Later on these same lit- | tle ones will be spectators of the grown-up reakfast table down in the dininz-room, coa jing around father and mother, and enjoying emancipation from nursery rule, until they have en. papa off to his business.’ It must be ad- mitted that in this department of home life the | English stand alone, and whether for good or the child is the child of slow development and of yery simple notions of anything be the pursery realin. Cocoa is more usually found upon the English than upon the American breakfast table, where chocolate holds sway, which recalis to our mind the latest improve ment in the chocolate pot. Plated pots for serving chocolate are furnished with what is called a muddler—in reality a sort of egg-beater with along handle—which passes through the lid of the pot. As each cup is poured out this muddler is stirred rapidly round, and in this way the tendency of chocolate to settle is ob- viated. There is no exaggeration in saying that the atmosphere of a breakiast table gives the key to the atmosphere of the home. It is only in America and in England that the lady of the house is as dainty at the morning meal as at ery other; they alone hold papillottes and crimping-pins in honor at the breakiast table. In France, Germany and Switzerland early breakfast is, in reality, no meal at all. It lacks every element of comfort. and in. the majority of instances, the lady of the house will enjoy her coffee and pretzel or rollin her own room, paus- ing for the purpose in her housewifely cares, and clad in the semi-deshabille in which those tasks are performed by the notable women of foreign countries. In Italy, again, breakfast means hot rolis and coffee, and in Holland the addition of strong-flavored cheese or smoked herring is scarcely a redeeming feature. Dainty breakfast sets are almost unknown, except in the few families who, in traveling, have learned he beauty of such unfamiliar things and whose views of the possibilities of life are enlarged. The reception of guests at a breakfast table 1s necessarily informal. Breakfast parties are not very common, and when they take place their charm lies in the freedom and familiarity which should be their accompaniments. In certain cir- | cles of society the breakfast has somewhat usurped the place of luncheons, notably among literary people and members of the tieatrical profession. In the latter reunions extravagant displays of plate ami flowers, choice dishes, and most recherche wines take place, while among the literati the charm depends rather upon the How of wit and iumor which presumably accom- j panies all literary gatherings. Upon the appoint- ments of the wedding breakfast it is not neces- | sa ng to indulge the fervent ho} fall into entire disuse, of which there appears a growing probability. Ar nts of the breakfast table butter dishes play ax important part. Inthese the = ‘ latest style are in oval form on three feet and he A anbhi ving a lid whieh, wien placed in position, gives nat the form of a large egg.

Small napkins er acconipaniments of the breakfast wer glasses are an improvement in his sultry weather. It does not require much tion to conjure upa breakfast table with ap}oitments and accompaniments which should make it fit for the gods, but when, in addition to its material attractions, are added those of and kindly companionship, when the free, familiar chat of home life is the accompaniment to the play of knives and forks, we shall. per- haps, after all, tail to observe whether the cups are of stoneware or delicate china, or whether yle for the nursery. in some mother will admitted, ts great reforme! v pensity to copy ever, andsome style in store in London will furn- 's_ master- forts will be re- derable distance, it is potte If euitured taste h deep-t borders, will at once pro- h an unadorned sur- line.

There is no reason Why American porcelain should not far outrival that of foreign manufacture in cheapness, for within the vast area of the states every ingre- dient necessary for the manufacture of the most delicate and expensive china of Europe or the east can be found, and certainly there no longer for failure as that given by delphia, when, in 1825, he closed his porcelain works because he was un- able to i artists who could decorate his ware. ‘There is no such dearth of artists to-day; there ia, on the contrary, an opposite danger when so many amateur china painters are in the field 0 held a brush has deco- in daily use.

