& yns A Meal Grant Eijojed. An inpublished stoiy of General Grant was told yesterday at the Grand Pacific by Paul Gores: <lI was steward at the Palmer House," he said, "when the ex-President stopped there on his return from the tour of the world. One noon I was all but stupefied at seeing General Grant creep into tne kitchen door, as though escaped from some one. 4I am sorry to trouble you,' he said, as though asking a great favor, 'but may I have a little corned beef and cabbage?' 4Why, certainly,' I replied. 'But shall I not send it to you out in the dining room?' 'No,'he answered, 'I'll eat it right here, if you let me sit down at this table.' So I cleared away a place on the rough board table, where the cook had been fixing the meat, drew up a stool and the way he got away with that corned beef and cabbage*" made my eyes bulce. When b' had finished he laid down his knife and fori* and with a funny sigh of satisfi ctioa, put one hand on my shoulder and said, 'Young man, I suppose you don't care for that at all, but if you had had to eat what I have for the past few months it would taste like a dinner for the gods.' The poor old fellow bad dined with everybody from the Queen down, and that cabbage in my kitchen did him more good than all the rest i together."?Ohicaco News. ?O c Gruesome Souvenirs. "A remarkable tribe of Indians are the Napos, who live in the northern part of | Chile. Instead of wearing scalps at their belts as tropies, like the American savages, the heads of their enemies dangle at their girdles. By a mysterious process known only to themselves, they remove all the facial and cranium bones without cutting the skin or destroying the interior. Then the head is then reduced, without maiming any of the features, to the size of a man's fist."? Pittsburg Dispatch. As a Drowning Man Clutches lit a Straw So Mr. Powell Took Hood's Sarsaparilia And.lt Rescued Uim From Danger "A year ago I was in very bad condition. I run down to 1'.'5 lbs. The trouble was dyspepsia in its worst form, accompanied by Nervous Prostration 11 could not eat, I could not sleep, and at times 1 could scarcely move my hands. I felt that unless 1 could get relief soon that I should sorely die. I at length concluded to try Hood's Sarsaparilia, for Like a Drowning Man I could catch at a straw. When I began taking It my face and hands were covered with sores, which are all gone. After I had been taking it s couple of weeks I could not deny that I felt better.

Davis & Hatch, New Bedford, Mass. i I | ' s. *; : A CONVENIENT VELVET BODICE. A velvet bodice, made slightly open at the throat, with velvet sleeves also slightly open, is a most useful addition to a woman's wardrobe. Net or lace sleeves set in full below the velvet sleeve can be changed at will to match vanous styles and tints of neckdressiog. Lace or folds of chiffon or net are lightly arranged to outline the opening of the throat. Crossed folds of crepe de chine can also be used to raise the bodice front to any desired height, while the dressy appearance of the V outline yet remiins. ?St. Louis Republic. LITTLE FOLKS' FABHIONB. Children's cambric dresses are made in simple styles which m$y be easily laundried. A little more embroidery is used than last season. Very frequently a full ruffle of the dress material, about four inches deep finishes the neck of blouse dresses. Black velvet sashes of ribbon about two inches wide are used on small children's dresses, and they often begin on the shoulder, go down to the waist line, where they cross directly in front and pass around to the back where they are tied in a bow, with ends.?Atlanta (Ga.) Journal. WHAT AN ENERGETIC WOMAN DOES. Mrs. Jane Fraseur Safley, of Tama County, Iowa,is the owner of 1040 acres of fine prairie land and does her own farming. She sold $5000 worth of fat cattle,$1205 worth of fat hogs and $450 worth of horses last year. About 800 acres of her land is in grass, the balance in oats and corn. Mrs. Safley has attended every school election in her subdistrict for twelve years, and, while refusing to be elected director, has universally voted for director and, according to the Tipton Advertiser, secured the best man for said office. The same teacher has taught her school for eight consecutive terms. Mrs. Safley's only son, Fred, is a graduate from Cornell. NEW GOODS FOR REAL SUMMER. The new goods for real summer are exquisite in coloring, design and texture, and Parisian is stamped upon their every detail. Everything is shot or shaded or patterned in some indescribable way, crepon taking the lead perhaps. Among these one is dice patterned in straw color and black, another in old rose and black, which is both novel and striking. Another rather curious material is of olive green patterned with heliotrope, with a woven border of black ribbon, which is everywhere outlined with jet. It is prettily made up with short zouave fronts to the bodice, while the underbodice