Household Hints

Foreign physicians are recommend
ing the marrow bone for a strengthen
ing diet and tonic. The marrow bone
is served upon a piece of hot, dry
toast When it is to b. eaten the
marrow is taken out and spread upon
the toast. 1t is also served upon small
portions of fillet of beef, and in this
manner is considered a desirable
course for luncheon parties
An excellent sweetmeat to serve with
ice cream is made from pears pre-
served with slices of green ginger
root. Cut the pears and root both in
small pieces, and use juicy, well fla
vored fruit that is not too ripe. a
quart of this preserve is all that will
be necessary for a good-sized family,
as teaspoonful, often less, is all one
will want Of this piquant sweet.
Oak furniture is better for being
rubbed with linseed oil, in which some
alkanet root has been STEPPED, and
then brushed with a brush stiff enough
to go into every crevice of the carving.
Ordinarily an application of beeswax
and polishing cloths is sufficient, but
the oil and the root preserve the wood
and keep the furniture in an excellent
color ana appearance. The tlme-hOn-
ored beeswax and turpentine, used by
our grandmothers for polishing furni-
ture, are still as good a polisher as can
be found.
If a blister is found in wall paper
after it is hung, take a pen knife, care

camels hair brush in a little paste,
and paste the cut surface down. Go
over the spot lightly with a small ham
nler, and when the paste is dry the
blisters have disappeared, and the doc

The LATEST in Gloves

The law of the glove is ineXorable
Glace kid is correct for street wear,
for making calls and for driving. Suede
is used for evening wear and for most
ceremonious occasions. Long black
suede or glace kid gloves, worn with
elbow sleeves, if there is but a soupcon
of black about the gown. give very
smart finish to ones toilet Glace kid
in pearl gray and delicate shades OF
straw color have supplanted white,
which has long been worn with tailor
froclzs and street gowns generally. For
evening wear, suedes in white, tan,
butter color, and even to match the
gown, are most fashionable, although
ihe latter is somewhat risque unless
the most delicate shades can be used.

Reducing EIectrO-HOrticultu to a


In consequence of the success which
has attended the experimental culture
Of flowers and vegetables by electricity
in America, some of the London hor-
ticulturists, who desire to be first at
Covent Garden with their early salads
a branch Of industry which is ex-
cecdingly pro6table-propose to install
the electric light in their forcing hous-
es. In the States the electric culture
of plants for commercial purposes has
now become a recognized industry.
This fact is mainly owing to the care
full compilation of da ia which has been
made by Prof. l.. H. Bailey, Of Cornell
University. Prof. Bailey shows that
the effect of the light is marked even
at a distance Of 100 feet; that the elec-
trio light does not determine the peri
odicity of growth; that increase under
the light occurs only during che first
days; that growth takes place in day
light as well as in darkness. His eX-
periments are thus summarized: The
influence OF the electric arc light upon
greenhouse plants is greatly modified
by the use of clear glass globe or the
interpOSition of a glass roof. Plants
which are much injured by d naked
light may be benefited by a protected
light. The light can be suspended even
above the house with good effect. AS
rule plants are earlier under the
electric light than when grown in Or
dinaTy conditions. Lettuce is greatly
forced and improved by the electric
light. All average Of five hours Of
light per night fastened maturity from
a week to ten days at the distance of
from 10 to 12 feet. Even at 40 feet,
in only diffused light, the effect was
striking. The light appeared to injure
young newly transplanted plants. Rad
ishes were also benefited by the light,
but not much. To do them any good
the light had to be hung outside the
house. If placed inside, whether naked
or protected by globe, it injured the
radishes. Beets and spinach We're ap-
parently some what benefited by the
light. Caulif1OWers grew taller and
made fewer and smaller heads, and
violets and daisies bloomed earlier in
the light house. This corroborates re-
suits obtained with other flowers in
earlier experiments. The electric light
does not appear to determine or modify
the hours of growth of lettuce and
some other plants which have been
studied in this particular. Plants which
are benefited simply grow more rap
idly during the customary periods.
These experiments have been extended
over six years, and the conclusions
reached are worthy of careful attention
as based on independent scientific in
vestigations.

WEDDING ETIQUETTE.
Some Useful Information About This
Important Ceremony.

