If you wish them to make good wives. Silly mbthers make bad instruct-resses of their daughters, and there are few things more deplorable than the bride, who on settling down in her new home is utterly helpless either to manage her l ““ ser- vants. Then arise the first sig " _. _ ,f‘n- tent on the part. of the husband, who natur- ally has a. very good right, to expect the girl he marries is fit for the position she has undertaken.

Several kinds of cc-oked vegetablesâ€"peas, beets, carrots, asparagusâ€" éfa. mixed, the large ones being first on: into dice, and stirred lightly with the eggs after they are beaten.

Pound the yolks of four hard-boiled eggs with a piece of butter the size of a. walnut, a. pinch of pepper, salt, and curry powder. Divide into sxx portions and shape‘ into round cakes or pats about the size of a twenty-five-cent piece, but thicker. In the centre of each stand an olive, and serve garnished with water cress. To add to the flavor of the dish the olives may be prepar- ed as follows : Remove the stones and fill with a. bit of. pounded anchovy, putting a. caper on the top. Half an hour before they will be required stand them in a small dish i and cover with salad oil mixed with a little ‘ lemon juice. Let them drain a. moment on paper before they are put on the egg pats. If the stoned olives are used this marinading is an improvement. These egg balls make an appetizing luncheon course, sent round with toast in golden-brown slices and but- ter. ‘ Eggs in cups. â€"Butter some small chma. cups, and sprinkle them with chopped parsley. Pub in each a teaspocnful of browned butter and a little chopped mush- room. Break inva. fresh egg, sprinkle with more mushroom, and a. trifle more of the. browned butter, and cook in the oven or on the range until done. Butter may be browned by putting a piece the size ofa large walnut in a. clean skillet and letting it heat till it takes on a. brown color. A dash of lemon juice preserves it, and it may be used as required. ' The secret of scrambled eggs is not to beat them before cooking, to have a. hot skillet, and to take them off while they are yet very soft ; they cook a half minute after they are taken off, which many cooks do not allow for. A dash of lemon juice just as they are going to the table in a hot dish is an addition. - Stuffed eggs with sardines is an appetiz- ing luncheon dish. Boil three eggs till hard, shell them, cut in halves, and remove the yolks carefully ; put them in a mortar with three or four sardines drained from the oil, skinned, and the centre bones removed, a little butter and a dustpf red pepper; pound till smooth ; refill the whites with the mixture, cut off the tips so that they will stand firm, and serve each on a diamond of fried or toasted bread. Fried eggs done in olive oil will be found more delicate than where lard or butter is used. The oil should be of the best quality, and very little sufiices. Two tablespoonfuls will fry four eggs ; heat the oil thorou lily and drop the eggs in very carefully. ‘on- trary to the accepted idea, the best author- ities advise turning a fried egg. Cook not more than twenty scoonds on one side, then deftly turn with a. pancake turner and cook the same length of time on the other side. Serve on a. folded napkin on a hot platter garnished with a bit of water cress. flow Eggs May be Served. In these early spring days the housekeep- i or puts much dependence upon eggs as food, and by a fine economy of nature it is at this season that they are freshest and most abundant. Some chosen receipts to vary their serving will, therefore, have special interest : Poached eggs are the most delicate of the simpler methods of serving eggs. A deep saucepan should be used and the water lshould reach the boiling point before the ’ egg is carefully dropped in. Some cooks i squeeze not more than two or three drops of ; lemon juice into the water and always use a teaspoonful of salt. A full minute should poach the egg su fiiciently,when itis lifted out with the skimmer and laid upon the square ‘ of toast already prepared on a. hot platter. } Some of the best chefs claim that the poach- 1 ing pan, to do half a dozen eggs at once,'J I does not insure the same perfection to each as when they are done separately, Eggs I may be poached in an almost perfect sphere l by giving to the water a rapid rotary i motion with z:- spoon or fork and dropping the egg in the heart of the Whirlpool thus formed. ' r) ’ “'J """" _V U ’ “ I Will never marry a. man who cannot :eep me well.” Certainly no man has the right to bring the girl he loves into a. poorer I or harder condition of life than that to which i l l ! she has been accostumed. But on the girl’s side this