FOLLOWING THE FOREIGNERS a ee Is the First; Then Come Some Depart- ment Clerks—The Autograph Fiends Are Peeuliarly Virulent Adie Dawdier and the Tramp. pomanren ae Written for Tre Evesine Stan: My nuisances we in Washington can hold “Jour own, for we not only have most of those that afflict other cities, but we have a select assortment that are pecu- Hiarly our own. Tiere is, for mstance, the in- dividual who moves in the socicty of foreign- ers—or tries to do so—not because foreigners are intelligent or interesting, but simply be- cause they are not Americans. The American girl and the Italian count—that charming, swarthy macaroni eater, who hasn't a penny to | bless himself with, who hasn't the faintest vestige of a family in Italy, except possibly a former wife whom he has runaway from, who takes to beating the poor, deluded, falsely ambitious girl who has married him, and who ends his career, after she has wrecked her hfe and has finally been divorced from him, by going back to the sweet melodies of his hand organ and the congenial company of his monkey—the Ameri- | can girl who marries the count becanse he is a count, or, . says be is, i# @ nuisance na- tional in character, and is even found in the &reat and boundless west, where | posed to be truly American. Bu' the type of foreign-loving nuisance that bothers us here. Our foreigners are men of position in their own country and are entitled tu consider- tion in ours, and adoring them is not quite such blind folly with us as it is in other places where they are so often adventurers abou whom nothing whatsoever is known. Never- theless we have a little band of nuisances here who follow the foreigners about and accord to | them a devotion that is laughed at by no peo- ple more than bv the foreigners themselves, LERK NUISANCE. Those other social nuisances that go to the HEN IT COMES to the matter of social | theater in parties and talk and giggle to the @nnoyance of everybody who is near them, or who sit in a box and flirt so desperately that many of the audience find it diflicult not togive attention to the amateur drama in the box rather than to the professional actors on the Stage. are not particularly local m character either, but the department clerk who continu- ally talks to you of the public business, and would impress upon you the fact that h i} he alone ownes the government of the United States isa flower that we may claim as a native i product of our soil. He doesn’t make you | mad, for he is not really harmful, but you treat | him with a charitable pity. During the heat of the summer, when everybody takes a vacation, he tells you that he “can’t get away,” and inti- mates pretty strongly that it is impossible for the department he is in to get ou when he is absent from his desk. He has actually fooled himself into this belief, but | he does not succeed in deceiving any one els». | Heavens! What a weight of responsibilty he carries on his shoulders. Such deep and serious thoughts surge through his brain that he rarely smiles. He goes to his oitice on Sundays, to | see that nothing has befallen the government simce Saturday night, and if by chance he | should take a little leave of absence, he does | not dare to leave the city, but comes to his desk | every day for a little while to keep his eye won | public affairs. Once in a while he gets ill from Overwork and over responsibility, he says, When he walks into the department in the morning he has the preoccupied look of one | who has been cogitating great problems of administrative government all night long. He { performs the work of a copyist with the air of & judge of the Supreme Court writing a legal opinion, and he actually seems to get the idea that he wrote the state paper that has been given him to copy. He is a terrible bore and a} great nuisance to those who are thrown in con- | tact with him, but he is so simple-minded and 80 thoroughly well pleased with himself that we are apt to put up with him instead of scoid- ing him. TRE AUTOGRAPH HUNTER. ‘The pestilential nuisances that write for au- tographs are local, too, inasmuch as they bother the public men whe live in Washing- | ton, and they not only insist upon having the Great man’s signature, but they often demand | his photograph as well, and it must be a de-| cided nuisance for the great man to pay for | © the photographs if. indeed, he does so and | they are not # present from the photographer; but the greatest local nuisances of all are the people who are eternally boasting of the dis- Tinguished people they know. The man who does this is not usually an old resident of Washington, because old residents gradually Bet used to constant contact with public char- acters. Of the latter i: cannot be said p: cisely that familiarity with them breeds a cone tempt for them, although it is true that, as no man is a hero to his valet-de-chamber, 80 iy it | unusual to find people who maintain a feelin of reverence and awe