HIS HEARERS IN TIE SAME FIX

The State Journal, in its account
Of Mr.. Cubbison's speech at the court
house the other evening, reports him
as saying:
He did not know when he began what he

said.
We have Conversed with several
persons who were present and heard
him, and they were very much in the
same predicament.

WORMS IN FURNITURE.

A curious trouble which develops in
furniture sometimes is the presence of a
worm gnawlng in the wood. The same
trouble may occur in a closet built in
house, Or in any raw wood. The best
remedy for this trouble is to paint the
furniture and shelves with solution OF
colocynth. This can probably be Oh.
tanned from any druggist. It is the pulp
of the bitter cucumber, and is exec ed
ingly acid to the taste, though not
poisonous, except when taken in exces-
sive quantities. If this cannot be OBJ
tanned, get a preparation of quassis,
which a housekeeper tells us will be
equally useful. This trouble does not
arise from surfaces which are finished
with a coating Of varnish or polish.
The worm gets into the wood from some
under surface of the furniture which Is
left unfinished, and it is to these surfaces
that the remedy should be applied. It
may be put on with an ordinary paint
brush, beng careful to touch every por-
ton of the undressed wood. A CORE
spondent wrote not long ago that she
had a -aluable bedstead in which she
could hear a ticking noise, which was
undoubtedly caused by a worm in the
wood.-New York Tribune.

A NEW UNDERGARMENT.

French designers have sent over some
elegant garments made like low-necked
princesse dress, demi.trained. This
garment is a sort of compromise between
a petticoat and silk corset cover, and,
being narrowly ,gored ard beautifully
shaped, makes an ideal garment to wear
beneath a perfectly fitted tailor costume
or princesse evening toilet, as there
are neither band nor gathers about the
waist. The home dressmaker, by the
aid of fine fitting princesse dress pat
tern, can make this silk combination
garment at about oue-fifth of the cost OF
an imported one. There is nothing in
tricate about either its fashioning, fin
ishing or trimmjng.-St. Louis Repub-

PROGRESSIVE FRENcHwoMEN.

"on a recent trip through France I
was forcibly struck by the manner in
which women are forging to the front in
that country" said T. E. Levan, of Bos-
ton, at the Southern. "Statistics show
that France leads all the countries OF
Europe in the employment of women.
Most of the accountants and bookkeep-
ers in French shops are females whose
salaries range from So to 10 week, &C.
coIding to proficiency and the size of the
establishment in which they work. A
peculiar phase of the employment Of
these women is that most OF them save
their earnings very carefully, in order to
buy an interest in the business. This in
clinaticn is always encouraged by the
proprietors, inasmuch as it is the general
opinion that part ownership induces
greater fidelity on the part of the clerks. "

TO COOK A YOUNG CHICKEN.

scalding water is too hot for young
chickens. Put in pint of cold water
to half gallon of hot. When scalded,
pick the chicken clean, taking off all
the pin feathers. Put it in a pan OF
cold water and wash off what feathers
remain; then hold it over the flames and
scorch off the hairs. When ready to
fry, put in the pan two spoonfuls of lard
and one spoonful of butter. When hos,
have the chicken cut up and well
drained; salt and pepper and roll the
pieces in flour and brown them we'll on
both sides, being careful not to burn
them. Cover tightly and place on the
back of the stove, with a very little
water, to steam a few minutes. Have
ready one PIT of cream or milk, in
which one spoonful of flour has been
smoothly mixed. Take out the chicken
and put the pan over the fire. Stir in
the milk and -four, and this makes good
gravy.-Boston Cultivator.

may rival the rainbow; in length they
may range from the twelve-inch bonnet

rather short of aesthetic grace as she
strides along, the sole object of ''getting

clutches these ends nervously in one

EGG LEMONADE.

A delicious egg lemonade may be
easily made at home. For an invalid it
is both nutritious and refreshing. AS a
matter of fact, we'll people have been
known also to enjoy the pleasant mix
ture. To make it break an egg in a
tumbler, rub two Jumps of sugar on the
rind of fine lemon until sufficient
amount OF the flavor is extracted, put
sugar into the tumbler, squeeze in the
juice of the lemon and fill up the glass
with finely crushed ice. Add a little
water and shake the whole mixture vig-
orously for minute, and then CRATE a
little nutmeg on the top. An ordinary

THE WEDDING GOWN.

