Mounting a Camel.

To mount camel for the first time
is for Howadji, until he gets the
hang of it, complicated and anxious
process. The first risk is that the
animal will rise while the rider is
climbing into the saddle. This he
will inevitably do if the attendant
has forgotten to place his foot on the
camel's knee.
The novice having settled in the
saddle, which is like a fat wooden
tea tray on the top of a hump, and
taken tight grip of the HORNS" of
which there is one in front and one
behind, waits in suspense, wondering
which end of the animal means to get
up first. The action, when it does
begin, is a violent seesaw in three
jerks, which impel him alternately
in the direction Of the head and tail
until, if he is lucky, he finds himself II
feet from the ground.-Nineteenth Cen

Bits OF Wedding Tradition.

Knives formerly formed part of the
accouterments Of bride. This is easily
accounted for by the fact that anciently
it formed part of the dress for women
to wear knife sheathed and suspended
from their girdles A bride says to her
jealous husband in Dekkers Match
Me In London" 1881:
See at my girdle hangs my wedding knives.
With those dispatch me.
The use of bridesmaids at weddings is
of remote antiquity. Among the Anglo
Saxons the bride was led to the church
by a matron, who was called the brides
woman, and followed by company of
young girls, who were called bride
maids. 1t was at one time the custom
for the bridesmaids to lead the brides
groom to church, and for the bride
groom's men to conduct the bride. This
is clearly alluded to in the "Colliers
Wedding"
Two lusty lads, well drest and strong,
Step'd out to lead the bride along,
And two young maids of equal size
As soon the bridegroom's hands surprise.
The bridegroom's men were anciently
called bride knights which was an APP
propriate name at the period when they
actually fulfilled that ofiice.-Philddel
phia Times.

Calling on Friends Guests.

OF course in inquiring for friend
who is staying with stranger to the
caller it is always proper to ask for
the hostess and quite inadmissible not
to do SO. But the said hostess should
have a little consideration, too, and
not intrude her society upon the
caller beyond the limits of mere po
likeness. 1t is egregiously selfish of
her to monopolize the call herself or
never to give the two friends an OPP
portunity for a tete-a-tete. And this
lack of delicacy on the part of one
entertaining visitor is one of the
commonest forms of thoughtlessness.

Dreamed Walnuts or Pecans.

Take one cupful of walnut or pecan
kernels and very carefully separate
from them every particle of shell. To
one scant cupful of sugar add one-third
of a cupful of water. Put on the fire,
and as soon as it begins to boil test it
by dropping it in water. AS soon as it
is sufficiently cooked to drop in soft
lump instead of spreading out and dis
solving, take it from the fire and allow
the candy to grow cool. Then add one
teaspoonful of vanilla and begin to stir
it. AS soon as the candy loses its
transparency and becomes milky look
ing, add the nut kernels and stir vigor-
ously until each kernel is coated with
the creamy sugar. If the nuts stick
together, pull them apart; but if the
candy is cooked to precisely the right
poins, they will separate of themselves.
These creamed nuts are delicious, and
are sometimes called "pralines. y

Brown Bread.

People use the white -four of com
merce because they are born into the
idea that it must be white to look
nice. There is no physiology which
bases the qualities of food upon a
white color. Color is a sentiment.
Food to be food must contain all the
elements of the tissues the body feeds
upon. 1t does not say the body must
be white. This preference for white
flour comes altogether from habit and
false education, for those who eat
bread and other food made from
whole wheat -four soon begin to love
it, and in short time experience a
natural craving for it which white
bread does not and cannot satisfy,
and the light brown color of the
bread, with its rich wheat flavor, is a
constant reminder that the life and
sustenance are not driven out of it,
while its satisfying and nourishing
qualities attest that it is the perfec-
ton of hale and healthful food.-Ba-
ker'S Helper.

30 popular are less in favor now. Cir.
cular, oblong, square, oval, triangular
and the Maltese cross shapes are the
present style. In fact, almost any
fancy shape is used, so If you have
original ideas you may use them with
fair chance of making something just in
the most approved manner.
Where embroideries are used in silks
the Dresden designs are quite desirable.
These are capable of many changes.
You may work corner or the entire
edge, you may "powder," you may
work the center, or do almost any way
you please, except to do without doilies'
White embroideries are becoming more
and more popular, and it is quite likely
that these will soon supersede the
fancy-colored pieces that have held
SWAY so long. 1t does seem pity that
where things are made 30 durable and
of such handsome materials as are
many of the table accessories, they may
not always be in style as long as they
last.
Cut work is elegant and fashionable
but it requires very exact work to be
beautiful, and unless you can make a
good buttonhole it would be better to
let some one else do the Roman cut
work. There is a cut work made of
two materials, lace net and linen lawn
a design is stamped upon the lawn, and
this is basted upon the lace net; en-
broider the edges of the entire design
in buttonhole stitch, or double button
hole, and when finished, the lawn is cut
away, leaving only the design upon the
lace net. This style is great deal OF
work, and will probably be fashionable
as long as the doilies or tray cloths last
for they are not very durable.
The old.fashioned tatting is again in
favor, and it makes very handsome
doilies or borders for them or for tray
cloths. To my notion, it is far pref.
cradle to crochet lace, although the lat.
ter is also much used at the present
time. The doilies are sometimes lined
with colored silk, if made entirely OF
lace or tatting, but are very pretty sim
ply bordered with the trimming. The
size of doilies varies greatly, ranging
from the tiny square of five inches tC
those twelve inches square. Tray
cloths are usually half yard wide by
three-fourths of yard long. Carving
cloths are larger. Center pieces are
from half yard to three-fourths of q
yard square. Cloths for five O'Clock
teas are from one to two yards square
and are deliberately adorned. Whole
sets of doilies will be needed for 8
luncheon given on polished table
without cover. Every plate and dish
must be placed upon one. The size fol-
the plates should be about third of 6
yard, the others smaller or larger al
need requires. Rose Miller, in Neu
! York Observer.
