Good pastry is an essential requisite for may dishes that do pot by any means exclusively belong to higlholass cookery, and it strongly resembles the little girl of nursery lore, in that, ;vvhon it is good, it is very, very good, but when it is bad it is horrid.." Recipes are, no doubt, ex- treinely useful, but there is a koauk of working dough that will make or mar it, independently of the most minute intrue- tions, Again, although it is a good, plan to earns out a recipe to the letter, it is also obvious to anyone who has had any thing to do with cookery that experience must teach little differ:moos upon which the operator most act at her own discretion. At the same time certain apparent trifles are not by any means to be put aside ; in this branch of cookery, perhaps more than in any other details not of ingre- Wants but of outward circumstances, are of the greatest importance in helping to bring about a ocad result. First of all pastry should b% prepareci in a cool place; in:win- ter or in early spring, or at times when the general temperature is decidedly low, ' it is not ianperative to be very careful, but as soon as the thermomter rises, in nine cases out of ten, failure is the result of too great heat; the flour, too, should always be absolutely, and the butter well pressed and free from all the surplus moisture which this ingredient often retains, whether is be home made or not. To this end it is advisable, especially in summer, to wash the butter that is needed for the preparation of the pastry in fresh water overnight, to roll it tightly in a clean, dry cloth, to beat it gently with a wooden rollen'and to place it on a slab in a cool larder till the time when it is to be used. If this were always done in warm or • muggy weather, the complaints about fallure in pastry would be greatly dimin: ished. Where lard is used, the important point is to let it be absolutely fresh and to work in 11 C001 room. Further, the knife or cutter must be perfectly sharp, to avoid jagged, untidy edges; and when the pastry Is brushed over with egg or water, as the case may be, care should be taken that none is dropped on any other part of the pastry than that on which it is needed as a gloss; for experience distinctly tenches that even such a little thing is detrimental to the proper rising of the dough. These few points, however tedious they may ap- pear, sot out in so many words, need, however, not become an additional burden or worry to the operator. Ooce taken into consideration they will easily be remem- bered, and are certain to prove a help rather than a hindrance. Lastly, the oven should be kept well closed to insure a per- fect, even heat, • otherwise the pastry will fall in on. the side where the heat is not so great and present an unsightly appear- ance. It is not until the pastry is risen, and, according to the use to which it is to be put, has become consistent or firm, or • has assumed a yellowish brown color, that a sheet of paper should be spread over the top, then the ventilator may be opened to let out the moisture and completely dry the contents. This, though the last, is by no means the least point for serious con- sideration. It follows from what has been said' above that the less the oven is opened or the temperature of the same is changed the better the result will be. A good way of proving the oven is this: Lay a sheet of paper inside. If it turns yellow quickly, e degree is attained for puff pastry and tlhat which is made witii butter and with yeast. Other kinds of dough, etc., suc- ceed better when tho heat of the oven colors the paper more slowly. It would be of great advantage to pursue the plan adopted abroad of molting down butter for cooking purposes. Indeed, when people live in the counry, or have a dairy, it seems strange that they should find it pos- sible to do without such commodity. On the continent where, after all, the best pastry is made, suoh a thing as dripping for this special purpose is an -unknown quality, and the only ingredient used in the most economical receipts is, perhaps a small qantity of lard mixed with the pre- pared or preserved butter. After many years of personal experience, tin:reds hard- ly a point I would recommend more strongly for the cotsideration of every housewife interested in the improvement of her culinary department. Woman's Heavy Clothes. There are more illnesses growing up into giant maladies every day than the old- time family physician ever dreamed of, even in his varied and comprehensive ex- perience. One of the new disease fads is told about by a popular physician, who is consulted only by the women at the haat ton. "There is a new complaint that has recently developed among women," said he. "It begins with a tired, dragging feeling and general lassitude. The pa- tient feels disinclined for exercise, and gradually loses her appetite and spirits, while, as a natural result, really serious troubles are apt to develop under such favorable conditions. A patient of mine, who is a prominent woman of the world, came to me a few days ago nearly in tears 'Doctor,' she said, 'I am either growing old or I am going io be ill. I feel tired and exhausted all the time, and have no spirits for anything, and yet there does notiseein to be anything really the matter with me." • " I asked her a lot of questions about herself, and could not see any cause for the symptoms she described, and as I have had several similar complaints Within the week I felt quite dazzled. Suddenly an idea struck me. 