What Senator PETER Saw.

Senator PETER says that last night
during the progress of the storm he saw
across the street through his window a
large ball of fire fall, apparently from
the sky. Just before it reached the
ground it exploded with a terrific crash.
This morning upon investigation he
found that tree where the ball of fire
fell was torn to pieces.

In millinery the chief novelty is the
beaver hat in black and in colors, but
invariably trimmed with black feathers.
A very elegant hat is in dead gold
beaver, turned up at the back with a
couple of black tips en- aigrette and a
bunch of black roses, Two smaller tips
curl toward the front, and in the imme-
date front of the hat is arranged a
large black ribbon bow knotted into a
large pearl and strass buckle. Capotes
and toques are worn chiefly at theaters
and concerts and are made of jet and
colored chenille. The trimmings of
many of the capotes consist of satin
choux dotted with strass, like glisten-
ing dewdrops, and black and white al
grets. The foundations of the toques are
in jet cabochons resembling sea anem-
ones - very hideous, but very original
tho hard appearance modified by
punches Of curling black feathers on one
side and a twist of velvet lined with
white satin as a border.

Chicago Mail: That Chicago will yet
solve the hithertofore imp ossible prob
lem of tying muley COW by the horns,
is by no means a conjecture She has
been burned out of existence in a day
and fattened on the ashes: she has
builded a dreamland for the world to
play in and thought little of the
achievement; she has essayed a drain
age canal, and before the people barely
know of it, the bulk of the gigantic
enterprise is completed and the glori-
fication exercises are over This is not
boasting; it is modest recording of a
glittering, sparkling, radiating fact.
1t is measly testimonial of the grand,
whoeperup, ripsnorting Vastness OF the
greatest aggregation of human souls
ever brought together under one NUM-
cipal canvas.

Here is the new way Of making apple
butter, as described in the New York
Tribune: Boil and skim for 80 minutes
l 3 gallons Of cider direct from the press.
Then dump 2 y bushels of pared, cored
and cut apples into the kettle all at
once. SmokehoUses are extra nice for
the purpose. Boil and stir constantly
for 3 Is hours. Add 20 pounds brown
sugar and a quarter Of a pound Of
ground cinnamon. Boil a half hour
longer and ladle out into Jars what will
be a more delicious apple sauce than
was ever made by the old time process.
1t will be free from the strong, boiled
cider flavor Of our mothers apple but
ter which was SO disagreeable to most
persons. If inclinedto foam when the
fruit is first added, small piece of but
ter will N ollify it. OF course you can
use larger quantities in the same pro-
portions, according to the size of kettle
The above quantity will give from 40 to
40 quarts, according to juiciness Of the
apples, and will keep if necessary two
years.

Gaze OF A PIANO.
Suggestions Which Pfanists VIII Do Wei
to Carefully Observe.

Suggestions Which Ptanists VIII Do Well
to Carefully Observe.
Presuming that you have good in
strument, one which you prize for its
workmanship and finish, as we'll as for
its musical qualities and companionable-
ness, it is worthy of careful treatment.
You should keep it in room where the
temperature varies as little as possible.
1t should not be exposed to a draft or
dampness from window, door or out
side wall and it should not receive the
direct rays Of heat from the register or
stove or the hot sun of summer. The air
of the room should not be too dry Pot
ted plants in the same room with a
piano will supply about the necessary
amount of moisture
Busting piano is a matter Of taste,
but it should be done with a channels
skin or silk cloth, never with feather
buster or wooden cloth. 1t is, however,
quite important that the keys of the
piano be kept clean. The insensible per-
SEPARATION of the fingers combined with
the unavoidable atoms of dust produce
the soil sometimes seen upon the ivory
keys. A cloth dampened with water, or
water and alcohol, will remove this ef-
fectually.
If it can be avoided, it is better not to
place books, music or bric-a-brac upon
the piano, as it tends to deaden the tone
Of the instrument and often causes SYN
pathetic rafting and Earring that are
sometimes mistaken for defect in the
piano
While it is commendable to see music
and books worn out in service, we do
not like to see them destroyed by care
less or rough usage. Keep the music on
stand, stool or music case convenient
ly near the piano. One can judge OF a
| pianist's musical taste by observing his
! collection of music AS The Musical
Visitor truly says: A musician is in
some measure judged by his repertory.
See to it that it is all that could be de-
| sired

Fashion Echoes.

The new skirts are wide-if possible
wider than ever-about the hem and
must needs fare out from the feet.
Corded and overlapped seams are on
some of the new tailor gowns.
Buttons of all shapes and sizes are a
feature of the season.
Braiding is a popular form of trim
ming.
Full, stiff rufAes, which partake Of
the nature of a hustle, give the required
fullness and fare to the back breadth Of
the new dress skirts.
Haircloth has had its day, excepting
in band about inches wide for fac
ing.
Leather and Kid trimmings are seen
on travelling and street suits.

Edible TosdstooIs,

A great many people fall into the error
IF considering every mushroom of a Ger
tain form and shape as being fit for food.
In order to show what grave mistake
this is, we will say that there are upward
of 5000 species of fungi, toadstools or
mushrooms, and that only 1874 of that
great number can be safely regarded as
edible. In the whole of the United States
there are only eight species Of fungi that
are fit for food, and 30 that are deadly
poisonous Louis Republic.

that that enterprising person
