THE HOUSEHOLD. The Serving rs Oranges -Convenient For Holding Flour—A Window Pro. lector- Apple Hedgehog. The orange is now regarded as a standard article of food, ranking next to the apple. It is, however, a fruit that is awkward to eat, being so full of juice. The general way of serving an orange ' at breakfast since the advent of the pointed orange spoons is to cut it into halves horizontally with the skin on ! and with this spoon the juice with the pulp and leave t* e fiber. With a view to solving the problem of how I to eat an orange at the table the New- i York Sun furnishes some methods that please the eye as well as the palate. This authority says: The orange may be prepared prettily j for serving by breaking the sections apart and leaving them upon a strip of peel. This is readily done by cutting through the peel in two lines around i the fruit, leaving a half inch band of peel around the middle of the orange and removing all the rest of the skin. Cut the strip in one place and carefully open the fruit at its natural sections, ! spreading the strip of peel out fiat. Lay ! oranges prepared in this manner upon a flat glass dish and scatter finely cracked ice over them. A napkin should be wrung out of fresh water and laid over the prepared fruit until serving time to prevent the delicate skin covering each section from becoming bard and dry. With a few blossoms or green foliage around the edge of the dish this makes an attractive and refreshing picture upon the breakfast table on an oppressive spring morning. lu southern countries a fork is stuck into the stem end of the orange, and the fruit is then peeled, leaving only a circle of skin around the fork tines. The oranges are heaped upon a dish and garnished with orange leaves. To each guest is served a laden fork, and he partakes of the fruit, holding the fork in the hand and eating the pulp, leaving the pith upon the fork. This is an exceedingly pretty mode of serving the fruit, but not a graceful way of eating it, particularly if one happens to receive an unusually juicy orange. When serving birds, either broiled or roasted, an orange salad is an excellent accompaniment, and served upon the same dish with the birds it makes a desirable garnish. Peel tart oranges and cut them into thick slices. Remove the seeds and sprinkle them with a little cayenne pepper, a suspicion of salt, some oil and a few drops of lemon juice on each piece. Convenient For Holding Flour. One of the most convenient bins for flour when closed looked like one of the square doors in the pantry. It is so adjusted that the knob and “catch” are at the top, and it opens downward from the top. The interior is wedge shaped, its wooden sides thus gradually diminishing in size toward the bottom. In good working order such a flour bin is a boon, says Good Housekeeping, and when the quantity of flour grows less with use the decreasing size of the bin admirably suits its contents. A Window Screen. 11l France they have a simple arrangement for the windows in winter, which is both decorative and useful, and which might bo adopted in American country houses with advantage. It is called a window screen and consists of a padded elongated square of velvet or satin, either plain or decorated with embroidery, which is hung in front of the lower sash of a window to keep out the drafts. It is held in place by means of small rings, covered with a bow of ribbon, which fastens on small hooks A , WINDOW PROTECTOR. screwed into the “trim” of the window. Os course such a surface affords opportunity for charming effects in the way of needlework, particularly as there is nowear and tear, as in the case of cushion or tablecloth, so that the most delicate effects may be carried out, and the brise bises giv ?, besides, a cozy look to a room, which in winter weather is most attractive. The New York Tribune in calling attention to the foregoing illustrates the device de scribed. Apple Hedgehog. Under the name of apple hedgehog The Standard Designer describes a simple but attractive dessert: Two pounds of apples, peeled and sliced, a pound of white sugar and a half pint of water. Boil all together until quite thick and keep stirring to prevent burning. Put into a mold, turn out when cold and stick all over it split almonds. Serve with whipped cream. Mere Mention. Table bells in crystal and in colors are cut in unusually attractive patterns this season. A cut glass tea caddy with a screw top of sterling silver is a desirable accessory to the tea table. Glass bonbon dishes in assorted shapes and sizes are decorated in raised gold and clouded gold edges.—Jewelers Circular.

