A rather better re n may be t animals vary in the qu y of their fur as human be- ings do in the quality of their hair. We all know people whose 1 re almost as coarse as bristl ers W tresses are like floss silk. Why shot not all anim be the same? There a surpr fference in the coats of horses and cattle, and there is no rea- son to suppose that those creatures that furnish the material for our fur ts are subject to any different ies. t is an admitted fact that a large number of persons are very susceptible to anything in the way of rough or seratchy cl ing, it would be well for this s to take pains in buying furs, and select only those with the softest possible hai Some children and, indeed, a well, are made uncomfortable to the e of misery by ordinary qualities rs. dults as r grades « after they Pu very easy to say that such pect ities are fancy and foolishness. W they occur in adults they may possib!s be so, but little ren, too young to rstand why they suffer, are some- times tortured for years before anyone finds out what is the matter with them. And thousands of grown-up people endure all sorts of little discomforts and distresses in silence partly because they have been brought to think it fool- ish to complain and partly for the rea- son that they really know no other way to get along, and as they have from their cradles been tang think they must suffer just about so much, they have turned philosophers and have learned to “grin and bear it. All of our lives we have heard that we must eat our peck of dirt during our earthly career, but there is no reason why we should take it with a table- spoon or look with any degree of com- placency on those who cater to our ap- petites if they are culpably careless, or that we should be annoyed ard irritat- ed by trifles that we can easily cure or avoid.—N. Y. Ledger. ABOUT BREAKFAST BACON. Secret of Having Light, Brown, Dry, Crisp Rolls. The secret of cooking breakfast bacon so it will be a “delicate light brown, dry and crisp,” consists, first, in cutting it thin, then in having it icecold when it is put in the pan, which must be hot, yet not redhot. Shake the pan rapidly while the bacon is cookin, toss the bacon over. It will crisp into rolls in two or three minutes, and will then be ready to use as a garnish. The pan should be hot enough to burn the bacon unless it is kept moving. The bacon should be so chilled that it is firm enough for a keen-edged knife to cut it in water-like slices. Some cooks prefer to broil Then simply lay the slices in an broiler and broil them for two on each side, turning them and lifting them if the fat drips. It is also espe- cially necessary to have the dampers of the stove open, as it always is necessary in broiling anything. The smoke of dripping fat is thus drawn away from the meat. Careful cooks bone their bacon. They keep the “side” wrapped in clot and hang it up in the cellar, or some cold place, where they can cut slices from it as they need it. Slices of bacon are served with veal cutlets, calf’s liver, chicken liver and many meats. Chicken livers rolled in oil or melted butter, seasoned with salt and pepper, and then rolled in fine bread crumbs, make a delicious supper or breakfast dish when garnished with bacon. Broil them for five minutes aft- er flattening them a little. Spread half a teaspoonful of maitre d’hotel butter on each liver after it is cooked, garnish with a crisp slice of bacon. Chicken livers ean be procured by the dozen in the large markets. Broiled squab, quail, grouse, wood- cock and other birds are properly served with a garnish of bacon. Almost any fried fish is appropriately served With this garnish. Dainty little crisped rolls of bacon are a most excellent ac- companiment to a dish of perfectly fried golden-brown fishballs. Fish- balls, properly cooked and seasoned, is not a dish for an epicure to sneer at. It may well hold its own Place as ar American dish, which the American housewife may well be proud of when it is properly served; but as it is fre- quently put on the table it deserves all bacon. the contempt implied in the term “codfish aristocracy.”—Cincinnati Com- mercial Tribune. j : «| ETIQUETTE OF CONVERSATION.

The Fashionable Coiffure. To be strictly up to date, the back hair should be waved in large waves and well combed out, and then pushed downward with pompadour combs made for that purpose. Women with heavy suits of hair wear close knots of braid for the morning, and crimp the front, combing it back plain from the forehead without the exaggerated roll The part is seldom s and never on women who make any pretensions to fashion; but a soft bang, worn very short, is still worn by women who have never given up this style.
