As so in as (ho first .Tnnnary thaw is

ew lork nnd other larpo cities in
this conntry begin to look out for tho
first consignment of snails. When tho
steamer containing tho first shipment
. sails, special privato dinners nre ar
ranged, principally in tho neighbor
hood of University place, to take place.
ns soon as the snails aro received.
Last year a curious thing happened,
Thcso snails nro not common garden
ennils, Imt carefully ecloctcd fellows,
well fed aud cared for, which in tho
fall nro packed in barrels, a layer
being placed at tho bottom so that
they quickly seize on tho wood, then
another layer, who seize on tho shell
beneath them, nud so on until the
barrel is filled. Then they aro placed
in cold storage of a modified typo,
nnd kept hibernating until January.
When shipped they are marked as
snails, and grout care is takcu to h)vo
them stowed in a cool part of the hold,
so that they arrive in a normal stato.
Last yonr a consignmt nt for a con
spicuous downtown restaurant was
reported ofl Sandy Hook. Tho regu

oud all preparations were made. When
the caeks arrived it was found that
they had been stowed too near the
boiler room, nnd that all tho snails
were awake and out of their shells, and
could not bo coaxed back into them.
Those put near ioe did not go back
into thoir shells, but just died. So

Washington Irving said, he supposed a certain bill was called
"Rattlesnake Hill" because it abounded in lutterjlits. The
" rule of contrary " governs other names. Some bottles are, sup-
poscdly, labeled " Sarsaparilla " because they are full of well,
we don't know what they are full of, but we know it's not sarsapa .
rilla; except, perhaps, enough for a flavor. There's only one
make of sarsaparilla that can be relied on to be all it claims. It's
Ayer's. It has no secret to keep. Its formula is open to all
physicians. This formula was examined by the Medical Com- ,
niittee at the World's l-'air with the result that while every other
make of sarsaparilla was excluded from the Fair, Ayev's Sarsapa- ,
i ilia was admitted ami honored by awards. It was admitted be- (j
cause it was the best sarsapaiilla. It received the medal as the ,
best. So other sarsaparilla has been so tested or so honored. (
Good motto for the family as well as the Fair: Admit the best, .
exclude the rest.

ECONOMY IV SMALL WATS.
The little leaks in the household ex
penses, siys the Jenness-Miller Month
ly, are the most mischievous. Tho big
ones are prominent enough to compel
attention. Do you not, for example,
trust all yonr tradespeople implioity?
Von can't afford to do ho. The head
servants in the Vanderbilt and Astor,
and other wealthy families have among
their chief dut-es that of weighing the
household supplies. Dry goods meas
urements in the large shops are gen
erally very acourate because the em
ployes are Tinder strict orders to be
exact. But grocers and butchers will
bear watching. Get for yourself or
your kitchen priestess a set of meas
ures and some seales, and after you
and she have learned to use them, you
will be amazed to see how mneh you
have been paying for that you havn't
had. Even in the moft reliable shops
so called the weighing is wery lax.
Butchers claim that the deficiencies in
their weights are all due to the waste
iu trimming. Very well, order the
meat sent uutrimmed. You will get
fresher meat, and what you trim off
will often give you nice bits for the
stock pat,' suet, eto. Try it and be
convinced.
A quick-witted housekeeper says she
has saved many a dollar in plumber'
bills by buying a foreo cup and learn
ing to handle a wrench. Despite
washing soda and potash, now and then
something unmeltablo slips through
the sink strainer aud clogs the pipe.
All the more modern plumbing has n
nut at the bottom of the "goose-neck,"
juat below tbe sink. By setting a
pan beneath this, and with a wrencb
loosening aud then removing the cap,
the obstruction will generally be found
right there. Sometimes tho foroe cop
applied over the strainer in the sink
will be sufficient to clear the pipe
withont taking the cap off the goose
neck. If both fail, no harm will have
been done, but one or tbe other, or
both, succeeds often enough to make
it worth while to exercise ono's ingen
uity a bit.

