VOICKM OF IHK NHJHT.

And I told him ao but he would uot go And what con Id a poor girl do?" 'It wa very lata when you retired!" Tee papa," I frankly said. Tor the man, yon see, just talked to me. Though I yawned till my eyee were red; And 1 went eo far when the clock struck t wl ve Ae to count the ttrokee all through; But the stupid! he just wouldn't eee And what could a poor girl do?" "X t was worse thau late when you retired!' "Why I tell you pa!" I cried, "If I hinted once to the tiresome dance, 'Twaa a hundred times beside! Why, eren I said you'd been iu bed For at least Ave hours, I knew; But he tipped his chair, and still sat there So what could a poor man do?" "Well, thejeemaes-gosh! was you up all night?" "Why, papa." 1 humbly plead, 'Don't thunder so! there's a man below; And he's sent vou his card and said That the reason why he stayed all night Was. that he wanted to see you, too. That he might ask for the hand I gave For what could a poor girl do?" OUT ON THE LAKE. AViJe open, blue eyes, fringed with jetty lashes a little slender nose a mouth tit for Queen Titania white brow, on which clustered rings of gold, in a fascination of disorder a cheek exquisitely fair, with tint upon it of the sea 9hell two little, soft, helpless hands two little, slippered feet, and you have the picture before Roydon Howard's gaze, and the inventory successively dotted down by him in his mental diary. A wfully pretty," was the verdict rendered, "absolutely good for nothing else. Ah, if life were all summer, such women would make perfect wives.'' An audible sigh followed the latter thought of this most grave philosopher; a sigh so deep, so profound, that it startled the girl from her reverie. "A penny for your thoughts, Major," she said, in a low, musical tone. The voice suited her, it was like all else about Fay Kichings in perfect attune. "You bid too low," answered the man; "and yet too high, since you ask upon a subject of whose reply you must be conscious. You forget that spending the last hour in your society, my thoughts could not wander far.'' "But you sigh. Must I hold myself responsible for the sigh, too?" 'I fear soin remembering that my furlough is rapidly slipping away, and that within a month I must join my Regiment on the plains, leaving my charming companion of this morning. Do you still bid a pennv to inquire into a thing so deep as a sigh?'' The color deepened a little on the beautiful cheek. ''His charming companion of the morning.' This was how he regarded her this man whose brave deeds had preceded him, until, before meeting, had assigned him something akin to hero-worship. A little, sharp stab of pain shot through her heart, but she smiled bravely. "All that was scarcely worth a sigh from you," she said. "It is never those who go amid new scenes who feel most keenly tbe parting, but rather those who are left behind, amid the old tamiliar surroundings, and say, 'Yesterday he sat here,' or 'yesterday we heard his laugh,' or perchance find a glove that he has dropped or a cigar half smoked to them it is something felt, something tangible." 'Do you think so? Does the sand sigh for th retreating wave when already one coming claims its welcome? I should indeed be glfkd to feel that Miss Fay sometimes gave me a thought among the many new aspirants for the hour she has sometimes bestowed on me. A soldier's life has many charms, spite of his hardships, and there is some fascination, spite of its pain, in the long, solitary musings he holds sitting at the door of his tent, when, instead of the plain stretching before him, he views the mental panorama of his past. I'm afraid mine will confine itself to one figure. Can you guess whose, Mfc Fay?" There was an instant's pause an instant when something stirred within Roydon Howard's heart, prompting the impulse to cry out: "Who but yours?'' Make imagination reality I Come with met Share a soldier's life, and let our mutual love smooth the rough places!'' But scarcely was it born than he strangled it. He had no reason to suppose that this girl cared for him; but even so, at test it was but a passing fancy. And in time of real danger where would she be? How would ehe fit him to ride forth to meet a foe? Either with hysterical weeping or a swoon. No, no. Here under the green tree, in a ball-room, at the head of a luxurious table, such women were charming enough to turn a man's brain; but in moments ol peril, when death, no longer clothed in the poet's rythm, stalked before them, bare and ungainly, it was little wonder that they fled shrieking from his grim presence. Therefore the pause lasted an instant only, then Itoydon answered his own question with a laugh. 