In spite of Ibsen, Tolstoi, and Mona
Card, a wedding gown and veil still
have their fascinations for womankind.
Just now this gown must be of satin,
heavy and lustrous, cream white if for a
blond, ivory white if for brunette. 1t
is very simply made by the brides of
provident and practical lntuitions, for
the glamour of romance always converts
the bridal dress into something mystic
ally beautiful, and the folds of the we'd
ding veil conceal deficiency in fit and
detail.
A pretty idea is to have a plain, long
train edged round with a ruche of flowers
yelled in chiffon or silk muslin, and at
tached to the waist beneath a folded
Empire belt of the material. The folds
reach almost up to the armhole to give
the short-waisted Empire effect, and
more folds are turned down around the
bell skirt below the waist. The material
is cut on the bias and shaped over the
lifted aud boned lining. The waist of
the gown shown is trimmed above its
folded crinture with chiffon, and the
veil of tulle is fastened in place with the
traditional orange blossoms. A new
fancy is to wear the short length of the
veil over the face, not only through the
ceremony, but until the bridal white is
exchanged for the smart travelling COVE

swEETBREADs.

Sweetbreads are daily becoming more
and more in demand, both to tempt the
capricious appetite of convalescent in
valids and for dainty dishes on dinner,
lunch or tea. While by no means diff
cult to cook, care must be taken to follow
the directions for their preparation the
process being the same, no matter which
of the recipes is chosen. In selecting,
the larger, plumper and more heshy they
are, the better. Put them first into tepid
water, letting them remain from fifteen
minutes to half an hour, then SGT on the
fire in cold water to which little salt
has been added. As soon as the water
begins to boil, pour it off and slip them
into a pan of cold water until they are
perfectly cold. This parboiliug and
chilling, which is termed blanching,
makes them soft and white. Next re-
move the pipe and the skin. For this
purpose scissors are better than knife.
lit is said that woman signalized her en-
trance into the chemists laboratory by
substituting the pitcher and the scissors
for the bottle and the knife always used
By man, And as the sweetbreads are in
pairs, cut them apart. Served whole
with white sauce, The sauce requires
half a cup of milk, one tablespoonful of
-four, and piece of butter the size of an
English walnut (allow the -four and the
butter to each sweetbread.) Braid the
-four and the butter together, let the milk
come to boil, stir in the -four and the
butter, add blade of mace, and let all
simmer FIVE or ten minutes. The sweet
breads are simmered in this sauce until
every tinge of pink disappears. They are
kept in shape with the wooden toothplcks
--called toothpick skewers-used for fish
and small birds. When thoroughly done,
lay them on a dish, put border OF pars-
ley round them and pour the white sauce
over and around them. The mace IS, OF

smooth-which will require about three
quarters of an hour-then rub them
through a strainer so that you will have
a smooth thick sauce. Have ready four
sweetbreads, blanched and trimmed. Put
them into a pan with the tomato, season
with salt, pepper and mace or nutmeg.
Add two or three tablsspoonfuls OF
butter rolled in -four. Set the pan over
the fire and stew until the sweetbreads
are thoroughly done, which will be il
about three-quarters of an hour. Before
taking off, stir in the well-beaten yolks

SEWING MACHINES AND LOUD VOICES.

Il am sorry to say that my married
daughter has voice like peacock's
cry," said an elderly gentleman who was
once an auctioneer and wants to pass the
residue of his days in peace. my wife,
however, speaks with very gentle tones.
l'Her voice is soft and low, an excellent
thing in woman Both mother and
daughter are indefatigable seamstresses,
but, while my daughter uses sewing
machine, my wife still adheres to the
glow, old fashioned needle. Women al
ways like to talk as they sew, but an
operator on sewing machine is obliged
to raise her voice or she cannot make it
heard above the voice of the instrument.
The habit of loud talking is quickly &C.
quired, and woman does not leave it
behind her in the sewing room. She
carries it with her wherever she goes. I
suppose that for an industrious young
American woman the Sewing machine is
a necessity, but I would advise her not
to talk as she works, for if she does 80
she will certainly acquire loud, harsh
voice. New York Herald.

Shade Around Houses.

Neither fruit nor ornamental trees
should be grown so that their shade falls
at all times on the house, shutting out
the sunlight. 1t does not matter so much
while the trees are small, but as they
grow large they render the living-rooms
damp and unwholesome. The tendency
of vines especially to bury houses near
which they grow in their shade needs to
be guarded against. If allowed to re-
main they should be thoroughly pruned
each year. r.-Bostcn CultiVator.

Many persons have puzzled their
brains wondering why the "Red" Sea
should be SO called. The name was origi.

are covered with patches from a few

dye the waters blood red. When not
