For a north room, or any room not too light, nothing is prettier for wood work thou cherry finish—natural, if possible; if not, then imita tion. With this wood work a jiaper ot golden olive ettect, or two shades of dull blue or tcu green or citrine would be suitable. For car pet, if ingrain, one ot the new patterns show ing two shades of a color; in this case maroon or Indian or dull red. Ingrain is preferable to tapestry brussels; but if laxly Brussels ir preferred, then a pattern showing olive ground with figures in olives, dull rods and dull blues will be pretty. For curtains ai.» portieres, if one does uot wish to go to tho ex pense of buying the handsome manufactured ones, tbe best quality of felt cloth, with brsod band of velouiM at the top of the same color, gives very satisfactory results. Care must be observed in regañí to figure. If the wall paper shows a decided figure, then plain cur tains and portieres afford a restful contrast but if the paper gives the effect of one color, then figured or striped draperies are allow able. For summer wear, mattings, instead of cárpete, are much used. They <»me in pretty artistic shades—old pink and shade green, olive and dull red—and cost 40 or M cents a yard. In w inter a targe central rug is used of Brussels or Smyrna, or a square of ingraii with surroundiug bor ler.

The idea that a small torpedo or torpedo boat can most effectually and thoroughly de stroy tbe largest ironclad afloat, if the explo sion takes place immediately against tbe bull of the vessel, is extremely general. Tbe pro tection of the hulls of these vessels against attacks by submarine torpedo boats »Uerefore, received wide attention. SiLVKii, generally a very desirable metal, is a source of great annoyance in the manufacture of white lead, for if present in an appreciable quantity it spoils the color of the finished pro duct, owing to the well-known black ening effect of light upon the salts of silver. A cam of naphtha or benzine, ar ranged with a closely fitting cover, is a convenience for cleaning »crews, bolts or other »mall work in a machine shop. A wire basket makes a good ladle. Work in this way is kept SUBMARINE LIGHTS FOR TORPEDO BOATS. The accompanying cut illustrates a method bright and clean, and agreeable to proposed by Mr. E. F.

Briefly, this plan consi-ts In pro viding the bull with a series of bull’s eyes bolow tbe water line, through which a pow erful light may be thrown to illuminate the surrounding water. Alongside of each bull’s eye is a glass covered opening, through which a close watch of the water may be main tained, and the approach of a torpedo noted. Commenting upon the probable effectiveness of this method. Mr. Celis says: “Is there anything to prevent it (the ironclad) from W hilk George Newby, aged twenty- exploding the torpedo or torpedo boat by one, Mary Wilson, aged seven, and means of a dirigible torpedo before it comes within the proper distance to do the barm?

T hk latest “cattle queen” of the West is Mita Kitty Wilkins, of Idaho, a tall blonde, twenty-three years of age, a fine horsewoman, and a dead shot. Though called the cattle queen, as a matter of fact horses are her specialty, and she owns no less than eight hundred, besides thousands of cattle.

French words on bills of fare and in cook books «-cur so frequently that an English rendering of some of those oftenest used will bo found convenient, and is given as follows: “Au gratiu”—dishes prepared with sauce and cram I» and baked; "bouillon”—a clear soup stronger than broth, but uot as strong as con somme; “consomme”—clear soup or bouillon toiled down till very rich; “croquettes”— minced fish or fowl made into shapes with sauce and fried; “matelote”—a rich fish stew with wine; “marinade”—a liquor of spices, i vinegar, etc., in which fish or meats are steeped before cooking; “ragoul”—a rich browu stew with vegetables, mushrooms, etc.; “salmi”—a stew of game, cut up and dressed when half l-oasted; “souflee”—a very light whipped pudding or omelette; “vol au veut’ —patties of very light puff ]>aste, made with out a mold, and filled with meat or preserves An Athlete’s Advice to Amateurs. A profcssiclal * athlete advises amateurs not to imptie upon the stomach by tbe aid of medicines. Exercise should be avoidtl early m the morning Wore breakfast on an empty stomach. The air is very unwhole some early in the morning, and until tho'gun has purified it, to breath it freely is injurl ous. Malarial and chest diseases are apt to be taken. People who are not professional athletes cannot stand the fatigue of exercire before breakfait, and it even weakens tlw regular professional ones who are ignorant. The system is weaker wheix a person rises than at any other time during the day. Th* proper way is to rise an hour or so after tbe sun is up, take a light breakfast, and after the meal ha» thoroughly digested take tin exercise. Tho experiment of the Magdeburg hemi spheres, illustrating the pressure of the air, can bo cheaply and easily performed. La Nature gives the following directions for do ing it: Take two glass tumblers; p'oco a bit of lighted candle in one and cover it with the other, first placing a piece of moistened blotting paper between them. A Liberal Use of Disinfectants. It matters not how good your plumbing may be, the use of disinfectants is advisable Your security will be greater if every week y»ii use a di-anfectant liberally. Ous tlist costs very little and is perfectly odorless i> mado by dissolving n heaped teaspoonful of nitrate of lead in a quart of boiling water, stir it with a stick and then add to it a pail of cold water. This is odorless and will not stain. It costs about throe cents, and if it is thrown once a week down the bath tub closet and stationary wash bowl it will be money well spent. Another disinfectant may lie prepared, only use something of the kind reg ularly on a certaiu day. If a day for doing a thing is fixed it generally get» done; if “once n week” means any day it is often forgotten. I A Dainty Way to Make Chocolate. A dainty way to make chocolate is to set an earthen pot iu a kettle of boiling water; in this place a quart of tiiifc and cream mixed. I Stir into this when it is hot a paste made by mixing three heaping tablespoonfuls of grated chocolate with a little cold milk. Let this boil for two or three minutes and serve very hot. If the chocolate is sweetened, it is bet ter not to add sugar, but to let each one add it at the table if it is not sweet enough; but if the unsweetened chocolate is used two dcs- sertspoouful» may be put in while it is cook- I M rs . B aker ,of Embry, Kan., awoke her husband the other night and told him to go for the doctor, for she had a tremendous attack of cholera morbus.

Tbe cut hero given shows two side tables or shelves, one folded down and the other raised ready for use. l ick of oxygen. As soon as the air begins to cool it contracts, and a partial vacuum is produced in the tumblers, the wet paper forming a practically air tight joint, and the whole apparatus can be lifted by tho upper tumbler, the pressure of the outside air being •uffieieat to hold tho lower one in place. The paper separating tho tumblers is often broken by the expansion of the air in tho upper juml.lcr, which is not rarefied by the caudle; but this doas not interfere with the success uf tho cxfjcrimeut, and is only another illus tration of the atmospncric pressure. A FOLDING TABLE. The leaf or top is first hung by hinges to a back strip fastened to the wall with screws. The front of the leaf, when raised, is sup ported by brackets which are fastened to the wall by hinges or butts. When these bracket orc swung in against the wall tbe leaf fall down and is out of the way, being flat against tho wall, as is shown in the second figure of tne cut Housewives will hardly fail to ap preciate the convenience of similar tables in dining rooms and kitchens. These folding tables may be made at a »rifling expense. A NOVKL school commencement was held at the New York Trade Schools on Friday last.

At formal, public dinners, you nay expect a long menu, but in dinners tn private bouses you ought to be content with some thing simple. But it is at such houses that expense is carried to a point of ostentation, and, therefore, becomes vulgar.

The dishes can hardly to totter or more numerous at privaje houses, but their •ccompauiments are altogether more elab orate and costly. I know of private dinners for twenty, where the flowers in the dining room have cost J300, and where the menus are wc-rks of art, done by hand, at $40 to $50 each.