'I declare, 1 am almost growing sentimental. If in anybody's presence but yours, Miss Fay, I should apologise for so unwonted a mood. But you are wholly responsible for it, and it must be with you so old a story to inspire it that I will not waste the words. By the way, there is my horse. I had no idea it was so late. Au revoir. Remember, I have the first and last waltzes this evening.'' The girl stood motionless, watching him as he strode away watching him vault upon his horse, his tall, superb figure showing 'such splendid advantage, watching horse and rider as they cantered out ol sight, the latter turning first to give her a farewell salute with his whip. "So, in scarce a month, will he ride out of my life," she murmured to herself with white lips. "Oh, Roydon, is it that you are too proud to ask me to share the peril and privation of a soldier's life, or that it would give you no pleasure to have me share it?" . "AVill you go out on the lake with me this afternoon, Miss Fay? asked Major Howard, a week later. "It looks a little squally, but we will keep close into shore, so as to run homo when the clouds thicken." "Of course I will comt," assented Fay, "and as to the clouds, don't watch them too closely. I rather like storms." "What a perfect picture she makes," thought Roydon, as he promptly, at the appointed time, assisted her into the sailboat he had named in her honor, the yachting dress of dark blue fitting closely to the exquisitely outlined figure, and on the golden bifida nestled a coquettish sailor hat. Fifteen minutes later a splendid breeze had carried them far out into the lake. ''The storm has concluded to postpone itself in our special favor," said Roydon, glancing up at the blue sky, ''or perhaps they don't think soldiers should be too severely tried as sailors. Which is it. Miss Fav?" "Do you appeal to me as the spirit of the storm cloud? If so, I shall call on it to avenee me." He answered it simply by a look, but it caused her eyes to droop. She stretched her little white hand down to the water's edge, watching the current resist it as the boat sped onward. 'So." he mased. ''am I resisting the voice of my heart so must I resist to the end." They spoke but little. They were alone and together around them water, above them the eky. beneath thcra a grave. And both were young, and in each heart the amefvoice was speaking, yet their lips were sealed. Thus an hour passed, when sudiv Rovdon tacked. What are you doing?" cried Fay in a

tone of disappointment. "Surely we're not going home?" "I wish to Ood we were already there," answered her companion with a blanched cheek, just as a little breath ot wind, fresher than any they had felt, blew upon them. "Don't be frightened, M.iss Fay," continued Roydon, assuringly. "It's one of these treacherous squalls. We're in for it, but I'll do the best I can." 'Can't I help you?" The man glanced up amazed. She neither cried nor groaned. There was no

tremor in her tone. His cheek was whiter than hers. "Pshaw! she did not realize the danger," he said, mentally. ''Can you hold thisf handing her a rope as he spoke. The next moment the squall struck the n. The little yacht lay fully on its fcide, then righted its;!!. Fay's lips were a little pale now, but no sound escaped them, only she bad held so tightly to the rope, spite ol his renstance, that it had already cut into the tender flesh. The storm was now fully upon them. It was fierce as it was sudden. They were drenched with water, lhey could no longer see each other for the spray. "Fay," cried Roydon, "you are frightened?" . "With you?" she answered. "No," and her tone was firmer than his own. The next moment the boat, struck by a sharper blast than the first, went over. Both found themselves clinging to its sides. ''Fay, tell me," he said, "that you forgive me for this. Oh, child, must we die when life holds so much sweetness?" "The storm won't last long. We may yet be saved," she answered, in her sweet young voice, "but Roydon, if 1 slip don't try to save me. It will only lose two lives, and mine is not worth as much as yours." My God! without you, what would mine be?" The words escaped him ere he realized their meaning. "Live it, then, for my sake, dear, ' Fay replied, "and remember, always, had 1 my choice, I wouldhave chosen to have died thus with you than to have lived on without you. My love, good bye." The next instant the waters had caught her torn and bleeding hands, all cut by the rope, from their slight hold; but Major Howard had spoken words with no idle meaning when he had asked her what his life would he worth without her. Quick as a current, in its hungry greed for its beautiful prey, he threw about her his protecting arm. Then, as thongh Heaven smiled, the winds ceased as suddenly as they had risen, and the sun burst forth