RELIABLE RECIPES.

CoRNED BEEF HASH. One pint of
cold corned beef, chopped fine, pint of
cold boiled potatoes added and chopped,
season with little salt, but not as much
as though the beef were not already
salted; mix and add a little beef stock if
you have it, to moisten it, put an even
spoonful of butter in stewpan, when hot,
put in the hash, put half spoonful of
butter on top and few spoonfuls of hot
water, if you have no stock; cover and
set on top of the range, where it will
cook slowly and brown on the bottom;
watch closely and loosen from the bot
tom with knife; serve hot
SOME EXCELLENT VEAL DISHES. The
great value OF veal to the cook is not as
piece dc resistance. like beef and mutton
or even lamb, but as the foundation of
many dainty small dishes. 1t is neces-
sity to the first-class cook in making
stocks, both white and brown for sauces
of all kinds. The poorest parts of veal
may be utilized in some delicate dish.
The brains, the liver, the sweetbreads
and even the tendons of veal are
esteemed delcacies. The meat of the
leg, which in full-grown beef is the com
paratively tough round, is the fillet of
veal-one of the daintiest parts.
In the last score of years we have
learned the value of sweetbreads in
this country, and they are no longer
thrown away, as they once were. But
there are many other small pieces of veal
which make very appetizing dishes Gf
properly prepared at very small price,
and there merits are yet comparatively
unknown to the average housekeeper.
OF these, the breast of veal is perhaps
the best known, yet it is very little used.
Every part of it, except the fat and hard
bones, may be made into appetizing food
For breakfast, the breast may be boned,
trimmed free from fat and cut in
small squares of about two inches.
These squares should be simmered in
stock slowly until they are so thoroughly
tender that they may be easily pierced in
all parts with a larding needle. They
should then be pressed and should
remain in press for eight or ten
hours-so that it is necessary to make
the stew the day before it is
to be served In the morning
skim off any grease that may have risen
to the top of the stew. Take the pieces
out of press and heat up the liquid in the
saucepan Thicker it with IA teaspoonfuI
each of -four and butter mixed, taste it
to see that it is well seasoned, and let it
simmer again for ten minutes Replace
the veal in it and let it warm up when
thoroughly heated, dish the pieces in a
circle and pour the gravy over them.
Six mushrooms added to the gravy when
t is warmed up gives a pleasant flavor.
If you wish very ornamental dish, place
a mound of green peas, or a mound of
well-browned potatoes in the centre of
the platter, and arrange the pieces of
veal around it. These "tendons" are
perfectly tender if properly stewed and
pressed the day before. They are gela-
tinous and melting, full Of succulence
and flavor. They are very nice dipped
in egg and fine breadcrumbs and fried and
served with tomato sauce.

STRANGE CAUSE FOR DEAFNESS. Sir
William Daily, consulting aural surgeon
to st. Georges Hospital, London, has
been noting down some strange Incl
dents in practice"-t that is to say, certain
cases within his own experience as a med
ical practitioner-which he confesses
himself unable to account for by any
course of cause and effect with which the
profession can be said to be at all accu-
ratel familiar The most curious have
reference to the effects of emotion on the
various senses, says the Daily Ne,0S. One
is that of a lady who was standing before
her toilette table and looking through an
open door into her husbands dressing
room, when she saw in a mirror the re-
Election of her husband in the act of cut
ting his throat. From that moment she
was absolutely deaf A similarly sudden
and complete loss of hearing happened
some years later to a young married
y who was suddenly brought face to
face with her dead husband at a
time when she believed him to be
quite well and when she was going to
meet him after long absence. On var
ious occasions Sir William Daily ha
noted the remarkable effects produced
upon the hearing by emotional influences
not only by great mental shocks, but by
great mental strain. He has known not
only sudden grief, but also overwhelm-
ing joy, instantly to make person quite
deaf. Sir William Daily has known the
sense of smell to be lost by very strong
emotional influence, and with this the
sense of taste. 4 remarkable instance
Of loss of faculty is that of brother
physician, who in boyhood found himself
suddenly deprived of the power of
speech. He was a man of middle age
and robust appearance. His hearing
was perfect and he could understand all
that was said, but his replies were always
communicated by pencil and paper.
One day this physician announced that
the power of speech had returned as
suddenly as it had originally left him.
He added that he was entirely unable to
ascribe the recovery to any cause, and
Sir William Daily confcsses that his ex-
perience does not enable him to offer any
explanation.

