Care of the Wardrobe.


It is an accepted fact among women,
founded upon good reason, that when
ones belongings are valuable and cost
ly the services of maid are not lux
ury, but a necessity, and really an
economy Delicate fabrics need great
care in handling and preserving, and
fine boots, shoes, gloves and hantlker-
chiefs are not to be tossed about care
lessly and still preserve their freshness
But, without maid and with q COM
paratively simple wardrobe, a need of
care even will be found a great protec-
ton. The PittSburg Dispatch says that
IN putting away summer wash dresses
they must be rough dried, then folded
neatly and packed in a box or trunk by
themselves. 1t is an excellent idea to
go over each one and take the few
mending stitches that are sure to be
needed. Challies, crepons and summer
silks should be carefully shaken and
brushed, spots sponged. bows of ribbon
taken Off and unlnade if possible, OF the
dust carefully wiped off with a bit Of
silk dipped in weak ammonia water.
and packed away in separate boxes.
Inc same rule applies where laces trim
the dresses. If these are washable they
should be. washed, otherwise shaken
and wound around a bottle or wooden
roll 1t is a good plan to let the dresses
hang wrong side out in. the air, all of a
sunny molning-if you live in a hotel
to hang in a hot room the same length
of time is 4 good substitute. Runplcd
ruches, shields and bent bones should
be taken from waists, and a skilled
maid says. the waist Innings should be
brushed down every seam with cologne
and water. Feathers and flowers should
be taken from the hats and bonnets,
wrapped carefully and separately i'll
tissue paper, and consigned to boxes
where they will not he crushed. The
flowers should have each leaf pulled
out, and It brcathed on before using
again will be found fresh as ever. Par
asois ought to be rolled. but have a
loose slip cover put en- after they arc
carefully wiped, or. if .s;a,1ze, fiirted free
OF Gust with 4 silk h;thdke rchief, and
then stood IN some safe place and occa-
slon ';,1l opened to alter the folds.

Beautiful China.


A full set of silver plate used to he
considered the height of luxury in the
way of table service, but in these days
of exquisite china, when it is an easy
matter to spend $1,000 for a dozen
porcelain plates, silver in this form is
releGatcd to an inferior place, and, like
the heavy cid fcur-post bedstead, be-
comes attractive only when it is an
heirloom. However, the collecting of
beautiful china is not entirely a modern
fashion. That extravagant lady, Cattle
rine the Great of Russia, not content
ed with her massive service of gold,
had made in France for the imperial
table several dozen plates painted by
distinguished artists Of the time, for
which she paid about 1900 rubles q
plate. French works of art were made
to the duty of dinner plates, upon which
was served plenty Of Tartar sauce

send her regular bulletins of the pro-

betrayed some uneastness as to the out

woman insisted upon knowing whether
her lover was receiving the care and
attention he should, and furthermore
said that if he was in need Of particu-

have the marriage ceremony performed

rightfully take her place at his bedside.

Mr.. Crisp's illness, and it might almost
be said of his life. Hitherto the dis

She Saved the License.

One should not be too confident and
p~recipitate in affairs of the heart. James
Mccarthy of Norfolk has learned this
bitter lesson. Friday he purchased Of
the town clerk a license to marry a GER
tain lovely widow on whom his favors
fell.
With the parchment in his vest pocket
he presented himself before the widow
and for the first time asked her to be his
cherished bride, and in the certainty of
her answer he showed her the precious
license. The proposal vas % sudden
and the swain so sure that the widow
was nettled and refused him with con-
siderable emphasis.
Mr.. Mccarthy was dazed for a mo-
ment, and then realizing his discount
ture he dashed the license to the floor,
danced a breakdown ON it and left the
house. The next day, says the local
chronicler, the economical widow took
the license back to the town. clerk and
requested him to hold it until the right
man wanted her.-Buffalo Courier.

There has just betn completed by
Messrs.. Messuri. the well known boa.
builders of Richmond, to the order Of the
Nizam Of Hyderabad, q pleasure boat
peculiar In shape and for it's sire cx-
ceedingly costly in construction. Two
boats of the size of a large skiff have
been joined side by side by q deck, upon
the extremities of which rise q number
of finely carved pillars supporting a pa
CODA shaped roof. The whole Of the
woodwork is of teak, a wood which is
not warped by heat. As an instance OF
the great expenditure of labor upon the
boat, which is only % feet long by IA
feet wide. it may be stated that the tiles
of the roof are composed of some 5000
small pieces of teak, most of which hare
had to be specially cut.
There are no windows, but all four
sides of the barge viii be hung with pure
silk of the richest quality, while the deck
will be cushioned in the same costly way
to a height of sorle feet. The barge will
be propelled by two feathered paddles
placed between the bows and sterns OF
the two supporting boats and turned BY
handles after the manner of a small
canoe. The barge is intended for use on
q lake near to which the niEam has

