SHADES FOR CANDLES

THE REVIVAL OF CANDLES*FORILLUMINATING PURPOSES.

Silver, Brass mid China Candlestick* Are In Demand—Decorative Shades Are Required to Complete the Outfit—How

Thcuo Shades Can Be Made at Home.

Candles are being used more and pore for lighting drawing rooms, dining rooms, boudoirs and bedrooms, being e?pL dolly popular for the last named purpose. With the increased employment of candles have come in a number of new designs in candlesticks. Fortunate, however, is the woman who has inherited her grandmother's silver or brass candlesticks. They are far prettier than any of the modern ones.

China painters can now procure several different patterns in white ohina candlesticks for decoration, and these Are much used, especially as ornaments for the side brackets on one's dressing table, and they are always decorated

ia

colors to harmonize with the other furnishings of the room. Modern Priscdlla, excellent authority in such matters, says:

Candle shades are trifles which are easily made at home at the cost of a few cents each and add much to the effect The holder for the shade it is neoessarv

to buy, cost 10 cents, and it would better be bought before the shade is begun, so that they may fit each other perfectly- To begin, cut from white paper— stiff enough to hold its shape—a piece the shape and size indicated at Fig. 1. Lap the two straight edges enough to make the top fit exactly over the holder. This foundation cover with crape tissue paper of any shade desired. Cut a piecp a trifle wider than will reach from top to bottom of the foundation and long enough to reach around without stretching at the largest part of the shade, fasten this to the white paper foundation •with a few stitches or a very little paste at each edge. Pull out the lower edge of the tissue paper, where it projects over the edge of the white paper, into a raffle by passing it between the thumb af finger. This makes a pretty and very simple shade. If it is wanted a little more fanciful, a row of small artificial flowers may be added at the top and bottom.

Another pretty shade is made by using stiff milliner's net for the foundation and covering it with a gathered cover of .chiffon that is embroidered at the lower edge with a scallop and simple pattern. The upper edge can be finished with a row of flowers or a very narrow folded ruffle of the chiffon, whicl will stand up around the brass edge of the holder. The ruffle may be held in

place by a band of baby ribbon, with a bow and ends at one side. Thin india or china silk oovered with fine laoe will make pretty shades, but of course is more expensive than the paper.

If a square shado is wanted, It will be found necessary to cut the paper or net foundation like Fig. 3 to make a flaring shade, or if for one flat on top with a drooping ruffle a frame must be made of wire like Fig. 8. Have the inner circle just fit over the holder and makr the rest large enough to be in right proportion to the height of the candlestick. This wire frame can be covered with tissue paper or silk. First put a ruffle around the outer edge, catching it to the frame "with a few stitches. This ruffle will hang straight down, and the top of the shade can be covered with a straight piece gathered very full at the inner edge and full enough to lay out over the lower ruffle, or the frame may be oovered flat on top and a lace cover pnt on. The laoe must be wide enough to reach from the middle circle to the lower edge of the ruffle «nd full enough not to cup.

There are many other ways of making these pretty shades, and the foregoing are only intended as suggestions which may be varied to any extent

4&SHIONS OLD AND NEW.

Revival of the Sash—New Ribbon

Cravat—Co«tnu»es For Second Mourning.

A happy reviyal of an old fashion is the sash. It is either black or white soft satin, with the ends richly fringe*11 Some colors are used, but black and white area necessity, as colored satins are apt to look vulgar. There is a

change in the arrangement of the sash. The former long loops are now short bows, with the long ends falling to the lower edgo of the skirt. The sash gives suoh a thoroughly feminine rtnd youthful finish to the costume that it is sure to be received with pleasure.

One of the airiest caprices of fashion is an enormous tulle cravat, forming a large bow, tied directly under the chin, which looks like a big delusive butterfly. The latest fad of ribbon cravat is made of several yards of ribbon, quite narrow, which is used up is loops and two long ends nearly reaching to the feet. Ruohee are very much worn also about the neck of gowns, spangled black tulle being the favorite now in Paris, although one can form them out of any of the lovely thin stuffs that are so plentiful Black velvet belts are in vogue too.

A smart costume designed for a young widow in the last stages of mourning and described in the New York Sun made of white silk muslin with the tiniest of black dots, a black laoe application in a large bowknot design on the front of the skirt, a smaller one on the waist, It is all accordion plaited and made over a white peau de soie, the wrinkled belt and collar of soft white and black silk. The large picture hat worn with this lovely gown is a laoe foundation trimmed with knife plaited black silk mull and soft white silk folded about the crown, black tulle plaited and standing up straight, giving a chic finish to the filmy structura It looks so cool and such a relief after the heavy black Another extremely striking gown for the same person was made with the skirt of gray and black silk pekin, stylish double breasted coat of black satin, the pointed basque cut away in frdht and fastened with large jet buttons. It had^uge revers, covered up with the cravat of white silk muslin, elbow puffs of black satin, long gray suede gloves and a gray chip hat with parma violets.,

How to Remedy a Few Annoyances.

