Household Department
When the btifband of the house |
likes au item of food and the wife |
does not, what schedule should be
run ns to that particular article? i
Any one may answer.
The Crown Princess of Sweden is j
pleasantly photographed as a peas
ant-looking, coarse, masculine per- j
son, without a single feature to re- j
deem her from being the ugliest,
woman in Europe.

Current rumor has it that among
all the toilets worn at a ■certain
grand dame’s ball in Paris, none so
bewildered the men and exasperat
ed the women as a certain gown of
pale salmon tinted satin veiled in
rosy tulle, the long folds of which
were held in place by marabout
plumes of a deeper tint, placed
singly and half hidden in the misty
tulle, while a thick rouche of wav
ing marabout feathers of a deeper
shade of pink outlined the edge of
the skirt.

Ladies write for this 'department
and give your sisters the benefit of
such experience as you may have
in any particular matter connected
with the household. We heard a
gentleman say last week that there
was nothing to ho learned about
housekeeping. We regret to say he
married a few months since one of
Pike’s fair daughters and carried
her u way to another county. We
expected better of him than to say
there was nothing to he leajned.
If some of you will write some good
articles for this page we will mark
them and send copies to him.
The pretty girls and comely ma
trons of our Northern cities eneour
age the semi-barbarous amusements
of men by their presence. At the
Racquet Club in New York about
two hundred turned out to witness
the slugging, and they were so de
lighted that another festival of the
kind is to be had. The presence
of the ladies does not seem to rob
the sport of gore. If the testimony
of the Racquet Club is reliable,the
livelier the better Beauty enjoys it.
How long before the maidens of all
sections will find a charm at the
Racquet court?
This will probably be a very bril
liant winter inWashington society.
The weekly receptions of the wives
of the members of the Cabinet have
already commenced. As it will be
their last season at Washington
they will endeawor to do something
that will be remembered. All the
old social forces of successive Re
publican Administrations will com
bine in the fingl efforts of the ladies
of the Cabinet, for the Cabinet is
the representative body at Wash
ington. Everything, of course, will
have to be wound up before the 4th
of March us that will be the begin
ning ol anew era. Naturally,
therefore, the time between now
and then will bo crowded with
tvents of N°fo-
How to Spoil.
To spoil steak —Fry it.
To spoil coffee or tea-—Boil it.
To spoil custard —Bake it too
long.
* To spoil house plants —Water
them too much.
To spoil butter —Do not work out
all the milk.
To spoil pancakes —Bake them
oti a luke-warm griddle.
To spoil a carpet —Sweep it with
a stiff’, half-worn broom.
To spoil a beefsteak—Grumble
all the while you are eating.
To spoil potatoes —Let them lie
and soak in water after boiling.
To spoil scissors —Cut everything
from a sheet of paper to a bar of
cast iron.
To spoil a pair of garments in
their making—Cut them out care
lessly and run all the seams.
To spoil children —Humor them
in everything they happen to think
they want.
To spoil a school —Change teach
ers every time someone in the dis
trict finds fault.
To spoil bread —Use poor Hour
and sour yeast, and let it rise until
too light and it runs over.
Second Marriages.
The mooted question whether
second marriages are advisable
seems to be settled in the affirma
tive by the following bit of philoso
phy' from an undertaker in Phila
'deiphia. He says:
‘■The grief of a wife is usually
much greater tha that of a hus
| band, and both husbands a id wives
j who make the most paroxysmal
demonstrations of sorrow are gen-
I crally the ones whs soonest console
■ themselves with .another conju
gal partner. Experience has
convinced me, however, that for a
! man to marry within a short time
j after the death oflsis wife, or for a
I woman to do so soon after the death
of her husband is ly no means a
mark inf disrespect to the memory
■of the dead. On lihe contrary I
have dome to regard it is a tribute
to their worth, fori have noticed
that it is generally people whojhave
had a happy married life that soon
marry & second time, while those j
whose matrimonial relations have
been unfortunate, aae not as usual
in haste to again adjust the mat
rimonial noose about their necks.’
There are many who can attest
to the truth of the undertaker’s ob
servations, though the (esthetic or
sentimental view of the subject may
be against him. What do your
Household writers think about it?
Hoxjibt John.
About Women Folk.
The two daughters of the gallant
commander of the Confederate for- !
ees, have never married. Miss Mil
dred, the eldest, spends much of j
her time travelling in Europe, and
when she is in America makes her
home at her brother Curtis's, at
Lexington, Va. Miss Mary also
lives with him. Agnes, the young
er sister, died during the war. None
of the daughters’ever married, and
Cuntis is also single. Kenney Lee
and Robert E., jr.. are both married
and are farming in Virginia. Only
one of them has children, and per
haps alone through him will the
Lee family and the Custis family'
be perpetuated.
The $125,000 received for the Ar
lington estate last winter, repre
sents the bulk of the property now
in possession of the Lee family.
Miss Mary resembles her mother
in appearance, and while she is
plain looking she is gifted in intel
lect. A touching story of which
Miss Mary' Lee is the heroine is that
after one of the battles near Rich
mond, just previous to the close of
the war, she and some other ladies
went on the field to render whatever
assistance they could in the care of
the wounded and dying soldiers of
her father’s army. One among
those to whom she went to offer re
lief, was a youth of not over six
teen, who had been fatally shot and
was ready to expire. She Saw the
poor fellow was going to die imme
diately, and being struck by*his
youth and neat attire asked him if
lie had any message to leave be
hind. “Yes.” said he; “my name
is , and my mother lives at
tell her, if you please, that I have j
just seen our splendid commander, I
Gen. Lee, ride by, and that 1 am j
content to die.” That was all. He!
never knew it was his splendid com
mander’s daughter to whom he was
confiding that last message.