for a man they | see constantly, and who is, im the! private relations of life, no better than ordinary people. Washingtonians don’t boast of their acqu neces in public rs do. John Smith of Georgia, let us say. has recentiy been appointed toa small government office. Ho ealis upon his member of Congress, and the member, wishing to conciliate the Sm‘the, in vites him to dinner at his boarding house. After dinner Judge comes in and Smith | meets him, then Senator drops inand be | and Smith have four minutes’ conversation. The | result of all this is that John Smith becomes a | nuisance to all bis acauaintances. He talks of his member and of the judge and the Senator | in season and outof season. He speaks of “iy friend, Judge or “old Senator - whom I know pretty well,” who said so and so. | if he meets more public men he becomes in-| tolerable. Or perhaps Mrs. Joues, coming to Washing- ton to live, meets a few colonels and genera and statesmen, and when she begins to. enter- tain them a little imagines herself « woman marked for distinction—an American Madame de Stael, as it were. She writes 8 of cor- respondence to her friends, describing her honors, begins to dabbie u little tu politics per- | haps. and becomes a genuine nuisance to nny oue who has the misfortuue to come within ear- | shot or letter-shot of her. She gets worse and worse as her circle of distinguished acquaint. | ances becomes larger, until sie arrives at the Point when, as Spoopendyke used to say, she only needs some broken botties on her head to | make a good wall for a lunatic asylum, THE ILE DAWDLER AND THE TRAMP. We have another social nuisance here that isn’t local, but that is increasing in Washmg- ton so visibly that some notice ought to be teken of it, The young man who does nothing for a living is not very numerouy yet, but he is begining to make himself felt. He is ubiqui- tous. and at those ours of the day when other People are busy in their offices or are on the | street on business errands, in their work-day clothes, he saunters lazily along clothed like a bridegroom. He goes to his ciub in the morn- ing and he loafs there alone, for there are few prove there at that hour except the servants; e walks the street alone, for everybody is busy; he is in reality one of the most solitary snd miserable of individuals, but he thinks he | 4s fortunate, and many other young men, who don't kuow any better, envy him. ‘There is suother species of do-nothing nuisance—the gentleman of leisure, who enjoys his case upon | park benches, varying this monotony by loaf- if “bout the Police Court and sometimes in- voluntarily participating in the legal proceed- ings which take place there. He lives on an income, too—au income derived from ® grateful public that gives him sustenance, Sometimes calling it alms aud some- tunes shutting him ~~ mm a comfortable hotel, where he can be nicely fed and clothed. Oc. €asionally the public being niggardly he is Obliged to take a ttle something from it with- Out asking for it, There is more similarity between these two classes of gentlemen, who neither tou nor spm, than at first sight ap- Pears. Both could work if they chose, but do not choose. Unlike the man who has worked for one portion of his life in order hat be may loaf for the rest of his life they have neither of them ever worked at all, and the means of loating have come to them with- out any effort on their part. ‘here is, how- er, acaiculation and a certain amount of rain power demonstrated m the park loafer's existence which is wanting in his colleague. On the other hand. the hard citizen who ex. tracts his income from the public is a bad man, and the one who lives upon the moucy that some one else so kindly accumulated for him and then gave him ie not always bad. But he enjoys normal health he ought to hace st occupation, aud he is a nuisance to the rest of community that works when he hasn't, TRE CALLING NUISANCE, ‘There is another local nuisance of a purely cess—hundreds of them. thousands of them during “the season"—are a nnisance. Those women who go from house to house iu carriage loads, who have but jnst time enough to walk mto 2 room and then ont again, who must get through with a certain number of visits in a given time, become tiresome. It gives one a fatigued feeling even vow, when in the beauti- ful fail weather we are blessed with compara- tive quiet and peace, to think that in a month all this wild rushing and tearing about will have begun. Their bonnets are bemg made even now—oh, those dreadful white and pink bornets of the professional cailer!