O" w | > the patriotic Danish women. r a queen's respect for toe dead. >' "When Queen Victoria dies the numerous suits of rooms now closed in the royal palaces will probably be re-opened for occupancy. The Queen has a strong penchant for closing rooms once used ' by her friends. The apartments at v Claremont in which the Princess Charlotte died more than seventy years ago are rigorously closed. Prince Albert's apartments at Windsor, Osborne and Balmoral are all kept precisely as they were when he was alive. The Duchess of Kent's rooms at Fragmore are also shut up, which renders that abode absolutely useless, as they are the best in the house. The Queen has also kept John Brown's rooms at Windsor entirely closed <ince the death of that domestic. a two rotal sisters. i The Princess of Wales and the Em^ypress of Russia wear simple muslin HLdresses, and a belated traveler peering in ^Rt the window would only think it was an unusually happy and generous family j party. The Princess of Wales is the | taller and more reserved, but the sisters | resemble each other very closely, and both incline to the same style of neck dressing, arranged in terraces (they say that in the case of the Princess the broad band covers a scar, but court ladies who have seen her in deshabille declare that tf.ionnt sn hut it is worn simolv because -w ? ?? - - -- L -v - - - . she knows a broad neck band helps the j lines of her face and makes her longer. Age always begins to show itself in the neck, you know). The last time I saw the Princess at a state concert, says a correspondent of the Indianapolis New*, sh? was in mourning, with many diamond stars on her black lace dress. On her neck she wore a band of velvet one inch wide, edged with lace. On thi6 was a row of magnificent diamonds, while above and below were smaller revers, and below all was a very elaborate necklace necklace of diamond filagree. OSCULATORV* GREETINGS. Kisses are really not agreeable greetings to exchange, say a woman writer in London Truth: Very few people know how to bestow or receive them in a neat and ! satisfactory fashion. A slovenly kiss is j a really detestable article, and makes one ' dislike and despise the bestower. Of all i my girl friends who kiss me when we meet there is only one from whose oscur'latory greeting I do not involuntarily Lshrink. Some butt at the kisses with lips made into a hard ball for the purpose. These almost give one the toothache. Others bestow their dewey lips upon one's cheek in a way that makes the recipient grope hastily but furtively for a handkerchief. A third contingent kiss in a cold and chilling -way that says plainly enough: "I kiss you because I suppose you expect it of me." I always sympathize with these, and would gladly fall in with their views. Amy, do let us make a non-kis6ing conpact company and see t how many of our acquaintances will join it. The rules would not forbid a kiss after a long absence, nor would it interfere with lovers' kisses or anything of that sort, but only combat the custom of daily greeting by osculation. feel quite 6ure that woman's friendships would be firmer and more durable if they would abandon all 6uch heavy demands upon it. Do you agree with me? JAPANESE WOMEN. The Japanese woman wears none of the frills, ribbons, or fripperies known to her western sister; all is simple, useful and complete; neither knows she aught of jewelry or ornament, except, may be, j such as she wears in her chignon, which, by the way, is dressed with much and ' elaborate care, and ever with due regard I to her married or single state.

Then it is that they, with their attendants, go shopping, visiting, or are j to be met on festival occasions shaded ! with great Japanese umbrellas or sun- j shades, their costume incomplete without some gay and beautiful fan, always worn to harmonize wit'i the rest of the dress, ; and just as indispensable a toilet adjunct1 to the masculine as to the feminine crea- j ture.

Earrings also?and this may be instructive to the western women ?they deem barbaric. The matrons choose their robes of soft, harmonious and rather dull shades of peach-color, purples, grays and browns, wearing with these an underskirt of white; "while the j young maids of less serious humor deck themselves in brighter hues.

