HIRED HER WEDDING DRESS.
The Economical Plan Adopted by
Young Bride In England,

l se"hb ptAup ~ AthFsihAas
Here is little story which should
gladden. the heart of paterfamilins and
convey valuable hint to those about to
become wives. An uncle promised his
niece a wedding dress whenever she
should stand in need of that commodity.
The suspicious day on which such an
article would be necessary hove in sight,
and the uncle, true TO his pledge, pre-
sented the young lady with check for
ESQ with which to make herself beautiful
at the important event.
The young lady, wisely resolving to
have competent advice on so momentous
subject, conferred with friend who
had some six months previous herself
become an English wife. "Au expensive
wedding dress is an odious extrava-
gance," quote the youthful matron. II
wish | had never thrown away my
money on one"
And yours was such u beautyw re-
piled the prospective bride.
ut was; but il is white elephant
now. | have never had chance to Weir
it since. And my husband calls il a
'beastiy thing and says it will never be
any use until he's dead and go to the
hymeneal altar again. I'll sell it to you
for third of what ii cost"
at would just fit me. Our figures are
SO alike. And the rest of the costume.
dear?"
You can have the whole affair-veil,
shoes, all. None have ever seen daylight
since my wedding"
A long pause ensued. The maiden
was considering the offer. Presently
she said: "l'll tell you what I'll do,
dear. | don't believe I'll buy wedding
dress at all. I'll hire yours for the occa.
sion just as people hire their flowers for
the same ceremonies. How much will
you take for the use of it for one day ~
1.-Two pounds.
"lt's bargain. What capital idea I
And shall look just as well as if | had
spent the whole $50 on dress
And this thrifty young damsel became
an English wife in an exquisite costume
which was glowingly described in all
the ladies and fashion papers, but for
the use of which she paid only e2 ster-
ling. And already, from this small
beginning, there is springing up an in.
dustry which consists in the application
OF the "hire system to wedding cos.
tunes. Soon, no doubt, we shall see
numerous advertisements in this style:
w Dung Ladies About to Marry. DO
not throw away your money on useless
wedding dresses, but call at A. b. and
Co. and see the things of beauty which
you can hire for the day at most reason

| wonder why, six months ago,
When We two met to say goOd-by,
And roses tossed their scented snow
To wOoing winds that whispered nigh
When sunlight fell in glittcring showers
The blossom laden ,boughs among,
Aud all the earth was bright with flowers,
And all the air was glad with song:
That even though you bent and kissed
The fearful cloud upon my face
| only saw world of mist,
Which held no beauty and no grace
wonder why, now days are cold,
And no gay wing the coppice stirs;
Now snow lies thickly DER the void,
And mournful winds are in the frs;
Nor sun nor bird nor flower | miss,
Because at the old place we stand
There are no tears for you to kissJ,
And once more whisper hand in hand;
That though the earth is wrapped in gloom.
And leaden clouds shut out the sky,
My world seems filled with light and bloom
And summer WARMTH wonder why

NOW TO COOK PEARS.
Excellent Recipes for Properly Prepar-
ing This Valuable Fall Fruit.