from its hiding place, showing the rescue which was bearing down upon them. ''May I see you, if but for five minutes?" were the words scrawled on the card Fay held a few hours later, in her bandaged hands, as she lay upon her couch, very pale and exhausted, but with a heart full of gratitude for her wonderful escape, awaiting him who had penned the words. How well she knew the quick, impatient step, which heralded his coming. Her cheek flushed as he strode impetuously into the room. "I could not sleep before seeing you," he said. "My brave little girl! how little I knew you! I thought because you were beautiful there could be no courage in your soul; that because your hands were small and soft and white they could have no strength. Dear little hands,' taking them tenderly in his own. ''They helped to save our lives to-day. Fay, will you give them to me, darling? Will you be a soldier's wife, and teach him, my own sweet love, some of the bravery that only such women as you can teach to men?" A great light shone in the beautiful eyes upraised to his. "I owe you my life," she whispered. "If a debt so rich will receive payment so poor, take it Roydon; it is yours." How a Landlord wan Interviewed by an Enterprising Patente. I San Fraucisco Post. The affable and gentlemanly proprietor of one of our leading hotels had just finished his first forty winks after retiring the other night, when he was conscious of a slight noise under his bed. "Come out ofthat or I will blow you full of Sutro tunnels!" he shouted, as he sat up in the bed and cocked his revolver. "Hold hard, I am coming!" said the cona a . w. ceaied party, scrambling unaer tne oea. it was too dark to see clearly, but the hotel keeper could perceive a shadowy form arise and lean affably over the footboard. "What the blanknation are you doing there?" roared the incensed stenk tretcher. Now, keep cool take it easv don't get excited." said the intruder, blandly, "it's all your fault." "What the blazes do you mean?' ''Why, I've been trying my name is Sliggs, agent for Slushington& Sis zey, PhilaIphia I've been trying to see you fortwo weeks. Wanted to show you a patented article f the greatest value to your busi ness.' 'Don't want to see any agents but what the devil do you mean by ' "I was just going to explain," interrupted the cheeky customer. "1 determined to see you at any risk, so 1 just hid under the bed. lou see, I wanted to get at vou when you had nothing to bother you. Plenty of time to talk, you understand." "Well, of all the gall!" I won't detain you a minute," hastily continued the agent. '"I am trying to introduce a patent article of butter, and ' "We've arranged for all the oleomargar ine we want." growled the hash server. But this is another article entirely. It is a composition of semi liquid rubber, colored and manipulated so a? to exactly resemble best clover fed butter, liy its use the boarder of the period can be brought so as not to eat any butter at all." "Don t believe it " said the dyspepsia aggravator incredulously. "15ut it's a fact all the same," went on the agent, sitting on the foot board and lighting a cigarette. "You see the guest puts his knife in the butter, and proceeds to butter his bread. That is he thinks ho does, but the butter merely yields to the pressure of the knife. Instead of the portion being removed it really slides back to the original roll as he withdraws his knife. The boarder imagines he has spread the bread, however, and eats it contentedly. You know how imagination has to do with these things, anyway." "Big money saved if the thing really worked," mused the landlord. 'But it does work," persisted Mr. Sligg, "there are twenty-six restaurants and four large hotels using it in Chicago. . Big success, too. Doesn't give the bread that peculiar ahem wheel greasy flavor of regular hotel butter. Besides, there are no hairs and things. If it wasn't eo dark, I'd show you a sample that has been in use over eight months. All you have to do is to freshen it up with a little water and a weoden die once a month, and there you are." "I'll think over it," said the great American "extra" charger, thoughtfully. "Do so, and I'll see you in the morning," and after tucking the covers around the landlord's feet and bidding him a cheery good night, the butter agent unlocked the door and slid out. Instead of inspecting the new boon to tavern keepers the next morning, however, the hotel man put in time writing an adver tisement for the papers to the effect that if tne sneaK truer -who stole Tour seat rings, a set of diamond studs, six scarf pina, pair of sleeve buttons, gold watch and $oz in coin from a room in the hotel, would return the jewelry, he could keep the money and no questions asked.