—their stiff sik dresses are in the dressmaker’s hands, the eard engravers are already receiving large orders, There seems to be no doubt but that there is more calling among the people of Washington there is among the people of other cit} all the world. A custom that almost exclusively feminine places and has its limitations among women here is followed toa large extent by men. If the bounets are bad enough the silk hats are werse. These professionals go the rounds sys- tematically. They cat and drink if it is given tothem, They make themselves thoroughly athome. They expect their cails to be re turned and then that gives them a chance to co it agam. There is no harm in social hey are a pleasure and bless him that calls and her that's called upon. But that iwu't the style of the calling tiend at all, What should be a recreation and a pleasure is made a busi- ness of anda most irksome business it be- comes, Itis a wonder that some of these nui- wees don’t die of hypocrisy. The same he same bow, the same stereotyped re- hat aro #0 desperately polite are bi stowed upon people who are comparative strangers, This nuisance shows no tendency | to abate, but each year grows into larger pro- portions. It would be a geod pian to start an anti-ealling league, an organized society for the prevention of professional calling. ‘These are some of our nuisances picked up haphazard, To make an investigation of nui- sances would turn the investigator into a com- mon scold and he would in reality become the greatest nuisauce of ail. soe IS WOMAN TO W oO? A Frenchman Discusses the Question— What He Says of English Women. From the Loudon Correspondence of the Independance The English are now discussing in profound eriousness the question, is woman to woo? Free translation: Should a woman ask the hand of a man in marriage? To a journal conducted by women for women, and entitled Woman, belongs the honor of having first posed this unexpected question; and new the press of both sexes, as we must say henceforth, is discussing the problem. ‘There is only one preoccupation, one subject of controversy—Is woman to woo?” To sum the matter up, the fatality of the age has insisted upon placing this question at the head of the order of the day. Since the English women have become Journalists, traveling guides, doctors in letters and sciences and claiza the privilege of voting and riding horses astride, a single step remains between them and the right of initia- tive in the matter of conjugal union. The obligation to wait countless Years for a husband must necessarily appear to them as one of those intolerable conditions of which must be stricken from the social code. Henceforth let men do the wait- ing. ‘h is the conclusion of the majority of the ladics consulted by Woman and its coter- z Only a few of the more modest are cannot consent to take the in which they have always played the part of besieged garrisons. Other little queens by grace or by beauty ask them- selves what will become of their royalty if from solicited idols they come down to tie po- sition of solicitors (solliciteuses), shaking under masculine noses the encensoit whoxe perfume up to the present they breathed indignity. But tne majority, the great majority, are for the interversion of the roles, for revolution. They only await the signal to charge upon the bach- elors and they answer all objections with the remark that many men are timid and need the encouragement of the outstretched hand, and that, notwithstanding all the pi dice and all the routine of centuries, the spectacle of the virgin who dares where the man who dares not is delightful, Recollect the discreet advances ofthe suave Desdemona to that bear, Othello; or read, rather, the bbe Constantin. But does this entire movement only mean, as an evil tongue has already suggested, that the majority of the collaboratresses and Jady read- ersof Woman are poor in attractions aad rich in years—wretched old maids who have be- comé ‘hed and yellow over their embroid- ery wuring their long and better existence; un- fortunate, disdained ones, whom love has ig- nored and who want love all the same, even if they have to take it by force? In other worda, »we on the eve of arevolution among the forgotten and the impatient? Itis not necessary to enter into the infinitely vast and charming diseussion of the great sub- j ‘There is only room in this letter for the meut of the plain fact that the English women are about to rebel against the tra- ditional strategy of love and that they are re- solved to take the lead im future, to do their own choosing, to marry, instead of to be mar- ried, Theretore, let the young foreigners who contemplate a visit to the British Isles take warning now. Let their ears be ready for Durning and sponianeous declarations on the partof the young Enghsh girls who may fix upon ther asthe men oi their choice. And let them not be surprised if in some little park or in thg corner of a ball room they en- counter scenes and overhear dialogues like the following: Angelina (taking the hand of her companion and looking into his eyes)—“Arthur, it 1s time for my heart to speak. Arthur, will you be my husband?” Arthur (stammering and placing his hand his hearty—“Ob, Miss, for goodness You blush, dear Arthur, Your eyes modestly cast down tell me of your con- fusion.

