HOW TO MAKE THE SHELLS.

the opening in the glass and mold the
shell over the top. This is very easily
done by having round piece of thick
cardboard the size of the opening, put
ting the palm of the hand over the
glass and pressing the cardboard down
while you mold the edges of the paper
with your thumb and fingers. By tur1-
ing the glass with your other hand
backward and forward you can very
easily press the paper into the re-
quired shape.
Let the glass set on its bottom with
the paper shell covering it, cut guam.
tity of rose leaves out of crepe or plain
tissue paper of the desired color, and
with little -four paste and small
brush touch the lower edges of the
rose petals and stick them on the pa
per shell, putting the first row around
the edges and the second around the
bottom of the shell.
1t is good plan to have several
drinking glasses, and when the paper
shell is drying on one to mold new
one on another glass. By doing this
the shells retain their shape better
and you can progress more rapidly
with the work.
When the petals have dried suff-
GENTLY to hold tight to the paper shell
they can be slightly curled by run
ming them between knife blade and
your thumb until they take on quite a
natural appearance Gig. ~.
To further carry out the pretty con.
ceit that one is eating cream from the
heart of rose, spray of natural rose
leaves may be laid on the plate and
the rose set amidst the leaves, or if
these are not obtainable artificial
leaves of green crepe paper may be
used with artistic effect. If the cream
be delicately favored with rose the
conceit is all the more realistic.
Either white or pink cream is pretty
for white or pink roses, while lemon
cream or lemon and orange sherbet
may be used with good effect in yellow
roses.
These shells should be lined with
confectioner's oiled paper. Cut out a
circular piece little larger than that
used for the shell, mold it also over the
drinking glass, and it will fit very neat
ly within it.
These Innings can be easily lifted out
of the shells after the cream has been
served in them and fresh Innings put
in, so that the roses can be used for
several occasions.
When cream is to be served in these
shells it should be made quite hard and
taken out in little pyramids, by using
molds, such as are kept by confection-
ers. If these cannot be had, two large
spoonfuls of cream pressed together
will make very nice-looking pyramid.
Ices thus served become pleasure
to the eye as well as to the palate

it is well to thoroughly equip ones

Above all things, be sure to provide
yourself with drinking cup, for it is
far from attractive to think of drink

anyone who chances along.

around this, and when tired and dusty
from the heat gently battle the face
with the cologne water, and you will
be greatly surprised to find how cool
and comfortable you will feel.

Commencement night arrived
Three dainty white dresses, all alike
to the last ruffie, were laid across the
three single beds, and the excited
triplets were ready to slip into them.
Little Mrs. Stone was flying from one
tall daughter to another in nervous
haste, and Aunt Harriet, who had con-
tributed the dresses, seemed to be in
everybody's way at once.
"It's pretty thick in here" said
Adalette, gathering up one of the
fluffy gowns. eff you don't mind,
mother, I think I'll take possession
of the spare room. I have an errand
to do besides, so don't be uneasy it
you find that have gone on ahead"
There were twenty-seven graduates,
of whom nineteen were girls. Mrs.
Stone, down in the audience, tried to
distinguish her white-robed triplets
Upon the stage. There was one au-
burn head. There was another, but
where was the third? Mrs. Stone
began again at the beginning of the
row, but only two of the red-gold
heads could she find.
Adalette's essay was the fourth
number on the programme. Mrs.
Stone looked expectantly at her two
visible daughters. Neither of them
stirred, but strange girl at the end
of the first row stepped forward. ALI
the other graduates wore white. This
one was attired in quaint but be-
coming gown of pink and white
striped dimity. Her abundant hair
was black as night. So were her eye
brows.
"What," whispered Mrs. Stone to
Aunt Harriet, "has become of Ada
lette?"
But surely, even though it trembled,
that was Adalette's voice. Surely that
was Adalette's essay. Mrs. Stone had
heard it too often not to recognize
it now, but where was Adalette? Mrs.
Stone snatched Aunt Harriet's opera
glasses, and gazed eagerly at the dark
haired girl.
"As I live" whispered she, turning
to Aunt Harriet, "that's Adalette in
nv spare-room bed quilt, but what
has she done to her hair?"
"Well,'' said Aunt Harriet, ''if I'm
not mistaken, she has either bought
or rented the wig off the wax lady in

on the spare-room dressing table aft

t'But why" began bewildered Mrs.
Stone.
sWell," said Aunt Harriet, who was
sensible woman in spite of her pecu-
liar taste in clothes, "this is the occa-
sion of lifetime for Adalette, and J.
suspect she wanted to graduate as an
individual and not as a triplet. She
has made that gown herself, for I've
seen pink threads on her dress every

JUST WHAT TO EAT.
The Proper Food to Consume II Peo-
PIE Want to Prol0nH Their
Lives.

