At the lercj or the Women.
Dia you ever nottca the conduct of a
-nan who !orce.l by circumstances to
enter a faatuonab'e millinery store un
accompanied by a female bodyguard ?
If not, tt will be found entertaining.
Ilia fellow-men will pity him, but the
woman will laugh at him. It Is one of
the few position In which masculinity
'.a wholly at the mercy of the fair sex.
ays a well known New York milliner
the other day:
"It may appear incredible, but I
harw aeen tueu man who have led tn
b.,tt!e, who habitually mount the ros
trum, who pass their lives la constant
friction with their fellows, or who en
joy a leputation as favorites among
women in society enttr this place
alone to execute commissions for their
wires, and fall suddenly into the condi
tion of great, btshful, overgrown
schoolboys when called upon to face the
girls and 'speak a-piece.'
"Why is it ? That's a metaphysical
problem. But there is always some
thing in the atmosphere of the place
devoted exclusively to the labor and
personal adornment of women which
painfully disconcerts a man unless he is
attended by bis wife, and even then be
Is by no means at his ease. As an in
stance of this, a gentleman of acknowl
edged nerve and prominent in Mttional
politics came in here recently to order
a bonnet for his wife, to be sent home
on approval. Be To re be left I was real
ly sorry for him. A number of ladies
were trying on hats, and he became so
nervous that 1 firmly believe be didn't
know the colors or the price of the bon
net he selected. lie kept fidgeting and
glancing about him like a thief, and
when his business was concluded made
a dash for the door without leaving the
address, so 1 had to call him back. I
shouldn't wonder if he took a drink to
steady himself when he got outside.
"It's a queer thing, isn't it ?
The L'uderbrcd (Jlrl.
There are some things that stamp the
underbred girl like a sign-manual.
She gigles, for instance, stuff, her
handkerchief Into her mouth, and wears
her gloves with one thumb out and
bare. She is usually dressed as nearly
In the height of the fashion as her
knowledge and circumstances permit,
even if her "things" are pinned togeth
er a pin always answering for a stitch
with her. In the street she is always
more ar less conscious of her clothes,
throws about sMe glinces that, how
ever, innocent, expose to misconcep
tion, and receives amiably glances that
would be insulting if she knew enough
to be insulted Instead of flattered by
them. In the bouse she sits with her
feet pushed out or her knees crossed,
and one foot high In the air ; she has a
finger In her mouth, or thrusts her
tongue into the side of it ; she bi'.es
her nails, scratches her face, or keeps
her hands at work on her llpa or chin
or eyes. See is rather fond of perfumes,
wafts of them following her as she
moves, wlih the suggestion of barned
sugar that belongs to the cheap kind,
she is usually obliged to content herself
with ; she wears cotton lace, and all
sorts of shams in jewelry and adorn
ment ; and so long as her exterior sat
isfies her, her unseen under-clothing is
of no consequence. In her conversa
tion, too she affects the knowledge of
the world which expresses Itself in
slang, and not a sentence escapes her
lira that Is not savored with the spice
of this misuse of Fnglish. She may rje,
with all this, the soul of kindness,'
warm-heartedness, and even of good
principle in general ; but she is an exs
ceedingly uncomfortaple, mortifying,
and distasteful person to be thrown
with to any extent in daily life.
Heed Tour Words.
That the tongue Is not steel, yet it
cuts.
That cheerfulness Is the weather of
the heart.
That sleep is the best stimulant, a
hervine safe for all to take."
That it is better to learn to say "no"
than to be able to read Latin.
That cold air is not necessarily pure,
nor warm air necessarily pure.
That a cheerful face is nearly as good
for an invalid as healthy weather.
That there are men whose friends
are more to be pitied than their ene
mies. That advice is like castor oil, but
hard enough to take.
That grand temples are built of small
'ones, and great lives made np of thrill
ing events.
That nature is a rag merchant, who
works np every shred and rag and end
into new creations.
That an open miDd, an open hand
and also an open heart would every,
where find an open door.
That is not enough to keep the poor
la mind give them something to keep
you In mind.
That men often preach from the
housetops while the devil is crawling in
at the basement below.
That life's real heroes and heroines
are those why bear their own burdens
bravely, and give a helping band to
those aronnd tnem
That hasty words often ranVL In th
wounds which injury gives, ar.d that
oft words assauage it ; forglres cures,
and forgetfulness takes away the scar.

The Engtih Language.
Ecglish mea ofletters are perpetual
ly scolding and bagging at one anotber
I for speaking and writing bad English,
' or for pronouncing it erroneously, and
' the fault Coders make, as a rule, as
many mistakes as do the writers and
speakers whom they profess to correct.
