Poster Party Popular PaStime.
This is one of the most amusing en-
that can be given by the
modern hostess, who in each invitation
must suggest to the invited guest what
poster or picture or magazine she is
to copy in her costume. In preparing
these dresses the material used can be
as expensive or as cheap as desired.
The soft clinging effect Of cheesecloth
serves an excellent purpose for the
Egyptian and Grecian figures SO often
seen. These costumes are contrived
and made with very little labor. and II
artistically copied are beautiful and
becoming. The gentlemen are expected
to inform themselves of the politics,
religious views. ETC., Of the publication
they individually represent and ad-
vance and air them with becoming en-
ergy. The ladies very cleverly. as a
rule, take up some noticeable feature
of the book or magazine casually some
feminine within or fancy. and exagger-
ate 1t in an amusing way. From these
suggestions guesses are made as to the
characters, books, ETC.. represented and
the prizes awarded accordingly. The
refreshments served are very light
and the prizes subscriptions to maya
zines or newspapers. This covers the
fun. but the charity, unless the affair
is given with regular tickets, depends
upon silver offering at the door, OF

Kitchen Craft.

Just why asparagus should be
marketed with q stalk several inches
long, at least one-third Of which has to
be thrown away, is mystery. Surely
nothing is gained by thus taxing the
vitality Of the plant. Yet when q more
progressive gardener tried the experiment
of sending baskets of short, tender stalks
into the Boston market, the dealers were
not able to sell them. People evidently
thought that they we're not getting the
worth Of their money; quantity was more
desirable than quality.

The Discipline OF Children.

"About the worst thing parents can
do is to discuss the failings Of children
before them," says writer in the Wash
ington Star. "The next worst thing ls
for one parent to attempt to punish the
child and the other parent protest
against it. Either action will damage
the respect Of the child for one or the
other Of its parents, and if there is one
thing more than another that parents
want to preserve, it is their dignity be-
fore their children. A child who gets
the idea that one parent Is at variance
with the. other on the question Of
discipline will make both unhappy and
render itself decidedly Objectionable by
playing off one parent against the other.

Shall We Send Our Boy to COllege9

Agriculture is the material basis Of q
nations strength and prosperity. We
could dispense with either lawyers,
doctors or ministers better than we could
with farmers Probably we should not
quarrel so much If there we're fewer stu
dents of the law; should not be sick 80
much if there were fewer students Of
medicine, and should not be 80 wicked if
there were fewer students Of theology.
All Of these could contribute literally to
the ranks of the agrioulturists with
advantage to the professiors and to the
grain and vegetable markets. am not
disparaging anybody, neither am ! say
ing that it would not be a good thing, in
itself considered, if every one, however
material or menial his occupation, could
receive all that the finest school or
college training could confer; but that
is not practicable at present, and never
will be till people get over thinking
that there is q disgrace attaching to the
doing Of ordinary things. I am often
called upon by those who are not ashamed
to beg, but who would blow out their
brains or jump into the North river be-
fore they would soil their hands by
shoveling gravel. They are frequently
college graduates who got just enough
Greek and Latin to think that manual
labor was degrading, but not enough
Greek and Latin to guarantee tFem
against the pOorhouse. They illustrate
the point already made that colleges
unfit men Rs we'll as fit them. This is
one matter, then, that parents need to
think over when considering the question

Some cooks decry the use OF sour milk
in cookery because Of the difficulty Of
mixing it smoothly with other ingredi-
ents, and a bit of sour curd is decidedly
unpleasant thing to meet in corn cake
or muffin. This is obviated by few
vigorous whirls Of the egg.beater in the
bowl or pitcher which contains the sour
milk. The curds and whey are thus
smoothly mixed, and the thick milk can
be poured from one dish to another as
easily as cream.
The proper proportion Of soda is one
hall Of a level teaspoonful to each cup
ful of thick sour milk. AS gas begins to
escape as soon as the acid meets the
soda, the latter should not be dissolved
in the milk, but like baking powder
should be sifted with the -four.

Devoted to Her For Seventy Years.

A romance in real life at Quebec is
revealed by the death within few
hours of each other Of two Of the oldest
and most important citizens Of Quebec,
Chevaler Louis de Gonzsgue Baillairge
and Mile. Julie Tessier, both Of them 81
years Of age. They were near ueighbors,
and nearly seventy years ago were en-
gagged to be married. Both were wealthy
and belonged to leading Canadian fami-
lies. The lady was sister of the late
Judge Tessier of the Court Of Queens
Bench. Mr.. Baillairge received his title
Of CheValier from the Pope. For many
years past he had maintained four mis-
sionary churches, one in each Of the four
quarters Of the world, besides contrib
uting hundreds Of thousands Of dollars
to the construction Of Roman Catholic
churches and converts in Quebec. He
was the owner Of the famous Drspeau de
Carlton, the old flag for which the
French Canadian people have such a
sentimental reverence, from the fact that
it was brought back from the expedition
Of 1853 to Lake Chsmplain and Lake
George
Many years ago Mr.. Baillairge furnished
handsome residence on st. Louis
street, which has never been occupied
since. For some reason, known only to
the principals in the affair, the marriage
never took place. The furnished house,
with its antique mahogany cabinet ware
and massive old silver, has remained
under lock and key for over half q
century. During all those year the in
timacy between the couple had lasted,
and, unless prevented by illness, the
Chevalier had called daily upon the lady.
A couple of weeks ago he called upon
her without being able to see her. She
was i'll. He went home, took to his bed,
and died. For some days they kept the
news from her. When she heard Of it
she rapidly grew worse, and within a
few hours followed her lifelong friend
and courtly admirer into the great un-
known.--NeIO York Sun.
