objective apart and cleaning it, provided be will only do it carefully. In the first place ‘‘do not use either fine chamois skin, tissue paper or an old silk handkerchief, or any other such material as is usually advised. ” Use cheesecloth. It is not the wiping material, though, that is apt to do the mischief, but tho fine dust particles, which may bo silicious and become attached to the glass. This is the way to begin on

the objective:

Tako a wooden bowl, cleaned with soap and water, then half fill it with clean water of about tho same temperature as tho glass and put in a teaspoonful of ammonia in half a pail of water. First wash a piece of cheesecloth thoroughly with soap and water and rinse and clean. .Then place it in the bowl or pail, so that the lens won’t slip. Never use the same piece of cheesecloth twice. Mr. Brashear says that when the lens has been dusted and placed in the water he prefers to rub it with the palms of his cleaned hands, although cheesecloth is good. There seems to be absolutely no danger of scratching it when plenty of water is used. When thoroughly washed, take the glass out, lay it on a bundle of cheesecloth, and use several pieces of the same, which have been previously washed clean and dried, and dry it Don’t let it drain dry. Tako up all tho moisture with the cloth. Vigorous rubbing will do no harm if the surfaces have no abrading material. An objective can be cleaned without taking it out of its cell. First dust otf the particles, then use the cheesecloth with soap and water. Go over the surface gently with one piece of cloth and throw it away and take another, then a third one. When tho glass is cleau, take a piece of dry cloth and dry it Of course photographic lenses can be cleaned in the same way.

How to Make Shoo DreHMing at Home. A soft dressing that is less injurious than tho majority of polishes found in the market is made by mixing to a smooth paste vaseline or cosmoline and lampblack. Apply a very little with a flannel cloth and rub in thoroughly. The oil fills up the pores and renders tho leather almost waterproof after using it several times. This dressing does not impart a high gloss to the leather, but merely softens and colors it. Whore a polish is desired the liquid dressings are preferable.

[ Special ('<irrespondence. 1 Bangor, April 15.—So little is known about the lobster and so very erroneous are the popular ideas as to its food, mode of life, etc., that I think a story of tho life of a lobster as it is lived on tho coast of Maine, tho greatest lobster ground in the United States, perhaps in the world, should be interesting as well as valuable to all lovers of this toothsome crustacean. When the eggs are extruded from the female, between tho months of April and Sontember, they are already fertilized by the male. They are covered with a viscous secretion, which causes them to stick together, ami also to the long, fine hair, or swimmerets, of the abdomen. The number of eggs varies from 1,000 to 30,000, and after they are a few days old the skin of the egg changes, and the young lobster is able to swim. They are now a prey for many kinds of fishes and do not even hesitate to devour each other. But the carapace, or shell, soon begins to form, and after a very little time the young crustacean finds his way to his natural home at the bottom of some shelving rock. The shell is formed in a very curious manner. It consists of a mucous exudation from the body of the lobster itself and contains a largo proportion of calcareous or limy matter. This shell is so inelastic that when the animal grows its covering becomes too small, and the process of exuviation, or shedding tho shell, takes place, generally once a year, until the animal is full grown, after which it does not exuviate, so that we sometimes find old lobsters whose shells are covered all over with barnacles. This process of exchanging the shell is accomplished with great pain and difficulty to the lobster, as tlto increased limbs have to bo drawn from the now too small shells of the claws, legs, etc. When the exuviation begins, the shell of the body of the animal splits down tho back to the tail, and the semiliquid flesh is withdrawn from the shell. Then tho lobster drags itself for-

Types of Restaurants. f Special Correspondence. ]

New York, April 15.—It has boon said that tho restaurants of New York are replicas of metropolitan life, and this is true to a certain extent. In no other resorts can one study the various classes so closely, observe their manners and morals, their tastes and appetites, their dress and caprices so minutely. In certain magnificent Fifth avenue cafes, especially after the theater or opera is over, tiie fashionable world is on exhibition. Lovely women whoso fame is

How to Stuff Lobater Tails. Cut in throe-sixteenths of an inch squares a pound of lobster moat cooicod in court bouillon. To prepare the court bouillon mince up 2 ounces of onions, 2 ounces of celery root, 2 ounces of carrots and put them into a saucepan with a branch of parsley, thyme and bay leaf; also a pint of water, some salt and a pint of white wine. Let boil for ten minutes. Add to these half the same quantity of cooked mushrooms, cut up the same size. Fry colorless in butter 2 tablespoonfuls of onions. Add 2 ounces of flour and fry without browning. Dilute with a pint of milk and cook again for a few minutes. Then add the lobster, mushrooms. Mix well. Boil up once, remove and cool off. Fill tho half tail shells, well cleaned and dried, with this preparation. Dredge over bread crumbs, besprinkle with butter and brown them in a hot oven.