And then step in, forsooth, the AmerK
cans, clad from top to toe in the shining
armor of self confidence, and tbey airily
tell us that we know not bow to speak
or prononoce onr own language, and
that to mend our ways we should take
lessons of Bostonitee or the Datch-Irish-Eoglish
and altogether cosmopo
litin people of New York. We may
needs wince a little nnder these stric
tures, for our withers are not by any
means nn wrung, and to the ear of a for
eigner who bas made only a literary
study of English it is certain that our
pronnnciation. or rather our many and
discordant methods of pronunciation,
or rather our many and discordant
methods of pronunciation, mast appear
rery illogical and very ludicrous.
It is not alone clergymen who drawl
the church service and mumble their
sermons ; it is not alone school children
wno are taught to read in monotonous
sing-song; it is not alone young ladies
who, through affectation. lisp or
mince their words, but it is the great
body of English peopte aye, of educa
ted English people who habitually
stammer before they can fi,nd the word,
who rarely pronounce their final conso
nants, who slur and shuffle their sjlla
bles into one another, who almost In
variably put the wrong emyhasis on the
chief members of a phrase, and who. If
tbey do not absolutely chew and swal
low the ends of their vocables, as the
modern Greeks, do, utter them in such
a disjointed and slipshod fashion a" to
make them more than half unintelligi
ble to the foreign ear. This is why it
may be quite feasible for a Frenchman
to live seventeen years in England with
out being able to understand English.
The Rattlesnake's Bite.
I am often asked what I would do if
bitten while far from help. If the
wound be at the tip of a finger, I should
like to get rid of the part by some such
ante-surgical means as a knife or a pos
sible bot iron afToids. Failing these,
or while seeking help. It Is wise to
quarantine the poison by two ligatures
drawn tight enough to stop all circula
tion. The heart weakness is made
worse by emotion, and at this time a
man may need stimulus to enable bim
to walk borne. As soon as possible
some one should thoroughly infiltrate
the seat or the bite with permanganate
or other agents. By working and
kneading the tissues the venom and the
antidote may be made to come Into con
tact, and the former be so far destroyed.
At this time it becomes needful to re
lax the ligatures to escape gangrene.
This relaxation of course lets some ven
om Into the blood round, but in a few
moments it is possible again to tighten
the ligatures, and again to inject the
local antidote. If the dose of venom be
large and the distance from help great,
except the knife or cautery little is to be
done that is of value. But it is well to
bear In mind that in this coontry a bite
iu the extremities rarely causes death.
I have known nine dogs having been
bitten by as many snakes and of these
dog but two died. In India there
would have been probably nine dead
dogs.
All About the Blackbird.
You all know the old "Sing a Song of
Sixpence." Ilave you ever read what
It meant ?
The four and twenty blackbirds rep
resented twenty-four hours. The bot
tom of ibe pie is the world, the top
crust la the fky that overarches It. The
opening of tthe pie is day dawn, when
the birds begia to sing, and surely such
a sight is a "dainty diah to set before
the king."
The king who Is reptesented as sit
ting In his parlor counting out his mon
ey, is the sun ; while the gold pieces
that slip through bis fingers are golden
sunshine. The queen who nits in the
dark kitchen, is the moon, and the
honey with which she regales herself Is
the moonlight.
The industrious maid, who Is in the
garden at work before the king the
sun has risen. Is the day-dawn, and
the clothes she hangs out are the clouds,
while the bird which so tragically ends
the song by "nipping of! her nose" is
the hour of sunset. So we have the
whole day in a pie.
A Substitute for Liquor.
Mrs. Hayes always declared that a
perfectly adequate substitute for liquor,
when needed as a stimulant, could be
found in hot milk, and after any cold
or wetting she gave this in place of the
wine or whisky wbich others would
have considered necessary. This is, by
the way, a custom of Mrs. Cleveland's
also, who discovered after the fatigues
of the many long and wearisome recep
tions she was obliged to go through,
standing for hours on her feet and shak
ing bands with hundreds of people, that
nothing would restore her to quickly as
a cup full of boiling milk brought to
her by ber maid, and which she drank
in little sipa as hot aa it possibly could
be taken. The Washington girls caught
the idea from ber, and, finding bow
quickly it helped them after a hard day
of calls and social duties, ttev began to
substitute it for the various malt pre
parations they bad been in the habit of
taking, or the hot wine and water
which their maids usually administered
when they came in too tirtd oat to dresa
for their next engagement.

