flowers, fringe, etc, are quite expensive,
so that they are only suitable for piano
or banquet lamps among people who are
able to stand the expense. The new
'tub" shades may be made of white or
tinted heavy, plain paper or light card
board, cut to shape, and the two ends
fastened together with a small wire
clamp such as is used in offices to hold
manuscript together. So they are ex-
tremely inexpensive. They have to be
used on wire frames on the lamps, like
other shades, of course, but those of the
right shape and size can now be had as
cheap as any. Indeed, a very little in
genuity will enable anyone to make the
wire frame herself. These little lamp
shades may be made as pretty as de-
sired by a little painting in water col
ors, pin-tracing or India ink outline
sietching. The end fastenings may be
concealed by rosettes or butterfly bows
of ribbon. The materials used are so
inexpensive that even if they do scorch
at the upper edge soon, they can readily
be replaced by new ones. l have tried
them and like them very much. They

A curious room, well worth describ-
ing, was recently undertals, II by an up
town resident of New York. The idea
applied simply to the walls, which were
covered in dark, deadish green ingram
paper, and at various points around
these walls were simple shelves, upon
which were deep green jardinieres con-
tanning artificial flowers arranged after
the style of the japanese, appearing to
be in natural growth, each pot contain
ing but one kind of flower. Vines were
arranged upon the walls, and presented
thus were the only designs or colorings
anywhere upon the four sides of the
room. Artificial flowers are plentiful,
and at certain periods are cheap

PREPARATION OF BEEF.
Some Practical Suggestions Regarding the
Selection of Meat.

SeleCtlOn Oh meat
Beef is not only the most wholesome,
but the most economical meat for n
family. In choosing good meat it is
we'll to be sure that the grain is smooth
rather than open, and that the lean is
of a fresh, bright red color. The fat
should look white rather than yellow,
and in young beef, which is the more
tender, the fiber is elastic and rises
when pressed with the finger.
The prime pieces of beef are the sir
loin, the ribs and the round. The two
first are usually roasted; the brisket
and the shoulder are best for boiling or
stewing. A delicate and tender steak
is sometimes made from the inside or
fillet of the sirloin. 1t should never be
pounded, which is vain attempt to
make tough meat tender by bruising its
fbers. If beef is intended for boiling
it is usually rubbed over with little
salt. A tablespoonful of vinegar add
ed to the water will render it quite
tender.
The loss of weight in cooking meat
| is from one-fifth to one-third, which
| is chiefly water, and beef shrinlks con
siderably less than some other kinds
of meat. Lean beef contains 72 pei
cent. of water, and fat beef 81 per cent
Roast beef is digested in three hours
salt beef requires four and quarter t.
four and half hours.
The great point in cooking meat is
to render it tender without extracting
the juices, and it is better to cook il
slowly, so that the loss shall be only
water. But it should first be subjected
to a high heat, thus coagulating the
surface albumen so as to retain tht
| juices.
The usual time for roasting is calcu
lated at a quarter of an hour for eacf
pound of meat, and it should be fre
quently basted. When serving, tht
dish should be handsomely garnished

story of how 1 did it one night. 1t
was dark and dismal time down on
the Potomac, and we had been wading
around in the mud and cold until the
heart was entirely taken out of us.
We had moved forward and were eX-
pecting an attack of the enemy at any
moment. Under such circumstances
sentinels are given extra orders to be
watchful, and for a guard to sleep at
his post means death at daylight, sure.
81 had been placed in an exposed posi-.
ton, and my orders were very strict.
indeed. My beat lay across a narrow
neck of land between two gorges, and
L had a monopoly of it and was entire
ly alone, but 1 had good command of
the ground in front of me, and with
ordinary care no enemy could approach
without being seen. l knew that much
depended upon my vigilance, and |
knew that if betrayed my trust death
would be my portion at daylight, but
l was only boy and so dead tired that
L could hardly stand up. l went on
duty, though, like man, and l stood
il for don't know how long.
But boy nature can't stand every
thing and l was rudely aroused from Il
beautiful dream of home by violent
shaking and the hoarse whispers and
curses of the officer of the guard. In
minute l knew what had happened,
and there flashed through my mind
picture of blindfolded soldier sitting
on his coffin with firing party stand
ing in front of him. l got to my feet
by the help of jerk or two by the
officer, and then 1 expected more abuse,
and got it and kept on getting it until
| got back to the officers tent.
"There the officer got good look at
me and discovered that | was covered
with blood. So did 1, much to my sur
| prise, but I felt on the instant that
| was saved, for the officer asked what
the blood meant, and 1 told him must
have burst small blood vessel and
fallen in faint on my beat. l was
scared so badly that was sick, and l
didn't have to argue long to prove my
case, notwithstanding the very serious
results that might have followed my
dereliction of duty. l had no guard
| duty TO perform after that for long
time, and an offense that was punish
able by death actually turned out to
be fine snap for me, which as a boy
rather enjoyed"
"But the blood?" inquired the writer.
"Simply case of nose-bleed, to
which two Or three years before had
been subject presume my weakened
condition brought it back again, but
why it should have resumed operations
at such am opportune time l cannot
say. 1 can say, though, that never
slept on my post again" and the officer
chuckled to think of his narrow es-
cdpe.-Washingt Star.

Why, there the sunbeams are.
And when they peep through her rosy lips,
Her laughter rings near and far.

WHEN WIDOWS WE'D.
What They Must DO and Wear to Bo Per-
fectly Up-to-D Date.

fectly Up-to-Datc.
Etiquette governing the wedding OF
widow has been recently reorganized,
and, temporarily at least, is finding
high vogue among certain great ladies'
who are making second matrimonial
ventures. The widows engagement
ring is now peridot, which in reality
is an Indian chrysolite and deep leaf
green i'll color. The peridot ring is set
about with diamonds; and when it
arrives the lady gives her first engage
ment-ring to her eldest daughter, and
her wedding-ring to her eldest son,
One week before the wedding state-
ly luncheon is given to the nearest and
dearest of the old friends of the bride
to-be. After the engagements an
nuoncement she appears at no public
functions. AT the altar her dress may
be of any subdued shade of satin. To
make up for the absence of veil and
orange-blossoms, profusions of white
lace trim the skirt and waist of tho
bridal gown en- secondes noces. Even
the bonnet is of white lace, and the
bouquet is preferably of white orchids;
and up the aisle the lady goes, hand in
hand with her youngest child, no mat
ter whether it is a boy or girl. The
little one wears an elaborate white cos
tune, holds the brides bouquet, and
precedes the newly married pair to the
church door. Where there is large
family of children and desire on the
widows part for a trifle more display
than is usually accorded on such oc-
casions, all of her daughters, in light
gowns and bearing big bouquets, sup
port their mother at the altar.
An informal little breakfast now fol-
lows the ceremony. Such breakfast
is scarcely more than light, simple
luncheon, served from the buffet,
wound up by wedding cake and toast
ing posset; but the bride of a second
marriage does not distribute cake nor
her bouquet among her friends. Her
carraige horses do not wear favors,
either, though shoes and rice can be
freely scattered in her wake; and, to
the comfort and economy of her friends,
she does not expect anything elaborate
in the way of wedding gifts.-Demor-
est's Magazine.