RUNNING A CIRCUS.

A Manager's Reminiscences of the Days When Railroads Were Still Rare. Lifo at the Country Inns A Novel Plan to Prevent Cheating - Chalk Instead of Return Checks. (New York Correspondence Philadelphia Times. A very jolly and successful New York manager was found at leisure a few days aero bv a Times reporter. His season was over and he had come out ahead, as usual; so had some of his friends, and mention of one of these, who had once been prominent in the circus ring, led to the discovery that the manager himself had been in the circus business. '! sometimes wish myself in it, now, too, said the hearty old fellow. "I had to work like the well, like Garfield before Conkling resigned, but I never felt as well and had as much fun as in those old days." Old days?" "Yes; they were'nt so many years ago, when you come to look up the date, but there weren't many railroads then, and the business was managed so differently to what it is now that it seems a hundred years ago." ''Which part of the businesj did you manage?" ''Whichever there was most money in. At first I went ahead to 'place' the show; that is, I went to the towns where we were billed to appear and made hotel arrangements for the company and secured stabling for the horses. It was no small job then 'tisn't now, either to find good accommodations in a little town for fifty or sixty men and women and twice as many horses, a good many of them ready to be ugly if they weren't treated just so." "You had plenty of spare time on your hands, though, I suppose?" "Did I? Well, perhaps I did, but I don't remember it. Why there were weeks at time when I didn't sleep in a bed four hours out of twenty-four. Now-a-days, when every country town is sliced up by two or three railroads, a circus man can move about live ly, but even now he don't get much time to talk politics or play peker. In my time I traveled by wagon, and what a wagon I I wish I was in it this minute." A CIRCUS MAN'S HOUSE OX WHEELS. "What were the points of this wonderful conveyance?" "W ell, there was room in it for all my fersonal baggage; there were also places for unch and for . By the way, did you ever havo to take a drink at a country hotel twenty years ago?" The reporter virtuously replied: "les, medicinally." "That s what I mean, said the old gen tleman. "Didn't you always feel pretty soon after as if you'd been poisoned?" "Exactly." "Then you know why I had a compart ment especially for liquors. I had one for ice, too, and one for cigars. Generally I had to start out very early in. the morning, so I'd get the hotel proprietor or clerk to take me down to the kitchen and give me something to raake a breakfast ot when I got under way. There was a sameness about hotel kitchen pantries in those days; there wasn't much in them but bread, butter and pork. But such bread! Home-made, sweet, no alum in it. Such butter! Why, oleomargarine hadn't been heard of then. As for the pork, people who eat this distill ery-fed stuff that some New York butchers sell don't know what pork is. I'd make a let of sandwiches out of country bread, butter and fat pork and stow them away in the wagon, with some grain for the horse. Before daylight I'd be out and away at a ten mile gait, and ten minutes alter starting i d be fast asleep in my seat, with the reins around my wrist. My horse knew his business; re had twice as much sense as 1 had. lie d go like the- like the wind when the road was level, but if he come to holes, stones or a piece of 'corduroy' he'd go as softly as if he had corns. He'd cross all the bridges and ford streams that weren't bridged as long as it was dark, but at the first brook he struck after daylight he'd stop short. That meant business and I'd wake up. "Business? "Yes, breakfast. I'd take him out of the hbafts, take off his bridle, give him a mild drink and something to eat. Then I'd get out my owd breakfast and make up for the absence of cotlce by mixing some brook water and ice with something out of a bot tle. Jerusalem ? I'd give a hundred dol lars to-day for a meal that would taste as good as those breakfasts used to do. No close room, you know, smelling of the ghosts of thousands of bad meals; no dirty waiter lounging about; no played-out fel lows stragglirg in for black coffee to clear their heads after last night's spree. I tell you twas