"Steer beef always retains its color, and the tallow is white no matter how long the enrenss has been in cold storage. On the other band, cow beef tallow is of a yellowish hue. Take that side of the beef over there, Bee how white the tallow is. Well, that's steer beef. Here is a quarter ot cow beef. ' Note the difference iu the color of tho tallow? The meat of a steer beef always re tains its bright red color. Not so with oow or bull beef. But it is possible to spoil the best of steer beef in the kill ing.

In Russia there is a school where girls of sixteen are taught to meet the requirements of the Russian courts. It is the desire of these girls, and it is considered a great honor, to beoomo waiting-maids to t'ao Empress. These girls dress very beautifully and live in state that they may become accus tomed to court manners and dross. The Czar supports these schools, but the Empress selects her maid of honor herself. Some who take the training never serve as maids of honor. The Outlook. FEATHER AND FLOWER RATS. At some of the leading millinery shops, says Harper's Bazar, are still to be seen hats and bonnets made entire ly of flowers. This, of course, is not a new style, bat tho shape is difiorent from that used for the last fow months. Violets are tho flowers generally employed, and in spite of'their be ing called flower'hats, there .are knots of velvet twisted in and oat among the flowers. TiieBO hats are in toquo shapes or in big flat hats. Much newer are the hats composed entirely ot feathers. These are. made iu turban shape, and one of feathers of tho green parrot is very soft and effective. Another is of erebe-skin, which is so fashionable with scal-skiu fur this winter. For tunately these hats present too serious a disadvantage to make them univer sally popular the feathers are rarely becoming against the hair and skiu, 30 that there is not much danger that the poor birds will be slaughtered to gratify a fad.j Lydia E.

As you see his faoo you will know that he (the Creole husband or father) realizes that no nower upon tho lilv oovered altar is half so fair or so fit for the temple's perfeot adorning as his blooming wife and budding daugh tera, who sit in line beside him. If be does not think these things he is a dullard or, maybe, only half Creole, Perhaps his mother was an American or Scotch. And then ? Perhaps he would not think them because tbov lui.L'Ut not be true. They would b other things, other things just ns lino and good, no doubt they might even have rare beauty of a different type but the Creole woman is a flower. She is a maguoliaor jasmine occasionally u camellia or, espeoially when there is a good warm drop of Spanish blood n her veins, she is a red, red rose rose too sweet to pass untouched but for her perfect dignity and a piquan hauteur that is as protective as any thorn upon a rose s stem, Properly speaking, or rather, nar rowly speaking, the Creole is an Amor i can, born of ireueu or bpanisn par cut?, or of both, aud, strictly, both parents should themselves be foreign born ; uat toe creoio is oiten only t lie great-great grandson of a Creole, and some of their families of purest blood could not reach the mother country without going back through three or four Auiericau-born generations. Ituth MoEnery Stuart, in Ladies' Home Journal. IYIITATIONS THAT T31IPT. Women with an inborn taste for beautiful things, but with no exten sive means of gratifying it, are this seuson more than ever tempted by a brilliant display of inferior imitations of very many of tho splendid fabrio-i and garnitures now tho rage spangled decorations, velvets, furs, ribbons, fancy jewelry, jet, feathers, etc. Sim plo articles of wear that are genuine are always a far better choice than elaborate imitationsof tho richest. A meretricious stylo never commend admiration, and inferior goods qaickly betray their quality. liest material with longer wear is the safest rule for those who have not been overblesscd by fortune. lint, while holding out a warniug anainst 'ho purchase of second-rate materials, it is not to be un derstood that there are no valuable aud beautiful fabrics and trimmings that are not high-priced. Never has there been an age or a yea" iu history where to much that is geuuiue and really desirable oauld be purchased at so low a price as now. It is in the ohoico aud opportunity presented for choice for real valuuble textiles that is the secret aud point of this matter. It is not necessary for the woman of .modest means, who loves, for instanoe. dainty laces, to tolect a poor imita tion of a real hand-ma le design. The stores everywhere provide her with beautiful "fan?y" laces that imitate nothing, but appear itpou thoir own charming, attractive merits, laces pro duced by uluiost uiiraflulou j intricate machine processes delicate of pat tern, duinty ns a cobweb, and beauti ful enough iu elleat to satisfy any but a critic luvi-h of uieaus aud bo prod igal of money and the rarities it cau provide, that nothing iu the world is quitu right or quite good enough for satiated tastes. Xo, there is a very great difference between the meretri cious materiuls which tempt so many women and those which ure inexpen sive yet desirable aud beautiful, au j oi.o lias only to make a holiday tour uf our stores, now so brilliantly and teui'itiugly arrayed, to perceive with her own eyes this particular difference and distinction., New York PiM. . tiossir.
