Sewing- and Cooking- Taught in Boston Schools. SOME DISHES THAT TEMPT THE APPETITE Work That Would do Credit to the Professional Needle Woman. It was a pretty display that met the eyes of the invited guests as they entered the hall of the Wintbxop school, iu response to the invitation to the sewing exhibition. And. it was not merely a pretty sight, but a most satisfactory and encouraging one.

There was a long line of tables filled with specimens of sewing done by the girls of the school, and at the side was a work table, where a group was busy draughting patterns and fitting dresses. The work that was shown would have done credit to a class of grown women, practiced seamstresses, and it is true that many a grown woman could not begin to do the work so well as these girls have done. In the first place the machine, although a marvelous assistant, no doubt, is elbowing the good old fashioned hand sewing out of sight, and it is in great danger of becoming a lost art. Or one would better say it wus in danger, for, happily, the instruction now given in the public schools is restoring this industry to its proper place, and if they follow when they leave school what they have learned while there, these girls will rival their grandmothers in fine needlework. The sewing was beautifully fine, and when the visitors read on the accompanying cards the names and ages of the little seamstresses the admiration deepened to wonder.

For instance, there was a child's kilt suit, made of a bright pretty plaid for a boy of two or three years of age. There was the kilted skirt, the little vest with the cutest pockets, and the jaunty cutaway jacket piped with black silk braid, and finished with gilt buttons. This was the work of a little girl of 12 years of age. She made every stitch of it, even to the putting in of the vest pockets, preparing the piping and making the button holes. It was as good a piece of work as would come from the hands of the experienced needlewomen.

Near this was a dress, or more properly a tea gown, cut and made by a lC-year-old girl. It was of garnet wool, was fitted in at the back in princesse fashion, and and had a loose front of old rose surah smocked at the top in pointed yoke fashion, and hanging thence iu graceful folds to the feet; the front was finished by revers of the wool and was tied across with ribbons which matched. The foliar and the cuffs of the sleeves were of the surah. This rather detailed description has been given in order to let those who were not there know something of the scope of the work, and to prove that the training that a girl gets in the public school will enable her to become self supporting when she leaves. A sewing exhibition usually suggests an arraj of towels, dish wipers and handkerchiefs, more or less well hemmed; but this one was a revolution.

To give readers some idea of the scope of the exhibition, a list of the articles exhibited is here appended: One bag, 2 sleeves, 3 sets of pillow spreads, 27 pairs of pillow slips, 22 undergarments, 5 towels, 0 napkins, 47 skirts, 10 flannel skirts, 9 dolls' garments, 106 aprons, 14 nightdresses, 47 dresses, 1 boy's kilt suit, making 301 pieces in alt This all represented handwork, and every piece was finished with a greater or less degree of elaboration. A pretty woolen dress, made with a simple English skirt and blouse, was finished with the most beautiful and even lines of feather stitching around the skirt and on the blouse. It was the work of a girl of 13. The "white work," as the sewing on cotton is termed, would show well beside any similar exhibition. Everything was accurately cut and well made.

It should be understood that these pieces are not made especially for the exhibition, but they are given as a fair sample of the children's work, and are taken from their work of the year. Of course, only those who do careful, excellent work are allowed to exhibit; that is understood, and it serves as an incentive to the best effort, as every girl feels it an honor to be allowed to have her work at the exhibition. The cooking exhibition, the first ever given, by the way, in this school, although the school was one of the earliest to avail itself of the school kitchen instruction, was in one of the class rooms adjoining the hall, and was as much a center of interest. Miss Hope, from school kitchen 1, liad come over to superintend the arrangement and to look after the pupils, and she looked as happy as the girls themselves. The exhibition was common sensible in the extreme, and showed better than anything else could do the practical side of that branch of work.

Nearly every one spoke of the absence of fancy dishes and of the presence of those that came under the head of necessities, things that every family must have in spite of everything. There were 104 dishes in the exhibition, and they were arranged so tastefully that they made one hungry to look at them. There was fish balls, fried such a delicate brown; light, sweetbread, several loaves, gingerbread, blanc mange, plain pudding, apple pie, white cake, doughnuts, toasted crackers, toasted bread, potato soup, oatmeal, lemonade, mashed jota-toes, baked apples with oatmeal, broiled chops and mashed potatoes, fried, boiled, baked and Lyonaise potatoes, stewed rice, custard, both boiled and baked, steamed suet pudding and sauce, and xneaaud potato pie.

