materials, such as silk muslin, chiffon, j

gauzy affairs, which are well named
“cool mantles,” for the element of
warmth is entirely lacking. However,
they afford all the thickness that is
needed and fulfill their mission by
looking pretty and giving a finishing
touch to the street toilet. The most
fashionable ones are very short and
often built in two or three stories; for
instance, a moire foundation will
have a second cape of finely plaited
chiffon spangled at the edge, while
the third cape will be of jetted net or
old guipure lace, with a full ruche of
ostrich feather or quilled tulle around
the neck.
A very dainty and summery cape is
made of finely plaited black chiffon
over a second cape of the same mate-
rial in glowing cerise, yellow or white.
The black cape is caught up with satin
bows on the shoulder. A yoke of
spangles or net, around which the
flounces of chiffon are shirred makes
it very pretty. One of the season’s
shapes has long stole ends in front.

The most conspicuously new hats are
of the English walking-hat type. It is a
revived shape and very like that
which fashionable women were a year
ago familiar with. The low crown is
broad and of good size and fits snugly
over the head, and the brim is turned up
at its edge and is close to the sides of the
head. For trimming there is commonly
a band of bias velvet about the crown
and at the front a bow from which rise
wings of feathers or other trimming.
Hats like that pictured here are very
often seen, and a type which is very
like it is trimmed with one wing effect
in the fro it, with a half dozen or more
small upright loops placed at the back.
The model shown is in black chip
trimmed with moire in two upright
wings which are covered with cream
guipure.
The critics of fashion’s laws find in
the sailor hat’s continued favor much
cause for wonderment. They affect sur-
prise that a hat which is serviceable,
comfortable and generally of moderate