'Will you step on my weighing tnachine?' I asked. 'I would like to know your weight." Oh, dootor,' she remonstrated. really have lost a great deal, but with this skirt you could not ,tell anything—it weighs at least ten or teaelve pounds." Ab, that is exactly Oat I wanted to get at,' I answered. 'Go , home my dear madame, take off that heavy skirt and heavy mantle, put on 0 light, sensible garments And walk several miles a day—and I guarantee a cure.' So, you see, thus it goes, and, to add to the terror of skirt Wearing,now comes the necessary hair cloth which is the up-to- date substitute for the garmett which wait naeant to keep its Wearer continually re- minded of his or her sins. The hair cloth Skirt is a thing of beauty for about a min- ute and a joy until its composite weaves begin to stick hito letur sensitive flesh and you realize what those religious monks of old must have suffered in their zealous de- vetion Xerosene deltas bkass, but it should b. aftertvard wiped with dry whiting, CiaTestaLsi0,62 P.M ION 111 NUM TO CATCH st, THIEF. If any person had told me the day be-' fore it happened that I Was Capable Of stealing a valeable article from tho house of a friend, I $11011.1d hate ealled that per- son a story -teller. It was, as I said before, about six months after I had committed tho dark deed when Lreceived a very troubled note from my cousin, Deltic) Leslie, urging toe to go to her at owe,. As I had been kindly put in 1000 paten. tis, or in loon fraternis, to Dello by hot husband, during his enforced absence, sin having no ethor male relative, there War nothing for it but for me to go immediate- ly. So 1 went, and a pretty kettle of fish 3 !hand when I got there. It seems that Mistress Dollie never very wise, had en- gaged for herself a companion, as a kind of solace for her /ausband's absence.' This company, a Miss Lucy Finnan by name, had decamped with Dollio's dia- mond, bracelet and a host of other trifles. At least, so my cousin declared, and Ihad no reason to doubt lier word; for, after a groat deal of trouble, I elicited tho follow- ing facts: That Dollie had never even taken the trouble to verify her companion's refer- ences; that she had thrown herself head- long into a gushing friendship with her new acquaintance, and that Miss Finnan had,greatly staniired Mrs.Leslies' jewels— which, needless to say, had never been properly looked up. next questioned the servants. From them 1 gleaned a good bit of information. "None of them could abide her;" "she wasn't a real lady;" "For her part, she never mold see what her mistress took such fancy to her for, poking, prying thing;'' this last from Dollies' own maid. I returned to my cousin in the drawing - room, and found that young lady pros- trate with grief. "Dollie I" I said severely, "you rouse yourself; come now, give me an accurate description of Miss Finnan ; and if you have such a thing as a photograph of her, let me have it, at will be invaluable to us in tracing her down. Lucy had presented her with a photo- graph of herself, and, after some delay, produced the aforesaid likeness. Armed with this important aid to detection, which I carefully placed between the leaves of my pooket-book. I went straight riff Scotland Yard, and there Sdetailed the case. • "Dark eyes," said the inspector, to whom I had been describing the suspected woman, "with fairish hair, tall, good fig- ure, rather handsome, faisit indications of moustache. Hon, think I know the party; been under suspicion before." "That is all the information you can afford me, then," he said at last, looking steadily aeross at me. "AU with the exception of the photo- graph," I ropiled, taking out my pocket- book, and funilbing among its leaves for the picture. It was growing quite dusk in the little office, and I could scarcely see. Well! about a month went by, and I had heard 110 good news from Scotland Yard, when one morning I was startled to re- ceive a wire from them saying that the bird was caught. "Never had a neater case in my life, sir," exclaimed tho delighted detective, whom I interviewed about an hour after- wards. "Really, the impudence of the woinan was remarkable," he continued. "Living in 0110 01! the best London squares with a party she calls her aunt. About as much my aunt as hers," he interpolated, with a chuckle. "Ands now, sir," he add- ed, "will you step this way and identify her?" "I can't identify her," I replied; "I have never seen the woman in my life; but I will bring my cousin, her late em- ployer, hero. I suppose she can do all that is necessary." It was an ordinary prison cell, but look- ed dark, gloomy, bare and cheerless enough to be the real article. We stood for a inoment or so, until our eyes became more accustomed to the semi - dusk. And then. Was I going mad or dreaming? Was that Dollie who was cud- dling her late companion; all the time murmuring words of endearment? Suddenly the prisoner raised her head, and I saw not the lineaments of Miss Lucy Finnan, as portrayed in that unlucky photograph, but the face of the most rarely beautiful girl I had ever seen in my life; a face which seemed strangely famliar, and yet