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

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. "When |

/distinctive of social status is the long, i
r"W sweeping robe, trailing often a length of j
several feet, and whose length affords a j
sure guide to the rank of the wearer, for {
the higher the social caste of these ladies,

Women of *!1 classes go about with |
neither hat nor bonnet, although in the j
winter, when snow fills the air, and the i
cold is intense, they wear the daintiest J

all sides, and fastens under the chin like i

, pass bareheaded up and down the clean
bright streets of the capital, made;
bright with blossoming plum and almond

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, ;

i In the good old times the ladies even '
"-^'Wore short swords, analogous to the'
larger ones worn by the gentlemen, j

like mere gaudiness in color is eschewed j
by the fine sense of the Japanese as meretricious

may be instructive to the western women

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

A GOOD RECIPE FOR STARCH.
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

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.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Does everybody know that the best |
covering for a poultice or a mustard pastt ;

Clothes that have been sprinkled will i
not mildew for days, even in summer, if i

That hands may be kept smooth in

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 |

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

Two or three weeks of judicious management
now to assist the pullets in forming
their first crop of eggs, so to speak, will make
a vast difference in the product of eggs during
the next four months. A few dollars

to you many fold increase in eggs. Mr. E.
R. Stuart, of Lancaster, N. H., says: "I had
twelve fine Plymouth Rock pullets. The
early hatched ones commenced laying in the
fall; when cold weather came on they
stopped laying, while the rest had not begun
to lay. I then commenced using Sheridan's
Powder, advertised to make hens lay. In
ten days one pullet commenced to lav, in
fourteen days three more began, and in just
one month from the time I began using the
Sheridan's Powder, the twelve were laying."

the world is saiJ to be the National Museum
recently completed at Turin, in
Italy. It was originaliv designed for a
synagogue, but it proved iii adapted to
that purpose, and was sold to the city.
It was then converted into a museum as
a monument to the memory of Victor
Emanuel. On top of the iome rises a
spire nearly as high as the whole of the
rest of the building. The gilt statue on
the top of this spire stands 538 feet from
the ground.
Card of Thanks.
If the p- oprietor of Kemp's Balsam should
publish a card of thanks, containing expressions
of gratitude which come to him daily,
from those who have been cured of severe
throat and lung troubles by the use of Kemp's
Balsam, it would till a fair-sized book. How
much better to invite all to call on any druggist
and get a free sample bottle that you may
test for yourself its power. Large b ttles 50c.
and $1.