just the poetry of living, even ü it was on fat pork with a stump for a table and a handful of leaves for a napkin." A COUNTRY TAVERN MEAL. "But you must have found something be sides pork at country taverns?" "Yes; once in a while. In Court week or during the County air they'd persuade somebody to kill a steer and two or three sheep, but at other times pork was the rule. varied by ham and eggs. Chickens were scarcer man tney are in ixew xorK. in the spring, though, the landlord would sometimes strike me just before dinner, ex plain how he had tried to buy meat but couldn't get any, and then he'd apologize for being unable to give me anything but trout." "Great CVsarl" "You're right, my boy. I alwavs ac cepted his apology, went into tbe dining room and found in front of my plate a dish with a p.le of trout looking like about two bundles of kindling wood. "When I'd got through with that dish you couldn't have fed a cat on what was left." "How long did this bliss last?" "Not half long enough," sighed the manager, gathering in a reef of his waistband that he had unconsciously let out in memory of old times. "A rival concern offered me double pay and I went with them to break up the system of taking money at the door. You see, there were two or three partners and each one thought the others were cheating him by collusion with the doorkeeper. You've been to the circus?" "Somewhat: that is, I've been a boy." "Then you know that a man in a wagon sells tickets and these are presented at the entrance to the tent. Well, thero'd be a iva at the wagon; a man with a wife and three or four kids would get tired of roasting in the sun, so they'd make a break for the door and insist on paying the ticket-taker, who could hide away lots of money taken this way and nobody be any the wiser. The proprietors of the show asked me if I could manage the door without taking any money, so that they wouldn't have anybody but the treasurer to watch. I said, 'Certainly, if you can stand the row.' " "How did it work?" "Work? Well, I wish you could have eeen the racket. I weighed about 180 then and hadn't an ounce of fat on me, either; indeed, the polar bear and I were the only ferocious animals in the menagerie. I put myself into a velvet jacket, too smooth and tight for any one to get hold of; I had ray hair cut short so no fellow could get a grip on that, then I got a double line of thirty or forty of our drivers, beginning just outside the ropes and ending a good many rods away. The people had fair warning. 'No Money Taken at the Door,' was posted in big letters wherever we had a bill. But in spite of that some people came to the door

with money. A farmer with a big family wouldn't count noses and he'd reach the door without enough tickets." A NOVEL PLAN. "What did you do for him?" "I'd let in as many as his tickets paid for, but the man himself I'd take by the collar and the slack of his breeches, lilt him over tl e rope politely, you know, no swearing and in half a minute that double line of men would have him about a quarter of a mile away, and mad enough to kill somebody. It raised a tremendous row separ

ated families, you know, and set women and children crying. Pretty soon tne leiiow would buy a ticket, come back and free his mind.' "Wouldn't he show fight?" The manager winked profoundly. "Not after the taste he'd just had of my muscle oh, no. Hod pronounce it an internal shame, though, and I'd tell him 1 thought so, too, as 1 diI, but I'd explain tnat 1 was only following orders and he mustn't blame . - a a. m -w me for it, and as a rule tie rtiun t, lor i had. already been known through the circus routes for years as a pretty decent sort of a fellow. I don't think the row helped the show any, though. Besides the owners got up a new wrinkle; nobody could go out, even if in sight all the while, without paying again to go in no return checks." "How did that work?" "It made no end of trouble. The fellow who had the candy privilege fused to go around and draw the canvas walls up taut so as to nrnke it as hot as Tophet inside, as it would increase the demand for the vile tartaric acid mixture that he called lemonade. Just let mo tell you that when you get five thousand people and a hundred wild animals in a tight canvas tent with the sun blazing down on it, the place is as hot as a blast furnace and smells like a New York gutter on a summer day . Why, once in a while a puff of that air used to come out the door where I wa- standing and almost knocked me flat; even a strong cigar under my nose wouldn't help me much. Of course people would want to come out for a breath; I'd let them go, but remind them that they'd have to buy fresh tickets to get back with. 