does not mean that she is to sit in a smart frock doing nothing all day but a little useless fancy work, whilst she leaves her hus- band’s comfortin house and table tosome low- class servant. By many girls whose mothers have put a wrong estimation of social posi- tion before them this style of thingis consider- ed the sign of being a lady. Unfortunate- ly, it is so far from the true state of the case that it is only underbred, not to say vulgar, people who would think so, and quite a sign of the very opposite extreme. Thorough-p bred women of the present day are notably practical, and have too much common sense shown in their education not to be able to turn their hand, if need be, to any- ; thing, without in the very least detracting ‘ from their position. Therefore, in dealing with servants, for instance, you having taught your daughter the common rules of health as applied to herself, show her also how to take charge of those under her care and to give every consideration for their, comfort and well-being, a kindness and thoughtfulness that none but the vulgar and presuming would ridicule or impose upon. forts. So a good mother will early show her daughter how to order and choose meat, fish, poultry, vegetablesâ€"and, In fact, all the necessaries of daily life. The girl will be taught how to keep the household ac- » counts, and to pay the tradesmen’s bills; to have the meals properly cooked and ; sent in, and, if necessary, to teach the cook how to manage this. It is a. proud position for a. girl to be set at the head of affairs, and she should realise her responsibilities. Her eye must be also on the appearance of her rooms as well as on the look of herself and her costume. Each department in the house must be thoroughly well done, and if adequate wages are given to the servants l and a comfortable home provided, there is i no reason why this should not occur.

A Jackson, Mich, despatch says :â€" Richard Sly, who was shot through the brain by Charles Brown, now occupies a cell at the county jail, a raving maniac. When Sly first went to the hospital after the shoot- it was supposed he would soon die from the cfi‘ects of the wound in his skull, but he gradually improved until it was intended to discharge him some time this week. The last day or two the attending physician has noticed signs of insanity, and Sly has been closely“ watched. This afternoon he became entirely unmanageable at the hospital. The matron communicated with Sherifl‘ Peck in regard to the disposition" to be made of the maniac. The sheriff subsequently went to‘ ‘L- LA__.:L 1 _-__-- u an. uv the hospital and rexnovedL‘fiSl’yjta‘a. cell at the county jail, where he will be kept for a day a; so until he can He sent to an asylum a. pointer, or index finger, attached to a. very sensitive lever traveling over the plate, While a. cutting tool, acting in perfect ac- cord, reproduces, on a. smaller scale,the de- sign upon the' surface of a. steel punch. The punch serves in turn to impress a matrix, and the matrix to mold, under great pres- sure, the die With which the coins are struck. At every stage of this operation the artists are required to retouch the de- Sign. In these days the artiSt supplies only the plaster cast of coin, and from this model a working cast is finished. Next an electro deposit is obtained, and the plate goes through a. delicately constructed reducing lathe. By means of this apparatus an ac- curately reduced copy of the model is made, One feature common to all the coins,from the £5 gold piece to the silver Maundy penny, is the absolute identity, though on a different scale, of the Queen’s head on the "obverse sidefiThe crown so much criticized on the old coins has disappeared. In place of it the Queen wears a. state tiara of dia- monds, which covers the front part of the head only, and from it flows a. gracefully draped veil. The ornaments are the Garter star,a.pear-drop pearl earr-ing ands. diamond necklace. There is a. strong resemblance to the head on several medals and on cer- tain colonial coins. For'the first time since the act of 1876 the Queen exercises her authority to place upon the coinage indicating that she is Empress ; of India. The inscription will read, “ Vic- toria Dei Gra. Britt. Regina Fid. Def. Ind. Imp.” The addition of the last two words, the abbreviation of “ Indornm Imperatrix,” is entirely new. The value of each coin is plainly designated in English. The Leverse of the new florin bears three shields instead of four, one each for England, Scotland and Ireland. On the present coin England has two of the four shields. Two scepters, inâ€" stead of four, are retained, and the emblems â€"rose, thistle and shamrockâ€"which had disappeared