How to I'k« Lemons on the Hair. A lemon cat in half, or, better still, in quarters, so that tho pulp can easily be applied to tho roots of the hair, will stop any ordinary case of falling out. It is an agreeable remedy. Besides being oool and pleasant to the skin, the scent, unlike that left by tho petroleum cure, is distinctly refreshing, and it also has the merit of cheapness.

How to Mako Oatmeal Ibigs. Take 6 pounds of oatmeal, ground fine, a half pound of castile soap, reduced to powder, and a pound of powdered Italian orris root. Cut a yard of thin cheesecloth into bags about four inches square, sowing them on tho machine and taking care not to leave any untied threads where a break may let the contents oozo out. Mix tho soap, oatmeal and orris root thoroughly and fill the bags loosely. Sew up the opening in each and lay them away to he used as required. They are used as a sponge dipped in warm water, making a thick velvet lather and wonderfully softening the skin while tho orris imparts a lasting fragrance.

How to Cure Mosquito Hittv*. Apply ••pirits of hartshorn diluted with twice as much water or sal volatile or cologne. If tho part is left puffy and swelled after tho tingling haa abated, rub it with soap liniment. A piece ef raw onion is also most efficacious for bites and stings. Tho following is a cure and a deterrent: A paste made of the plant Pyrethrum rosoeum, mixed with spirits, diluted with twice as much water as spirits. This applied will cure tho bite and prevent others, as tho odor will keep away the mosquito.

How to Keep Lace Veils Smooth. The best way to keep lace veils smooth and in good order is to roll them up when they are taken off, keeping the edges flat and well stretched apart during tho process. This method will mako a veil last longer and keep it looking fresher than any veil case, however dainty in design.

a lobster. ward feebly, leaving the shell of the tail behind. However, so quickly does the process of exudation go on that the new shell is perfectly formed in a few days, and the lobster leaves his temporary retreat. The manner in which lobsters move is very ingenious. The logs proper are tho only limbs that are used. The tail, claws, etc., are kept motionless and in such a position' as to offer the least possible resistance to the water. During this progress the long tentacles are continually moving from side to side, feeling the way and incidentally looking out for enemies or danger. Should danger be apprehended the lobster at once backs with marvelous rapidity, in which operation the tail is used in cases of extreme urgency. Although everybody who has seen a lobster must have noticed that one claw is larger than tho other, few persons know the reason for this disparity of size or the real uses of tho claws. Their chief use is for the purpose of capturing and preparing food, but they are also used as instruments of attack and defense. It has been commonly believed that thoir food consists of decaying or decomposing bodies of fishes and other animals, but this is entirely erroneous. As a matter of fact, tho lobster is very careful in the selection of his food, and unless his usual food is scarce or entirely absent from his locality he never eats anything that is not perfectly sound. Tho natural food consists of clams, mussels, small oysters and tho smaller kinds of shellfish, usually bivalves. Tho larger claw takes the place of the molars in the higher animals. With this tho lobster grasps tho bivalve ami crushes it, and then the smaller claw, which is thickly set with incisors, is used for dividing the softer portions of the prey and preparing the food. While the process of crushing tho shells and preparing the flesh of tho bivalves is going on the little horns on tho end of the tail and also those on the thorax show their usefulness by holding tho prey or food whilo the claws are doing tho slaughtering and butchering work. Connected with this use of tho claws, and also with reference to their utility in defense and attack, it is highly interesting to observe the remarkable faculty for repairing injuries which is possessed by the lobster. For instance, when a claw is injured, while crushing shells or during a fight, tho limb at otico snaps off at the second joint, where tho diameter is least, and the animal does not seem to sutler tiie slightest inconvenience 1 from tho loss. The limb tills out at nie next exuviation, but in tiie case of a full grown lobster the loss is never supplied. Lobsters are endowed with a very well developed sense of smell, and for this reason they avoid as much as possible those parts of tho bottom where decomposing animal matter lies unless it becomes necessary, through lack of their natural food, to have recourse to that unsavory diet. This sense also enables them to discover the proximity of many jf their enemies. Rob. F. Waush.

tho chief attraction. But there are always railroad kings. Wall street magnates, distinguished authors and shrewd politicians to be seen as well. Now and then some famous actress comes in with two or three swells in her train, the little procession causing u momentary ripple in tho essentially elegant assemblage, but as a rule these are tho rosorts of tho beau monde, and the lines are usually drawn around the charmed

circle.

