II you want to know how many years
will elapse before you may expect to be
married, balance your spoon on the edge OF
your cup, first noting that it Is perfectly
dry. Fill another spoon partly with tea,
and holding it above the balanced spoon
let the drops Of the tea gather to the tip of
the spoon and gently fall into the bowl of

When toast is made, three or four thin
slices of bread must be cut the whole
length of the loaf and placed one over the
other. This done they must all be cut in
half by one sweep of the knife. If this is
done by young woman, and the slices are
not severed clean through to the plate, she
will not be married within the year. If the
bread parts in two even heaps, she might as
well order her trousseau. On no account
must she take the lest piece of toast or
bread on the plate unless she wishes to be

The Wise Men of Gntham.

This the tale, not of the three who "went
to sea in BOWL" but of the inhabitants of
the village Of Gotham in England. As
King John was once passing through that
place on his way to Nottingham, he pro-
posed to make short cut across the mead
ows. The villagers, thinking that what
ever road king took thenceforward be-
came a public road, objected, much to
Johns annoyance. Shortly afterward he
sent some messengers from his court to
learn the cause of the villagers rudeness.
Hearing Of the coming OF the kings serv-
ants the villagers hit upon the following
plan Of turning aside the monarch's wrath:
When the messengers arrived, they found
some Of the inhabitants engaged in trying
to drown an eel in pond, others were busy
rolling cheeses down a hill, so that they
might run to Nottingham for sale, while
third set were employed in placing hedge
round bush on which cuckoo had
perched, In order that they might enjoy
perpetual spring. The kings servants
thought they had come among a village
of fools, and having reported what they
had seen John formed the same opinion,
and troubled himself no more about what
he considered their incivility to him. Hence
people have talked about the 'wise men,"
or "the FOOLS" of Gotham. There was
much wisdom in their folly, however.

provided the handkerchief is laid evenly,
will meet, and 1t is these tapping bits
that you are to catch together with
needle and thread. Sevenpoints from
each corner will be enough. This will
leave several scallops ateach end free.
Now take the quarter of yard of china
silk reserved for the pad, and having pre-.
viously cut cheesecloth cover, in which
has been placed cotton batting and powder,
draw the silken case over it. IL is well to
sew up the piece of silk on the wrong side,
leaving one end open, so that when turned
the pad may be easily inserted. This pad,
having been previously measured to fit the
bottom Of the ready stitched kerchief, may
be slipped within, thus providing tinted
background for the white cover. When
once the pad is inside, turn back and press
down the four unconfned corners. Next
perch between each turned down portion

cents for silk, 20 cents for ribbon and 10
esnts for sachet powder.

Celery on Toast.

In preparing celery for the table much Of
the fresh, tender, green part is thrown
away. An exchange gives recipe for max
ing most appetizing dish with it. Wash
these waste portions and cue in piecesabout
three-fourths of an inch long and put it in
a saucepan with little water to boil, let
ting it simmer for an hour and half or
two hours, adding pinch of salt. Let the
water boil nearly out, then add little
cream, a small piece of butter and little
-four or cornstarch wet with water. The
cornstarch is much more delicate although
some people seem to prefer -four. When
done this should be like a thick batter.
Slices of toast may be prepared and the hot
celery put upon them, large spoonful to a
slice. A tiny bit of butter and the least
possible dash of pepper may be added; then
send to the table and serve Immediately.

The Fabian Policy.

The policy of wearing out the enemy in
war by delays, misleading movements,
feints Of attack, etc, while avoiding open
battle, is called the Fabian policy" from
the following circumstance: Fabius Max
linus was a Roman general in the second
Punic war. Having been appointed just
after the Roman army had suffered severe
defeat at Lake Thrasymene, he perceived
that his disheartened troops and bands Of
raw recruits could not oppose successfully
q trained army flushed with victory and led
by their great commander, Hannibal. He
therefore avoided pitched battles, moved
his camp from highland to highland, and
tired out the enemy with marches and
coHntermarches This he continued until
thwarted in his calculations by the impa-
tience Of the Roman senate.

SOME NEW poILIes.
Pretty Examples OF One Of the Daintiest
Features OF the Tea Table.