How touching he is in a famt!* ———_<+se__ “Little Phil’ gind the Brutal Driver.® One of the best illustrations of the character of Gen, Sheridan, says the New York Tribu, is related of him by Gen. Bassey, when in the early days of the war he was doing duty as quartermaster in southwest Missouri, “A pro- Vision wagon bound for headquarters,” says the general, “with its team of mules was stuck fast in the mud some few miles south of Spriug- field. ‘The driver, who was big, burly man, standing over six feet im heigit and built in proportion, finding that his team was unabie to move the heavily laden wagou, began to be- labor unmercifully the poor ts. Seated on &@ stout, shaggy. black horse. which was pursu- to the left of the road, was a broad- shouldered, low-size man ciud in’ a fatigue uni- form of the regulation army blue, but without any insignia of rank or staff buttons, and wear- img on his head an old much-battered cap, Vuiling up his horse at the stalled wagon the horseman demanded authoritatively of the teamster why he was whipping the animal so severely. “The only reply he received to his question Was a string of ouths, and to make matters worse the fellow struck the near mule a violent iow with the heavy butt of his ‘black jack,’ as the wagon’s whip is called. “In answer then to a shout frons the rider, the surly teamster said that if he did not take care aud mind his owa business a similar blow would be dealt to him. The threat was scarcely uttered when ‘Little Phil,’ for such it was, shot from the saddle and had the ruffian by the throat. Although it was evident that the as- sailant was much the smailer man of the two, still iua few seconds he had his opponent on his knees, and rained upon nis head, neck and chest a volley of savage blows, ending in twist- ing the whip out of the man’s hand, and ap- plying it vigorously over arms and shoulders, until the fellow fairly howled for merey, When ~ last the ne was permitted to arise from ¢ ground, he received as a parting warning a atyere hick from =n irate captain, “Who the devil are you?’ was the tron of the astonished and thoroughly frightened bully as soon as ho recovered suficient breath. ‘apt. Sheridan, quartermaster of this army, and if you don't get to work d—— quick to get this wagon out of the way I'll thrash you again.’ “It is needless to say that Sheridan's orders were executed with alacrity. The mules b; that time had regained their strength and wind, and in a few minutes the team and wa; on were on firm ground again, With a ing admonition “Little Phil’ mounted his patient horse, which had watched the encounter with seeming approval, and rode toward headquar- thing had hap- ters a8 uucoucerned as if no! ee Ethel (ambiti “What would you hina voice tke mine aah Maud (spiteful)—“I'd try to put up with it” in other | Social character.

HE TRIALS of an amateur musical composer are muiti- tudinous,” said Mr. Orlando G. Wales to a writer tor Taz Stan. “Not least among . them is the difficulty of mak- a ing the dedication. There is not one man ina hundred who can refuse a pretty girl when she asks bim to dedi- cate to her a piece of music UJ that he has composed. Once upon a time, not so very long ago, I got into quite ascrape on such an ac- count. Ihad composed a waitz and had not been able to resist the temptation to play it in various drawing rooms on a number of ocea- sions. The music chanced to be rather taking and appffeations for the dedication were corre- spondingly numerous, I was so cornered on the subject that, fairly in desperation, I gave an amiable promise to every girl who asked. When the piece was ready for publication 1 was atmy wits'end to know which of the seventeen applicants should be chosen. A lite tle thought convinced me that to make a selec- tion would be impossible and, to give them all the slip, I called the waltz ‘The Broken Prom- ise’ and dedicated it to my former chum at college, , “You want to know how an amateur like my- self composes music? It is very simple, though it is a question often asked me. All I can say is that the melodies I produce come sort of naturally. They strike me like a pain or any other thing rather surprising. Of course, if I were a professional I would be guided by the mathematical rules of harmony, but, being only an amateur, when one of my fits strikes me sit down at the piano and play what I have thought of 200 