sober Girl Student.
An Indianapolis artist who has won
prestige in eastern art circles tells the
following incident which occurred in a
New York studio of much celebrity: A
large class of women and girls were
sketching from model, young
Italian, who was posed with his
head thrown back, his arms Enthusiastically
wreathed over his head and his legs ex-
tended in some sort of wild Bacchanal
caper.
The indianapolis woman was sketch
ing the models shoulder when she OBJ
served that he was smiling at her in a
very familiar manner. Somewhat dis
concerted to discover that she had ap-
parently made conquest of this guile
less child of Italia, she began TO sketch
his knee, as more remote from the artil-
lery of his sentimental glances. In a
remote corner of the room giggling
arose and she perceived that the smiles
of the firtatious model were taking eff
feet Upon some lively girls among the
students They subsidized shortly, but
the young Italian still continued firing
off smiling glances in every direction.
AT about the center of the class was a
German girl, serious to the core, alb.
sorbed in her work, and fierce in her
manner as female Bismarck. Every
stroke she planted on her easel was de.
cisive and almost combative. Suddenly
she came under the battery of the Ital.
ians smiles, and without an instants
hesitation her voice rang out like a
clarion:
"You schtop that schmiling; We don't
want you to schnile."
The figure of the model relaxed in.
simultaneously and he stood straight as
an arrow before the class, the impersona-
ton of offended and wrathful dignity.
After an appalling silence he remarked
in the severest tones:
Ladies', am here before you zimply

SWEETS For EVERYBODY.

Fruit Crusts, Custards aud Other Dainties
That Delight the Sweet Tooth.
Whatever you do, let your sweets be real
of their kind, your custard made with eggs
and milk, guiltless of corn flour or custard
powder; your whipped cream genuine, not
eked out with white of egg; while, il YOU
like that insipid dish blanc mango, eat it
under that name, and not under the alias
of Italian cream owing to the addition Of
handful of dried fruits.
Fruit crusts are pretty little hot sweets,
so are slices of French roll dipped in a mix
ture Of egg, milk and sherry, and fried in
butter, some hot apricot or peach jam,
miNedwith the wine, being poured over
them before serving.
Baked chocolate or coffee custards are
simple and economical. The little castle
puddings are always nice, especially when
Favored with lemon, steamed and served
with wine sauce, or when baked and rolled
in sweet syrup.
Fruit tarts should always be served cold,
and the cream handed with them is better
whipped, in the opinion of many people.
One of the incest and most quickly pre-
pared sweets is cream, whipped stifIly,
sweetened favored with vanilla or lemon,
and mixed with brown bread crumbs. 1t
should be served piled high in an old china
bowl, and strewn with more crumbs and
glace cherries.
n delicious accompaniment TO any
stewed fruit is rice or tapioca cooked in
milk, with sugar and vanilla, and mixed
when well nigh cold with whipped cream,
then piled rocklike IN glass dish.
Eggnogg (made of whipped cream, raw
yolk of egg powdered sugar, sherry, lemon
juice and dash of RUM and similar semi
liquid sweets look very pretty served in
tea or coffee cups and saucers of old china.
You may have the saucers placed around,
and the cups handed on tho large cake or
bread and butter plates Of an old fash
ioned service in lieu of tray. This looks
quainter than custard glasses, which are
old fashioned.
Among hot sweets may be mentioned
fruit frittcrs, beignets, soufIles, pancakes,
etc, but only the first need special men
tion. Bananas make incompatible fritters;
slices of oranges are good, and 50 are
halved greengages.

leaving 13 stitches for the leg. Knit IS
rows upon these II stitches, and to make a
little point to turn over the toe and fit into
the sole when it is sewn up, increase on the
last stitch of the 9TH and 9th rows, then de-

row cast on l3 more stitches for the other

the I'd and Sd stitches at the end, and at

wool. The leg is knitted with four needles.

be introduced on the bodice and probably
in the coiffure.
There is a great deal Of lace used on
evening gowns, and bouncing is gracefully
arranged to form a fichu on a low bodice
and sleeves all in one. 1t is gathered on
the top of the arm and allowed to fall over,
then drawn in and narrowed as it goes
down the front and back of the bodice.
Upright epaulets Of velvet, attached to
braces composed of ribbon velvet, are to
be seen on many ball gown bodices, the
braces often ending in very long ends of
velvet falling from a bow at the back Of
the waist. The fashion of carrying velvet
over each shoulder tying it in a good
sized bow half way down the back and al
lowing the ends to fall to the edge of the
skirt, suits some figures and has a grace
full effect; and so has back width of the
skirt material taken up sacque fashion
and apparently tied to the bodice by bow
and long ends. The velvet or ribbon is
about four inches wide This is more
usually seen on tea gowns.

A Country Without Clocks.

We know that there must have been O
time when ,timepieces were unknown, and
that, even to this day, there are people in
this country-Indians, for instance-to
whom the sun is the'only standard of time;
but it is hare to realize that such people
could be anything but barbarians. Yet
Golden Days tells us there are civilized
countries where timepiece can be dis
pensed with conveniently, In Liberia,
which is anything but barbarous in man
ners and customs, clock is rarely seen
in the farmhouses, and many of the town
residents have no timepieces of any sort.
The reason is that the republic lies only
degs. north of the equator; therefore, the
sun rises about 6 n. IN. and sets about 6
p. m. all the year round, and at noon it is
vertically overhead. Therefore, it is very
easy to tell the hour of the day with rea-
sonable certainty, and many people become
so expert in telling time by the sun that
they are rarely more than aquarter Of an
hour out Of the way

An Inrnllible Remedy.

Alexander II. H. Stuart, who lately
died at Staunton, Va, when secretary
of the interior under President Fillmore
used to tell the following good story of
how he got rid of an Office seeker soon
after assuming the office: II was very
much annoyed by persistent applicant
for the post Of messenger. The man
came in regularly every day for several
weeks until he became an unbearable
bore. Finally one day after the man
had gone out, l asked the messenger
then in office if he knew what that man
was after. He said, No, SIR Well,
said l, he wants your place, and if
ever Isee him again he shall have it,
l never saw the man again. Washing

How victor Hugo Used to work.

Victor Hugo always wrote standing at a
high desk, especially constructed for him,
throwing off sheet after sheet as fast as he
filled it, till he would be quite showed up
in leaves of foolscap. He often rose in the
middle of the night to note down an idea
or verse, He got up for the day usually
at o'clock, and would devote from six to
eight hours per diem to his work. He
made but few corrections, his poems being
thought out complete In his brain before
he put pen to paper. 1t is a we'll known
fact that he indulged in the arduous task
