The first recorded ease of a woman holding an important office is Isabella de Clifford, who acted as Sheriff of Westmoreland County, England, in the thirteenth century, and sat upon the bench with the judges, and signed the official papers of her position. At various times since women have acted as marshals, great chamberlains, constables, jailers and foresters.?Chicago Herald. A DAINTY TRINKET, o 1?,i? ? ????

The status of female medical practitioners, about which there has been so much trouble and discussion, has now been definitely and legally as well as very >ensibly settled by a decree just published b the Official Gazette of Russia. Lady doctors may now practice freely in all barts of the empire and will wear a certain decoration denoting their profession. They acquire the special right of practicing in all institutions and gymnasia end schools for young ladies and in all benevolent establishments for women. They also have the privilege of practicing in hospitals, dispensaries and ambulances belonging to the Zemstvos, and are exemDt from the obligation imposed by law upon their male colleagues of attending !when called upon as experts in criminal "trials.?Chicago Post. BLONDES OUT OF FASHION. , Blonde hair is going out of fashion, and fashion changes almost as regularly as the time, the wind and the weather. The troupe of blondes one used to meet on Broadway any fine afternoon in the week seems to be hibernating. The chief difficulty seems to have been the bad effects of the dye, and the difficulty in many cases appears to have been disastrous. Those whose taste for blonde .beauty is incurably inactive are likely to have a bad turn of it this winter. Dark beauties are to have their turn. Henceforward no vapid young woman, with any pretence to style, will affect anything but the blackest of locks. I hear that the craze for blonde hair has reached the ladies of China and Japan. Bales of it are being shipped to them every week from Europe. The Yum-Yumsof Pekin and Tokio despise dye. They want the real article. After all, natural hair is the best.?-New York Telegram. NEW WAT OF BLUSHING. Have you heard of the new way of blushing? asks Madge in London Truth. Rome coloring matter of a deeo carmine , o * f tint is put into the cheeks by means of a Bmall hypodermic syringe, and the bloom thus imparted is saic1 to remain for hours. The lady who is said to have used it is described as having a complexion of a sallow, greenish hue. This could not possibly have been pleasing. After the injection of the carmine liquid under the skin of her cheeks, she became "radiantly ; beautiful, her great splendid eyes shining like stars." There is no rose without a thorn, however, and the sharp point of ;the syringe makes an ugly little scar on the cheek. As it has to be inserted in a fresh place each time, it is impossible to adopt this mode of blushing very often. Besides, it hurts to make a hole in the 6kin, and there are, in addition, dark rumors of a misguided being who unskilfully inserted her blush, so that it collected all in one spot, ajd looked very hideous. The fluid costs $10 a bottle. ;An Expensive kind of blush, don't you think? Your dress allowance or mine would not run to it very often, would it? ' A NOVEL AM) BECOMING POLONAISE. The fashion contributor to London Truth has seen a novel and becoming polonaise upon a remarkably handsome woman, of which garment she says: 4'It was in black crepe de chine and fitted perfectly in front, upon a splendid figure. Just below the waist, upon the hips, a few panier-like folds appeared and car-! ried the eye around to the back, where these side folds curved upward to the neck, though only in the very center, leaving the arms perfectly free and showm ing some fine jet trimming around the sleeves. From the neck the polonaise fell in folds straight to the ground; and, as you may have gathered from my description, the whole garment was in one. But, oh! the subtle art needed to make it fit as it did! The folds at the back disappeared under a high collar, also edged with a band of jet. A much narrower tr:mming of the same bordered the skirt of the polonaise. The latter opened in front, at the cud of the basque, displaying an undcrdress of black silk, with whole rivers of finely cut jet covering the front. The sleeves were of black silk, 6lightly puffed, and gathered at the elbow into long cuffs covered with bands of jet running around the arm,not lengthwise." ' A DRESS FOR A PRINCESS. A Japanese princess has ordered a court dress from Boston, and it has started on its journey. The order for a gown "for Mrs. Kentaro Keneko" was given a fortnight ago by Mrs. Fenel<lossa. y It is for a very little lady; the length of the skirt in front is thirty-four inches, and the waist measures only twenty inches. The skirt is of ivory satin cloth of gold; the design, the rising run in the gold, and in the white, the peony. Set into the skirt on either side are three vertical folds of mandarin yellow satin, each headed with a bunch of yellow ostrich tips. The heavy white satin train attached measures three yards, and there is an exquisite white satin bodice to be worn with this, laced up the back with white ribbon. It has low neck and short sleeves, finished with antique den telles, and the bodice is edged with narrow gold passementerie. The robe, in this form, is to be worn St court receptions, but in the throne room itself the princess will wear another bodice and a more magnificent train with the cloth of gold skirt. This train and . bodice are of a brocade of pale green satin?with too much of white to be exactly Nile green, but nearly that shade? the flowers, big tea roses and clusters of moss buds. The bodice of this is also edged with the gold i^asscmenterie.? Philadelphia Frets. .HINTS FOR HOME DRESSMAKERS. Skirts of walking dresses are still cut walking length, that is, just escaping the ground. Esuecially is this ntffcessary for ' * ~rr-^ _e IV. ?1 1 u:x j tne proper euecc ui uiu circiu ui uttuju i skirt, which is especially ungraceful when clutched in the back to raise it from the sidewalk, or even when shortened by tapes. There are various devices and arrangements of tapes for shortening the skirts ot dresses intended for both house and street wear, but the makeshift is always evident, and betrays the necessity for economy. A short skirt can be worn in the house with perfect propriety ou any occasion; but a skirt resting upon or ^yen touching the ground is entirely out of place on the street, excepting in passing to or from a carriage; hence those versed in less convenances, even though a longer skirt may be more becoming, have their walking costumes made walking length. With the clinging skirt, the perfect fit of the foundation skirt is absolutely essential, and it requires as careful fitting as the waist. Always guard against having the front drawn too closely, by holding it full in mounting to the belt; and try it sitting as well as standing before adding the drapery. Fit over the hips by taking out small gores rather than by laying plaits, if a very smooth fit be necessary. A favorite finish for the bottom of the skirt, instead of braid, and much more durable, is a velvet-covered cord or a narrow piping of velvet or velveteen set in between the outside and the inner facing. A good plan is to make two slashes in the bottom of the front, about two and a half inches deep, and where the feet touch the skirt in walking. Thia trive9 more ease, and the friction on the shoes is reduced. All bodices are cut to give a slender long-waisted effect, and to this end sideform seams are straighter and reach almost and sometimes quite to the shoulder-seams. For the same purpose the back searfts of the side gores are placed as far back as the figure will allow, which gives roundness to a flat figure, and makes the waist appear more slender. Shoulder seams reach only to the tips of the shoulders, and are made to appear even shorter by having the fullness of the sleeves caught up over them. For street wear the moderately high, straight standing collar is worn, but modifications of the Medici collar are most fashionable; for house-dresses, collars more or less flaring are almost universal, although a high, straight collar edged with a narrow puff of white or a color is still considered stylish. A frill of lace falling over the hand is a favorite and very becoming fiuish for the bottom of the sleeve for a house-dress; or the wrists and collar are finished with a velvet-colored cord, or one of silver or gilt. ?Demonst. FASHION NOTE9. Astrakhan and beaver are fashionable furs. Large fur muffs are once again to be wuru. Large repped gros-graia ia black is coming in again. Black velvet sleeves are stylish -with bengaline toilettes. Yokes, girders and cufis of fine jet are used on silk dresses. For a black silk dress select faille, Bengaline or armure. Every woman should have a black woolen and a black silk gown. Fur capes are longer this season and gathered high at the shoulders. Gay tartan silk shirt waists are worn with dark skirts of various kinds. The Phrygian cap is made the basis of some of the newest and most chic French bonnets. Pink, mauve and yellow brocades are used as narrow vests and panels on black silk gowns. Black lace dresses for house wear are trimmed with the gold and jeweled passementerie. Black beugaline sleeves and back widths are seen, with the rest of the dress of faille.