times, maybe until I have got it tosuitme. Fortunately for the neighbors my house does not immediately adjoin anybody else's. In any event, however, it would not be reasonable for me to consider their nerves or patience, inaamuch as art cannot afford to take such tritles into view. MAKING THE SCORE. “For purposes of musical composition I have a ruled slate so that I can correct things until Iget them to as accurate a point as could Beethoven or Wagner, When I have reason to be entirely satisfied with my much-mended effort I copy it into a little musical note book and store it away for future reference and di- gestion, You must not imagine that I can thump out an entire waltz at one ‘go’ in this tanner. All [ try to do is to form a few satis- ory measures, and when! have enough I shape them into’ my production for the pub- lisher’s eye. From one hundred to one hun- dred and fifty measures make the body of a waltz, and then it simply remains to do the in- troduction and the ending. The whole being thus concluded it is copied out ink and I sen it to the publisher. “I forgot to say that right here comes in the greatest difficulty—the name. ‘he list of pos- sible names for pieces of music—especially wWaltzes—has been so thoroughly used up that it is almost impossible to kit upon an attractive one which has not been used, But with a waltz, as with many other things, the name is three-quarters of the business, My first effort in this line [called ‘A Dream of Degutiful Women,’ and, after it was printed, I found that musical composers had had dreams of beautiful Women On not less than four previous occa- sions. CHANCES OF SUCCESS. “Aa tothe prospects of success for a new piece of music I can only say that about one in every 500 really ‘goes’, The musical publisher must possess a most high'y cultivated judg- ment in such matters, inasmuch as his revenue is directly in proportion to the popular success which the music he issues achieves, His posi- tion is somewhat like that of the theater man- ager, who, however great his experience, is never able to be sure how wella piece will take. If he hears it whistled by the small bo: onthe streetshe has the most fluttering in- dorsement of his own critical decision, Most pieces of music published—indeed the great majority—do well if they pay the cost of their issue, The lucky few bring in profits to the publishers and an emolument also to the toil- ers who produce them. You may well imagine that the royalty paid the composer is a small one. “It has always been an ambition of mine to assist in getting up a society in Washington for musical composition on a strictly amateur basis, the prime requisite for membership being that the candidate shall have produced at least one published musical flight, Such an organization would be of much use to young composers. I don't seo why this city should not have such a society. There is plenty of talent of the sort here and Washington pro- ‘ducers of music have already made for them- selves some reputation. “One of the most aggravating things about musical composition is the correction of the proof when it comes back to you from the pub- lisher. The fixing up of literary proof docs not approach it tor difficulty. Ali you can do is to daub yourself and the paper with ink un- til, atter long and elaborate toil, you get the thing to goright. Then you send it back the publisher and wait patiently for glory. MR, CLUGSTON VI: TED BY A POET. Who Learns Some Important Facts About the Money Value of Poetry. From the Chicago Tribune. “What would this be worth to you?" inquired a tall, slender man with a large and mobile mouth, a retreating chin and thin fringe of whisker on the angle of either jaw, as he walked into the office of the Doodleville Yelper and laid a bundle of manuscript on the editor's table. Editor Clugston picked it up leisurely and looked it over. “i'm! This is poetry, is it not?” he said. ‘Yes. A poem on ‘Immortality.’” “I thought I noticed that most of the lines seemed to begin with a capital What was the inquiry you made about ity” What is it worth to you?” Vhat is your idea of its value?” “Well, it took me four hours to write it. I burned midnight oil over that poem.” “I have done the same thing over a tariff editorial many a time,” mused Mr. Clugston. “And it scems to mo it ought to be worth eu ‘Are you aware, Mr,——" “My name is ‘Isnogglos—Perry Isnoggles.

