UNNY WINDOWS FoR PLANTS.—If you have not sunny windows do not attempt to keep flowering plants. The west windows may al- ways be adelight if the plant stand be filled with aspidistra, ivy, begonias, and varieties of jem which only require light. A Novasie HousEKEEPER says that an eco- nomical substitute for butter may be easily mae. Melta piece of nice fat pork and strain it through a thin cloth into Jars. Set it aside where it will cool quick!y, when it may be used instead of butter for any kind of cake. Pound ‘cake made with it is pronounced delicious.

Gana MvFFINs made in this way are ‘wholesome for breakfast: One quart of graham flour, one tablespoonful of baking powder and halfa teaspoonful of salt sifted.

Remove the pulp and juice, and use the juice in making orange Jelly. Place the baskets In a pan of broken ice to keep upright. Fill with o1 jelly. When ready ioserve put a spoonful of whipped cream over the Jelly in each basket. Serve in a bed of orange or laurel leaves. AN AvrHogiTy 1x LAUNDRY matters says that borax is a valuable adjunct to the raw starch for collars and cuffs. Too much should not be used, as_it has a tendency to make the linet yellow. Lump borax may be dissolved in hot water and bottled for future use. Perfect! clear gum-arabic water is also an excellent dition. It is well to bear in mind that the Polish on cuffs and collars is the result of heat, jection and pressure.

The —- should be put on the pipes Wo the thickness of one to three inches accord- ing to exposure, and fastened very loosely with twine. AN EXcELLEST REcIPE for chicken cro- quettes, which are so popular now and so tre- quently served with salads at evening parties: Boll two medium-sized chickens until they are ‘very tender, chop them fine, add one pint of eream, almost half a pound of butter, with a Uberal allowance of pepper. The easiest way to shape these 1s to press some of the mixture firmly into small molds, or shallow eu, will do; fry them in hot lard until they are brown; some cooks prefer salad oil to butter, but clari- fied butter gives amuch more agreeable flavor and a better color. SALMI OF CHEESE.—Salmi of cheese is made by placing a pint of milk upon the fire and add- Ang to it two tablespoonfuls of grated or finely erumbied cheese. After this has boiled a full im Mute stir into it a tablespoonful of potato or wheat flour (the mormer is preferable) that has been wet with milk.

HE ACCEPTS THE THEORY, BUT CANNOT SAY WHETHER IT 15 DUE TO DIVINE POWER. In the second lecture of his series on evolu- tion, before the young men of Yale college last Saturday, Prof. J.D. Dana, the geologist, spoke upon “Evolution,a Fact in Organic as well as in j Inorganic Nature.” Among other things he said: “We may suy that there was only a special Divine act at the times of the different creations, especially at the creation ot species. This beilef is in no way athelstical. It is im- possible to ascertain surely how much of tne creation was due to Divine power, and it is reasonable and right to use all our means to find outas much as possible. There is no dis- | Unet declaration in the Bible of the creation of the species except that of man. The develop- | Ment theory may, therefore, be based on the | Bible. There is no reason to believe that the all- | powerful God would not come to the aid of nature in lution which it would not be abie | to accomplish itself. There is a higher nature within man which is an acknowledgment of an | infinite being. If God exists, he must be a God | of active power and infinite lov Evolution | Tust have been the work of an infinite God, | and whether it took place without Divine assistance is a matter worthy of much | thought. A systeu of progress of the highest from the lower looks very much lke develop- | ment or evolution, the only question being Whether it required Divine interposition to | create each separate species, as is held by some | who do not hold this view from religious mo- | P' tives.” Prof. Dana concluded by saying that ‘Was an article on evolution in the 1 number of the Nineteenth Century, by stone, which held nearly the sume Views as his own, ——_—_+e+_____ Adjusting an Incompatibility.

The other morning a boy about 14 years of age knocked at the door of a house on Brush street and asked the woman ifshe didn't want the snow cleaned off the walk. “How much?” she eautiously inquired. “Thirty cents.” “I won't pay it. If you want todo the work for 10 cents you ean go ahead." He leaned on the handle of his snow shovel and jooked thoughtful, and she finally queried: “Well, what do you say?” “It's just as that woman around the corner told me,” he replied. “I shoveled off her snow and she gave me 50 cents. I wold her I was coming to ask you, and she said— net, den't know her. What business is it to es, but— ‘What did she say?” She said I'd get left. She said that an: Woman who wore a plush sacque and passed it off for a three-hundred-doilar sealskin would be mean enough to go out nights and shovel her own snow.” Boy!” whispered the woman as she turned white clear around her neck. “I want you to clean off the snow.

