Nicknames For the States.

Many of the states in our great re-
public have nicknames which were
given for various reasons when the states
were new, and have chung to them, just
ms nicknames do to boys and girls. AS

was settled very early by the English
and was originally part of Massachu-
sets. 1t is called the Pine Tree or Lum-
Der State. New hampshire was named
for Hampshire county i'll England. It's
nickname is Granite State. Vermont,
at first part of New York, is proud Of
being tho first state admitted to the
original ID and is called the Green
Mountain State, as it's name implies.
Massachusetts, whose original name
was Massachusetts Bay, is called the
Old Bay State. Rhode Island is Little
Rhody," and Connecticut is the Wooden
Nutmeg State.
New York is proud of being the EN-
pire State. and Pennsylvania tho Key
stone State because it stands as the key

The Childhood OF Queen Victoria = a
Traveller and Some Monkeys-Nick-
names For the States.

at Kensington palace Queen Victoria
was born. and there she spent great
many of her childhood's days. Every
happy but rather dull days." the queen
herself says they were, for her wise
mother would permit no pomp or
show of royalty, and tho little princess
lived more simply than many Of her
young subjects do.
One day followed a1sJther with great
est regularity. Up with the lark and to
sleep i'll little French bed with chintz
hangings in her mothers room ut 8
o'clock after supper of bread and
milk. Breakfast was ut O'Clock, and
directly afterward the little girl mount
ed her white donkey, caparisoned with
blue ribbons, and rode round Kensington
gardens, an old soldier who had served
the Duke of Kent i'll his early days
holding the bride rein, while Il lady of
the household walked on the other side.
Every morning lessons had to be
learned in the palace, not very willing
ly, we arc told, until it was made clear
that mono could hope to read books I'M
less the alphabet and tho difficulties of
'c-a-t-cat' were mastered, where
upon tho little princess replied quickly,
Me learn, too, very quick" Her real
education commenced when she was 8.
With tutor tho princess then began to
study English, French and German, her
mothers native tongue, which she soon
learned to use when coaXing was need
ed. BY the time she was III Latin,
Greek, Italian. music and drawing had
been added to the list Of lessons.
Though sho had no playmatcs, tho
princess found no difficulty i'll amusing
herself. In u room on the top floor of
Kensington palace there still stands u
dolls house, hcadless horse and tho
model of a ship, which once were favor
lite toys. She was fond, too, of looking
ut pictures and imagining what the
people i'll them were saying to each 9TH
er. AS She got older she used to mako
her dolls act the scenes she read in her
story books or histories.
She was tho happy possessor of long
board full of pegs, into which tho feet
of her dolls fitted, and thus she could
rehearse court receptions or drawing
rooms or anything else she wished. Her
dolls numbered 1870, and list with
their names and histories was kept in q
copybook, and very grand personagcs
some of them were. But best of all she
liked live things-tho flowers she plant
ed and watered i'll her own plot of gar
den, animals of all kinds, but especial
ly dogs, and no ono could please her
better than by taking her to natural
history museum or Il wild beast show.

Answering Wedding Invitations.

The question of answering wedding
invitations has been much discussed. In
England and in France every invitation
is acknowledged and the American lady
who sends to an Englishman an invita-
ton to church wedding is very apt to
receive a note saying, "Mr. Aubrey
Smythe thanks Mrs. Wilson Hamilton
for her invitation to witness the mar
rage of her daughter, which he accepts
with much pleasure. In this connec-
ton The Ladies' Home Journal tells
that in the United States it seems to
be considered unnecessary to acknowl-
edge an invitation to church wedding
unless it includes an invitation to re-
ceptlon or sit down breakfast. In re-
gard to announcement cards it may DO
SAID that they pass unacknowledged un-
less they include cards to the BRIDES
first lat home" and then either per-
sonal call or card by post is required.

Tho tailor made shirt waist is consid-

waist mado to order is arranged more
Oh the shoulder, and it is fitted more
closely under the arm, both of which
points help TO make it more becoming
to the figure. Cotton waists of bingham

vivid colors are prominent in the dis
play, with many others of ribbed linen
and French batiste striped with various
colors and patterned over with rose
buds.

Various Ways of Preparing sweetbreads.
Answering Wedding Invitations.
Potato Crust.

Sweetbreads should lie in cold salt
water for an hour or more before being
cooked. Then put them into fresh wa
ter and cook them gently 30 minutes.
Throw the partly cooked sweetbreads
into cold water, and when they are cold
carefully remove the outer castings,
strings and veins without breaking the
sweetbreads into pieces. In whatever
way sweetbread is to be served, lard
ed and roasted, crumbed aud fried, stow
ed or broiled, it must first be parboil-
ed, then cooked as desired, and served
hot with an appropriate sauce.
A simple way of serving sweetbreads
is to cleanse and parboil them When
cold, split them in half, rub them over
with butter. and carefully broil them
over IL clear fire in double broiler,
turning them often. Lay them upon
squares of buttered toast, spreading but
ter upon the hot sweetbreads and sea-
soning them plentifully with salt and
pepper. Many like boiling cream pour
ed over sweetbreads so prepared.
For cream baked sweetbreads: Cleanse
one good sized pair of calves sweet
breads, and to the water in which they
are cooked add bay leaf, half dozen
peppercOrns and u slice of onion. Cook
them 30 minutes. then drop them into
clear water, and let them lie there I'M
til cold before picking them into small
pieces. Placo n saucepan over the fire
and put into it large tablespoonful of
butter. When it is melted stir in one
tablespoonful of flour, then add half Il
cup of the strained liquid in which tho
sweetbreads were boiled and half Il cup
OF cream. When tho mixture is boiling,
add tho prepared sweetbrcnds and few
chopped mushrooms. Cook ten minutes,
then take tho pan from the fire and i'm
mcdiately stir in the yolks of two eggs
previously beaten and season with salt
and cayenne pepper. Turn the mixture
into buttered baking dish, cover the
top with sprinkling of fried bread
crumbs and keep it in hot oven about
ten minutes and serve. If the mixture
is baked and served in individual china
baking cups, they will not require to be
in the oven quite as long.
A popular way of serving sweetbreads
Mt evening entertainments is in the lit
tie paper cases, preparing them as i'll
the foregoing recipe, using the yolks of
tho eggs or not, as desired. 4 few
chopped olives are often added to tho
mixture and are an improvements

coNvIcrs ESCAPE.

Once again prison bars of the state
penitenitary prove insufficient to hold
the convicts, as on Monday night Jas.
Turnbaugh and Jesse Coleman made
good their escape.
The men occupied cells one above
the other in the old cell house. The
roofs of these cells are brick. These
were dug out by using an old file.
Coleman, who was below made a very
small hole and was pulled through into
the cell above, leaving a dummy in his
bed to deceive the guards. A larger
hole was made through the upper cell
and the two men went out leaving a
dummy in that bed also. They crawl
ed around under the roof until they
came to skylight. Going to the south
end of the building they tied hair
rope around one Of the chimneys and
slid down to the ground.

to escape by Nez Perez convict re-
