A Prince Comes Visiting.

Crown Prince William OF Prussia IS
expected to pay visit to the United
States next yeaf. This youth. the
heir apparent to the thl one OF the
German Empire, who is now in MS
eighteenth year, is an Intelligent,
well-bred and manly fellow. Like all
the six sons of Kaiser Wilhelm, he has
been carefully trained, especially IN
military matters. Prince Frederick
has been a colonel in the German
army since he was ten years Old. He
is fearless rider, an accomplished
fencer and as we'll educated all around
as is possible for a youth of his age.
Yet withal he is said to be quiet,
studious lad, fonder of his books than
OF his horse or his gun, and more
likely to defend his own country than
to attack others. Thanks to his SIM
pie out -of-door life, his health is e1-
cellent, and he is we'll grown and
physically perfect. - New England

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
To Keep Groceries.

Instead of keeping sugar, tea, oat.
meal and other groceries in the bags
in which they are sent from the store,
put them OF once in small wooden
boxes or large jars with tight-ftting
covers. A great deal of strength will
be lost if the groceries are kept care
lessly in the paper bags, besides the
untidy appearance of the pantry
shelves, the inconvenience aud the
waste that is sure to be great in the
course of the year by the tearing OF
the paper bags and the spilling OF the
contents over the pantry shelves.

Ball Guests and tho Spoons.

A curious document has just been
laid before the Paris Municipal Coun-
Gil. It consists OF list OF the objects
found to be missing on the morrow
of the ball given recently at the Hotel
de Vile by the Councillors to their
electors and friends. Some 1000
guests were invited, and between
them they made off with six dozen
silver spoons and 6S6 miscellaneous
articles, from plates to mustard pots,
from flower vases to napkins, removed
from the buffet. Otherwise the re-
suits are considered satisfactory, ''the
losses being less this year than on

something really exquisite. The Lord

that remain are fast falling into decay.

New Styles In Table.Linen.

The introduction of striped table.
linen this winter revives the fashion OF
twenty years ago, and the careful
housewife who has saved her table
cloths OF that back period can bring
them forth with the consciousness that
they are just in the fashion. Although
the stripes and patterns are somewhat
similar, the quality of the linen has
changed. The new designs come from
France, and the linen made in that
country is lighter than the Irish linen.
There is no real change in the patterns
of the Irish linen from year to year.
and as the materisl is heavy and dura'
BILE, it is more economical in the end.
The present-day striped linen comes
both with and without border. The
former has longitudinal stripes OF plain
damask about three inches wide, and
the latter quarter-inch damask stripes
with delicate hair-lines between. This
is called the thousand-line pattern, and
resembles the old designs moro than
the wide-striped tabie-cloths. The
French linen is not intended to lastas
long as the Irish or Scotch, for it de-
pends largely upon its changing de.
signs and styles to attract purchasers;
but for those who can afford it, very
artistic effects can. be produced. Only
the very wealthy can keep up with all
the changing fashions in table-cloths.
and the moderately wealthy find the
good old substantial Irish linens the
most serviceable for all purposes.
Round tables for the dining-room
are still in vogue, and the square or
long table has not yet come to sup.
plant them. One judges this from the
linen sales at the stores. The favorite
table-cloth this winter has been the
size marked four yards square. This
just fits the round table, and would
not be very serviceabie for the long,
square table.
Lace trimmings for table-cloths and
luncheon napkins are ultra now. The
Duchess lace and the point-de-Tenise
lace are the most fashionable for this
purpose; but the prices for them are
exorbitant. A small tsble-linen with
lace trimmings costs hundred or two
hundred dollars; but if one happens to
own the lace it is ON easy matter to
stitch it to the new table-cloths at
home. The lace should be perfectly
white. The butter -colored and ecru
laces are marked down to ore-third
their former prices. The New Voice,
