Trores.—Tidies that will endure are made of fine wheels crocheted of thread, and made with a crocheted border so that they are square, then put alternate squares of silk or satin, tie in fringe across the bottom. In order to do this it is necessary to crochet one row of open work across the lower edye of the silk squares. ceT Potatoxs are appetizing if boiled until they are tender, then cut them in slices lengthwise, put a layer of them in a pudding dish, spread them! with butter, and sprinkle salt and a little powdered sugar, unless the are very sweet, then put another layer «I so on: spread butter over the top. Bake ulf an hour in a hot oven. s.—It is a great improvement to lanch the walnuts used in cake. Almondshave » touch a skin that it is impossible to use them in eake without blane' The walnut skins are bitter, and, h it 18 a little trouble to do it, they blanched. This should certainly be re put in a light-col- ored cake, ses or spice. at and very tasteful covers for rd are made of crash. Choose the ity. Across each end put a border in on stitch. with silks that are warranted hen put a row of drawn work, and nat a hem an ineh wide, and on theed of that put deep torch a little. Pretty table iso; and the long tidies that are caught with a ribbon bow in the center, are both ornamental and useiul. Lemon Pcppine.—One small cup of butter; two full cups of sugar; mix very smooth, add- ing then the grated rind of two lemons, the yolks of six eggs, six small Boston crackers, dis- solved in one pint of sweet milk. Bake, and use the whites of the eges to make a meringue fur the top of the pndding; when the whites are beaten stiff, add six tablespoonfuls of powdered mix well, spread onthe top ot the pud- nd brown nicely. r.—Take the fat from your soup stock, dip out two quarts or more, as you may need, warm it oyer the fire, with an onion, sim- strain, add two table- ‘ine soaked in a very ‘poontul of essence ‘y and the juice of a lemon. Boilup once, take off the filmfrom the top, and pour out. SAMENTAL CHArRDAcks.—Pretty and odd rbacks are made of sqi of linen and of satin. This seems at first a strange combina- tion, but the effect is excellent. Where the squares are joined. cover the seams with fancy stitches. The satin squares may be left without ornamentation, and all the work be put on the linen ones. Embroidery, or painting or etch- ing, is the favorite method employed. How To Serve Porators.—There is every where a greal deal of ignorance shown in put- ing boiled potatoes on the table. It is the usual practice to bring them up ina porcelain dish, with aclose-titting cover. In ten minutes the best potatoes, however carefully cooked, are thus utterly destroy They should be placed in a wooden dish or served ina porcelain dish, with towels above and below toabsorb the mois- ture. Cuartotre Rvsse.—Dissolve one oance of gelatine in half a pint of cold water, boil halfa Pint of milk, with a large cupful of white sugar, and add the gelatine as soon as it boils up, placed in a bottle of warm water. Beat one pint of thick cream to a stiff froth, and season with vanilia. When it is nearly cold, the milk and gelatine should be mixed with the cream. Line an obiong tin dish with slices of any kind of white cake, butdo not wedge them closely to- gether, but e little spaces, so that the cream can show itself when the cake and cream are turned out to be served. Scotorep Happock or Hatmut.—Take two or three pounds of fish and place ina kettle of boiling water with a small tablespoonfal of salt, fs are made of this ate the meat trom the bones; add one onion. chopped fine, a table- spoonful of anchovy sauce, and a little pepper. Put the mixture into a pudding dish, cover it with grated bread crumbs, turning in a little cream or milk before the crumbs are spread over the fish. Put bits of butter thickly over the crumbs and bake it for twenty minutes, MUTTON oR BEEF AND MvsiRooms.—Take a pint of mushrooms, well washed and peeled, cut thin slices of cold roasted mutton or beef and dip them intoflour. Butter apudding dish, put ina laver of meat seasoned with salt, pepper anda little chopped onion; over it spread a layer of mushrooms seasoned with pepper, salt and a few drops of vinezar, perhaps half a spoonful. Turn ina cupful of gravy and water, half and half. Cover the top with mashed pota- toes and bake In a moderate oven three-quarters of an hour. How To Cook Oxtons, TOMATOES, APPLES AND —Take half a pound of nice sausage meat, three large white or red onions, a large tomato, and two large apples. Peel the onions and cut a deep gash in them and fill it up with sausage meat. Put them in a stew pan, pare and core the apples, and chop them fine and strew over the onions. Skin and cut the tomato into thin slices and addto the others. Turn over them half a pint of good, fresh ale, add salt and pepper to taste. melt two ounces of fresh but- ter, and stir into it one ounce of flour, and put the mixture over the onions. Cover with a plate and simmer on the back part of range very slowly for an hour and a half, taking care that it does not barn, by shaking the pan occasionally. Serve as a side dish or entree for dinner, or for a hot supper relish. L The Caterer for October contains two ways of serving oysters, which are both unusual and good: ‘ERS AND MAcARONt.—Butter a deep dish and sprinkle it well with bread crumbs. Put in a layer of fricasseed oysters, then a layer of mac- aroni that has been cooked quite tender, then another layer of fricasseed oysters, and so alter- hate until the dish is full; coat the top with bread crumbs, cover this with small pats of but- ter, and brown it in a quick ove! OysteRS WITH SAUERKRACT.—Six pounds of sauerkraut, boiled till tender in water, with a half pound of butter (an earthenware or a por- celain-lined pot, closely covered, is the best tor this purpose). When ft has boiled quite tender the kraut should be put ina sieve or strainer to thoroughly drain. Meanwhile put into a saucepan @ quarter of a pound of butter, a! tablespoonful of flour and a pint of sour ereain. When this boils it is to be poured oyer the kraut and well shaken together. The oysters are to be stewed slowly. with only the addition ota littie pepper, in their own juice. About twenty-five oysters should be allowed to each pound of kraut. It is then to be arranged in the dish, a layer of sauerkrhut and a layer of oysters alternately, and their juice poured over all. and served very hot. This is really avery good dish. ————_~+e-______ A Tragedy in Past Participles, Sally Saltre she was a teacher and taught, And her friend Charley Church was a preacher who praught, ‘Thought his ends all called him a sereecher who ug! ‘sera His — when he saw her, kept sinking and ni And his eyé, meeting hers, kept winking and wunk; ‘White she, in turn, fell to thinking andvchumie And he hastened to woo her, apa sweetly: he For his love grew until to a mountain It grewed, And what he was longing to do, then he dooed.

