Edible Snails. As the German yearns for bin aim rage and the Englishman for bin beef steak, so the Frenchman, in whatever clime ho may be, looks forward to the season for snails. For somo senti mental reason the land snail never has been so widely popnlar with English speaking peoplo as the sea snail, and this is the more noticeable in Eng lund, wbero the sea snals known as whelks or winklos are eaten largely by the lower classes. It now appears, however, in this country as if t he land snail were coming into fsvor, ns the importations arc said to be increasing every year, and snails, served in varions ways, aro growing popular for late snppeis. As so in as tho first January thaw is reported in Faris, tho Frenchmou of Now York nnd other largo cities in this country begin to look out for the first consignment of snails. When tho steamer containing tho first shipment sails, special privato dinnors are ar ranged, principally in tho neighbor hood of Univorsity place, to take place ns soon as tho snails aro recoived. Last year u curious thing happened. Those snails arc not common garden snails, but carefully seloctcd fellows, well fed and cared for, which in the fall are packed in barrels, a layer being placed at tho bottom so that they quickly seizo on tho wood, then another layer, who seize on tho shell beneath tlieni, and so on until tho 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 great care is taken to linvo them stowed in a cool part of the hold, so that thoy arrive in a normal state. » Last yoar a consignment for a con spicuous downtown restaurant was reported oft Sandy Hook. The regu lar guests wero notified that at a cer tain hour tlio snails would be ready, nnd all preparations weromada. When the casks nrrived it was fonnd that they had been stowed too near the boiler room, and that all tho snails were awake and out of their shells, ami could not bo coaxed back into them. Tlioso put near ice did not go back into their shells, but just died. So no Escnrgots a la liourguignonne could be had, and the snails bad to be eaten in other ways.—Now York Sun, No Time Lost.

ECONOMY IN SMALL WAYS. The little leaks in the household ex penses, says the Jenness-Miller Month ly, are the most mischievous. The big ones are prominent enough to compel attention. Do you not, for example, trust all your tradespeople implioity ? You can't afford to do so. The head servants-in the Vanderbilt and Astor, and other wealthy families have among their chief duties that of weighing the household supplies. Dry goods meas urements in the large shops are gen erally very acourate because the em ployes are under strict orders to be But grocers and butchers will bear watching. Get for yourself or your kitchen priestess a set of meas ures and some scales, and after you and she have learned to use them, you will tte amazed to see how much you have been paying for that you havn't had. Even in the most reliable shops —so called—the weighing is very lax. Butchers claim that the deficiencies in their weights are all due to the waste in trimming. Very well, order the meat sent untrimmed. You will get fresher meat, and what you trim ofl will often give you nice bits for tho stock pot, suet, etc. Try it and bo oonvineed. A quick-witted housekeeper says she lias saved many a dollar in plumbers' bills by buying a force cup and learn ing to handlo a wrench. Despite wnshing soda and potash, now and then something unmeltable slips through tho sink strainer and clogs the pipe. All the more modern plumbing has n nut at the bottom of the "goose-neck," just below tho sink. By setting n pan beneath this, and with a wrench loosening and then removing the cap, tho obstruction will generally bo found right there. Sometimes the foroe-cup applied over the strainer in the sink will be sufficient to clear tho pipe without taking tho cap off the goose neck. If both fail, no harm will have been done, but one or the other, or both, succeeds ofton enough to make it worth while to exorcise ouo's ingen uity a bit. RECIPES.

Mrs. Zonowßky one day left some lard on a window sill, wrapped in ordinary brown paper, aud when she came back for it she noticed that tho under por tion of it had peeled off in a most ex traordinary manner, making a thin substance like a thin sheet of transpar ent paper between the lard and the actual paper wrapping. She went to work to investigate, and after many failures, demonstrated by praetioal'ex periments that a new material can be manufactured from animal substance.