Not more than half a dozen blocks away from somo of these fashionable restaurants may bo seen a very different class of people. In several up town cafes, about midnight, one may see the nearest approach to Parisian life, possibly, in tho town. Rustling, perfumed, jeweled and radiant come the cream of society’s outlaws—wonieu whose names have figured unpleasantly in sensational divorce cases; soubrettes of the Tenderloin, whose spicy escapades have been the subject of many a newspaper scandal, all gorgeously attired, prosperous, smiling, seeming to taste only the sunshine and inhale the roses of life. There are lots of respeetable women, too, who have begged and cajoled their husbands, brothers or cousins into bringing them to these restaurants simply to behold this beauty show. Here, too, you may see a crowd of theatrical people, hurrying in with the makeup scarcely washed trom thoir faces, low comedians, dancers, living pictures. To see an entirely different class of people, go in some day to a restaurant on West Sixteenth street. Here come in hundreds the breadwinners, the self supporting women of New York. Typewriters, stenographers, journalists, art students, buyers for the big dry goods establishments, private secretaries, cashiers and bookkeepers may all bo seen any day in the week, eating a modest luncheon, for which they pay modest prices. In one of the oldest and stateliest parts of Now York is a famous French hotel where all the world mix and dine. It is the most cosmopolitan and democratic cafe in New York. Here you may see almost all types. All the famous foreigners who visit onr town are sure to show up there sooner or later. Opera singers, yacht owners, architects, journalists, fashionable people out on a lark, bridal couples and a host of folks who have brought out of town friends to show them one phase of New York life are to be seen here at the table d’hote, which is one of the very best in

the city.

Not far away is a funny little cafe much affected by artists, newspaper men and women, cartoonists, bohemians of all sorts. Everybody knows everybody, people visit together at the long tables, call each other by their first names, jolly and chaff one another and have a very good sort of timo altogether. The dinner is not much, cannot be for 30 cents, the wine is atrocious and cafe au cognac villainous, but these happy go lucky individuals do not mind. They are out simply for a good free and easy time, and they get it, for they do exactly as they please in this droll, stuffy little restaurant. Now, if you go a long way down town, you will find more replicas of New York life and of a different sort from any shown in the cafes already described. There is a quite famous restaurant in one of the big office buildings on Broadway which is frequented mostly by lawyers and thoir families. Here, in this largo, luxurious cafe, one may see a prominent lawyer lunching with his client, or with his wife and daughters perhaps, who have come down town to attack papa’s bank account and incidentally to make him invite them out to luncheon. There is a restaurant on a down town side street where no intoxicating drinks are ever sold and where Scriptural texts on tho walls jostle the printed placards announcing tho prices of various dishes. Thus “Come unto mo all ye that labor’’ is in startling proximity to “Pork and beans, 15 cents.” The effect is very ridiculous. One must not forget the Chinese restaurants in Mott street, where chicken livers, rice and nonpareils are served you with resurrected eggs and strange, fiery, pi a 'h hired Chinese whisky. Here you may see life of another sort, and a very saddening one at times when Chinamen cornu in with thoir white wives. Flash confidence men, bunko stoerers, amateur sports, are nil jostled in these restaurants. The kitchens, however, are niaivi'ls of neatness and always open to tho inspection of tho curious. In tho neighborhood of Brooklyn bridge and tiio great newspaper offices are many restaurants frequented by the people who help to make tho daily journals. You may see editors, reporters and special writers as well as typesetters and proofreaders in any of these cafes. Here, too, come city hall people, officials and appointees, ward politicians and ward heelers. The postoffice sends its representatives, and interspersed are well known business men, bankers, promoters and railroad men. Stories are suggested, deals consummated, political slates fixed, bargains struck over these tables, while a sprinkling of tho fair sex—the presence of lovely advanced woman—indicates that even hero in this prosaic atmosphere are spring gowns designed and flirtations conducted by ladies, both of the old and new schools.