A. 8., in he Continent, BOUND TO BE MARRIED IN WHITE. A Buxom Bride Strips Down to Her Chemise and Petticoats. From the Chicago Herald. John Dier, an Ohioan, and Julia M. Learnard of Franklin county, Vermont, appeared yester day before Justice Woodman to be married. As the Justice was about to commence the brief but very binding ceremony the fair Julia, who is about twenty-five years of age and was out- wardly dressed entirely in black, exclaimed: “Hold on judge, please. To get married in biack would-be a bad omen; wait a minute.” The justice waited and was astonished to see Julia commence to disrobe herself. Off went her black hat, next. black basque, then two black skirts.’ At this stage of the proceeding Justice Woodman, not knowing how far the disrobing process would go, and having no fig- leafnear athand, yelled out: ‘Hold on, madam, please.” “It's all right, now, judge,” she smilingly said, and there she stood, the blush on her cheek contrasting strongly with the white of her petticoat, which reached to her boot-tops, and the neglige which loosely encircled her bust. The ceremony was soon over. and the happy bride, with the strong arm of her Hoosier husband, instead of an evil omen, around her, calmly put onher black outfit ‘and proudly walked away. ee eel Social Obligations. F rom the Cincinnati Week. “A bow.” says La Fontaine, “is anote drawn at sight, You are bound to acknowledge it im- mediately to the full amount.” That an invita- tion toa lady’s house to take part in any fes- tivities which may be. going on isa much more conspicuous attention than a bow everybody will concede, and yet very many people who consider themselves very “good form,” and would be shocked to be told the contrary, do not honor their invitations at sight, and some donot even acknowledge them at all. Even whe the cabalistic R. 8. V. P. (Repondez Sil Vous plait) is engraved upon the card it sometimes fails to secure an answer—as has been illustrated within the past few days at one of the handsomest receptions ever given in this city, in honor of a guest of pre-eminent social position. At least one-third of the five hundred invites signified in no way their ap- preciation of the honor conferred upon them, and at least another third sent regrets or ac- ceptances on the day of the affair, and nobody appears to be aware that anybody has violated the code of manners. It is a rule in well-bred London society, upon which our usages are fuunded, that all invitations should be an- swered ‘as soon as possible after receiving them. A well-bred London man answers all invitations as soon as he reads them; and frequently, in his bachelor apartments, arranges them in turn down either side of his mirror, so that at a glance upon the open pages of each he can see what his engagements ,are for weeks to come. If invitations were thrown to one side to be answered at leasure, as is frequently done with us, multiplicity of engagements would lead to entire forgetfulness, and to what Is regarded by punctilious people as one of the most unpar- donable of all rudenesses—no notice taken of an invitation. All refined people, who are accus- tomed to the best social forms, are fully agreed that it would be an unpardonable negligence to omit replying to an invitation for aday, and they consider the delicate intimation conveyed in the - S. V. P. even as a faint reproach to their breeding. But there are a good many people to whom “Answer, or stay at home,” at the foot of the page, would not be a hint too broad. ‘The French have a saying, that is applicable to all notes of invitation, to the effect “that it is as important to reply as promptly to a note requir- ing an answ: as to a question asked in speak~ ing.” If this necessity could be impressed upon society at large, it would be a most fortunate circumstance for ladies who are so kind as to open their houses for purposes of hospitality. The usual mode adopted for all formal invita- tions, acceptances, and regrets by the best bred people admits of little variation. The simpler the form the better, but one must discriminate between curtness and simplicity. To say that you “decline,” or ‘cannot accept,” is not a civil iorm of regret. To write simply “compliments, and regrets,” or ‘compliments, and accept- ance,” is not a courteous form of reply, thouzh there may be no premeditated rudeness. That all regrets should contain a reason for regret- ting is an axiom among well-bred people. “A previous engazement” is the phrase when one hasanengagement at home or away from it, or has no inclination to accept, which makes it quite necessary for those who reaily regret their inability to mention what their engagement is. One regrets, or regrets extremely, ‘in- tended absence from home deprives him of the pleasure of accepting,” etc. One is not able to accept owing to illness of a member of the household—death of a near relative—or some other grave and sufficient reason. ‘The simpliest acceptance is all sufficient, Par example: Mr. and Mrs. Jones-Brown accept, with pleas- ure (or, are most happy to accept), Mr. and Mrs. Smith-Robinson’s kind invitation for Thursday evening, the nineteenth instant. ‘No long, verbal apologies are necessary from those who have been unable to accept an invita- tion of any kind if they have worded their re- grets properly, and sent then. promptly, beyond a brief allusion which civility requires. A too labored apology is bad form, as it gives the ap- pearance that one somehow imagines that the success of the affair was somewhat marred by one’s non-appearance. Poiiteness is good feel- ing set to rule—in no way is it more conspicu- ously shown than in an immediate and cour- teous acceptance or declination of an invita- tion. A Last Talk.

