Packann* tin., November E 2, 1891. Dr. HoluieV GooUreltowshlp. Speaking of the democratic manners of l)r. Ilolmos the Boston Transcript says: “Who has not seen him time and time again within the last few years seated in the Old Corner book store dis cussing the new books amiably with people who came in, and denying neither his wit nor his smiles to any chauce comer of good manners? Until within a few years Dr. Holmes used to go home from King's chapel on Sunday on a horse-car in the most democratic manner in the world, chatting pleas antly with acquaintances and giving all the people in the car the benefit of his witty sallies; for with Dr. Holmes it was not necessary, as it is with a good many humorists, to study up humor in advance; he always had it on tap as it were. In his house he had no airs of greatness or exclusiveness. He was really glad to see people who came to him on any respectable errand, and in his declining years, when he was not so busy a man as he had been, he liked to read his verses to visitors whose interest appeared intelligent.” An accomplished woman who has been adopted by the Seneca tribe of Indians and who takes a deep interest in their welfare and advancement, is Mrs. Harriett Maxwell Converse, who resides in New York city. In 1792 the Senecas adopted her grandfather, giv ing him the name of Ty-ya-hy-ez, which means honest trader. In 1804 her fa ther was adopted by them, and it was but natural that she should have great influence with them. Some four years ago they made Mrs. Converse a chief, she being the first woman to receive such an honor. The3' call her Ya-ie wah-noh, which interpreted is to the effect that she has watched like an eagle over their interests. Mrs. Con verse has many magnificent wampum belts of great value. The universal postal congress, which meets in Washington in 1897, will be an occasion of great interest to man kind. No less than one hundred and fifty delegates are expected, represent ing every phase of the great business, and every part of the civilized world. The event will be of great benefit to this country, since it will bring before cur people the shortcomings of our mail service. Local postal arrange ments are still deplorably behind those of seVbral foreign countries. The chief action of the congress will prob ably be the adoption of an internation al stamp for universal use. The woman suffragists are waging vig orous war on the Pacific coast. The Wom en’s Equal Rights league of San Fran cisco seems to have captured many of the prominent society people there, and swell social events are being made the medium for missionary work, as was the case in New York last winter. The league has secured, maybe im ported,a New Zealander—not a tattooed savage, but just an ordinary, meek white man —and he is telling San Fran ciscans how lovely things are in New Zealand, where they have women may ors and talk of having women members of parliament. An editor out west, having been asked if he ever saw a bald-headed woman, replied: “No, we never did. Nor did we ever see a woman waltzing around town in her shirt sleeves with a cigar between her teeth and run into every saloon she saw. We have never seen a woman go fishing with a bottle in her pocket, sit down on the damp ground all day and go home drunk at night. Nor have we seen a woman yank off her coat and say she could lick any man in town. No, God bless her, she isn't built that way.” “Among our present slang expres sions found in Shakespeare did you know that ‘touched’ was numbered?’' asks a reader of ancient history. “You will find it in ‘Timon of Athens,’ where a servitor of Timon’s having appealed to Sempronius for a loan and been told to try some other of his master’s friends, replied: ‘My lord, they have all been touch'd, and found base metal; for they have all denied him.”’ Hawaii is not the only place where prisoners have been known to be hired out for domestic service. It was dis covered some years ago that long-term convicts in jail at New Castle, Del., were commonly sent on errands about town, and even life prisoners were slightly watehed. A murderess was employed in the jailer’s family and per mitted to go about the streets. A native .officer, who attended the wedding of the duke of York, has been giving his favorite newspaper, upon his return to India, a graphic account ol the festivities. Here is an illustrative gem. “Afterward the chaplain came and performed the ecclesiastical preju dices in accordance with the laws of Christianity, and prayed some preaches out of the Bible.” A case of almost incredible meanness, but one that is well authenticated, is that of a man in Lansing, Mich., whose horse ran away. A brave lad of ten stopped it, turned it around and drove it back to meet the owner. The latter threatened to have him arrested for trying to steal the rig. ' —“Papa,” said Willie, “aren’t you stravagant?” “In what way, my boy?” “You spend a hundred dollars sending me to school for a year. Fifty dollars would buy toys enough to keep me go ing for two years. ” —Harper's Young People. HOUSEHOLD EREVITIES. —Apple Boiled Pudding.