THE PANIC WALL STREET. Dark Days of °73 Fortunately Averted for the Present. BOTH POLITICAL PARTIES TRY TO TAKE ADVAN- TAGE OF THE SITUATION—STANLEY'S RE-EN- TRANCE—NEREDITARY PUBLISHERS—A REALIS- TIO STAGE INCIDENT—THE BASE BALL CRISIS, Special Correspondence of THe EVENING STAR. New York, Nov. 13. At one time it looked as if Tuesday would be as black as the ever-memorable Friday in '73 when the whole financial fabric of the country trembled on the brink of chaos, The scene in the exchange recalled the turmoil in the great panic of that year and a very sensational and dramatic item was added in the sudden death on the floor of one of the brokers, partly, at least, induced by the great strain under which he iabored. The failure of Decker, Howell & Co. on Tuesday for $10,000,000 was an uncom- fortably close parallel to the collapse of Jay Cooke & Co. Both firms were carrying North- ern Pacific, and both found that burden an “old man of the sea,” who hugged them tighter and tighter and grew heavier and heavier till they sank exhausted under the incubus, Tuesday night was one of the most anxions nights in money circles that New York has seen for many a year. After a tempestuous day. marked by three great failures and with the loan market at panic rates, the contesting forecs were resting on their arms, waiting for a renewal of hostilities and of perhaps a battle to the death on the morrow. The market had siumped until margins were exhausted and money was hard to get at half of one per cen day. The ciearing house had come to the res- cue by pledging its credit to support three of its members that had found themselves beyond their depth and there was no telling how far the disaster would spread, Wednesday, how- ever, proved to be a happy disappointment; the fury of the cyclone was apparently ex- hausted and men breathed freer. THE REAL TROUBLE REMAINS, However, the real trouble remains, namely, the skeptical attitude of the public at large to- ward that machinery of investment known as Wall street, It is now four full years since the street has seen good times, It expects periods of dullness, alternatmg with booms; in fact, that is the way the money is made; but ever since 1886 there has been a_ slow, sullen decline in values and a diminution of interest in the business of stocks. Of course there have been occasional spurts, but the whole trend has been downward, As a consequence the street is in no condition for a fight. It is like a man whose vital forces have been wasted by a chronic disease or by some chronic vice until he can offer no resist- ance to asharp attack of fever or other enemy, and so succumbs, when of itself the occasion would hardly be alarming. It is this state of low vitality which wakes the present sickness in Wall street so ommous, At the same time it is so notorious that some of these spindling invalids have a remarkable tenacity of lif The republicans have been quick to seize the opportunity to declare that the panic has been the first fruits of democratic victory. ‘The democrats, however, claim that the skies have been threatening for montts, even for years, Atthe same time the results in the west have rather alarmed capital and may have assisted in precipitating what was already in- evitabie. STANLEY'S RE-ENTRANCE. Outside of the panic the event of the weck has been the reappearance of Stanley on the lecture platform. His re-entry, however, has certainly been much clouded by the horrible tales with which the public have been bom- barded of late, Mr. Stanley, upon the whole, hus conducted himself with the dignity that belongs to his place, and at the same time his friends regret that he has said even as much as he has done on the inside scandals of the expedition, Personally the great explorer scems to be in fairly good health and in vigorous spirits. He has kept aloof from almost all social engage- ments, and has settled down with the same &rim determination that has taken him so many times across Africa, to perform the jour- ney—quite as arduous in its way—that is in- volved in a protracted lecture tour through the United States in winter, THE BASE BALL CRISIS, Unless the signs fail at the last moment the Players’ League has disappeared from the horizon of base ball. The capitalists have been too much for the gymnasts, and mind bas beaten matter. All through the year the indi- cations pointed that way, and the conferences during the week in New York have practically settled the matter. It is very commonly said, however, that even e between the factions will uot restore the prestige of the game, cer- tainly not for one year. Possibly if the season iu '9L shall prove ‘to be a brilliant one people will torget the fatal disseusions that made a reorganization necessary, and will again de~ velop the crank bump in’all its pristine bump- ishness, This, however, isa matter