SHE TURNED THE TABLES.
How Little Homely Knowledge Saved
 Young Lady Much Discomfort,

How n Little Homely Knowledge Saved a
 Young Lady Much Discomfort.
 A young lady through her knowledge of housewifery rather turned the tables upon would be jester one day and let that individual, who was of the male persuasion, into a little secret of con- siderable importance to those who have occasion to work ill the kitchen as ama- teurs
 The two were members of party wis iting an Adirondack camp in the Sara mac lake region. Every one was well acquainted, and the days passed merrily away until heavy rainstorm drove the ladies and the less enthusiastic fish ermen indoors and compelled them to seek other forms of amusement. The rain continued to fall almost without intermission for several days, and as a means to relieve the monotony the gen tleman already referred to proposed that the various members of the party try their hand at cooking the next meal.
 Permission was obtained from the host, the members of the party laughingly agreed to the proposition, and the guide, whose duty it was to act as cook, was for
  gentleman acted as chef, ard with a knowledge obtained from serving on the house committee of prominent New York club proceeded to assign various work to his aids and appointed the young lady first vegetable cook for the express purpose of making her peel onions, the odor of which she loathed.
 When the party adjourned to the kitch- en to begin preparations, a large supply of strong odored red onions was brought to the lady, and she was requested to remove the outer cuticle. The acting chef and the others who had been let into the secret made merry over the supposed discomfi- ture of the first vegetable cook, but the lat ter smiled sweetly and uttered no protest.
 Bring me deep pan, ," she said to her helper, and when this was produced she filled it to the brim with water. Then she tucked up her sleeves to the elbow, showing just the prettiest pair of arms ill the world, and removing her rings set to work peeling the onions under water with deftness that showed how famil- far she was with the work and depriv- ing it of all it's offensiveness.
 It was revelation to the man, who had looksd either for vigorous protest, or had expected to see the eyes of the vegetable cook water from the effects of the onion juice. The amateur dinner was in every way success, but none of the cooks achieved a greater triumph than the one whose practical experience showed to the others the common sense method of peeling onions.-New York Herald.

A LITTLE while ago all the naval critics ID England were writing to the newspapers to prove how much better naval matters were managed in France, and now NJ. Georges Cochery. one of the French dele gates appointed recently to investigate English naval establishments, is returning the compliment by declaring that France has almost everything to learn from the British system of administration. In a re port which he has published he expresses much admiration of the manner in which British war~hips are built and the rapidity of the work which will produce a 15.000 ton cruiser Tn three years. whereas the French require five ears to build one of 10000. He says that the number of work men in the English arsenals is smaller 19. 2uO. as against 21 GOO in the French service-and yet the former produce con- siderably more. A great advantage on the English side is the perfect administration, which accomplishes work without the in- reference of numerous officials The book-k keeping Is extremely simple, and en- ableS the officials to render an account each week of the exact expense incurred for each vessel under construction. The English method of organization and the general service are more practical than in France

Arranging the Hair.

It is worth while for every woman to consider whether she arranges her hair in the most becoming way. If you have n low forehead and wide face, do not wear bang. Contrawise, if your face is long and thin and tho forehead high, do not assume pompadour roll or an outstanding knot just at that point of your head that makes the line to the chin abnormally long and yourself q caricature of what you might be. The "teacup handle" knot has become too generally worn, because but one woman in 20 really locks well with her hair arranged in this manner.
