A woman naturally hates to clean

cleaned as soon as used but if nee

the tray or bowl full of cold water
and let it stand So When you get
ready to clean it the dough will be in
the bottom of the utensil as general
thing, and you will only have to rinse
and dry it, The same is true of ket-
ties and skillets. / do not approve of
setting any utensils aside when the

Decorations OF Ribbon.

Braces or suspenders of No. 0 or L:
satin or gros gr ain ribbon, especially
in black, are among the much-affected
ribbon trimmings, says the Ladies'
Home Journal. They commence at
the belt, back and front, and tie up
on the shoulders. Others are without
bows and are partly or entirely
covered with open work jet bands
Collars of ribbons are plain or laid in
folds and shaped with seam at the
center front; at the back there is a
rosette or swa llow-tail bow, and one
on each side to correspond. Bows or
rosettes of ribbon are used on the
full sleeves to drape some of the ex-
cessive fullness to the outside. Then
house dresses are often trimmed with

She had promised to write to him,

A Country Maid.

Her eyes the sun. kissed vlolets mate
And fearless Is their gaze
She moves with graceful, careless gait
Along the country ways
The roses blushiny in her cheek
That ne'er decay nor fade.
Her laughter gay, her words bespsaI,
A simple country maid
No flashing gems adorn her hair,
Nor clasp her lily neck,
No jeweled circlets rich and rare,
Her sun. Drowned hands bedeck;
But pearly teeth through lips rs red
AS reddest rubles CLEAN:
The tresses DER her shoulders spread
A golden mantle seem
Her looks are kind, and sweet the smile
That sparlSle5 in her eyes
Her mind, her heart, are free from guile.
She Is not learned or wise
No worldly art. no craft has she
Acquired. her charms TO aid:
And yet she stole my heart from me-

Seven Brave Damsels.

Seven young school teachers OF
Monterey, CAL, rebelled simultane-
ously against boarding-houses and
conventional attire, and the story of
their revolution is still causing eX-
element in the quaint old town.
They are dubbed "The Pleiades. I"
and on the whole the comment they
have excited seems to be kindly. The
home-loving inhabitants of Monterey
naturally sympathized with the feel
ings of young women who declare
that they could not and would not
stand boarding-houses and who pro-
cecded at once to make home for
themselves. Even boomers could be
forgiven young persons with such en-
inentiy correct instincts concerning
the home. So that on the whole
1.-THE Pleiades" are enjoying good
deal of praise.
They have established themselves
in picturesque old abode which was
for many months tenantless All the
furnishings dear to the heart of the
woman of the period are there
CuSllioHS, rugs bcu JbDleS, ldlnDS,
divans, and the like. The result is an
ideal home. Then they assumed a
costume consisting of shirt waist, II
zouave jacket, bloomers, and CATERS,
and in this they went abroad chal-
longing criticism. When they first
appeared in their schoolrooms in this
advanced uniform the children stared,
but after a day or two they became
used to the sight and paid no atten-
ton to their teachers abbreviated
garments.
''rhe Pleiades" are given TO walk
ing also, and they traverse seven
teen-mile cypress drive with ease and
grace. Their ranks are swelled, how
ever, on these pedestrian expeditions,
and sometimes there arc as many as
twenty "bloomer girls" to be seen on
the highways in and about Monterey.
1.-THE Pleiades" have distinguished
themselves at fishing and boating,
and at times they have interested the
inhabitants of the adobe town by
their exciting boat races

an immense bow at the lower part of
the center front, or on u pretty crepon
evening gown there is row of No. Z
satin ribbon down each front and
side seam, each dotted with
rosettes or swallow-tail bows. Belts
are of No. IL or 80 ribbon,
the latter being folded to go
around the waist, as is No. 60 when
that is worn, which width seems to
herald the return of sashes in the
spring, when season for ribbon
garniture is predicted, especially in
black, as now. Belts fasten at the
back with a rosette or swallow bow,
or have two rosettes three inches
apart and an end from each to the
edge of the skirt These rosettes are
also worn to fasten in front, and for
change they some times fasten with or
without ends on each side above the
waist after passing around the waist
twice. Another style has lengthwisc
bows, two loops up and loop and end
down, on each side of the center front
or back, or both, and an end from
each, which in turn has II bow half
way down its length.
This is pretty when it falls as
though a continuation of the braces.
Belts may have rosette or bow with
out ends on either side of the front.
Wide ribbon is tied in loops on the
left, with two long ends.

The Deepest Mine In France.

