Tito empress of Austria ia the boat foynl hoU8ol < oojor ) in Kuropo. She Is as thoroughly ncqimlntoil with tlio dotnlla of the Imperial Austrian kitchoti as her liusband is with the details of the im perial Austrian government. 3hc super intends the household nfTalrsof the big palace at the Austrian capital with the greatest caro. Slio rocolvos personally , roads niul nets upon reports from cooks , * butlers , keepers of llio pinto nnd keep- ora'of tlio Hnon , says n correspondent of thn rJovv VorK Sun. Cooking devices which. have become inconvonl'int or un- tiquatod ftro uboUshcd only at her com- initnd. Now methods of preparing or / orvinff food nro adopted only at her ttuggcstion. Chaiitrcs in the personnel of the establishment are made for the most part only in obodtonco to her orders ) . Consequently n person can cat , drink , sleep and bo served boltor in her house than in any ether in Kuropo. The kltehon In which the food for the bluest blood of Austria is cooked is a huge room with all the arrangements ,1x1 cAch end for preparing fish , fowl and roast for tlio table. Fifty chickens can ) > o cooked at once on ono of the big whirling bpltn. Against the niilovulla from lloor to coiling stttiid scores Upon scores of dialling dishes. In tiicso dishes , all of wltich are Bolf-warminc , the meats are car ried to the carving-room , whence they are returned to the kitchen ready to bo served. The boiling and baking und frying and carrying and cutting occupy u small regiment of servants. Twonty-llvo rnialo cooks , in white clotliOH , dross , spit , season and stuff the inouta. As many fomulc cooks prjparo tlio vegetables , the puddings and the salads' . A dozen or more boys hurry the 'birds , fish and joints from the kitchen to the carving room , whore long lines of carvers slice and joint everything laid before thorn. ' 'i'lio kitchen utensils till a big room , opening into the kitchen. This room is the ideal of Gorman housewives. The high walls are covered with pans , kcttlqs , griddlo-t and covers , which shine as only German hands and Gor man muscles could make them shino. There are sou ) ) tureens in which a big hey might .bo drowned , kettles in which twins could iilay hoiiio , and pans which vouU hold half a do/un little Hans and Grotchoiis. In short , about every cul inary utensil on the wall is of the h'jroio bi.o , BUL'gcsUvc rather of the Missouri barbecue than of the feasts of crowned heads and diplomats at one of the lirst of courts. For days before the great court fes tivals the whole Austrian court kitchen r staff , from the "head court cooking * inuster" down to the youngest scullion , ' work like mad , The chefs hold re peated consultations in their council I chamber , often debating hour after ' hour with all the earnestness of u par liament or congress concerning the best methods of preparing fowls , sauces , , , iiiiko3 ( and. .soups. The menu , asselcctoti by the chefs , is submitted to the master "of the provision department , so that ho may immediately order from the city whatever the collars of the castle lack. The Austrian court dinners are fa mous on the continent. The delicacies which result from the protracted meet ings in the council chamber of the chefs are often so line that favored guests not infrequently observe the old German fashion of taking a choice bit home to their friends in the name of the em press and with her best wishes. All that remains of a court feast or dinner is sent to the Aleneso hospitals. On the flays just after the banquet the empress is very busy looking ever tlio reports liud inventories of the frau head keeper of the nankins , and the frauloin head keeper of the tablo-doths , and the herr head guardian of the imperial china , and a dozen other like functionaries with jointed titles. She reviews all these communications with conscien tious care , and orders with strict atten tion to minute details- the replacement of all that has been lot , broken or de faced.

This train should always bo two yards and a quarter long , un- trimnicd ; with a niching under of taftPtas or inousselino do sole.