They are sen- sible and practical men and the sense of respon- sibility would soon complete their parlianment- ary education. There would be no confiscations, no unjust legislation towards minorities; the land question would be settled by some sort of compromise between the renters and the ren- tees and the Irish ministers would have to steer between the Orangemen on one side and sny extremists that might be returned on the other side.

How it Controls His Wife, Hin Family and Friends—Queen Victoria a Trae ‘Woman. From the New York Sun, Loxpon, Jan, 2.—The guard had shut and locked all the carriages of the train. Friends left behind had gathered their handkerchiefs, and servants were turning back. Suddenly @ flurred voice from the train called out “John,” and the head and bust of an elderly but ag Jady, whom I recognized as Mrs, Gladstone, filled the trame of the window of a first-class car. John, a footman, did not hear, buta little German boy hard by, evidently a gentleman's son, had caught the call, and turned the man back to his mistress, “What a good little ‘boy you are, to be sure,’ said the gratified dame to the lad. “I must give xou something. | Here js a shiiling to buy rr. Gladstone's photograph,” ‘This occurred last week.” Mrs. Gladstone is an intellectual, benevolent, and emotional Woman, who worships her husband. She thinks ‘and speaks of nothing else, and she imagines that the country—nay, the ‘world—is absorbed in the same way. The whole family circle and not a few friends have long been in the same Idolatroux transports, and no oue who has breathed the air so laden with incense of Hawarden castle or of 41 Berekely square can honestly dispute the existence of the Gladston- fan schism. ‘The god is sensible of the worship he receives. Less adoration wonld anger him, He is neither an arrogant nor a cruel god, but he is decidedly an intolerant one. He destroys tyrants with his thunderbolts, He himself 1s unatterably domineering and dictatorial. Yet is he most humane, He would do good to all. Some, years ago, being out of office, Mr. Glad- stone undertook fo lead back toa virtous path the Haymarket’s sirens and with the thorough- ness and sincerity whieh typify all his actions, he set about doing the right missionary’s work.

Not long ago dne of the keenest foreign diplomatists accredited to this court said “to me: “Should Mr. Gladstone be con- vinced that it would be better for India und ber Faces to be independent, he would at once use all his means to sunder her finally from the British empire.” ‘Thestranger was quite right, and must have that one of the greatest Ei {not the greatest, would one du uler; for sure enough Gladstone seems now to have come to the conclusion that what England is forever p-eaching for distant parts, she can no longer taboo at her own doors.

He is in reality quite consistent,because in both. cases he has spoken with the utmost sincerity. In his eyes circumstances alone have aitered in the interval.

Mr. Gladstone is no courtier. He would never tell the queen, as did Lord Beaconsileld, that there are only three books—the Bible, Shake- speare, and “Leaves from the Highlands.” He is not theatrical,as was his greut antagonist, but the clamor of popular ovations rings sweetly in his ears, and he wants the world to listen to the echo of it. A few days ago, having recelved many con- gratulations on the occasion of his seventy-sixth birthday, he had them all printed in the papers, asa hard-up speculator with unexpected testi moniais would have done.

With is nose and forepaws he ushed the door a little open, and. ina few seconds emerged witha rabbit in his mouth and laid it at_ my feet. He returned imme- diately to the barn and produced yet another rabbit. In this way he continued ‘untill had four rabbits in my possession. They also were suffand half frozen, and bad obviously taken shelter in the burn to get out of the cold, at least a little. The cock soon put them beyond any further torture fron Yhen I returned to the prairle bilzzards, house 1 found the boy in a high state of excite- ment in the parlor. He was dashing among chairs, making carroms with his body against tables, and whooping and waving his arins like a veritable savage. My first inpression was that the boy had gone out of his head alto- gether. But'the mystery was soon explained when I saw sparrows, robins, larks and other small birds fluttering ‘among the window cur- tains, perching upon my picture frames, or lashing frantically trom wall to wall, ‘They had all become completely thawed out by the heat of the room and the pockets of the over coat, and with the thawing out had returned the ‘desire for freedom and wild, unpal- lor life. Topened the window wide, the pant- ing youngster ‘shooed’ them out, and that was the last Tsaw of our tiny, temporary guests.