Sealskin jackets of the latest fancy have sleeves of cloth with applications of suede skin stitched on. A new trimming is a pointed-shaped belt of black passementerie, from which falls a fringe of drops. A new departure announces black lace to be made over black grounds brocaded with light figures. Medici collars are cut much smaller than they were last season, and christened anew as "cherusques." Jet and turquoise passementerie is charming on a black silk costume, also the turquoise and gold trimming. Leather trimmings studded with steel or gilt will be worn on -winter garments, 1 and entire leather jackets may appear. Miniature portraits, rimmed with jewels and hung around the neck, are going to be popular with women this winter. Lace, ornamented with mnning-vine patterns of artificial turquoise and rubies, is one of the latest styles of imported dress goods. The most fashionable notepnper foi | this season is so rough that it requires | considerable devotion to "toe correci i thiDg" to write on it at alt.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS. HOW TO COOK MEAT. The best methods of cooking meat are cot practiced in ordinary kitchens because the reasons for certain procedures are not understood. For instance, a piece of meat is put over the fire , and boiled rapidly till it is considered done, when it should have been subjected to only very moderate heat, and the water, inpf rto.l r\ f hnilinrr mnrllv cVinvilrl VlflVA O.A.14U. "'"-VI merely simmered, because the first process makes it tough and stringy, while the second leaves it tender and palatable. Joints of fresh meat require from twenty to twenty-five minutes per pound. Salted meat should have nearly twice as long cooking or it will not be tender. Judgement must be used regardingthesize and shape. A large, flat piece of beef, having more surface exposed to the heat, will take less time to cook than a leg of mutton of the same size. There is a belief among housekeepers that, in boiling, meat loses much of its value. On the contrary, careful experiment shows that a sirloin of beef, weighing twelve pounds, lost in roasting fortyfour ounces, while twelve pounds of beef lost only twenty-five ounces in boiling. The loss sustained in boiling, being capable of use as soup, can hardly be called i loss. It is therefore proved without Krtilinr* 10 fllO TtlArfl 0/*nnrt lyunicm buau mical. But it can not be deuied that tho flavor of roast meat is far superior. To be perfect it should be roasted before an open fire with frequent basting and turning, but such cooking borders on the impossible and we have a good resource in careful baking. The oven should be very hot and the beef put in without water in the pan. In ten or fifteen minutes the heat will have slightly crusted the beef, which should then be basted with clear drippings every ten minutes. The object of thus quickly searing the beef is to prevent the escape of the juices. If nine minutes to the pound be allowed, the resultwill be a very good imitation of juicy, rare, real roasted beef. Broiling is one of the simplest and most wholesome methods of cooking meat, but it requires care. The want of constant watchfulness ruins steak, fish, or whatever is on the broiler. Frying is a method worthy of more respect than public opiaion grants it. It is the abuse of the practice which has brought it into disgrace. Throwing a lump of cold fat upon a cold frying pan and putting the meat on that, the careless cook leaves it to work out its own destruction, which it surely does, for as the meat and fat heat together the former is thoroughly soaked by the latter and becomes sodden, unsavory and unwholesome. Frying as it should be is actually boiling in fat, and it is impossible to fry properly without a large quantity of fat, be it lard or drippings, and it should be very hot before anything is put into it. To test the temperature a bit of bread should be thrown in. If ic crisps instantly the heat is right, but if the bread scorches, the fat is too hot and the pan must be lifted to a cooler place. If the bread docs not brown the fat is not hot enough. There i3 no extravagance in using a large quantity of fat, for it can be poured into a bowl and used again and again. Clarify it, when necessary, by j boiling it up in water, then let it cool, when the sediment will fall to to the bottom of the water and the fat rise on top. If in boiling and roasting meats every scrap of dripping that runs out is saved, the accumulation will, in most families, afford abundant supply in frying in the manner described. Poultry should be put into the pot breast downward, with warm, not hot, water enough to cover it, and be brought very gradually to the boiling point, and then allowed to simmer steadily till a trial of their joints shows that they are done. No rule can be given for the time required, for young fowls will take less time than old ones.?American Agriculturist. POTATO RECIPES.