PEOPLE OF THE DAY. The youngest commander at present ! 1 in the American navy is Ensign Walter I R. Gherardi of the picket boat Sioux, j Young Gherardi, whose age is 23, is more than 6 feet in height and weighs 190 pounds—a fine specimen of the ; young manhood in Uncle Sam’s navy. 1 Ensign Gherardi was born at Honolulu ( in August, 1875, his father being at ( 1 ? ml 1 ENSIGN GHERARDI. that time stationed there as captain of the Pensacola. He received his appointment as naval cadet at Annapolis in September, 1891. His first service was on the Amphitrite in the summer of 1895. He has since served on the Texas and the Nashville, goin* on the latter as a newly commissioned ensign in July, 1897. His present command was given him April 9, 1898. A Soldier’s Wife. Most of the married life of Mrs. Nelson A. Miles has been spent at army posts as the companion of her gallant husband, G"neral Nelson A. Miles. There is not ° state or a post which she has not seen, and from the icy hills of Alaska to the burning deserts of Arizona MRS. NELSON A. MILES. she has accompanied her husband on his round of duties. She says she always found the lif: of an officer’s wife pleasant and free from unusual dangers. Mrs. Miles is tall and striking looking. Modest General Wheeler. From the time that General Wheeler’s nomination was forwarded to the senate he did not make his appearance at the house. This was a disappointment to his colleagues, who had planned foi him a grand reception. As soon as the appointment became known the ser-geant-at-arms took up a collection for the purchase of small flags. These were duly secured and widely distributed among Democrats, Republicans and Populists. The purpose was when the agile general of volunteers came upon the floor to flash out the multitude of flags at him ns a patriotic ovation. Whether General Wheeler was informed of this and because of his modesty kept far aloof from the legislative chamber, where he has,served so long, is not known. He did not, however, forget the members of the house, for before taking up his official duties he mailed to each his formal pour prendre conge. On one side was this plain inscription: “Joseph Wheeler, the Arlington, Washington, D. C.” On the other side was neatly inscribed the following: “I regret that I was unable to call upon you in person and thank you for your many kindnesses in the past, but my urgent orders made this impossible. ” —Washington Post. Another Northampton!!®. The chair of history at Princeton has now been filled by the election of the Rev. Paul Van Dyke, a brother of the Rev. Dr. Henry Van Dyke. Mr. Van Dyke has lately been pastor of the Edwards church in Northampton. It may be remembered that Jonathan Edwards, after a 24 years’ ministry in North-1 ampton and some years’ mission work among the Stockbridge Indians, accepted the presidency of Princeton. Got His Desk at Last. S. G. Thurlow of Belfast, Me., now nearly 90 years old, has just received permission to remove from the custom house there a desk which he bought and put there for his personal use when he was collector of customs 30 years ago. It had got on the inventory of office furniture through some mistake, and when i his term expired he was not allowed to j remove it. Application after application for permission to do so failed mi til now. Zola’s Tribute to Daudct. Zola says of a nation’s admiration for Daudet: “If I were asked to assign a definite place for Alphonse Daudet, I would give to him the first among his ; brothers. He was the bf-avest the strongest. His work, sweet and charming as | it was, was the loudest cry of pity, the, strongest demand for justice. It is a part cf a vast inquest that is being continued by this generation.”

WOMAN AND FASHION. Eimitransparent Goods Have High Fr. vor—Caprices In Skirts Are Many. Women Cigarette Smokers. The liking for thin, shirred stuffs in I likely to be even more pronounced during the spring, and pretty frocks show quantities of shirred crape, mousseline > do soie and liberty satin, according to a ! Paris correspondent of the New York Tribune, from which the following items and models of the fresh fashions are gleaned: Long sleeved, high necked bodices j made entirely of shirred mousseline de ; soie. the shirrings escaping here and i there in the diminutive lines of ruch- 1 ■ RECEPTION GOWN. ings that the French dressmakers call ! i “bouillonaise, ” produce an exquisito es- 1 feet and are worn with skirts es soft j wool trimmed with ribbon or more shir- j: red mousseline de soie to match the |' bodice. , Although the useful skirt of black j satin has little consideration now in a fashionable wardrobe, we see a good many tops that have no close connection with the skirt worn. A tan or gray moire silk, trimmed with fringe or velvet ribbon of the same or a darker shade, is an excellent style and may be worn with several waists, and without affirming that the style of the separate “top” has any marked revival it is safe to admit that during this demisaison there is a large demand for fancy bodices. The manner of the extra bodice now is not half a dozen to be worn with one black skirt, but an extra one to accompany each entire frock. Gray will be extremely fashionable this season, especially in the thin, semitransparent materials of which we shall see so many. The thin stuffs are mounted over colored linings, and as the color must be rather pronounced to give any effect we shall probably see taffeta in use again. However, taffeta is not ad- I visable as a lining to the extremely clinging sheath style of skirt, and for this model satin is preferred. In regard to skirts the Paris models present rather contradictory evidence as to the exact decree of Dame Fashion, and in truth all the couturieres are by I no means following the same model. The beautiful sheath skirt is absolutely the most graceful thing we have bad for many a year, but it is not becoming to every one. The woman who would wear st ch a skirt must possess the appearance of height and slenderness and a graceful and dignified carriage, and «feif FANCY BODICE FOR STREET WEAR. what appears strange at first sight is that the dressmakers do not recommend this skirt in the case of a short woman. A skirt that flares a trifle on the sides presents a larger surface of cloth and an appearance of greater length. The cuts from the journal quoted represent a reception gown of purple cloth with yoke and braiding of white satin aud a fancy bodice for street wear. The latter speaks for itself and is adapted to many materials. — Cigarette Smokers. The number of women who smoke is rapidly growing, says the New York Herald, which tells that the custom is j distinctly a foreign one imported from j the other side, and we ouly copy the ex-1 ample of the Russian, French and Eng- ; : lish women. The sale for cigarette cases , I made for women is large. These cases i . are smaller in size than are those de- I ! signed for men aud are made in gold, silver aud cork, the latter being the newest. Some have merely the corners tipped with gold or silver; ethers are studded with jewels, and many have i the owner’s monogram jewel studded i on them. i
