THE HOUSEHOLD.
Expensive Cooking Utensils-Five Pref
~ Pinoushions Sixteen TO
One Pudding.

Marie Antoinette in the Petit Trianon
sould not have played at domestic tasks
with the elegance of the modern woman
Of leisure il the latter had desire to
undertake homely duties. Every one
knows the elegance of modern table
service. Silver baking dishes are in
cluded now in dishes for the table. All
sorts of kitchen utensils find their way
into the dining room now that the
chatting dish is in high favor. Still
coffee mill is not dining room feature.
They may be bought in solid silver for
Sl75. What coffee might not be ground
in a $l75 coffee mill, and what pleasure
might there not be in the grinding !
Then if mamma in her elegant kitchen
wishes TO please the children she pops
corn for them in a solid silver corn pop
per- with an ebony handle, and she
cores the apples for her apple pudding
with solid silver apple corer that costs
not less than 1878
For mixing her cakes she uses the
beautiful Russian lacquer bowls in
many colors, but fired so many times
that the colors cannot be removed by
vinegar, oil or hot liquids. The bowl
will last for years and is light and easy
to handle. A bowl big enough to make
the cake for an old fashioned Christmas
tea party costs only 81, and smaller
ones are even less expensive For all
kinds of baking and cooking on the top
of the stove there are pretty little and
big japanese dishes, which have been
subjected to 1000 degrees heat and will
not crack or break. Even the everyday
woman who is obliged to be more or
less among the pots and pans may do
something to approach the elegance
which surrounded the beautiful French
queen in her play labors. New York

be pure in heart. If you are not pure in

"My dear man." said the waiter,
"that order will hardly do. We have
over 500 different ways of cooking eggs,
and you will be pleased to make sug-

of paralyzing the customers tongue for
awhile, and he finally recovered enough
to whisper in awe, Scramble 'em.

when 0unpoy,der was New.

A curious feature about this evolu
ton in methods Of hunting was the
hesitation with which gunpowder was
taken up by the great MOBILES Not only
did it take quite century TO familiar
iZe hunters with it, but the evidence
that has come down to Us shows that
the humble classes were the first to use
it for shooting game. Macmillan, ar
dent sportsman that he was, tells us
himself that he could shoot farther and
with greater accuracy with his crossbow
than his keeper could with the fire tube.
To prove this he tells US the well
known story of a certain chamois stand
ing at Il distance of 200 fathoms, which.
after being pronounced as too far off by
his henchman, who was armed with
one of the first sporting firearms men
toned in print. comes tumbling down,
pierced at the first attempt, by the en-
peror's bolt.
From other sources we learn Of strict
measures being adopted to prevent
poachers and "woud loafers" using fire
arms, and this at period when princes
still used the cumbrous crossbow and
spear. 1t was only in the last quarter
of the sixteenth century tnat firearms
had ousted other weapons for certain
forms of the chase, the deer battue be-
ing among the latter. -Gentleman' 8

How to Enamel Chairs.

Shabby windsor OF bent wood chairs
can be made to look smart enough for
bedroom or "dep" by being painted
over with black enamel paint. If, when
the enamel be dry, little bronze paint
be smeared or smudged over them, a
"Japanesy effect will be obtained,
which will be very pleasing and great
relief to their somber appearance. The
expressions "smeared" and "smudged"
are used advisedly. for the bronze should
be put on with an almost dry brush,
and should merely cling to the hair so
that they may leave certain amount
of color when they are dragged over the
black enamel To regularly paint on
the bronze would be to lose the pretty
effect sought

Mr.. Marcus Stone, the English artist,
was when a young man much associated
with Dickens as an illustrator Of "Our
Mutual Friend" and of "Great Expeo-
tations 4" He notes that Dickens char
acters were so positively real TO him
that the artists never had the least diff
Guilty in learning all about them from
him.
"When, - says Mr.. Stone, II had TO
90 TO him and get instructions and hints
as TO the characters l had to draw, / al
ways got clear and definite answer,
except on two occasions. You will re-
member that Silas Wegg, in Our Mu-
tual Friend, had a wooden leg. l asked
Dickens which leg it was. He gave me
an answer which turned out TO be
wrong. The other occasion was this:
When he was discussing the cover or
the story, he said that one of the scenes
in is should be the death of Eugene
Raeburn. You will remember that Eu
gene Raeburn does not die. Hissreator
relented at the last moment and allowed
him TO live.
Anthony 1roilope, the artist says,
was just the reverse of this. "He did
not seem to take anything like the same
interest in his characters as Dickens.
When / would ask him question about
one of his characters, his answer nearly
always was, i don't know Had the
young lady fair hair or dark | would
ask. Il done know, was the reply.
"Was she tail or middle sized or small!"
