Hollands Famous Tulip Craze.

''In the year 1884 the tulip craze
in Holland" writes Clifford Howard,
i'll the Ladies' Home Journal, 'be-
came SO great that the ordinary in
dustries were neglected. No one
wanted to do anything but raise tulips.
A rare specimen offered for sale called
forth exciting bidding. Every one
was on the lookout for special varie-
ties. It was rumored at one time
that there were but two bulbs of the
Semper Augustus in existence in Hol-
land. One of them was owned by q
florist in Haarlem. and another by a
dealer in Amsterdam. This rnmor
was sufficient to arouse the liveliest
commotion in tulip circles, and dealers
and fanciers hurried forward with
offers to purchase one endeav-
oring to outbid the other. The COM
petition became SO eager that finally
one man offered twelve acres of city
property for the HARLEM bulb; but
the owner refused to sell. The bulb
in Amsterdam was knocked down to
the highest bidder for nineteen hun
dred dollars in cash, two horses, a
carriage and set of harness. total
of about three thousand dollars, which
in those days was fabulous sum-"

Inspection by Tapping.

Among the most incomprehensibl
proceedings to be observed within the
vast area OF Woolwich Reserve Depot
are the doings of small party Of Of
ficials, one of whom appears to do
nothing all day long but sit at table
and tap on the top of tin canisters
with couple of bits of stick some-
thing after the manner of child beat
ing on the upturned end of his drum.
The tins are passed before him about
as fast as he can tap them, and abso-
lutely nothing seems to come OF the
game. To the unenlightened onlooker
it is quite unintelligible. The tins
contain meat, and before they are
passed into the store it is, of course,
important to examine the condition of
what is inclosed, and this in fact is
the way it is done. The trained ear
of the expert examiner can tell whether
the meat is in wholesome or q putrid
condition by the sound emitted when
raped with the stick, just as the ex-
aminer of railway carriage wheels is
supposed to be able to tell whether
the wheel he taps with his hammer is
cracked or not. The rapidity with
which the business is gone through
and the seeming inattention of the per-
former with the sticks, and his total
Indifference to all sorts of noises about
him, render the procedure a very
curious one to watch. The test is
said to be practically infallible. Lon

poses and strictly morning wear there
are the plain tailor-made waists of
madras and cheviot, with French
back and a box plat down the front,
but the dainty sheer lawns and soft
silks with their tucks and frills are SO
much more attractive that the original

the back and front.
A silk bodice which has the effect of
bolero is tucked around in waved
lines, and the lower part of it ,ove
the belt is of diamond tucked white
organdie, very fine and sheer. This
forms the lower sleeve, the transpar-

Hints flr the Kitchen.

Cases of poisoning have arisen
through careless disregard for the
cleanliness OF the cooking utensils OF
of their perfect condition. Directly a
copper saucepan shows signs of being
at all worn it should be retinned, and
IN any case nothing of an acid nature
should be allowed to remain in it
while cooling. The same with regard
to zinc and lead vessels, which are
unsafe for cooking purposes. Those
of tin, steel, iron or nickel are the
safest to employ. Remember, too,
that it is better to use Il wooden spoon
than one OF metal when stirring milk
or soups, and that before using baking
tins you should grease them inside
thoroughly y either with butter or lard.
In order to prevent them from burn
ing it is as we'll to take the precaution
OF sprinking the shelves of the over

to be even more popular this summer
than the blues that have so long held
their own. The model shown in the
large engraving reproduced from the
New York Sun represents frock in
figured red foulard. The long, plain
skirt falls in ample fields and has an
overtunic with pointed tablier front.
The tunic is edged all round with
broad band of white Cluny lace. A
broad godet plait headed by long
narrow lace insertion raises this tunic
at either side. The bolero is in red
velvet yelled with old gulpure that ex-
tends upon the shoulders so as to
form jockey sleeves. At one side

side.
An absolute novelty in street suits
is also shown in the large picture. 1t
demonstrates two things-the growing
fancifulness of the tailor-made toi-
lette, and the overpowering popular
ity of the lace jacket. The suit is of
pale mauve cloth and has very
short, single breasted, basqued coat
buttoned snugly down the middle OF
the front. Over the corsage and the
sleeves of this coat is the lace jacket
in ecru guipure. The lapels are in
white satin, hand painted wins violets
and with a narrow edging in black
velvet. A broad. fat collar of the
cloth forms an effective background to
these lapels. Round the hips and
again little distance above the hem
the skirt is banded with many rows of
stitching. A cravat of white chiffon
finishes the throat, while the hat is of
mauve straw faced with black chiffon,
and trimmed with white and black
chiffon. At one side of the brim.
against the wearer's hair, rests mass
of shaded mauve roses.

puggaree muslin are the usual trim
ming, with punches of cocks feathers
or dropping pheasant's plumes, which
have replaced last summers stiff
eagles quills.
The sailor hat bobs up serenely; it
is little changed in shape, though
occasionally it has an absurdly high
crown. For dressy wear it is deco
rated with wreaths of leaves, or with
twists of tulle and spreading wings.
An outing hat of khaki in fiat
beret shape, with two quilts passing
through the khaki from side to side,
one on the crown, the other through

colored ribbon.
Nearly all hats are arranged to
match the neckwear and the parasol.
With blouse in green and mauve
will be worn, for example, green

fine mauve hyacinths, close set. The
parasol, if possible, will be covered
with silk like that OF the blouse.

The Care of Cage Birds.

How and where will you keep youl
bird? That cleanliness is obviously
of the first Importance, and that it is
hard to keep fanciful cages free from
dirt and parasites, is enough to con.
demn them. Swiss cottages. ] agodas
and the like, hung with pendants and
sparkling with metallic ornaments, are
both tasteless and dangerous. The
bird will pick at the bright points and
dangling spangles until it poisons o.,
chokes itself, and the corners aud
crinkles are SO many lodgings for dirt
and vermin. Wooden cages are to be
avoided because subject to impurity,
and brass ones on account of the great
danger from verdigris, for the gliding
soon wears off. The cleaning wires
are also harmful to BIRDS eyes, and
they offer no contrast with its yellow
plumage. If you must have cage OF
the popular bell shape get painted
one. and repaint it as often as seems
desirable.
Where you shall place your canary
or other bird to good advantage is a
matter to consider carefully. In sum.
mer he enjoys being out of doors o,
in an open window, but not in the
direct hot sunshine, nor exposed to o
shower. nor where dogs or cats, hawks
or shrikes eau seize him or perhaps
frighten him to death. Remember
that theselittl creatures may easily be
frightened into illness or even death.

HINTS FOR HOUSEWIVES.


In washing glassware beware oi
placing it in hot water bottom down,
for that is the time that an ominous
sound will tell of crack from sudden
expansion. Very hot water will not
hurt any piece of glassware if only
the inside as we'll as the outside comes
into contact with the water. The
best way to wash cut glass is to first
put it into warm water in which lit.
tie soap has been dissolved and ther
rinse it in warm water to which an al
most imperceptible amount of am.
monia has been added. A soft rag fo1
drying and small brush for polishing
are nearly indispensable if you wish
your cut glass to retain its brilliancy.
