It Yon Are Invited. Formerly a bride only received presents from her irainediate relatives and moat in- timate friends; now, every acquaintance is expected to contribute some token of re- gard, -and very seldom fans to do so. Everyone invited to the wedding is ex- pected, as a matter of amuse, to send a present. Formerly, everyone who sent a present thought it requisite that it should be accompanied by a note kof congratula- tion and good wishes, but now 11 has be. oome very ueual merely to send with the gift a visiting card, on which is written above the printed name "with," and be- low it, "congratulations and best wishes." ^Of course, near relatives generally write notes. Wedding presente may be made either to the bride or to the hridegroom; generally the nearest relatives' give presents both to him and to the bride. Presents may be sent et any time, from the day of the an- nouncement of the wedding up to the eve of the ceremony. It is well, however, not to be too precipitate, as in the event of the wedding not taking place, it is always &wk. ward and unpleasant for the lady to have to return her presents, whioh, of course, she must do under Bath oironnestauces.- Domestic Mentely. Coronation Ceremonies In Swazielaed. The natives are miking preparations for the coronation of their young King and ohief paramount of the Swazie nation. An impi has been sent out hunting for a lion, tiger, buffalo, and a large snake. Part of the ceremony at the coronation cowards of the King eating a portion of the hearts of the first three animals, to give him cour- age; afterward being anointed with the snake's fat to prevent him being bewitched. The buffalo's head is placed on the ground, and the young King sits on it between the horns, clothed only in the lion's skin on the first day, and in the tiger's skin on the second day, and on the third day he must come out of his kraal qnite naked and be presented to hie .people who corms up from all parts of SweMeland to ealute " Byate," the King of the Swazie nation, as the great lion, great tiger, and other titles.

There is e popular iaea that a military ban a socomperaes its regiment wherever it ,goes, and ploys in front of the line in the ohatge, or at the asseinit of the breath or entrenthments of the enemy. Although, however, our bandsmen have other &Wee, as stretcher Waren and dole attendants, to perform, and our flue regimental Wendel are not called imon to inspire our eoldiere in this feslaime, any soldier who has cam- paigned in the field, or performed arduous merolaes with his oorps, will be able to teetify to the good effed of martial music) when nun are called upon to perform some- thing beyond their ordinary danger or fatigue. Mara and music: are indeed old allies, and, 11 the effect of a dram, a fife, a trumpet, a bugle, or a bagpipe, upon the tired or overmatohed soldier,, has been at times a revival and renewal of vtgor, and increased courage, bow mnoh greater, it may be asked, would be the irispiration afforded by the blended harmony of many instrumento, pouring forth some air that appeale to the traditional glories of the regiment. " Mueio," we are told, hath charms to soothe the savage breast." Yet, there can be no doubt, this essentially peaceful art has power to exoite, in an equal degree, man's fiercest passione, and while the effect of music upon the main of a battalion, or even an eueire army, is wholesome and beneficial, the result is arrived at through eaoh eoldier in all poesible variations of degree and manner. One man has hoard the air in his childhood, and it brings back the fondest raemoriee of a happy borne; some associate the tune with success in former days, others with a sad regret, but played by the band of the regiment, with every comrade as en audience, in instinct of clap and kindship, of self-saorificie for the common weal, all are united in the resolve to do or die 1 A bagpipe to the uneducated or Saxon ear is not altogether " a tiling of beauty and a joy for ever."

If, in the pre-historio ages, our forefathers were distinguished from the brute creation by their know- ledge of fire and their instinct to cook something to eat, we may be tolerably well assured that one of their earliest pastimes was the imitation of tong uttered forth by the birds as they worshipped the light of Heaven.

The editor of Gil 131as in his last issue 'vouches for the truth of this story : Napo- leon I. was entertaining the Czar Alex- ander and the Prussian king at breakfast in Tileit, when the conversation turned on loyalty. " My soldiers obey me blindly," said the Czar. " And mine are anxious to die for me," added Napoleon. At the suggestion of the Premien king a test of devotion was agreed upon. The royal party was breakfasting in the fifth story of a bailding that faced a paved street. Eaoh memberWas to call one of his soldiers and command him to jump from the window. Napoleon made thea , first test. - "Gall the Gardiste Memo," he com- manded, and Menem appeared. " Will you obey any order I give you ?" asked Napoleon. " Yee, sire." "Blindly, whatever it is ?" " Blindly, sire." "Then Jump out of that window." "Bot I have a wife and two children, "1 will care for them. Forward!" And the Gardiste Marcum, with a military salute, walked to the window and leaped out. "Call a private of the body -guard," or- dered the Czar, whose turn came next. The soldier came. "What's your name?' "Ivan Ivanovitoh." "Well, Ivan, jaet throw yourself oat of that window." "Yee father," answered the guardsman, and he did it. "Command the bravest of my soldiers to come here," said the Premien king to his servant. A six-foot uhl&n, with a row of •orders acmes his breast and a scar uponhis forehead, entered. • "My friend," explained the king, "to show their loyalty a Frenoh and a Russian guardsman have jumped at command from that window.

