Engines used in electric lighting are
required to run with great regularity.
An interesting device for detecting.
with extreme accuracy. any change OF
speed in such an engine is employed in
an Elizabethport factory. Two metal
plates are pierced with corresponding
Sits and placed one in front of the
other so that, when the slits are in
line, the spokes of the fiy-wheel of the
engine can be seen passing them. One
OF the plates Is caused to oscillate. by
means OF an electro-magnet, at such
rate that the two sllts are In line
every time spoke is passing. II there
are six spokes in the wheel, and the
wheel turns 400 times in a minute. the
movable slit must oscillate 400 times
in minute. II the speed of the en-
gine is perfectly regular, a spoke Will
always be seen directly in line with the
Sits; II the speed varies the spoke

distinguished from the fresh flower it
self. Though not lasting, this is un-
doubtedly the favorite. The next in
popularity is crushed rose, which does
not smell the least bit like the ordinary
extract of that flower. but like the old
fashioned rose-jar. A tiny drop of the
double extract on one womans hand
kerchief will give a room the subtle,
spicy perfume for which the rose-jar
was so much desired, while the same
perfume used as sachet makes ones
clothes smell as though fresh rose
petals had been strewn among them.
The third claimant for popularity is
wild clover, and makes the girl whose
favorite ii is remind one of breath of
spring itself. This, 1t is claimed, is the
most lasting of the three. and a few
drops on ones handkerchief will last as
long as the article itself, neither wash

The latest use of the sachet is for
scented clothes hooks. The ordinary
wire eXtender for bodice or skirt is
padded with cotton batting, thickly
sprinkled with sachet powder Over
them is drawn a silk or muslin bag,
shirred full around the shank of the
extender. or tied with ribbons, so that
they may be easily removed when there

HOMEMADE SKIN TONES.

Greasiness of the skin generally
arises from lack of cleanliness or de
bility of the skin. Only an astringent
has any effect upon it, and very sim
pie and entirely harmless one may be
made from one pint of rosewater, half
pint of white wine vinegar, and a few
drops of the essence of rose. This lotion
should be applied with soft linen rag,
or a fine sponge.
Blackheads are difficult to get rid of,
once they appear. They are caused by
the clogging of the pores of the skin
by dust or foreign matter Alcohol, 80
per cent, applied by means of a piece of
ckamOis skin, will give tone to the skin
and remove the unsupported dust and
dirt, at the same time stimulating the
small glands and removing, by constant
use, the blackheads.
Tan and freckles may be removed by
the following lotion: Two drachms of
powdered sal ammoniac. four fluid

CURRY FOR FOUR PEOPLE.


CURRY FOR FOUR PEOPLE.
Melt in the frying pan four ounces of
butter. or its equivalent CT fine lGcca
oil. Slice one large onion into this, and
bring TO a golden brown. Remove the
cnions, and chop up fine to be added
later on, leaving the butter in the pan.
Stir in the pan teaspoonful of currs-
paste. Add one and cne-half pounds
OF raw meat, cut into small pieces, add
to this half cup of hot water. and
cook over a brisk fire for 10 or 20 min
utes. adding from time 10 time a little
water as needed. Too much water will
make stew of it-not curry.
II will improve the curry much TO
with little oil or vinegar. and add at
the time the meat is put in.
The natives of India grind these chill
lies on a smooth fiat stone like tab
let, using a long round one in the
hands, adding from time To time lit
tie oil. water or vinegar until seeds
and all are ground into a perfect paste
The flavor this addition gives curry
is delicious
Cocoanut milk may be added TO the
curry instead of water as it is cooking,
also the cocOanut itself grated fine. If
the cocoanut is not used four or five
slices of lemon may be added.
1t is important to get the paste in
preference to the powder. as it is much
better The very best is exported from
Calcutta by native dealers. and may be
had from importers of native goods.
Beef, mutton. chicken, oysters may
be all used as curry makers. 1t is i'm
portant that the meat should be raw.
Cooked meats do not make good cur
ries.
Oysters, crabs and clans are delicious
curried.
The cooking of the rice is as impor-
tant a matter as the curry itself. The
commOneSt coolie in India would not eat
the starchy compound served up gen.
orally in America as boiled rice.

Taut, trig sailor hats are making
themselves unusually conspicuous with
their narrow bands of fringed taffeta
ribbon. The fringed ends are so ar
ranged as to flutter over the brims
edge, and since extravaganza must be
carried to its extreme, we now have
hats of shirred straw. These, woven
in two colors, need only a scarf of mus
lin, having lace ends, twisted about the
crown by way of trimming, to develop
into as charming garden hats as any
woman could wish.
Another attractive type of rustic hat
is woven with sugar loaf crown and
rich lattice brim, half of chiffon and
half Of satin straw, and needs no trim
ming save a muslin scarf in Roman
stripes with silk fringe.
