FEMININE NICKNAAlES.

The observant woman takes careful
note of the changes that are constant
ly going on about her in dress, man
ners and customs generally. One Of
the most felicitous changes now taking
place is the passing away OF the nick
name and the sensible return to the
good old.fashioned cognomens OF half
a century ego. She who was baptized
Elizabeth practically ignored that
sterling name for years, and was called
Bessie, Lizzie, Libbie or some other
weak and undignIAed "pet name" but
nowadays she signs herself elizabeth
Stuart Brown" and takes pride in her
pretty Biblical name. So, too, that
charming girl who was wont to be
called Jennie now comes boldly for.
ward and asserts herself as Jane; and
the Carrie or Nina Of few years since
very properly writes herself Caroline.
Even the dear and blessed word
mother was for a time counted un-
fashionable, but the mother Of to-day
first of all gives her children good,
honest names, and then teaches them
to address her as ''mother." 1t is in
deed cause for congratulation that
the little ones are being called Ruth,
Esther, Rebecca and other names that
have q meaning and history, for at
the present rate of advancement 1t
will not be long before the use OF
nicknames will be wholly thing OF the
past. There are really very few OF
them that are improvements on the
oripinal New York Advertiser.

EMPRESS OF CHINA.

The Great Celebration In Her Honor
: Postponed on Account Of the War.
Stories have been printed recently of the
enormous amount Of money spent on the
birthday celebration of the Dowager En-
press OF China, and this lavish expenditure
was harshly criticised as revealing the selfish
character Of the Empress. 1t appears,
however, that injustice has been done her.
as she has ordered the money to be de-
voted to prosecuting the war with Japan.
Dr., T, F. Scott. missionary, who has Just
returned from Tien-tsin, said:
'In consequence OF the war the Dowa2er
Empress will not celebrate the sixtieth an
niversary Of her birthday this year. The
ceremony has been looked forward to Tor
several years, and &c, 900, 900 taels have been
raised for the purpose, that the event might
be observed with all splendor.
'Now the entire celebration has been
abandoned at the request OF the Dowager
Empress herself. Sne has requested that
the 20, 900, 900 tsels raised for the purpose
be utilized In prosecuting the war with
Japan"

TO MEND PORCELAIN.

To clean porcelains, the best plan Is
to use soft soap, with an old tootn
brush. Should they be very dirty, 2
little vitrol and water may be used,
but not on those decorated over the
glaze. The edges of piece that has
been broken and badly mended re-
ouire the greatest care in cleaning,
for, if not thoroughly cleaned, they
cannot be made to properly adhere 70 9,
one another. In this sort OF work "
is well to proceed in order with nrst
washing in soap and water, then one IN.
yitrol and water, lastly washing IN
alcohol. Whatever dirt, glue, grease, }
etc., may atillremain must be removed
by careful scratching with penknlte.
To repair piece of pottery or por-
celain. after it has been well cleaned,
is often delicate task. When al tne
fragments have been saved, and wnen
the piece is of small size, it is posslDie|
to succeed by simply sticking them
together with q little silicate OF pot
ash alone, or mixed with powdered
plaster of Paris. The silicate can bel
had at any druggists. But some
times piece is missing and its place
has to be filed with plaster OF Paris
Again, the silicate takes twelve houra|
to set hard, and, meanwhile, it is Of
ten necessary that the piece be sup1
ported in order that it may not pei
come detached. It is sometimes, II
the case of a very valuable specimen,
better to replace fragment that nag
been lost, or has been broken in pieces
too small to be reset, with an artistic
mounting in metal-Ths Art Anna
