aNativis,np In Paris.

The directors Of the Paris Grand Opera,
in answer to criticisms that, although
subsidized, they were producing foreign
instead of French works, recently drew
up list by which they showed that
during tho past 90 years they had
mounted SO operas by Frenchmen and
only by foreigners, the two outsiders
being Wagner and Verdi. NJ Maurel,
the Partisan critic, has now carried the
statistics back to the beginning of the
century.
1t seems that the last generation of
Frenchmen were not so particular as to
the nationality of musicians. From the
year 1900 down to the present time the
Paris Grand Opera has produced works
by 100 French and 80 foreign composers
On the other hand, it appears that only
1894 performances of French operas
have during this period been given, as
against s, l49 representations of works
by foreign musicians. The French writer
laments that his cempatriots preferred
foreign works, although i'll fairness it
should be said that the list probably in
cludes the operas of Meyerbeer, Rossini
and other great masters of a previous
generation, who, although not French
by birth, were practically Partisan by
adoption London News.

How the Gorgeous Beauty Bursts From
His Ugly Outer Shell.
Last summer / noticed milkweed
caterpillar travelling across the piazza
floor, evidently in search of his final
shelter. We secured him temporarily
under a tumbler, but there, to our sur
prise, he proceeded to spin his little
web and hang himself head downward
from the bottom Of the covering glass
in such wise that in the course OF two
days we saw the whole process of change,
even to the splitting Of the caterpillar
skin and the final wriggle from it that
changed him into the most exquisite
transparent, nile green chrysalis, but
toned with gold. Toward the end of two
weeks this began to grow opaque, and
gradually we saw from under it the
thorax, antenn@, head, wings and abb
dominal rings in perfect coloring OF
black and red. One fine morning he
burst his outer shell Of sin and Matched
himself not ga cherubim," but a
more tangible aerial creature, though
not able to float off at once, as perhaps
even cherubim do not. No; his wings
were only as big as dime pieces. And
still the wonder grew as we watched
them grow and unfold under our eyes
in breathless amazement, and one at
least in reverence and awe. 1t seemed
such definite change from death into
life. 1t was not SO difficult then to i'm

Mrs. Browning says:

And calculating profits, so much help

We gloriously forget ourselves and plunge

Impassioned for its beauty and salt of truth
IT'S then we get the right good from book
It must be remembered that the wom-
an who wrote this was a profound
scholar, one who delighted in hard study
and who was educated far beyond most

"plunge soul forward" into many books
besides sensational novels. The rule does

How to Boil a Ham.

Few housekeepers understand how to
boil a ham properly. There are three
distinct processes to be observed. First,
the soaking and scrubbing of the meat;
second, the boiling proper, and, finally,
the preparation of the ham for the table.
The first process is too often perfunctor-
lily performed. The ham is usually
washed of and left to soak over night
without any regard to the time it has
been cured. Now, fresh.eured hams re.
quire soaking but a night, or even five or
six hours will sometimes suffice; but an
old ham may we'll soak from thirty.six to
forty-eight hours, according to its age.
A sweet sugar-cured domestic ham OF
last falls curing, requires about twelve
hours soaking. A genuine Westphalia
ham would probably need forty-eight
hours soaking. The foreign ham is
superior only in price to our best Ken
lucky ham or to the output of some OF
the fancy farms which make a speciality
of feeding and curing PORK in a superior
manner.
Begin by %scrubbing and scraping the
ham, using a miniature brush of stiff
bristles. Such a brush may be purchased
at any counter of household notions for
five or eight cents, and several brushes
ought to be on hand. When the ham is
as clean as it can be made remove the
thigh booze with a keen, edged boning
knife, skewer 1t in shape and put it m
cold water to soak. Save the thigh bone
to add to the stock and give a slight
piquant favor too often missed in our
otherwise well favored American soups
and sauces. When the ham is well
soaked it will yield readily to the press
ure of the hand. When the ham has
stood six hours in water in summer
change it and continue 10 change Tie
water every six hours until it is fit to
boil. In winter once in twelve hours ia
enough to change the water. Each time
you change TIE water scrape off the Shiny
surface quite sure to be present il the
ham is a real Westphalia.
When the ham is ready to boil rinse
and serape it off carefully for the last
time, and plunge it into clear, cold water.
Let it come slowly to the boiling point.
1t is upon the care of the cook at this
second period that success depends. The
ham must be sin,mered, never boiled
hard. 1t must be cooked in abundance
of water and in a tightly covered kettle.
A soup digester is the best kettle in
which to cook a small lean ham, weigh
ing from seven to eight pounds. This is
the proper size for boiling.
Let the ham cook slowly for about five
hours, or until it is tender and the bone
left in it is loose. 1t should now u
removed from the fire and uncovered and
set where it will cool in the liquor in
which it was cooked. When the water
is cold, take out the ham; it is ready to
be skinned and prepared for the table in
a multitude Of ways.
The most common msthod is to sprinkle
it with very little sugar, then with a few
bread crumbs. Dot the surface of the
ham with spots of pepper the size of a
three-cent piece, and roast it in a very
quick oven for about half an hour.

Practice and Precept.

Mrs. Swellton was impressing little

Just then the servant came in.
"Mrs. De Highly is at the door," she
whispered to her mistress.
"Whatl that %impudent old gossip ?
Tell her Pm out, of course"
The servant disappeared and delivered
the message.
Willie listened in silence to these pro.
ceedings, not a little overwhelmed with q
new sense of realization.
