Simple Dinners Are: Now Considered the Elegant Dinners. “A dinner engagement, no matter whether the dinner be large or small, formal or informal, is the most exact- ing of social obligations,” says the “Indeed, I al- ways felt a double sense of obligation when invited to a small dinner. In selecting the guests for the small din- ner choose those who are congenial. If among your friends you number Physicians, lawyers or politicians, do not invite one of each class, nor all of one class, simply because their profes- sious are the same, but select congen- fal spirits, ‘Then small dinners, well arranged, are much more enjoyable than one large conventional dinner Served to sixty ill-selected people. The food is better, service better and diges- tion better and even when trained help cannot be employed the hostess may enjoy the occasion as well as the guests. The art of dining, remember, is quite apart from the art of giving dinners. A reform in dinner-giving is being instigated. Simple dinners are now ‘the elegant dinners.’ The man who has studied the art of living lives frugally. A hostess must never forget that during the short time her guests are under her roof she is re- sponsible for their happiness and com- fort. A huge dinner of twelve courses of badly blendad food is not conducive to either. Savarin said: ‘The dinner is a place where men are never bored for the first hour’; the insinuation that @ second shouid prove a bore is rather Prominent. Ig people in the ordinary walks of life are to make such enter- tainments a success they must never try pew or elaborate dishes, or even new ways of serving; they should sim- ply add an extra plate or two to the usual number and invite their friends.” FORGOT HIS PARCEL. Could the Luwdy tiave Beem His Wite? A rather unique instance of absent- mindedness occurred the other evening on the Jefferson avenue car line, says the Detroit News-Tribune. The car was well filled with passengers and as @ stop was made at McDougall avenue { a man stepped off the back platform, where he had been standing, amd the car moved on. Instantly a wild cry went up from the late passenger, which broadened into a howl of despair as the distance between him and the trolley car wid- ened. As he shricked he also ran and waved his hands frantically. The con- ductor, seeing the shadowy form in the dimness of the night and hearing the unearthly cries, pulled the bell-strap and thus induced the motorman to halt, which he did with a jerk. The man in pursuit came within hailing djs- tance, “What d’ye wart?” puncher of pasteboard. ““T. . want—the—lady—in shouted the there!” the ‘open car door. The car having come to a dead standstill, a woman arose, deliberately walked out of the car and was received by her breath- less escort, who had so nearly left her to her fate of missing parcels. Amid much laughter the next man who left the car in company with a lady insisted that she walk in front of him until safely on the ground. A Boy's Essay on Journalism. From the Atlanta Constitution: A bright little boy who attends one of the city public schools was told by his teacher a few days ago to write an es- say on “Journalism,” and the next day he handed in the following: “Journal- ism is the science of all sorts of jour- nals. There is a heap of kinds of jour- nals. Journals is good things ‘cept when they {s hot journals, and then they is just awful. My ma, she takes a fashion journal what is always full of pictures of horrid old maids with the ugliest dresses on I ever saw. The fashion journal is a heap gooder than the hot journal, “cause the hot journal stops the train and the fashion jour- nal starts it. The fashion journal don’t stop nothin’ but the broken win- dow light and pa’s bank account. “There is sheep journals and hog journals and brass journals, too, and pa has got a journal down town at the store and writes things in it about folks be don’t want to forget. Then we had a woman 't cooked iv us named Sally Journal. She was the funniest journai I ever saw. She was a bald- headed journal. “They ain’t no more journals that 1 know of. “p, S.—I forgot to say that a man what puts grease on the car wheels is called a journalist.” ee An Episcopal Bleyclist.

In the December Century Gen. Hor- ace Porter says of the entrance of Grant’s army into the Wilderness: After the officers at headquarters had obtained what sleep they could get, they aroge about daylight, feeling that in all probability they would witness before night either a fight or a foot race—a fight if the armies encountered each other, a foot race to secure good Positions if the armies remained apart. Gen. Meade had started south at dawn, moving along the Germania road. Gen. Grant intended to remain in his present camp till Burnside ar- rived, in order fo give him some di- rections in person regarding his move~ ments. The general sat down to the breakfast table after nearly all the staff officers had finished their morn- ing meal. While he was slowly sip- ping his coffee a young newspaper re- porter, whose appetite, combined with his spirit of enterprise, had gained a substantial victory over his modesty, slipped up to the table, took a seat at the farther end, and remarked: “Well, I wouldn’t mind taking a cup of some- thing warm myself, if there’s no ob- jection.” Thereupon seizing a coffee pot he poured out a full ration of that soothing beverage, and, after helping himself to some of the other dishes, proceeded to eat breakfast with an ap- petite which had evidently been stimu- lated by long hours of fasting. The general paid no more attention to this occurrence than he would have paid to the flight of a bird across his path. He scarcely looked at’ the intruder, did not utter a word at the time, and made no mention of it afterward. It was a fair example of the imperturbability of his nature as to trivial matters tak- ing place about him. The following is an incident of the next morning: The members of the headquarters mess soon after assembled to partake of a hasty breakfast. The general made rather a singular mea] preparatory to so exhausting a day as that which was to follow. He took a cucumber, sliced it, poured some vinegar over it, and partook of nothing else except a cup of strong coffee. The first thing he did after rising from the table was to call His col- ed Servant “Bill” brought him two ozen. After lighting one of them, he filled his pockets with the rest. He, then went over to the knoll, and began to walk back and forth slowly upon the cleared portion of the ridge. The Craze for Tweeds Revied.