Miss Virginia Krehtr, who has
made sVieh a favorable impression
in the comedy now running at Da
ly's theater in New York . is a Ken
tucky woman and is well connect
ed. While we are not advocates of j
women educating themselves for
the stage, we can nevertheless ap
preciate success by one who chooses
that arena. About- three years
since she began to prepare for the
stage, and studied under John W.
Norton, manager of the Grand Op
era House in St. Louis. He had
been Mary Anderson’s first mana
ger, and got a groat name in Louis
ville, thereby. A dozen Louisville
women have gone to Norton since
Mary Anderson achieved success,
and begged him to take them in !
charge. He gave none of them any
encouragement except Miss Dreher,
in whom he at once perceived the
material for a successful actress.
When Miss Drelier had finished her
course of instruction at St. Louis.
! Mr. Norton secured her a place in
j Daly’s Company for her. She be
gun with modest parts but played
them well and made friends. In
1 .ondon last summer she was one of
the must admired of Mr. Palv’s
company. She is a fiiv> ’ ”xm
lookii g lady and the Er
pie liked her full rosy cl
dresses with remarkable
intelligence and refinemt
character that is irreproai
works hard. Such a w.
sure of success, and the tine is not
far distant when Kentucky will lx
accorded the honor of having I ro
il need at least two actresses of Stir
ling merit —Mary' Anderson and
Virginia Dreher.
Uso of Cosmetics.
But few farmers’daughters, I am
! glad to believe are addicted to the
I use of cosmetics. These destroyers
lof complexion and disturbers of
j health obtain very little favor from
| the rosy-cheeked or brunette girls
lof the bright sunshine, pure air,
healthful exercise and wholesome
diet prevalent in the free fields and
| waving forests of thfs glorious land
It has long been acknowledged that
| the compounds for beautifying the
< complexion sold bv the emphyrics,
1 almost invariably ruin the skin and
i broduee prematurely the deprecia
tory effects of advancing age. Wrin
kles and “crows feet” deform the
countenance, and the excretory
pores of the face become clogged
and destroyed by poisonous pastes
so that pilatory diseases are pro
duced which cause pain and un
doubtedly shorten life.
On the other hand, females who
never resort to cosmetics, or other
agency than soap and water and j
soft towels to cleanse and beautify I
their features, retain youthful ap
i pearaaee, and succeed in interost
j mg or charming their friends much
j longer and better than those who
indulge in counterfeit present
ments. And why should they not,
when according to a learned doc
tor, who has recently paid atten
tion to the- subject, the fashionable j
cosmetics (dog the pores, irritate
the skin, and are always prejudical
to the health and beauty of that
organ. He says, lead, mercury,
zinc and bismuth may be absorbed
into the system from their applica
tion to the skin, produce constitu
tional disturbances, and are harm- j
ful in their respective order. Dys- j
pepsia, nausea, constipation or
diarrhoea, colic, emaeipation, tu
| mors, paralysis and weakminded
ness may bo brought on by the
use of these preparations. All eos
| metios belong to either one or the
, other of these classes, produce lo
j cal or systematic injury, and are
therefore unfit and dangerous, to
j use. As counterfeiters of good but j
ter are required by law to at
tach the. true names of their com
pouncs to their packages, lie thinks
a law should be passed requiring
all manufacturers of cosmetics to
print in full all articles contained
in their preparations, and at the j
same time prohibiting,the sale of
those containing the more danger
j mis metals. There is no doubt of
it.
A Mother.
She Might Have Been Queen.
News has reached this city of the
: death of Mrs. Bernice l’anahi Bish
op, the wife of Charles Reed Bish-
I op, at her residence in Honolulu.
Sandwich Islands. For years she
j had been afflicted with a cancer, to
which her untimely end was un
doubtedly due. Mrs. Bishop was
the highest chief in the Sandwich
Islands, her maiden name being
Bernice Ranahi. On the death of
Kainehameha V., the last of the
original line of native Kings, in
1872, she was offered the throne,
but declined it. When King Lun
alilo died in 18, I she was again tcc
ognized us heir to the throne, but
dizain declined it, preferring to re
main in private life. Years ago
she became the wife of Charles R.
Bishop, a native of New York, who
went to the Sanwich Islands in 18-17 j
and, after pursuing various bran-!
ehes of business, finally settled i
down as the senior partner in the j
Banking firm of Bishop & Cos. He ;
has acquired a large fortune, and I
his wife was the wealthiest woman j
on the islands '„.n her own right.!
She was a woman of wide culture,
the leader of the best society in j
Honolulu, and her elegant, grace
ful and generous hospitality is re-j
membereil by all Americans ot;
character who have visited the is-;
lands. She had traveled exten
sively, both in Europe and the Uni
ted States, her lust visit to this
country having been made in 18,(>.
When travelling abroad she was
about fifty years of age.
