HOW TO ARRANGE CUT GLASS.
Mahogany Is the Best Setting That
Can BE Given to II.

Cut glass will not look much better
than those pretty good limitations that
are sold these days II it is put on the
sidebo7rd or table without any thought
Of making it show off to best adyan-
tage. In fact, most people do not
know that the surroundings have as
much to do with the beauty Of cut
glass as they have with most other
things in the world.
1t should never be placed among
lightcolored surroundings, particular
ly cream or yellow. In such a case
there is noticeable lack of the rides
cence and brilliant sparkle that belong
to cut glass. A cabinet may be full
Of beautiful pieces, but if they are
backed by a mirror the whole effect is
a mere tumble of crystal,
Mahogany is the real setting Its
richness and dullness of tone are best
suited to bring out the beauty in the
glass. Then there should be plenty Of
room, There is no handsomer effect
than a bowl or some cut-glasS piece
standing on a mahogany shelf with no
other piece near it. A big display sim.
ply robs every piece of its beauty, and
if the housewife has not enough room
or too many pieces let her put some
away and change from time to time.

BATHING IN The DEAD SEA.
BY No Means a Pleasure, According
to One Traveller.

"No sooner has one plunged into
the water than one is whipped of
ones feet and goes hobbing helplessly
about like a wretched cork says Rev.
Haskell Smith of bathing in the Dead
sea. In the effort to regain ones
footing and TO get back TO shore, ones
feet aud shins are barked by the
jagged stones and pebbles, and when
at length one does emerge from its
treacherous bosom, with the lower
limbs bleeding and torn, one becomes
aware of a horrible tingling and burn
Ing sensation in eyes, ears, nostrils,
mouth and almost every pore Of the
skin, from the brine and bitumen
which have penetrated everywhere.
Unless great care is taken the
bather in the Dead sea is liable to an
eruption, which breaks out all over
his body. and which is commonly
known as the Dead sea rash The
best antidote to this is to hurry across
as quickly as possible to the river Jor-
dan and take a second plunge therein.
The soft and muddy waters Of that
sacred but dirty stream will effectual-
" remove the salt that has incrusted
the body"

A Hot Weather Dessert

Pineapple Cream.-The foundation
for this delicious dessert is can of
pineapple, or a pineapple large enough
to fill a pint measure when shredded.
Shred very fine and bring to a boil
with half pound of sugar, strain over
half an ounce of gelatine which has
been dissolved in just enough cold wa.
ter to cover it. When cool, but not
yet formed, stir in the beaten whites
of three eggs and half a pint of
whipped cream; pour into mold and
set on ice to cool. If you use the
canned, shredded pineapple, which is
almost like preserves. you will not
need to add the sugar.

A pretty way to arrange bedroom
window curtains is this: The upper
sash is hung with a dainty lowered
muslin, and the lower with a flmy
madras Both are simple sash cur,
tains and thus will be easily launder.
ed The colored curtain is protected
from the light by the shade, which
is usually drawn to the middle Of
the window For this reason the
colored curtain will not be liable to
fade.
The colored curtain is much pref
tier if RULED with white. This
scheme gives a charming touch Of
color at the windows, but admits of
the use of the sash curtain as a
screen for the lower part of the win

Hitherto tourists from the United
States who chose the southern trip to
Europe left the steamer at Gibraltar
or Naples, but many, chiefly those
who had already been in Italy, now
come to Trieste and continue from
here their voyage by the new Aus
trian railway. There can hardly be
a more beautiful country than the
regions which are made accessible by
this new Transalpine railroad. The
new railway is owned by the state,
and is 1870 miles long. There are 40
tunnels, with total length of ten
miles, There are so bridges, one of
which, across the river Izonzo, has
the longest stone span in the world.