A Germ.n who visited rotopeii
writes aa follows consernlnR the bread
discovered there ; "In one room are
shown In well c'oufd glass cases, side
with some precious objects, tbe oldest
bread, which was found in an oven
of which more by and by barn t. of
course. This bread is round and has
four cuts, and may have weighed when
fresh about three or four pounds. To
this day bread like this is baked in
Naples and the neighborhood. proof
of how little advanced the baker's trade
is in the south of Italy. Oor enida i
sored me that some of this bread hail
been sold to foreign museums for enors
mous sums of money, and that before
me would not be sold at all, no matter
what was tbe price offered-. Having
seen this bread, I was curious to see the
oven in which it had been baked and
found. After a most interestlDir tour
through the streets of Pompeii, we
ioudq ourselves suddenly before tbe
noue of tbe Tompeiian baker.
"The houses are not built like ours of
to-day. They are without windows,
with an entrance into the interior,
which is a fquare, open hall, or rather
yard, which, in the better class of
bouses, contains a fountain and water
basin. Into this yard tbe doors from
al! the rooms opeu. The streets serve
as drains for the houses as well as the
streets. Great blocks of stone serve as
stepping stones to pass from one side of
the street to the other. "Within tbe
house was also placed the bakinc room
and tbe oven was built of baslatic
stones, which were still in good preser
vation. This oven was very much like
those which we see in country bakeries
ot the present day. In the same room,
a little away from the oven, stood also
a corn mill, of dark gray stones, similar
to our old sugar mills. There was a
hole in the upper stone, with a bar to
pass through, which slaves cr donkeys
bad to turn around."
Season log.
Few cooks season food well, and yet
no one thing goes farther to render it
palatable. Soup, vegetables and meat
are insipid and distasteful when served
without seasoning. Of course, tastes
differ as to the amount of pepper, salt
and other flavoring necessary in esch
dish, but a general knowledge of the art
will enable every cook to come very
near the degree. If a little more is
needed it may be added at the table,
and will blend with that given, while if
not seasoned at all, food cannot be made
to receive the proper fUvor after being
cooked.
ITonsfekeepers who do their own cook
ing, or keep a cook, will And It equally
convenient to alwajs keep prepared sea
soning on hand. Every French Kitchen
is thus supplied, and even the humblest
household serves well seasoned, palata
ble food.
Parsley, thyme, sweet marjoram, and
sage should be kept dried in bunches.
The roots and leaves of celery may be
dried in the oven, grated, and bottled
for use. A jar of mixed seasoning may
be made as follows : Take one ounce
each of nutmeg and mace ; two ounces
each of white pepper and cloves ; one
ounce each of sweet basil, marjor
am, and thyme, half an ounce of bay
leaves. First roughly pound the spices
and dried herns, then place between
two sbeets of paper, fold tightly, and
put in a warm place to dry. Then
pound quickly, put through a sieve, put
in bottles, cork, and set away for uBe.
One teaspooBful of the mixture will
season a gallon of soup. A pinciv added
to gravy or hash will give a delightful
flavor.
Curious Minerals.
Included in the mineral resources of
Utah, apart from its precious metals,
are deposits of alum, some recently
discovered veins of which are eighteen
inches thick and several hundred feet
in length, of dazzling whiteness and
great purity. Beds of niter are also
found BufBciently pure to readily fuse
them when thrown on hot coals. Ozo
kerite, or Datural mineral wax, a rarity
elsewhere, is fonnd here in large quan
tities. It is air, acid, and water proof,
and can be ased for imparting these
qualities to other substances. As an
insu!ator it is said to be perfect, and
would doubtless be found a superior in
sulating material for electrical appli
ances. It could also be adopted as the
base for a cheap yet desirable paving
material and Tor induratiog piles and
posts to prevent decay. A somewhat
similar discovery Is gilsonite, found, on
analysis, to contain about 80 per cent,
of carbon or asphalt in pure form.
Of the latter a vein bas been discoys
ered three feet wide and over a mile in
length a supply that, if worked, would
be found almost inexhaustible. As is
now well known, the Great Salt lake is
an immense, limitless magazine of salt,
that can be readily obtained in ary de
sired quantity by the simple process of
evaporation. From this lake vast
quantities of sulphate of soda are also
secured, blown on shore at cer
tain temperatures by the winds, where
hundreds of tons are often piled up in
a single night, that can be utilized in
tho chdap production of sal soda and
carbonate of soda.

According to The Mediclnishe Presse.
of Vienna, a Dr. Terchas found a core
for rheumatism in be estlngings. Hav
ing found that every sting it followed
by a swelling up to a point when the
bone seems to have become hardened
against further effect, he tried the sting
ing on a rneumatic patient. Upon sat
urating the patient's system with th
bee poison the rheumatism disappeared '
nor, to retnrn for a lone time. rr
Terc has applied his remedy in 173 cases
ana nas inflicted 39,000 stineinss. r.ri
now keeps a colony of bees on his prem
