Reception gowns are very elegant and
original this season. often recalling histor
ical models. The hostess sometimes chooses
u particular style of attirc-cmpirC, tudor
or othcr---and clings to hat for her reccp-
tion toilets, relying solely upon differences
of color and trimming for variety.
Princess gowns are more and more la
mode, especially for wedding toilets. White
satin is, Of course, the preferred material,
as usual. There is seldom any change of
fashion as tai as that goes. The style of
making is simple in the extreme, accord
of the princess costume must be perfect.
The train is usually round and very long.
The gown fastcns at the side or, more
newly, down the middle Of the back with
lacings or buttons. The collar is high, the
sleeves long, and costly lace is the decOra
ton par excellence.

MecliRval Bells,

The medieval bells now surviving
are comparatively few in number. In
Surrey, out of l,030 bells, only trif1e
over 2 per cent were found to date be-
fore the year 1000. In Lincolnshire the
proportion was l7.5. In Norfolk about
one bell in six dates before the reign of
Elizabeth. The monastery bells seem to
have vanished when the monasteries
were suppressed. Some disappeared in
private hands; others We're sold by the
crown. The augmentation rolls show
that in Henry Wis reign one lot of
10000 pounds of bells and bell metal
was sold for 5000, with license to "con-
yey, utter and scll' TIT same beyond
seas. A very few monastery bells still
hang in stu. Forde Abbey, in Dorset,
still possesses cue Of the old bells, cast
by the BrasyerA who had Il foundry at
Norwich about the fifteenth century,
bearing their foundry stamp and hand

How to Make Buckeye CroquetteA.

Clean a calf's head and split it to re-
move the brains. Lay the brains ir
earthen dish, cover with water and ado
half a teaspoonful Of salt. Put the head
in a kettle with water enough to fairly
cover it. Boil slowly until the meat
will fall from the bones. Skim, then
remove the kettle from the stove and
allow it to stand until cool enough to
handle the meat. Then cut 1t from the
bones and chop finely. Add 2 beaten
eggs, a dozen leaves of sage rubbed
fine, a quill Of garlic (which may be
omitted), saltspoonful Of salt, one
fourth saltspoonful of pepper and the

How to Pack Butter,

Get the butter in good condition as
soon as possible after churning and pack
it firmly in gallon or half gallon jars.
Those containing 5 or 6 pounds are
preferable. When the jars are bought,
ask the seller as he marks the weight of
each to number them, SO tl1at'a fecord
of the amount of butter in each jar can
readily be kept. Pack the jurs, level
full, tie round piece Of strong thick
cloth over the top and place it bottom
side up in new, large crock. Do not
pack butter made at different times in
the sane jar, but store only those jars
that can be filled at one churning.
Make strong brine, using all the salt
the water will absorb. adding to each
gallon a teaspoonful Of saltpeter and
tcaspoonful Of granulated sugar. Scald
the brine and skim it thoroughly. When
cold strain through wet, thick cloth
into the crock. Add more brine from
time to time to keep the jars covered
9 inches in depth. Tie a thick cloth
over the crock to protect from dust and
over this piece Of woolcn cover to ex
clude the light.
De not keep the crock On the cellai
floor. even if it is a cement one, hut on
a platform, if possible, with slate un-

Showers of Blood.

Showers of blood-bona tide, genuine
blood, or, at any rate, having the same
properties-are by no means uncommon
Oh tho Mediterranean coast and in some
parts of Italy. This rain has been an
alyzed and undoubtedly contains several
of the mineral constituents Of human
blood. The sanguinary character Of the
downfall is owing to tho presence Of u
thick dust which impregnates the atmos.
pherc and which contains considerable
quantity of red oxide Of iron. The peas
ants, however, regard these showers
with a supcrstitious awe which no sci.
entifo explanation can allay.

The hideous cases Of skin disease
which have been the despair of women
and girls have in the course of few
mnrtbs of proper cleansing and friction
yielded and given way to beautiful sat-
my compilations, free from every blem-
ish. No simple washing or bathing will
do this, although such ablutions be per-
formed six times day. There is no
puritication of the skin and no cure for
diseases resulting from obstrqeted pores
except soap, water and friction. En-
larged pores and many of the simple
skin diseases need no other treatment.
Those who cannot afford to employ
a masseuse or to take course Of lessons

word "masso" is the keynote Of the

bowling on the last three frames. For
Jersey City Meyer rolled 23 in the first
game, Brown 100 in the second, and
Holmes 191 in the third. The leader for
Montclair was Harrison, who was high