The deepest coal mine in France (by
some authorities said to be the deep
est in the world) is at Andre du Poirier.
The mine is worked with two shafts.
one 1852 feet deep and the other
3,083. The latter shaft is now being
deepened, and will reach the 1000
foot level by July, 1895. The yearly
product of this mine is 100000 tons OF
coal. The remarkable feature of the
mine is the comparatively low tenn
perature-seldom rising above rs de-
grees Fair.

Spaln's Select Fighting Bulls.

According to a writer in the Nine
teenth Century, some time ago, the
bulls used for fighting purposes are a
specially selected, specially cared for
class. They are all pedigreed. Anda-
lusia is especially the district of the
bull. Here. at the age of l year, the
young bulls are separated from the
heifers, branded with the owners mark
and turned out loose on the plains to
Craze with others of their own age.
When a year older, the young bulls
are gathered together, in order that
their mettle and fighting qualities may
be tested. One Of them is separated
from the herd and chased by man on
horseback, who, by the skillful use of
n blunted lance, Overthrows the escap-
ing bull, whereupon another rider comes
in front of the animal with a sharper
lance, to Withstand the expected at
tack. If the bull, on regaining his feet,
attacks the rider twice, it is passed as
II fighting animal, but If he turns tail
and runs off, then 1t Is set aside to be
killed or to be used in agricultural
work And so with each animal until
the whole herd Of 2-year-olds has been
tested Each bull that has stood the
test successfully is then entered in the
herd book, with description of its
appearance, and receives a name-such
as Espartero, flamenco and the like.
This process of careful selection goes
on from year to year until the bull is
5 years old, when, should its mettle
still prove true, it is ready for the
arena, and flaming posters appear on
the walls Of Madrid or Seville announc-
ing that Espartero Tor whatever his
name Isl will on such and such date
make its first and final appearance. A
good warrantable 5-year-old bull for
the fighting ring costs from $3.50 to
$ s00.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Batter for Frying Fish.

Beat up an egg thoroughly, and
then beat in -four enough to make
the batter very thick, so that enough
of it will adhere to the fish dipped

mace, if the flavor of spice is liked.
Dip the fish into this batter, and put
each piece as dipped into the boiling

DON'T LIE.

A lie is a cripple. 1t cannot stand
alone, but breeds spawn of the same
litter. and nolsome is the stencil there
of. Tell the truth, boys. How often
do we have this homely advice flung at
our heads, and surely we must believe
there is something in it. Not alone
from the hosts of great men, good and
bad, who have gone before, but the wise
heads of three great nations, Germany,
Italy and England have just declared
themselves. Signor Crispl the foremost
Italian statesman and diplomat has
said it: Bismarck, the leader of Germany
in field and council chamber has said
it: Gladstone, the grand old man OF
England has said it their nameis legion.
And do you think these graybeards,
these wise heads, silvered by years OF
irving work in the ranks of diplomacy
and deceit, would sound these notes OF
caution and advice with one foot in the
grave, were it not their heart felt sentl
ment? No, they have said it as they
meant it, and no man can mistake then
warning. And where will we land il
we heed not the lessons of the past
Now, in this connection, let me say
word applicable to us here. If yor

of the race, the presumptions are
nightly in favor of it's being beneficial,
Of its being something worth clinging
to at all haZards-aS is the common
understanding of all who enjoy it.
Those who advocate government con-
troll of the means of existence generally
speak of 1t as a larger liberty than is
now vouchsafed to any people, since it
offers, in their opinion opportunities
for the enjoyment of life and freedom
from anxiety, to larger number of
human beings. The common answer
and it is true One-is that such OPP
portunities for enjoyment and such de
liverances from anxiety are won only
by labor, coniolned with intelligence,
and that the bottom question is whether
government can direct the labor of men
more inteligently than they direct it
themselves, supposing for the moment
that all are willing to work for com
mon ends as for their own ends. "But
you must" says the socialist, the ma
tionalist, the compelling altruist. And
so they begin by subverting liberty
Their first step is to overthrow and
bring to naught something which then
fathers and grandfathers wrought out
with great effort and shed their BLOOD
that their children might enjoy. anC
which. in general way. those children
hold to be their most precious earthl.
possession. Andsso, more than ever
does it seem true that the price O.
liberty is eternal vigilance. -Minneapo

vanced by the designing aspirants for
influence through which they hope to
ride into the graces of the masses at an
opportune time. When common indif-
ference in matters concerning many,
and the we'll known gullability of the
people shall have become a thing of the
past and in their stead reign unalloyed
practicability in all things, then only
shall genuine merit be rewarded and
the willy confidence operators showed