"Girls are queer." "Why bo?" "Why, when that pauper Bolus was married to Miss Stocksanbonds, the heiress, she looked tickled to death when he endowed her with all his worldly jfoods." Harper's Bazar. of a Diamond. A vory curious case has been exercising the authorities at the Cape. In accordance with the law which regards as stolen every diamond which a man sells or Lis in his possession, unless its origin and pedigree are registered at the detective department, a man brought up for registration the other day a large diamond, worth some thousands of pounds, which had, he alleged, been given to him long ago by his sweetheart. His story was that a certain lady, still living, and now the wife of another man, had found the stone and sent it to him some fifteen or twenty years ago, inclosed along with a feather in a letter, begging him to accept it as a keepsake.

The faithful lover had kept it all this time, he said, but now, being hard up, wished to sell it He demanded, accordingly, that the detective department should supply him with a permit. The detective communicated with the lady. She, however, being a married woman, seemed in no way anxious to have a foolish romance of her callow youth revived, and professed to have no memory of any such transaction. Thereupon the mother of the claimant rummaged about and discovered the original autograph letter, feather and all There it lies at the detective office a faded relic of a sentiment of long ago. It is a composition pervaded by as little wisdom as is usual in such things; but accident has attached to it a value more substantial than any, perhaps, which the recipient put upon it "when we two parted in silence and tears." The latest news is that the authorities believe the story, that the genuineness of the whole affair is in fair way to be established, and that the happy owner will soon be enriched by the proceeds of the diamond which has had so strange a history.

Cape Colony Letter. Glass Railroads. Attention has been called to one of the greatest novelties in the construction of street railroads. Glass sleepers, introduced by Mr. Lindsay Buckill and Mr.

W. Siemen, of Dresden, have been tried with such satisfaction that it is now proposed to make broad, longitudinal sleepers of glass, having a groove in the upper surface, and so combining in themselves the functions of both sleepers and rails. This would do away with the necessity for separate iron rails, with their fastenings and other tomplications. In a paper by Dr. Schott it i9 shown that by properly tempering glass with oil this very brittle substance "can bo made, mass for mass, stronger than steel, and practically unbreakable.

This being the fact, may we not soon expect to see railroads using huge quantities of this plentiful substance for rails and for otter purposes for which iron is now used? St. Louis Republic. Where New York Churches Are Building. The geographical situation of the ohurchos on which these sums were expended is worth noting. Of the credited to the Roman Catholic church all but $230,000 was expended above Eighty-ninth street.

Of the spent by the Protestant Episcopal church all but $50,000 was spent or is to be spent above Seventieth street. Three hundred and seventy thousand dollars of the Presbyterian $480,000 lias been spent north of Seventy-second street. All but $40,000 of the $275,000 of the Methodists' money north of Seventy-fifth street, and a similar trend and proportion with all the denominations. New York Press. Byron's Boatman.

The Greek boatman, Chazes by name, who used to serve Lord Byron has just died at Missolonghi, and been honored with a state funeral by command of the Mng, the public buildings at Athens being draped in mourning for this brave survivor of the Greek war of independence. It is sixty-six years since Chazes rowed the poet through the storm that caused his fatal illness, but to him Byron remained forever young and forever glorious, as man, as poet and as the would be deliverer of Greece from the yoke of the Turks. Harper's Bazar. Improvement In Electric Lights. In the new hotel at Tampa, the electric lights in the sleeping apartments will be so arranged that they may be made to burn with any degree of brilliancy by turning on or off in the same way as a gas jet or kerosene lamp is regulated to give more or lesa, light.

This is the very last invention isoelectric lighting and will overcome the greatest objection to electric lights in bedrooms, which by all former appliances give their full capacity when used-Tampa Journal.

A GYPSY'S DREAM BOOK. Nearly Every Dream Means Something-. THE ORACLE OF THE SUPERSTITIOUS. Impressions During Sleep. Extracts Prom the Book.

A book has just been published, written by a real gypsy, in which the import of many dreams are told. For instance it says if one meets an angel while asleep it will bring joyous tidings. If the angel does not approach you it is a sign that your life is evil, and a warning to reform. To dream of meeting the devil is also a good sign. Supertitious people may dream of seeing this arch enemy of mankind.

