REFORM IN DINNER-GIVING. Simple Dinners Are Now Considered the + Elegant Dianers. | “A dinner eugegement, no matter whether the.cinner be large or small, . formal or informal, is the most exact- ing of social obligations,” says the Ladies’ Home Journal. “Indeed, I al- ways felt a double sciso of obligation when invited to a small dinner. In selecting the guests tor the small din- ner choose those who are congenial.

Could the Lay Mis Wife? stave Been A rether whique 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 a stop was made at McDougall avenue aman stepped off the back platform, where he had been standing, and the car moved on. Instantly a wild cry went up from the late passenger, which broadened into a hewl of despair as the distance between him and the trolley car wid- ened. As he shrieked he also ran and waved his hands frantically. The con- @uctor, 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 dis- tance. “What d'ye wart?” shouted the puncher of pasteboard. “1 want--the—lady~in there!” gasped the man, swinging his hat at the open car door. ‘Ihe car having come to a dead standstill, a woman arose, deliberately walked out of: the cer 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 cn the ground. A Boy's Easay 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,” end 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 is 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 he don’t want to forget. Then we had a woman ’t cooked 7:t us namad Salfy Journal. She was the funniest journal I ever saw. She was a bald- Peaded 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.” fei Si eae An Episcopal Bicyclist.

Fought All Day on a Cup of Coffee anD a Dish of,.Cucumbers. . 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 arose 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 to give him some di- rections in person regarding his move- menis.. The general sat down to the breakfast table after nearly all the staff officers had finished their morne 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 for a fresh supply of cigars. His col- ored servant “Bill” brought him two dozen. 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. The attentioa of all fashionable Lon- doners is now directed to the conspicu- ous revival of the craze for tweeds, Those of the present season are of fine texture and cost a handy sum. Canvas materials, too, of the thickest and coarsest qualities are putting in appearance, most of them displaying at least two colors, violet, dark blue and green making favorite ecombina- tions. The short, loose black coat is trying valiantly to make its appear- ance, but most of the tailor suits still adhere to the close, tight styles, the skirts growing narrower, and the coats being cut in the style of a man’s morn- ing coat. For street and out-of-door sport the Norfolk jacket is being seen frequently, but this is a trying fash- ion. A gown was recently seen at a Scotch country house, which combined the rare attractions of a tea gown and a dinner gowx. It was made of black mousseline de soie, striped with nar- row lines of fine jet, and falling from a square yoke of fine lace, 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. Except 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 a: 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 cther 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 Indon Telegraph.

' Torrents of Sea Wator Have Gone base 4 fe m Zears Rost. One is-reminded of the pretty fable about Arethusa aud Alpheus by @ ctigi-,~ ous story in the current number of Cassier’s Magazine. But in the ancient narrative it was a fresh water river ia- to which the pursuing lover was changed, and the fountain which repg- feseats the metamorphosed nymph nas Leen ideutied, while in the less ro- mantic tale now told a salt water stream disappears into a hole in the ground, and aj} the rest is a profund |mystery, says the New York Tribune. On the coast of the Greek island of Cephalonia, near the town of Argos- toll, there are two little flumes, or ca- nals, leading inland from the sea to the distance of about 100 feet, and then discharging their contents into fudely excavated pits, through whose badly fissured, rocky bottoms the wat- er immediately loses itself. At least as long ago as 1835 a mill was run by power from one of these flumes, and R 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 fer a century. One cannot help asking ig amazement where all that water goes to. The Messrs. Crosby, who fur- nish the account which Casstier’s prints, estimates that the flow in each channel umounts to 1,000 cubic feet per minute, ar 8,000,000 cubic. feet per day in both. ‘'wo smaller passages of a similar character have been observed in tho sanie neighborhood; and it is addev that along the shore, “at all points be- tween the two mills, and for an un- kKaoown distance beyond each, the wat- er is everywhere percolating through cracks and fissures of the lime- stone and sinking into the earth. Ths openings in the sea bottom are no doubt mainly closed by weeds and gravel, yet 20 in- considerable amount of - water must find its way to these mysterious depths brough such an extent of beach, lyites} du a rock that is practically as porous as a sieve. * * * it is difficult tw Jevide which is the greater marvel. the sea miils themselyes or the fact that they have remained, practically unknown to the scientific world up ta the present day, aithough described by several authors, mentioned in the guide Looks, and visited by admirals, gen- arals, bishops and distinguished clvii- vans,’ ”” Almost the only expianation hither- to offered, assumes that evaporation »vés on rapidly iz some subterranean cavern and thus disposes of the water. But as it is admittea that the remain- ing salt from che two mill streams alone would “aimount to 48,600 cubic feet a year it is hard to understand why the subterrapean cavern, if there be one, does not fill up. . The Messrs, Crosby. offer a different » hypotheals. ‘They ask the reader to tmagine two great fissures descending into the earth and meeting beiow like the sides ct a letter V or U. Then they suggest that perhaps one arm is shorter than the other and that there is a Ieng,very gently rising passage leading from the bottom of one to the bottom of the.oth- er, so that the sulterranean 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 island of Cepha- jonia, like some of its neighbors, bé* trays the effect of earthquakes innum- erable in times past, abounding in frac tures and faults, caverns and subter- ranean rivers. None of the spring og Cephalcnia contains any large quanti- ty of salt, however, and it is difficult to regard any of them as the overfiow of the flood which disappears at Argos- toli. But it 1s possible that, as Ak pheus is said to have done, it takes q dive beneath the sea and comes up o8 some far-off island. The Plucking of Fowls. The Australian method of plucking towls possesses the advantages of be- ‘ing rapid and easy. As soon as the birds are dead, plunge each in turn inte a 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; if kept in too long, the skin is apt to 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 can 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~ off 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 th By this means all the feather stump are perfectly removed. Ducks cannot be treated in the same manner, as oil in the feathers prevents the water from peuctrating @ wears.
