The Eden Musec has established Itself at 403 and 405 Seventh street for a limited time Since its opening it has attracted a ciowding patronage. Last Friday was ladies day, and the fair sex took advantage of their orpoitunity. On other days thy exhibition is for men only. The mot'oof the Must-els -Man, know thy self" aud its effort is to give a ginpnic an.itoiiuc.-il exhibition. The crystal maze at 427 Seventh street continues ouc of the popular retorts for amusement-seekers with odd moments to spare. The beauty of this entertainment Is that it is always at its best, it never lags, and long as it is open the fun is wing on. In fact there is no better or worse to it. The amusement Is cntiiely iron, good, and wholesome. The ladies Ji'liO have never seen the baclr of their neck in Trent of them, or their beautiful profiles repeated a hundred times can find it at the crystal maze. Every housekeeper should understand how to select provisions for her table and now to exercise judgment and forc rtiought as well as economy in buying ;hem. To plan each day's bill of rare so rar as to secure a pleatant variety rrom day to day is no simple matter, but requires carefu I thought and management. In order that the food shall be of uniform excel lence the marketing should Ixe done, whenever practicable by the housekeeper herself, so that she can personally tou ;rol her larder and supply the deficiencies before the whole family is made to suffer from its wants. Huerors who habitually tleal with the mistress of a house toon learn, to bo par ticular in serving her, and, though it takes a portion n f her morning twica or even three times a week she will rind that buying her own meats and vegetables instead of leav ing it to a servant, pays for itself In the end. It requires some knowledge and discrim ination to select fish, and there is no bet ter time to learn to deU-raiine their quality than now, when the fish merchants arc trying to accommodate the large number who are unserving the fasts of Lent. There Is a great difference in the keep ing quality of fish. Fresh-water fish live near the surface of the water, and their 'lesh is soft and loose of grain. They do lot keep as long as salt-water fish, aa'd u the case of mackerel, herring and cat fish, lose their fine flavor when k-pl over i few hours. Oily fish are difficult to ligesfc. aaa on that account are not rated as high as fish less fat, though their nutri Uous standard be of a lower grade. All ash should be rigid, with shining eyes mil .Matles. When f resU the gills are moist uid red as coral. The instant they begin 'o evidence a Wenched dryness, pass them ay; they are stale. The best salmon and Mid are known by their narrow shoulders ind small heads and tails. It is said that though we possess the anest market in the world, with the single Exception of Baltimore, we never can nope to buy salmon in its perfection, as It should be dressed before the curd, or white substance, which lies between the flakes of flesh, hns melted and given an oily flavor to the fish. The flesh of the nod should be white and clear, and when served properly is one of the best, as it Is one of the most prolific fish In Ameri can waters. All of ua laugh at catfish, but we buy them, it may be because they are so good wt can't help ourselves, but a fish merchant in the Center Market thinks he has a better reason. -Every man and woiian in these parts,' he said.has either lived or visited during some timeof theirchildhood in the country; tnd the swamps, branche., and even some ditches in Maryland so swarm with mud cats that the bare sight of a catfish on a stall revives the memory of the days we went fi-drtng with pi us, and the recollections get so jumbled up with blue skies, fields of flowers, and trees hanging heavy Avith fruit, that we buy a string, if only for the sake of old times not that there is anj- comparison between the n, for the blue and silver cats are as fine eating- as any game flh in the river, while theiittle ditch wrigglers were not fit to cook. When skinned, a fresh rntllsli will have n silvery shine on its surface, and the flesh will be flecked with daintiest cameo pink. Ab it gets stale it takes on a pallor, nnd the silvery shine disappears. When lobsters are bought alive they Bhould be chosen for their weight and liveli ness. The hen lobster Is preferred for f-oups and sauce, en account of the coral, but for salad; ;:nvor of the male is preferred. MAU3T LADDER. Tlie Impressionist Masterpiece. Artist This is one of those peculiar pictures that one hns to be far off to appre ciate. She And 'way off to paint, I im agine. Harper's Bazar. J frE t AARtErT BA5KCT -f : A -story of the temptation to success is discouraging to talent withoutgeiiius. Suc cess comes to su rew, because the standard of merit is placed so high and the room at the top is so limited. Agreeable mediocrity stands for little. Success doesn't come always to the one who Is as good as the one last to achieve It; he must he Letter, have new nttributes.distinctiveoiiginality, a unique differentiation. Genius produces something entirely individual, unsuggested by antecedants, uninfluenced by standard, it iscreaiiveanddisregnuliug. Talent may produce as good as is, but always with a suggestion of iheexistantand without the individualizing emphasis. An understanding of these considerations help in plating the Marquise Lanza's last novel, "Horace Everett,'' in its proper category. The story is piolix, a virtue in virtuosity. It is rather an impediment to a pleasing effect on the part of this story, for it is a tale conceived on a plane only a trifle above mediocrity, displaying talent, but none or the impassioned vigor, subtle artiessness, swaying spirituality with which genius would have stamped it. It deserves to be judged by the highest and severest standards, for its aim was lofty and its approach all but reaches. Alert preceptionspringsfrom page to page inhopesoffiudingtlicsparScof genius which theanrhor'saccentuatedclcvernessprotnises. But the tru th-forces itself ou t o f nearly every cuapter that many others would have writ ten, not only just as well, but just in the same way. It is indistinctive! Impersonal. But it is clever and the- reflex of girted talent. The fluent descriptions are ag gravatinglycorrectand unexceptional. Oirc waits in vain for the slip that the author doesn't make. She is always truthful; but her fidelity is to the commonplaces. .Most orthecharactersareereatures of this great unindividual, social mediocrity. Steiliug Is an exception to this in a pleasant way. Everett's mother has a possible distinct iveness; but .