It is - rare indeed nowadays that one sees even the table of a poor man set with plain white ware, while the houses of the wealthy show set after sot of china of such beauty and value that caretakers are put under bonds to insure its safety. The most expensive services are of Doulton, Royal Worces ter, or Dresden, the latter with its tiny flowers being exceedingly popular with those who can afford it. The Eng lish Caitldon ware, though costing more than the Haviland china, is said to be better worth the difference in price, as it is claimed that it will not chip easily. Corn sets are shown, with long, slen- dor platters with plates to match, as are sets for serving asparagus. Bohemian glass is used for salad bowls a nd linger bowls. Speaking of glass, Queen Victoria re cently ha d presented to her an exquisite DESSERT DIBII IX VENETIAN GLASS. dessert service in Venetian glass, dcc- I orated in quite a new style and made especially for the queen. The service consists of two large and six smaller dishes, each shell-shaped, of pale opal escent pink color, never made before, mounted with a griffon splashed with gold, and part covered with what ap pears from a short distance a square of real lace of exquisite workmanship. On closer investigation, however, these covers turn out exceedingly clever imi tations of lace designs, enameled by hand, and afterwards lired to render them durable. The lace design on the two large dishes consists of combina tion of rose, thistle and shamrock, with a butterfly hovering between the flowers. On the same dishes the grif fon holds a shield on which the royal crown is enameled in color. Shape, coloring and decorative workmanship of those dessert dishes are of the ut most elegance and delicacy. PACKING YOUR TRUNK. UnloHH Yon Ar an Export Follow tho A. V Kimlncflft. ' "We were married thirty-seven ! years," a man said who had lost his wife, "and in all that time she never gave me a cross word. But I shall never forget the first time I scolded her. One morning when we had been married about two years, I found a button off my shirt. I threw the gur j merit at her and said, in a rough voice: j 'Sew a button on.' She got a button ! and sewed it on, saying: 'Forgive me, husband, I had a great deal to do yes terday and I forgot it, but it shall j never happen again.' Ilcr gentle words almost broke my heart.

POPULAR SCIENCE. TOE temperature of the sun is placed by scientists at 10,000 to 20,000 de grees F. IT is computed that every year tho earth receives about 140,000,000,000 shooting stars, which fall on its surface and thus slowly increase its mass. PROF DOLDEAR says electricity pos sesses no virtue as such for the cure of disease. It will make as bad ulcers as it will heal and destroy life as compla cently as strychnine or tho guillotine. IT is not likely that earthquakes ever result from electric disturbances, and it has not j-et been proved that they ever give rise to uny such, though when largo masses of rock are displaced, as in Japan in 1801, slight local changes in magnetic curves have resulted. PROF. ABA GRAY says that the Wash ington elm at Cambridge has been esti mated to produce seven million leaves, which would make a surface radiation of about five acres in extent, and give out every fair day in the growing sea son seven and three-fourths tons of moisture.

Frankness without rudeness, inde pendence without the least tinge of egotism, sincerity freed from any show of coarseness, promptness of expres sion without undue liberty of speech, and the grace and sweetness of atten ' tion and sympathy are the nerves of ! good manners. Lacking these mere physical attractiveness goes for naught; ! with them a homely face and an un : classic form appear positively beauti ful. Style tells, and there can be no good style in the absence of good char acter. One of the shrewdest things that Emerson ever said was: "He that does i not fill a place at home, cannot abroad." j Good manners begin at home and have their sharpest test in the conduct of everyday domestic affairs and in the management of what we are wont to consider the insignificant circum stances of private life. It was a vulgar old woman who said: "I hain't got no Sunday-go-to-meetin' foolishness about me;" but her remark carried a val uable suggestion of what man ners should be, the same every day in the year. That is to say, the habit of life, not the for mality assumed for an occasion, is the true basis of social conduct, and early youth is the time in which a proper habit of life is to be acquired. What we do from habit we do without self-consciousness, easily and with such grace as we have. Good breeding is but tiic hereditary habit of doing the right thing as a matter of course. If you have not good breeding the next best thing is sound self-training, not in outward expression alone, but in in ward taste, aspiration and attitude. For manners are but extrinsic badges of intrinsic values. The flower is from the root; the grace of charming con duet is from the purest wells of right feeling and honest purpose, lie sure that a worthy motive and an unselfish attitude of mind are behind your con duet and you need not dread criticism. Somehow genuine goodness and a sym pathetic attention to others cove* all of our merely conventional shortcom ings, provided these shortcomings are not the result of vulgarity which is in compatible with ordinary regard for one's station in life.