Anatomical experiment and investi.
cation show that the chief character.
istics of old age are the deposits oi
earthly matter of a gelatinous, fbrin.
Gus character in the human system
Carbonate and phosphate of lime
mixed with other salts of a calcareous
nature, have been found to furnish the
greater part of these earthly deposits,
says the New York World.
As observations show. man begins
in gelatinous condition.; he ends in
an osseous or bony one-soft in in.
fancy, hard in old age. OF course,
these earthly deposits, which affect all
the physical organs, naturally inter.
fere with their functions. Partial
ossification Of the heart produces the
imperfect circulation of the blood
which affects the aged. When the
arteries are clogged with calcareous
matter there is interference with cir
culation, upon which nutrition de.
pends. Without nutrition there is no
repair Of the body.
None of these things interfere with
nutrition and circulation in earlier
years. The reparation Of the physical
system, as every one ought to know,
depends on this fine balance. In fact,
the whole change is merely q slow,
steady accumulation Of calcareous de.
posits in the system. When
these become excessive and resist ex.
pulsion they cause the stiffness and
dryness Of old age.
Entire blockage Of the functions OF
the body is then q mere matter Of
time; the refuse matter deposited by
the blood in its constant passage
through the system stops the delicate
and exquisite machinery which we
call life. This is death. It has been
proved by analysis that human blood
contains compounds Of lime, magnesia
and iron. In the blood itself are thus
contained the earth salts. In early
life they are thrown of. Age has not
the power to do it.
Hence, as the blood is produced by
assimilation of the food we eat, to this
food we must look for the earthly &C.
cumulations which in time block up
the system and bring on old age. .
Almost everything we eat contains
more or less of these elements for de-
stroying life, by means Of calcareous
salts deposited by the all-nourishing
blood. Careful selection, however,
can enable us to avoid the worst Of
them.
Earth salts abound in the cereals,
and bread itself, though seemingly the
most innocent of edibles, greatly as
lists in the disposition of calcareous
matter in our bodies. Nitrogenous
food abounds in this element Hence
diet made up Of fruit principally is
best for people advancing in years,
for the reason that, being deficient in
nitrogen, the ossific deposits so much
TO be dreaded are more likely to be
suspended.
Moderate eaters have in all cases
much better chance for long life than
those addicted to excesses at the table.

CAPTAIN MORENO DEAD.

Capt. Celso Caesar Moreno, an Ital.
Ian gentleman of rare attachments and
distinction, died in Washington yester.
day morning. He wss II years of age
lived at the Anderson, corner Of John
Marshal Place a,d O street, and had
been i'll only few hours, OF paralysis

in this city and several years since pub
lished q series Of articles In the Gazette

conducted 10 this country and con-
nived at by italian officials 10 the United

Moreno made the acquaintance of King
Victor Emanuel, Gsribsldi and MAJ.
zioi. He became captain 10 the Ital
Ian navy and later saw service 10 the
Crimean war. While in the island OF
Sumatra he was instrumental in the
movement for melting natives to revolt
against Holland. Later he was sent to
Tonquin by the French government in
an official capacity aud thence drifted
to China. where he organized the first
steamship company under the Chinese
flag.

In 1872 he organized q trans-P Pacific
cable company, in which the Hon. Le-
land Stanford was interested, and final
IL q charter was obtained from Congress
for constructing cable estimated to
cost SIC, 600, 900. He again went to the
Orient and subsequently came to the
Sandwich Islands, where he gained the
confidence OF King Kslaksus. The

power was forced to give up the posi-
ton. He was still favorite with the
King, however, and the latter secretly
commissioned him as minister to the
United States and every court In Eu-
rope, but this was soon revoked.
He took three young Hawaiisns to
Europe to be educated, and in 1882 re-
turned TO America, living in Washing

He was allowed time for prayer and
was told exactly the death that awaited
him.
Henderson's crime was atrocious.