PRESENTATION OLE RINGS.

Don't wear your rings under gloves
unless you remember to have them
thoroughly examined twice year" is
the advice given by iewellcr The
constant friction wears out the tiny gold
points that hold the stones in place, and
unless strict attention is paid to them
they become loose in very short time.
Small purses of suede leather are made
on purpose for rings, or any soft pouch
of skin or chamois may be used to place
the rings in when desiring to carry them
around with one
They should never be put into the
ordinary pocketbook, rs the rubbing
against COINS is also bad for them. Dia-
monds can be cleaned at home to look rs
well as when done by jewellcr, il only
a little trouble is taken. They should
be thoroughly cleaned in alcohol and
then dried in lockwood sawduSt Pine
sawdust is too oily for this purpose. -

FASHION NOTES.


There is nothing distinctively new in
hosiery.
A jaunty little turban of the Russian
type is trimmed with fur
The new chcviots have shot grounds,
with large fancy dots in silk bourette.
The old fashioned silver card-ca of
our gandmothers are coming in again.
A plain silk stocking to match the
dress and dainty satin slippers is generally
used with evening dress.
Some of the new stockings for spring
are embroidered with tiny bowknots
scattered over the instep.
Among the new, very soft and beauti-
full spring woolens are those damassed
with small iiower-sprays in colored silks.
A long, slender bronze pin for the hair
is surmounted by bronze bird, having
jeweled eyes and wings fecked with
gold
All bonnets now are worn far enough
back to leave the front hair exposed, and
require facing of velvet and usually a
face trimming.
One very attractive necklet for even
ing wear consists of slender gold chain,
from which depend miniature hearts
composed of olivines.
The fancy for the dainty little lace
pins, which girl happily called the
'bonbons of the toilet" does not fade
with their long use.
There are many storm serges which
are now manufactured in this country
and imported in all colors and in figured
and checked effects.
Shaded and two-toned effects are
noteworthy features of woolens, which
give something of the coloring of Russian
velours without its raised surface.
Mademoisele may now add to her
chatelaine bridesmaids souvenir in the
shape Of a pink enamel glove fastener
set at intervals with turquoise and pink
topaz.
The new woolens for plain tailor
gowns, are the rough rabbit haircloths,
which are noteworthy for their soft,
silken-like texture, and long .hared,
rough-looking surface.
There arc Il great many taller woolens
in diagonal whipcord weave, In some OF
which the raised cords are as large as

APRONS FOR CHILDREN.

A sensible mother who fiji Is it neces-
sary to limit her laundry list, and to de
lay the wearing out of garments as long
as possible, makes both her little sons
and daughters wear high-necked aprons
when playing in the house. The sleeves
of jackets and seats of trousers are saved
much wear, and her children paint, use
ink, model in clay and do various other
delightful but spot-provoking things
without restraint. Concession is made
to the small boys desire to look manly
by making his aprons with sailor collar
and with yoke laid in three box plaits.
The aprons arc of blue and white checked
bingham, made with enough fullness to
prevent their hanging like strait jackets,
and may be worn with leather belt.
The little boy who wears these aprons is
by no means a home-spun-looking child,
FOR beneath the apron when play is over,
is found a natty suit of blue serge in
vinter and of white duck in summer.
III the days are very warm, the apron
only may be worn, st. Louis Republic.

MRS. oLEvELAND's PATCHWORK QUILT.

During her former residence in Wash
ington Mrs Cleveland was especially in
terested in fitting up a colonial room at
Oak View, her country home, and to
secure the desired furniture for this she
corresponded with innumcrable owners
of antiques in various parts of Virginia
and the South. The patchwork quilt
used on the carved tester bedstead was
sent to her for that purpose from Omaha,
Neb., by Grandma Reeves, an octoge-
marian. The quilt is an unusually pretty
one and highly priced by Mrs. Cleveland
because of the great age of the old lady
who sent her such a fine piece of old
fashioned handiwogk. - Chicago Herald.

FASHIONS NOT MADE FOR THE OLD.