THE IMPORTATION OF THE REAL ARTICLE AL- MOST AT AN END. ‘The United States now successfully produces numerous imitations of foreign cheeses, notably Swiss, Limburger, Munster, fromage de Brie, Neuchatel, cream cheese, and fromage @isingy. Limburger is made so cheaply and in such perfection in the United States that its importation has nearly ceased, Still, the im- ports of cheese {nto the United States amount to over $954,000 a year. The demand for the different kinds of foreign cheese is in the order named: Gruyere, Edam, Roquefort, Brie, etc., Stilton, Parmesdn and ‘English Cheddar, etc, Pineapple, Little Champion, Young América, Victoria and English dairy are known to the trade as American fancy cheese, and have a large sale In this country. sides Stilton and Cheddar cheese, England produces Queen’s Arms, Cheshire, Wiltshire, Gloucester, Leicester and Derby. Stilton cheese is In the shape of @ cylinder, ten inches high and eight inches in diameter, and is worth on Uhis side of the water 45 cents per pound at wholesale, Cheddar is similar to factory cheese in appearanee, and is worth 32 cents. Cheshire and Gloucester are flat cheeses and are worth 28 cents and 29 cents a pound respectively, Roquefort cheese is made from the milk of goats and sheep, and the product ripened in Vaults constructed in limestone caves and. fis- sures. Each cheese weighs about five pounds, and is worth 38 cents a pound. ‘The other popular cheeses of France are Camembert, Pont "Eveque and fromage de Brie.

For instance, the air in a room may be quite hot, and yet a large window, however air tht wili make itself unpleasantly felt on a cold day, just ason board ship the propinquity of an iceberg is announced by a lowering of tem- perature. A sereen interposed between the window and any one exposed to its malign influence will olten afford great relief, and one reason why rooms so frequently feel more com- fortable in pd eho Ta that the cold glass is effectually shut off behind the closely drawn curtains and binds. In countries where the winters are habitually severe the advent of frost 1s usually the signal for the fixing up of inner windows, the layer oft air between these and the outer ones forming an excellent barrier to the escape of heat, owing to its low conduct- ive power, Cold walls also Induce a sense of chilliness, but eS are properly built there should be no difficulty in Keeping them warm on the inside. ‘The experiment has sometimes been tried of warming rooms by means of hot air only, but the result has never been good, und ior this reason—that, in order to warm ‘the ‘walls to the requisite degree, the air must be far hotter than is healthy or agreeable for breath. ing. Infact the principle is wrong; the air should not warm the walls, but the wali should warm the air. An open fire acts in this latter way. The rays of heat from it pass through Uie air without heating it, and pro. duce no effect till they impinge on “the wails, furniture, and carpet of the room. These, boing thus gently warmed, communicate thelt heat by contact to theair about them, and in this way, while the objects in the room are raised toa sufficient perature, the air ts not rendered unpleasant by beng overheated. We see, then, that our favorite open fires “have much to recommend them, whatever may be said about their wastefulness, and as regards health and comfort they are much better than close stoves, which, though they radiate their warmth, also heat the alr In contact with them, ‘and are apt to do 0 to excess, if A Pen Pieture of Perry Belmont. ‘Washington Letter in the Cleveland Leader, seen kissing one another by’ the hotel pro- Bieter, who came tn tifveen minutes later,” It supposed she softly murmured “Yes,” WASHINGTON'S COLORED ARIS- TOCRACY. Leaders in Secicty, Pillars in Charches, ‘Musicians and Artists, From the Chicago Tnter-Ocean. There isan aristocracy among the colored People of Washington aswell as among the white, and it is quite as exclusive, The focus or Pole around which the high-toned colored so clety revolves is the Filteenth Presbyterian ehureh, which stands in an aristocratic section of the clty—McPherson square. The lehding men in this church are exSenator Bruce, Dr. Purvis, John M. Langston, late minister to Hayti, who has recently been elected president ofa colored college in Virginia; Prof. Greener, who Is now in New York in charge of the Grant monument fund; the Wormleys, who are pro- ‘rietors of the most aristocratic hotel here; George, Cook, the: superintendest ot colored Schools; John F. Cook, the collector of taxes of the District, and others of the creme de la creme. ‘The pastor of this chureh is the Rev. Mr.Grimke, @ young man of about thirty-five years, who was uated at Lincoln university with the Piledictory of bis class, and studied theology at Princeton. Congressman O'Hara, of North Carolina, is a member of the coterie, but singu- larly enough he and bis wife are Catholics, and attend St, Augustine's church, Mrs. O'Hara is one of the loveliest ladies in ‘Washington, and were it not for the slight trace of negro blood in her veins she would be & tender, In white society. Like Mrs, isruces who is also beautiful, she is a highly educat gd accomplished woman, speaks French, plays Beethoven, paints plagues, and is up in artand literature to a degree that would make some of her white sisters blush for envy. Both Mrs. Bruce and Mrs. O'Hara are very nearly white, and it would be dificult for a stranger to detect their relation to the African race, Mrs,O'Hara has a white governess for bor children, and Intends that they shall be as accomplished as herself. These people have their own society, give balls, dinner parties, receptions, and other en- tertainments, and pay formal visits on regular reception days, just ike the ladies of official life, Ata “high tea” or ball given by this circle of the colored aristocracy one can find quite ax much intelligence, quite as much beauty, and quite as much grace ot manner as will be ‘gath- ered at any of the swell receptions of white folks.