one which I could have sworn I had never beheld before. "There is evidently s,orne mistake," he answered in a confused way. "This young lady is my sister-in-law, Miss Leslie," hero broke in Dollie. The detecive glanced at me with calm contempt. "Let me explain," he said, addressing himself courteously to both ladies. "Pray madam," he continued, "is not this your photograph?" Miss Leslie bent forward and looked earnestly at the bit of cardboard. "It is," she answered quietly; "but may I ask how it came into your possession?" Before the man had time to reply recol- lection returned to me; ray sin of six months ago had found me out. The pretty photo which I had deliberately stolen from my friend's house was a likeness of Miss Leslie, whom I had never seen. I do not care to dwell upon the time that followed. It snakes me hot even now to think of It, but ;sot quite so warm as did a certain question which I propounded to a dainty little maiden • about two months after- ward.— know," she faltered,, mis- chievously, "whether I could marry a kleptomaniac!" And then I stopped her with a kiss. "When you took the trouble to steal my likeness," pouted my beloved the next day, "you might have had the grace to Occasionally look at it." And it was only when I gravely declar- ed that tho mute evidence of my crime be- came after a time unbearable to the that the smiles returned to any darling's face. "You:goose," she attested lightly; "it Was simply because:7°111ml forgotten the incident." And I rather think she was right. People Over tbm Sea. Henry M.

We were resolved rather to die than to yield, and were.fully persuaded that in twenty-four hours all would, be over. The engineers had said so, and all knew the worst. We women strove to encourage each other,and to perform the light duties which had. beeo assigned. to us such as conveying orders to the batteries and supplying men with pro- visions, especially cups of coffee, WhiCh WO prepard day and night. I had gone out to try and make myself useful, in company with Jessie Brown, the wife of a corporal in say husband's regiment. Poor Jessie had been in a state of restless excitement all through the siege, and had fallen away visibly within the last few days. A eon- stant fever consumed her, and her tnInd wandered occasionally, especially that day, when the recollections of home seemed powerfully present to her. At last, over- come with faitgue, she lay down on the ground, wrapped up in her plaid. I sat beside her, promising to awaken her wilco as she said, 'her father should retorn from the ploughing.' She fell at length into a profund slumber, motionless and, appar- ently breathless, her head resting on my lap. I myself could no longer -resist the inclination to sleep, in spite of the cons tinual roar of the cannon. Suddenly I was aroused by a wild unearthly scream olose to my car; my companion stood upright beside me, her arms raised, and her head bent forward in the attitude of listening. A. look of intense delight broke over her countenance, she grasped my hand, drew me towards her, and exclaimed— " 'Dinna ye hear it2 dinna ye hear it? Ay, I'm no clrearnins ; it's the slogan of tho Highlanders! We're saved, we're saved! Hark, the slogan.' "Then, flinging herself on her knees, she thanked God with passionate fervor. I felt utterly bewildered; any English ears heard only the roar of artillery, and I thought my poor Jessie was still raving; but she darted to the batteries, and Iheard her cry, incessantly to the men— " Courage ! courage! hark to the slogan —to the itlaogregor, the grandest of them a'. Here's help at last!' "To described the effect of these words on the soldiers would be impossible. For a, moment they ceased firing, and every soul listened with intense anxiety. Gradu- ally, however, there arose a murmur of bitter disappointment, and the wailing of the women who had. flocked to the spot broke out anew' as the colonel shook his head. Our &till lowland. ears heard nothing but the rattle of the musketry. .A. few moinents more of this death -like suspense, of this agonizing hope, and Jessie, who had again sunk to the ground sprang to her feet, and cried, in a voice so clear and piercing that it was heard. along the whole line-- " 'Listen to the pibroch. Will ye no' be- lieve it noo? The slogan has Ceased indeed, but the Campbells are corain' ! D'ye hear, d' yd34..thathtear moment we seemed indeed, to hear the voice of God in the distance,whon the pibrochof the Highlanders brought us tidings of deliverance, for now there was 110 longer any doubt of the fact. That shrill, penetrating, ceaseless sound, which rose above all other sounds, could. come neither from the advance of the enemy nor from the work of the Sappers. No, it was indeed the blast of the Scottish bag- pipes, now shrill and harsh, as threaten- ing vengeance on the foe, then in softer tones seeming to promise succour to their friends in need. "Never surely was there such a scene as that which followed. Not a heart in the residence of Lucknow but bowed itself be- fore God. All, by one simultaneous im- pulse, fell upon their knees, and nothing was heard but bursting sobs and murmur- ed voice of prayer. Then all arose, Ancl there rang out from a thousand lips a great shout of joy, which resounded far and wide, and lent new vigor to that blessed pibroch.