of specu- lation, and base ball stock for a year or two will be @ particularly risky gamble. TOO REALISTIC. Afmost singular commentary on the play life of the stage came out during the week in a little episode that happened at the New Park Theater. In the play that is running there, are, of course, the two indispensable characters of the villain and the poor heroine who is pursued by the aforesaid villain, but ultimately check mates him in his nefarious schemes. On this occasion the heroine, according to her usual lines in such cases, provided by the virtuous playwright, was defending herself against the villain,’ and making a very de- termined use of a long knife for that purpose. ‘Ihe gallery boys were in a high state of ex- citement over her valor, when by accident she happened to scratch the villain with the knife and bring a stream of blood from the wound, whereupon the actress became hysterical and gave every indication that she would not have really hurt the villain fur anything, ‘The illu- sion was somewhat dispelled by this episode, but soon the villain’s wounds were staunched and the play proceeded, a little the worst for wear, but nevertheless to a successful termi- nation, when the curtain fell upon the last act. HEREDITARY PUBLISHERS, The death of Daniel 8. Appleton of the pub- lishing house of D, Appleton & Co. Thursday afternoon will more than ever throw the bur- den of that great establishment upon the third generation of the house. Already the hard work of the firm is done by W. W. Appleton and his brothers—the grandchildren of the original head of the house, The same is true of the great house of Harper Bros., which is now carried on by the third generation of the founder's family. ‘The house of Scribner is in the keeping of Mr, Chas. Scribner, son of the founder, and in general it may be said that tho great publishing houses of the city are almost without exception in charge of descendants of those wio gave the publishing business in this city its first impetus. A DIET OF H’0, ‘The curiosity of the week has been the fast- ing of the Italian, Giovanni Succi, He elnims to be able to subsist for an indefinite period on water and an occasional sip of “Elixir Succi,” and it must be said that he makes a model boarder, for he does somehow contrive to exist for protracted periods on this spare and simple dict. He arouses less interest, how- ever, than the famous Dr. ‘Tanner. Of this” Intter gentleman, by the way, I have heurd a curious anecdote. The doctor was accustomed to walk in Central Park for exercise during his he laid great stress on drinking at a bubbling spring in the upper part of the park, on ac- count of the superior beauty of the water, com- ing, as it did, fresh from nature's lap; but as, in point of fact, the spring was entirely arti- ficial and the water was the simple Croton arti- cle, the vigor which it was supposed to impart to Dr. Tanner wasa matter of faith rather than of science, Heyny R.

A Carr's Heap Senven a ta Tontvse or with terrapin dressing is a favorite Sunday breakfast, as it can be prepared, all but making the sauce, on the previous day, As Oyster Sovrrie is one of the latest do- vices for serving this bivalve. A genuine soufile cooks in a twinkling, so the oysters in the bottom of the soufile pan can never be overdone, Lissep On.

If this does not remove all the stains, scour well with a cloth rubbed with soap and borax. Por Purmse Ur tar Cevesrarep. Wres- BADEN Pnesenves,—It has been discovered that a small teaspoonful of lard in the mouth of the bottle preserves them just as well as olive oil, care being taken to Keep them in & cool, dark place, or wrapped in newspapers. Devitep Atwoxps.—Blanch as many sweet almonds as you wish to use, then put them to soak for twenty-four hours in sweet milk or cream, in which place also a red pepper pod. Then dry, fry in butter and roll them in salt and red pepper, Serve very hot, Aut Denicatr axp Fancy Hosrery should be soaked in salt and water before wearing, and stains of leather on stockings can be taken out by dipping them into chlorine water before putting them into soapsuds, Black hosiery is dipped in water in which is a little ox gall, Creme av Parn Bis.--Whip some cream till stiff and sweeten with sugar that has been crushed with thinly pared lemon rind; flavor with kirsch and strew into it lightly as_ much finely grated and browned bread crumb as it ke up without becoming heavy. Nr Taste Lixgw should be done up with very thin starch, called ‘water starch” by laundresses; merely a thickened water. Dipped in this the starch is uniformly held. Napkins should have not a particle of starch, but table- cloths need the least bit of it to bring out their gloss. Smart Tgans 1x Woorex Goons should be darned with ravelings of the same, having first put under a piece of the cloth, and afterward pressed carefully. Breaks in black silk gar- ments may be mended with bits of court plas- ter, and if the lace curtains become torn wet a piece of lace in starch and iron iton the wrong side of the curtain. Litrte Cakes ror Five O'Ciock Tza.