-he is not pleasant. The novel may be summed up in its dialogue. It posesses actuality, because it is built or just what the average people would nat urally say nnder like circumstances. In this much it is faithful, truthful, natural and real. But to create interest and seal his own and his story's claim to distinctive ness the author must put into the minds and mouths of his people the one word that is most effective at that particular place. We orten find ourselves involved in situations in real life which Jack the sUmiuIaiive dramatic quality It?:ause our wit is not quick in supplying that retort which comes to us afterward with the regret: "If I had only thought to say that." The best constructor or artificial peo ple of real interest is the cue who can fashion their thoughts, words, aud actions of what no after thought can improve upon. Judged by the highest standards "Horace Eterett" falls short. It is not a great book. Iu the scale or general output It ranks respectably above the average. It is a pleasant clever novel. The Putnams in the progiess of their "Heroes of the Nations" series have com pleted nineteen volumes, aud in the last of these they reach Robert the Bruce, very properiy selected as Scotland's hero. Sir Humbert Maxwell has performed the difficult orfice or making clear the motives and events surrounding the period of Robert I. lie lias effected his purpose with singularly happy results, for the history of the Bruce as given by Maxwell is a running narrative of clear record, in cidental vivacity, compiled with scrupu lous regard for the canons of truth, as found in musty manuscripts and seen clearly as possible through the eyes of prejudiced chroniclers or the antagonistic parties. Supplementing a marked current interest in the later day domesticity of the Scots, this narrative of the period of intrigue and blood is iu stimulative coa trast. The romances of Walter Scott preserve only the spirit of these early days. Sir Herbert Maxwell's account of the hero of Scotch independence is an historical work, raithful to fact and scholarly in the neglected minutiae relating to so im portant a subject, yet it is a glowing and inspiring picture of the halcyon days of chivalry, when men were giants and war was carnage. It is a valuable addi tion to the library. In the April number of Current Litera ture Mr. George W. Cable, who has re cently assumed editorial charge of that excellent magazine, gives us a new de partment which he calls the Editor's Symposium." In this, through four pages, he chats pleasantly nnd instruct ively of hooks and criticism and kindred snbjccts. A very delightful department is the result. When Laurence nutton assumed to con dense an account of the literary land marks of Rome into his uniform series of "Landmarks," less than seventy pages, it smacked of assumption, whicli had become presumption, for scarcely could the in teresting spots or literary association in the Eternal City be catalogued in so lim ited a space. The graciousness of his nar rativefor Mr. Hutton always writes at tractivelydispelled so hard a thought, but the fruitrulness of the subject nnd the very gracefulness or the writer leave a tinge of disappointment, after the too-short little book is finished. There is so much unsaid, so much that Mr. Hutton was just the man to say, as every one likes to read it, that he defeats himself in his brevity. This very brevity is suspiciously commer cial, as if the book had been written to round out the Landmark series, and had been curtailed to effect uniformity with the other volumes. The pictorial work is exquisite. There arc eleven pictures, each a gem iu its way, such as yoa would wish to have looking at you continually from a tiny, narrow frame. The Harpers have reproduced the best of the drawings on the cover. Mrs. Oliphant is a rarely brfghtKpman at sixty-eight. Miss Braddnn still a pro lific novelist in her sixtieth year, and Ouida as capable as ever of writing start ling romances, although she confesses that she Is fifty-six years old. Thethird volume of the American supple ment to the Britnnnica is in the hands of the booksellers. It covers the titles from "Laws" to "Maine," A wag said these two points were a good way apart. They arc 700 big pages apart in the supplement. All the subjects arc instructively written about in a lucid and succinct manner, many of them by well-known and highly compe tent writers. For instance, the subject of "Labor Organizations" is by Carroll D. Wright; the "Interstate Commerce Laws" 1 by Mr. John P. Meany, editor of Poor's "Manual of Railroads;" "Improvements in Gunpowder" by Brig. Gen. D. W. Flagler, assisted by Capt. C. A. Clark, of the War Department; "Labor Parties" by Prof. John Bach McMnster.of the University of Pennsylvania; "Iron and Steel" by Dr. Kossller W. Kaymond, of the American Institute of Mining Engineers. These and other namesofcontrlbutorstD the work give a character and guarantee of excellence to the undertaking which cannot fail to carry weight with those desiring to add the Supplement to their reference libraries. Another interesting feature of the present volume is the large number of well-written articles