To drive r~d ants out of a cupboard place in it an earthen dish" containing a pint of tar, over which two quarts'o® hot water have been poured.

If irons bo rough and sticky, rub them on fine salt sprinkled on a board. Sprinkle clothes with a whisk broom dipped in ho* water.

A spoonful of vinegar put into the water in which meats or fowls are boiled makes them tender. .:

The rubber rings of preserve jars will recover thei** elasticity if soaked for awhile in weak ammonia water.

Souvenir Cashlons.

The latest fads in cushions are what are called "souvenir cushions." A young bride possesses an entire set of these. One is made of pieoes of the dress she wore the first time she met her husband, another from pieoes of her engagement dress, while the most gorgeous of all is one made of pieces of her wedding dress. Of course these cushions are strictly ornamental.

Oatmeal Nectar.

A cheap, refreshing beverage is made from oatmeal. Into a large earthenware or poroelain lined kettle put 4 ounoes of fresh oatmeal, 0 ounces of white sugar and a lemon slioed very thin. Mix with just enough cold water to melt the ingredients then pour on one gallon of boiling water, stirring all the while. When cold, this will be found a delightful drink.

Walking P*ll**e.

A useful garment for a girl of 12 is a pelisse made in linen and trimmd with Russian embroidery. This will be found especially comfortable in summer. Later on a wanner garment may be made

from ®»e same model of cashmere. A pleasing effect will be gained by making the cape and cuffs in a paler tone of the same ocAor employed in the pelisse. Substitute fancy galon for trimming in plaoe of the Russian embroidery advised for the linen pelisse.

BREAST, CHUCK AND SHOULDER.

These Are Nutrition* and Much More Economical Than the Favorite Cuts.

Philip Armour, the great meat packer, says that if the American people would learn to use more soups, stews and boiled meats, and would ask their butcher for the "breast," "ohuok" and "shoulder," which are quite as nutritious and much more economical than the favorite cuts, it would improve the general health and be a source of great saving. If the young housekeeper wo«Jd make it her study how to buy some of these outs and then to properly prepare them, she might save many dollars a year on her meat bin alone.

Of oourse these parts of the meat aro not fit for roasting. They need long oon tinned simmering—not boiling—to bo braised or stewed properly. Chops, steaks and choice roasts, all excellent in their way, are nevertheless unreasonably expensive, being so much in demaud and so easily prepared. But she who would study economy had better delegate these to the list of luxuries and for staple diet buy some of the joints, which are just, as nutritious, but not so often oalled for.

By way of experiment, Good Housekeeping suggests, instead of ordering chops or steak, buying the same number of pounds of breast of veal or lamb, as she may prefer. She will find that she has lass bone and more meat to the pound than in loin chops or the tenderloiu. Let her select apiece that is not too fat and trim off the skin. Cut the meat into pieoes an inch square, dredge them with flour and lay them in a sauoepan with enough butter to keep them from burning. Season to taste and stir frequently while oooking until they are browned. Add sufficient water or stock, if it is at band, to oover and simmer till the meat is tender. Skim off the fat oarefully. The gravy may be thickened a little after the meat is removed. Such a breakfast stew would be relished by those who may be tired of meat in the form of chops or steak, and the saving would be considerable

A

the size of the wooden framework, which you can enamel with any color, either to contrast or harmonize with the bag.

The bag is lined and can be adjusted in two waya If you always wish it to lie open, make a runner in the bag, and stretohing the tape or cord you place is it tightly across secure it with nails to the woodwork If, on the other hand,, you wish the bag to close, and this to be without folding the stool, you must make the bag much deeper, and by placing a second runner within about five inches of the top you will be able to draw it up easily, says The Housewife.

The Newest Fans. -s

There is an endless variety of fans, and many women have a fan for each gown. Quite the latest thing is an imi-, tation of some old French fans. A peculiarity of these fans is the long sticks and narrow top.

Many of the fails are profusely spangled with gold and silver in every imaginable design. Spangles are also often used on the small French fans.

Ostrich feather fans are still fashionable, both the open ones, made of a bunch of long plumes, and those that close, made of separate feathers. Carved and inlaid sticks of pearl and tortoise shell are preferred with theBe, as also with the elegant white and black duchess lace fans. The latest of these lace fans have some mythological soew painted in the oenter, the laoe forming the rest of the fan.

Eaialoped Egfd,

Make a foroemeat of finely minced ham or tongue, fine bread crumbs, pepper, salt, a little minced parsley and some melted butter. Moisten with milk to a fine paste and half fill some patty pans or scallop shells with the mixture. Break an egg carefully upon the top of each, dust with pepper and salt, sift some finely powdered cracker over all, put several bits of butter over the top of each egg and put in the oven and bake till the eggs are well set, which will be in about eight minutes. Serve hot.

