A FEW OF THE MANY TOPICS THAT
TOUCH On FEMININE INTERESTS.
They Include a Discussion Of Jelly
Making, the Question of Age N
the Problem What to Wear.

Many people, to their sorrow, have had &C.
casion to notice how. IL there is any topic
that is best avoided the talk invariably
drifts in that direction, and how sometimes
the most brutal home-thrusts are delivered
in all innocence and Inconsistencies, until
in an awful pause the unhappy blunderer
becomes aware of his or her indiscretion,
says a writer in the New. York Tribune.
Sometimes il seems as If a malignant sprite
controlled the conversation, which il directs
into a succession of tabooed subjects out
of pure malice and love of mischief.

whereat one Of the guests was a divorce

TO-DAY's GREAT RACE.
Harvard and Yale varsity Crews and
the Course TO Re RoNed.

the course 10 ne NONe0.
NEW LONDON. Conn. June 27.-The Har-
ward varsity crew. which meets Yale on
the Thames late tomorrow afternoon will
enter the race under conditions radically
different from anything a crimson eight
has experienced in years. No Harvard oars
man remembers a crew from Cambridge
that mas worked harder or met with more
difficulties than the eight that will struggle
with the blue that day. The men have I'M
dergone a system in training altogether
different from that which has been in vogue
at Harvard for some years and IL required
constant attention and faithful application
from every member OF the crew to become
thoroughly accustomed TO the new condi-
tons. For a month previous 10 the arrival
Of the crew at New London. rowing mat
tiers at Harvard had been completely
knocked out by the epidemic of tonsilitis
prevalent among the oarsmen on the Charles
river. The crew. however, recovered quick
ly and by hard work regained all they had
lost and improved every day. The Harvard
stroke his year is long, with plenty Of
power in il and the oarsmen have been
pulling from thirty-four to thirty-eight. 1t
Is not an essentially different stroke from
that used by Yale, both being a modification
of the English stroke. The Harvard crew
sits straighter and swings we'll forward
from the nlpS DcIOTt SilulIS On the TecON-
er, while their leg drive is not as snappy
and is started with the body just a bit
beyond the perpendicular. Harvard finishes
with bodies erect and with hands drawn
into the chest, while the Yale men finish
with bodies slightly forward and hands sew
erai inches out from the body. The Yale
stroke is better developed in some ways.
The Harvard oars do not take the water as
Clearly as Yale and the blades are not
brought out on the recovery very well.
The men who sit in the Harvard boat are
all oarsmcn OF some experience. though Bull
lard and Fennessy are the only two who
have ever rowed a varsity race. The statis-
ties OF the crew as now made up are as

A Perfect Woman.

She was a phantom Of delight
When first she CLEANED upon my sight;
A lovely apparition, sent
To be a moments ornament;
Her eyes as stars of twilight fair:
Like twilight's. too, her dusky hair;
But all else about her drawn
From May-time and the cheerful W
A dancing shape, an image gay
To haunt. TO ~startle, and waylay.
j saw her upon nearer view,
A spirit, yet a woman, too.
Her household motions light and free.
And steps of virgin liberty;
A countenance in which did meet
Sweet records. promises as sweet:
A creature not too bright or good
For human natures daily food:
For transient sorrows, simple wiles.
Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears and smiles
And now l see with eye serene
The very pulse of the machine;
A being breathing thoughtful breath,
a traveller betwixt life and death;
The reason firm, the temperate will,
Endurance, foresight. strength and skill
a perfect woman nobly planned,
To warn, TO comfort, and command;
And yet a spirit still. and bright,
With something of an angel light.

lightly, less feverishly. AT first we think
that everything is rose-colored: then we
believe that everything is black. but. in

among other things, an utter liberalization

Art Of ~Jelly-Maktng.

tfOOa
The first step in jelly-making is. of
course. the gathering or buying of the fruit.
For good Jelly this must be quite fresh,
not overripe or underripe; first, because
IL will not easily jelly under those adverse
circumstances; secondly, because it is I'M
wholesome, and Is, il underripe, too acid
to give a pleasant taste. Neither should
the fruit be gathered Immediately after a
rain. These are little things, but they are
quite essential to success.
We now come 10 the second step, the
making. The usual rule. is TO use a pound
Of cugar 10 a pint Of juice. The ways Of
extracting the juice Of fruits are so simple
and we'll known that they need scarcely be
must be insisted upon in the making or
clear Jelly; the jelly must be strained
out squeezing. In the kind Of sugar to use
one finds a variety Of opinions. but expert
ence and observation lead me to decide that
white granulated sugar is by all means the
best. The cheaper sugars leave an unpleas-
ant taste. and their sweetening power Is
not SO great. 1t Is rather difficult in the
larger cities, in these degenerate days, TO
find not only unadulterated but uncolored
sugar.
Il might be supposed that at least white
sugar. after the trials 1t has been subjected
to in order 10 make IL white. could be sold
without coloring, but dealers claim that the
colored is preferred to the uncolored. so
indigo, a vegetable dye, Is used TO give II
the proper sellable hue. This dye is in
soluble in water, and often has much TO do
in keeping jellies cloudy. The sugar is used
not only TO give the desired flavor and
sweetness, but as a preservative. The fruit

in mind after a very little experience, a
person anxious 10 succeed will have few
drawbacks.
With the more watery fruits in a We,
season. and with very ripe fruits. a longer
boiling must take place. The long boiling
destroys the gelatinous capability of the
pectin. and the fruit will never jelly. SO a
happy medium must be found. Twenty
minutes Is the usual time OF boiling before
the sugar is added, but 1t varies with differ
ent fruits. AS | am only to give sugses-

HAYWARDS LAST CARD.


MINNEAPOLIS. June 27.-It has devel-
oped that Harry T. Hayward. now in jail
under sentence OF death for the murder of
Catherine Cling. has made formal applica-
ton to the New York Life and Travellers
Insurance Company for the $4,000 insurance
on the life Of his victim. He is supposed TO
have taken this action to bear out his claim
to innocence. The executors OF Miss Ging's
estate will bring action TO nave the as
signment OF the policies TO Hayward set
aside as fraudulent.

the race is TO be rowed is not an ideal
one and is selected only because OF its
convenience for both Yale and Harvard.
The only fair race is rowed down stream
and always with the tide and within two
hours of its flood. The starting flag is on
the Montville side OF the water. half a
mile below the Yale quarters and almost
opposite Red Top. In order TO get a straight
away course the start is made close TO
the bank and out of the river channel, so
that the first mile of the race is rowed
over flats. The course will be marked by
white flags anchored in the water at every
half mile. The two-mile flag, or the middle
OF the course, will be just off the end of
the long navy yard dock and the race is
usually decided at this point. The finish
line is at the upper end of the long draw
bridge pier and the boat on the west course
cred with fatal eel grass border most of
the course, so that much depends on the
coyswains knowledge of the river and his
skill in handling the boat. All of "Coxy's'
nerve is required always In the last mile
OF the race, for here the course is lined
with yachts, excursion steamers and crafts
of every description and a cool head and
steady hand are necessary TO pass them
safely. There is but little difference between
the two courses, one having practically no
advantages over the other. The fact that
the race is always rowed with the tide ana
against the wind accounts TO a great extent
for the difference i'm the time made by
successive crews.
Since the Inauguration of the Yale-Har-
ward boat races in 1876 Yale has won twelve
and Harvard seven contests. The best time
by the victorious Yale crew in 1883. the time
being twenty minutes ten seconds. Follow
ing is a summary of the races since 1876,