Pretty Examples OF One of the Daintiest
Features Of the Tea Table.
Many attractive novelties appear in dain-
ty napery for the coming season, and pretty
designs and arrangements are specially no
ticeable in tea cloths, doilies, sideboard
cloths, etc. Among new tea cloths is one
Of white linen. embroidered at the corners
IN white and pale blue flax. The design con-
sists of sprays of white clematis. The tea
dolly is hemstitched and has the initial of
the owner embroidered on one corner. An
other tea cloth is of cornfower blue linen,
on which graceful design Of daisies, grass
and dragon flies is carried out in white fax.
The effect is excellent.
Tea cloths aud doilies Of brilliant coloring
are quite popular, as, for example, n yellow
tea cloth, with border of nasturtiums in
cut or Roman embroidery, carried out in
shades of apricot, pink and green. The
graceful leaf edgei is buttonholed, and the
doilies match. The combination Of colors
Is artistic and delicate.
In simpler style is an attractive tea cloth
Of white linen, witha border of geranium
pink lawn; sprays of white chrysanthe-
NUNS tied with pink ribbon are embroi-
dered in the corners, The same design is
also worked most effectively in white and
blue oD a prettily hemstitched cover Of
white fancy damask.
Among the more elaborate tea cloths is
'The Poppy" worked on rose pink linen,
with hemstitched border, the design being
poppies interviewer with ribbon, carried
out in various shades of rose pink and dull
green fax. The doilies that are used with
this cover are in the form of a large, open
poppy, handsomely embroidered to match.
One more cloth, also elaborate, has cen
ter Of ivory silk brocade, edged with deep,
handsome border Of plain silk to match.
Peeping out from the border are punches Of
trailing California clematis, embroidered in
pale yellow, green and orange silks. The
effect is most novel.

bride. However, a Marie Antoinette flchu
made entirely of Grape lisse, which has an
indescribable softness of drapery, becomes
the average bride much better than the
more costly garniture. Just here it should
be added that no bride who knows what is
truly becoming ever sacrifices beauty to
pride of purse by exchanging a tulle veil
for one Of lace, priceless though the latter
may be.
The shaping of the wedding gown in
cludes round waists, circular basques and
the princess gown, spreading out to about
six yards width at the bottom of the skirt.
This enables each Llide to select style
suitable to herself.
While the maid of honor usually wears q
white gown, the bridesmaids often choose
delicate shades of old rose, yellow and
green. All these gowns are made short,
just touching, and the bouquet must har.
monize or contrast with the chosen color.
Accordion pleated rufiles of Grape lisse fig
ure upon the satin gowns of brides, and
this form of trimming is fashionable on
chiffon skirts worn with satin waists by
bridesmaids.
Crepon provides an economical material
for bridesmaids' gowns, and the Valkyrie
skirt of three founces furnishes favorite
model

The Popular and Effective Trimming.

Braid is the prime trimming = braid
straight or wavy, woven more or less fanci
fully, wide and small combined, fantastic.
ally arranged as embroidery, braid of every
conceivable kind-in short, black, white or
colored. The new jackets are braided in
straight lines or stripes on sleeves and
plastron. The new cloth skirts are braided
in either horizontal lines or groups of ver-
tical lines to the knee. OF course shaded
braids are to be used, and large amount
of shaded metal braids or gallons, made of
tinsel or silk and tinsel combined. Some
splendid effects are obtained in the shaded
metal gallons. They are sometimes beauti-
fully worked up with silk, or are combined
with jet or enameled plates. Many shaded
gilt and silver gallons are worked up with
jet. The jet passementeries are exceed
lngly handsome, but they are prepared
more to represent fanciful braids or rich
guipures than the scroll embroideries to
which we are accustomed.

Clntnre.

Cloture is the parliamentary closing of a
debate in order to secure vote upon bill
before legislative assembly. An exchange
explains that it is French measure-the
word is also French-and it was introduced
Into the house Of commons in 1882. 1t is
similar in result to the previous question" /"
The Anglicized form of the word is "clo-

toor. The English pronunciation is klo-tur,
according to Webster, the having the
sound of u in "bull."

THE MOON DURING AN ECLIPSE.

vessel caused the image of the moon to
move in an irregular path over the surface
of the sensitive plate, producing the result
shown in the engraving
1t has been suggested that by method
similar to this the movements Of vessel can
be accurately and permanently registered,
end in certain cases might be of value in
determining their extent and direction in
the case of new vessels or during storms OF
unusual violence. The sharp line of de
markation between the sea and sky in this
picture is due to the phosphorescent illu-
mination Of the water, which was very
brilliant at the time the photograph was
taken.