FASHION NOTES. Party dresses for little girls are made of Liberty's silks in jesthetic hues. Enormous muffs and fur gloves reach- | ing to the elbows are a cosey prediction, j All sealskin garments are now shaped to follow the liues of the figure, yet are ' not tight-fitting. Tortoise shell combs are now made so : that jeweled tops may be removed and worn as brooches. Liberty's silks are firmer than India j silks, more like India pongee, and trim j effe^ively with lace or velvet. Now that the tourcure has been re- ; duced to graceful proportions, we are j threatened with a revival of crinoline. The large lace cravats now so fashiona- j ble are fastened with jeweled safety pins, i which are put in carelessly, to avoid a ; set effect. A roViacnofiQ rtf n rlnrlc Pnlfir on a llfht ! " *""".1 ' ? - O ground and Vandyke patterns are to be ; had in inexpensive flannels for morning i wrappers. Sealskin jackets are somewhat changed ( in shape, being of equal length front ; and back, instead of sloping toward the front, as last season. Bands of velvet, straight at the lower edge and cut out in Vandykes at the top, ' are an effective finish for straight skirts of cashmere and cloth for "little girls. Dressy frocks for misses are made of j Nile-green or ox-blood red cashmere, with Figaro jackets of black velvet and rows of plain velvet ribbon on the plain skirts. The better class of sealskin garments | the present season, of whatever shape, j have invisible fastenings, consisting of ; loops and "olives," the lat'ter with seal- ! skin or crochet coverings. A few sealskin wraps are shown by the i leading furriers, but the demand is light. ] In shape they follow the leading models in cloth wraps, and sea otter and othei ; rich furs are used for trimmings. The number of long, slender pins ! which arc thrust carelessly through the trimmings of many of the new hats, suggest the possibility of a reserve supply, j J? 1 - win/le r\r* nor LU ue UiCU ILL vase UX UJ?U mm4a \jk iri.uv.1 j accident. A new light shade of mahogany brown is known as Eiffel and will take the place I of its darker sister shade in combinations 1 with green this fall. Then follow ane- ! mone, Java, cuivre (copper) and condor, i these lighter tints melting gradually into ! ecru. Vulture is "the" new color and will undoubtedly "go" well. It is exactly j the shade of a vulture's back, with a sort j of a dusky bloom all over the surface, I whether it is oper; cloth, cashmere, j camel's hair or twill. It is very cunningly I woven. A popular ornament in expensive jewelry is the sun star. It is, as its name implies, a large star, with sharp points, j and composed entirely of brilliants. It may be worn on the shoulders, on the sash, or fastened into the lace draperies of J a trained evening dress. The sealskin cloak is still the perfection j of elegance in winter street garments, and this season there are several new features which especially commend it to the shopper who seeks comfort and protection from wintry blasts, combined j with rich and handsome appearance. Chemical Transformation. Alcohol, one of the best known pro- j ducts of chemical industry, may serve as j evidence to what degree of perfection th* composition and decomposition of chemi- i cal compounds has been brought. As the chief constituent of intoxicating bev- j erages, alcohol, together with carbonic i acid, originates by fermentation from sugar; but this is not the only possible j way to produce it. The brightness of ; electric lights, by which public places, roads, stores, etc., of our cities now are illuminated at night, is emitted by an electric current passing between two carbon points. When such a passage of electricity takes place in a glass balloon j filled with hydrogen, the electric current causes this gas to unite with carbon, forming acetylene, a gaseous compound, which in contact with more hydrogen readily takes it up, forming a second gaseous compound?ethylene?which is the chief light giving constituent of illuminating gas. Ethylene, when brought into contact with sulphuric acid, forms a j liquid combination, and this, when treated with potassium hydrate, is converted into alcohol. Having thus built i up from its elements a substance formerly ; known only .'is a product of fermentation, j we may proceed at once to decompose it aguiu into its elements. We can easily regain the carbon which it contains, by , heating alcohol with sulphuric acid, which again converts it into ethylene; and this gas, when mixed with chlorine gas and lighted, burns away, leaving car- I bon, which, .'is a dense black smoke, lills the vessel.?Popular Science Monthly. j Bird Seed from Morocco. Bird seed forms a considerable item in I the export trade of some of the Moorish j ports. This seed is never sown apart by I tlie Moorish farmers, nor is any special attention paid to its cultivation, it is > sown with wheat, and when reaped and I thrashed it is separated by the country- i women in sieves. The reason of this practice is that there is a general super- j stitiou among the Moors that in very wet seasons the wheat is in part converted I into bird seed, and hence they sow the i two together. Of course, if they were sown separately the^crops would be much ' more abundant and .the quality better, I the soil in many parti being especially suitable for the bird v seed,-?London Times. \ HOUSEHOLD MATTERS. . CALF S HEAD SOUP. Take the liquor in which a well skinned l and cleaned calf's head has been boiled, 1 and skim it the next day from any fat j that may rise. Melt in a saucepan a j quarter of pound of butter; add a thin ! slice of nice ham, not over a quarter of a j pound,' two tablespoonfuls of minced j parsley, a little thyme, lemon thyme, if you have it, a bay leaf, two white onions, a few chopped mushrooms and a shallot, ! or if not at hand, a clove of garlic. Add to these ingredients a pint of brown stock, i and simmer the whole for two hours; add j the liquor from the calf's head heated hot and the juice of a Seville orange and ?--?!ivnon.