If so, it foretells that they will go away from home to be absent some time. It also shows that they will be fortunate in life. To a -oung girl it is a sign that she will either be well married and leave home, or leave for some other reason. According to the gypsy, to dream that you bathe in clear water is a sign that you will enjoy good health; if muddy, the death of relatives or friends. To see a bath, anger; to take a warm bath denotes happiness; if you take one either too hot or too cold, domestic troubles.

If you" undress without going into the water yon may expect trouble, but it will soon pass away; a sea bath is a sign of honor and increase of fortune. Actresses bring joy or sorrow according to the way they are seen. To see one play, misfortune; if you talk with her you will have success in what you undertake; if you make love to her your lifie will be joyful. If you dream that you enjoy her acting you will meet great troubles. To dream of garters signifies weakness, no matter what kind they are or how seen.

Laughter is a sign of tears. If any one dream that he or she is ascending to heaven, or is already enjoying its delights, it shows that some joyful event is to happen, such as the birth of an heir to childless people, good fortune to those who are poor, distinction to the wealthy and high honors to the ambitious. If lovers have such a dream it foretells an early marriage under the most auspicious circumstances, and that their wedding will bo attended with troops of congratulating friends, who will shower presents upon them. On the other hand, to dream of seeing hell denotes that the dreamer's life is a bad one, and an intimation to him of reformation. To see, in your dream, one or more houses burning, but ryt wholly destroyed, signifies, for the poor, that they will become rich; and for the rich man, that his riches will be augmented; but if the fire is furious, and the houses fall down, the dreamer may expect losses, disappointment, shame and death.

To see a coffin in your dreams signifies that you will soon be married und own a house of your own. This is a dream girls are always wishing- for, says the gypsy book. If any one should be so unfortunate as to dream that he or sho was present at a happy und jolly wedding, it denotes that they will attend a funeral; it will not necessarily be at the burial of either of the persons you dreamed you Baw married, but you will undoubtedly be called to mourn some friend or relative. To go to weddings when one is wide awake is exceedingly pleasant, but we should be careful how we dream about them. To dream of being married yourself foretells your death.

For a girl to dream of raking newly mown hay is a sign she will be married before the hay is eaten. Young fellows who dream of raking hay with their sweethearts had better get ready their necks for the matrimonial noose, as they are past praying for. To kiss the earth shows sorrow and care; to kiss the hands of a lady, good luck; if you kiss her face you will be successful in love and trade, through courage. To be kissed signifies disagreeable visitors. To dream that you see a person hanged, or that you are hung yourself, denotes that you will rise to great honor, and that you will better your fortune by marriage.

For a girl to dream that she was so sleepy in church as to nod toward the minister, is a 6ign she will have a young parson for her husband; if a young man dreams this, he will be apt to make up to the minister's daughter, provided his position warrants it, and if not, that he will marry a girl noted for her piety. To dream of a widow, signifies a reward; to dream you are a widow, portends death or disappointment To dream of a widower denotes strifo and quarrels. To seem to bo making excuses in your dreanis, shows that you will tell lies. If you dream that your mouth is 6topped by a gag, it denotes that you will soon thereafter be kissed by a pretty girl. To a young girl such a dream predicts that sho will see some gentleman who takes her fancy, and perhaps will fall in love with him.

A cat signifies treachery of friends and disappointment in affairs of love: if a cat appears to be lying down, or sleeping, you will but partially succeed in what you undertake; if the cat is fighting or appears to be in a rage, you will be robbed. For a rich person to dream that he is charitable signifies loss of fortune; if a lady dreams it, she will bestow her affections on an unworthy person. To fancy yourself young denotes tliat some unexpected news will reach you. To dream of going up a ladder foretells the possession of wealth. To win at gambling means the loss of a friend; to lose, you will change your residence.

Scissors signify quarrels between lovers, disputes of married couples and trouble in business. Needles mean deceit and mischief. If a girl dreanis of a rich man, she will marry a shiftless and needy fellow. Playing ball or seeing it played foretells the speedy receipt of money. New York Press.

Touiis AVonien "Who 'loot the flom. If any ono cares to wander out in the direction of Arsenal avenue, Indianapolis, any dark or moonlit Thursday night they will hear the soft notes of a cornet and the loud blasts of a tuba. It is the practicing chorus of ten eminent and talented local young ladies, who have formed an orchestra for their own amusement and are bound to win under the leadership of one of the city's professors. It was their original intention to have a thoroughly organized. band of twelve, but two of the party lacked confidence in their lung ability to blow a horn and resigned.

