Menu Cards.

A very pretty menu card Is written on
frosted cardboard, the kind which imi-
tates the tracery on a window pane.
The ornamental lettering is in crystal,
surrounded by a frost wreath. Metallic
ink, carmine or greenish blue gives the
best effect.
The napkin ring menu consists of a
long strip Of the finest cardboard. with
bevelled edges done in gilt. 1t Is per-
forated with holes at each end and
laced shut with ribbon. The menu is
written on this and the whole forms a
charming little souvenir.
A Summer spent in the Maine woods
or in the -Adirondacks will furnish ma
terial for countless of these novelties
In the shape of birch bark. which may
be made up like rolls Of parchment with
the menu lettered on and tied with a
ribbon. like the napkin rings or like
tiny canoes with miniature sails of
white satin, on which the menu is let
tered with India ink in very fine script.

English Royal Cooks.

A queer custom which prevails at no
other court than that of Great Britain,
Is the announcement at the beginning of
each course Of dinner of the name of the
cook who has prepared the dishes served.
The announcement is made by one of
the clerks Of the kitchen. The origin of
this custom dates back to the reign of
King George H., who made a great IA
vorite of one of his marmitons. pro-
noting him to the rank of chief cook,
over the heads of all his seniors This,
Of course. created great jealousy, and
every effort was made to GUST him from
royal favor by rendering him RESPONSE
BILE for the failures which were laid upon
the Kings table. Greatly incensed there
by. and fearing to lose his post, he COM
planned to the King in person, who i'm
mediately gave orders that, henceforth
whenever a dish was placed before hin,
the name of the cook responsible for Its
success or failure should be announced
in an audible tone.

Three Are From Portland and the Re
mainder From Other Parts of the State
They Had No United States License.
Secretary McKeen of the State
Board of Agriculture, has oeen
instrumental within a recent period OF
securing evidence against thirteen Dealers
that they were selling oleomargarIne with
out United States license. OF these Three
are in Portland, three in Randolph, nve IN
Lewiston, one in Brunswick and one In Au-
gusta. samples of the good were purchased
from them by an agent, the price PAID being
twenty two and twenty-Ihree cents per
pound, and these were analyzed at promo.
OF fifteen samples taken and analSzed all
but two were found to be butterlne. AT Two
stores, ten pounds was purchased at each,
and as they had no license they will be
liable to fine of not less than $500, or more
than $1,000. In the remaining instances the
oleomargarine was bought at retail and the
violaters will be subject to fine of not less
than $50 or more than $500.
One dealer was found who had ordered
one thousand ten pound tubs of oleomarga-
rine. which was branded with description
of their contents. He also ordered as many
more empty ten pound butter tubs into
which the butterine was to be transferred
and presumably sold as true butter. Mr..
McKeen and Hon. A. NJ. Spear of Gardiner,
will go to Portland Tuesday, where action
will be brought up in the United States
court against the dealers who violated the
laws