and sleeves are of olive green bengaline. ? Frank Leslie's Weekly. ODD IDEAS 07 DRESS. The Ruthenian woman of Poland has some odd ideas of dress. The material is usually of coarse linen. Her gown, which is in reality her chemise, is open from neck to knees, and is belted in loose folds about the waist. Another curious and distinguishing article of dress is her woolen apron. She is never without this, but it is worn behind, never in front. She has no stockings or other garments, but her feet are shod like her , husband's?with pointed and laced moc- . cadns. Her head in winter and summer is always bound in a gaudy handkerchief^ but she possesses no other article of cloth ?n Bknan.1nn AAfti 1UJJ WliatCVCI, a ougcpoaiu wab for winter use. What she lacks next skin she makes up in ornamentation. I have counted, writes Edgar L. Wakeman, more than a score of brass rings on the fingers of her two hands. Her earrings uf hollow brass would hold enough oil to light the family fireside for an evening, and her necklace of glass or imitation coral beads, coiled a half dozen times about her by no means charming neck, is always yards in length.?New York Press. can't read a newspaper. Queen Victoria isn't allowed to handle a newspaper of any kind, or a magazine, or a letter from any person except from her own family, ana no member ot the royal family or household is allowed to speak to her of any piece of news in any publication. All the information the Queen is permitted to have must first be strained through the intellect of a man whose business is to cut out from the papers each day what he thinks she would like to know. ( These scraps he fastens on a silk sheet, with a gold fringe all about it, and ( presents it to her unfortunate Majesty. 1 The silken sheet with gold fringe is , imperative for all communications to the Queen. Any one who wishes to send the Queen J a personal poem or a communication of any kind (except a personal letter, which ' the poor lady isn't allowed to have at all) must have it printed in gilt letters on j one of these silk sheets with a gold fringe, just so manj inches wide and no wider, all about it. 1 These gold trimmings will be re- ' turned to him in time as they are expen- 1 eive, and the Queen is kindly and 1 CQ1 lily, UUl lur iuc v^uecu o prcicuuc tbey are imperative.?Fashion Bizar. ABSURD HEAD-DRESS. Stewart, the great hairdresser, says: 'At no period in the history of the world was anything more absurd in head-drsss worn than at the close of the Eighteenth Century. The body of these monuments of ugliness was formed of tow, over rhich the hair was turned and false hair added in tfreat curls, bobs and ties, and powdered to profusion, then hung all over with vulgarly large rows ot pearls or glass beads, fit only to decorate a chandelier. Flowers as obtrusive were stuck about this heap of finery, which was surmounted by broad silken bands and great ostrich feathers, until the headdress of a lady added three feet to her stature." Imagine the discomfiture of people who attended the play and wished to view the stage! Three feet of finery hidiDg from eight the very thing oue came to see. In this era of tiny theatre bonnets tne picture arawn oy tne iaraous Stewart reduces to a minimum the in. consideration on the part of our women of to-day who but yesterday, or quite recently, wore the broad flaring street hat to the theatre and expected the people sitting behind to dodge about Jn order to catch an occasional glimpse of the play and suffer from a crick in their necks for days thereafter.?New York Commercial Advertiser. WOMEN AS DOCTORS. The world moves. Until a generation ago a woman doctor was hardly known within the circle of the regular medical profession, and they were looked upon in every community as charlatans or crtnks. The prejudice against them entering the medical profession was almost universal, and strange as it may seem the prejudice of women against their own sex in a profession for which they should be specially fitted and in which they are specially needed, was even more profound than the same prejudice among the sterner sex. Bat steadily, though slowly, public sentiment has advanced to accord to women the obvious just right of entering any of the professions, and women now practice both law and medicine in every section of the country. The progress of the age in advancing women to their just rights in the battle of life was impressively illustrated in the Academy of Music during the last week, when forty-two young women appeared upon the stage as graduates of the Woman's Medical College, of this city, with their fairly won titles of Doctors of Medicine. It iB gratifying to know that this college has been in existence Lor forty years, but it ia only within the last score of years thot it has been able to present anything approaching a graduating class respectable in numbers. Now women practitioners are not only known but respected