ABOUT CUT FLOWERS.
How to Pack Them For TransmlMUm
Through the Malls*
The packing of flowers is one of those
trivial concerns of every-day life which
most people consider a very easy matter;
but, to judge by the appearance of some
of the packages of flowers which one re
ceives, it would seem that, even in this
simple matter, it is possible to make mis
takes. Of the numberless parcels of
flowers which go through the post every
day, few arrive at their destination in
even fairly good condition, and who has
not experienced the disappointment of
finding into what a collapsed state some
delightful present of flowers has fallen
during its not over-gentle journey by
post or rail? A case has been known of
specimen flowers sent to a show piled
one upon another :a an ordinary band
box. Card board boxes should not be
used o* any account Wooden boxes
arc slightly heavier, but the extra post
age is well laid out in the certainty that
the parcel will not be crushed in transit,
as so often happens to card board boxes.
The boxes should not be more than five
Inches in depth, except in the case of
those employed for larger flowers, such
as arums, when they may be a trifle
deeper. From two and one-half to four
Inches is the most useful depth. Shal
low boxes suitable for this purpose can
usually be obtained from any grocer for
a trifling sum. The box, before the
flowers are put in, should be lined with
a sheet of cotton wool and 'a sheet of
tissue paper above, taking care
that it fits nicely into the corners
and the sides. Then the box is ready
for the flowers, which should be placed
row after row until there is a layer of
flowers, fitting one into the other, all
over the bottom of the box. A great
mistake is commonly made in putting
more than one layer in a box, and in
crowding the flowers one on the top of
the other. This is quite fatal, and if
packed in this manner they can never
travel well. The rows must be as close
together as possible, the flowor heads of
each row should lie on the stems of the
row immediately preceding it, so that
when the box is finished only flowers
are to be seen, and none of the stems
aro visible. Tight packing is much to
bo recommended; the parcels aro rough
ly handled, anc\ unless they are closely
packed, the flowers will shift to one end
of the box. The flowers having been
carefully arranged, anothor sheet of
tissue paper should be placed over them,
and enough cotton wool, to fill up any
space that may be left. One layer of
wool is generally enough. If the box
has a looso cover a nail should be put at
each end to prevent the corner of the
lid from slipping in on the flowers and
crushing them. There is one point to
bo particularly observed. No flowers
oxight to bo packed immediately after
they are gathered, but they should be
placed in water some hours beforehand.
The reason of this- is that the flowers
may have time to suck up sufficient
water to last during the journoy, that
they mfcy not flag so quickly. ? Queen.
A NEWSY COOK BOOK.
Lots of Fre*h Recipes Written Ily n Very
Fresh Editor.
Material is now being gathered for tho
News cook book, which, it is intended,
shall be tho most complete work of its
kind, and will be a great aid to the
housewives of Berkshire. Tho recipes
have been carefully prepared in this
offloo and aro entirely original. A
limited number of advertisements will
be received, for which early application
should bo made. We append a few of
the prescriptions:
Clear Soup ? Take two pints of water,
wash them thoroughly on both sides,
pour into a dish of something and stir
around the kitchen until tired.
Plum Pie? Get some dough, hammer
out a front and back breadth. Lino a
dish with silesia, put in a veneering of
dough, fill the dish with cough drops,
put on the top crusts, feather-stitch
around the edges and bake in a tinker's
furnace.
Pound Cake ? Mix up some flour and
things, put them into a dish, bake for a
while, then screw in the handle and
oommence to pound.
Stomach Cake? Line a small boy with
green apples and cucumbers. This can
be prepared at short notice.
Calves' Foot Jelly ? Get trusted for a
Chicago calf ? they have tho largest
feet? cut off the calf, which can be used
for making hash or chicken salad; wash
the?feet, having first removed all chil
blain^ thicken with glue, add a few
molasses, strain through a cane-seated
chair, pour it into a blue bowl with red
pictures on it, set in the shade to get
tough. Then send it to a sick friend.
Ice Cream ? Dry a piece of ice in tho
eun, stir in some cold cream or vaseline,
fan it until it freezes, garnish with
Christmas greens. This should be served
with the sou p.
Hash ? Chop up every thing, add some
ready mixed paint, then throw it away.
Soft Hoiled Eggs? Put a setting of
eggs into a kettle of hot water at 0:57,
let them boil until tho clock strikes.
Serve on half shell.
To Remove Stains? To remove fruit
stains from a table cloth, saturate the
cloth in benzine, kerosene and coal oil,
sprinkle with gunpowder, apply a
lighted match.
One-two-three Cake ? One egg, two
flour, threo bounce.
An Inexpensive Dish? Buy a five-cent
plate.
To Drop Eggs? Let go of them.
Lemon Pie? Line a pie plate with
pufT paste (see page 5275), put in your
lemons, build a lattice work over the
top and bake three weeks. ? Berkshire
News.
? People who suffer from chapped !
hands should be careful to dry them
thoroughly after they are washed. This :
prevents chapping. IT the hands are al
ready chapped. however, there is nothing
better than camphor ice. This prepar- ;
ation contains no glycerine, a component 1
part of many other ointments used for
this purpose, and consequently of no
use to the large number of persons to
whose skin glycerine is irritat.ng.
