DRESSINQ FOR DINNER,
Do you dress for dinner? or do yon
consider that s practice incompatible
with sterling merit and democratio
spirit? Have you regarded it bs a
babit to be left exclusively to those
who have nothing hotter to do than to
exhibit different sets of garments at
different hours of the cay? If so,
disabuse your mind at once of these
views. Dressing for dinner is a cus
tom 'to be commended from every
point of view, including the economic
and hygienic.
It is economic to wear a semi-evening
gown at;diuuor, for the street
gown, which costs twice as much as
the honee gown, lasts twice as long
with judicious changes. It is hygienic,
because there is actual bodily refresh
ment in soap, water, fresh linen and a
fresh gown after the toil aud turmoil
of the day, and there is also tho less
easily defined but equally potent in
fluence of pretty clothes upon the
mind, and hence upon the health of
he wearer. New York Advertiser.

Millions In Silver Coin.
Tlio Imperial Russian Miut at St.
Petersburg, and the ateliers of the
Hotel dos Monuaies, as tho Paris Mint
is called, aro both busy just now with
a hugo task of turning gold and silver
bullion into coins stamped with tbo
efligy of the new Czar Nichoias II.
Tho total value represented by this
issue of ooiu will bo over $750,000,
000. The gold coins of this vast sum
are boing ttrnck at St. Petersburg,
but tho contraot for minting the groat
quantity of silver pieces of small
denominations has fallen to Franco.
This in tho first commission of the sort
that Franco has received from the
Russian Government sjnoo 1862. The
metal which serves frr the fabrication
of those new silver pieces comes from
the United States.
Tho greatest number of coins struck
ill bo of the denomination of one
ruble, of about eighty cents value.
Upon its face is the profile of the
Czar, surrounded bv tho words in
Russian characters which mean "By
the grace of God, Nicholas II., Em
peror and Autocrat of all the Rus
sians." Upon tho reverse are Btamped
the imperial arms, the value, and year
of coinage.
The workshjps of the Hotel dos
Monnaies, where these coins are being
struck, are bo finely equipped for their
purpose that, aside from the money of
Franoo, they are kept busy continually
executiug orders from other countries.
Each of tho six furnaces in which the
silver is melted is cnpablo of contain
ing from luOO to 22,(1 pounds of metal.
The machines for stamping the coins
are remarkably ingouions pieces' of
mechanism, sixty pieces of money
being struck by each of them per
minute.
A Portrait's Eyes.
Waliaston's curious discovery was
that by adding to each pair of eyes a
nose directod to the right or the left
tho eyes lose thoir front direction,
and look to the right or left, accord
ing to the direction of the nose. By
means of a flap representing the lower
features iu a different position, as Dr.
Wallftston remarks, "a lost look of
devout abstraction iu an uplifted
conntenance may be exchanged for an '
appearance of inquisitive archness in
the leer of a younger face turned
downward and obliquely toward tho
opposite side."
As by changing the direction of the
lower features we change the direction
of the eyes, so by changing our posi
tion the eyes of the portrait apparent
ly! follow U9. If a verticle line be
drawn through the tip of tho nose and
haif way between the eyes there will
be the same breadth of head, of cheek,
of chin, and of neck on each side of
this middle line, and each iris will bo
in the middle of the whole eye. If
we now move to one side, the appar
ent horizontal breadth of every part
of tho head and fuco will bo dimin
ished, but the parts on each side of
the middlo line will bo diminished
equally, nnd at any position, however
oblique, there will be the same breadth
of face on each side of the middlo
line, and the iris will be in the center
of the whole of the eyeball, so that,
being on a flat surface, the iris will bo
eeon in front of the picturo or obliquo
ly. Notes and Queries.
Burial Alive.
A commission of physioiansis form
ing at Turin in Italy for the purpose
ot investigating the subject of appar
ent death. Owing to the small delay
nocoesary between death and burial iu
that country tho subject is of great
importance. The signs of apparent
death have undoubtedly led to the in
terment of many persons still living.
Turin furnished a remarkablo in
stance of the danger. A physician of
that city, who had doue admirable
service all through the epideinio of
1881, fell at last a viotim to the mala
dy, was certified as dead, and was al
ready luid out in his wiudiug sheet,
while his family, in an adjoining
room, were awaiting the arrival of the
undertaker. Suddouly tbey heard a
faint sound at the door, which was
then feebly opened aud thore they saw
the physician himself, who half au
hour later might have boon hermeti
cally sealed in his colli n. supporting
himself against tho door post and up
braiding them iu a voice scarcely uu
dible for having neglected him so long.
The panio stricken family had him at
oneo replaced iu bed, and, with the
best aid that could be got, endeavored
to resuscitate him, but in vain. He
died shortly after from cardiao failure.

"rS MODEL LINEN CLOSET.
Every housewife knows the comfort
of having a cupboard set asido for the
solo use ot the house linen. It should
be her prido to see that everything
contained in this cupboard is neatly
arraugod on tbo Bholvos, aud where, at
any moment, she will bo sblo to lay
her bands on any separate artiole. To
attain this she must herself arrange
tho linen on tho shelves, aud must not
allow any one clso, who is likoly to
disarrange it, to go to tho cupboard.
Let mo, then, show you which is tho
best method of arranging the liucn
oupboard. I will take an imaginary
cupboard, which has four sholves. Od
the first shelf should bo placed all the
bod linen, sheets, pillow cases, etc,
in different piles. On tho second shelf
all the bed furniture, curtains, oto. ;
on the third shelf all tho tablo linon,
together with any toilet mats, doylies,
etc., and lastly, on the fonrth shelf,
should bo placed towels, kitohon
linen aud tho various oddments which
are a necossarv adjunct to mako up a
oompleto sot of house linon. Liko all
cupboards, the linon chost requires
frequent overhauling, for the tiresome
serviottcs, ton cloths, etc, will woar
out and want roplonishing. In most
cases it is a wiso plan to replace each
article as it wears, and in this way you
will always have the full set ot linen
and will not suddenly find that yon
have not sufficient table napkins to go
round. Now York Advortiscr.
TO OARNISII COLD DlsrtKH.
Plain every day dishes at tho home
table may be made more appetizing if
the young housekeeper will instruct
her maid of nil work to pay a little
more attoution to them, or if sho will
devote a few moments before each
meal to seeing that tile dish is prettily
garnished.
Cold roast lamb is good ; but who
wants to have it placed buforo him iu
a whole log or shoulder, without a
sprig of green, on a hot day? A sim
ple and .effective way to serve cold
lamb is: Select a largo loin and have
your butuhor cut each chop up to tho
joint ; crack tho joints, but do not
separate them, and remove the meat
an inch from the end of each chop
bone. Now draw tbo two ends of the
loin together and tio, spreading the
small ends so they form a circle, aud
roast as you would any piece of meat,
only remembering that tho chops be
ing separated, the moat will oook more
quickly.
This lamb may be served hot or cold,
but, if it is cold, ornament the eud ol
each chop bone with a fringed and
ourled paper cap, stick a bouquet ol
mint or parsley in tho top, and upon
the platter between each pair of chopf
put a spoouful of cold boilod string
beans or peas, and on the greou bod a
small red ball cut irom boiled beets.
Serve a French dressing in a separata
dish for tho vegetables.
This is bnt one of many ways. If the
housokeepor shows interest in having
the home dishes prettily garnished the
maid soon will bo and will find she,
too, has a brain and can surpriso you
