The Violet Train.
; Nothing is more remarkable than
the growth ol the flower industries in
London. Not many years ngo flowers
were expensive luxuries, only to be ob
tained in early Bpring by those who
could afford to pay fancy prices ; now
anyone may purchase in the streets
for a penny the most lovely Cowers
from tho Scilly Islands, Holland and
the south of France. Every flower
has its allotted week or fortnight while
the ruBh is on, the jonquils, the hya
cinths and the violets. Just now vio
lets are in fall swing, and every day
three trains leave the south of France
for Paris laden with them. The train
which reaches Paris at 5 o'clock in
the morning is the one which supplies
the French capital ; the burden of the
other two trains is dispersed all over
Europe, but more especially to Eng
land. The violets are collected all
along tho Mediterranean shores, are
packed in little wickerwork baskets
and sent off by express train.
Tho cost of transport is at the rate
of a ponny a pound, oud each truck
contains between four and live tons of
violets. Here in London the flower
girls sell them in the streets from their
baskets, but in Puris they are sold
from little carts at a penny a bouquet,
and everybody buys them, heedless of
tbo fact that they are the Napoleonic
emblem. A few yenra ago anyone
who wore a buttonhole of violets
would have been put down as an ene
my of the Republic, but it shows how
dead the idea of a Napoleonic, revival
is in Franco when every man in the
streets wears its badge without any

frontier. Otherwise, the utter dislo
cation into which parliamentary gov
ernment has fallen in France might,
coupled with the wearing of the vio
let, have given rise, to hopes for the

Theso canes eamo from London and

women of England. They furnish
another example of tho homage which
is still paid to royalty in that ex
tremely limited monarchy on the
other sido. The Queen has become so
old and infirm that she cannot walk
without the support of a cane, and in
order that their boloved sovereign
may not bo conspicnous in her in
firmity, tho English ladies have maife
tho cauo a fad. It is not tile elderly

VtbVnew woman who "sports' this at

and frivoloue society girl is the ono
who twirls her stick on the boulevard
and promenades at fashionable water
ing pluces. The custom began late
last summer and has increased in favor
until it has boiled over, as it were, into
this country.
It will be interesting to see what the
American girl would do with the new
plaything. She may treat it as the
rightful property of the new woman
along with the Derby hat and the dog
whistles. In this case it will surely
appeal to the Vassar girl, and we need
not be surprised to hear in the near
future of girls' cane-rushe at that

A BlMPLB REMEDY FOR HEADACHE.
Usually a headache is not to be re
garded as a disease, but as a symptom
oi internal disorder a warning sent
out by unturo of troubles which but
for this arresting pain might pass un
heeded till grave complications had
pet in. Both nervous and sick head
aches arise from over-fatigue inorj
frequently than from any other cause.
ami absolute rest must bo part of the
treatment in each case. The woman
who persists in ignoring the racking
pain of a nervous headache, and by
iho exercise of a strong will-power
drives herself on to accomplish what
ever duties or engagements lie beforo
her, is heaping up for herself days of
bitter reckoning. She shonld accept
the pain as a danger-signal, and give
the tired brain and body the care and
rest they need. Many cases will fin 1

must be your own nurse, put on a
loote wrapper, knot your hair high,

TESTING THK OVEN.

directions for testing the oven in oako
baking : "For sponge-cake put a piece

and open it in livo minutes. If the
paper is a rich yellow, tho oven is
right; but if it is a light yellow, tho
oven is too cool ; if a dark brown, it
is too hot. For pound-eako, the oven
should be just hot enough to color
light brown. Cup-cake requires an
oven of about tho samo temperature.
All thin-rolled cakos require a hotter
oven, -so that the paper should turn a
dark brown in five minutes. The
length of time roqnirod for baking
certain cakes will vary with their
thickness or tho sizo of the pan in
Which thoy nro bakod." Now York

VEGETABLE SOtTR.
A largo proportion of tho sonps in
daily uso in tho French household are
made without stock, but of vegetables
simply boiled to a puree in wator and
properly seasoned. At tho head of
this list of maigro soups, as the French
call all soup made without meat, is
Julienno.
Take two small carrots, one turnip,
one leek, ono onion, a quarter of a
head of fino young cabbage, and a
quarter of a head of celery. Clean all
these vegetables, wash and dry them.
Cut thorn into little shreds, about the
sizo and shape of matches, but not
over two inches long. On aooount of
construction of the onion it ia not pos
sible to cut it on tho exact straight
strips whioh are considered tho proper
shape for this soup, but it should
be cut as near the shape as possible
Keep all tho vegetables as dry aa pos
sible. Melt four tablespoonfula of
butter iu a hot saucepan and fry a'l
the vegetables in it until they are
slightly brown. A quark of the water
in which peas or beans hap been boiled
should then be seasoned Vth salt and
popper, if it is not so soAHoriGu already.
Tho fried vegetables shonld bo added
to it and the eonp should bo allowed
to slowly simmer for tureo hours.when
a handful of chopped sorrel or a tea
spoonful ot minced cheeso or a hand
ful of minced lettuce leaves should bo
put in and tho eoup served at once.
Yon may add little squares of bread
properly fried in butter or browned
in the oven. This soup will be a groat
deal better it it is mado with a rich
stook or consomme in placa of water.
In this case it is made in exactly tho
same way, except that the vegetables
are cooked for thirty minutes after
adding them to the stock.
An onion sonp is ono of tho best veg
etable soups we have. Fry four onions,
out in thin slices, iu two heaping table
spoonfuls of butter, or ven in nice
tat. Stir the onions continually whilo
they are frying, and whon thoy are
quite brown add a scant halt cup of
dour. Continue stirring tbo rather
pasty mixture that you have till the
flour has cooked a littlo and is well
browned. Then add very curofully, a
little at a limo, three cups of boiling
water. Add now a tablespoonful of
salt and lot the soup standing at tho
back of the Btove, whore it will slowly
simmer for half an hour. Now mash
smooth two fresh-boiled potatoes, add
about half a cup of milk to thoin, aud
stir them into the soup. Add another
cup of boilod milk, or enough to re
duce it to a cream consistency. Some
brands of flour requiro a littlo inoro
milk than others. Strain the soup
through a fino puree sieve. An ordin
ary flour sieve will do. Return it to
the kettle, which should be rinsed and
wiped out, and let it boil ten minutes,
stirring it frequently. Put a half cup
of little squares of toasted bread and
two tablospoonfuls of minced chives in
the tureen and pour tho hot sonp over
them.

If a dish of cold water is kept in a

In ices use twice as much ico as salt.
In creams use three times as much ice

in packing leave salt on top. Let

In muking a mustard plaster take a

Who pays
for all the clothes, etc., that are worn out
and torn to pieces in the wash ? Who
ever it is, he or she ought to insist that
the washing shall be done with Pearl-
and with Pearline only. Then
that ruinous, expensive rub, rub,
rub, over the wash-board, which
makes all the trouble, will be done
away with.
It isn't a little matter, either, this
needless wear and tear. It's bitr
enough to pay any man to look after
it, and stop it. ' IJearline saves not
only hard work, but hard-earned