From Town Topics. The splendid pageant of the opening of Parlia- ment and the passing of the queen in state from Buckingham palace to the house of lords recalls the day, as men look on her, in her Mary Stuart mourning, when she travelled that same route asa happy young bride. Victoria, like all other girls had some lovers before the lueky one came. Her first was the late Lord Elphinstone, a tall, singularly handsome young Scottish peer, who was sent to Madras as gov- eruor to get him out ot the way. Her next was Lord Fitzallan, another six-footer, a splendid Young officer of the First Life guards, grandson of the then duke of Nortolk, and ‘afterward duke of Norfolk himseli;but he was a Roman Catholic—a fatal objection, Fitzallan fell pas- sionately in love with a pretty bar-maid, who administered beer at atap opposite the Horse Guards and wished to marry her. His family sent him abroad to get over his young passion, and, falling ill_at Athens, he married the daughter of Admiral Lyons, British minister there and sister of Lord Lyons, remembered as miuister at Washington, who had attended him through his sickness, and who is still Hv- ing as dowager duchess, ' Her third lover was Lord Altred Paget, one of the Marquis of Angle- sey’s splendid sons, an officer of “the Blues,” standing about six feet two,, who is the father of Capt. Paget, married to our Miss Miunie Stevens, and who was then her equerry-in-chief, and has continued an equerry ever since. ‘This love affair was regarded as so danger- ous that King Leopold of Belgium, the queen's uncle, brother ol her mother, the Dutchess of Kent, was sent tor, The result was that Prince Albert was sent for next. Albert was at that time a courteous, chaste, quiet, mild, bland, accomplished prince, but here aud there a keen observer might have detected on bis round, full face a flush, and in his manner a_fiutter which bespoke the agitation that swelled the heart beneath, Over the chimney piece, too, of his student chamber there hung One of Chulon’s exquisite drawings of Victoria, which, though, too flatteringly graceful and airy even then, still when surrounded with the in- terest which of itself leut beauty to a young girl laced in such a position, gave a fairer idea of her than would be imagined in her present grosser figure and highly colored face, as pre- sented in the most correct and delightful pic- tures of court life, by Adam Badean, in ‘the Sun. Albert, though little noticed, had been resent at Victoria's coronation scene, a silent, ut not, we fancy, an uninterested spectator. When Victoria was seated on Prince Edward’ throne, and the shout which proclaimed the girl he’ was educated to look on as bis wile queen of that empire on which the sun never sets rang along the roof of the good old abbey and Was borne on the boom of guns down tothe City Tower, he must have felt some emotion: and when she tripped over, with agile grace, to lift up old Lord Rolle, who lad tumbled, may we not fancy’ that emotion grew into some softer feeling, Well, at all events, when Leo} bert, quis and with luggage light asa your American starting for Arkansas, the appointe: youth booked himself in the all steamer Which staggers between Osten and Dover. The affair was very quietly managed by Leo- pold. In the court’circle column the prince's bame found rather a mean and minioned place, and as the prince and queen went out the evening after his arrival for asaunter in the woods, theirstrol wus unobserved, except by the select few who were in the secret, Our only idea as to how a prince makes love we derived by seeing, when we first came out here, Mr. Forrest as the sweet prince of Como, breathing love like an affubly sighing rhinoc- eros to the spirituelle Mme. Ponisi, and guess ing what star they would inhabit when love be- came eternal, We thought it very funny, but Victoria’s maid, Rosalie—u kind, mischievous, merry little elf from Longenschwalbatk, an who was more excited that evening than Vic- toria herself—prattied, for a little guilder, to the court news man of how Albert's meek e} when they returned, were radiant with Joy, an Victoria looked slightly fusned, and wore in her girdle asinall tower—the flower of a love which through all the darkness of widowhood, has never lost its freshness—and her straw cot taze hat was crushed back in front.

WoW SOCIETY BELLES GET READY FOR THE WINTER'S ROUND OF GAYETY, From the New York Morning Journal. “We are most of us in training for the winter campaign,” said a well-known belle the other day. “Noone has any {dea of the strain upon one’s constitution when so much dancing, late hours and atternoon receptions and teas make up one’s life for five or six months,” she con- tinued. “Generally I rise about 10 o'clock and breakfast while my maid brushes my hair, jen at 1 o'clock Iam off to a luncheon, and only leave to attend three or four receptions, Home again at 5:30 to dress for a dinner party, and then to the opera.