Some Useful Information About This
Important Ceremony.
A reader writes to me on this point
and to her in particular, with my best
wishes for her own coming wedding,
and six other brides, + devote the fol
lowing lines on the etiquette of ''the
eventful day."
Every present received should be at
once acknowledged. The bridegroom
acknowledges those addressed to him;
the bride those sent to her. Even
should the bride not personally know
the kind sender of her gifts, she writes
in the first person, thus: Dear Mrs.
So an &c." and cordially expresses her
thanks. It sometimes happens that
friends of the bridegroom prefer to ad-
dress their offerings to the bride-elect.
In that case, letter of thanks from
both is a graceful acknowledgment.
Cake is sent out by many people di-
rectly after the event, but it is becom-
ing modish, especially when the we'd
ding is quiet one, not to follow this
old custom. When sent, it is forward
ed to all sorts and conditions of real
friends-the old family nurse, the gov
erness, the acquaintance made at hol-
iday times, whose close friendship has
not been seduously kept up, and so on.
It is pretty reminder of old times, a
kind gift-thought.
Cards, on the contrary, are sent to
friends whom the welded pair wish to
keep as visiting acquaintances. l de-
scribed one sent to me lately, shortly
after the marriage of Princess Maud.
It bore the name of the bride and
groom in the center, their address at
one corner, and their "at home days
at the other, and across the top left
hand corner was the brides maiden
name, with an arrow stuck through it.
1t was printed in silver. AT home''
weeks after the wedding, if conven-
lent before, but the cards should be
sent immediately after the wedding by
the brides mother or sister. Two days
a week for a month are usually chosen
by bride for her wedding at homes"

the bridegroom's family should be we'll

of things, outsiders. The father of the
bride devotes himself to the mother Of
the groom, or the representative Of
that lady, and vice versa, the other
heads Of the houses go together. 1t is
a painful sight at a wedding, when the

Lii Hung Chang as a telegraph
Pioneer

The greatest interest shown by Ii
Hung Chang in telegraphy while in
this country is not surprising when it
is known that the present development
in telegraphic work in China is owing
almost entirely to his enlightened ef-
forts. 1t is rs years since telegraph
engineers were sent to China to COLI
struct the first cables. The scheme
was strongly opposed by the Chinese
commercial firms and houses, as they
saw that the extension of the telegraph
lines would deal a severe blow to their
supremacy by putting an end to great
speculations, and by enabling the small
merchants to keep in touch with the
markets all over the world. When
the cables were laid down. however.
they were used by both Europeans and
Cinnamon, but by the latter in any
thing but a legitimate way They cut
Off large sections of the copper and
steel wires and turned them into nails
for tea boxes. After awhile the ad-
vantages of running the lines into the
interior of the country suggested them
selves, but it was ten years before
permission could be got to extend the
service. The country was at length
surveyed, and the building of the line
by the engineers was commenced.
When thirty miles had been put up
it was torn down by the population
under the pretext that the sound of
the wind playing Through the wires
prevented the dead from sleeping in
their graves; that it was offensive to-
the "Fungshui." and that it attracted
evil spirits. At this juncture Ii Hung
Chang came to the rescue, and since
the year 1880 telcglruphy has gone for
ward in China. A contract was given
for esta blisling a land line between
Shanghai and Iien-Tsin, and a tele-
graph school for young Cinnamon at
the latter place. This was considera-
ble work. The line had length of
800 miles ,and entailed the erection
of no less than 21, 900 telegraph poles,
besides the crossing of several rivers
by cable. The whole was done in five
months. All the superstitious fears of
the natives vanished as soon as it be-
came known that the work was carried
out at the instigation of China's most
eminent and all-powel.ful statesman.
From that moment a network of tele-
graph lines began to stretch out over
the country, and it now extends to the
relnotest frontier of the immense en-
pire.

Nerve Power Demonstration

Dr. A. w. Waller has shown that
the isolated living nerve can be stim-
ulated at regular intervals, and a ser
les of electrical responses graphically
recorded; but that various chemical
reagents alter the character of the re-
sponse. The nerve is practically sub
mitted under this method to a question
and answer at short required intervals,
the question being constant, and the
answer varying with the state of the
nerve. The method lends itself to
large range Of inquiries. Doctors find
that by it the action of anaesthetic, Sc
datives and stimulants can be deter
mined with an almost incredible ac-
clracy, and the consequent gain to
science is inestimable Among other
demonstrations, DR.. Waller has estab-
lished the dangerous character Of chlorj
cform as compared with ether. His
experiments confirms the position Of
those who decline to administer chloro-.
form where ether is not at all permis-
sible. VI #sa