Why do the birds flit southward each autumn and return again with every spring? No one knows, but science, in the person of Professor Wang, the eminent Austrian ornithologist, has just disclosed that the usual flippant answer to this ques- tion, "Because they like to trayel," is not far out of the way, after all. In a lecture that Professor Wang recently delivered at Vienna he gave some extrethely interest- ing details regarding the migrations of birds, all of which migrations resemble one another in two respects: They follow tho most direct line southward, and are made with almost incredible rapidity. Numerous . observations have been made at Heligoland which is the principal halt- ing place of birds of passage from north- ern countries, and in Egypt, which is the winter home of many, and these observa- tions have established some facts hitherto unknown. The bluebirds traverse 400 nautical miles which separates Egypt from Heligoland in a single night, which Is at the rate of forty geographoial miles per hour. The swallow's speed is over two .and one-half miles per minute, or nearly throe dines that of the fastest railway teain. Even the younger birds, six or eight weeks old, accompany the others on their long journey. 'Professor Wang asks himself what is the impulse which clauses the birds, after the brooding and moulting season is over, to quit our northern ohm. ate. He does not think it is fear of cold— for many species quite as,delleate as those which migrate southward easily withstand the rigors of the winter, but that they have an irresIstible htimor for traveling. This is his idea of the fact,but he can give Iso explanation. A Very Honest View.

Some one asserted that the best cup of tea she ever drank was made at Carlsbad, and that the superior flavor was due to the soft water used in making it. Where- upon some one else produced as good tea by adding a pbach of baking soda to the water ordinarily used in order to soften it. The experiment is one easily inade, though fine tea water that has just reached the boiling point, and an infusion of from three to five minutes produces a result that leaves little to be desired. Fame in Papier Macho. Hundreds of different papier mantle heads are made for clothing figures, in- cluding representations of generals, states- men and men famous in one way or an- other. For some of the heads there is a regular and steady sale; for many others the demand declines with the decline of the fame or popularity of the person repre- sented. A wholesale dealer in display fix- tures said that take it the country through and the year round the best selling figure was one with a head of Washington, the next best one with the head of the Kaiser Wilhelm; not because he was the German emperor, but because he made a fine fig- ure,youngish, and one upon which clothes suitable to any occasion,business or dress, displayed to advantage. Uses of Glycerine. Here are a few of the many uses to which glycerine may be applied: Equal parts of bay rum and glycerine applied to the face after shaving make a man rise up and call the woman who provided it bless- ed. Applied to the shoes, glycerine is a great preservative of the leather and effec- tually keeps out water and prevents wet feet. A few drops of of glycerine put in the fruit jars the last thing before sealing them up help to keep the preserves from molding on top. For flatulency there is no better remedy than a teaspoonful of glycerine after each meal. It will prevent and cure chapped hands. Two or three drops will often stop a baby's stomach ache. It will allay the thirst of a fever patient and soothe an irritable cough by moistening the dryness of the throat. Definition of a Lady. A lady is a woman who is honorable, truthful, relined; who regards the com- fort of others first; who never forgets how important little courtesies are to the hap- piness of life; who is loyal to her friends, and never betrays a trust; who scoans to think a moan thought, or speak a mean word, or perform a mean act; who rever- ences age, paotects weakness, and. main- tains her own womanly self-respect. In European countries the title is gener- ally confined to women. who belong to -the nobility and gentry. in this country it jostly belongs to every woman, young or old, rich or poor, beautiful or plain, who possesses the mudifiestions lithe nam- ed, and the term should not be made meaningless by indiscriminate or un- thinking use. . Linen's Uses. The truth about linen is that it isn't the ideal dressing for beds at all. It is cold and slippery, and insures sensitive persons to dream the dream of sleeping on an ice- berg, which does well enough for an occa- sional experience, like sea -sickness, but which palls on too frequent repetition, Besides that, it wrinkles and tumbles, in spite of its heavier body, much more than cotton does, giving a bed after one night's use 0 most slovenly and uninviting ap- pearance. Nobody recommends limo for body woo. It's firm texthre and hard surface make it wholly nonelsorbent ; it allowe tile body to become °billed byrefusing the perspiration and so has boon known to bring on serious illness.