in almost every community, and the success they have attained in the profession more than justifies the great battle that was fought to win for them open doors to distinction in the profes- I sion. It will seem strange to the readers of history half a century hence to learn that women were excluded from the professions of the country until even after the noon-tide of the Nineteenth Century,for there is little reason to doubt that in much less than half a century women physicians will fairly divide the medical practice with their professional brethem, and men physicians, in the many cases in which every consideration of delicacy should prefer a women physician, will be quite as uncommon as women were rpnpratinns a?m.?Pniladelohia Times. ? ?0 ? i FASHION NOTES. For skirt and blazer white pique is a preferred fabric. Yachting suits of burnt sienna are considered very natty. Curded challies sprinkled with flowers are a summer novelty. All white costumes are to be more popular this season than ever. Field thistles nod from the top of the most fashionable chapeaux. Fine cloth with close upstanding cords of contrasting color is much seen in the Bhops. Mantles are made in the visite form, and are of fine cloth in light brown, electric blue or terra cotta. Hats are a mass of flowers these days, and the art of imitating nature is fruitful of most charming results. Short sleeves have again returned for dinner and theatre toilettes. Sometimes lace is ruffled at |be top of the gloves, and often gold bracelets set with precious stones are worn on the arms. One of the most distinguished and stylish costumes of the season is a lustrous black silk gown,jet trimmed, with tan parasol, tan suede gloves and tancolored velvet *'calf leather" shoes. A tea gown recently seen was of old rose bengaline, trimmed elaborately with embroidery, the front made loose, the back en Watteau, a full frill about the throat and point lace edging the sleeves. The Eton jacket has been sadly abused hv foreigners in its makeuD. Some ~~j o * times a garment is called that when it has long coattails, whereas the veritable "Eton" should not come below the waist. A pretty tea gown recently worn wa9 of heliotrope crepon, made with a close , fitting coat back, opening over a front of yellow trimmed with gold and pearls, the sleeves pendant, with ruffled undersleeves. # A Russian coat to be worn for traveling is made of green cloth, drawn into the waist with a leather belt, the sleeves ending in a band at the wrist, and embroidered like the collar, in blue, yellow md red, lanje buttons and loop9 of yellow fastening it down the front. Fur is as much used on evening iresses as in midwinter, and especially on the new changeable velvets. A hem of fur borders the skirt and defines the neck and 6leeves. Chinchilla, otter, blue fox and black fox are the furs used. {Neimer no wens uumuuuuj way m num, but a bertha of lace frequently falls below the fur. The outside of some of the new pocketbooks represents more value than the inBide. White ivory and white kid with silver or gold mountings, gray suede with a covering of woven steel, and lizird skin in dull green with gold filigree decoration are among the novelties. Heart-shaped purses are newest, and in every case the purses must match the costume. SatiD,it is said,i9 one of the "coming" materials. Black satin hats and bonnets, wraps and gowns are decidedly fashionable abroad. At the same time they are extremely trying, and to many women exceeding unbecoming. There is a hardness about black satin which can be comprehended only by a profusion of rich jet trimmings, lace, passementerie, chitloa or something similar. ' HOUSEHOLD MATTERS. i HAKDY TO HAVE ABOUT THE HOUSE. Few people realize the value of salt. ? It can be used in many ways about the house and is indispensable as a medicine. A little salt rubbed on cups will tjikfi off tea stains. If out in whitewash it will make it stick better. "Used as a tooth powder it will keep the teeth white and the gums hard and rosy. Salt and water is one of the best gargles for sore throat and is a preventive of diphtheria if taken in time. Salt and water will clean willow furniture, if applied with a brush and then rubbed dry. If held in the mouth after having a tooth extracted it will stop the bleeding. Calico and all prints will hold their color and look brighter if rinsed in salt water. Silk handkerchiefs and ribbons should be washed in salt water and ironed while wet, to obtain the best results.?Danville (Canada) Gazette. A GOOD PREPARED MUSTARD. Use four tablespoonfuls of the best English mustard, two tablespoonfuls of salad oil, two teaspoonfule of white sugar, two teaspoonfuls of salt, one teaspoonful of white pepper, one small garlic irfinced very fine, and vinegar to mix to smooth paste. Put the mustard into a bowl and add the oil, rubbing it - ? "Tnn/lon tnnnn linfcll it is all ab iu miu a nvuuvu D^/WM ?? ? ? eorbed.