Elderly women often complain, with
considerable amount of justice, that
the fashions seem to be intended only
for the young, and that those women
who have passed forty are left more or
less to their own devices. Few fashion
papers contain any designs or suggcs-
tions for the attire of women of middle
age, and a newspaper devoted to this
object would doubtless be regarded as a
boon by all those many women who are
sensible enough to bear their years be-
comingly and gracefully. Detroit Trib-

with helpless little ones has been haunted
by the thought of their future, even
though she were able to cope with their
present wants. Many woman on whom
depends an invalid brother or sister
would feel much happier if she knew
that she could by life insurance secure
those helpless ones from the bitterness
of poverty which her death would plunge
them into if such precaution had not
been taken.
1t is step in the right direction and
should have been taken long ago, for
women have been proven to be as long

takes risks on their lives is doing some

when they so gladly rush in and insure

BRITISH woMEx's woRLD'sFArR EXHIBITS

bkAi lSi NOMEN WORLD FAIR EXHIBITS.
English women are busying themselves
preparing exhibits for the worlds fair
which are certain to be greatly admired
by visitors to Chicago, writes the Lon
don correspondent of the New York
Sun. The women's handicrafts exhibits
for the Chicago exhibition include low
corner chair in oak, carved by the Prin-
cess of Wales, and covered with leather
embossed by her own clever hands.
Princesses Victoria and Maud also sent
a large stool apiece, carved by themselves
and covered with leather of their own
enclosing. These are to be sold for
charity, and the ladies' committee have
put on them a price of $500 apiece.
There are some very interesting exhibits.
A wonderfully carved walnut wood
bureau is the work of Lady Tankerville,
and also a very fine screen with painted
panels, copied from one in the Tuilleries,
and fan with ivory sticks, exquisitely
carved. The lady must be marvelously
versatile. Miss L. Barr is sending a
sideboard deliberately carved from wood
that is 800 years old. The ladies' work
ing guild in the Brompton road has some
very fine specimens of burnt-wood work,
a bureau being especially clever, so much
so that it will certainly be taken for
marqueterie The Hon. Mrs. Rowley's
contribution is beautiful pair of silver
sconces in repousse work. There are
some fine specimens of brass Eepousse by
other workers. Miss Barbara Hanley
sends case of delicately painted minia-
lures, some of them copies of old masters,
and others original portraits. Nails,
bolts, nuts and anvils, the work of
woman blacksmith, are going to Chicago.
The Hon. Sybil Amherst sends pair of
brown leather boots made entirely by
herself. This is an unusual accomplish
ment for a young lady. Some of the
Shetland wool work in the Scottish sec
ton is of the most airy lightness and
delicacy A most lovely screen is painted
in flowers on white China silk The re-
fined loneliness of this screen is beyond
description, so soft and dreamy are the
tints of the flowers. 1t is the work of a
Scotch lady. After examining it, the
sight of some tartan stockings made by
the women of Argyll was quite startling.

The Scarcity
Of Salmon.

In conversation yesterday with a gen
tleman largely interested in the salmon
packing business, on the subject Of the
canning situation, reporter of The
Astor1an asked the question do you
simply consider this an off year for fish,
or do you think the supply is dlnin
ishing steadlly?"
"Well," said the gentleman, ''the
views Of Gamers vary, Some are dia
metrically opposed to others in their
ideas as to the cause of the present
scarcity, The failure of the usual big
July run to materialize has rather in
clined some to the belief that the bus
mess at the hatcheries has not been
conducted on a sufficiently extensive
Scale, and that the supply is materially
diminishing, Then, again, there are
Others who express themselves as Ger
tain that this is simply an off year and
that the pack of 1894 will be up to the
usual standard In my opinion no one
can say with certainty what the cause
of the scarcity is; we can only indulge
in speculation and hope for the best,
Here is letter which have just
received from San Francisco CORES
pondent who has long been interested
in the canning business, in which the
opinion is ventured that unless radical
changes are made n-&ne present fishing

bia will become exhausted in course cf
time. While there will, doubtless, be
many who will not agree with my cc-
respondent in his views, the following
will be read with interest, and ehall
be glad to give it to re As.n'ian for
publication. The gentleman says:
't'We can only draw one conclusion
from the small pack Of the Columbia
this season, and that is, that the river
is fished out, and that fish wheels, traps
and seines must be prohibited In future
If the salmon canning industry is TO lie

adopt similar laws to those enforced
in British Columbia, salmon in The Co
lumbia would rapidly Increase in mum
bers. have repeatedly said since last
fall that believed the pack of the
Frazer river would exceed that Of the
Columbia for 1893: still believe it,
and believe. the same will be tie case
in 1894. Traps, seines and wheels
should be abolished in rivers. as they