—Boiled fillet of veal is a dish not
often met with, but nevertheless only
to be tasted once to be always welcome.
To prepare this a larding needle will
be required which can easily be pro-
cured and manipulated. Get a nice
fillet of veal and stuff it. Cut a slice of
bacon about one-eighth of an inch
thick, and then divide it into narrow
strips; with these “lard” the fillet, pass-
ing the bacon through the meat with
the needle. Bind the fillet firmly to-
gether with tape and boil it in a cloth
slowly for two or three hours accord-
ing to its size. Serve with forcemeat
balls and a nice white sauce.—Woman’s
Home Journal.
—Beefsteak Pie.—Cut three pounds
of lean steak into strips three inches
long and four inches thick; put to stew
in sufficient boiling water, but not
enough to cover the meat. After stew-
ing slowly half an hour add a little
sweet thyme,a tablespoonful of parsley
chopped fine, a good-sized onion cut in
slices and pepper. After the seasoning
is added continue stewing until the
meat is very tender. Now add enough
cornstarch to make a gravy as thick as
cream, adding at the same time salt
and Worcestershire sauce. Have ready
six or eight hard-boiled eggs, and place
them in alternate layers with the meat
in a'pie dish; pour the gravy over all
and cover with rich pastry. A dash of
nutmeg (if liked) added to the gravy is
an improvement. The gravy should be
tolerably thick and not too much of it.
Be careful not to put too much water
into the meat at first, and do not fill
the pie dish to within an inch and a
half of the top. A lean steak is better
for this than a sirloin, which is too fat.
This pie was eaten on the shore of the
sea, on the rocks where Bermudey
landed hundreds of years ago, and was
a foretaste of Elysium.—Boston Bud-
get.
HINTS ON PRESSING.
A Few Healthful Suggestions for Amateur
Dressmakers.
Pressing is an art to be acquired only
by experience and is one of the last
things trusted to the hands of even the
most careful apprentice by the fashion-
able modiste, for upon this part of the
work depend the fit and finish of the
garment.
To her neglect of, insufficient or un-
skillful pressing, the failure of the
amateur to secure that indefinable
something in style so much to be de-
sired is often due.
The real modiste presses and bones
the seams of a bodice before fitting,
even for the first time, while the home
dressmaker frequently neglects to
press hers at all. It is an awkward
feat for her to perform and she thinks
it doesn’t make much difference any-
way; but, in fact, it should accompany
the work in all its stages, from the
first piece of lining joined to the last
bit of facing felled down-.
The simplest way to press a long
seam, as in the skirt or between
breadths of the goods, is to open the
seam and set the iron down firmly,
hold the goods with the left hand and
stretch slightly. Then the seam will
appear to open of its own accord as you
pass the iron along it.
A rolling-pin and a broomstick are
both repeatedly recommended to in-
sert in a sleeve in order to press its
rounding seams with care, but a tight
roll of newspapers will answer the
purpose equally well, and certainly
seems to be more cleanly.
If you do very much work it is well
to have a genuine sleeve-board which,
besides doing the work much better
than any substitute, is always ready.
This sleeve-board should be about
three inches wide at one end, seven at
the other and twenty-five inches long.
About four inches from the upper end
nail a block three inches thick which
will give the board somewhat the look
of a boot-jack. Cover neatly, first with
flannel and then with muslin. When
pressing the sleeve, draw it on so that
the seam comes on the edge of the
board, which should be nearly an inch
thick, and rest the board on the other
edge. On this narrow plane you can
press without danger of creasing the
full puffs or othei’ parts of the sleeve.
Never dampen seams when pressing
them. This is a dangerous and useless
thing to do. A few drops of water ac-
cidentally sprinkled on the goods may
ruin the dress and a little harder pres-
sure will do the work equally well.—
Farm, Field and Fireside.
BILLY BUSCHER’S RHYMES. No 1016.
Galveston’s glorv and her pride, [beside.
Are the fresh sea breeze and Buscher’s beer
Here’s hospitality with a rare hand,
Seldom equaled in any land.
But city statesmen who know it all,
And their subalterns at the city haD,
Would close saloons to one and all.
If strangers at the city gate
Should come from the North in princely gait,
Here to spend and have a good time,
They will appreciate my friendly rhyme.
But close the doors where enjoyment reigns—
Where a man can forget all his pains;
Put up all barriers to labor’s gains;
Put off improvements—shut off the “stuff,”
And we’llhave prosperity—in a pinch of snuff.
The so-called sanctimonious set,
What they do in the dark we know not yet;
With rotten whisky at all drug stores.
They’d like saloons to keep closed doors.
But at Buscher’s Hall there are drinks for all—
For everyone in this broad land—
An elegant lunch set every day—
And I’ll rhy me you some more some other dav.

JACKETS FOR IRONCLADS.
The Problem Before Navigators Is How to
Protect the Steel.
Nobody is foolish enough to pretend
that we can coat our iron-clads ex-
ternally with sealskin or porpoise
hide, and undoubtedly we are at a
great disadvantage as compared with
nature and her living forms. Very
possibly the ultimate solution of this
question may be found in the applica-
. tion of some new material altogether
to the external coating of our vessels.
Compressed paper, or compressed
ramee fibre, which are now increasing-
ly employed in America for railway
wheels and steam pipes, would seem
promising materials for that purpose.
' They admit of being molded external-
ly into any minute grooves, or tiny
overlapping plates like the scales of
fish.
Little or no extra expense will there-
by be incurred, as an enormous hy-
. draulic pressure, capable of forming-
i any required surface, is already em-
[ ployed in the regular course of man-
ufacture. Or they can just as easy be
molded into a rough shagreen, which
in form can be made a fac simile re-
1 production of the skin of the shark.
! And by their tough and strong- re-
tentive structure they would effect-
ually protect the steel, or real skin of
the vessel, from corrosion by the salt
water. But all this is mere conjecture.
Any such suggestions which any man
can propound will be nothing more
than conjecture, so-long- as we are con-
tent to remain in our present deplor-
able darkness and ignorance of the
real governing conditions of the prob-
lem. What we most require is, there-
fore, light.—Contemporary Review.
Mathematics.
Mathematics should be regarded as a
kind of mental shorthand; a ready
means for stating- a proposition exactly;
an instrument for recording- thoughts
so that they cannot be misconstrued.
It is no longer to be associated with
things uninteresting and vague; the
reverse is undoubtedly the fact; to a
mathematician, there is as much de-
light in the solution of a problem as a
musician finds in composing a sonata.
Mathematics is not essential to the
art of theorizing, but it is essential to
the art of theorizing- rightly; it is the
only economical method of thought.
It was Darwin’s belief that “no one
could be a good observer unless he was
an active theorizer.” Then, too, a
mathematician can generally give
points to a logician in a subtle argu-
ment, for it implies no trickery stronger
than the truth.—Electrical Review.
The Three Spirits of Man.
There are but few beliefs that are
more peculiar than that of the Moham-
medans respecting the three several
spirits which they believe inhabit the
bodies of all men. The first is the ani-
mal spirit, which has its seat in the
brain, performing through the nerves
all the actions of sense and motion.
The second is the vital spirit, which
has its seat in the heart, and which has
control of the motion, blood and ani-
mal heat. The third is the natural
spirit, which is seated in the liver, and
upon which depends the temper and
general frame of the mind.—St. Louis
Republic. ___
iixivieil Customs of New Zealand.
The New Zealanders have a singular
burial custom, and one that is essen-
tially the same as thabof the Parsees of
the Orient. Unlike the latter, they
bury their dead in the earth, but leave