— Beut up the whites and yelks of two eggs with quarter pound of sugar for half an hour; add to these two ounces of pounded almonds, quarter ounce of pounded cinnamon and twelve pounded cloves; stir into this mixture graduadiy half pound of fine flour. Koll out into long strips with the assistance of a butter spade and bake on buttered tins. To Sorrex a Waterrnoor Croax, place it before fire, instead of letting it dry cold, when wet. It will again become quite soft and plia- blo after a thorough heating. It is only the cheap waterproofs that grow so hard, but this process keeps them in good order until wet again, when the same process should be re- eated, holding every part in turn to the itchen fire. Tux Best Way to Fresnex Ur Omcioras without injuring their appearance afterward is to wipe them off after they have been swept with a cloth saturated with coal oil. The cloth may be pushed about with a broom and save a back ache caused by leaning over. It removes all the dust and leaves them bright and shining, an appearance which fasts longer than when they are cleaned with soap and water, &c. Coal oil is very nice to use to wipe the dust from furniture, If properly applied it searches out all the creases and makes thorough work. Many Women Anz Anvoyep by the rapidity with which braid wears off their dress skirts, The best qualitics of dress braid are finer and often do not wear as long as the cheaper coarser ones, The best material for binding a dress skirt is a bias band of good velvet put on as a roll. It will outlast three pieces of worsted braid, and, moreover, will save more than its cost in saving fine walking shoes from the wear on the instep caused by the friction of braid; this often causes the shoo to be shabby here before any other part of it is perceptibly worn, Errner oF tue Fottowixe Dressixncs may be used for vegetable salads: French salad dressing—Mix thoroughly three tablespoons of olive oil, a mustard spoonful of salt, » pinch of pepper and five or six drops of lemon juice; Herr tablespoonsful of vinegar, beat a minute and pour over the salad. Mayonaise dressing—Put the raw yelks of two eggs ina cold bowl, beat well, add a teaspoonful of salt,a pinch of cayenne pepper and half a teaspoonful of mustard; work well together and add drop by drop a half pint of olive oil. Stir rapidly and steadily while adding the oii, and caro must be taken not to reverse the motion, or the dressing may curdie, Then adda few drops of lemon juice to the mixture and thin to the proper con- sistency with vinegar. If kept in a cool place this dressing will keep a week. Ham Patr.—llousekeepers are often puzzled to devise a way to make the hard parts of a ham palatable. But after the better portion has been sliced off the remainder can be con- verted into a very tempting dish, Cutall the meat from the bone and chop it fine, boil six eggs hard and chop them also. Put in the bottom of a small, deep pudding dish a layer of the chopped ham then a layer of egg. Moisten with cream sauce, add a second layer of ham, another layer of eggs, moxten again with cream and cover the top with bread crumbs, dotted with bits of butter, Bake about half an hour or until the top is brown, ‘Ihe cream sauce consists of one table- spoonful of butter, one tablespoonfal of flour and a cupful of milk. Melt the butter and flour together and stir in the milk. Written for Tax Evenixe Stan. Two Rondeaus, ‘1.—WHEN SUMMER pres. When Summer dies, and in her leafy tomb Sinks, overiaken by the doleful doom Which, soon or late, is that of all things fair, I feel the sadness of the misty air, And all my thoughts a solemn tinge assume, No longer languid with her flowers’ perfume, The wind breathes low, and seeks her every- where, Missing her light, and loveliness, and bloom, When Summer dies, Like funoral tapers in a vault’s damp room, Red leaves the dusk of glimmering woods iliumine Dark pines and cedars stand like mourners there; ‘The brook’s deep voice sounds like @ priest's at prayer; And clouds the day drape with the weedsof gloom, When Summer dies, 2.—THE FIELD CRICKET, When birds have flown, that, loud and clear, While basked the earth in Sol’s warm blaze, Made melody afar and near, I still the blithesome cricket hear, And I of him will sing in praise, On his low lyre this minstrel plays, In Spring, when leaves and flowers In Summer, and, in Autumn's haze, ‘When birds have flown. ‘The twilight hours he loves to cheer, In fields and in the woodland ways, ‘Until the ieaves grow thin and sore, And flowers die, slain by frosts severe; So that the less I miss their lays, ‘When birds have flown. —W.
