THE FAIR SEX.

The women have to take so many
seedlings from their preachers in
church that it is too much to expect
that they also take seedlings from their
husbands. When a woman who can
afford new clothes wears those of an
old style the women explain it by say
ing she is so quaint" In many cases
1t is considered announcement enough
that a girl has made her debut in So
ciety when a stove is put up in the
parIor. The women to make their
homes look "restful" are putting so
many sofa pillows on the lounges that
man has to double up like a jack
knife to lie on them. The new hats
the women wear are never pretty to
the men; they have to get used to
them, the same as they get used to the
face of new cook in the kitchen.
But will they ever get reconciled to the
hats worn this year? They are ugly
enough to cause horses to shy; big
cowboy hats with a
quill in them that would tickle the
heart of fat old squaw. Widows
look well IN their mourning, chiefly for
the reason that women dress in too
gay colors, and look genteel for the
first time in their lives when compelled
to dress in sober attire. There are
in Atchison who dress
as gay as sixteen-year-old girl. It is
their right, but there are some rights
that should not be eXercised.-Atchi-
son Globe.

AN AMBIGUOUS REJOINDER.

My friend, the widow, who always
reminds me, by the way, of that
proverb of Oliver Herford's that "a lit
tie widow is a dangerous thing" has
been chaperoning series of supper
parties lately that have tested the
cuisine of every country resort within
20 miles. She says that the most de-
lightful thing that she has come across
is a waiter in an inn somewhere over
Anacostia way, who is as wise as it is
we'll for man to be. She asked him
on one lovely evening last week if
there were many guests at the inn.
mo, madam" he said, This is not
one of our busy nights"
What are your busy nights?" she
asked, for even widows are human
enough to have a little curiosity.
WELL" he answered, 1--WE has a
great many people here on Fridays, but
we always has most on Mondays and
rainy nights
Mondays and rainy nights!" said
the widow; why, how odd. Those are
just the very times when shouldn't
expect to find anybody at all here"
The waiter looked worldly and wise.
'Yes'm,'' he said; Il guess that what
they all thinks"
And the girl in pink organdie won
dered all the rest of the evening what
in the world the waiter meant.-From
the Washington Post.

STRAW HATS.

TO wear with summer gowns OF light
color there are most attractive hats OF
yellow straw trimmed with bright
flowers Some of these are in toquc
shape; others are broader, while Others
again are a little on the poke-bonnet
order, and are fastened under the chin
with strings either Of tulle or ribbon
This matter of bonnet strings is a SER
ious one to recommend rashly to the
world at large. To some faces there
is nothing so becoming as the strings.
while, on the other hand, nothing ca.
be more unbecoming; it is curiou'
what a difference it makes. The
strings on these large poke-bonnets
are put quite far back, and, as a rule.
are of soft tulle or chiffon, tying unde,
the chin in soft bow. but no long
ends. Older women who always wear
the bonnet strings have the narrow

MAXIMS OF JOUBERT.

The true bon-mot surprises him who
makes it as much as those who hear
it.
Few men are worthy of experience.
The greater part allow it to corrupt
them.
Perhaps for worldly success, we
ought to have virtues that make us be-
/ loved, and faults that make us feared.
Conceited people always seem to ne,
like dwarfs, to have the stature of
child, and the countenance of a man.
A little vanity, and little gratifica-
ton of the senses. These are what
make up the life of the majority of wo-
men and of men.
1t is never other peoples opinions
that displease us, but only the desire
| they sometimes show to impose them
upon us, against our will.
| We may fall into inconsistency
through error. 1t is a fine thing to fall
into it through truth, and then We
must throw ourselves into it headlOng.
The man who sings when he is alone,
and when, so to speak, his whole being
is at a standstill, shows by this alone
certain balance and harmony in his
CONDITIONAL his strings are in tune.
To receive benefits from sNne one is
surer way of gaining his affection
than to render him a service. The
sight of a benefactor is often irksCme,
while that of man we are benefting
is always pleasant. In loving him we
love our own handiwork.
Contradiction only irritates us, be-
cause it disturbs us in our peaceful pos
sessions of some opinion, or Of some
prominence. This is why it is more
irritating to the weak than to the
strong, and to the infirm than to the
healthy.

Census Ten Commandments.

