COOKING BY misunderstanding to a
French provincial paper, a case of instantaneous
cookery, little short of miraculous, has just oc-
Cured in the department of the Saone ct Loire.
A stew pan, containing meat, vegetables, and the
usual ingredients for soup, was placed on the
stove, when the house was struck by lightning.
The electric fluid descended the kitchen chin
ney, played few gambos among the pots and
pans and then made its harmless exit through
an open door. What was the establishment of
the cook, when, proceeding in fear and trem-
bling to inspect the condition Of her savory pot
age, she found the water boiling, the meat and
vegetables thoroughly done, and the soup of an
excellent flavor

HOW SOFTLY ON THE BRUISED HEART

LOW SOFTLY ON THE BRUISED HEAkl
How softly on the bruised heart
A word of kindness falls,
And from the dry and parched soul,
The moistening tear-drop calls.
o, if they knew, who walk the earth
Mid sorrow, grief and pain,
The power n word of kindness hath,
Twere paradise again
The weakest and the poorest may
This simple pittancc give,
And bid delight to withered hearts,
Return again and live.
O, what is life if love be lost,
If mans unkind to man;
Or what the Heaven that waits beyond
This brief and mortal span.
As stars upon the tranquil sea,
In mimic glory shine,
So words of kindness in the heart
Reflect their source divine;
q, then, be kind, whoe'er thou art,
That breathest mortal breath,
And it shall Tighten all thy life,
And sweeten even death.