? Delicate colors in embroidered hand
kerchiefs can be set by soaking for ten
minuws previous to washing in a pail of
tepid water, in which a dessertspoonful
of turpentine has been well stirred.

harmless impostors.
Hen find Woxjeo Who Ha*? * Deslr# t?
Shine In Society.
They are harmless people, thoso who
are most eager to be thought literary
geniases when they are not; those ^ho
are desirous of being thought wealthy
when they are not. True greatness is
entirely modest. The grandest men
are s mplest and least formal in their
manners and speech. A very common
place and narrow-minded woman once
gained a most enviable reputation for
intelligence and scholarship by simply
carrying about with her a well-worn
copy of "Sartor Resartus." Even some of
her intimate friends were influenced in
their estimate of her by her ostentatious
devotion to this great work, until one of
them suggested that, if the fair but
rather limited philosopher tad the
slightest idea what she was reading
about, she would not have touohed a
page of Carlyle with the tongs. This
woman was a fraud, though a thorough
ly unconscious one. She thought and
said she liked Carlyle. while what Bhe
really enjoyed was her two-penny re
putation as a woman of more than a\e
rage culture.
' There are a great many more of these
accidental reputations than society at
large suspects, and it is an unfortunate
certainty that a very small talent, com
bined with a good commercial instinct
for making the most of it, will take a
man further than the most magnificent
genius which lacks o? despises the ad
vertising instinct Any man who knows
just a little more of entomology, for
instance, than his neighbors writes a
paper ro two for a scii ntific period
ical. and. by judiciously H latlng
copies among his friend.- ac
quires a very pretty though small
distinction in this specialty. Now,
nothing is easier than to makr a largo
roputation out of a small one. It is not
necessary to add any further knowledge,
but simply to spread the news of what
has already been achieved. Every man
or woman who meots "Mr. Blank, the
groat scientist" at afternoon tea adds
more to the popular estimate of his
abilities than would the discovery of a
new species, since it is one of our pet
delusions that the geese we know are as
fine birds as the swans wo haven't met
A certain millionaire answered an in
quiry as to the art of accumulating
riches with tho remark that it was "the
easiest thing in the world after tho first
million." The multitude who had been
led to expect that Croesus would give
thorn a valuable "tip" turned sadly back
to their daily toil. They felt like the
man who, when he was offered soft crabs
to go fishing with, said that he guessed
he'd rather stay home and cook the bait
A fortune which could only bo angled
for with a million strikes the average
ambition as hardly worth a trial. How
ever, this advice, so superfluous in the
connection which called it forth, is an
excollent hint for all who would like to
oxperience the agroeablo sensation of
having greatness thrust upon them.
The first million assures the fortune to
the right man. So the first introduction
as "the great Mr. ," or the first
newspaper mention as a "rising some
body is the drop of suds which assures
the bubble reputation to any one who
can blow it to the proper size.? Kato

HOUSEKEEPING IN PARIS.
Tho lturden* Are Tighter In the French
Capital Than Over Here.
Tho burdens of the housekeeper in
Paris, writes Lucy A. Hooper, are a good
deal lessened by tho fact that bo murn
work is done off the premises. There ;s
no washing nor baking nor stair and
hall sweeping exacted of your own
servants. For tho first named the ser
vices of two washerwomen aro required,
one for the best and table linen and the
other for tho family garments. Among
thofi st named articles figures a largo
lot of dish-cloths, for no French cook,
no matter how moderate her pretensions
may be, will consent to wash out even
one of those necessary adjuncts to her
work. From four to 6ix dozen ' tor
chons"? as the Fronch dish-cloth, or
rather house-cloth, is termed? figure
among the first necessary purchases of a
family going to housekeeping. Theso
when soiled, are thrown into a large
box. with a close-fitting lid, supplied for
the purpose, to await the weekly arrival
of the washerwoman.
The prejudice of French servants
against even the most delicate forms of
laundry work is invincible. I once know
a housemaid who left tho omp.oy of a
family with which she had lived for six
years' because her mistress gave her
Rome silk stockings to wash. She per
formed her task and immediately gayo
warning. "I was not hired to 'soap,
was her indignant remark. In the
same way no cook, however skilled,
will consent to make bread
or pastry. That is the baker s business,
she argues, and it is none of her's. ot
she wiir turn you out any amount of
dainty desserts, puddings and creams
and jellies, Charlotte Russe or pancakes
or fritters, but never a loaf of bread or
a pood American pie.
Ono of the trials of the American
housekeeper in Paris is the extent to
which her power i subservient to that
of the cook. That functionary must and
will do the marketing. She gets her
percentage on every article she p'..
?hascs, and if called upon to relinquish
these perquisites she will incontinent
take her departure. If she is honest,
the extra expense will be but trifling, a
sou on every franc that sho expends be
ing the recognized amount, but if she
has made up her mind to rob her em
ployers tho prices of all kinds of mar
keting will be found to increaso with
extraordinary rapidity.
One thing that tends to make living in
Paris very doliphtful is the fact that
"Mrs. Grundy" has never taken up her
residence there. That is to say, you
can livo as vou like, dress as you liko
and do as you like without asking what
that personage will s&y. ^ou are not
compelled to keep up any particular
style of living to satisfy her exactions.
Nobody questions your right to inhabit
a garret, to go to pay a visit in a cab. or
to keep a single servant. In fact no
body troubles his or her head about the
matter. .