The following recipe makes excellent , starch for those things that require to be i really stiff, such as collars and cuffs, and J white shirt fronts. "Where extra stiffness j is necessrry, a small piece of white wax j should he stirred into the boiling starch j until quite melted. To every two tabiespoonfuls of starch, allow one-quarter of a pint of cold water and one pint of boiling water. To mix the starch, put it in a clean basin ana i pour the quarter of a pint of cold water over it. Break up the lumps, and, if j there are any specks of dirt in the starch? and the best is not always quite free from them?they may be taken out with I a clean spoon. Then mix the starch j thoroughly, and pour upon it a pint of boiling water. This last water should be actually boiling while the starch is , being made. If it is at a less degree j than boiling heat, the starch will not be ; as thick as it might be, and it will need ; boiling. Stir all the time the boiling j water is being poured on, and when the J starch is thoroughly and smoothly mixed, put in about a quarter of an ounce ot white wax. A white paraffin candle will | do quite as well as wax. It is not a bad plan to save the short bits of paraffin 01 I knf noiui ! wax canines lur un? puijjuoQ, uuu v???. , must be taken whether wax or candle is j used to increase the stiffness and gloss of j the starch, it shall be quite clean. The j least carelessness in this respect destroys the appearance of the article to be ironed. Cover the starch with a cloth folded seven or eight times double, and set it i aside to cool. I I HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Does everybody know that the best | covering for a poultice or a mustard pastt ; is tissue paper. Clothes that have been sprinkled will i not mildew for days, even in summer, if i kept away from the fire. Use a silver spoon when cooking mush- ! rooms. The silver will be blackened if ; anv injurious quality is present. Be ashamed to iron a limp shirt bosom. : Men do not so much care for a polished j -f/1a fnr o cfifF AtlP dilll t HUlil (W lliCJ UV 1U1 U gfixi. vuvi Air the house thoroughly every day, even "though the rain comes down in torrents or the snow beats in in drifts." j That hands may be kept smooth in cold weather by avoiding the use of warm water. Wash them with cold water and soap. Do not be deceived by agents who j have a "superior furniture" polish for j sale. Use linseed oil, there is nothing better. That the best and most convenient j cover for a jelly tumbler is thin papei 1 fastened over the top of the glass by a ; rubber band. It is a good idea for a tall woman to have her kitchen table and ironing-board a little higher than ordinary. It will save many a backache. Use great care in serving food for the ' table, as the smallest spatter of grease or gravy changes the appearance and spoils . an otherwise pretty dish. That the best way to clear out and | straighten the fringe of towels, doilies, etc., ueiore ironing, is to comu it wuut-1 damp, with an inch length of coarsest! toilet comb. Glasses and dishes wipe to perfection when washed in very hot water. Use a dish mop, soap shaker and an iron-dish washer. These also expedite the labor, as very hot water can be used. A few years ago a fashionable table ! was so piled with high dishes that it was impossible to see one's vis-a-vis without | peeping under the heavily laden silver and glassware. Now a table is consid- j ered vulgar when not laid in a low, simple manner. That essence of nermermint. applied | with the finger tips over the seat of pain.

