"7 FIRST WOMAN OFFICE HOLDER.
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.

the belief that gossamer lace had been

fringe of this fairy-like wind wooer reminds
one of silken threads floating out
from baby's golden crown. It should
be in the hand of the proud young mother
who in a plain gold ring had "set" as
priceless gems, four pearl-like baby
teeth.?Ladies' Home Companion.
FEMALE PHYSICIAK8 IX RUSSIA.
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.?

.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.

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.

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. When used
to garnish roast beef or veal, they are
boiled to a delicate brown in fat or lard.
The remnants of the potato -which resull
from the cutting of these balls are boiled
separately, mashed and reserved for croquettes.
Potatoes when properly warmed ovei

Artificial Pearls.
Considerable ingenuity has been exercised
in the manufacture of artificial
pearls. 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.

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.

"Big Foot" is a postoffice in Indiana,
"Pig" in Kentucky, "Skull Bone" and
"Mouse Tail" in Tennessee, "Buzzard's

South Carolina. "Number One" is a
Maine postofflce and Vermont has a
"Bread Loaf." In New York we have
"Promised Land," a "Painted Post,"
"Good Ground" and "Half Moon."Pennsylvania
might have selected better
sounding names than "Bird-in-IIand,"
"Bean," "Bald Eagle," "Burning Bush."
"Darling," "Good Interest," and "Gum

while "Old Hundred" and "Alone" are
in Virginia. West Virginia boasts a
"Left Hand" and North Carolina the
grace of "Charity," blessing of "Prosperity"
and "Forks of Pigeon." Georgia
has a "Dirt Town" and has "Alligator,"
"Fish" and "Cold Water." "Pay Up"

in Florida. I'll wager you never heard

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.? Chicago Herald.

Beet Su^ar iu America.
There are at the present time but
three beet sugar houses in America. 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

Blnck Walnut.
Black walnut is rapidly becoming exhausted
and there seems to be nothing in
this country to take its place. No other
tree is so valuable. It grows rapidly, will
thrive in any soil, and is very hardy, requiring
very little care, because no animal
and but one insect feed upon it. It {j
has a value but little known, which is ?
that the European, or "French walnut" c
as it is called, grows firmly on it, and is n
easily grafted. It can, in that way, be r
made to yield a fortune if cultivated on 0
a large scale. In twenty, years it will Jj
mofe tnan pay an expenses auu unciwi, 1
and in fifty years the trees would worth 3
at least $40,000 an acre.?The Ledqer.

In a climate such as ours a pain reliever possessinzreal
merit is truly indispensable; the

A lew applications immediately of Dr. Tobias's
Venetian Liniment acts like magic ior I
aches and pains of any sort. Thj possession |_
of it in homes leaves but a narrow margin for
doctors' bills, which often make such inroads
npon the slender purses of those in moderate r
circumstances. p
