did you know that decorating bedroom

among young women?" asked the clever
woman, who always knows everything.
well, it is, and think the men ought to
appreciate the delicate compliment to their
tastes and habits. One very charming girl
l know had in the corner of her bedroom an
ugly, unavoidable iron pipe. She has made
1t thing of beauty by covering its entire
length with bands and bows of pretty rib
bon, in all the new and artistic tints; here
and there in the ribbons she has stuck doz-
ems of pipes of every variety, ranging from
the long-stemmed ones down to the tiny
Tom Thumb opium pipes.
Another girl has long chain of pipes,
tied together with bright yellow ribbons,

the top of window. Still another has a
row OF pipes of all kinds fastened up the
inside edge Of her door-frame. and fourth
has clusters of pipes tied with ribbon, min
gled with her pictures on the walls.
The sentiment which gives rise TO the
fancy, no doubt. is similar to that which
makes man delight in a match-ease made

Hat In Curisus auise. g

Writing from st. Petersburg, our COR
respondent says: A curious case comes
up for trial in . Court Of Second In
stance next week, the details Of which
are instructive. The plaintiff, an lady
took . strong fancy to tiny lap-dog a
few months ago, which she declared was
the prettiest and funniest little creature
she had ever set her eyes upon. The
dealer, however, dampencd her enthus-
ism by asking an exorbitant price for
the animal, whose nimblencss and vivac.
ity were certainly marvellous. A day or
two later the lady called again, deter
mined to pay the extravagant price, but
like the Roman king, when bidding for
the books of the Sybil, her offer was
refused and the price raised. She acted
somewhat different from the pagan
monarch, however, and paying the
money, returned home with the coveted
prize.
All her friends admired her new &C.

that it was somewhat queer that the
animal should be continually Sinking
away into dark corners, and generally
fighting shy of the light, while she had
no more success in trying to tame it than
If she had tried her hand on jaguar.
The general conduct of the lap-dog was
highly mysterious, but it was mystery
possessed of a certain charm which
rather added to its value than otherwise.
They fed tho animal with the best OF
everything, and, one day, after it had
partaken of hearty meal, its mistress
thought she heard an explosion. Look
ing round, she missed her lap-dog, but
in Its place beheld an enormous rat
standing on the dogs skin, in which it
had been cunningly sewed up by the
dishonest dealer. The case will now be
heard by Court of Second Instance in
connection with the question of the
amount of damages claimed by the plain
tiff. The dealer alleges that he was de

HOME MADE sAusAaEs.

The present fashion of milking saus.
ages is to use castings of fiue cotton cloth
when they are not intended to be kept
for long time. But as the cloth Is not
air-tight aud the gut castings are, the
latter are used for the bologna sausages
that are intended for keeping. The
large iutestines are selected for this
purpose and turned inside out aud we'll
washed. They are then left in water a
few days until the lining membrane be-
comes soft and may be scraped off, when
the cleaned castings are salted and kept
in brine until used. The meat is finely
chopped and seasoned with salt, pepper
and any kind ofspices thought desirable,
and the castings are filled solidly. Tho
sausages are made about eighteen inches
long, and are smoked in the usual way.
The best European bologna sausages are
made in this way: Equal parts of beef
and pork are chopped and beaten fne
in mortar. The meat is then spread
out and sprinkled with brown sugar and
beaten again. It is then seasoned with
two parts of salt and one OF saltpetre,
finely powdered, to which are added
powdered mace, allspice, white pepper
and bay leaves. The meat is rolled out

on it in rows. The meat is then rolled
and put into the castings, or may be
sewn up in cloth, the ends being tied.

Hyou want the best food, you will be interested
in the following facts, which show why " Royal" I"
is the best baking powder why it makes the best
and most wholesome food, and why its use has
become almost universal Its sale greater in this
country than the sale of all other cream of tartar
Baking powders combined.
The Royal Baking Powder NEVER fails.
It is absolutely pure and wholesome.
1t is combined from the most approved
and healthful ingredients.
1t makes the finest favored, most tender,
delicious and wholesome food.
1t has greater leavening strength than
any other baking powder, and is therefore
the cheapest.
1t never loses its strength, but will keep
fresh and of fun leavening power until
used.
1t acts slowly in the dough, SO that none
Of its strength is lost before the baking is
completed.
1t makes food that viii keep sweet, moist
and fresh longer, or that may be eaten hot
and fresh with impunity.
The reasons why the Royal Baking Powder is
superior to all others in these respects are easily
stated. One is because it is made from chemically
pure materials; another is because it is made with
greater care and accuracy than any other. 1t is
always uniform in composition and leavening
power. It has been the slandard baking powder
since its introduction The founder and con-
ductor of its business ever since is still at

/. FEEprNa VALUE OF BRAN.

?. Bran, whether of wheat or rye, is of
itself perfect food, that is, it contains
all the elements of animal nutrition, and
in such proportions as are needed for
every animal product, with the sole ex.
ception of sulphur. It is rich in bone
making materials, as lime aud phosphoric
acid, and has ratio of nitrogenous to
carbo- hydrates exactly fitted for COM
plete nutrition. This is 81 of the latter
to one of the former. Its relative value
as compared with othur foods in money
is 81 per 100 pounds, and it has three
per cent. of fat. But it is not quite so
digestible as the whole grains from
which it Is derived. Consequently it
should be fed with other kinds of food
that are richer in starch and fat. Thus
the best way of feedingi it is when mixed
in equal proportions with oatmeal, which
is better than any one of the oil meals.
Four pounds of each of these two foods
is usual quantity for days feeding
fora COW. For sheep, which require
more sulphur than other animals, on ac-
count of the quantity of this that is con-
tanned in the fleece, some linseed meal
may be added, and clover hay or roots,
which, being rich in sulphur, may be fed
with bran to advantage.-New York
Times.