The other ten are full of application, are self supporting and feel that if they are capable of buying their own bread and butter, equal to a man, they certainly can be with him in tooting an instrument. Said.one of the young ladies: "We are not doing this expecting to make a public exhibition of ourselves, but for our own amusement. We prefer to spend our evenings that way rather than in playing progressive euchre and other light-as-air ways. I bought my horn last January, and one evening my brother came to my room and said, 'You will never learn to play that I was beginning to feel a little shaky about it myself, and when he said that to me I was bound I would learn to play 'that thing' if it took four years. I flatter myself that I am doing right well.

We have learned a serenade, the music of which is soft and pretty, and as an encore for, of bourse, wo expect an encore we have learned 'Annie "Indianapolis Sun. Bringing Ice to Town. Seven hundred thousand tons of ice are stacked on the shores of Lake Champlain and Lake George. The ico harvesters had expected to ship most of this by boat to tho city storehouses and depots at the opening of navigation. The regular ice barges will not lock through the Cham-plain canal, so here is the difficulty.

A fair average of IT tons per car would require 750 trains of 40 cars each, and if six such trains could be loaded and sent per day, which, with the single track road, is doubtful, it would require 125 days of steady work. On the other hand, if water transportation is chosen on account of lower rates, at 150 tons per canal boat, it would require 3,300 canal boats to bring it to tide water. Last year, which was exceptionally good for boating, only 2,000 boats were cleared from the Whitehall office south. The boatmen propose to take advantage of the necessities of shippers, and will largely increase their rates. They are demanding $3 per day for the use of theit boats.

Many of the ice companies have brought their barges up the Hudson and propose to transfer tho ice from the canal boats to the barges, many of which hold 1,200 tons, thus saving some time in the uso of the canal boats, but causing considerable loss of ice through waste in handling so many times. It is estimated that Essex county is some $500,000 wealthier through the ice bonanza this winter. New York Press. Tlte OIl Napoleonlsts of Corsica. It now leaks out that when M.

Carnot visited the "house of Napoleon," at Ajac-cio, a collision between some of the Republicans Reactionists who had gathered outsido was only averted by the prudence displayed by the authorities. A few Republicans, burning with zeal, and animated by the wish to get up a political demonstration, began singing the Chant du Depart. Immediately the Reactionists replied to the challenge with the Ajaccienne, one of the verses of which is as follows: "On your knees, citizens and brothers, his shade his descending among us in our squares and streets; let only the name of Napoleon be heard." Matters were looking very black, when the authorities intervened and succeeded in restoring order. London Telegrapli. A Uotanlcal Museum.

Dr. Rothrock, professor of botany at tho University of Pennsylvania, is preparing for the establishment in his department of a museum, which promises to be of unusual industrial importance. Few steps that tho institution has taken lately tend to bring it into as close contact with the manufacturing interests of the country as this seems likely to do. The new collection, to be called the museum of economic botany, will consist of specimens of all kinds of woods, vegetable fibers, grains and drugs, arranged so as to illustrate the processes of manufacture from the raw product and the various uses to which each material may be put. New Orleans Picayune.

A Portrait for the White House. A portrait of Mrs. Angelina Van Bnren has been hung in the White House. It is a half length figure and in evening dress. The whito gown has the decollete, pointed bodice, quite like the present fashion.

The sleeves are short, and over the lace ruffle of the right arm falls a spray of pale pink morning glory. This is the only color in the toilet. One white gloved hand holds the other glove, and in the left hand is a mull handkerchief trimmed with lace. The dark hair is very smooth, and well toward the front is r. band of pearls.

What is said to be the largest shad ever caught above tidewater in the Delaware river has just been taken in the net of William Smith, an old fisherman, at the Lambertville, N. fishery. It measures 81 inches in length, 8 inches in breadth and 5 inches in thickness, and weighs 13 1-2 pounds. A large meteor was seen from Mason City and other places in Iowa and struck somewhere near Blue Earth, Minn. The sound made as it passed through the air resembled the noise of heavy cannon.

It left a long streak of fire and smoke which did not disappear for some time. Ten million young whitefish from the government fish hatcher)' have been placed in Lake Superior this season, and 15,000,000 more are to follow.
