A New York weekly says that the young
men in the Waldorf cafe of an after
noon are not the same as those who used
to frequent Delmonico's. The old crowd
in Delmonico's was made up largely of
stockholders, and the entire talk was
about stocks. In fact, many a man who
is not a New Yorker has been driven
in sheer WEAKNESS out of that city at
times at the incessant stock-ticker talk
of his New York acquaintance Now it
seems that the swells in the Waldorf
are idle young men, sons of wealthy
families who consider it "bad form
to know much about stocks or business
in short, who look upon going down to
Wall street as a swell Londoner looks
upon going "to the city" They know
the leading lights of the footlights, but
they know nothing about stocks.

Your blood in Spring is almost certain to
be full of impurities-the accumula-

tilation of sleeping rooms, impure air

of the kidneys and liver properly to do
extra work thus thrust upon them, are
the prime causes of this condition. 1t is

People unfamiliar with France may
not know how intense is the respect still
felt for the old nobility. They may
understand how deep it is when we say
that the consent of the Duke of Charities
to the marriage Of his daughter to Duke
Patrick. son of the Dowager-Duchess of
Magenta and widow of Marshal Mac
Mahon. has amazed all France. Yet
Marshal MacMahon was brave soldier,
of good family, and his wife was of an
old French noble family. Still they
were parvenu, because they were of the
nobility of the Third empire. His title
of duke was conferred upon MacMahon
by Napoleon the Third. The entire Mac
MahOn family was overcome with the
honor conferred upon them by a daughter
of the house of Orleans marrying one of
their sons.

Now that Lent is over, the Creole girls
in New Orleans are looking for answers
to their prayers. For during Lent the
Creole girl INDUCES in the matrimonial
neuvaine. This means nine-day pc
riod of fasting and prayer for some spe-
cial object The special object is gen
orally good husband. The Creole girl
like her relative the French girl, does
not like to remain unmarried. She wants
a husband and she wants one openly
and earnestly. 1t is very common to
see the Creole girls in New Orleans pray
ing at the shrine of st. Joseph during
Lent. st. Joseph, for some reason, is
supposed to have a powerful pull. There
are little images of ST. Joseph moulded
in lead for sale in New Orleans at 5
cents apiece. The girls carry these
images around with them. They tell a
story of one who had carried her little
Ieaden st. Joseph until both he and
her patience were almost worn out. Dis
gusted, she took her saint and threw
him out of the window. A young man
was passing at that moment, and the
st. Joseph alighted at his feet. Dear
mer' he said, picking it up, NOW some
poor girl has lost her st. Joseph. We'll.
I'll Just take it back to her" SO he rang
the bell, and was ushered in by the
young person who had just thrown her
ST. Joseph away. Result: case of
love at first sight Further result y

lieve in the power of st. Joe?-Argonaut.

Cucumber Pickles.

A writer in the Home and Farm
gives the following recipe for making
cucumber pickles:
desired to know the best way Of keep
ing cucumbers for pickles.
l think that the best way is to keep
them in brine.
Gather them every day and do not
allow them to grow more than from
three to five inches long, which is the
incest size for pickles.
They should be gathered with care;
cut off near the vine, leaving little of
the stem on, and be sure to put up
none but those that are perfectly
sound.
Wash them and drop them in brine
water, to begin with, of two teacups-
full of salt to one gallon of water; Oc-
casionally add a handful of salt when
putting in more cucumbers. as the
water in the cucumbers weakens the
brine. If put up in a barrel, then get
a barrel-head that will slip into the
barrel and cover the cucumbers, this
must be weighted down as the cucum-
bers will become soft if allowed to
float on top of the brine. They will
keep this way for any length Of time.
When you wish to make pickles,
take out of the brine the quantity de-
sired and after washing put in a YES
sci and pour boiling water over them,
soak and change water two or three
times daily, pouring boiling water on
each time.
In two or three days the salt will
be soaked out; then wipe them dry
and put in a stone jar, adding few
onions. Put enough vinegar into a
pan to cover the cucumbers, set on the
stove to heat, add enough ground mus
tard, cinnamon, ginger, black or red
pepper and horse-radish to flavor the
pickle; when heated to boiling point,
pour over the cucumbers and let stand
till cold.
They may then be put in glass jart
| if desired and kept long time, but is
is not a good idea to make so many at
| once.
If the cucumbers do not seem firm
enough add little powdered alum to
the vinegar just before pouring over
the cucumbers.
Cabbage cut as for slaw, tied up in a
bag and kept in brine may be made
into pickle the same way or it is nice
for a winter dinner where the brine il
soaked out and the cabbage boiled in
ordinary way.
A good way to keep ants out o
stone jars is to make broad. heavy
mark of white school crayon all aroun(
the jar. They will never dare to cross
the mark.