Fashion Echoes. I

Among the novelties are jackets of thick black mohair lined with white satin and trimmed with white guipuru insertions laid upon white satin ribbon.

The chiffon waists worn in the eveaing are charming when of light oolots and made very full over a silk lining. Sometimes they are striped with insertions of Valenciennes or of guipuie passing around or lengthwise, as is inc*t becoming to the wearer.

Square and diamon# shaped buckljs are newer than the oval buckles usjd last year and are worn rather sma$, since narrower belts are in vogue

8ACHET PERFUMES,

4, feminine Fad That Is Ex pre wed in Many and Varied Form*.

There is one fad that has ooine to stay. This is the use of sachets, which, owing to tSie fastidious sister's Ingenuity, now take form and soent as varied as the uses to which they are put. This sweet scented craae starts with the chiffonier pads, large enough to infold whatever articles they are plaoed near, and is carried out even to the perfuming of madam's shoe and hosiery bags.

There are skirt saoliets, 83 inches long snd about 8tf wide, which are attached to a seam of the garment bodice sachets, sprinkled with the subtle per-

Ped -t octet"

fum&that the wearer affects glove, underwear, ribbon, lace, fan, veil and handkerchief sachets. The modistes make up whole Bets of scented fancies for use here and there about one's frocks, and orders aro frequently given for elaborate specimens! whioh are to serve as bridal presents,

Especial attention is paid by the'lover of fragrant belongings to bed and wardrobe sachets. The former is a French novelty, made in pongee silk in various tiints and embroidered in iris flowers.

Some delioious sachet, such as Florentine violet, orris, heliotrope blanc, marechale or Russian violet, is sifted upon the lining of batting. The sachet is laid across the bed after it is made, giving it a decidedly dressy appearance and imparting a delightful odor both to the bed and apartment. The same conceits are designed, in less elegant guise, for perfume pads in bureau drawers, on wardrobe shelves and in trunk trays.

A very dainty idea that carries along with one's best wishes to an inva-id friend a waft of fragrant blossom is the envelope sachet. In making this the perfume is first decided upon, so toat the color scheme may develop the notion. If violet sachet is to be used, a violet envelope is selected—one of the big, square shapes that are so much employed in fashionable correspondence. The envelope is run all around with bebe ribbon—violet in tint—which is pased through tiny slits, ending in fluffy bunches at the corners. If an artist has the fashioning of one of these sweets, she paints a few violets, scattered as if by a careless hand, across the tender toned paper. Then the violet powder has only to be inclosed in a tissue wrapping the size of the envelope, slip^jed inside of it and the flap caught down with a bit of violet, wax pressed upon the stems of a few violets^ so that they are held'in place.

yt Sleep With the Scent of the Sea.

-The woman or girl who loves the smell of the sea, but can't get away to revel in it for more than a day's excursion at a time, can have it with her always if she will take pains to bring, home from each trip a basketful of sea moss. In four or five trips she will secure all that is needed and not be loaded down uncomfortably. The moss can be used for filling pillows, and a woman who has tried it declares that nothing injures it, for even if the pillow is soaked through the sun dries the moss off again quickly. Pongee silk, with an interlining of cheesecloth, makes an excellent oover for these cushions and, if embroidered with sea anemones, starfish and seaweed designs, will bo especially appropriate. The moss must be thoroughly dried before it is used. It will retain something of the salt sea smell, which is said to have the virtue ,of wooing sleep for those who need it

OF PUBLIC LNTEBEST-

A MATTER WHICH 18 EXCITING MUCH TALK.

It Concerns a Well-known and Prominent Family—The Wife of an Honored and Be•pseted Public Wan Write* a Letter.

G. A. Williamson, Esq., baa for thirtyfive years been City Recorder of Deeds, of Providence, R. I. During all this time be and his family have occupied a very prominent position in Providence where they are held In the utmost regard ac4 esteem by everybody. They reside at 8 Bradford street.

Mrs. Williamson has for along time been a great sufferer. She has lately been cured of her complaints by a most remarkable remedy and her love for her fellow-beings is such that she writes the following letter telling them just what to do to be welland strong: -t "For some time I bad been troubled witb numbness of my bands and arms. It was very distressing and a constant annoyance to me. My nervous system was badly affected. I was unable to sleep, getting but very little rest at night. I suffered from indigestion and my appetite was very poor. I learned of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and hearing it most highly spoken of, determined to use it. It had helped so many despairing sufferers I believed it would help me. After taking the second bottle I noticed a marked Improvement and I continued to steadily g^in In all respe6ts. I cheerfully recommend Dr. Greene's Nervura blood aud nerve remedy to all sufferers."