When decanters and carafes become so discolored inside that shot or fine coals will not cleanse them, fill the bottle with finely chopped potato skins, cork tightly : and let the bottle stand for three days, when the skins will ferment. Turn out and rinse. The bottle will be as bright and clean as when new. In canning tomatoes peel whole toma- 1 toes and crowd them into cans, pressing them down slowly. Put a board into the , bottom of a boiler and set the cans 011 the board. Fill the boiler with cold j water to half the height of the cans, lay- ; ing the tops of the cans on loosely, letting them remain until the water has boiled twenty minutes. Then remove the cans, and if they are not full fill with hot water and seal at once. A City of Refuge. Paris is fast becoming the headquarters of Socialists, Nihilists and malcontents in general from all parts of Europe, i After a long debate the Municipal Council of Geneva recently decided to avoid international imbroglios by expelling its colony of liussian refugees, and both Berne and Brussels have ceased to tolerate Anarchistic agitators, j London would offer hiding places for whole armies of demagogues if the dread of dynamite had not made the metropolitan police extra vigilant; but in Paris the next revolutionary conflagration will be favored with an enormous accumuJa- i tion of explosive elements.? Voice. ^ I * The Capital of Montenegro. Cettinje is the most extraordinary capital in Europe. It consists of one long street, with four smaller ones crossing it, and ending vaguely in the fields. The whole town covers perhaps thirty or forty acres. The principal building is the hotel, which worthily blocks the end of the main street. It is a1 bare and ricketty-looking structure, but represents the acme of luxury at Cettinje. The other public places are the prison, the church and the school. The first of these lies on the right-hand side, and in front of the gates, on a lawn, th? j prisoners amuse themselves by playinq various rude games?bowls, with pieces of rock for balls, leap-frog, and so on. A few of them are engaged in odd building jobs about Ccttinje, and others hew wood in the mountain. They are not Vbain^d, ?>;it -ippear seldom to dream of running away. v When a case of evasion happens, one or two fellovV-?CQrtvjfts,.ar< dispatched to catch the runaway ntfd bring him back. The theory of setting a thief to catch a thief is here practiced most literally and methodically. The only distinction between a " condemned convict and a free citizen is that the former is deprived of his arms. This is an equal degredation to the usual dress or brand elsewhere. Close to the hotel is the royal palace, a whitewashed house with green Venetian blinds, which is popularly supposed to have cost a milliou of francs, owing to the expenses of trans portating the materials. Over against it is a long, low, red building, known as the "Bigliardo." It received this# nickname from an English billiard table having been set up there. The carrying of this piece of furniture by fifty men over the mountain was considered?and undoubtedly was?a great feat. While the porters struggled manfully under the slate a pilot stood astride on high, and shouted his directions as to how to get round awkward corners. The "Big- i liardo" is now used as offices for the different Ministries and a Parliament house. The church is very small, capable of holding, perhaps, 150 people. On either side of the entrance are the tombs of Prince Danilo and his brother, Mirko Petrovitch, and in the chancel a sort of sarcophagus, which is opened on solemn occasions, containing the embalmed remains of the Bishop-Prince Peter I. The old monastery faces the palace. Fifty or sixty years ago this monastery and twenty or thirty cottages round it represented the town of Cettinje. Behind the monastery is the famous Tower of Skulls. In the old days no Montenegrin was entitled to be considered an able-bodied soldier until had decorated the tower with a Turkish dead. The last occasion on which it received its ghastly decorations was after the battle of Grahovo, which took place on the 13th of July, 1859. The Montenegrins lost 400 men and brought in 4000 skulls, at least so says tradition. The account is more or less confirmed by independent witnesses, one of whom, an Austrian officer, counted 2.'100 skeletons on the field several weeks alter tne xa- | moiis fight. The custom has, however, j now died out, having been abolished, together with most practices of u similar nature, by the Draconian code and inflexible rule of Dunilo I.?The Saturn day Review. ^ <v The World's Telegraph Lines and Telephones.
