It is all very well to use the best
parlor, the best furniture, the best
china even if you do not mind hav-
ing it broken, for the home folks,
but prudence will suggest that you
draw the line at the best tablecloth.
No matter if your best is poor
enough as to quality, and but little
better, If any, than that in daily
use, you may still keep it free from
stains and always ready for state
occasions by only using it on such oc-
casions. During many, many years
of housekeeping l have never found
it anything but tragedy when the
best cloth and napkins must be re-
placed. But even where the house
keeping funds are limited it is posi-
BILE to have laid away fine cloth,
with a pretty carving cloth and cen
terpiece which you will use only for
guests.
If the cloth is too soiled for anoth-
er company's entertainment, let it be
laundered at once, but do not flatter
yourself that you can use it for one
or more home dinners first. That
way come stain and soilure perhaps
beyond the power of the laundress to
remove When my husband at
home dinner burned a hole in my
best cloth with his postprandial ci
gar, found that this was bad policy.
Wash the embroidered pieces your
self, using suds of ivory soap; rinse
in clear lukewarm water, hang up
and press before they are dry, and the
embroidery, if done with wash silks,
will positively not fade--New York

Brehm informs us that the flesh of
the young peacock is very delicate
and has "a wild odor' which is very
agreeable. He thinks an old bird fit
only for stewing. The Greeks must
have found it marvellous costly feed
ing if it be true, as Elian says, that
a single bird was worth a thousand
drachmas- nearly $50. The esteem
In which it was held in the last days
of the Roman republic did not dimin-
ish under the imperial regime.
Vitellius and Heliogabalus served
up to to their boon companions enor-
nous dishes of peacocks' tongues and
brains, seasoned with the rarest In
dian spices. In medieval days it was
still held in favor, particularly as a
Christmas dish, and MINISTRIES sang
of it as food for lovers and meat for
lords
To fit it for the table was no ordi-
nary culinary operation. After the
skin and plumage had been carefully
stripped off the bird was roasted,
then served up again in its feathers,
with gilded beak. No, have forgot
ten that it was first stuffed with
spices and sweet herbs and basted
with yolk of egg. 1t foated in sea
of gravy, as many as three fat
wethers sometimes supplying the
unctuous liquor for single peacock.

BILE, said Walter Francis, gentle
man who knows all about oil. ''Of

chemicals that are separated from

metal Yes, sir, the edges of the pots
in which crude petroleum is refined

It was Mr.. Gould's misfortune to have
surpassed the crowd of men by whom
he was surrounded and with whom he
had his dealings not in audacious un-
scrupulousness, but in skill and in sue
cess. The character of the business in
which they are all engaged calls into
exercise by its nature unlovely traits of
character, and encourages the use of
articles which sound morahst cannot
approve. Many things that Mr.. Gould
did injured his reputation, chiefly be-
cause he did them on large scale, and
TO the hurt of numerous victims. The
like has been az often done by others
without their mourning obloquy, merely
because of the comparative pettiness of
their offense This of course does not
excuse Mr.. Gould. but in justice it
should silence the clamor of many who
have been his most virulent assailants.
We have little hope that the lesson
taught by Mr.. Gould's career and by the
memory that he leaves behind him will
be needed by those to whom it ought to
be chiefly useful They will see only
that he has succeeded in what they most
desire-the amassing of "A great fortune
and they will encounter the risk of a
reputation like his, provided only it
shall be accompanied by the same com
pensation. Poor human nature!-New

The reason why women have done so
little good work in the field of musical
composition is found in their lack Of
mental discipline.
Such work requires thinking powers
of no ordinary degree, 1t presumes an
amount of intellectual discipline which
men in general have always had, but
which women were deprived of until
lately.
Yet in spite of hereditary impediments
and social prejudices the amount of work
done by women in the field of musical
composition has been considerable. What
it will be when a sound intellectual
training and other Indispensable condi-
tons will enable her to compete with
man qualitatiyely the future will show.

Among dull winters withered leaves,
But spring her bridal garments weayes

In violet time
Bright waters by the bree2es stirred,
The carol Of the homing bird
In every budding brake is heard

Ia violet time
On misty hills and flashing streams
shine forth the hopeful, gladstone gleams
OF sunny days and summer dreams
In violet time.
la violet time
A thrill of ecstasy divine
Exalts the soul like newmade wine,
And faith and hope and love combine
In violet time.
In violet time
The shadows all translucent lie
In joyous languor on the sky
Oh, who would be content TO die