—Angeline Bryce Martin, in Chautauquan. A TOILET SECRET. How to Wave the Hair According to the Latest Dictum. The fashion of waved hair brings about a new method in the use of the old-fashioned curling iron. The hair must no longer be crimped, but must be laid over the head in large, natural looking waves. The entire secret lies in the fact that the iron is no longer applied to the tip of the tress of hair, and the hair wound over it, but the tress of hair itself is wound around the iron, beginning as near the scalp as it is comfortable to hold the heated iron. The illustration shows better than words exactly how this is done. The parting of the hair, which proved so unpopular when it was first introduced, has been accepted chiefly by those per sons of a Madonna type of face, for WAVING THE HAIR, they can bear the severe style of hair dressing. The delicate fringe of curls which so many maidens still continue to wear Is too becoming to the major ity of American girls to be driven out of fashion. Rcclpo for Creamed Eggs. Take four slices of toast, four hard boiled eggs, two tablespoonfuls of but ter, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of pep per, one teaspoonful of salt, one tea spoonful of llotir, three gills of milk. Cut the eggs Into thin slices. Cut the slices of toast in halves and lay them in a warm platter. Put the butter on the fire in a frying pan and when it be comes hot add the flour. Stir until the mixture is smooth and frothy. Gradu ally add the cold milk, stirring all the time. When this boils up add the salt and pepper. Mix the eggs with the sauce and spread on the toast, liako in a moderate oven for six minutes and serve immediately. llow to Muke I.nnonadti. The Journal of Hygiene says lemon ade is the most perfect of drinks; that it ought to be substituted for tea, coffee and alcoholic drinks. This is the direction given for making it: "For a quart, take the juice of three lemons, using the rind of one of them. Carefully peel the rind very thin, getting just the yellow outside. This cut into pieces and put with the juice and powdered sugar, of which use two ounces to the quart, in a jug or jar with a cover. When the water is at boiling point pour it over the lemon and sugar; cover at once and let it tret cold." Now Way of Serving: Pinoappir. vVhere the pineapple is very fine and j ripe, it may be brought to the table ! whole; it is a pretty dish; and can be ' served by digging out the eyes, one or | two at a time, with a ehccse scoop or pointed spoon. The sections will be ! found to run clear to the center, and i will split as readily as those of an i orange. This method of servifig pine- ■ apple is that always used in England for the line liot-house fruit, which never costs less than half a guinea. Pineapple thus served is eaten by hold ing it in the hand, and dipping the pieces in sugar, in the manner familiar to us for strawberries. JEWELS FOR THE HAIR. Keal Works of Art Produced by American Artisans. Single rieer of Jewelry That Can He .Subdivided Many Times—l'rctty Rib bon Ornaments Worn by Our Everyday Girls. The flexibility which has so long been desired by jewelers in the con struction of certain articles seems to have been attained in the beautiful tiara of diamonds shown. It is de signed in a very light and graceful stylo and can be converted into four different articles. First there is the handsome central crown. This may be taken to pieces and merely left as a tiara; the sides, by means of clasps, are joined together and produce a smaller model. Then the large tiara, supplemented by the two narrow bands of jewels which rest on the hair, is converted into a massive diamond nccklaek, the smaller one in turn being similarly adopted. Further subdivis ions OK this ingenious ornament pro- MARVKLOUB IIAIR JEWELS. ride a small necklet by taking the two sides of the original crown. Then, again, it is possible to have merely a single-stone necklet from the junction of the two slender bands of the coro net. The achievement is the more re markable since it has not so far been foun'Lnossible to obtain flexibility in a flora i design. This trinket is valued at the modest sum of §3,500. Another model, comparatively low priced, but also worthy of much ad miration, is a diamond and pearl aigrette for the hair, which can be de tached and worn as a brooch. The third figure is a shell hairpin sur mounted by two dainty little Mercury wings united by a knot of diamonds. In these days of much dressed heads handsome hair ornaments are becom ing daily more popular. It is a far cry from these jeweled playthings of the wealthy to the simple, little, ribbon ornament of the every day girl is probably just as happy as she of the diamond crown. Many a young girl manages to look delightfully pretty with a dainty rib bon bow in her hair instead of a glit tering jeweled one. Two styles are particularly popular. For the first, four bows of velvet ribbon are tightly tied, with two upstanding ends of the same. Itose-colorcd velvet is the fa vorite, and when a tiny bow of white lace is introduced the effect is charming on pretty brown hair. These can be worn with a rou leau of velvet or can be fastened in the hair with a fine, steel crescent hair pin. The other popular how real ly consists of four ends of crosswny velvet, arranged nvo on each side, with a tie in the center. The outer ends ure longer than the others and are cut in Vandykes. On orange, blue, or pink bows of this kind a narrow jet trim ming is run on a little way within the edge. Another dainty ornament for the hair is a rouleau of blue velvet and five rosettes of blue silk lisse. The rouleau is worn across the top and around one side of the coil of the hair. Near the front end a butterfly is light ly placed above a good-sized rosette. The smaller rosettes are placed on the band at intervals, two being quite at the end. Domestic Service In Saxony. Women whose lives are made miser able by the peculiarities of domestics will road with interest, if not appreci ation, this item concerning the laws of Saxony, which are indeed somewhat curious, relating to servants. For in stance, the mistress, is required to allow the servant one pound of butter and one pound of coffee per month, or their equivalent in money. If the servant furnishes her own bed ding she receives three farthings per night for so doing. Three shillings per month is allowed the servant for washing, and she receives five per cent, on all purchases she makes. She must give a month's notice before leaving her place, and must keep a book for recommendations, in which, upon leav- ! Ing her place, her mistress is com- i polled to state the cause of the serv- j ant's leaving, and also what is her character. About rrcHident Cttsinilr-Perler.
