Speaking of ancient ships and ship building, Professor J. Harvey Bilef said that, though Great Britain and America had made such great strides in shipbuilding, none of their wooden ships approached tho dimensions of the Ark, which was 450 feet long, seventy five feet broad, and forty-flve feet deep. He calculated that this was the size of this vnssol from the Bible measurements, taking the cubit to be eighteen inohes. This, he thought, was the correot measurement. The largest wooden ship afloat now was the Shenandoah, and her dimensions were 299 feet by torty-nine feet broad and twenty-nine feet deep. Even the Campania was much smaller than the Ark, except in length, and the dimen sions of the Ark had only been ex ceeded in the case of the Great East ern. In 185G a prize was offered for the best model of a ship made by any one in the United Kingdom, and the models were on view at the Boyal In stitution. The prize was awarded to a model Bix times the beam to the length, and ten times the depth to the length, these being tho same propor tions as those of the Ark.— Scientific , American, Women are engaged in 100 occu- i pat ions.

The University of Chicago puts wo men on the same basis as men, wliethei students or teachers. Its History and Political Science Club has two or threa women on its list of officers. The accordion-plaited idea is in full force. Blouses, sleeves, skirts and even flounces are crimped in plaits of varying fineness. Some of them seem to be little more than a mass of wrinkles. Mrs. Augusta C. Hagen, of Phila delphia, conducts, jointly with her husband, a real estate business in Philadelphia. She takes entire charge of the office during his absence. Mrs. Hagen has been appointed notary public. A lovely evening dress shows the re turn to fashion of the costly lamino gauze, which displays a more or less widt stripe of metal foil, giviug an ef fect which, by gaslight, candle or electric light, is extremely brilliant, even too brilliant for those whose taste is quiet. Poems over the signature of "Annie Fields," which appear iu the leading magazines, are written by the widow of the well-known publisher, James T. Fields. Mrs. Fields lives in Boston, where she is well kuowu for her zeal in all kinds of philanthropic work, especially in the realms of organized ! charity, or the Associated Charities. It is quite obvious that a difference between the fabric of the bodice and that of the skirt will bo fashiouablo for some time. As a material for in dependent waists changeable silk has been used for some time. The newer waists are made of solid colors, crepe being used a good deal. The plain black surah waist is a favorite, as it can be worn under the fancy jackets like the Eton, Bolero and Zouave. The Princess Maud of Wales is credited with an original freak. A little while ago she slipped away from state and went to spend a week with a lady to whom she is much attached, who had been in attendance on her, but since married. She preserved a strict incognito as Miss Wells, and enjoyed herself amazingly at tenuis parties and other country house fes tivities. She was immensely popular. Miss Grace Thomas is the only wo man in Washington, D. C., engaged in the real estate business. The origin and growth of one of the popular su burbs is attributed entirely to her en ergy and enterprise. Miss Thomas began her training for tho business as au under secretary in the office of a Cincinnati real estate agent. Having learned the business, she selected Washington as a likely field for oper ations and started out for herself. To keep the dress in full hollow pleats a horsahair lining is no longer employed. It was much too heavy and wore out the edges of the material. A narrow strip of aluminum is now used, line as wire, and is covered with cotton tissue and put on inside of the skirt about one inoh from the edge. The wire is covered by a strip of ribbon the same color as the lining of tho skirt. This slight support keeps the hollow pleats well in place and makes tho skirt set gracefully. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS; i STEWED CELERY. Scrape and wash one or two heads of celery, cut the stalks into two-inch lengths and boil half an hour, or un til tender, in salted water. Drain off the water, pour over the celery suffi cient cream sauce to cover, simmer a few moments and serve. —New York VVorld. FRIED ONIONS. The art of frying an onion so that it will bo delicate and crisp is not generally understood. There is but one way to fry this vegetable which will give the right result—that is, to cut it in Hliceß and soak them in milk for at least ten minutes. Then dip tho slices in flour and immerse them in boiling fat, hot enough to brown in stantly a bit of bread thrown in. You cannot keep the onion in slices, so it is not worth while to try to do so. After they have fried for six or seven minutes they may be lifted up with a skimmer on to brown paper and will he found firm and thoroughly deli cious. Cooked in this way they may be served as a garnish to a daintily-) broiled beefsteak or to a dish of fried chops or beef croquettes. There is no way of fryiug an onion in a pan with a little butter, as commonly recom mended in cook books, which will pro duce a satisfactory result. The onion softens and absorbs the butter, owing to the natural law of capilliary attrac tion, and the result is that the butter and onion becomo a dark and greasy mass. —American Cultivator. APPLE JELLY. Apple jelly is little regarded be cause the apple is so common. Never theless it is one of our most excellent fruit jellies, and it is a standard de pendence of the French cook in tho preparation of fruit pies aud various other desserts. Tho French mako many delicious compotes of apples. The difference between a compote and a preserve should be carefully noted. A compote is a preparation of fruit put up for immediate use, as we put lip cranberries or stew apples; a pre serve is a preparation of fruit intended to be used at some distant time, and may usually bo kept a twelvemonth or longer. Apple preserves are an ab surdity, as apples are found in market all the year round, except in the be ginning of summer, when other fruits are in abundance. Apple jelly is best prepared from time to time as it is needed, though there is no objection to having two weeks' supplies in tho house for fruit pies and general use. A compote should not be made more than a day or two at the furthest be fore it. is to bo served. The most ' familiar American compote, moulded cranberries, is considered to be in its prime condition the day alter it is made. For an apple jelly select a dozen firm, well flavored apples. Fall pip pins make an excellent jelly, hut almost any well flavored, slightly tart apple i will do for this purpose. Do not peel I the apples, hut cut them into quarters, leaving the core in, but removing any wormy specks. Partially decayed ap ples are unfit for the purpose. Tour a pint of cold water over them and slice in half a lemon. Put them in a porcelain-lined kettle to boil. Let them cook for twenty minutes, and then strain them through a fine sieve or a coarse cloth. Add sugar in the proportion of a pound to every pint of juice. Let the sugar and apple juice boil together for twenty minutes. Then test the mixture, and as soon it forms a jelly pour it into cups. A layer of this jelly spread over an apple meringue pie before the meringue is put on is a great improvement, and most French cooks use such a layer in all their fruit pies, both next to the crust and over the fruit, so that the fruit is incased in the apple jelly. The reason for this is that the apple is an inexpensive, convenient article to use, and possesses the ability to take to itself the flavor of other fruits, like peaches, pineapples and greengages, A most delicious apple meringue pio is made of apple jelly strongly tinc tured with lemon juice and covered with a meringue flavored with lemon. For the purpose of economy a nice ftpplosatiee, strained as it should be, and with ft layer of apple jelly over it and then the layer of meringue is more often used.—New York Tribune. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. To clean brass lamp-burners and make them good as new, boil in salted vinegar. To prevent lamp globes from being broken by drafts or accidental sprink lings put on the stove in cold water and let slowly come to a boil. To clean rust or other stains from tho inside of decanters, cruets, or other slender necked glass vessels slice a potato and use ns you would shot grains. To slide pies with ease give the plate a few careful "flops" when you first take it from the oven and, unlesi the juice hat oooked over the edge, it will loosen at once. To boil dumplings in the old-fash loned way without a steamer invert a saucer in the bottom of kettle and, just before the water comes to a boil, drop them in around it. To beat eggs successfully they should first be thoroughly chilled. In the summer time they should be immersed in ice water or placed in the refrig erator a few moments be Tore using. Take a basket of eggs and dip in a kettle of water, putting tliem in and out again as quickly as possible, three times in succession. They will keep an entire soasonpreserved in thisw.iv. If the inside of your tea or coIT;e pot is black, fill it with water and put in a piece of hard soap. Het it on the stove and let it boil half an hour or Vne tour. It will be as bright as new.