'Twas a regular outrage all around; some of the women would faint and the children would get sick, though men knocked under quickest in the bad air. Nine out of ten of tho people who wanted to go out were men." "What did you do about it?'' "I numbered them." "Numbered?" "Yes. I got a big piece of chalk and cut it down to a good broad point. When a fellow wanted to go out I'd tell him it was against the rules to come back without a fresh ticket, but that I'd make an exception in his case if he'd let me number him. So he'd turn around and I'd chalk across his back in big figures any number that hap pened to come into my head." "And you kept duplicates? "Not much. I knew nobody else would counterfeit my signature my figures, I mean for the sake of getting in free; be sides, I could remember their faces anyhow. When the fellow came back I'd turn him around, look at the number, say 'All right,' and shove him in. It always made a big excitement in town. I know one of the managers came to me one day and whispered that he thought a Lunatic Asylum had been let loose to come to the show. 'What makes you think so?' I asked. 'Because there's a lot of fellows around here with big numbers chalked on their backs,' said he. When I explained to him he laid right down on the grass and rolled. I really thought he'd burst himself laughing." "But didn't the chalk spoil tbeir clothes?" "That was their lookout. They could choose between it and the price of a new ticket. When a tony fellow came along that could afford the fifty cents as well as not, but was too mean, to do it, he was well marked, and don't you forget it. A decent fellow who wasn't very well dressed I'd let off with a single figure and not a very big one, either just big enough to warn him against going out too often; but the ton ier a man was the more chalk ho got. Some of them had a whole sum in addition on their backs and the figures were big enough to read half a mile away. You ought to have seen me fresco the backs of a lot of British officers in full uniform, up in Canada one day. A genuine gentleman I'd sometimes let up on by going through tbe motions of chalking. Pel do it with my knuckle." "Did you chalk women, too7" "No; a woman who went out of that sweat-box never wanted to go back again not that day, at any rate. Besides, although the numbering was tun to me, 1 couldn't stand it to be poisoned at the door by foul air just because a heartless brute wanted to bull the lemonade market, so 1 made such a hubbub that the managers forbid any more drawing up of the canvas except in very rainy weather." "Did people always fill circus tents in those days?" "fcvery time, it the show had any sort of reputation. We've set our tent at crossroads without a house in sight, and six hours later wed have the whole County there; there'd be more wagons than anybody ever iaw following an Army, besides saddle tioises enough to mount two or three regiments of cavalrv. Ah, those were the good old times!" .Just then the box agent came upstairs with a drawer full of currency and the reporter departed to advertise for a country hotel where they serve trout with an apol ogy. 1IOUSKHOLD KNOWLKOGK. Sour Milk Cake. Beat together one cup sugar, half cup butter and one egg. Add one cup sour milk with one even tea spoon of soda stirred into it. Then add two cups of si f tod flour, a half cup of chopped raisins and spice to taste. Loaf Cake. Beat together two cups white sugar, one scant cup butter, three eggs and three teaspoons baking powder. Aid a cup of sweet milk and then gradually beat in three heaping cups of flour. Sprinkle a little powdered sugar over the top of the cake before baking. Cabbaoks Cooked in Cream. Take two quarts of chopped cabbage, boil until tender and the water is nearly gone; then pour in two-thirds of a cup of cream, with salt and pepper to the taste, boil fifteen minutes and serve; or, instead of the cream use vinegar, with butter the size of a walnut, and you will havo hot