A filter for removing grease, which
often passes into boilers with the feed
water, consists Of a metallic chamber or
filter box in which are a series Of gratings,
and between these gratings are placed
layers of wire gauze and flannel Of q spe-
cial texture, which forms the fltering me
dunn. The feed water from the donkey
pump enters the filter box from one side,
passes upward through the filter cloths
and thence out to the boiler, the scum
passing away through another outlet.
By this means it is found that all grease
and greasy matter, as well as other i'm
purities, are arrested by the filter cloths,
which can be readily taken out for clean
ing OF renewal. The filter is equally ap-
plicable to land and marine boilers

The funniest street sign that even
hung over q New York door is that Of a
barber on Hudson street near where the
city's thoroughfares get tangled mp In
such confusion at Abingdon square.
The wne Of the shop is a darby and Ii
very fond of big words. So when he
had his sign painted he had it made to
read. "Tonsorial Parlor." instead of just
plain Barber Shop" This sign hung
for nearly a year. Then some wag
probably told him that there was q
more elegant wording which might
draw custom to his shop. Within a
week a new sign, respondent in red,
white and blue, hung out proclaiming
that a ''Tonsorial Abattoir" might be
found within. It is not known whether
the shop Is more literally patronized
under its new designation as a hair
dressing butcher snop or not. but GER
tainly the darby is very happy over the
length and impressive appearance of the
new word on his sign.-New York

No More ..Lasniappe" In New Orleans.

~ ~"
"Lagniappe' will be more honored in
the breach than in the observance among
tradesmen of New Orleans in future.
This is the name of the gratuity which
the creoles were wont to- give to Gus
toners. the recipients being chiefly chill
dren and colored people. 1t took the
form usually of confectionery, pastry or
nuts. The practice is a relic of the old
Spanish domination in Louisiana. The
word ''lagniappe' is a Transformation Of
the Spanish phrase ia nappa," which
means a gratuity, a sweetener, to make
q purchaser pleased with his bargain.
This custom it seems has lever OBJ
tanned outside of the second and third
districts Of the city, and 'tlagniappe'
was SO prescriptively grounded that it
came to be regarded as a right to which
the people We're legally entitled, In an
age of sharp and sordid competition,
however, the tradesmen find the gratuity
too much of a tax on their profits. Afew
days ago the Retail Grocers' association
of the second and third districts adopted
q resolution doing away with the pic,
turesque usage.-New York Post.

ivory billiard Balls Stained with Blood.
The globe Of ivory which Is knocked
about a table in game OF billiards costs,
If or good quality. at least $40 This rep
resents its cost in money. There 10,
however, a far more important and for
midable element in the price which has
been paid for it. The billiard ball Of
pure ivory represents as it lies white
and g~listening upon the cloth an expend-
iture of human likelihood as wen as of
money.
Elephants tusks are brought down to
che African coasts by general
ly in charge of Arabs, which have been
trading in the interior. Very often they
have picked up slaves as well as ivory.
But this phase of the matter may be left
out of the account.
1t is estimated that every large caravan
bringing ivory to the coast has cost more
than 100 human lives through fights and
murders in the course of the expedition.
Thirty more men are likely to have sue
cumbed to fevers or other diseases and
the fatigues of the march.
The hunting Of the elephants and the
capture of the ivory are very likely tc
have caused the death of 10 men alto
gether. Such casualties are the rule
in elephant hunting rather than the ex
ception.
An average tusk does not furnish more
than enough material for two good bill
Hard balls. OF course the remainder Of
the ivory in each tusk is made use of in
other ways. A perfectly cut billiard bal
requires special quality or 30 called
nerve" which is found onlyin n par
of the tusk.
The chances are that q billiard ball Of
the first quality has cost at least n hu
man life, and there is not one such bal
which may not truly be said to b.
stained with human blood. They car
/ hardly be considered, therefore, a cheer
full accompaniment to a sensitive per

The Australian Kea.

The Australian kea has been written
about considerably, and . writer in The
Cornhill Magazine ascribes to them an
intelligence which can be called nothing
but devilish. He says the kea was once
. harmless bird, but with the introduc-
ton Of slaughter houses it has developed
q taste for animal food, and especially
for kidneys. They like the kidneys OF
dead sheep so well that when these failed
they proceeded to eat ont the kidneys OF
living sheep, leaving the poor beasts to
die q most agonizing death.