Emerson long ago apprehended the truth when he said : "Beauty reaches its perfection in the human form. All men are its lovers. Wherever it goes it creates joy and hilarity. It reaches its height in women." Our reminiscences are, therefore, only the recognition of the tributes men pay to beauty, and wher we re call the stories of Pualine de Viguire, that virtuous and accomplished maiden'of the fifteenth century, who so 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 week on a balcony to allay the ex citement —and the accounts of that other lovely woman, Elizabeth Dun ning, the Duchess of Hamilton, of 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 reoall this mad ness of the world, it is not difficult to perceive how the theatre can become the pedestal and the wand of a beauti ful woman.—New York Commercial Advertiser. SEVERE ON HUSBANDS. Aeoording to the Massachusetts Su premo Judicial Court husbands can no longer rule their wives.

She may perform labor, and is entitled to her wages and earniugs. If she complies with the statutory re quirement as to recording a certificate she moy carry on any trade or busi ness on her sole and separato account, and take the profits, j( profits there are, as her separate property."

"That is the worst of tall people, by the way; they make every one else ap pear to be undersized.

The Maria Antoinette craze seems already departing. Imitation pearls are tho only neck jewels worth buying. Batiste insertions will be seen on many summer gowns. Large flowered veils of lace are seen on some of the new hats. Sliding chain bracolets of other 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-purpl« duchesse is used 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 lor the spring. Full chiffon sleeves and plastrons of 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 in lace and flowers is a genuine bit of Parisian millinery. A most pronounced feature of the ball-rooms this winter is the übiqui tious aigrette, worn, it is safe to say, by ninety-nine women out of a hun dred. In spite of the fact that the immense 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, whioh are out into square tabs at the outer edge and lined with a contrasting color. Tho plain, tailor-made gown, having full skirt, and three-button cutaway ooat, under whioh a pointed vest shows, will be one of the ready-mada leaders in light spring cloths of season able color. Moire is a popular trimming ma terial. Moire ribbons trim skirts from waist line to hem, and are made into rose ruchings to trim over the shoulders and down the sides of the front of the belt. A pretty new fashion, which has been shown on several of the lately itnported evening dresses, is a deep, square yoke, out rouud on the neck, the yoke being made of a different ma terial from the reßt of the gown. The indications are that the skirt and coat style will continue in favor for ordinary walking, shopping and traveling oostumes, aud that mohairs, oheviots, English tweeds and serges will be the fabrics used for these. Among the popular ideas in skirts are the five box plaits at the baok. The skirts are out on very tnuoh the same plan as those heretofore worn, but all of the fullness is laid in these plaits, whioh are very narrow where | they are attached to the belt, HOW THE BOERS FIGHT. OXAPHIC ACCOUNT OF TUX XATTLX OF MAJULA KILL. The Boers Carried by Storm a British Position Considered Impregnable —A Brilliant Vlstory. ENGLAND'S war with the Boers in South Africa, in 1881, showed the ability and cour age of the latter as fighters. An English correspondent who was taken prisoner by the Boers at the disastrous battle of Majula Hill, in which General Sir George Colley, the British Commander, lost his life, wrote the following account of the British defeat: The colnmn which left camp at Mount Prospect consisted of 600 men, all told, belonging to the Fifty-eighth, Sixtieth and Ninety-necoad Regiments and the Naval Brigade. The night was dark, and the march across an un known conntry toilsome in the ex treme. The troops carried oighty rounds of ammunition, water bottles and three days' provisions. Daylight was breaking when we approached the hill whioh was the object of the ex pedition. We were six hours in ac complishing what, as the crow flies, is a little over four miles, to the summit of an eminence from which we lookqd down upon a long line of Boer in trenohments stretching from a point immediately below us to Buffalo River. Our occupation of this hill made the Boer position absolutely untenable. The enemy's principal laager was about 2000 yards away. The position we had secured was undoubtedly one of immense natural strength. At sunrise the Boers were to be seen moving in their