Pieces from the round, chuck, or upper portion of the shank are all good. The meat should have some bone and fat. Cold meat makes a most excellent stew, as the roasting or broiling it has already gone through tends to improve the flavor. In preparing your meat you must first wash it. How would you do that? "Put it under the fthoet and rub it well." You might just as well take the sorubbing-brush to it I Io; to wash meet take a clean oloth, wet it with cold water, and wipe your meat carefully. Remember that cold water extracts the juices, and all Buell tome must be morally guarded against. Cut your meat in statill pieces, take off superflaous fat and bone and keep the bone for the bottom of the kettle; it will prevent from sticking or burning. To a pound of beef you will require one quart of cold water. Pat the bones in the kettle, and also the ragged, poorer bits of meat, that some of the juices may escape into the watinewhich is to form your gravy; then put the kettle on the fire. The meat vehicle you have oat in small pieces should now be well dredged with flour, then fried a good brown on both sides. As fast as they become brown put them in the kettle, and as soon as the con- tents thereof boil it should be moved to the back of the range and there allowed to simmer steadily fonahout three hours. To one good pound of meat add one small onion, sliced, one small carrot and turnip ant in cubes, dredged with flour, and alightly browned. Pat them in the kettle to simmer with the meat.

'BOW i0 true as a general law, but there are always some points whioh leave ,no room for experiments as to what will hurt another, and which yet may be,settled mice fur all by a few rules. If you have an acquaintance who te en. tertaining friends whom abe ui.ea you to meet it ie your duty to call promptly, and if poesible offer some hormititiny to both guests and hosts. If the posinen is re. vereed, and your friend is visaing people unknown to you, never go to see your friend without leaving a card for the hostess. If you give any euterthinmient for the friths!, be sure to invite her hosts also. It does not follow that your invitation will be accepted, but if it is, the hostess must be treated as the gueet of honor end shown every deference. If, for inetanoe, the en- tertainment is a luncheon for young ladies, she may be asked to take the seat at the end of the table opposite to your own. If the mutual friend is your guest, you may be sure that, if she is a woman of good breedieg, the, in turn, will accept no invita- tion which does not include you, although you may think beat to decline it and insist upon her going alone. Nor will she receive visitors without asking you to join them in the parlor -should her friends be rude enough to have sent yon 00 cards. Here, too, you may excuse yourself, or, at most, join them with each delay as to give the m a short interview alone. Tame same rules hold good for you when you are the guest. Before you go to make the visit, send word to your friends where and with whom you are to stay, so that there may be no idea that you are in a boarding house, and therefore mistress of your time and surroundings. This constant deference to your hostess should lead you to order all letters and packages to be addressed to her care. As to the disaosal of your time, when yon are visiting, no etiquette requires yon to accept all the plans of your hostess, if you feel unable to do so; but care is needed to show that refusal means lack of strength, not leek of interest and inclination. With a little tact on both eidee, you will have many hours for your o an. Indeed, a skillful hostess will manage to noun you this privileen and not make the mistake of working to hard to amuse you, and so absorb every ni nada of your visit into her idea of what is pleasure for you. No greater compliment is possible than the quiet acceptance of your presence in the intimacy of faraily life. There is no process of cooking whioh requires so much care, and is so often neglected, as boiling. This is the most extravagant method of cooking any meat if the water in which the meat is cooked is not utilized as stook. In the necessity of the ceee no meat can be boiled without losing some of its nourishing qualities and enriching the water in whioh it ie cooked. The French process of brasing, by means of which meat is slowly covered and slowly boiled in a stook which becomes gradually absorbed by the meat, is the only one by which the meat does not suffer actual lose. All meat, in boiling, should be merely simmered. There should be a slight ebullition to the edge of the pot, nothing more. This ebullition should ba kept up steadily till the meat is tender, and no longer, as nothing is more injurious to any boiled dish than to allow the boiling to atop or to cook it after it is done. There is a difference of opinion as to the best methods of 000king salt meats. Some excellent cooks plunge anole meats into clear, cold water, and bring the water gradnelly to the boiling point, while others believe they obtain the best effects by cooking them in boiling water. In either case, after the meat begins to boil, it should merely simmer. There are also two methods of cooking Men One is to plunge the fish from cold water into boiling salted water, and let it slowly simmer till done. The better method is to put a perfectly fresh fish over the fire in cold water, bring it very slowly to the boil- ing point, and let it remain at this point till done. Most vegetables are better cooked fast excepting potatoes, beans, peas, dna flower and others whioh contain starch. Cabbage should be boiled rapidly in plenty of water; so should onions, young beets and turnips. Peas can be cooked thoroughly when tender in twenty minutes. They should be slowly simmered in as little water as possible. The best way to cook string beans at to merely eimmer them for at least two hours, when the water in which they are imoked should be nearly or entirely absorbed. A little hot cream sauce may now be added, and the beans may be boiled up once. As a rule most vegetables are overdone, but there is something obstinate in the tissues of all the bean family, and long cooking is required to make them tender. Lima, or any other fresh shelled beans, require an hoar to cook tender; but corn oat from the cob is better for only fifteen rainutes' cooking, and will be ready for the table if it is steamed on the cob twenty-five minutee. Potatoee are often badly cooked. Half an hour is the average time for boil- ing them mealy, though acme potatoes will cook in lege time. All dale vegetahlee require more cooking than fresh ones. - New York Tribune.

Let him have a little mirror for company occasionally and don't let the sun or gas reflect in it to dazzle his eyes. Don't keep him on dry bird seed. No bird in the world would live on such stuff if he could help it. Give him fresh water every day; °rumba of bread soaked n milk, egg, lettuce, chickweed. Let him fly about the room occasionally. Treat him just as you would like to be treated if you were a clammy. Yon may be a canary bird yourself some time. UI BODX WAS kilrePler. Dragged *Wm ts Zaet Besting Pewee set Portland.