These are the days when the railroad traveler wishes it were July, when there would be no fires In the cars, or December, when there could be fires without making his life wretched. The brakeman or porter who makes fires seems to know no medium. The stove must be stone- cold or it must be red-hot, and the air in thecar eeoenorianies He takes no account of the rise and fall of temperature. When the time comes to begin fires he begins them, and continues them with an unvarying fierceness of heat, re- gardless of the weather, the comfort of passen- gers or the finances of the company. When the day is warm and muggy the stove is as ~ eee when the air erie es and all the nger can do is is he out of the eine and wish at 8 New- foundland dog in the middle of a cool pond.

Resolutions of the Recent Congress at the Hague, ‘The Congress of the British and Continental Federation for the Abolition of State Regula- tion of Vice, held at the Hague, was brought to @ close Saturday, when the following resolu- tions were adopted : 1. The congress demands that in every nation in dealing with all questions arising from the mutual relations of men and women, the law, if it speaks at all, shall declare itself on the side of equal morality and equal justice between the two sexes. ‘ 2. The congress condemns the compulsory examination of the person as practiced under the system of the state regulation of vice, whether applied to men or women, as a gross violation of personal individual right, an out- rage on the best instincts of civilization, and, whenever reduced to anadministrative system,a hygienic failure. 8. The congress aso condemns all official re- cognition of prostitution of a trade and an official recognition and toleration of houses or- ganized for the purpose of sexual vice. 4. The congress condemns the system of giv- Ing to the police, or to any administrative body, any discretionary or exceptional power in rela tion to public morality, and declares that this subject ought to be governed by the common law. 5. Wherever the provisions of national law are not already sufficient to enforce the prohibition of organized traffic in vice, thus striking at the proctrer and those on whose behalf the pro- curer acts, this congress demands that they shall be completed so as to secure that object. 6. Considering the new and very remarkable proofs of the absolute failure and even the dan- gers of state regulation of vice for the purpose of protecting the public health, which have ac- cumulated during the last few years; consider- ing, moreover, the declarations of many of the chief specialist scientific authorities explaining the scientific reasons which -make it impossible for any aystem of examination to render prosti- tution anything else than dangerous to the pub- lic health, the hygienic section of the congress declares tliat it confirms the resolutions adopted atthe previous congresses at Geneva and Ge- noa, and absolutely condemns the system of reg- ulation asa preventative measure for avoiding the diseases which spring from vice. A further resolution was carried expressing the hope that the present Dutch government would carry out the resolution of its predeces- sors an itiate a full international inquiry into the means of preventing the traffic in women and children, and stating the conviction that it is necessary that any commission conducting such an inquiry, in order to lead to satisfactory results and meet the legitimate demands of pub- lic opinion, should contain persons other than officials, and especially those who have studied the question from the point’of view of the fed- eration. The sceances were concluded by an address from the president, M. de Laveleye, who reviewed the work of the week. In the evening a large reception was given by Count Hogendory, at which some speeches were made, and the burgomeister expressed his grateful thanks to the federation for having held the congress at the Hague. He was en- tirely convinced of the principles of the federa- tion, and expressed the belief that the present congress would lead to good results, both at the Hague and throughout Holland in general. aus ates ste Copper a Cholera Preventive. The subject of the efficacy of the salts of cop- per in warding off the attack of cholera is re- ceiving renewed attention on the part of physi- cians and physiologists. In a recent address delivered before the French Academy of Sciences, M. Burg majntained that numberless observations made during the cholera ravages in Europe, and subsequently elsewhere, and verified by savans as well as by the members ofthe medical protession, incontestably prove that such individuals as are exposed. whether by reason of their profession or by their resl- dence in or proximity to the seat of copper in- dustries, to daily cupric impregnation, enjoy immunity from cholera visitations directly pro- portional to the quantity of this impregnation, and that exceptions to this law of immunity are no more numerous than the exceptional cases which present themselves in variola after vac- cination. The results here stated are, it is claimed, in strict conformity with the investiga- tions lately conducted by M. Paul Bert in the laboratory of the Serbonne, which seem to prove that the salts of copper possess greater antisep- tic properties than any other substance that might be employed by the human subject with- out danger. ‘The observations of M. Burg ap- pear to be confirmed by statistics received from several of the more prominent seats of copper industries in Great Britain. aes!

