gown was the occasion of a portrait.
A new gown is commonly an essay
in a little of all the oddities of the
prevailing fashion. To fix these
transient effect in the abiding eye of
time is to make ones self the target of
posterity's ridicule. Aosterity, it is
true, is rather vague sort of audience,
but since poets crave it's approval a
woman may pardonably wish to es-
cape its smiles.
She may dwell upon the doom she
breads in grandmamma's face, smirk-

old lady right well, and she rose
colored our young views of life with
such material aids to ideality as lie in
spire cakes and apple-turnover. Even
in her remote girlhood she was charm
ing, but we would prefer remembering
her white capped and knitting in the
ingle-nook. She has, however left us
q view of herself in two punches of
wooden ringlets, her stiff fingers in
lace mittens, an unearthly smile on
her lips, her lean young neck disclosed
to pitiless criticism in bodice cut
straight off to reveal two peaked
shoulders.
The wise woman who has outliYed
her schoolgirl fondness tor tintypes
and the lavish gold rings and pink
cheeks of this style of portrait, arrives
at certain conclusions on the subject
Photographic effects. That these con-
clusions, like all great ones, are gener-

from the display in Broadway and
Fifth avenue studios.

the limbo of things SO outworn as
jewelled forefingers and bridal

Here are some recipes which feel
confident will be helpful to many a
housekeeper who has been rendered
almost desperate by repeated failures
in her attempts to make good bread
and rolls.
Put two quarts, somewhat heaped,
of sifted new process flour into bread
bowl. Make well in the centre, pour
in one pint of luke-warm water, in
which has been dissolved one table
spoonful Of shortening-bltter, clari-
fed beef drippings or lard-and one
coffee cupful of luke-warm water, in
which has been dissolved one half of
cake of compressed yeast; sift in one
medium sized boiled potato, cold or
hot; add one tablespoonful of salt and
two ofsugae.
Stir this, wetting with spoon,
mixing in little of the -four, and
lastly, covering with some from the
sides, thus leaving the sponge sur
rounded by the flour
Do this in the evening, and put it
in warm place to rise over night. In
the morning stir it up with a knife.
1t should be so stiff that it will seem
as though it were almost impossible to
mix in all of the flour and it will look
rongh when finished.
Set it again in warm place, and
let it rise until extremely light, pro-
badly three or four hours, according
to the temperature, Then carefully
divide into two parts with sharp
knife; do not knead it at all, but form
lightly into loaves in the hands. Place
in warmed, creased baking pans and
set once to rise. When very light,
certainly twice its former size, and
air bubbles can be seen through the
almost transparent crust, put into
rather hot oven and bake fnom three
quarters Of an hour to an hour.

Nvrlng Lamb In Winter.

There are farmers in central and
western New York who are said to
have established plants costing from
$4,000 To $50, 900 for the production of
dollhouse lambs. The lambs are born
in winter in large stables lighted with
glass, heated with steam or furnace.
The little lamb brought mp in this
manner belongs to a breed noted for
flesh rather than for wool, and after
IL has trOtted ut the heels of its
mother for two months 1t Is offered
up as a sacrifice to mans appetite
and is sent to commission houses In
New York. Such lambs are said 10
have brought as high as $50, from
that price ranging all the way down
TO 80. They go To the h~igl-priced
restaurants, and ut the further end Of
the line on the bill of fare, which be-
gins with clubhouse lamb" are likely
to appear the figures "$l.50." Turkey
IS said TO be cOarse aud homcIy fare
compared with this delicacy. This
accounts for the spring lawb and mint
sauce that constituencies restaurants
keep on their bills or fare the year
round aud the dollhouse manipula-
tion explains that passage Of scripture
about "teinpcring the wind to the
shoRn lamb" that never was In the
Bible.

A Little Mare.