from the 1887 florin, are restor- ed. The ornamentation of the 2-shilling piece is still florid. the public having become accustomed to the pieee, and the shilling re- sembles it more than formerly. The double fiorin, or 2-shilling piece, which was one of the jubilee coins, has proved a failure, and will be dropped, As cases are on record Where new farthings have been accepted as gold coins, the use of St. George will be limited to the gold Joins. l l A new set of gold and silver pieces is to be coined at the Royal Mint, to be issued as lawful money currentin the United King- dom of Great Britain 'and Ireland, and as soon as the proclamation is fully published in the colonies the use of the old patterns at the mints will cease. Thejauthorities in char e of British coinage have evidently deci ed that the art of engraving is not what- it was in the days of fine gems and cameos ; and, at all events, coins cannot. be as artistic as medals, since coins must admit of piling, and are limited, therefore, to sal- ; ient figures with a. low relief.

A RAVING MANIAO. The New British Ooinage- Information just received from West Africa. reports the death of King Crow, or ,Kroo, of Rocktown, Bereby. The deceased met with his death, it is believed, at the hands of his enemies, a neighbouring tribe with whom his own people were at vari- ance. King Crow was a notable figure on the Bereby coast, and had the reputation of having killed the crew of an American vessel. The Bereby coast is fringed with rocks and is consequently dangerous of ap- proach. It is said that the American vessel got wrecked at the place where the crew landed. They numbered about 17 all told, and it is stated that through old Crow’s instrumentality all of the poor fel-‘ lows met their deaths. This, however, is said to have occurred about 17 or 18 years ago. King Crow lived right in the centre of his town, aid was found dead one morn- ing, having been stabbed to death. How the murderer managed to get into the King’s quarters was a mystery, on account of his house being completely surrounded by the dwellings of his people. King Grow in- variably came 03 in a canoe from his lace, and was well known on board the nglish mail steamers, his regal habifi- meuts consisting of a tall hat and a piece of cloth round the waist. Tartars of 2,000 years ago preservel only the thumb gnd toe nails of their dead. A Winnipeg telegram to the New York Sun seys:â€"The chief topic here is a pro- posed new road between \Vinnipeg and Lake Superior, paralleling the Canadian l Pacific. Men interested say they have $8,000,000 of New York capital ready to build the line, and that all they want is a. guarantee of the local Government to go on with the work. A strong deputation of citizens waited on the Government to urge [ that body to call a. special meeting of the I Legislature and pass the aid asked. The - scheme was fully outlined by which the I promoters propose giving to this province another competing line to Port Arthur and Duluth. The intention as stated, is to run the proposed line from \Vinnipeg south of the Canadian Pacific, tapping the Rainy, River country, and through‘to Port Arthur, a distance of between 400 and 500 miles. It is proposed to utlize either the Manitoba. Southeastern or Winnipeg Southwestern charters through the province to the Lake . of the ‘Voods, and also to utilize the charter 1 oi a company which has power to run 1‘ through the Rainy River country till the‘ ‘ Port Arthur, Duluth and Western is reach- ed. The new company has made arrange- ments for running over the latter line to 1 Port Arthur. The connection with the 1 Port Arthur and Duluth Railway will I shortly be completed to the Zenith City, a and running power will be secured over this line for the entire length of the system The company asks the Government for a- cashbonus of $450,000 on 110 milesâ€"a rate of $4,000 per mile. It does not ask for the payment of this amount until after the‘com- l pletion of the line in 1895. ‘The company l will enter into bond with the Government of I Manitoba. to reduce present grain rates 23,3 ' cents per bushel between \Vinnipeg and Lake Superior. After hearing Mr. Ewart and other members of the deputation, the Premier assured the gentlemen that their’ request would be taken into consideration at the first Cabinet‘mectingr. “And it; would appear asif this extraord- inary languagae is the one solitary heritage of this race from an ancestry of much high- er civilization. * * * It is most likely that they are the remnants of a people which formerly dwelt in the broad plains of the adjoining continent, but were gradually forced farther south by the more powerful tribe.” â€"-â€"r‘- A. all v5.1.3!

