rhe s,xle of NEW york women.

The average New York woman is in
evitably limited to attra active appearance,
to making the most of what she has,
to delicate tact, to quick perception, to
is her understanding of style. Life at
the national center, the varied expert
ences she undergoes, the diversity of
people she meets, the social decisions
she is constantly called on to make, are
a regular and excellent education for
herself and her dealing with the world.
She is continually learning by observa-
ton, by intercourse with Others by the
condolences she receives, what to adopt
and what to reject in dress, manners,
speech and conduct, so that she would
be uncommonly dull if, after years of
the art and science of style in it's broad
significance. And she is necessarily very
far from dull in her metropolitan sur
roundings. She cannot be dull with the
perpetual friction to which she is ex-
posed, and the urgency to steady i'm
provement of mode and method.
What we call style is almost precisely
synonymous with what the French call
chic. Either word means much or little.
anything and everything; is definite to
the mind and indefnable to the tongue
No one expects to find what is chic out
side Of Paris. No New Yorker, at least,
expects to find style much beyond the
ffty-mile radius with Central park as a
center. What the Partisan is to the Old
world the Manhattanese is to the New.
The latter is rarely born where she makes
her home. She comes from every part
of the republic, from North. South. East
and West, from city, village and hamlet,
to the great municipal school of art, fash
ion. manners, and receives there the Gov
eted degrees of M. S., mistress of style.
So. if she reflects luster on herself she
reflects luster in way, on the whole
country, showing what any American
cies, and in aiming at her own.
The mistress of style must be, in re-
gard to the multitude, as one in hun
dred: but she is familiar figue in every
cultured household, and a creature to be
esteemed, to be admired, to be patterned
the present, she is the woman of the
future as well, for the future cannot
eclipse her.-Harper's Bazaar.

Users of Choral.

The most deadly and insidious of drugs,
choral, seems to be steadily increasing
it's ravages, particularly in the large cit

in New York of men found senseless in
the streets from the effects of what the

drug stores in certain districts and put

the precautions required by law.

How to Tell Good Beef.

The best beef comes from a heifer or
young steer anywhere from 3 to or
years of age. After this age the animal
is known as cow or an OK, and II it has
been well cared for and is we'll fed it
may for two or three years yet furnish
fairly good meat, but not the best. Ac-
cording to age the meat becomes coarser,
tougher and darker, until it is finally unfit
for use on refined table.
Good beef should be smooth-grained,
elastic and juicy, but never wet. To tell
whether it is fresh or not, press against
resumes it's place quickly it is fresh; if
the dent made by the finger remains, or
if it is slippery or wet, avoid it, for it is
already in the first stages of decay and
is unwholesome. The mistake of getting
meat that is too old is often made by
those who like what we call high flavor.
AS matter of fact, beef that has very
high flavor has begun to decay, and is not
only poisonous and unfit to eat, but the
idea Of it is disagreeable to people of fas-
tidiOus tastes, or would be If it were
called by it's right name.
The color as we'll as the texture of beef
varies with age. A good young beef
dingy red when first cut, changing in a
few minutes to bright, clear red, as red
as a cherry. The older the animal was
when killed the darker and less clear the
lean meat will be. When it is pale and
pinkish it is immature The fat should
be light strawcolor, the suet, or kidney
fat, being somewhat brighter than the
fat Of the muscles.
The texture Of good beef is smooth and
close grained, and when cold should APP
pear marbled with fat. When it is very
lean-looking, or stringy, or rough it is too
old. The fat should not be solid and hard
like that of mutton, but should be faky
and the suet fat should be so dry that it

bad quality-''Hints Concerning Market

Grace at Table.

I am about to marry and set up a
home. 1 like the custom of grace al
table, but my wife-to-be rather scouts the
idea Is my view correct?
I have not the pleasure of knowing the
girl you are to marry, but feel perfect
" safe in saying that she does not scout
the idea'' of saying grace at table. She
may, for some reason best known to her
self, pretend to do so, but in her heart
she knows your view is right. 1t is one of
the surest indications of the highest and
best domestic life to bow the head in
thankfulness at the table before partial king
of a meal. These little customs are, in
reality, the foundation stones of the hap

Queen Wilhelmina in London.