/. And it shall come to pass in June
that Census of Agriculture will be
taken by the chosen men of the Nation,
who number two score and ter thou
sand
2. Upon a parchment, yea upon a
separate parchment which is called
schedule, the chosen men shall write
the chief things and the little things
of the farm, and the value of them.
3. But neither the wicked, nor the as
SCISSOR of many taxes, or the collector
thereof, shall serve with the chosen,
nor shall he look upon the returns to
know any mans property.
4. The anointed only from the census
shall lay hands on the returns ana
know the writings thereon. Whose do
eth more than this surely shall be pun
ished. Thus saith the law
5. The chosen people of the land, the
enumerators thereof, shall, swearing
solemnly, write upon the parchment,
yea, upon every parchment, the length
and breadth of every crop; verify, the
true sheckels' worth of all things upon
the farm in 1899 shall be summed up
on the blanks which the king of the
census giveth out, and they shall be
kept forever and ever in the temples at
Washington, where many nations may
behold the correct measure of the
strength of the land.
6. And all the live stock according to
age, and all the poultry, and all the
hives of bees which the husbandman
hath shall be counted, and they shall
be written in value as the law saith,
and preserved in the temples.
Z. And the length and breadth of the
farm, and the value thereof, and the
value of the houses and barns for
shelter thereon, and the value of the
and implements and chart
OTIS which man useth shall likewise be
written and laid forever in the temples
Of truth. Thus saith the law
s. He who leaseth land shall answer
all things to the elect like unto him
who owneth it, for the king of the CEN
sus hath said that one man shall not
be called and another left.
g. Thus saith the king of the census
to his people: Thou shalt this day
write upon tablet all the things of the
farm and the value of them; the value
Of all thou hast eaten and all that thou
hast sold and exchanged, and be ready:
for in an hour We wot not next June the
cometh. Blessed be he that
naketh full and perfect answers quick

at Washington, which is the
Kings home, or unto the high priest of
The census of agriculture, and thou
wilt receive light.

left OF the picture is seen the lift con-
nection with the kitchen, which not
only transfers heavy dishes, but also
as necessity requires other smaller
fry such as kitchen boys.
The finest of them all is, however,
the lord mayors kitchen in the Man
sion house, where the art of serving
enormous banquets has been brought
to the highest state OF perfection. The
open fire-places and hot ovens are of
gigantic proportions and they are in
almost constant use as grand dinners
take place several times a week.
Ten chefs are employed, each being
responsible for the preparation OF a
certain course and there is chef-in-
chief who criticises the work of the
others
Among the delicacies invariably
served at these banquets, may be men
toned the famous calipash, the green
fat OF the turtle. and the calipee or
white soup fat. Yonder before a roar

chickens, pheasants, and twice the

will hold at time a dozen hams, five
dozen fowls, and then have spare
corner for something besides.
Ices, vegetables, entrees, and fruit
are prepared in smaller ice chilled lard
ers Nevertheless, amid all this hustle
and apparent confusion a banquet for
two hundred and sixty persons can be
got ready in one and half uours, sup
posing that all due preparation has
been previously made.
The provision for the annual civic
feast at the Guildhall is quite dis
tinct art, for on this occasion the en-
tire banquet is served cold, excepting
the inevitable turtle soup, and one
course of roast game which is pre-
pared by means of the extensive gas
ranges situated in the crypts below;
all else having been cooked before
hand for lord mayors day.
At certain periods of the year the
busiest kitchen in the land is that Of
Christ church, Oxford, and the Eng
lishman always swells with pride when
he tells of the famous meringues con-
cocted there, as if the meringues play
ed an important part in maintaining
the educational fame of the university.

Windsor Great park, the country home
of the Prince and Princess Christian.
By permission of the prince the writer
was enabled to explore the kitchen at
a most interesting time, that is, while
the royal occupants were lunching
with a small party of friends.
The most conspicuous features of the
immense room were three giant ranges
sunk in the wall, plate warmer al
most as large as a diminutive suburb
an villa and an amazing array of pans,
jelly moulds, egg whisks and kindred
utensils.
The chef has the assistance of
twenty-one helpmates in the house
hold, and was as accommodating as the
lunch hour and the preparation with
his own hands of an Omelet of the
most choice ingredients could possibly
permit.
AS there was royal company to lunch
that day, the kitchen presented an an
mated scene The sliding service door
would fly up and a smart footman an
nounce next course" to which appeal
everything was in readiness, so that
the privileged onlooker could at a
glance see the regularity and precision
with which the royal household was
conducted.
The larders, cool to a refreshing de-
gree, exhibited dainties of the most ap-
petizing nature, supplied as they are
by the royal farms adjoining the lodge.
In the old days kings and queens did
not enjoy the culinary advantages of
their descendants by many degrees.
For instance when Queen Elizabeth
| lived at Windsor, the facilities accord
ed the cook were so few that the meat
! for the royal table was cooked at the
bakery in Peascod street. This
| bakery was a public one, to which most
of the surrounding families sent their
provisions to be cooked.
Owing to a complaint, however, from
the queen about the cold state in which
| her meals were served, some Of the
courts on the northeast end Of the
castle were closed in, and these served
as kitchens until the reign Of George
| ", when the present kitchen and con-
fectionery department were built in the
place of the old ones about the year
1928.
The service department of the house
of lords is a unique institution located
in magnificent apartment next to the
dining room. The accompanying IL
lustration shows the silver grill at the
further end, and also the handsome
polished brass dish-covers and bright
stee1-covered plate warmers. To tbs