Such a paragon, however, is rarely to be met with, except as an emissary from one or another of thoseadmirable institutions where ladies are trained under skilful management for this work; and in the vast majority ef cases an invalid is placed in the hands of his immediate friends or relations, who, with the best inten- tions, it must be confessed often prejudice his comfort and retard his recovery by the very over-anxiety which is bred of affection. The object of this paper is not to convey the instruc- tions necessary for the education of an accom- plished nurse—a difficult task—but to enume- rate a few small points which should be avoided, as tending greatly to the discomfort of the pa: tient, and for the guidance of those who, with- out previous experience, find themselves sud- denly thrust into this most responsible posi- tion. Quictude is a great thing, of course, but real quietude means the absence of all excitement, and it must be remembered that anything out of the common will tend to excite the mind of asufferer. Do not, theretore walk on tiptoe, for this, in addition to its unusual elaboration of the gait, invariably causes a certain amount of creaking. Speak in low tones, but don’t whisper; a whisper will often awake a sleeper who would not be disturbed by ordinary conver- sation; and never say “Hush!” Let your clothes and foot-covering be of as noiseless and unobtrusive a character as possible, and in- stead of gliding and tottering about like a rickety ghost, do not hesitate to walk, if you have occasion to say anything in the room say it so that the patient can hear it if he wishes, and do not let him be aware of yonr conspiring privately with the others, especially at the door. That door has much to answer for. If it be visi- ble from the bed people open it cautiously pat their heads in and slowly withdraw again. It.as is more frequently the case, it is screened by the bed curtains, mysterious openingsand shuttings are heard, unattended with any apparent ingress or-egress and sotto voce colloquies go on outside. When you enter do so honestly and at once; do not spend five minutes in turning the handle, like a housebreaker, thereby producing a series of irritating little clicks, finally terminating in a big snap, with which the door flies open, If the latch be at all rusty a handle that is slowly wound back in this way will often stick, and elther require to be rattled back into position, or, ifleft as it is, may start back suddenly, after atime, of its own accord, with a report like a pistol shot. It is always well to recollect that it by no means follows that a sick person is asleep because his eyes are shi ie may be acutely conscious of all that is passing in the room, though unable or unwilling to make any sign; and nothing can be Inore maddening under such circumstances, than to have people hush-sh-sing and whisper- ing around and creaking about on the tips of their toes. We have all sympathized in our hearts with poor Leicester Dedlock when his tongue was smitten with paralysis with his sis- ter constantly bending over him and with clasped hand murmuring: ‘He is asleep!” till, goaded to desperation, he makes signs for his slate, and writes, “I am not.” Never stand at the foot of the bed and look at the patient. While talking to hin, it is better to sit by the side of the bed, and as near the pillow as possible, so that you may converse easily, while your face and body are turned in the same direction as his. By this means you can make ali necessary observation of his feat- ‘ares without enforcing the arrest of his eyes to your own, which is so embarrassing and dis- agreeable to one lying in bed, and is almost un- avoidable when facing him. Keep him in as comfortable a position as possible, by all means, but don’t be too demonstrative in smoothing the pillows and little offices of that sort. Fidgety attentions will worry him, and do him more harm than downright neglect. ———_-2- —___ The Black Man None the Worst for It. | From the Boston Herald.

The social science congress, before which the statement was made, has resolved to memorial- jze the government to take steps against its extension. “The scion of a noble house cast from the raging sea of life upon the shores of Oregon” has revealed his identity to a reporter of the Portland North-west News, and stands contessed | Anderson Dr Emil Hugo Ney, grandson of the defunct marshal.
