Distressing Shortage in the Supply of
Food for Cattle.
BERLIN, June 23.-At meeting of
Wurtemburg peasants petition to the
King was framed to convoke the Land
tag and ask grant for the purchase of
fodder abroad and it's distribution
among the peasants on credit.
The Wurtemburg ministers are con-
sulting experts in Hesse on the
situation. The Landtag has been sum-
moned to meet on June q for a similar
purpose. Along the Rhine and in Hesse
Nassau the greatest scarcity prevails.
The price of hay has risen s, 9 and in
some places 10 shillings per hundred
weight. From Strasburg it is reported
that meat is selling at such prices that
the peasant farmers have been forced
to slaughter their cattle, and it is feared
the result will be meat famine in 1894.

New YORK, June 24-Large trunks
and small trunks, trunks covered with
leather and wicker trunks-l5S Of them

trade-this morning blocked the hall
ways and sidewalk of Juan NJ.
Ceballos' residence and attested that
the Infanta Eulalia would sail to-day
for her native land. They made an I'M
posing display, that collection of trunks,
and drove Mr.. Ceballos' men into
tragical despair. Arrangements had
been made for breakfast Of the IN
formal sort that the democratically IN
breakfast was partaken of at IL o'clock.
There were ten in the party,
including the ladies and gentlemen OF
the Princess party and Mr.. Ceballos.
AT II o'clock the party left Mr.. Ce-
ballos' residence and were conveyed to
the pier where they embarked on the
French liner La Touraine, which sailed
at l o'clock for Havre. Among the
flowers and other remembrances which
Eulalia found in her steamer parlor
was a closed wicker basket con-
tanning twenty pounds of choice
candy and decorated with ribbons
representing the Spanish colors and an
American flag. Mayor Gilroy had
ordered it to be sent to the lntanta
Eulalia on board the steamship to con-
sole her on her homeward passage.
The Princess and her suite occupy
eight cabins on the promenade deck
almost in the center OF the
ship. AS the Princess and her
suite drove on to the dock the
band belonging to La Touraine played
the national air Of Spain and other
pieces supposed to particularly please
Her Royal Highness. With the royal
party are Pedro iowa and Mr.. De
Bustamante, secretaries to the Duke and
Princess. There are also two maids
and seven servants. These latter are
booked in the second cabin.

THE TABLE.

when recently fair girl graduate was
done honor in the most tempting of
breakfasts we who were present at the
feast felt that even broiling temper
AZURE was abated and the ills of the
outer world were really if not quite for
gotten.
There We're - guests, who, together
with the hostess and her sweet daugh-
ter, made the number just 14-nOt too
many for one large round table, and yet
party large enough to admit of tete-a-
tetes if any were so minded. At half
past II the guests assembled in the de-
lightful reception room of the suburban
home. Not one of them remembered to
be warm.
The breakfast room was simple in the
extreme, but it had one large bay win
dow and commanded view that was
itself sufficient decoration. The table,
as 1 said before, was round. The young
woman in whose honor we were hidden
was dressed in pure, dainty white.
The feast itself was just what a
breakfast ought to be and included ice
cold fruit, dainty made dishes, tempting
ices and the like. But the decorations
and the favors, which were arranged by
the sweet girl herself, gave the distin-
gushing touch and separated this break
fast from dozens of its kind.

women's Riding Boots.

One would have to search far and wide
to find anything daintier than a pair of
English riding boots now on exhibition
in the window of a New York boot
maker. They have polish as rich and
lustrous as piece of antique Chippen-
dale furniture.
These boots have an ultra English in
step, neat toe, tapering heel, such as is
worn by Prussian cavalry riders, and a
stiff leg which reaches to within an inch
of the knee. A woman's boot is not as
high as a mans because of her position
in the saddle.
Riding boots are made on much the
same last, although the left boot receives
almost all the wear. When a spur is
used, it is attached to the heel of the left
boot. Women cannot use spurs on both
boots, so the more daring riders carry a
crop with spur inserted in the handle.
The lining may be ordinary drill cloth,
calfskin, silk or satin.

A Household Pest.

Ants are often troublesome at this sea-
son. Washing the shelves and floors of
closets with a strong solution of hot alum
water or sprinkling cayenne paper Law
ishly over their haunts will often keep
them away, but the latter precaution
cannot be taken where there are children.
If they have managed to get the best of
you and have forced their small but I'M
welcome selves into your larder, sprinkle
powdered sugar through q sponge and
leave it where they can get at it, if pos
sible just outside of the closet where
their presence is so undesirable. In a
short time they will be holding high
carnival and will have invited their sis
tiers and their cousins and their aunts enc

drop it in. Repeat with dry sponge
and in a short time You will be rid OF

With n Little Care Their Original Flavor
Can BE Preserved.
To can raspberries in their own juice
set aside about 8 quarts of berries for
juice to 8 quarts for preserving whole.
Put the quarts in stone jar and set
it in boiling water, the water reaching
up outside as far as the berries are in
side the jar. Let them boil in this posi-
ton for about 90 minutes, then wash
them and strain out the juice. Measure
the juice, and to every pint add pound
of the best granulated sugar.
Weigh the berries which are to be pre-
served and set them aside in acool place,
for they will not be needed till later.
Add also to the juice half the weight of
these berries in sugar. Make strip of
the juice and sugar, cooking it for few
moments to thoroughly dissolve the
sugar, then strain it and set it away to
cool. When the strip is thoroughly cold,
put in glass cans the raspberries which
were set aside, filling the can as full as
possible without crushing the fruit. Fill
each can to the brim with the cold sirup
Put the covers on the can without the
rubbers.
Pack the cans in large boiler, sepa-
rating them from each other by towels
or wisps of hay and letting them rest
on wooden rack made for the pur-
pose and fitting in the bottom of the
boiler. They would certainly crack if
the glass jars were set on the bottom.
Fill the boiler with cold water up to the
neck of the jars and let it gradually
come to the boiling point. The moment
the water comes to the boiling point
watch the berries. They need to cook
but short time longer. When they
have risen, as they all will, to the top.
they are done. Put on the rubbers and
screw them down tight.
The quantity of sugar may seem very
large, but it really is not. 1t is only a
little over half a pound to a pound of
fruit. A variety is given by adding a
third part of currant juice to twothirds
raspberry juice. These raspberries are
delicious for the table and make excel
lent pies. The wild red raspberry is
also excellent prepared in this way.