—lnto two eggs, beaten light, stir a pint of milk, flour to make a moderately thick bat ter, a heaping teaspoonful of baking powder, and lastly a pint of chopped tart applet, Boil in a pudding mold or covered tin pail, and serve with liquid sauce flavored with jelly, or with hard sauce. —Grated Apple Pudding. —Beat half a pound of sugar and a quarter of a pound of butter to a cream. Add about six grated apples, the rind of two lemons and the juice of one. Stir this well together, then add two cups of Cream or milk, add five eggs well beaten. Line the dish with puff paste, and bake it one hour. This may be made without a crust. —Boston Budget. —Potato Puff.—Take two tcacupfuls of highly seasoned mashed potatoes; add two tablespoonfuls of melted but ter and beat to a cream. Beat the yolks of two eggs and add to the potatoes, then add a cupful of sweet milk. When this is thoroughly mixed stir in as lightly as possible the beaten whites of two eggs; pile on a buttered plate and bake for ten minutes. —Ohio Farmer. —Panned Oysters.—One quart of oys ters, some thin slices of toast, butter, salt and pepper. Have ready some “patty-pan.” Cut stale bread to fit the bottom of these. Toast and lay a piece in each. Wet with oyster liquor and put into each pan as many oysters as it will conveniently hold. Pepper and salt. Put a bit of butter upon each. Arrange all in a large dripping pan, invert another of the same size over it, and bake eight minutes, or un til the oysters curl. Send hot to table in the pans. —llomc. —Potato Ci’oquettes. —The ways of making these are various and many, but the following is as desirable as any, being both good to eat and eas3 r to make. Chop finely a quarter of an onion, a sprig of parsley and one of thyme for each cup of cold mashed po tatoes; mix thoroughly, season rather high and mold into balls. When ready to fry, dip into beaten egg, roll in flour or cracker crumbs and cook for three minutes in boiling lard. A wire frying basket lessens the work of fry ing, but it is not a necessity.—Prairie Farmer. —Chipped Pears. —Take pears not quite ripe, pare and core, and cut them into long, thin strips. To eight pounds of the fruit put eight pounds of sugar, the rind of four lemons cut into strips, the juice of the lemons, one-fourth pound of race or green ginger, and one half pint of water. Boil until the fruit is transparent if held to the light. The ginger must first be scraped thorough ly and cut fine, and the lemon peel should be boiled in water until tender, to remove the bitter taste. Or you may use only thin shavings of the outer rind. —Orange Judd Farmer. —Apple Fruit Pudding.—Pare, core and mince a half-dozen large sour ap ples, mixing them with six large table spoonfuls of grated bread crumbs,three entire eggs,beaten together, two-thirds of a cupful of sugar, half a cupful of Zante currants and the same quantit3 r of seeded raisins, a heaping tablespoon ful of butter, three of flour, cinnamon or lemon peel to taste. Add half a cupful of fruit juice of any kind, or of dissolved currant jelly, stir in enough flour—about three tablespoonfuls—for a thin batter, with a dessertspoonful of baking powder. Steam in a mold or boil in a covered tin pail for three hours. —Good Housekeeping. Hints for Fall Costumes. When I was in Paris in July the French modistes were preparing models for the United States, and one of the best known said that only Amer icans would take draped skirts. Sure ly this is hint enough to warn us not to accept what Paris avoids. During my late visit to this center I found the universal and handsomest skirts were of the godet shape, having smooth sides and front, and the fullness at the back confined to a width of three inches, and lined with grass-cloth or crinoline all the way up to give a graceful, sweeping appearance, while the remainder was faced with the same to fully half of the depth. The skirts were cut to touch at the back, but this does not seem so much out of place in Paris, where the streets are the clean liest of all known, and there are but few handsomely-dressed women that do not drive. The neatest skirts are made with every seam bound with silk tape, and the top corded in place of a belt. All rich materials, like silk, moire, ladies’ cloth, etc., have the j skirts untrimmed; thinner goods may have a tiny cluster of three two-inch bias over-lapping ruffles, a style that never goes out in Paris. Serge, cheviot and such goods have from three to five rows of stitching above the velveteen binding as a trimming. The bias seam up the back is worn.