It: was made of black mousseline de sole, striped with nar- row lines of fimesjetj and falling from a square yoke of fie Iace, with tight sleeves of the same, surmounted by double frills of kilt-plaited mousseline. This was always worn with the hair arranged in the latest French fashion, which consists of a waved fringe in front and waved hair at the’ back of the neck, with a small tight knob on the extreme top of the head. Another attractive evening dress seen at the same country house had a moire silk skirt, shot with green and blue, com- pleted with a pale green chiffon bodice high in the neck and formed entirely of tucks running crosswise, This has a yoke hanging in points to the waist of cream-color lace, studded with heads and jewels matching the three colors of the skirt. Jules Verne. Exeept when he brings out one of his marvelous books we hear little of M. Jules Verne, but the fact is that he is leading a very quiet life at Amiens. Although 68 years of age and wearing the appearance of a retired general, he is full of energy and as hard working as of yore. He is now busy in the exe- cution of his plan for publishing a se- ries of stories. bearing on different countries. Before beginning a partic- ular work M. Jules Verne reads up a number of geographical, historical and other hooks treating of that part of the world, and as he goes on the plot gradually germinates in his mind. He is indeed an active and laborious toiler. He rises regularly at 4 o’clock in the morning, and writes steadily until noon. He retires to rest at 9, except on two evenings in the week, when he accompanies his wife to the Grand theater, dining before at a restaurant opposite the building. This is his great treat. and he is fond of remarking that on these occasions he and his wife enjoy themselves just as if they were a young couple on their honeymoon. As a matter of fact, M. and Mme. Jules Verne have not been near Paris for the last eight years and find that their life at Amiens suits them perfectly.—Paris Correspondence London Telegraph. Kesented the Policeman's Presence.

One is reminded of the pretty tied yee about Arethusa and Alpheus by a curi- cus story in the current number of Cassier’s Magazine. But in the ancient: uarrative it Was afresh water river in- to which the pursuing lover changed, and the fountain which rep- resents the metamorphosed nyiiph nas teen identified; while in the ‘43s ©o- martic tale now told a salt water stream disappears ~ into a bole in the ground, and al] the rest is a profund’ faystery, says the New York Tribune. On the coast of the Greek island of: Cephalonia, near the town ofsArgos- toli, there are two little flumes, or ca~ als, leading inland from the sea to} the distance of about 100 feet, and them discharging © their contents into rudely excavated pits, through whose badly fissured, rocky bottoms the wat- er immediately loses itself. At- least as loug ago as 1835 a mill was run by power from one of these flumes, and a second mill was ‘built beside and op- erated by the other a little while after- ward. The mills themselves are now ‘n ruins, but the flow continues. This remarkable state of things has existed for over sixty years, and very likely fcr a century. One cannot help asking ip amazement where all that water ges to. The Messrs. Crosby, who fur- nish the account which Cassier’s prints, estimates that the flow in each channel amounts to 1,000 cubic teet per minute, ur 3,000,000 cubic feet per day in both. wo smaller passages of a similar character have been observed in the same nelghboihood; and it is added that along the shore, “at all points be- tween the two mills, and for an un- known distance beyond each, the wat- er fs everywhere percolating through cracks and fissures of the lime- stone and sinking into the earth. Ths openings in the sea bottom are no doybt mainly closed by weeds and gravel, yet no in- considerable amount of water must find its way to these mysterious. depths hrough such an extent of beach, lyiay vu a rock that is practically as: porous is a sieve. *+ * * Jt is difficult te Jecide which is the greater marvel, the sea mills themselves or the fact that they have remained practically unknown to the scientific world up to ihe present day, although described by several authors, mentioned in the guide Looks, and visited by admirals, gen- erals, bishops and. distinguished” civil- ians.’” Almost the only explanation hither- to offered assumes that evaporation ves On rapidly ia some subterranean cavern and thus disposes of the water. But as it is admitted that the remain- ing salt from ‘che two mill streams” alone would amount to 48,600 cubic feet a‘ year it is hard to understand. why the subterranean cavern, if thete be one, does not fill up. The Messra Crosby offer a different hypothesis, They ask the reader to fmagine two great fissures descending into the earth and meeting below, like the sides: of a letter V or U. Then they suggest that perhaps one arm is sborter than the other and that there is a long,very gently rising passage leading from the ‘bottom of one to the bottom of theoth- er, so that the subterranean heat can get a good chance to act on any stream passing through it. It then becomes, easy to suppose that a cold current of sea water comes down through one branch of the system and is forced. up- ward through the other by. thermal in fluences, The rocky islend of Cephae lonia, like’ some of its netghbors, bee trays the effect of earthquakes innum- erable in times past, abounding in frace tures and faults, caverns and subtere ranean rivers. None of the spring on Cephalonia contains any large quantt. ty of salt, however, and it is difficult to regard any of them as the overflow of the flood which disappears atkArges- toli. ‘ But it 1s possible that, as Ale pheus is said to have done, it takes a dive beneath the sea and comes up o@ some far-off island. The Plucking of Fowls. ‘The Australian method of plucking fowls possesses the advantages of be- ing rapid and easy. As soon as the birds are dead, plunge each in turn inta # pail of boiling water, into which one and a half pint of cold water has been thrown (the object is just to scald them), taking care that the water reaches every part of the feathers. One minute's sousing is generally sufficient; it kept in too long, the skin is apt ta discolor, and, if not long enough, the feathers will not easily draw. Every feather can now be stripped off in the easiest possible manner—in fact, they ean almost be brushed off. The skin never tears, and the insects that infest all chickens will have disappeared, When clear, pump on the birds to rinse oif the wet feathers that still adhere, wipe tenderly with « soft cloth, and hang up to dry witb a cloth fastened loosely round. This is to keep them from the air and preserve them white. By this means all the feather stumps are perfectly removed. Ducks cannot be treated in the same manner, as the oll in the feathers prevents the wates from penétrating = veaius. Windrift Wilson—“Say, Towsely, ole man, how’d ye git dat fine lay-out?
