To Perrtms Nore Parer.—To perfume note paper get a few quires of blotting paper and sprinkle the sheets witn the perfume desired: then put them under a weight until they be- come dry. When ary put note paper, enyel- opes, ete., between the sheets and place them | under a welyht for a few hours; when removed they will be found perfuned.

Sprinkie more cranbs on the top, strew about bits of butter and brown quickly in a hot oven. A Distyrectine Lamp.—aA disinfecting lamp | can be easily prepared for purifying any place | where a disagreeable odor is perceived, being especially aseful .n sick rooms aud In damp cel- lars where vewetables have decayed. Take any glass lamp for burning kerosene or oil, fill it with chloricether, and light. The old-fashioned camphene or “burnin fluid” lamps, with a small | round wick. will burn longer, and be of more service than the flat wicked lamps. While the | ether burns a disinvectant escapes that will soon | purify the most offensive atmosphere; even that of a sewer. To Restore Faprep FLowers.—As a general rule, hot-hunse flowers will droop aud fade ina day and a night; yet there are kinds, such as the camelias and eupatoriums, which can be kept | lonzer if the water is changed morning and night, anda few drops of camphor spirits added to lt. But if the taded flowers are put into a dish of scalding hot water deepenoush to cover one-third of their stems. by the time the water has cooled the flowers will have become fresh and put them into cool water with a small bit of saltpetre In {t.

Then cover thickly with crumbs, and on them place more pleces of butter.

Serve in dish in | which it was baked. Oxe Way to Cook Oysters.—Various are the dishes that can be made of the oys- ter Here Is one not very well known: Take | a smail loaf of bread: cut off slice from| the top: then, with a spoon. remove the inside | of the loaf. leaving the crust nearly but not quite an inch thick; make a very rich oyster Stew; poura little into the loafto moisten it; then put ina layer of oysters; then of bread crambs well salted and peppered: put the top crust on, and set Itin the oven ina dripping pan; wet the crust with the yelk of an ez or with sweet milk in which you have put a little suzar; serve hot; let it remain in the oven for trom fifteen to twenty-five minutes.—New York Post.

As soon as they assume a light brown color they should be drained and served imme- diately on a hot platter. Oysters should not be fried until the persons at tabie are ready to eat them, as It takes only a few minutes to try them, and they are not good unless very hut. | Canam Frirrens.—One pint of milk. the yelks | of six and whites of two egys, two tablespoon- tuls of swzar, half a pint of flour, three heaping | tablespoonfuls of butter, half a teaspoonful of | salt, cht favering of lemun, orange, nut- | mez or anything else you please.

With a ratner faticued air he asked man’s where afew minutes. He seemed so harmless and tired and coid that the foreman consented, the old chap siuffied along into the barn.

