JijL. Beautiful eyes grow dull and dim As tlie swift years steal away. Beautiful, willowy forms so slim Lose fairness with every day. But she still is queen and hath charms to spare Who wears youth’s coronal — beautiful hair, Preserve Your Hair and you preserve your youth. “A woman is as old as she looks,” says the world. No woman looks as old as she is if her hair has preserved its normal beauty. You can keep hair from falling out, restoring its normal coloj, or restore the normal color to gray or faded hair, by the use of Ayer’s Hair Vigor.

'HUMOR OF THE HOUR. “I begiiM'wunderstand your language better,” said my French friend, M. Dubois, to me, ‘‘but your verbs trouble me still. You mis them up so with prepositions. “I saw your friend, Mrs. Murketon, just now,” he continued. “She says she intends to break down her school earlier than usual. Am I right there?” “Break up her school, she must have said. ” “Oh, yes, I remember—break up school. ” “Why does she do that?” I asked. “Because her health is broken into.” “Broken down.” “Broken down? Oh, yes. And, indeed, since fever has broken up in town”— “Broken out.” “She thinks she will leave it for a few weeks. ” “'Will she leave her house alone?” “No, she is afraid it will be broken —broken—how do I say that?” “Broken into.” “Certainly. It is what I meant to say.” ” “Is her son to be married soon?” “No, that engagement is broken—broken”— “Broken off.” “ Yes, broken off. ” “Ah, I had not heard that.” “She is very sorry about it. Her son only broke the news. down .to her last week. Am ,F right? I am anxious to speak English well.” “He merely broke the news; no preposition this time. ” “It is hard ‘to understand. That young man, her son, is a line young,fellow, a breaker, I think.” .“A broker, and a line fellow. Good day!” So much for the Verb “break.” — Youth’s Companion.

THE HOUSEHOLD. Various Ways of Preparing Sweetbreads. Answering Wedding Invitations. Potato Crust. Sweetbreads should lie in cold sail water for an hour or more before being cooked. Then put them info fresh water and cook them gently 20 minutes. Throw the partly cooked sweetbreads into cold water, and when they are cold carefully remove the outer ctjgings, strings and veins without breaking the sweetbreads into pieces. In whatever way a sweetbread is to be served, larded and roasted, crumbed and fried, stewed or broil d, it must first; be parboiled, then cooked as desired, and served bot with an appropriate sauce. A simple way of serving sweetbread* is to cleanse and parboil them. When cold, split them in half, rub them over with butter, and carefully broil them over a clear tiro in a double broiler, turning them often. Lay them upon squares of buttered toast, spreading butter upon the hot sweetbreads and seasoning them plentifully with salt and pepper. Many like boiling cream poured over sweetbreads so prepared. Foreream baked sweetbreads: Cleanse one good sized pair of calves’ sweetbreads, and to the water in which they are cooked add a bay leaf, half tv dozen peppercorns and a slice of onion. Ctiok them 20 minutes, then drop them into clear water, and let them, lie there until cold before picking them into small pieces. Place a saucepan over the lire and put into it a large tablespoonful of butter. When it is melted, stir in one tablespoonful of flour, then add half a cup of the strained liquid in which the sweetbreads were boiled aud half a cup of cream. When the mixture is boiling, add the prepared sweetbreads and it few chopped mushrooms.- Cook ten minutes, then take the pan from the fire and immediately stir in the yolks of two eggs previously beaten aud season with salt and cayenne pepper. Turn the mixture into a buttered baking dish, cover the top with a sprinkling of fried bread crumbs and keep it in a hot oven about ten minutes and serve If the mixture is baked and served in individual china baking cups, they will not require to bo in the oven quite as long. A popular way of serving sweetbreads at evening entertainments is in the little paper ca«es, preparing them as in the foregoing recipe, using the yolks of the eggs or not, as desired. A few chopped olives are often added to the mixture and are an improvement. An unusually daiuty and delicious salad is made with cooked sweetbreads. Cut them into small pieces, season them with salt and white pepper, keep them in a cool place until required and then mix them with a smooth mayonnaise dressing and>serve them upon lettuce leaves or add a little chopped celery to them and cover with the mayonnaise. Answering: Wedding Invitations. The question of answering wedding invitations has been much discussed. In England and in France every invitation is acknowledged, and the American lady who sends to an Englishman tin invitation to a church wedding is very apt receive a note saying, “Mr. Aubrey'' Sm}'the-thanks Mrs. Wilson Hamilton for her invitation to witness the marriage of her daughter, which he accepts with .much pleasure. ” In this connection The Ladies’ Home Journal tells that in the United States it seems to be considered unnecessary to acknowledge an invitation !o a church wedding unless it includes an invitation to tv reception or a sit down breakfast. In regard to announcement cards it may fit) said that they pass unacknowledged unless they in lude cards the bride a first “at home,” and then either a personal call or a card by post is required. A Woman’s Invention. The country woman who has invented a kettle, in which meats and vegetables may be boiled without odors being diffused through the house should 1 > gratefully rewarded by her sister sufferers. The merit of the invention, explains the New York Sun, lies in tlie cover, which has a curved tube or spout long enough to extend into an opening in the range pipe, anil provided with a circular piece of tin near the end so that it, may be litted into any aperture. With this kettle one need not eat her boiled dinner before meal time. Potato Crust. Here is Good Housekeeping’s recipe: Boil six good sized, mealy potatoes and mash them fine, adding a spoonful of butter, two of water and salt .to taste, while they are hot. Or leave out the butter and water and use three spoonfuls of cream instead. Then work in flour enough to make a paste. Use for potpies or dumplings. Old Furniture. Very old furniture in cherry is almost as highly prized as mahogany, and lino old pieces in maple fetch high prices, according to an exchange. The best walnut furniture of good old pattern is also highly prized by s he cabinet makers, as walnut has become a very scarce wood iu this country. I Fashionable Odds and Ends. Tea bells of. decorated crystal have their value enhanced with silver inotfnts. Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce bottles become objects of beauty iu the new filigree silver holders designed especially for their enhancement. Coffee sets are eminently decorated and represent several styles. The Turkish set includes, in addition -to the usual pieces, a vase for cigarettes and a decanter for liqueur, t Collectors of souvenir spoons will welcome the artistic aud massive Nansen spoon, which is, of course, commemorative of Nansen and his farthest north expedition. I ‘Scarcely less numerous, novel and varied than the berry spoon are berry forks of silver, with appropriate ornamentation on bowl and handle. Jewelers’ Circular.