ing This Valuable Fall Fruit.
Harper's Bazaar.
Among fall fruits the pear holds an
important place, although its reputation
has suffered somewhat from improper
treatment when an attempt has been
made to serve pears cooked, either as
sauce or canned.
The pear possesses some peculiar
qualities, and requires different treat
ment from other fruits.
1t is the only fruit that is better for
being removed from the tree when green
and laid aside to ripen.
1t has no marked flavor Of its own,
and readily adsorbs that of any spice or
fruit
1t requires to be cooked much longer
than most fruits. When simply canned,
Its only recommendation to most persons
is its looks and the large, white, per-
fectly shaped halves do look nice, but
are tastcless and insipid.
Ripe juicy pears arc delicious served
with sugar and cream. The pears
should be put on the ice until cold,
peeled, sliced thin, sprinkled with sugar,
and served Immediately.
Pears bake nicely and make very
rich dish. They require at least two
hours to cook.
Baked pears, No. Wash and wipe
the pears, cut in halves, remove the core
and all imperiections; but in d deep
earthen balang-dish, cover with water,
and place in a hot oven. When soft
add sugar and brown.
Baked Pears, No. 2.-Selcct sound,
perfect pears, place in baking dish
with a little water. Bake until
thoroughly done. When cool remove
the skins, roll each pear in graduated
sugar ana arrange in glass dish. Serve
with whipped cream.
A housekeeper whose dishes always
prove acceptable and appetizng pre-
parcs what she calls potted pears in this
way: Take nice ripe pears: do not peel,
but wipe carefully; cover the bottom Of
stone jar with pears, stems upward,
and sprinkle sugar over them: then set
III another layer Of pears; sprinkle over
more sugar and continue until the lpr is
lull. Put in pint and half OF water
70 every gallon OF fruit. Cover the jar
close and set in slow oven two hours.
iousekecpcrs remote from markets,
who are obliged TO buy their supplies Of
fruit canned, will find the pears much
improved if treated in this way. Re-
move tho fruit from the can, and il the
pears are soft enough for a broom straw
10 pass easily through them, drain oil
the juice and set the pears aside. Put
the juice in porcelain kettle with half
a pint OF sugar and pint Of water. Tie
hall teaspooniul OF ground cloves in a
piece OF thin muslin, and throw into the
syrup, which should be boiled until it
looks thick and rich. Then put in the
pears and cook 10 minutes. Carefully
remove each piece of pear with
wooden or silver spoon to Il glass or
carthen jar, pour the syrup over them
and cover tightly until cold The bag
Of cloves should be removed before the
pears are put in the .Yrnn.

to Central America Against His Will.
One of the few men who have sur.
vived the climate and experiences of
life in Central America, after having
been shipped there to die of fever by
Liverpool jack arrived in New York
city yesterday. He is Davis Radskowsky,
Russian, about 80 years old. He tells
queer story of his adventures. RAIDS
kowslly is leather worker by trade,
and came to this country about six years
ago. lie secured employment with a
firm in West Thirty-third street, New
York, where he used to earn S25 week,
but in December, 1888, the house failed
and Radskowsky found himself without
work.
He thought that by going down to
Castle Garden he might find some one
who would secure him employment, as
he had done WHEN he first landed. So
he went there, and met Liverpool Jack.
The latter promised for a fee of $50 to
secure him place In which he could
earn from S3 to $4a day. Radskowsky
paid the money, which was almost half
OF his two years savings, and Liverpool
Jack then told him that ship was to
sail for Central America in two days.
The leather worker was to go on her
with about forty others, and on arriving
at their destination, Jack assured him,
he would find lots of work.

The differences of the judges in the case
OF Richardson, the Milford burglar, has
led to making lawyers of more persons
than have been admitted to the bar. but
people will think and talk where there is
anything out of gear in the regular consti-
tuted machinery. The Morning Ne,cs
quotes its Dover contemporary as to the
law in cOntradistinction to the facts. and
says:
The Dover DeIaUarean, with some mis-
giving, but with no lack of force when II
gets to work, sets itself up as a court of re-
view in the recent dramatic case of diso-
greement between Judge Grubb and Judge
Cullen at Dover. The Deldlcareaga THINKS
that Judge Cullen was right, but we ven
ture to say that it does not make Judge
Cullen's position clear.
1t says that Judge Cullen held that
whlle IN certain cases officers and citizens
nad the right to arrest suspected persons.
IN this especial case 1.-THE Richardson bur
glar easel they had not because of the fact
that II had been proven on the trial that
the officers had a whole day in which TO
procure warrant and that in fact there
had been no arrest by the officers" " Rut
Judge Grubb in his charge said that
when warrant of arrest is reasonable. II
IS required but where it would be imprac-
tcable and unsafe to require it. before
making an arrest, it may be dispensed
WITH so that it scarcely requires the re-
peated use of the word fact bv the Del
,a'0arean to show that the difference be-
tween the two judges was one of fact. and
not of law. Accepting the DeLalOarean's
statement of Judge Cullen's View. and
comparing it with our liberal citation from
Judge Grubb's opinion, it becomes evil
dent that both men agreed as to the law
and only differed as to the fact.
why, then, was Judge Cullen deter
mined to make a scene on the bench. and
not content to leave the question of fact to
the jury? We have not yet heard an ad-
tequatee explanation of Judge Cullen's ex-
traordinary. behavior, but evidently there
derlying it.