Thi\v marry and have children before they do mustaehcrf. They are fathers of twins before they uro the proprietors ( It two pairs of pants , and the little girls they marry nro old women bolero they ttro twenty years old. Occasionally ,0110 of these gosling mtirriagos turns out all right , but it is ix clear case , . of hide , \ ( thera was n law against voting galoots sparking nnd marrying before they hnvc cut all their teeth wo Mippo o the little cusses would evade it in some way. But there ought to bo n sentiment agalns ) it , It is time enough for those bantams to think of tlnding a pullet when they have raUod money enough to buy n bundle of luth to build n lion house , . Hut they see a girl who loolib cunning and they are afraid there nro not going to bo enough to go round nnd thov begin to spark ronl tnrv , and lioforo they are nwaro of the sanctitv of the mnrringo relation they are hitched for llio. and before they o\vn \ ncook stove or n bedstead they hnvc got to getup up in the night nnd go after the doctor , so frightened that they run themselves out of breath and nbuso the doctor be cause ho does not run too. And when the doctor gets there , there is not llnnn enough in the house to wrap up the baby. Always \Vnmtui In the Case. The host of men develop unexpected mental twists sometime ! ) in their lives , generally after they have passed thu middle term of Hfo , snyfi n writer in the Doctor. Able lawyers , doctors , tonch- orsi brainy inon allot thorn suddenly declare in fivvorof Spiritualism , Iludd- lilsm , or eomo other crankism , exhibit ing n belief in the shallow and absurd that no ono knowing thnir former lives would believe them guilty of. Goncr- orlly the wish is father to the deed in tin unopocted sense , and thn desire to ac complish a certain result leads the en thusiast to bollovo that is nctlmllv ac complished. Tlio death of a dearly beloved - loved relative , and the heart rending reaming to bridge over the separation n somewnylmvo unsettled many minds on n uinglo point , and led them to accent the bosh of spiritualistic sharpers. In others the sexual Impulse is the loading motive , and the victim , most frequently n man , is caught in the tolls of some voluptuous "priestess. " it is curious that the male ' 'ncai-chor , " or whatever lie is called , who hangs with breathless interest upon the communications from the departed , seldom receives them through n medium of his own sex. It is woman in this case as in every other. Darn i 111 : In Trench Convents. While speaking of mending , I will describe the darning taught by the nuns in French convents , who nrobably do the most beautiful and elaborate needlework in the world , writes Emma M. Hooper in the Ladles' Homo Jour nal for October. Silk , cashmere , lltxn- uel , and in fact all material except cot ton fabrics nro taken and the rent cut around to form even edges , then it is matched with n plcco of the goods , which is basted on the wrong side of the tear. Ravolings of the fabric are pulled from a straight piece of tlio fabric and a long , line "darning needle threaded with ono , discarding it as BOOH as it be gins to wour line or rough. The darning is done ever the raw edge , of the tear , taking the edge as the center , ilud putting in two or three stitches on each side of it , extending thus ou the now plcco , but not across it. Do the work oil the right side , and take up small stitches both over and under the neodlo. When the raw edge bus boon entirely covered up rip the bast ing threads , lay a slightly damp cloth ' on tlio right si'do of the darn and iron it with i'moderately warm iron. A \Vonmn'fl Ijontr ilorscunclc Klile. A small black-oycd woman , about thirty-live years of ago , giving the inline of Mrs. Mdpstcd , arrived in the town of Warren -on horseback on the evening of the 15th inst. , and stayed ever night at the homo of Henry Wliooler , writes a correspondent ot the St , Paul Globe. She was up bright and early the next morning and on tier way to La Crosse , which she expected to reach that day. She hud left Denver , Col. , .luiio 20 , on horseback and was on her way to Itoohostor , N. Y. , expecting to go'as fur as Chicago with her horse anil the rest of the way by rail. She made she trip two years ago from Rochester to Denver , having her horse shot dead under her by a doer-huntor within thirty miles of Denver. On the last trio she used a saddle , but this year she has a blanket on tbo horso's back instead. She carries a revolver and gun with her , and when she started hail a largo St. Bernard dog , but ho wont mad and she was obliged to shoot him. She had a quiet way about her which was attractive , and was as quick as a Hash in her movements. Wive * on a Strike. I hnvo not hoard what the wives have decided to strike about , writes James Payn in the Illustrated London News , nor do I l < now , of my personal knowl edge , that they have anything to com plain of. Any movement in that direc tion scorns to mo quite uncalled for , and liable to promote dispute where all should bo pcn.cc and quietness ; but when I ventured to say so to a feimilc loader of the projected movement , she replied sweetly : "Your remark re minds of the capitalist who made 20- 000 n year out of his workmen , and when asked to give them an extra sixpence - ponce it day and reduce their hour * of labor from sixteen to fifteen and one- half , replied , 'Good heavens , sir , would you pnraly/.o capital and drive com merce out of the country11" ! ' I wonder what she meant. Society In Now York. Society in Now York dilTers from tlmt in all ether cities in America , as does that of Paris from nil others in Franco , says a writer in the Ladies' Homo Journal. It is the great , rich metropo lis , the "carpet bag city , ' ' the town to which the rich people of all the world tend , that is. of the American world , ( not to _ speak of its being a great Gor man city , a great French city , and a great cosmopolitan jumbloof all the na tions of the world. ) Behind this glit tering kaleidoscope still remains the fact that Now York has an old aristo cracy , some of whoso memborH are still rich , and still in the fashion. Moro of thorn are poor , but- proud , and some of them shut their modest doors in the arrogant faces of the purse-proud "nouveaux riches. " llnlr. According to- the customs of Chinesu society the wife of the Chinese minister to this country will comb her hair up from her forehand to show that she is marriqd. _ Her tresses roach to her feet , and M > dillicult is the task of dressing thorn that onuavrangouioiitlastsb'ovoral days.

The maids dress their back hair in n queue and arrange a bang , one nnd a half inches deep , from ear to ear. A bit of coquetry is displayed by allowing n single look to lloat loosjoly in front of the fuco nnd ever the shoulder. The hair of the Chinese girl is never cut , nnd as n result of the splendid euro bo- stotvod it grows luxuriously. Jlor.VtOo. , proprietors o ( the Willow Springs Dis tilling Co. , glvo an interesting account of the character of spirits nnd alcohol , as to their rulntivo value in articles of food and drink , claiming that only the pnro spirits , which nro made absolutely noutrnlshould MO ubod for drinking and medicinal purposes , while the use of crude alcohol , although rectified nnd odomcd , should bo limited to mechani cal purposes.