lines, but it was not until nearly an hour later that a party of mounted videites were seen trotting out toward tho hill, upon which th3y evidently intended to take their stand. As they approached our outlying pickets iired upon thorn, aud our pres ence was for the first time discovered. At about 7 o'clock the Boers opened fire, and the bullets whistled thickly over tho plateau. The men were all perfectly cool and confident. Ido not think the possibility of tho posi tion being carried by storm occurred to anyone. From 7tolla. m. tho Boers, who were lying all around the hillr, maintained a constant fire. Their shooting was wonderfully ac curate. The stones behind which our men in the front line were lying wero hit by almost every shot. Our men only showed themselves to take an oc casional shot, and accurate as was the enemy's shooting, up to 11 o'clock wo had but five casualties. So far our position appeared perfectly safe. The Boers had, indeed, got between us and the camp; but we had three days' provisions, and could hold out until reinforcements came up. From 11 to 12 o'clock tho enemy's fire continued as hot. but as harmless as before. Between 12 and 1 it slackened, and it seemed as though the Boers were drawing off. This, how ever, was not the case. The enemy had been, as was afterward learned, very strongly reinforcing their fight ing line in preparation for an assault. Soon after 1 o'clock a terrifio fire sud denly broko forth from the right lower slopes of the hill, the sido on which the firing had all along been heaviest. A tremendous rush was simultaneously made by the enemy. Our advance line was at once nearly all shot or driven back upon our maiu position. This position may be de scribed as an oblong basin on the top of the hill. It was about 200 yards long by fifty broad. Our whole force now lined the lim of the basin and fixed bayonets to repel the assailants. Tho Boers, with shouts of triumph, swarmed up the sides of the hill, and made several attempts to carry the position with a rush. Each time, how ever, they were driven back with tho bayonet. At last tho Boers, who had gathered near the edge of the slope, made a tre mendous rush at a point beyond that at which they had beforo been attack ing, and where the number of defend ers was comparatively small. They burst through the defenders and poured in over the edge of tho basin, and our position was lost. The maiu line of our defenders, their flank turned and taken in reverse, made a rush along the plateau to endeavor to form and rally, but it was useless. With fieroe shouts and a storm of bul lets the Boers poured in. There was a wild rush, with the Boers close be hind. The roar of the firing, the whistling of tho bullets and the yells of the enemy made up a din which seemed infernal. All around men were falling. Thsro was no resistance —no holt. It was a fight for life. At this moment I was knooked down by the rush and trampled upon, and when I enrno to my senses the Boers were firing over me at the retreating troops who were moving down the hill. Try ing to rise, I was taken prisoner and led away, On the hill I found the body of General Colley, shot through the head. After conversation with tho Boer general I induced him to grant me a pass togo into our camp and bring out succor for the wound ed. They were lying thickly both on the plateau and everywhere on the descent of the bill. The Boers were very civil. They took, it is true, a few articles I had about me, but no troops in the world could on the whole have behaved better as victors. As to the completeness of their vic tory there can be no question. They carried by sheer fighting a position which our general himself considered to be, defended by the force at his command, impregnable. Even now I can hardly understand how it was done, so sudden was the rush, so in stantaneous the change from what we regarded as perfeot safety in immi nent peril. It cannot be denied that the capture of Majula Hill is an ex ploit of whioh any troops in the world might be proud. During the enemy's advance our men hardly caught sight of a single Boer. The Boers crept through the grass, taking Advantage of every 6tone and every inequality of ground. When driven back by the Hro at one point they would work around uuperceived and thenoo open with heavy volleys upon up, themselves being all the time invisible. British Claims A«»In»t Chile.

It takes the form of indigestion, the food I take cot becoming assim ilated. After prescribing for mo for some time, the physician told mo I would have to bo treated for several months with a mild laxativo and corrective—something that would gradually bring back my normal condition without the vio lent action of drastic remedies.