Dr. Pouchet says that somo formfc of bacteria will survive an ordeal of 400 degrees of heat. Tho grain acreage of the United States has nearly doubled since 1878, but the population has not. Tlie only quicksilver mines of importance in this country are located iu southern Ca’’fornia. The huge guns of modem navies can only be fired about. 75 times. This suffices to wear them out. According to the official reports of the Japanese . government, the Island Empire contains 02,520 teachers. It is a fact not generally known that there was a tunnel under the Euphrates i within the walls of ancient, Babylon.

AbdDriflleld, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, the harvest bell is still rung at 5 o’clock iu the morning to arouse tlie laborers from their slumbers, and at 7 in the evening tho welcome sound of the bell intimates tho time for closing work for the day. Drunkenness was punished in many of tie early nations with exemplary severity. In England a canon law restrained it in the clergy so early as A. D. 747. Constantine, king of Scots, punished this offense .against society with death. He used to say that a drunkard was but the mimic of a man and differed from the beast only in shape. / -- J, An old pawn ticket, signed by Tasso, tho poet, and dated 1570, has been found in a Florentine curiosity shop in a portfolio of old letters.

Abraham Levi, sos which he holds as security a sword of my father, four sheets and two table covers. ” The novels with the ring and the incidents arising from the golden circlet are innumerable, In the old stories of .Teutonic and Scandinavian origin it is constant. In the “Faereyihga Saga” there is one of Earl Hukon, who, falling in love with a statue, prays that she will give him her golden linger ring, and she does. When Sigmund, liis rival, tries to take tho ring from Earl Hukon, Sigmund perishes. The old’ Chapel of Ease, at Tunbridgo Wells, England, stands partly in Kent and partly in Sussex, but, moro than that, it klso stands in three parishes. When tho clergyman leaves the vestry, lie comes out of the parish of Kraut, in Sussex, and if he is going to officiate at tho altar he walks into the parish of Tunbridge, in Kent. If, on the other hand, lie is going to preach the sermon, he walks from Fraut into the parish of SpeltLhurst. In tho parish chest of Barrow-on-Huuiber, Lincolnshire, England, is preserved a copy of tfie ‘ ‘Office and Duty of the Parish Clerk, ” bearing date 1713, and iu which it states: “Item. —He is to ring a bell every working day morning at break of day and continue the ringing thereof until All Saints, and also to ring a belt every evening about the snusetting until harvest be fully ended, which bells are to begin to ring from the beginning of the harvest.”