All along the Connecticut shore, and around Norwich the so-called army worm, the devourer of grass and foliage, is making ruinous ravages. Tt eats the grass down to the very roots, mak- ing the field look as burnt over. The largest- sized worm thus far seen is about two inches long and about as thick as a Faber pencil. They have a colored back and two Bvctugd stripes, one ‘on each side. The yellow stripes do not appear until the body is nearly developed. They crawl rapidly. One reason why they are so partial to grass is that there is scarcely any grain but what has been cut and housed. The worms avoid weeds entirely. The most effective way of fight- ing them is to dig a trench, and, when’ this is well filled, pour kerosene in and set it on fire, and keep it up until the rear guard are con- sumed, ———_-2-—_____ Queen Victoria. Correspondence of the Philadelphia Press. Victoria, however, has freaks of kindness which win the popular heart. She never does things In a queenly way, but she ts often dis- covered doing charmingly gracious deeds in a womanly way. While at Windsor, or any of the royal retreats, she interests herself in the people about her. Indeed, this regard for the obscure is now the cause ot her popular dis- grace. It wasto be present ata ball given her ser- vants at Baimoral that she recently shocked the aristocracy in neglectiug to attenda state cere- monial in honor of the murdered son of the great house of Cavendish. The people at once ascribed this heartlessness to the queen’s dis- like of the liberals,and more particularly her abhorrence of any one near ordear to Glad- stone; for the murdered lord was a kinsman by marriage of the prime minister, and that, it wj argued by the people, was enough to explain her want of tact, to call it by no other name, in turning her back upon_ the bereaved family. More German than the Germans, the queen, in her relations with her court and aristocracy, is the most punctilious of sovereigns. She exacts the last degree of homage and never forgives an omission in any of the forms of state that hedge a sovereign. For years she shared in the scan- dals and lampoons so freely showered upon her son the Prince of Wales. When her obstinate retirement trom the duties of royalty had exas- perated the English trades-people, the question of her abdication” was even presented to the House of Commons, and, though it was smoth- ered and its author lampooned as a crazy man, those who knew the drift of English opinion were satisfied that the matter needed only the support of one or two respected names to raise it intoa burning question. For year: dalous insinuations against the royal anchorite have ceased in the English press, but her recent conduct has given them new ‘currency. Nor were these the inspiration of democrats eager for a republic, as is sometimes supposed. Aristocratic scandal-mongers were the first to hint that there was something degrading in the royal lady choosing a rough Scotch “‘giilie” as her constant factotum, through whom the proudest nobles reached their mistress’ ear. So firmly grounded was this malicious story that, when the queen visits the continent, the jour- nals in France significantly retail the doings and sayings of Brown the inseparable. The queen, however, never has paid the slightest attention to these insinuations. John Brownis alwayson her coach, is always at hand to pertorm the officies of a valet. and holds his head as hich as | a trusted and confidential domestic wno knows | | his place secure. | Unlike other queens, Victoria has no female confidants. The drama of Mis- tress Masham and Mistress Morley, played by Queen Anne and the Duchess of Mariborough, has had no repetition since the young Victoria ascended the throne. Her contidant was Priace Albert, and before him Lord Melbourne. — Dis- raeli succeeded, after his invention of the em- press of India, in gaining the completest confl- dence of the queen, but outside of the Princess Beatrice there are no women about the court to invent intrigue and keep up cabals. Inthe privacy of her court life the queen and those who surround her use the German language. To win the royal favor it is only necessary to speak German with the Hanoverian accent. For some reason the queen is not fond of the princess of Wales. It is said that the dislike comes from the crisis in the affairs of her G man kinsfolk when the English parliament was on the verge of joining Denmark against the aggressions of Prussia and Austria... The queen. quarreled with Palmerston on the subject. The night after parliament broke into cheers overa victory of the Danish fleet the queen indig- nantly told the minister that if such an affront were repeated she would go to Germany and re- main during the war. To which Paimerston bluntly responded that ir she did resolve to put sucha mark of indignity upon her people she would never be permitted to return, and re- membering the history of her predecessors, the Stuarts, the queen said nothing more about quitting her realm. The chief grievances against the queen, however, are her seclusion and her stingineas. Other monarchs keep up a succession of state pageantries, which help trade in countless ways. This the queen has never done since her widowhood, and, what is worse, does not contribute toward the expenses. of the prince of Wales, who is obliged to enter- tain In her