The most interesting, as we'll as the
least conspicuous, people sojourning in
London just now are Queen Wilhelmina
of the Netherlands and her mother, the
Queen regent. Almost the first occasion
when they appeared as personages of
any Importance was at the private view
of the Royal academy last week, where
they attracted a great deal of attention
Queen Emma, unlike her also widowed
sister, the Duchess of Albany, has en-
tirely eschewed weeds, and appeared at
Burlington house in a not too elegant
looking costume Of periwinkle blue silk,
trimmed with jet, and small black jet
bonnet trimmed with touches of blue and
pink rose. AS the regent is rather opu-
lent as to figure, and ruddy as to com
plexion, this selection of color was scarce
ly felicitous. However, Queens need not
worry about the becomingness of their
clothes, for whatever they wear is always
voted just the right thing by any number
Of weakened toadies.
The little royal lady, however, really
looked very sweet and demure in gown
of willow green silk, worn with cloth
jacket of the same shade. Her hat was
of the old-fashioned chip variety, and
was trimmed with long white feathers
and satin ribbons. 1t was remarked that
the two Queens talked English charming
~ and with very little of the ugly rough
accent such as Hollanders usually dis
play. The Duchess of Albany joined her
sister and niece later in the afternoon,
wearing a pretty black crepon gown,
trimmed with dull jet and chiffon, and
with narrow white muslin collar and
cuffs, and small peaked bonnet with
white lisse frill inside the brim. With
her came her daughter, the Princess
Alice, sweet-faced child, dressed in a
gray and pink shot silk gown entirely
too old for her age. Her broad white
straw hat, trimmed with ostrich feathers,
relieved, however, the old womanish APP
pearance of her costume. The young
Duke of Albany, a gentleman who has
only recently arrived at the dignity of
Elton jackets. completed the group, and
it was interesting to watch the extraor-
binary resemblances between the two
families.-New York Mail and Express.

The simplicity of white muslin is again
talked of for these frocks, and something
very like it may be obtained in the pres

realized in the Frenchy ingenu gown of

THE TROUBLE IN CUBA.
SPAIN SADDLES ON THEM A BIG
DEBT AND
Keeps a Large Standing Army on
the Island Which the Natives
Have to Support.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-An in
telligent and comprehensive view
of the Cuban revolution given by
a gentleman, now in Washington,
long identified with Cuban affairs
and personally acquainted with
the conspirators, figures the con-
test in most serious aspect.
"The uprising" said he, "arises
from certain internal conditions in
Cuba, which are little understood
in the United States. Spain loaded
on Cuba the entire debt OF the last
rebellion. This burdens Cubans
with Sl2,574,4S5 each year. Besides
this Spain compels them to pay
all the expenses OF the army sus-
tanned in Cuba. This army is COM
posed Of 2O,444 men, costing S., 9O4.-
0S4 per year. Added to this will
be the cost Of the present uprising,
all Of which Spain will placed on
Cuba. These conditions are so
burdensome, that coupled with the
progress made by the insurgents
from such small beginnings will,
when made known, gain force and
sympathy from all classes"

LONDON, April g. Crowds OF
people besieged the vicinity OF Bow

police court was filled with in.
terested spectators as soon as the
doors were opened, all anxious to
see Oscar Wilde, whose arrest yes
terday was followed close upon the
sensational termination of his suit
for libel against the Marquis of
Queensbury. G. f. Gill, who is
Carson's junior counsel in defense
Of the Marquis of Queensbury,
acted as prosecutor today.
The prosecutor related that when
Wilde was staying at the Savoy
hotel, Alfred Taylor, who was ar
rested today, acted as procurer for
Wilde, who repeatedly visited Tay-
lor's house; continuing, Gill said
the prosecution proposed to show
how Taylor approached young
man named Parker, who was a
valet out Of position, and his
brother, Groom Taylor, it was
stated, had told them how money
could be made by going with gen
tlemen and said that Wilde was
man who gave much money to
boys and men. They finally con-
sented aud was arranged that they
should be introduced to Wilde at
dinner, which he would give in a
private room at Kittner's restau-
rant. After this dinner, Wilde
announced to Taylor, who was also
present, that Charles Parker was
"the boy for him" and he took the
latter to the Savoy hotel where he
committed the crime. Parker was
here called to the stand but the
proceedings were interrupted by
the official announcement that
Taylor had been arrested.
A few moments later Taylor was
brought into court and placed in
the dock beside Wilde who nodded
to him. Parker was then examined
and related his story at length Civ
ing the most minute details of his
intimacy with Wilde. He testified
that he visited Wilde at the Savoy
hotel, at Albemarle, at Wilde's
chambers, and at other addresses
almost daily and while Parker was
giving his testimony Wilde moved
reStlessly in the dock and passed
his hands across his face. Parker
added that he was arrested with
TaylOr in the raid in 1894 on
house in FIbery SquarH, but he
claimed he has since abandoned
his evil life. The counsel for
Wilde asked leave to postpone the
cross examination Of Parker, as
the evidence has taken them by
surprise. Parker was then bound
over to testify at the trial OF Wilde.
which is to take place in the Old
Bailey.
Considerable testimony OF dam
aging nature was taken at the
conclusion, after which the Judge
held Wilde until Thursday next.
The magistrate refused 10 release
Wilde on bail, saying it was not