slaw. Preserved Oranges. Take any number of oranges, with rather more than their weight in "white sugar. Slightly grate the oranges and score them round and round with a knife, but not cut very deep. Put them in cold water for three days, changing the water two or three times a day. Tie them up in a cloth, boil them until they are toft enough for the head of a pin to penetrate the skin. While they are boiling, place the sugar on the fire, with rather more than half a pint of water to each pound; let it boil for a minute or two, then strain it through muslin. Put the oranges into the syrup till it jellies and is of a yellow color.. Try the syrup by putting some to cool. It must not be too stiff. The syrup need not cover the oranges, but they must be turned, eo that each part gets thoroughly done. Oat Cake. 1. One cup sour milk, one cup cold water, one cup oatmeal, a tablespoonful molasses, a small teaspoonful soda; use fine outmeal. 2. Mix lukewarm water and oatmeal pretty stiff; roll out about onequarter of an inch thick; bake one side on a griddle, tho other before the fire; salt it to taste. If the meal is left too long mixed before baking it will become short or brittle. 3. Soak a teaoupful of meal over night, that it may swell, salt to taste, but don't put more water than the meal will absorb, stir with a spoon until you can mold with the hands, add just enough wheat flour to make the meal adhere together, roll with a rolling pin till

the dough is a quarter of an inch think; cut in forms and bake in an oven not too hot; you might say only dry them out; they do not need much backing, as the meal has been already dry-cooked in a kiln. As they burn easily, be careful not to scorch them. 4. One cup rather fine oatmeal, three cups of

waier, wiin sail 10 lasie; sur logetner and let the meal swell. Bulter a pie tin, pour the batter in, bake half an hour or until a rich brown tint. 5. One cup oatmeal soaked over night in one cup water, salt to taste; in the morning add one cupaour milk, one cup wheat flour, one teaspoonful soda. Bake in gem pans. 1 f they are moist and sticky add a iiuie more nour next urn 3. A German Stewed Calf's Head. Parboil a goodsized head. In the water place two fairly big onions and a teaspoonful of .11 i i - .... auspice; cnop a neaaoi celery and put it in. When boiled take away the bones and drain. Put the meat in a stewpan with two tablespoonsful of butter, a tablespoonful of flour, a tablespoouful of brown sugar, a tablespoonful of vinegar and a tablespoontul of currants. L.et it brown slightly. Serve it with the tongue on top, and garnish with pickles and beets. Delicious Indian Pudding Steamed. Put a quart of milk over the tire in a double kettle, and when it boils add to it one teacup of yellow meal dissolved in a little cold milk. (This cold milk may be taken from the quart before it is put over the fire ) Let the milk and meal boil together well for a full hour. Then lake it off the fire, pour into a large bowl and let it get perfectly cold. Then add three or four welloaten eggs, a half-pound of suet finely chopped, one teaspoon of powdered cinnamon, a half cup of sUned raisins, one teaspoon oi Royal baking powder, and a little salt. Mix and beat well together. Grease well a tin mould, cover tightly, and steam in a kettle of boiling water from two to three hours. A tin lard pail with a good cover is an excellent thing to boil the pudding in. It must be eaten with the liquid wine sauce. Orange Tartlets. These are made by lining pattypans with sweet short paste, filling with uncooked rice and baking to a light color; then, the rice leing removed, each tartlet is furnished with a tmall quantity of compote of oranges cut up small. Orange tartlets are usually served cold, but they may be made hot by being put into the oven for a short time after they have been filled with the compote. The following is another form: The shell of paste is made the same in diameter as the oranges about to be used ; these, after being peeled and cored and cut in half lengthwise and treated with syrup; then half an orange with the convex side uppermost is placed on eacn tartlet, ana a small quantity of syrup is poured over. This variety of orange tartlet can be ornamented with candied cherries, angelica, blanched pistachio nuts or almonds. KELIGIOUS NOTE AND INCIDENT.