on notable men of the time in all walks of life, American, English nn:i foreign. Among the literature studies ate to be found critiques on Oliver Weudell Holmes, on James Russell Lowell, on W. D. Howells, on Victor Hugo, ou Rudyard Kipling; on the historians, Fiske, Freeman, Fronde, Lecky; on the scientists, Asa Gray, Sir Archibald Gelkiee, etc. The statesmen also are well represented in the volume and ably treated. Among others we find biographies of Gladstone, Presi dent McKinley, W. Q. Grcsham, President Hayes, President Garfield, Secretary of the Treasury Lyman J. Gage, etc. A certain little essay by Sir Edwin Ar nold, has just passed into its fifteenth edi tion in London. It is a discussion of ''Death and Afterward." The subject is of i ntimate interest, aud ft is no wonder that everyone should wisli to Inform himself of the views of Sir Edwin. It Is uu exquisite scientific poem in prose, this little brochure of deli cately phrased considerations. The author shows unmistakably the influence of Ori entalism. He is skeptical. Though he af firms that of future life we can know noth ing with certainty as the conclusion or a logical syllogism or reduced from scien tific denotement, yet he points out the mul tiplictiy of suggestion In philosophy and the subtle indication of science that the afterward is. Sir Edwin's essay will be a thing of scholarly beauty to those strong enough in their own belief to withstand (he insinuations of the incredulous. It will be this aud more, a ground of promise and a boncrm of hope to the searcher in science for the reason of the afterward. The New Amsterdam Company have made an Ameri can edition of this boolc M. Francois Coppce's foudacss Tor cots as pets is so well known that there was great fitness in placing his name first upon the Jury of awards at the recent cat show in Paris. Such other -well-known men as Eraile Zoln, Andre Thcurlet aud Caudle Metides also figured on the list, and were instrumental in deciding that arter this there shall be an annual Exposition Feline Internationale. In the geography of contemporary fiction Louis Becke has pre-empted to himself the broad expanseof the Southern Pacific. He knows his territory well, after years of rowing fiom island to island and group to group. His fruition of this experience and of the intuitive talent and desire for wiitmg are two books of short stories. The first was 'The Ebbing of the Tide." The second is a recent addition to Lip pincott's enjoyable Lotus series, "By Rtef and Palm." Mr. Becke writes entertain ingly localise naturally and with a foice very direct because very human and un compromisingly truthful. Bis stories pos sess the happy faculty of furnishing all the diversion usually expected of fiction, and. furthermore, giving an Interesting insight into the morals and character of the islanders. "The Voyage of the Rattletraps" is quite as original as its title. The Rattle trap wttfc a schooner, but it cruised on the land instead of the sea; it was a prairie schooner, otherwise a covered moving wagon. Iu this vehicle two youths and a toy journeyed through Dakota "Jest fer." They encountered about what cne would expect isolated voyagers to encounterin a primitive land. The adventures are told with appreciative humor, and the illustra tions which the Harpers have provided to accompany the text are even more char acteristic than the text itself is of the country and people described. Hayden Carruth is the writer. In a recent copy of an English magazine, I found, i n glancing through the riy pages, that nearly SO per cent of the adver tisements pertained to articles which enhanced the beauty of the skin, hair, ejes, lips, hands, or figure. Perhaps a similar observation suggested to the anonymous author of "Beauty and Hy giene." the theme of iter book, or to the Harper's, the commercial value of such a book. As the name indicates, it is a treatise on the care of the person. The modest author need not have hidden her self (it reads as if it might have been written by a woman) for she has prepared a valuable book, and one which will find a large following. What woman would not be beautif ulT What sane person would not be healthy? Thus she has them on either horn of the proposition of the book. Cor if a woman Is not sane enough to want to be healthy, she is sure to be vain enough to wish to be beautiful, and the recipes for both are set out in a practical manner In the book in question.

There is the somebody above who escapes personal celticism under the shield of anonymity, and Dr. J. n.

The Llppincotts have published this month his duodecimo, "How-to Live Longer, nnd "Why We Do Not Live Longer." Dr.' Hayes writes on these comprehensive sub jects out of the breadth and depth of his own learning -with a scientific sagacity and homely practicability which immedi ately commends his treatise.

AMERICAN TOBACCO Thercls saidto be a growing belief among American tobacco consumers that home grown tobacco equals the imported ar ticle. Tobacco is. grown in at least a dozen States, Pennsylvania leading in tlie amount of production, while Ohio has 50,000 acres glven'up to the. culture, and an average crop of 30,000.000 pounds. The annual production throughout the entire country is placed at about 500,000 , 000 pounds, and during the past twenty seven years export values and internal revenues collected ou tobacco have en riched the Treasury to the amount of $1,000,000,000. Xhe seed leaf is grown principally in the Connecticut Valley, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wi&consin, and Massa chusetts; the bright leaf in Tirginia and the Carolinas; the "white hurley" In JCenlncky, Wisconsin and Illinois, and the shipping leaf In Kentucky, Tennessee, and Florida. In Connecticut there is hardly a farmer who does not raise tobacco. Tlie Conncc ticutleaf is particularly valuable for wrap ping purposes and also excels in flavor.
