What She thought Zenanas were. A lady missionary not:l'oilg ago was thanked at the close of a meeting for having explained what a zenana really meant. The lady who thanked her said she had always been under the.,impressicil that there was a tribe in India the men of which were called bananas, and the women zenanas. Missionaries, it -has been well said, in addressing some meetings, cannot assume, the existence of too much ignorance, or, speaking metaphorically, fire too low.

The Child's Calendar. In a child's calendar there are three impor- tant epochs, each marked with red letters the first is its birthday; the second is Chris t- mastide "the third, and this is painted in a more vivid scarlet than is either of the other two, the annual visit to the sea.

Plum Jelly. Stew two pounds of good red plums with sugar to taste. Take out the stones, and see that you have nearly a quart of pulp, etc. Stir in one ounce of gelatine powder, taking care that there is sufficient heat to dissolve it. Crack the stones and" remove the kernels which should be added to the jelly. Pour I into a wetted mould and stand till cold. Serve with custard or whipped cream.

Not Feeling Well. Jjfariner (to, Medical Man) If you get out my way any time, doctor, I wish you'd .0 stop and see my wife. I think she ain't feeling well." Doctor Wbat.makes you think y 1% Farmer "Well, this morning, after she had milked the cows, an' fed the pigs, an' got breakfast for the men, a washed the I Ll dishes, an'built a fire under the copper in wash-house, and done a few odd jobs about the 'o!:se. she complained o' feelin' tired-Iike."

The Unobservant Eye. ■ Not one man in fifty can give a vivid de- scription of people he meets every day. The p,i colour of their eyes is a mystery to him the shape of their nose and chin an insoluble problem. Then he cannot tell whether, if they be men, they wear monstaches: if they be women, whether their complexion is mod- erately light or moderately dark.

Home-made Sausages. Excellent,sausages may he made of veal and ham, beef and smoked, bacon, game etc.' The meat should bo passed twice through a mincing machine, mixed with, some bread- crumbs and some fat ham,or bacon chopped not BO finely as the lean meat, flavoured. mixed with an egg, and each sausage roiled in muslin and boiled. When cold the muslin must be removed, the sausages covered with egg and breadcrumbs, and fried or, if liked cold, may be glazed and served with any suit- able garnish. The muslin coverings should be afterwards washed-and dried for future use.

A PUBLISHER'S REMINISCENCES. Yf Mr. Edward Marstou's volume ofrennniscencea, published in his eightieth year under. the title of "After Work," there are, among many other interest- •' ing passages, a number of descriptions of colebritiea with whom Mr. iMarston- likd husine63-.relations; Here are a few picked out: CHARGES RKADK. —A moat inrfircstiug man. Tall, stout, florid, husky-voiced, wii'h large, wide-open, gentle eyes, "like those of a cow," as himself would say. R. D. Bi-ACKMCW. —Sent us many letters of humorous nbube.

A most aristocratic man, dignified, pIt-aMnt, and courteous but very difficult to converse with, for he was ext-neuicly deaf. WILKn: C< LLiKS. —Ha.d C< LLiKS. a perfect KNOWLEDGE of his own value; he needed no literary agent to make bargains for him.

HARRIOT B £ SCHKK STOWK.—A charming little woman, bright and pleasant in conversation, with an o< rational air of absentness.

THE ETERNAL SPELL OF ROME. The following passage is taken from "The Poet's Diary," edited by one bearing the nom do plume of "Lamia": After all, what right have we to dictate what the Italians shall do with Italy, or the Romans with Rome? I confess that when I hear people from Droitwich or Chicago, nay, from Oxford or New England, criticising things, Jtal'an, I cannot- help feeling they would do better to cultivate a little bumibtf, and little thankfulness. One is not disposed to underrate what has been done for man- kind by one's own race, on. this side of the Atlantic or ou the other, liut culy a fanatically partial patriotism would deny to Italy the proud privilege of having most enriched the world with what the world values most. Neither Spain, nor France, nor Germany, nor even England, can boast to have graf ted civilisation on conquest so success- fully and so widely as Rome. Religion, Science, Art," Literature,. Law, all hare to trace I-linir fertilis- ing streams back to Italy; and nothing is more astonishing than the persistent vitality of Italian civili.-ation. Italians lilvo had their periods of despondency, and even of degradation — what nation has not? But for nigh on 3,000 years Italy has had its architects, its sculptors, its soldiers, its law-givers, its poets, its navigators., its searchers of the stars, its rulers cf ItWn. When one goes to Italy, one should go. not to censure, but to adore-; to learn, not to criticise nor to carp. To every educated person Italy is "the old country"; to every filial mind Konio i?"11u> alma ytrttrur. Only in Rome can we trace the majestic pageant of the. centuries, following each other, now with elate, now with faltering footstep, but always contributing son.(thing to the onward, if at times devious, marth of man.

BURNE-JONES, MOIUUS, AND ROSSETTI. From a letter addressed to Charles Edward Norton, and printed in the "Memorials of S.ir Edward Burue-J ones," wo extract the famous artist's references to William Morris and to Dante Gabriel Rossetti in 18,80—when the brilliancy of the latter'* zenith had given place to the morbid melancholy which closed his earoer: Towards evening Morris came — for it was Gebrgie's (his wile's) birthday—and you would have found him just..as. if-no time had gone. by, only the bt;f.t talk with him is while he is hungry, for meat makes him sad. So jit is wise to delay dinner, and get out of him all you can in walks round the garden. He is unchanged—little grey tips to his early kvg-iio more; not quite so stout; not one hair less on his head, buttons more off than formerly, never any necktie—more eager if anythingUMnpver, but about just the same things; a rock of defence to us all, and a castle on the top of it, and a banner on the top of that— before meat—but the banner lowered after that. 'I Then the family—how unchanged all tlieee years, and what happy fortune for me, and why ? and how long will it be? Alas! I say we are not changed, but how do I know ? Come and see. One night lately I spent the evening with Rossetti—there is change—enough for us all if it had been distributed among us, among any seven of us. He has given it all 'up, and will try no more, nor care much more how it all goes. It's nine years since he t ame to the Grange—now he goes nowhere, and will scarcely see anyone. Four or five times a year I go to spend a ghostly evening with him, and come back heavy-hearted always, sometimes worse than that—it's all past hope or remedy, I think, and his best work has been done-and I do not know how it has all come •bom.