The Philadelphia Ledger contained tnis advertisement: "Wanted, for the country, a man who must know how to milk, and be a Protestant." The Freeman's Journal takes occasion to hit Father Gavazzi a rap on the strength of this. It says he knows how to milk, in the way of taking up collections to carry on his Protestant work in Rome. Work on the excavation of a cellar for the new Methodist Church at Florence, N. J., received a pleasant start at the hands of the ladies. Twenty-five of the youngest and best looking, attired in graceful and appropriate costume, dug out the first cart load of earth. The occasion was one of great interest, a Jarge crowd being present and applauding the helpful ladies. The revision of the Old Tertament steadi ly proceeds. The company having com pleted the first revision of the books of the Old Testament, and a second revision of the Historical Books and the Psalms, is now engaged upon the second revision of the prophetical books and the remaining portion of the poetical books. This has proceeded as lar as tne eleventh verse of the third chap ter of Isaiah, which was reached at the six ty-ninth session of the Chapter Library, Westminster, in the last week in May. The Congregation alist It is a remarkable fact that the new ver sion does not change one iota of Christian doctrine. It wili not be accepted as the authorized version by the Church, but it will take its place as a commentary by all scholars. We must remember that the old version has the Church authority and the only one which can be used in public worship. The new revision deserves calm, courteous, thorough examination, and it will receive it from all who love truth more than their preconceived fancies. I doubt whether it is possible for the new revision to supplant the old translation in the private or public use of Christian people. Multitudes to whom the older version has become sacred will say, "No man having drank old wine straightway desireth new, for the old is better." Bishop Whipple. Married People Would be Happier. If home trials were never told to neighbors. If they kissed and made up after every quarrel. If household expenses were proportioned to receipts. If they tried to le as agreeable as in courtship days. If each would try to be a support and comfort to the other. If each remembered that the other was a human being, not an angel. If women were as kind to their husbands as they were to their lovers. If fuel and provisions were laid in during the high tide of summer work. If men were as thoughtful for their wives as they were for their sweethearts If both parties remembered that they married for worse as well as for better. If there were fewer silks and velvet street costumes and more plain tidy house-dresses. If there were fewer "please darlings," in public, and more common manners in private. If wives and husbands would take some pleasure as they go along and not degenerate into mere toiling machines. Recreation is necessary to keep the heart in its place, and to get along without is a big mistake. If men would remember that a woman can t be always smiling who has to cook dinner, answer the door bell half a dozen times and get rid of a neighbor who has dropped in, tend to a sick Daby, tie up the cut finger of a two-year-old boy. gather tp the playthings of a four-year-old. ie up the head of a six-year-old on skates, and get an eight-year-old ready for school", to say nothing of sweeping, cleaning, etc. A woman with all this to contend with may claim it as a privilege to look and feel a little tired sometimes, and a word of sympathy would not be too much to expect from the man, who, during the honeymoon, wouldn't let her carry as much as a sunshade. Saved by a Woman. New York Herald. Perhaps woman's true function in this world is to keep a jail. This point is re spectfully submitted for consideration to all those advanced philosophers who are in doubt as to what woman's mission really is: and with the suggestion we give them evi dence on the point. Ina despatch from Detroit they will find a history of how a sheriff's wire saved a prisoner from the tender mercies of a posse of lynchers. As the lynchers were engaged in securing their prisoner in the jail, she fastened the outer doors, started the fire alarm and called in j the whole town. It was lucky for that mur derer that the snerm was away.