JERUSALEM'S BOOM.

The Holy City Has Caught the Fever of Modera Progress—Promising Environment.

The British consul at Jerusalem in his last report gives some interesting details respecting the state of the Holy City. It appears that buildings of various kinds continue to be erected in the vicinity, and that the city is far outgrowing its former limits. On the western side houses have increased so rapidly within the last few years that quite a large suburb has arisen where formerly there were fields and vineyards. Every available jriece of land is now being bought up by private persons or by benevolent societies and missions, and al ready the name of Modern Jerusalem has been given to this new quarter,

Last year the first publio garden was oompleted outside the Jaffa gate, and the trade is generally increasing, especially "that in Jaffa oranges, olive wood work l^now an important local industry) and olive oil. The export of colocynth declined in consequenoe of a tithe levied on it by the authorities. It is gathered by Arabs in the neighborhood of Gaza, where it grows wild. An interesting enterprise which has reoently been oommenoed is the collection of the bitumen which rises to the surface and floats about on the Dead sea. Two sailing boots were taken by train from Jaffa to Jerusalem and then conveyed in carts to the Jordan, where they were floated down the river to the Dead sea, and they are now eng^jed in picking up the bitumen, which is in much request in Europe.

The consul thinks it would be advantageous to trade with the inland districts if a steam launch and lighters were placed on the Dead sea to ferry across the produce of Moab, which is a ootmtry that is rich in cereals, fruit and cattle. At present it is oonveyed by caravans round the north or south end of the Dead sea, entailing a journey of from four to five days. Kerak, the chief town of Moab, is now garrisoned with Ottoman troops, and authority is established there, so that if rapid communication were established the whole produce of Moab would find its way to Jerusalem and the coast.—Boston Transcript.

Colonel James Russell Lowell tells the story that one of the gentlemen he met in Chicago had a great deal to say of his travels in Europe. Colonel Lowell remarked that he greatly enjoyed the Frenoh literature, and that George Sand was one of bis favorite authors. "Oh, yes," exclaimed the Chicago gentleman, *1 have had many a happy hour with Sand." "You knew George Sand, then?'1 ask ed Colonel Lowell, with an expression of surprise. "Knew him? Well, I should rather say I did!" cried the Chicago man, and then he added as a clincher. "I roomed with him when I was in Paris "—Chicago Record.

Europe for $10, including board and lodging, is the present rate of the competing steamship lines. Persons who make frequent trips first class can not view the war in steerage rates without some feelings of envy. Tho remarkable price of 10 for a trip of from seven to nine days, with good sanitary quarters, plenty of wholesome food and drink, and in a record breaking steamer at that, is one reason for the very large emigration during the past two months. Though the transatlantic companies are fighting to the death for the steerage traffic, they display an altogether wonderful degree of indifferenoe to fiwfc class passengers. Competition in this direction is apparently birred by a cast lion mutual agreement —New York Sun.

RO$EBERY AND RACING.5*

The Prime Minister Xs No* Yet Out of His Wrangle With the Nonconformists.

The nonconformist oonscience has finally succeeded in drawing out Lord Rosebery on the subject of horse races, or rather race Worses, for a sharp distinction is made between the two phrases. The premier's clever interpretation of tlie Puritan figure of Cromwell between himself aud his virtuous critics is accepted as a practically conclusive argument in a country which ranks precedent as higher authority than principle.

This paramount characteristic of tho English mind is amazingly shown in the reply to the prime minister's urban©retort. Instead of defying the historic example of the lord protector and sticking to its guns, the Antigambling society weakly suggests that if Cromwell had possessed as much knowledge of the evils of gambling as is now available he would have sold his race horses, as Rosebery is asked to do.

The two letters have started the discussion afresh, but the episode has so amused the English that the winner of the Derby has little to fear. It is an interesting fact that Ro6ebery's most numerous and enthusiastic defenders aro among his political opponents. The Liberal party has much more to fear from the stern virtues of the nonconformist conscience.

So some organs which support the prime minister politically take a dubious view of the incident. Enemies like The Times and The Telegraph chuckle gleefully over the discomfiture of the critics. They review copiously the history of the great pretender's sporting proclivities and lament any decadence in the favorite national pastime.—New York Sun's London Letter.

HOMING PIGEONS IN THE NAVY.

A Trial on the Monongahela Demonstrates Their Value as Messengers.

The United States practice ship Monongabela, Captain C. M. Chester commanding, has arrived in Gardiner's bay from Annapolis. She has three classes of naval cadets on board and is on her summer cruise.

An interesting experiment with a pigeon messenger service was tried. The Monongahela took with her a number of birds from the Naval academy loft. Each day after leaving Annapolis one of these was released with messages for home The last was liberated 90 milesoff Cape Henry and fully 200 miles from Annapolis. Advices received from Annapolis show the birds reached there in good tima