stead. This is not because Victoria hasn’t the means. She is the richest and best paid sovereign i Europe. She draws for her expenses never less than an even $2,000,000 a year. This is granted by Parliament. "Besides this she is a great pro- prietor, drawing revenues from her estates that equal the sums paid the monarchs of continen- tal kingdoms. Nor docs her wealth end here. Under the laws the fortunes of intestates or legitimates. and, insome instances aliens, revert to the crown. In 1850the queen inherited direct amillion and ahalf from a miser named Nield. Her annual gains are further swelled by the revenues of the duchies of Lancaster and a royalty on certain ancient royal grants in India. Add to these the fruits of Prince Albert’s lucky investments, which were made in the heart of the most affluent part of the London of to-day, and it will be seen that Victoria will have a stu- pendous fortune to leave her children. The queen’s wealth and her parsimonious hoarding of it is the favorite grumble of John Bull, be he aristocrat or commoner. The Prince of Wales with a modest grant of halfa million from the state and a half-million more from various other sources, likewise coming eventually from the people, is as lavish as the queen is close. He is always in debt, but he finds gooa credit on his “expectations.” When the monarchy is brought to an end for a republic the cost of the maintenance of roy- alty will be the main pretext—for every mem- ber of the queen's family to the remotest degree of consanguinity is provided for in the same generous proportion by the British tax-payers. Were all these kinsmen of English blood the radical mblers would be less vehement. but scores of the royal pensioners upon the crown ure Germans who have no sort of claim upon the English nation. Many of them are in com- mand in the army and nai places for which they are ridiculously unfit. The rank of general in the army, given the queen’s cousin, Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimer, is a continual source of jealousy and disgust to the great nobles, whose younger, sons have to climb labor- jously from subordinate rank. Alcohol from Acorns. £rom the Scientific American. It is said that alcohol equal to that made from grain can be produced from acorns. The acorns are freed from the shell and ground finely; then they are mashed with malt, and allowed to fer- ment. Acorns contain about twenty per cent of starch, and eighteen per cent of gluten.

It is not the less a serious question what shall be done with the American Jolly girl, or what she will do with herself. The social aspects of the question are naturally the most obvious, but it has moral aspects also. When = young, girl gets to be impatient of restraint, and anxious, first and chief of all, to have ‘‘a Jolly time,” she is in a position of at least possibie peril. From the Jolly girls in certain ranka in society the Jennie Cramers are recruited—girls who mean no harin, but are so careless of eéaventionalities that they are in danger before they are aware. Our sdvial customs allow a treedom between the sexes which is wise and healthy, but con- tains perilous possibilities. There is room at ‘least for the inquiry whether what may be called the calisthenic craze, the cultivation ot ‘* man- nish” sports, games and forms of physical exer- cise among girls, may not have been the occasion in part for the diminished gentieness and woman- liness observable in thejolly girlof theperiod. A keen old lady is said to have comforted a young mother, who was deploring her lot in having no daughter, with the remark, “Be thankful, my dear, you have none. In these days—who knows?—she might h turned out a jolly girl!” Probably there are a good many mothers, English and American, who appreciate the force of this consolation. ———————— The Aminbility and Good Nature of Mexican women 18 proverbial. They are universally good-tempered, gracious, and grace- ful, and this charm of manner prevails in all classes. Advantazes of education are few, and their accomplistinents are limited to the guitar and a few Spanish songs, but their voices are sweet and melodious, and their laugh is low, musical, and infectious. Simple-minded and affectionate In their natures, devoted where they love, and conilding, but fierce and vehe- ment in their jealousies, mere children in sim- plicity and pleased with a little attention, never awkward in society—a 5th avenue belle might envy them their grace and natural polish of manner, which is something marvelous, considering their want of oppor- tunities. Even the children are gentle and never rude or boisterous. Their reverence and respect for their parents is something won- derful. When saying yood-night to them they kneel and kiss th hands. The good nature and affectionate manner in domestic life is charming. There is scarcely an instance of fam- | lly quarrels and_ bicker! No Mexican ever ability is most commendable. Every family has its peones, whom we are told are little better | than slaves. Such is not the case; on the con- trary, they are treated with the utmost kind- ness, und fare as well as the family, which, how- ever, cannot be called sumptuously, for all are miserably poor, comparatively speaking; still, any family having the munificent income of $100 a year keeps a servant or peon.—Aezican cor- respondenee New York Times. ee By the Sea.