It will be well mixed and ready for use in a couple of days.?St. Louis Star-Sayings. WASHING LAMP CHIMNEYS. Where lamps are used exclusively for lighting a house, lamp chimneys are quite an item of expense, and any hint on how to prevent their breakage will be welcome to all who have been troubled in that way. I have seen two or three in succession broken in one evening, in what was then to me the most unaccountable way. Our lamp merchant said; 'Don't wash your chimneys, but wipe them clean with dry cloths." That set me thinking. It is the damp then that dnea if T wild tn myself. Whv should that be? By a course of reasoning I came to the conclusion that if the chimneys absorb moisture and are damp in anywise when lighted, steam is soon generated in the pores, and we all know what steam does, an explosion occurs. That is why the chimneys fly so when they break. If you must wash them, dry them thoroughly in the sun or n<jar the stove or furnace before using. Chimneys kept in the kitchen get damp on washdays, and should be wiped before usini*.?Brooklyn Citizen. N CLEAN8ING BLANKETS. There are numerous variations in the methods employed for the cleansing of Klonb-Afo the firaf. fcn rfa<w>rihed heincr v,.uu?*,vw, o by the use of ammonia. When the blankets are ready for washing, pour into the bottom of the dry tub half a pint of the usual household ammonia water, and over it lay the blanket lightly. Then immediately pour over sufficient warm water to entirely cover the article. This sends the fumes of the ammonia through the fibres of the blanket and loosens the dirt in a wonderful manner. The cloth should be pressed and stirred about in the liquid lor a time, then remove to another tub containing simply warm water, of about the same temperature as that first employed, and again soused about for a time; after which it is to be lightly run through a wringer and directly hung to dry. The same method of treatment is to be pursued with each blanket, and the suds are not to be used a second time. Probably this is one of the most economical methods which can be employed, and the least taxing to the physical strength. Unless the blanket is very dirty, one treatment will give a perfectly satisfactory result. If there are spots a gentle rubbing between the hands will usually free them from dirt.?New York Recorder. HOW TO BEBVE A8PARAOCS. Few vegetables can be served in more ways than asparagus, and some of the nice dishes that can be prepared of it are civen bv the Housekeepers' Weekly. For Boiled Asparagus?Tie a bunch and plunge in boiling salt water. When tender, which will be in from twenty minutes to half an hour, remove from the water, drain and untie the bundles.

Dip each piece in a fritter batter aod fry. Eat very hot with butter aod salt. Asparagus Salad?Boil until tender. Let it become perfectly cold. Then add a prepared salad dressing and serve at once. Or, mix the asparagus with a French dressing made of three tablespoonfuls of oil, one of vinegar, a little salt and pepper. If this dressing is used th?? nnlnri ahmilri hp nlnr-ed on the ire for one or two hours before using. Asparagus With Cream Dressing?Put a cup cf milk in a double boiler. "When it reaches the boiling point add a tablespoonful of flour and a teaspoonful of butter, which have been thoroughly rubbed together. Wheu the milk boils again add a bunch of boiled asparagus, salt and pepper tc taste, and cook from hve to ten miuutes. Sauce for Asparagus?A white sauce for asparagus may also be made from the following rule: Boil a pint of milk, add a piece of butter the size of an egg, salt to taste, and flour (about two tablespoonfuls) which has been mixed smooth with a little cold milk. Season with grated nutmeg. Asparagus Soup?Boil a bunch of asparagus and half of a small onion in a nint nf urKifo otnnlr When fhooanaramiQ is tender rub through a strainer, add a cup of hot milk, butter, salt and pepper to taste. Asparagus Omelet?Mnke a plain omelet, and when ready to fold add the heads of a bunch of asparagus which have beeu boiled tender. ' Milk as a tierm Destroyer. Unexpected results have been obtained in experiments by Dr. Freudenreich. The cholera bactllus died in an hour when nut into fresh cow's milk, and in five hours in fresh goats milk; the bac* illus of typhoid fever, hcr-^ar. surviving twenty four hours in cow's milk, but only five hours in goat's milk. Other microbes were destroyed in varying periods. Instead of being purified by boiling, the milk had lost its power to kill microbes. The bactericidal properties also weakened with age, disappearing completely in four or five days.? Trenton (N. J.) American. There is more catarrn in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years wm supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it facurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