Then, before ithas time to loosen its teeth from the tough mor- scl, she jerks it clear out of the water, seizes it with her disengaged hand, disembowels it with her teeth, and strings it on a twig.” Mr. O’Sullivan once saw “a. woman, quite nude, paddling a. canoe and endeavoring to ‘ protect with her own person from the snow, which was falling in heavy flakes, the naked body of her baby, while her lord and master wrapped in a skin cloak, sat warming him- self over the fire amidships.” The “ cloak,” however, it is later explained, was only a; piece of uutanned skin, reaching from the l thigh to the small of the back, and this in a' climate like that of northern Scotland. At last there is a word of praise for the poor I islanders. The Fuegian language containsI 30,000 words and makes use of twenty more ' vowels than the English. From which the writer conclueds : In maps of the seventeeth century there were sometimes written across the islands known as Tierra Del Fuego the words “Cau- lati homines hicfi' which means something like “men here have tails,” and the belief that the Fuegians are monsters has not passed away altogether. Travelers have vied with each other in crying dowu the islanders, but D. R. O’Sullivan has been more successful in heaping abuse on that people than his predecessors,because he has had better opportunities for studying them, and his scorn was so sincere that he ex- claimed, after repeated efforts had been made by the savages' tB‘Teplenish their Iarders with the bodies of O’Sullivan and his companions, “Since I have come to know about the true conditions and circumstances of these wretched Fuegians, I cannot find it in my heart to condemn them for trying to get a little ‘long pig.’ ” Mr. O'Sullivan’s party was cast upon one of the larger islands and forced to remain for three months, during which time the white men suffered much from hunger and cold, although the attacks of the natives were easily repulsed. O’Snllivan has stud- ied theformation, flora, and fauna. of the isl- ands, but what he says about the people isl perhaps of most general interest. The men average a trifle over 5 feet in height. Their bodies are far larger that the size of the head and limbs warrant. As they have almost no clothing, they pass much time bending over fires, and thus, acquire a stoop, I which increases with years. For the same reason diseases of the eye are disgustingly common. The people know nothing of ag- , riculture, and are, the writer says, still inf the Stone age. Fish hooks are unknoWn ;/ l the line is fastened around the bait, and 1 the art is‘carried on in this fashion : l ARM-c That Is Behind the Times, Exmpt in langu rage.