Potatoes as a Garnish?These are cut ' into tiny balls, by means of a scoop coming for the purpose, and boiled in saltwater; with chopped parsley and melted butter poured over them, they form ac excellent garnish for fish.

The French have attained the greatest excellence in this industry. From a small fish called the bleak the scales are scraped, washed and pressed between folds of linen cloth of fine texture. A fluid then slowly trickles from them, and when it has been filtered oficu enough to attain the requisite degree of purity is mixed with an alkaline substance to arrest the decay of animal matter. This is the precious "Essence d'Orient," to produce a pound of which several thousand of the fi3h are required. nv?? nf A UU UUUitlUU U1 a Oiiiau ljuuiiViij VI I isinglass completes the preparation of the I fluid for use. The essence is now injr ed into hollow spheres of colorless glass until it covers the surface of the interior. Instantly the glass bead is transformed into an admirable imitation of a pearl. In fact, the counterfeit is so perfect that it can only be detected by weight. The Italians also make artificial pearls, but in an entirely different way. They insert skillfully colored varnished into glass beads, r.nd also cover porcelain spheres with a cement made from finelypowdered mother-of-pearl. These imitations are pretty ornaments, but do not make any pretense of competing with the genuine article.?New York Neict. Queer Postofflce Names.

Artificial Diamonds. Diamonds cannot be attacked by any chemical substance whatever, being almost pure carbon. This fact has induced many persons to try and crystalize carbon so as to obtain a precious gem out of it, and they have partly succeeded, but while these artificial diamonds possess a brilliancy and transparency worthy of comparison with those of the real thing they arc microscopic, very small, and always colored. Perhaps they would resemble real diamonds more could they be made larger and quite colorless. As now manufactuied they are not of the slightest value to commerce. There cannot be any serious doubts as to the possibility of producing diamonds artificially, but up to the present no really practical means have been found in making them respond to the necessities of trade | in the two continents.?

Two of these are in California and one in Nebraska, at Grand Island. The latter is a model factory, backed by ample capital, equipped with all facilities for prosecution of beet sugar manufacture as developed in the beet sugar countries of Europe. This season it has contracts with some 600 farmers within 100 miles of the factory. Railroads make favorable rates for delivery of the most distant culture. This season exceptionally unfavorable weather has somewhat reduced the quantity of beet roots expected, but tne supply will be ample to make a thorough test of th2 possibilities of successful beet sugar production in Nebraska. The analysis of the beets thus far received indicate a high standard of sugar contents, every load of beets delivered beincr samoled out and tested. A fixed \ ^ A .price is paid for a certain minimum standard, and the price varies from the minimum upward. Our Government consider the experiment of beet raising of such importance to the farmers of the entire country, that Secretary Rusk, of the Department of Agriculture, who has visited Grand Island, has detailed a chemist from his department to remain at Grand Island during the season of sugar making, and to prepare carefully, for the use of the department, all the data available in relation to the work, from the growing of the beets to the final marketing of the sugar.?New Orleans Picayune.
