Blaggius is one of the men who
speak disrespectfully of prominent
people. A great pianist was pointed

"Do yon noto the weary expression

roads.
"I notice," he said, "by a compari
son of the maps, that both roads run

The Ark Beats All.
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

It is quite obvious that a difference

The Princess Maud of Wales is

enjoyed herself amazingly at tenuis

Miss Grace Thomas is the only wo

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

keeps the hollow pleats well in place

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
