When 1 was born, something happened. It sounds frivolous, but is not meant so to be in the least, because, while the thing could have happened without my having been born, still k never could have come into existence unless what took place at the identical moment of my birth did take place. I am now no more. I have disappeared from being. Sounds complicated, doesn't it? But i it isn’t. As soon as I was bom I came into possession of one man. 1 had no other parent, and the man was all the time I fearful lest he should be obliged to share me with another. So he kept me religiously to himself. In the course of time he died, and on his deathbed he bequeathed me to his ■ most intimate friend, who was very much surprised to get me and not a lit- ■ tie disturbed withal, but he had me, and the conveyance had been made, and ! that was all there was about it. So he in turn kept me many weary’ years never letting me go, all for the sake of his old friend, my former owner, who had died. But the friend did not like me, it was clear. . One night, after an especially indigestible supper, he commenced talking in his sleep, and his wife listened. At that identical moment 1 gave up the ghost. For, while there are but few men who could have retained me. it is quite ' impossible for any woman whatsoever to have done so. 1 I was a secret.—New York Journal.

THE HOUSEHOLD. Autumn Fruits Served as Compote. and Tarts—A New Use For Wooden Plaques — Peach Cobbler. French cookery highly favors the oompote, which is in its foundation merely fresh fruit boiled with a very little sugar. It seems a pity to thus use the delicious products of tree and vine, so refreshing in their natural state, yet when fruits freshly gathered, neither over nor under ripe, are properly c<x>ked, with the skin removed, they can be eaten with greater impunity by children and jieople of delicate digestion Compotes make also beautiful dishes and add to the attractivenesis as well as the susbtantial quality of a repast. The following recipes furnish some tempting examples of this and other ways of using fruits Damson compote: Damsons inquire a great deal of sugar, and a liberal amoimt must be allowed, almost weight for weight. Stew the fruit until tender and pass it through a sieve, so the skins are left out and the pulp only is used. Take some toasted sponge rusks, dip them in liquid butter and line the bottom of a dish with them Poor on a thick layer of the damson pulp. Sprinkle with a layer of rusk crumbs, with a wee shred of butter here ami there, and put the dish in the oven to brown for a few minutes. When served, cold cream 01 custard may be sent to table with the comjsite Plum Tart.—Take some good, ripe plums, remove the skin- and stones and stew them with a little water and plenty of sugar to sweeten them Make some nice pastry with Hoar, butter, the yolks of 1 or 2 eggs, a pinch of sugar and a little water to moisten Roll it out and line a mold with it, or, if more convene nt. use a deep tart tin Put in a piece <>i hitcher l paper buttered and half fill with rice- Bake, and when cooked carefully shake out the rice and till with the plums Boil up the sirup until reduced and thick, when peur over the plums in the tart Apple Compote With Jelly.—Take some good cooking apples, cut them in half, peel them and remove tl core, put them m oold water for a minute, then into a sirup of sugar and water, with the rind of a leu.on, and stew them gently until <dear and tender. Remote the fruit carefully into a glass | dish. Chop up one or two apples into I little pieces and cook them in rhe sirup, tidding more it needed until the fruit I is pulpy, wbi'u strain oft the sirup, add a little gelatin dissolved in water and I a few drops of carmine and wine, if apI proved, to taste Pour over tiie applet ' in the dish and leave til! cold and set. A New Use For Wooden Plaques. A new device for decorating, or rather utilizing, the pressed wooden plaques now adapted to so many purposes is mentioned by The Decorator and Furnisher. Making the natural grain of the wood serve for the lights and shades, a very fair landscape or marine view can be made by scraping the wood away in places, so that when held up to the i light the effect of a transparency is obtained The usual practice is to draw a horizontal line through the center of the plate, and then scrape the back of the plate above the line, leaving the I part below untouched A deep puncture made here and there answers for a moon and headland lights, and a moonlight night at sea is really very well imitated if to heighten the effect a sail I be painted in black upon the plate just below the line of the horizon Boiled Rice. This sounds simple, but there is only I about one cock in 50 who knows how to cook rice properly. Take a breakfast cup full of rice and wash it very thoroughly. Into a sauceiian of fast toiling water throw the washed rice and allow it to toil for a quarter of an hour or longer, the test whether rice is cooked perfectly being that a grain can be rubbed away easily between the finger and thumb Any resistance would prove the rice unfinished. When boiled sufficiently, put the rice into a colander

Beware 0! the Knife. Mr. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfield, Mo., writes: “For six years I have been a sufferer from a scrofulous affection of the glands of my neck, and all of physicians in Washington, D. C., Springfield, 111., and St. Louis failed to reduce the enlargement. After six months' constant treatment here, my physician urged me to submit to a re moval of the gland. At this critical moment a friend recommended S.S.S., and laying aside a deep-rooted prejudice against all patent medicines, 1 began its use. Before I had used one bottle the enlargement began to disappear, and now it is entirely gone, though I am not through with my second bottle yet. Had I only used your S.S.S. long ago, I would have escaped _ years of misery and saved over . This experience is like that of all who suffer with deep-seated blood troubles. The doctors can do no good, and even their resorts to the knife prove either fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only real blood remedy; it gets at the root of the disease and forces it out perrnaS.SJS. {guaranteed purely vegetable') A Real Blood Remedy, is a blood remedy for real blood troubles; it cures the most obstinate cases ot Scrofula. Eczema, Cancer, Rheumatism, etc which other so-called blood remedies fail to touch. S.S.S. gets at the root of the disease and forces it out permanently.

and allow all moisture to run off. Pour over a cup of cold water, put the rice back into the saucepan and keep it covered near the tire until dried. A squeeze of lemon juice while the rice is boiling will aid it to separate more easily and give a totter color to the grains. Peach Cobbler. Line a pudding dish with a crust made with a quart of flour. 4 tablespoonfuls of lard or butter and one-half teaspoonful of salt, mixed as for biscuit [ with sweet milk or water and rolled thin. Over this crust sprinkle 3 tablespoonfuls of flour and 2 of sugar mixed together Then put m layers 3 pints of [leaches sliced thin and slices of crust. Sprinkle over them a coffee cup full of sugar Put on an upper crust Press the edges together and make two openings in the top Bake half an hour in a quick oven and serve with cream Broiled Tomatoes. Cut the tomatoes in halves, sprinkle the inside of the slices with line bread crumbs and pepper and salt Place them in a double broiler and broil over the fire for ten minutes, having the outside next the tire. Carefully slip them on a hot dish (stone china) and put bits of butter here and there on each slice. Put the dish in the oven for ten minutes and then serve, or. concludes Miss Parloa, if yon have a range or gas stove, brown before the fire or under the gas. Green Corn Soup. Grate the corn from about 10 nice ears, put corn and cobs together into a quart of boiling salted water. Cook about ten minutes and remove the cobr Then add a quart of milk, with a little butter, pepper and a tablespoonful oi flour stirred up in a little cold milk. Let it cook slowly ten minutes and serve. First of Its Kind. Buzzfuzz—Eden must have been a summer resort. Tomtot —What gave you that idea?