One day a young man called at the
ea-----He
carried a small roll of manuscript,
wore good clothes and had a self-sat-
isfied smile. Addressing the editor, he
said:
“I beg your pardon. It know that
your time is valuable, but I know
also that you have a great sympathy
for young authors, and I would like
to ask your advice on a matter small in
itself, but very important to me.”
The editor heaved a sigh of resigna-
tion, but said meekly:
“Very well. What is it?”
“One reason why I decided to come
to you,” went on the young man, ignor-
ing the direct question, “was because I
have such a very high opinion of all of
your writings.” .
“Thank you!” said the editor,wearily.
“I have written a [little poem my-
self,” continued the visitor, while the
editor groaned, inwardly. “It’s only a
fragment, and I hardly think it de-
serves the name of a poem. But those
of my friends who have read it say that
it has merit, and that it ought to be
published. Still, I can’t help feeling
that they are prejudiced in my favor,
and I know that of course you are
not.”
“Certainly not,” assured the editor,
confident that he was speaking truth-
fully.
“Of course not,” said the young man,
“and that is the reason why I have
come to ask your opinion of it. Youi
honest, unprejudiced opinion, mind.
For some time I have been thinking of
devoting my whole time to literature,
and your decision may bring around
the turning-point in my life.”
“Well, really,” replied the editor, “I
am very busy this morning, but if you
will leave the verses with me, I will
read them at leisure and return them I
to you.”
“Oh, now, you needn't be afraid of
offending me.” said the young man, air-
ily. “There are only four verses in the I
poem. Will you please read them now,
and criticise them just as much as you
please? I dare say they are crude I
enough,” and he held out the manu- |
script.
The editor took it and read the
Then he looked up and said:
“Yes, they are crude enough—very
crude.”
“Oh, well, of course they are not per-
fect,” answered the author, with a
smirk, although his cheeks were flushed
with anger, “but I—”
“They are lacking in the first princi-
ples of verse,” said the editor, quietly
yet mercilessly.
“Sir, I—”
There is absolutely no poetry in
them.”
Sir, do you—”
“Wait a moment,” interrupted the
editor, calmly. “You asked, you even
insisted, that I should give an honest
criticism and tell the truth. Well, I
propose to do so. This is not poetry.
YWu haven’t the first idea as to what
poetry is. I doubt very much if you
can ever write poetry. I would hon-
estly advise you to—”
“Nobody wants you to advise,” cried
the young man, snatching the manu-
script from the editor’s hands. I didn’t
come here to be insulted. I had often
heard that you were jealous of all new
poets, but I didn’t believe it. I know
it know.”
And he left, and the editor went back
to his work.—Golden Days.