A young man living near the corner of St. Hubert and Dorchester streets, had, it ap- - pears, been paying frequent visits to a pretty girl living in a house of doubtful repute on Cadieux street, and everything seemed to l indicate that his affection was-'reciprocated ! a hundred-f »ld. Yesterdaya 'crnoon while i the woman in question was shopping in a { fashionable establishment on St. Lawrence } Main street, she happened to cast her eyes } towards the door, and saw her lover prom- ienading with another person of less ten- ‘ der years. This was too much for the 3 young lady to bear and with a deep moan she fell to the floor in a swoon. Restora- tives were applied and the broken-hearted girl was sent home in a. carriage and al- though better when her lover called in the evening, her nerves were worked up to a dangerous pitch. Repairing to her room, followed by the young man, she drew a. pistol from a drawer and fired. The ball missed the object for which it was intended and smashed a. mirror instead. The almost insane girl was disarmed and has apparent- ly convinced the authorities and her lover that she was unaware of the weapon being loaded, as it has been decided to make no arrests. The French press, however, is making the most of the unfortunate inci. dent and it may be that the case may yet be brought into court. f In the list of abandoned vessels there are ‘ many, mostly lumber-laden American sehooners, that have drifted from 1,000 to more than 5,000 miles. Among these are the American schooner \V. L. \‘Vhite, which was abandoned on March 13, 1888, the day after the blizzard. In her cruise of ten months and ten days she cruised 5,910 miles and finally drifted on the shore of one of the Hebrides. The Wyer G. Sargent, also a lumber carrier, which was last sighted, a mere shell, on Dec. 6. 1891, was one year and nine months“ drifting. She was aban- doned ofl‘ Hatteras on March 31, 1891, with $20,000 worth of mahogany under her decks. She cruised 5,500 miles, mostly in the Sar- gasso Sea. Some of her cargo drifted on the shores of the Azores, and was sold by auction. The schooner Ethel M. Davis drifted 4,400 miles, the David W'. Hunt 4,- 800 miles, and the Fannie E. ’Woolston, which is still in fair condition, bothering the navigators, had, up to Dec. 13. 1892, cruised 3,460 miles. I The wreck chart shows that there were 38 collisions with derelicts from Jan. 16, 1887, to Dec. 4, 189], or an average of near- ? 1y 8 a year. Ten steamships collided with ‘derelicts. Only one, the Glenrath, was so ‘ badly damaged that she sank. The number of derelicts has increased steadily year hy‘2 year. There were. in 1888 eighty-two of; the unidentified waifs; in 1890, 146; in 1,991,172. In regard to the unidentified derelicts, the hydrographer, writes : “They include all the reports of vessels floating bottom up, floating hulks without masts, and abandoned vessels with masts standing, indicating the rig, but not estab' fishing the identity. There are many re- ports of known derelicts not recognized by - the vessels making the report, but which were evidently the known derelict be- cause of the date and position seen. When several reports of unrecognized vessels are for the same time and place, it is assumed to be the same one.” no doubt there are many more which were not; reported or were not seen. The pilot chain for February, .1893, shows 45 dereliots afloat in the Né‘rth Atlantic,25 of which were in the vicinity of the tracks of the transatlantic steamers. ” “ These 625 unknown with the 332 known derelicts makea. total of 9-37 derelicts dur- ing the five years, or an average of 16 for each month. The table of the drift derelicts indicates, as far as can be estimated from the number of days these derelicts lwere floating, that the average time a. derelict re- mains afloat is about thirty days, so that it is evident that there are at least 16 dereliets constantly afloat in this region. This averâ€" age is doubtless underestimated, since it is base-d only on definite reliable reports, and The wreck chart is nearly surrounded by printed statistics. They help the student of the’chart to appreciate the dangers of the ‘ main. They ‘ay that “the most reliable statistics show an average annual total loss of 2,172 vessels with 42,000 lives in the com- merce of the world. The estimated value of the vessels and cargoes lost is about $100,- 000,000. The dots and the curlycues show' where 956 vessels were wrecked on the Atlantic coast of North America, together with the positions of 332 abandoned ves- sels,of which 130 were frequently reported and have their drift tracks plotted as far as the limits of the chart will permit. ‘ In ad- dition to these the monthly pilot charts and weekly bulletins showfihat there were in this same region and period 625 derelict/s which could not be identified. ‘ TheStory or the Latest Chart l-‘ro m the [RS- llydrozmphie fifice. The marvels, mysteries, and tragedies of the sea for the last five years are told in the unemotional language of the statistician in the latest chart of the U. S. Hydrographic Office. The chart is not altogether-tn artistic creation, but it has probably more startling information on it than any other square yard of paper ever printed. Its upper half is filled With red curlycues and criss-cross lines which represent the erratic drift of famous derelicts.