Perkins was sharply outlined against Vivian MeNuity’s left ear as he stood that beantiful June evening in the doorway of Brierton Villa hoping against hope, and praying that somethingz—he knew or cared not what—nilzht occur to sweep from the horizon ot his life the avful sorrow that was hanging over it like a pall—a sorrow that would make every day an eon of misery, every word of Joy that others might utter a knell of! despair. They had quarreled, these two—they who fn the beautiful days of autumn, wien the leaves were turning gclden, when the bills were crowned with ember light and the valieys seemed like haze cups brimming over with a purple haze. and when the trotting record was lowered to 2.0834, had plighted their troth so willingly and yet so solemnly, thinking, and rightly, too, that this blending forever ot two hearts was a solemn, holy act, one that should ever be looked back upon in silent gratitude— and oow they were to part forever, take sepa- rate paths on the eventful Journey of life—that Journey which they had hoped by constant com- panionship and enduring love to make one of ceaseless Joy and sweet content. But now all } Was changed, and the rose-tinted future which they had often pictured to themseives aud talked about in the calm hopefuiness that oniy a young man on £75 a month and a pure. passion- less girl who can vat the botto:n crust of a pie without a quiver can asxume had passed away forever, and in its place there was a yawning chasm of despair and urief. - “1! cannot marry you,” Esmeralda had said to him that night ashe entered the house, and then, having uttered the ernel words which she had been schooling herseif all the day to say and seeing how they had pierced like a dazver that brave, manly heart, she bad thrown her- sel! into his ar.js, and as her white tace, down which the tears were streaming, lay apn his heart, Vivian MeNulty knew that the words which Esmeralda had spoken did not come from her heart—knew that some terrible mystery was enshrouding buth their tiv its “darksome folds. And_as he held her sobbing in his arma the light from the chandelier above them streamed down in golden radiance upon tae broad, white brow, from which the fair hair waved away, fell across the lony. strangely dark eyelashes, giving just a m of the beautiful biue eyes beneath. across tie sweet red mouth quivering like aurieved child’s. And then, as he bent forward teaderly to kiss away the tears, sthe girl had drawn back—not in anger. but with an expression of unutterable pain on ber face, and spoken the tree words with wich this chapter opens: , “Good-bye, McNulty.” For an instant the man could not reply. He had not fit such ashock since meeting his father in the giddy whirl of a poker game and going home with nothing but a contrite heart and a lead-pencil to show for his month’s wages. He still held Esmeralda’s hands in bis, and the girl was looking up to him with eyes that were tearless now, but in their depths there was a look of frozen horror, a my-bustle-has-iot-loose expression, that pierced his very soul. And when he had asked for an explanation of her | | words—not demanded: it asa rigiit, but pleaded for it asa favor—she had only shifted uneasily onto the other foot and burst into a storin of sobs. “I can only tell you,” she murmured. when finally bis axonized entreaties had moved her to Speech, “that our marriage would render your life one of constant misery; that it is better we should part now than commit an error which eternity alone could efface. You will never know how I love you, Vivian—never know the dreadful agony that tius separation is causing me. God knows I would greet death with smiling face and outstretched arins to-norrow now that you ere lost to me forever, for what Is life without your love, and presence, and kisses but an unceasing tor- tare? If I loved you less, if your love were not enshrined In my heart as something to be wor- shiped evermore. I would not take this step. It was wrong, very wrong. I know, to allow this love to overmaster my whole being, but it is better to wreck one life than two, and so again I say ‘Good-by’"—and, lifting her pure, sweet face to his, Eseraida kissed him gently on the lips and turned to go. top!” exclaimed Vivian In an tmperious, whoa-Einma manner. “I pleaded with you for an explanation, but now Udemand it. It is my Tight,” and drawing himself up proudly, he broke his leit suspender. ‘You speak truly,” replied the girl. “An ex- planation of my action is due you. Know, then, that I am a victim of heredity.” ‘Or what?” asks Vivian, Of heredity.” repeats the girl. “In what respect?” he demands, his voice hoarse with agony. “I bave.” said the girl, steadying herself against the @ano, ‘inherited my father’s snore.” ee Fire or Food? ‘From the London Telegraph.

Suddenly footsteps were beard nearing the door, and a moment later a pistol shot rang out.

By the woman's side a revolver fell, with one of the barrels empty. She had fired tire shot just as she res the door, evidently, | and the ball entering her brain killed her imme- | ately.

The woman never moved after striking the floor, and when the doctor arrived he found h neeless. NNE RETICENT. | Officer Dertield then sent a dispatch for Coro= ner Martin, and that official arrived about five o'clock. He bezan an investigation by ques- tioning Mr. and Mrs. Dunne, but they were both reticent and refused to furnish any partle- ulars of the tragedy. Mr. Dunne was greatly overcome and seemed half stupetied by the affair, He adnatted that hot words had passed between the dead wonaa and hknself, but what their purport was he refused to make known. He informed the coroner that the dead woman’s name Was Hosa Keiser and that she resided at No. 162 West 4 th street. The coroner gave an or- der for the removal of the body. and It was taken to an undertaker’s establisument in the Bowery. AT MIRS RET RESIDENCE. Coroner Murtin then visited the house in which the suicide resided. It is a modest look- ing brown stone dwelling near 7th aveaue. Miss Keiser occupied a bandsomely furnished room on the third floor. A pair of dia:nond ear- rings were found on the dressing stand, to- gether with a pair of gold bracelets belonging tothe young woman.

The landlady at once iden- Ufled the writing as that of Miss Keiser. 4 MEAGER HISTORY. The landlady seemed ata loss to give any history of the young woman. She sald that Miss Keiser had been living with her for about six months, and had always borne the reputa- tlon of being respectable. She knew nothing, to the contrary, ee said. and she was greatly attached to the young woman, as were all the guests in the house. She could give ‘Qo motive tor suicide. The young woman, she said, was employed by a reputable firm as a stenographer, and she received a handsome salary, Miss Keiser, the landlady said, seemed to have plenty of money and did not want tor anything. It was known by those living In the house that she was well connected, and there was an impression that she had left home be- cause of sume difficulty, the nature of which they did not know. “iss Keiser was about finely formed. She had fight hair, blue eyes and striking teatures, Sie was dressed ia a black silk dress, and wore a black cloth, close- fitting “Jersey.” She had on no jewelry except- ing a modest pair of pearl earrings and a small gold wateh.