INTM-ENCE OF HEAUTIFrL WOMES.
Emerson long aoro apprehended the
truth when he s:iid : "Beauty reaches
its perfection in the human form. All
men are its lovers. Wherever it goes
it creates joy and hilarity. It renshes
its height iu women."
Our reminiscences aro, therefore.
only the recognition of the tributes
men pay to beauty, aud when we re
call the stories of Ptialine de Viguire,
that virtuous and accomplished
maiden'of the fifteenth centurv. who
o fired the enthusiasm of the people
with her enchanting face and form
that the civil authorities compelled
her by edict to appear publicly twice
a ween on a balcony to allay the ex

other lovely woman, Elizabeth Dun

whom Walpole says that when she was
presented at court the noble crowd
clambered on the tables and chairs to
look at her when we recall this mad

According to the Massachusetts Su
premo Judicial Court husbands can no
longer rale their wives. The Court
Bays, in rendering a recent decision :
"By virtue of this legislation a mar
ried woman becomes, in the view of
the law, a distinct and independent
person from her husband, not only in
respeot to her right to own property,
but also in respeot lo her right to use
her time for the purpose of earning
money on her sole and separate ac
count. She may perform labor, and
is entitled to her wages and earnings.
If she complies with the statutory re
quirement as to recording a certificate
ehe may carry on any trade or busi
ness on her sole aud separate account,
and take the profits, if profits there
are, as her separate property."
ner nuBband can appropriate neither
her earnings nor her time, but he is
obliged to support her as in the old
regime. He has few rights left,
though, for, "to a certain limited ex
tent, as for example, in fixing the
domicile and in being responsible un
der ordinary circumstances for its or
derly management, the husband is
still the head of the family." New

' "Why do you go so little with Mand

"You will laugh if I tell you, mam

is ao unbecoming to me ; I simply can
not afford it. I like her immensely,
but an unbecoming intimate friend is
really a great alhictiou. Tnere are
ome girls that make you look stumpy,
and others that make you look fat. A
fair, fresh girl will make a dark, Eal
low one look yellower than ever, while
the latter otten makes the former re

FASHION NOTES.
Empire house gownsare picturesque.
Spangled trimmings are more popu
lar than ever.
The Marie Antoinette craze seems
already departing.
Imitation pearli are the only neck
jewels worth buying.
Batiste insertions will be seen on
many summer gowns.
Large flowered veils of laoe are seen
on some of the new hats.
Sliding chain bracelets of othor
days are seen once in a while.
A large number of tall Spanish
combs are now on view in the hair
dressers' windows.
The reddish-purple duohesse is nsed
again, and a lighter shade, Ophelia,
that might be styled a mauve.
Brown, green, orange, red, cherry
pinks, also coral pink and violet are
pronounced perfectly safe colors for
the spring.
Full chiffon sleeves and plastrons ot
the same are worn with round or
pointed waists of plain rose, nauve or
green satin or Dresden silk.
A fur cap is by no means the
abomination of former years, but
rigged out ia lace and flowers is a
genuine bit of Parisian millinery.
A most pronounoed feature of the
ball-rooms this winter is the ubiqui
tious aigrette, worn, it is safe to say,
by ninety-nine women out of a hun
dred. In spite of the fact that the immenno
sleeve has been frowned upon in high
quarters, fashionable women in society
continue to appear in sleeves quite as
voluminous as ever.
Big hats are plentiful in the winter's
millinery, and they are sure to im
press by their size and richness, but
the out-and-out wonders of headgear
are really in the small sizes.
Among the hundred and one pretti
nesses of the winter are adjustable
collars made of velvet, which are cut
into square tabs at the outer edge and
lined with a contrasting oolor.
Tbe plain, tailor-made gown, having
full skirt, and three-button cutaway
coat, under whiob a pointed vest
shows, will be one of the ready-made
leaders in light spring cloths of season
able oolor.
Moire is a popular trimming ma
terial. Moire ribbons trim skirts from
waist liue to hem, and are made into
rose ruchiugs to trim over tbe
shoulders aud down the sides of the
front of the belt.
A pretty new fashion, which has
been shown ou several of the lately
imported evening dresses, is a deep,
square yoke, cut rouud on the neok,
the yoke being made of a different ma
terial from tbe rest of the gown.
The indications are that the skirt
and coat style will continue in favor
for orJiuary walking, shopping aud
traveling costumes, aud that mohairs,
cheviots, Euglisu tweeds aud serges
will be the fabrics usod for these.
Among the popular ideas in skirts
are the five box plaits at the back.
The skirts are cut on very much the
same plan as those heretofore worn,
but all of the fullness is laid in these
plaits, whioh are veryr narrow where
they are attached to the belt.

am cold, and It warms me."

is warm, but is the stick beuelltod?"
loe sick mnn watched the wood first send

flame, nnd replied: "Of course not: it is
burning itself. '
"And so are you whou vou warm yourself
with alcohol; you nro literally burning up

Oh, yes, alcohol will warm you up, but
who finds tho fuelV When you toko food,
that is fuel, nnd as it burns out you keep
warm. But when you take alcohol to warm