A correspondent of London Land
and Water furnishes the following
remark able item in its issue Of De-
cember /.
son the opening day of the HurSley
Hounds, on the 9TH ultimo, Major
Warde was riding a little mare, 10
hands high, belonging to me. While
the hounds were running he rode ut
what appeared to he an ordinary
quickest fence. Seeing it was blind,
and thinking there might be Il ditch
beyond, he increased the mares pace
slightly. AS she took off he saw that
there was a deep lane ON the far side
of the fence. The mare also must
have seen this as she took off, for she
made IA gallant effort, and actually
succeeded in clearing the fence, the
lane. and landing over the fence on
the other side Of the lane into the
field beyond. She just missed by a
few inches clearing her hind feet,
which were caught by the fence. This
brought her down but she was up
again at once, finished the run, and
saw the fox killed.
~, together with eye-witncsscs OF
the jump, measured carefully the
distance cleared to be 81 feet 8 inches
from where the mare took of to where
she landed with her f0refeet.
considering the height OF the
mare. and the fact that she was not
fully extended, and that her rider did
not know that he was about to take
anything but an ordinary small fence,
/ think you will agree with me that
the little mares performance is very
remarkable"

FEEDING YOrNC OYSTERS.
They Thrive on the Leaves Of the Sea
Lettuce Crushed Fine.

Baltimore American.
Mr.. Charles p. Sigcrfoos, OF the
John Hopkins University, who last
summer conducted experiments in
oyster culture ut Beaufort, n. c..
under the direction of Professor W.
X. Brooks, told yesterday OF the ex-
pertinent which demonstrated that
young oysters could be fed ar%titicalIy.
"It.has for some time been known"
said Mr.. Sigerfoos. that the food OF
the oyster is purely vegetable. The
only difficulty was to find something
Of a vegetable nature minute enough
to be eaten by the young oysters when
but a few days old. The egg Of the
oyster is exceedingly small so small,
in fact, that it car hardly be seen by
the naked eye. In Il season an oyster
is supposed today several million eggs,
At Beaufort, where the experiments
were conducted this year, the oysters
lay their eggs about May /. A large
quantity of eggs which had just been
taken from the oysters were placed in
Il glass aquarium, where their growth
could be easily watched. For Il few
days after being Matched the young
oysters car live without food.
''In order to get food that would be
sufficiently minute for the young
oysters, we took the leaves Of the sea
lettuce and crushed it as fine as pos
siblc, and put it into the aquarium.
On this the oysters seemed to thrive,
ana We watched their growth for
eighteen days. They grew much
faster than they would if left to them
selves in the water. For the first
month or so after the oyster is
Matched it floats around in the water
in whatever direction the tide may
car y it. When it grows to be about
one-fOurtli the size Of Il clover seed, il
attaches itself to some stationary
substance, and there remains. 1t is
not known ut what age an oyster ar
rives before it attaches itself. IL is
probably between N and two
months. In Europe in artiticaiiy
propagating oysters they are allowed
to attach themselves to twigS. and in
this name they can easily be trans
ported tor planting"

The right Of II person to whistle, to
the paralysis of other persons nerves,
Is becoming almost ds b%nrninga ques-
tion as the right OF persons to smoke,
to the mental and bodily detrimcnt OF
Others. We Americans are probably
next to our own colored people in
the southern towns, whom we have
educated In the art-the whistlingest
people IN the world. There are, ap-
parently, two reasons for this. One
Is that we are the most nervous of
people: we have got to be dong some
thing: we can't 20 down stOlidly at
our work like Europeans, or sit silent
and contemplative: so we work of our
fdgets with whistling. The other
reason is that we are really a cheerful
and expressive people, in spite Of all
that has cver been said to the CONTRA
ry. The national whistling habit has
resulted in the production OF Il great
number of really skillful and musical
whistlcrs. With one consideration
and another. there is a tremendous
amount of whisLling. 1t seems cheer
full, and sometimes, to the whistler.

ones whistling was heard only by
himself. IL would be IA blessed way of
working of ones nervousness, too.
What about that? An ordinary
whistlcr's perform ,nce gives abso-
lutely no pleasure to anyone but him
self.
